BLESSINGS DURING MOURNING

 My Dear Precious Child,
    To the naked eye after Jesus was crucified and He was pierced with a sword, His blood and some water flowed from His wound.  To anyone who saw it, their testimonies were true and the witnesses knew that He was telling the truth so that you will believe also.  The legs of the two robbers who were on either side of Him were broken because they had not died as quickly as Jesus had.  It had been prophesied by David and other prophets that not a bone would be broken. (Psalm 34:20; Exodus 12:46)  While His disciples and followers were mourning His death, He died so quickly because He had a duty to do for Me and for humanity.  He had to go to hell for the sins of all of humanity and the world, and He had to fight the devil in hell, winning back the authority to heaven and earth that I had given to Adam, but Adam had then given it to the devil at the beginning of time.  Jesus had been well prepared by Me in our intimate times together for what was to happen at His crucifixion after He had begged Me not to take My Holy Spirit from Him.  Yet, He gave up the power of His Spirit Himself.  It was not taken from Him.  That was all part of the plan, the mystery that was hidden since the foundation of the world in My mind, that the Gentile pagans would be the first race to partake of My new covenant, not the Jews who insisted that they were still waiting for the Messiah because they did not recognize Jesus Christ as being the One for whom they waited.  (Colossians 1:25-29)
     So while His disciples and followers mourned His crucifixion and death, Jesus Christ, by the power of My Holy Spirit, was battling demonic principalities and powers in hell. (book of Revelations) He was victorious in hell.  Then He rose from the dead and appeared to several hundred people, confessing to His disciples that He had regained authority to the heavens and earth.  (Matthew 28:17-20)  He told them to go and baptize people in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
    Previously a disciple of Jesus, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly went to Pilate and asked to let him take away the body of Jesus, which Pilate granted.  Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes along and they took the body of Jesus, bound it in linen with the herbs, as was the Jewish custom.  There was a new tomb in the garden in which Jesus was killed in which no one had been laid.  Jesus' body was laid there.  Blessings and miracles were being prepared by Me for the disciples and followers of Jesus, many of which had been prophesied by the old prophets.   For three days Jesus was busy in hell defeating the devil and retrieving the authority to the earth and heaven from the devil in order to give it back to people who became born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.
     Miracles and blessings awaited the followers of Jesus Christ then and even now when My Holy Spirit draws human beings to Me.  The disciples and followers of Jesus Christ had observed Him perform a multitude of miracles in My name by healing the sick and diseased, casting out demons, raising the dead and twice feeding several thousand men and their families with only a few fish and loaves of bread, plus their seeing Him walking on water toward their boat.   However, His appearing to them as the resurrected Christ was one of His greatest of miracles.  He had promised that He would come back to them, and He did.  Then, after He ascended into My heaven to sit down with Me on My throne in heaven, to those people who obeyed His last command and went to Jerusalem to the Upper Room to wait for My promise were privileged to see Him come again in His glory to be with them forever when My kingdom of heaven came into their lives on earth, that being the answer to the prayer which He told them to pray. (Matthew 6:10)
     It was not just the crucifixion and the death of Jesus Christ that fulfilled the prophesies of old.  It was His activities in hell and His being catapulted back into the earth to be observed by people that were vital parts of My plan.  Without His being made visible to human eyes again and His disciples writing about it, there would be no evidence of the Risen Christ, the basis upon which Christianity is based, which is that He was dead and is now Alive again.  That phenomenon is experienced by all of Christianity, their being born again by the power of My Holy Spirit which makes you a member of My family of heaven, filled with My spiritual genes which cause you to become My image in the world.  You actually become a member of another country, which is My kingdom of God.   The evidence of that new Life is an abundance of love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, patience and mercy in your earthly human characteristics.   If there is no love, there is no evidence of spiritual character.  If there is no desire to keep peace with everyone, there is no evidence of spiritual character.  If there is no goodness and kindness toward other people, there is no evidence of spiritual character.  If there is no mercy instead of judgment for other people, there is no evidence of spiritual character.  If there is no patience with the sins of other people, there is no evidence of spiritual character.   Transformation from being worldly to being spiritual is always the result of being in unity with Me.  You go from having hell on earth to having heaven on earth.
     Your Father of Spiritual Transformation
