It Is Finished
Jesus said in John 19:30, "...'It is finished'..."
What, exactly, is finished?
Everything.
When you see what Jesus did on the Cross, understanding exactly what He meant when He said, "It is finished"—because everything is finished—that's righteousness. He left nothing under any stone, nothing hidden... absolutely zero areas of life untouched. He took everything and completely washed it away.
This is the most exciting topic that you'll ever have in your life, if you get it. If you get it, there is nothing behind you anymore. If you get this, there's absolutely nothing in any closet anywhere; there's nothing hidden; there's nothing that God hasn't already forgotten about that He didn't get with the clean sweep of the Blood of Christ—nothing. You'll wake up in the morning with His mercy that is new, and you'll have an absolutely clean past where there's no blemish, no spot, no wrinkle—nothing hiding or ready to creep back into your life. It's all gone.
We Have a Choice
God put in place the absolute ability for us to walk in complete freedom. We have to choose whether we're going to believe that what He did is enough.
The problem is we don't all believe that we've been forgiven completely, so we still revisit stuff that Jesus said is finished, which puts us in a spirit of heaviness and disables us from worship. (Photo via PickPik)
The truth is you're a brand-new creation. Old things have passed away; all things have been made new.
I hit this thing and go after it hard, because this is the strength of the Gospel. The Gospel is that the Blood of Jesus set you free and cleansed you of all unrighteousness so that you can live and be free and walk in righteousness. He cleansed you from all sin, not just some sin. All sin. Now you have to choose to believe that. If you don't, then you're going to be wrapped up in your past and in all things that aren't new, and that just keeps you in bondage.
True Breakthrough for the Soul
True breakthrough for the soul takes place when the truth about the Blood of Jesus becomes a reality in our lives.
We sing about the Blood of Jesus all the time. We talk about the finished work, the Blood, and give thanks for the Cross. We go crazy because our hearts know it's true, but our minds are still bound if they haven't been renewed. The song or sermon ends, and then the excitement is gone. Our hearts say "yes" but our brains are still trying to figure it out. We've got to stop trying to "figure it out." Rather, when a thought comes against what our hearts already know, we've got to bring that thought captive to the finished work of the Cross!
In 2024, let's be a people devoted to the Word of God and intimacy with the Father, whose minds are constantly being renewed!

Todd White is the founder and president of Lifestyle Christianity, located in Watauga, Texas. Lifestyle Christianity began in 2014 as the evangelistic ministry of Todd White. Todd became a Christian in 2004 when he had a powerful salvation experience. Todd was a drug addict and atheist for 22 years. He was at the point of suicide when God came into his life and set him free. As a new Believer, Todd began sharing the simplicity of the Gospel of the Kingdom and what Jesus Christ accomplished at the Cross. It was common for Todd to see dozens of people healed as he shared Christ's love for them throughout his normal everyday life. Since that time, Todd has been passionately pursuing his call to see people fully walking in their identity in both the purity and power available in Christ. Lifestyle Christianity desires to see people walk in their God-given identity. Gripped by the simplicity of the Gospel and what Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross, our heart is to see people brave the waves of fear and share the love of Jesus everywhere that they go.
