Day 59
Nine meanings of My covering
I prepared one word to contain everything I wanted to say on this subject of atonement. The word atonement has nine definitions in the Hebrew dictionary.
That word means first of all to cover. That’s what My blood is doing. My Abba can’t see the sin when you accept Me and gave Me your life. We took a blanket and covered your life with My blood. We imputed to you My righteousness. You were covered with My robe of righteousness. Because of Abraham’s faith I declared him to be righteous. I will also declare you to be righteous if you believe Me. (Romans 4:22-24)
Your sufficiency is Me. I have become your sufficiency. (2 Corinthians 3:5)
The word in the Greek for atonement is propitiation. I am the propitiation for your sin and not for yours only but also for the sins of the whole world. I became the covering for your sin. (1 John 2:2)
The second meaning is to expiate, to remove the old thing that was in the way, to cancel the dept. That’s what My atonement is doing. When My adversary comes to accuse you I have to say there’s a voice coming from this blood that says the debt is all taken care of. And it keeps speaking just in case you keep getting in trouble and My blood just has to keep on talking. It’s a message that just keeps on going up before My Abba.
The third meaning is to appease the wrath or to remove the cause of wrath so I am not angry anymore.
The fourth meaning is to cleanse. If you walk in the light as I am in the light you have fellowship with each other and My blood cleanses you from all sin. (1 John 1:7)
Disannul is the fifth one. This means to render the charges void or any records that were there, to render them void. To obliterate the pronounced sentence. The pronounced sentence of death abolished. Leaving this body isn’t death but that sentence of death that separates you from Me is destroyed.
The sixth definition is forgiveness, restored to the original place in My heart, the spot that mankind had when I created Adam and Eve.
The seventh definition is to obtain mercy. Mercy is kindness with sympathy. People can be kind and still not feel. But when real mercy is shown, it’s kindness with sympathy.
The eighth definition of Atonement is to purge. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to Me, purge your conscience from dead works to serve Me?” My atonement has a purging, cleansing influence. (Hebrews 9:14)
The ninth and last definition of Atonement is to reconcile and to make peace. Because of My blood My Word becomes a living pulsating Word from Myself to you. My Word has life circulating through every page and every verse. It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh doesn’t profit. My Words that I speak to you are spirit and life. (Hebrews 4:12)
