Behold the Lamb of God. Woe! Woe! Woe! The Lion out of the tribe of Judah is coming.Talking about beholding the Lamb of God, John the Baptist was at Bethabara, beyond Jordan, preaching repentance and baptizing. The Bible said in John 1:29, "The next day John sees Jesus coming unto him and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."The Lion out of the tribe of Judah is coming, saying, "Woe! Woe! Woe!" It is written in Revelation 8:13, "And I beheld and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth."Woe means grief, anguish, or afflictions. I learned that a lion roars when it is full. Well, the Lion out of the tribe of Judah is full of sins, abominations, and wickedness possessing the land. The Lion out of the tribe of Judah is coming, and he is roaring.

When the righteous cry, the Lord hears, and their prayers avail much.The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. (James 5:16)When we want our prayers to avail much before God, we have got to let the powers of the precious blood of the Lamb wash away our sins. Sometimes in our walk with God, we just might have a fall, but that is not going to cause God to cast us down. David said in Psalm 37:24, "Though he fall he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholds him with his hand." David said that because one day he had a fall, and he tried to hide or cover his sins. But he learned that it was not going to work. So David concluded, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me" (Psalm 66:18).On September 25, 1975, I came to Jesus. I was wearied, wounded, and sad, feeling that at any given time, I was going to lose my mind. I got down on my knees in the bathroom in front of the commode, and with a godly sorrow in my heart, I pleaded for forgiveness for my sins. The powers of the precious blood of the Lamb covered my multitude of sins. God told me, "Get up. Go preach my word. Let the world know when the righteous cry, the Lord hears, and their prayers avail much."

The Ministry of Reconciliation is something God gave unto me before I entered into the ministry. In my getting alone with God, fasting and praying, and shutting in at Sister Linnie Gunn''s beauty shop between 1979 and 1980, I heard the Lord say: I have given unto you the Ministry of Reconciliation. I entered into the ministry in August 1981. I evangelized from 1981 until 1998, when God called me into pastoring. The Ministry of Reconciliation, along with the prophetic ministry, has greatly been in operation in my life and through me. Glory be to God. I have seen the hearts of so many reconciled back unto God, and the harvest is about to become greater than ever before. Almost thirty-five years have been added on to my life since the beginning of my ministry, but I''m about to enter into the harvest that has been sown. I overcame by the blood of the Lamb.Christine was married to Melvin Peebles. Together, they have two sons, Kelvin and Titus, who Christine loves more than she can express. They have blessed her with four grandchildren - Christopher, Kelisha, Kaniya, and Kortney.

Talking about the Powers of the Precious Blood of the Lamb, Peter said,Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot. (1 Peter 1:18-19)I suffered through many pains and heartaches, which if Apostle Paul would have been around, he would have told me that they were light afflictions and that they were only for a moment. All the pains, heartaches, griefs, and sorrows, I didn't have to bear nor carry those things. Jesus told me in his word that he was going to make my yoke easy and my burdens light. The Prophet Isaiah said, "Surely, he hath born our griefs, and carried our sorrows" (Isaiah 53:4).Thanks be unto God for The Powers of the Precious Blood of the Lamb, the slain lamb of God whose blood has blotted out all our transgressions and has caused our debt to sin to be paid in full.

It Is Time to Reap My Harvest that has been Sown in Tears "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy" Psalms 126:5. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" Psalms 30:5. In this life of mine, I have done a whole lot of crying, but at the same time, that old man was dying (the Adam nature).Before the death of Jesus, he suffered through a whole lot of things for our sake. The Bible said that he was wounded, he was bruised, he was despised, and he was rejected, and then he was crucified. The Bible tells me in 1 Peter 4:1: I got to arm myself likewise and suffer. There is consolation in knowing that God is going to deliver me out of all my afflictions.Trials brings forth pain and pain bring forth weeping and tears, and in the midst of my weeping and crying, I heard the Lord say, "Don't miss your harvest that has been sown in tears". My first book, "I Overcame by the Blood of the Lamb", in my writing, I was in pain and did a lot of crying: old wounds were opened. The second book I wrote, God had me to title it, "The Costly Anointing". God said, what you have suffered through is what has caused my anointing to be upon and within your life, and that is very costly: it is called The Costly Anointing. God said, you have suffered through a lot, and now it is time to reap your harvest that has been sown in tears. My consolation is in Revelation 21:4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

" Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13)-that is exactly what Jesus done for us. Jesus gave his life to pay the debt that we owed and could not pay, and he paid the debt that he did not owe, which was our debt to sin. Now that is costly.One Sunday while preaching, I heard God say, "Look to your left." I did, and there was some writing on the wall that said, "Your debt to sin has been paid in full: it was written in blood." I stopped, and I screamed. I read to the congregation what was written on the wall. Some tried seeing it, but they couldn't-they had to receive the vision that God had given unto me. The blood of Jesus paying our debt to sin is the costly anointing.Jesus made himself a curse to redeem us from the curse of the law. Jesus bore our sins in his body as he hanged on the cross; he bore our griefs and carried our sorrows. The writer of Hebrews said, "For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities." That is costly.After writing my book, I Overcame by the Blood of the Lamb, I heard God say, "You obtained my anointing by the things that I suffered you to go through. I want you to title this book The Costly Anointing." There is nothing that can compensate for the shedding of Jesus's blood.
