Subject: Abandonment

Scripture: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46)

Here physical torment takes its toll. He suddenly discovers that he cannot hear the still, small voice; he has lost his two-way communication with God. His lifeline is not working, so he must face the narrow gate of death alone. Jesus did this for us. His life was not taken, but He gave His life for the world to live. We all at some time in life have felt the loneliness, the pain of being alone. This show us that God can not look on sin. Jesus was carrying the whole world’s sin on Him that day. I am reminded of a devotional book I read every day by Mark Brazee, I love this book!“Prescription For A Miracle” This article tell us that Jesus was our scapegoat who carried our sins for us, (Leviticus 16:21-22).

He said, “When the nation of Israel sinned, that sin had to be judged. (Remember, Israel was a type of Church.) But Goddidn’t want the people to suffer judgment: He wanted them to receive mercy. So He told them to find a spotless, perfect goat. The people were to bring this goat to Aaron the priest. Aaron then laid his hands on the goat and confessed the sins of the nation over it. Afterwards, someone took the goat out into the wilderness. The judgment that belonged on the nation of Israel then fell on that scapegoat. In other words, God allowed the sins of the people to be transferred through the hands of Aaron to that goat, and the goat bore the sins of the people and carried them away.When Jesus went to the cross, God lay upon Him all the sin, iniquity, sickness, suffering, and pain of mankind. Jesus was the ultimate scapegoat-taking our place in judgment, taking the punishment we deserved.” Such as encouragement to know He gave His life for me.

“Around the ninth hour, Jesus shouted in a loud voice, saying "Eli Eli lama sabachthani?" which is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46

“And at the ninth hour, Jesus shouted in a loud voice, "Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani?" which is translated, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Mark 15:34

This saying is traditionally called "The Word of Abandonment" and is the only saying that appears in more than one Gospel. This phrase is the opening line of Psalm 22. It was common for people at this time to reference songs by quoting their first lines. In the
verses immediately following this saying, in both Gospels, the onlookers who hear Jesus' cry understand him to be calling for help from Elijah.

It was said that the form means: 'My power, my power, thou hast forsaken me!'"

As other has indicated what their saying refer too, this one is Abandonment. Which mean
to leave completely and finally; forsake utterly; desert: to abandon one's farm; to abandon

a child; to abandon a sinking ship, to give up; discontinue; withdraw from: to abandon a research project; to abandon hopes for a stage career, to give up the control of: to abandon a city to an enemy army, to yield (oneself) without restraint or moderation; give (oneself) over to natural impulses, usually without self-control: to abandon oneself to grief, and to cast away, leave, or desert, as property or a child. So when we feel abandon we must remember Jesus carried that for us on the cross of Calvary. (John 3:16)
Worship Song:

Calvary Cross

“On the cross of Calvary,
Jesus died for you and me;
There He shed His precious blood,
That from sin we might be free.
O the cleansing stream does flow,
And it washes white as snow!
It was for me that Jesus died
On the cross of Calvary.”



To me, my life seem so dull now. I feel like I am not getting anywhere in my spiritual walk. Things seem to be coming at me left and right. Even as I type this I got a message that really hurt my heart. But I am going to keep on trusting God with all my heart. The Word says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart,  And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

I have done that for the pass ten years, even more so now. And, yes, it works!  The more you trust God, the more the enemy bring problems into your life. We have to keep on trusting, and our faith must keep on growing in God, because we go from faith to faith in this walk with the Lord.

Years ago God spoke to my heart through the Holy Spirit with this scripture “Cast all your cares upon Me, for I care for you, (I Peter 5:7). I was going through problems on top off
problems. I was living in a place I didn’t want to be, doing a job I didn’t want to do, and didn’t know if it was God’s divine call on my life to be in that situation. I was confused! My sons was going in the wrong direction. My mother
was sick at the time, (she is now with the Lord). Then my sister who were my mother’s care giver got sick right after that, and now she is with the Lord too. I really miss them . They both loved the Lord! I am sure of that. After that, I
start getting sick, but I reached out and claimed my healing by Jesus’ stripes, (I Peter 2:24).

Also I was reading a devotional book call (Prescription for a Miracle by Mark Brazee). Very good book. I truly believe everything this book is teaching. Every time sickness tries to attach itself to my body, I come against it with God’s Word. It is a battle, but I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus my Lord, “more than conquerors through Him who loved me, (Romans 8:37).

I know you are wondering why I am saying this! Its in my spirit concerning “Complete Trust in God.” I have written other encouraging devotions on trust, and the way the world is going today we must trust God. This message and other ones I have wrote keep turning over and over in my spirit. I have, and still is learning to trust God with every area in my life, and everything that concerns me.

Every day there are new trials and battles in my life, but God’s mercy is new every morning, amen. “It is the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassion fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:23). Listen to this “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ, (I Peter 1:3-7).

We are going to be tested in our faith in God during these days. That is why we must have complete faith and trust in Him, no matter what happen. I have three sons, and all three of them are having problems, problems that brake a mother’s heart, BUT GOD!!!

I am standing on His Word today, because He is my Helper, my Redeemer, my Keeper, and my Friend. I am so grateful that He came into my life and blessed me with the knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ as my Savior. I will sing praises to the Lord Who is above all lords. God is a very presence help in time of need. The enemy is fighting God’s people and trying to keep them from trusting Him.

Life greatest spiritual secret is trusting in God.

I read this and must share it. Have you ever struggled and fretted because your life wasn't going the way you wanted? Do you feel that way right now?  You have legitimate needs and desires. You know what would make you happy and you pray for it with all your might, asking God to help you get it. But if it doesn't come to pass, you may feel frustrated, disappointed, even bitter.  Sometimes you do get what you want, only to discover that it doesn't make you happy after all, just disillusioned.  Many Christians repeat this cycle their entire life, wondering what they're doing wrong. I should know. I was one of them, and it tries to creep back into my life often.

The Secret is in the 'Doing':

A spiritual secret exists that can free you from this cycle: Trusting God. Trusting in the Lord. What?" you're asking. "That's no secret. I've read that dozens of times in the Bible and heard lots of sermons on it. What does she mean, secret?"  The secret lies in putting this truth into practice, by making it such a powerful theme in your life that you view every event, every sorrow, every prayer with the unshakable conviction that God is totally, spotlessly trustworthy. That says a lot, but you have to act.

That's where we mess up. We want to trust in anything rather than the Lord. We'll trust in our own abilities, in our boss's judgment of us, in our money, our doctor, even in an airline pilot. But the Lord? Well…It's easy to trust in things we can see. Sure, we believe in God, but to allow him to run our life? That's asking a little too much, we think.

Disagreeing Over What Really Matters:

The bottom line is that our wants may not agree with God's wants for us. After all, it's our life, isn't it?  Shouldn't we have the say over it? Shouldn't we be the one who calls the shots? God gave us free will, didn't he?

Advertising and peer pressure tell us what's important: a high-paying career, a head-turning car, a drop-dead-gorgeous home, and a spouse or significant other who will make everyone else green with envy. If we fall for the world's idea of what matters, we get trapped in what I call "The Loop of Next Time." The new car, relationship, promotion or whatever didn't bring you the happiness you expected, so you keep searching, thinking "Maybe next time." But it's a loop that's always the same, because you were created for something better, and deep down you know it.

When you finally reach the place where your head agrees with your heart, you're still hesitant. It's scary. Trusting in the Lord can require that you abandon everything you've ever believed about what brings happiness and fulfillment.

It requires that you accept the truth that God knows what's best for you. But how do you make that leap from knowing to doing? How do you trust in the Lord instead of the world or yourself? The Secret Behind This Secret

The secret lives within you: the Holy Spirit. Not only will he convict you of the rightness of trusting in the Lord, he'll help you do it. It's just too tough to do on your own.  Because the Holy Spirit knows you better than you know yourself, he'll give you exactly what you need to make this change. He's infinitely patient, so he'll let you test this secret—trusting in the Lord—in little baby steps. He'll catch you if you stumble. He'll rejoice with you when you succeed.

As someone who has gone through many things, the deaths of loved ones, broken relationships, and job layoffs, I can tell you that trusting in the Lord is a lifelong challenge. You never finally "arrive." Each new crisis calls for recommitment. The good news is that the more often you see God's loving hand working in your life, the easier this trusting becomes.

When you trust in the Lord, you'll feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off your shoulders. The pressure's off you now and on God, and he can handle it perfectly.  When you trust God that dullness I was talking about earlier don't least forever.God will make something beautiful of your life, but he needs your trust in him to do it.   Are you ready?    The time to start is today, right now. This has truly blessed my heart. I was so blessed when I studied this, and when I did research for it.   Complete trust in God daily.　

I can't get any help!  Where is the staff?
