Everything you receive from God flows through Jesus Christ—He is the divine channel, the unshakable bridge, and the only Source of life, grace, and truth.
Nothing comes from the Father to you outside of His Son.
From your salvation to your daily strength, from forgiveness to righteousness, from peace to spiritual authority—Christ is the Source of it all.
Jesus From the Very Beginning
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)That’s where it starts.
Jesus didn’t just show up in Bethlehem—He was from the beginning.
When John says, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, he’s declaring that the eternal God took on human form to make a way for you to know Him, receive from Him, and walk with Him.
The Word that spoke light into the darkness became the Lamb who took away the sin of the world.
Jesus is The Source of Everything from God
You can’t bypass Christ and still receive from God. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me, Jesus said in John 14:6
He’s not an option—He’s the Way. And more than that, He’s the only Way.
He’s also the Truth, which means everything God says to you, gives to you, or expects from you is revealed through Jesus.
He’s the Life, which means the very breath in your spirit, the spark that keeps your faith alive, is sustained by Him.
You in Christ and Christ in You
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. John 14:20
That’s oneness. You are in Christ and Christ is in you.
So when God looks at you, He sees His Son.
When you speak the Word in faith, Christ is speaking through you.
When you pray, your words rise before God with the authority of the One seated at His right hand.
You Are Complete Only in Jesus Christ
Paul put it bluntly in Colossians: Ye are complete in him. (Col. 2:10)
You lack nothing, because He lacks nothing. Every need in your life—spiritual, emotional, physical—is met in Him.
And it’s not just about receiving blessings, it’s about the finished work of Christ stripping the enemy of his power.
Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. That’s not just a future promise.
That’s your present reality in Christ.
So if you’re asking, “How do I receive from God?”—look to Jesus.
If you’re wondering, “How do I overcome sin, fear, or condemnation?”—it’s through Jesus.
If you’re desperate for peace, purpose, or power—it all flows from Jesus.
He is the beginning and the end, the Source and the Supply. Your role is to abide in Him, and everything the Father has is yours through the Son.
Faith in The Cross is The Only Means to Recieve from God
The Cross of Jesus Christ is not just a symbol—it’s the means, and the only means, by which every good and perfect gift from God becomes yours.
Without the Cross, there’s no forgiveness. No peace. No power over sin. No access to grace.
Everything that comes from God flows through Jesus Christ, and everything Christ gives is made possible by what He did on that Cross.
This is where your old life ended. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
That means when He died, your sin, your shame, your guilt—all of it—died with Him.
Jesus Died On The Cross For You
The Cross wasn’t just for Jesus. It was for you.
You were crucified with Him so you could walk in newness of life.
Reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:11)
There’s no other way. Your best efforts can’t earn righteousness. Religion can’t produce holiness.
Only the Cross has the power to kill the old man and raise you up in the new.
God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, Paul said. Gal. 6:14
He didn’t boast in his knowledge, his experiences, or his ministry—he gloried in the Cross, because it was the only means by which the world was crucified to him, and he to the world.
Everything that stood between you and God was nailed to that tree.
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us… and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Col. 2:14
That’s not just poetic language—that’s divine reality. Every accusation against you, every sin Satan used to enslave you, every legal right hell had over your life—gone. Cancelled. Broken. Stripped of power.
And here’s the victory—having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Col. 2:15
In what?
In the Cross.
Not in the Resurrection alone, not in the Ascension alone—but in the shedding of His blood on that rugged wood.
The devil lost his claim to you when Christ bled and died in your place.
So don’t look to yourself. Don’t look to effort or works or discipline to try and access what Christ already paid for.
Look to the Cross.
Glory in it.
Rest in it.
Live by it.
Because every blessing, every bit of freedom, every drop of grace, and every promise God has made is delivered to you through that old, blood-stained Cross.
The Cross Must Be The Object of Your Faith
With your Lord Jesus as the Source, and the Cross as the Means, the Cross of Christ must be the object of your faith—always.
Not your feelings. Not your efforts. Not even your understanding. The Cross. That’s where the power of God flows from. That’s where your victory was won.
Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect (1 Corinthians 1:17).
Paul didn’t try to impress people. He didn’t try to make the message more acceptable to the culture around him. He knew that if he softened or shifted the focus away from the Cross, the power of the message would vanish.
Because it’s not eloquence that saves—it’s the blood that was shed.
All Power Resides In The Cross
To the natural mind, the Cross doesn’t make sense.
The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18).
You won’t reason your way into salvation or sanctification. You’ll believe your way in—and the only thing worth believing in is that Jesus died for you.
That’s the foundation of everything you are in Him.
You can’t afford to move your faith off the Cross.
Not for a second.
Not to self-effort. Not to religious systems. Not to the latest Christian trend. Because once your faith shifts, your victory slips.
Paul said it plainly: We preach Christ crucified (1 Corinthians 1:23). Not Christ the teacher. Not Christ the miracle worker. Not Christ the example.
Christ crucified. That’s where the devil was disarmed, and that’s where you were delivered.
So how do you live free? How do you grow, overcome sin, experience peace, walk in purpose? Not by trying harder. Not by checking off spiritual to-do lists.
I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2). That’s not just a salvation message.
That’s the daily life of victory. Every promise God has made to you flows through that place of death on The Cross—because that’s also the place of life.
Make the Cross your only boast.
Make it the anchor of your hope. Make it the object of your faith—and keep it there.
Because when your eyes are fixed on the Lamb who was slain, the Spirit of God will go to work in you without fail.
With your Lord as the Source, the Cross as the Means, and the Cross exclusively as the object of your faith, the Holy Spirit will go to work on your behalf. That’s the divine order. God designed it that way.
The Spirit of God doesn’t respond to effort, emotion, or sincerity—He responds to faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
The Cross isn’t just where sin was defeated. It’s where the Spirit was given access to live and move in you. Once your faith is planted in the Cross, the Holy Spirit begins to move—cleansing, empowering, renewing, guiding.
But if your faith drifts—if it shifts to yourself, your works, your willpower—then He stops. Not because He’s angry, but because He’s limited. He will not function outside the boundaries of the Cross.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:1).
Walking after the Spirit means walking by faith in what Christ accomplished, not by trying to make yourself righteous. When you keep your faith anchored in the Cross, the Spirit leads you out of bondage and into freedom.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2).
That’s not theory—that’s reality. The Spirit of life operates in Christ Jesus, and the way you access that freedom is by faith in His death on The Cross and what was accomplished there for you. That’s where the law of sin and death lost its grip.
But if you start trusting in yourself, or anything you did at church or otherwise, you’re walking after the flesh again. And the flesh can’t please God.
It can’t overcome sin. It can’t produce holiness. Only the Spirit can do that—and only through the Cross.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live (Romans 8:13).
Notice who does the work—the Spirit. But He does it through the Cross, and only when your faith is placed there.
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13).
You didn’t work your way in. You didn’t earn closeness to God. The blood brought you near. The Cross tore the veil and made a way for the Spirit to dwell in you.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father (Ephesians 2:18).
That access doesn’t come from church attendance, good behavior, or religious activity. It comes through Him—through what Jesus did on the Cross.
The Holy Spirit is given to you because of the Cross, and He works in you as long as your faith stays fixed there.
So don’t shift your focus. Don’t lean on your strength. Don’t put your faith in faith.
Keep it in the Cross—exclusively—and the Holy Spirit will move in power, guiding you, changing you, and working for you in ways you never could on your own.
