"Clay Cantrell Re: "
The Edge ""
Something came to mind about your vision of the
precipice that you found yourself on. There is scripture saying
that when The Lord Jesus died for sin He descended into the
heart of the earth. The following verses may explain why you did
not feel fear at the prospect of being "on the edge". You can
make your own conclusions. Sounds like you experienced something
that you will do, or something that was done in the Spirit,
which you have.
Eph. 4 : 8-9
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended
first into the lower parts of the earth?
Lu. 16 : 25- 26
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things:
but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf
fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence.
Rev. 1 : 18
18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive
for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
1 Pe. 3 : 18- 19
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the
flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in
prison;
Col. 2 : 15
15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a
shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Job 1 : 7
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan
answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth,
and from walking up and down in it.
Acts 2 : 27
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt
thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
The belief is that the Lord descended, took the keys from the
devil, then walked across the abyss defying gravity and preached
to the O. T. saints so they could receive the
atonement of the New Covenant.
Mt. 14 : 25-26
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
