The Intercessor, Vol 33 No 1

Excerpt from The Intercession of Rees Howells
by Doris Ruscoe

“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”–Romans 6:6

Self cannot put self on the Cross: only the Holy Spirit can do this. If the death of the Lord Jesus is real to you, will you go to Calvary with him? It is not weeping for the death 2000 years ago but being willing to go to death yourself. I have never tried to show Calvary in words. It must be a revelation. Death must work in you and then life, and just to the extent you allow him to put you to death you will live. With many, the planting into the death of the Savior is only a theory. You only understand his death as you enter into it in reality. The apostle Paul said, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me” (Galatians 2:20). Anyone who has really seen Calvary is lost to the world. You must get rid of sin and limitations: the death must be actual. The law will not be satisfied with theory. It is when you die to the law of sin and death that you are free (Romans 8:2). After you are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the death of the Savior you then walk in newness of life. Some people live in the forgiveness of sin. Just as interest can be paid out of capital, some people do this spiritually. If you reckon yourself dead to sin you have no right to live in it. The only proof of the Holy Spirit is the life of the Holy Spirit. Leave “the old man” on the Cross and rise with the Savior to a new life.

Statement of Faith

The purpose of Zerubbabel Press is to further the great high calling of the Lord Jesus to carry His Gospel to the whole world. This calling is known in the Christian world as the Great Commission. Our interpretation of the Gospel is that Jesus Christ was the second member of the Trinity, fully God, made manifest in the flesh. He was tempted in all points as we are, but totally without sin. He was crucified for the sins of the world, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He gives the power to become the sons of God to all who receive Him.
