Welcome to Hank’s Place —
Here at Hank’s Place you can come out of the rain of judgment. You can get away from the rat race — of trying to outdo your co-worker. There are no Jones to keep up with, hallelujah!
At Hank’s Place, each of us is accepted in the beloved. Eph 1:6. The Beloved of course is Jesus our Savior. His blood has covered our failures and inadequacies before the Father. His blood lives. What’s even more amazing is He has carried our transgressions away so they will never be found, by you, by anyone, not the devil, not even God, for He has promised to remember them no more. Heb 8:12.
And Jesus lives forever to make intercession for us (Heb 7:25) as our great High Priest — eternally so no new ones can be added in the future. Pretty powerful what Jesus did for us at Calvary, isn’t it?
When the God of all creation, the Almighty God, the One who sits on THE throne in heaven, the Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end, takes a look at you – or me – what does He see? His child. His son. His daughter. See His arms extended and welcoming you? See His face, smiling with joy as He beholds you? It’s true.
And at Hank’s Place I’m hoping these truths become more self-evident. They are in His word; I’m not making this up.
The devil’s big weapons are accusation, rejection, fear of rejection, and fear of death. From childhood we learned about accusation. Something happened – and an adult comes on the scene demanding to know who did it or who started it – and we may find ourselves the accused even if we had no part in it – happen to you? It’s happened to every child. And what child has not been left out, rejected from the team, the gang, the group, the ‘in’ crowd – it’s happened to all of us. Not pretty, and lengths we would go to in order to be accepted, right? How about fear of death? The lies we told to avoid a beating – or things we did, or didn’t do for fear of punishment? It has happened to all of us.
But NOW, IN CHRIST JESUS, we have been set free from condemnation. Ro 8:1. Set free from accusation. Set free from bondage to this body of flesh and principles the world lives under. Translated into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (Col 1:13) where there is LIFE and LIGHT, Gladness and JOY in the Holy Spirit.
My friend, whatever your burdens today, LOOK UP – REMEMBER Jesus your Savior, Almighty God your Father, approving of you. Supporting you. Remember the defeat of the devil at Calvary, a done deal. Col 2:15. Yes, remember — now, throw those grave clothes away, the way blind Bartimaeus did with his beggar cloak (Mk 10:50) when Jesus called him. Walk in the Spirit, walk in the kingdom you were destined for, by faith — and COME ALIVE!
