don’t let your cross become a cross of

rebellion don’t let something that

happened in life because it rains on the

just and the unjust tragedies happen

things happen in life and it will either

make you or break you

it will either become a cross of

rebellion or a cross of repentance and

if you will say Lord I don’t understand

everything but I just give you my life

completely I’m not my own so if if this

is the cross I am the bear in life that

I will bear it and I will let it draw me

closer to you hi I’m sherry Burnette

right here in the country of Haiti I

want to come to you today with something

that is so dear from my heart and that

is the Haitian people

pastor Jenson you and your partners your

church your Kingdom connection people

your hearts are touched right now with

the cry the poor for those people here

in Haiti and thank you so much there are

great needs right now after this

hurricane pastors have been coming down

through the mountains people have been

coming to the gates and people have been

calling us and saying their homes have

been washed away their cows their their

goats they’re chickens they’ve lost in

every single thing that they have they

lost their Gardens just when the gardens

were about to harvest they’ve lost

everything and now hunger is coming into

these villages here in Haiti and they’re

all asking for one main thing and that

is food please send food please send

food so listen if you’re listening today

and you’re watching this please let your

heart be touched with the cry the poor

this is an emergency and I also want to

say pastor Jensen I thank you Bobby

thanks you for those two trucks that you

bought for us you and your partners

bought for us right after the earthquake

we’ve been taking food

the mountains every single day those

Chuck’s were working from sunup to

sundown but now they’re breaking down

every day and breaking down in the

middle of nowhere because they’ve been

used so much so this is another urgent

need to replace those two trucks that we

used all the way back in the earthquake

they need to retire and we need to get

some good trucks to get this food into

the mountains so it won’t break down on

the way anymore

but whatever your gift is large small

Widow’s mite whatever God has blessed

you with I just pray that your heart

will be touched with the cry of the poor

and you will respond today this is a

crisis thank you from the country of

Haiti

and we want to welcome you to a very

special edition of Kingdom connection

and I’m here with a live group from all

over the nation we’re experiencing the

Holy Land in an amazing way

and I’m going to share today what God

has laid upon my heart I want you while

you’re watching this telecast to know

that we’re in Jerusalem and we are on a

tour and I thought it would be powerful

if we could just take a little time to

minister to you from this powerful place

behind me is where the temple was in

Christ time where he overturned the

tables cross from that is the Mount of

Olives there where he preached Matthew

chapter 24 so many prophecies and

messages about the second coming and of

course this is the city where Jesus bled

and died this is where they put his body

in the tomb and this is where on the

third day he rose again and so I believe

today that God is going to speak to you

in a powerful way open up your heart and

let him do it if there’s a need in your

life while I’m preaching if you want us

to pray for you and we’re going to pray

before we end this program if you’d like

to know somebody’s praying for you today

somebody cares wherever you’re watching

this telecast around the world I want

you to call the number that’s on the

screen and we’re going to agree and pray

with you I was thinking about Matthew

the 27th chapter and it tells the story

of one that’s always moved me it says

that there were three crosses there were

three men hanging on those crosses those

crosses were on a hill called Calvary

and I want to talk to you for just a few

moments about those crosses it wasn’t

one that was crucified we often only

talk about the one and rightfully so

Jesus is Lord and worthy of our praise

but let’s not forget that there were

three who were crucified that day maybe

the Roman soldiers just

didn’t want to have to do be out there

for hours

one crucifixion after another so they

probably just grouped them together and

they were really saying that you know

you’re known by the company that you

keep and just throw Jesus in with these

two thieves because he’s a criminal too

in our minds and so they crucified the

three there were three bodies that were

sagging on those pierced hands the shame

of the nakedness all three of them

suffered the shame and the pain of the

dust in the heat and the morbid

curiosity of the crowd looking on as

they were being crucified the crosses

the shame the way of execution was the

same but their deaths were totally

different

I see three crosses there was a man on

the left of Jesus there was a man on the

right of Jesus on a cross and there was

the man in the center of course who was

the savior the Lamb of God that takes

away the sins of the world and I thought

about how that that man on the left of

Jesus has intrigued me for a long time

just reading scriptures I don’t know

what made him so hardened I don’t know

what made him so calloused that he could

actually be ten feet away from the

Savior God in the flesh bleeding dying

hear the groans the blood spurting out

of Jesus body and he was calloused he

was hardened enough that the Bible said

that whatever life had done to him made

him so bitter so upset that he cursed

Jesus and cursed God and he mocked him

and made fun of him and said if you are

God then come down off of the cross if

you are Messiah come off of the cross he

didn’t understand Jesus hate coming down

off of

cross would not have proved he was

Messiah it’s staying on the cross and

dying and taking our sins but he was

bitter and the Bible said that the last

thing that he did as that man was dying

was he cursed and lifted his voice and

rejected Jesus it’s the cross of

rebellion and sometimes it’s amazing

that people can go through things and

I’ve seen it as a pastor and I don’t

know what you’re going through but don’t

let your cross become a cross of

rebellion don’t let something that

happened in life because it rains on the

just and the unjust tragedies happen

things happen in life and it doesn’t

matter if you’re living for God or not

living for God but what I’ve learned is

everything’s better with Jesus including

trouble because when you go through it

you go through it alone if you don’t

have Jesus but when you have Jesus he

said I’ll never leave you and I’ll never

forsake you I’m never alone but I’ve

seen people who go through things and

instead of instead of softening their

heart instead of causing them to draw

closer to God through the pain that

they’ve been through there comes a

rebellion in their spirit in their heart

and this man on the left of Jesus he was

he was dying on the cross of rebellion

now what’s interesting is there was a

man on the right side of the cross that

Jesus was hanging on and I love this man

because he was going through the same

thing the man on the left side of Jesus

was going through in it amazing how we

can go through the same thing and the

same son that hardens clay softens

butter the same gospel that saves one

condemns another to eternity inhale the

same gospel that can break some and

cause them to fall to their knees can

cause others to become to resist the

Holy Spirit all

over and over until they no longer feel

a conscience in a and and anything for

God they’re going through the same thing

they’re within a few feet of the Savior

this man on the right of Jesus is

hanging on the cross and he he he

listens he watches as they lay Jesus on

the cross and they drive the nails

through his hands he watches the the

blood as it flows he watches this man as

they raise him and the thud of the Cross

drops into the ground and his body tears

and twists in pain and in agony he’s

expecting this man on the middle cross

at any moment to curse he’s expecting

him to say something foul to those who

are crucifying him but instead he hears

him lift up his voice and with blood

cake lips he cries Father forgive them

they know not what they do and this man

on the other side of the cross of Jesus

on the right side of the cross cries out

with mercy and he says oh Jesus

I’m asking you remember me when you come

into your kingdom and Jesus turned to

him and said this day you will be with

me in paradise I’m talking to people

right now all over the world and you’re

going through things that you never

dreamed you would go through you’re

carrying your cross and the cross will

come to your house and to your family

the cross will come you will suffer you

will go through painful experiences you

will experience things that happen in

life and you’re either gonna have a

cross of rebellion or you’re gonna let

what happens to you like the man on the

right of Jesus he had the cross of

repentance because it melted his heart

you see if you will allow it

whatever

enemy has done will cause you to even

draw closer to Jesus that we can see the

power of God manifests through our

suffering and through our pain and

through a hurt and someone is listening

me today and you’re going through

something and I’m telling you that the

cross that God has allowed you to be on

and to carry in this life it will either

make you or break you

it will either become a rebel cross of

rebellion or a cross of repentance and

if you will say lord I don’t understand

everything but I just give you my life

completely I’m not my own so if if this

is the cross I am the bear in life then

I will bear it and I will let it draw me

closer to you three crosses the cross of

rebellion the cross of repentance and

the cross of Redemption that middle

cross that Jesus hung on he was bleeding

and he was dying for the whole world for

God so loved the world that He gave His

only begotten Son that whosoever would

believe on him should not perish but

have everlasting life and I believe

today that Jesus Christ has already

taken to the cross your addiction he has

taken to the cross your suffering and

your disease and Isaiah said he was

wounded for your transgressions and

bruised for your iniquities the

chastisement of your peace was upon him

and by His stripes you are healed and so

I tell you that that middle cross the

cross of redemption redeems us from the

curse of the law it redeems our family

it redeems our children it redeems our

house it redeems us from a pass the

shame the guilt it redeems us even from

the things of life that are supposed to

make us bitter and make us rebel even

more against God that cross of

redemption can take

what the enemy meant fire evil and

actually turn it for good and so I’ve

come today with a simple message on

Kingdom connection someone is watching

me today and you’ve been through

something and you don’t understand why

and you’ve been allowing that thing to

cause rebellion to come in your heart

and the Holy Spirit has sent me today

all the way from Jerusalem for you to

tell you that you don’t have to get

bitter at God you don’t have to get to a

place where you are filled with offence

and angry but if you will allow the

message of redemption to reach you today

he would love for you to repent of your

sins and turn to Jesus with all of your

heart and I’ll tell you what he’ll do

he’ll give you grace he’ll either take

you through it or he’ll give you grace

enough that you will bear it and one day

you will hear him say well done thou

good and faithful servant and I’m

praying for you today that you’ll turn

that cross of rebellion into a cross of

repentance and experience the cross of

redemption it can happen for you today

how many of you believe that that are in

the studio audience how many of you how

many of you know right now that the

grace of God is flowing now I’m going to
