Call Upon Jesus as King, Physician, and Deliverer

1/12/2026

There are a lot of different categories of issues in life, and the only question one must come back to in a fallen world, and a spectrum of calamities amongst humans is this: IS JESUS CALLED UPON as King and Physician and Deliverer—or not? Is this His legitimate child, or are they just wearing a mask? Is this person clothed in Jesus with His Spirit, or just religious? Is “You will know them by their fruit” just a phrase Jesus used, or is that going to be how we settle it?

There are a lot of different categories of issues, some outright intent sin, some more complicated:

1) Actual sins and failures, either repented of and washed or not, but all have them, and all are equally violating the majesty and holiness of God, because He is God. Selfishness, fear, laziness, murder, and talking when we shouldn’t are all the same, if they are not what God wants. If they violate Him, they have “crossed” the same line.

IS JESUS CALLED UPON as King and Physician and Deliverer—or not? Is Jesus a game to justify, or is Jesus just a hobby or buzzword? Or is He a Person, as He was to King David?

Why did these things happen? Youth? Inexperience? Reaction to pain or fear? Childhood trauma? Illness or hormones lowering the hedges? Fog of war—not pondering clearly or thoroughly what God wants? Was it “the other person’s fault,” as Eve with Adam?

How do we view it all? How did God and others view it with David? Shimei didn’t respond the way God or David’s friends did. Who was right?

2) There could be illusions, misconceptions, and misunderstandings that Satan slings out there to test human response. “Take, kill, and eat.” Topics like slavery or hair length or things we may be culturally unaccustomed to—God may not be as offended as we are—and they (or we) have His chance to grow or change over time.

3) “Blamelessness” can be in different categories. “Eat my body and drink my blood” was called by some cannibalism, and was especially offensive to the Jews. Jesus could have explained what He meant—but refused to. “Decide based on my fruit if your mind can’t wrap around it.” Jesus did that “lack of blamelessness” on purpose. For refusing to explain “tearing down the temple and rebuilding in three days,” His “lack of blamelessness” contributed to His execution. But He was free to not explain such things, and it separated some who looked for fruit from some who had to be in control of understanding, but never looked into the mirror themselves. It was a setup. Designed by God, for everyone’s good.

4) Was the “sin” or “misconception” or “illusion”—a “thorn in the flesh to not be conceited,” or to not take our eyes off of Jesus and put our eyes on ideas instead of Him?

It doesn’t ever come back to “things,” but to: IS JESUS CALLED UPON as King and Physician and Deliverer—or not? Is Jesus a game to justify, or is Jesus just a hobby or buzzword? Or is He a Person and Redeemer, and is HIS Spirit present?

We can’t “mix and match” our judgments, or when we look in the mirror, we have the same dilemma. It’s either JESUS’ DNA or it’s religion. Because life as humans is never going to be about your lack of sin or misunderstanding or illusion, or anyone else’s (1 John 1).

As the booklet 35 years ago, Revelation of Christ, discussed... It doesn’t ever come back to “things,” but to: IS JESUS CALLED UPON as King and Physician and Deliverer—or not? Is His Spirit the cleansing agent, or our “figuring it out until our minds are satisfied” while we simultaneously misjudge ourselves?

It’s a tough world out there. “Judge a righteous judgment” means far more, probably than we thought it did, and it becomes a test and opportunity for Z-axis growth for anyone God sets up with such a skandalon.

Humans are prone to want utopia rather than the Blood to satisfy. And all without looking at the Spirit or themselves honestly. We all tend to forget both in the moment.

The “Ecosystem” where Jesus lives requires that the Deep calls to the Deep. There’s not another version of true Christianity available.

“Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

Apparently, to be close to God… the suffering Jesus would endure, the cup he would drink, is automatic. “You don’t KNOW what you’re asking.”

Being an elbow rub away from God, that close, and the willingness to drink His cup of pain and rejection—are inseparable.

We all have to decide if we will “drink the Cup.” Not out of gullibility, but out of looking for Jesus, for the Tree of LIFE, rather than our perception of “good and evil.” That’s not an easy call, because it is better Solved by 1) looking in the mirror honestly, and 2) by looking for His Life around us—rather than evaluating others, or evaluating situations we may not understand, or illusions, or sins like our own, which are washed in Jesus.

“These are the days” that Satan is going to go full out to kill and lie, and destroy, and create issues between his enemies, as the book of Nehemiah illustrates his strategies to create doubts and fears and divisions. Suspicion and loyalty don’t coexist and he knows that. If suspicion is based on ideas rather than Spirit, then it’s not hard for him to create disloyalty.

Why did Satan want to kill Moses as a baby? Why did Satan want to kill Jesus as a baby, and then again as an adult?

“Can you drink the cup?”—I doubt the question was even 50% about “physical pain.” We all love the idea of “supernatural”—but I’m not sure any of us yet understand this doorway into the place of principalities and powers and spiritual rulers and authorities in the unseen realm.

“I’ve been the one on the left, I’ve been the one on the right. But, thank God for the Man on the middle cross.” There’s no other Story. Or it’s just more religion.
