Story behind the song
'POWER OF THE CROSS' is the 5th release from the VOLUME OF THE BOOK; 12 song compilation.
POWER OF THE CROSS single release date: 12.31.2023/5784.
Lyrically, the song POWER OF THE CROSS can be synoptically summarized according to 1 Corinthians 1:1-19; 1 Corinthians 2:2-16; Isaiah 53:5, ...
1 Corinthians 2:6-16(NLT), "...when I am among mature Believers, I do speak with words of Wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this World or to the Rulers of this World, who are soon forgotten. No, the Wisdom we speak of is the mystery of GOD, His plan that was previously hidden, even though He made it for our ultimate glory before the World began. But the Rulers of this World have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious LORD. That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what GOD has prepared for those who love Him." But it was to us that GOD revealed these things by His Spirit. For His Spirit searches out everything and shows us GOD'S deep secrets. No one can know a persons thoughts except that person's own spirit, and no one can know GOD'S thoughts except GOD'S own Spirit. And we have received GOD'S Spirit (not the World's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things GOD has freely given us. When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from Human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by The Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain Spiritual truths. But people who aren't Spiritual can't receive these truths from GOD'S Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are Spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. Those who are Spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. For, who can know the LORD'S thoughts? Who knows enough to teach Him? But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ..."
Isaiah 53:5(KJV), "...He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed."
1 Corinthians 1:18-19(NIV), "...The message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the Power of GOD. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate..."
"...So Brothers and Sisters in Christ, in 2024/5784, be of good cheer, let's continue to be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of The LORD, knowing that your labor is not in vain in The LORD.
1 Corinthians 15:58(KJV) "...And I am certain that GOD, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."
Conduit of LORD Jesus,
Rosa A. Banks, Acts 26:18
