THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 24.

Romans 6:6, 11-12, 14 (KJV) 6 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. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 8:1-2 (KJV) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.., Rom 8:1-13
2Corinthians 5:15-17; Romans 6:3-5; 8:11; 1Corinthians 2:7-8; 15:12-23; Hebrews 11:35;

Today we continue our study series titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

30. SINS OF COMMISSION:
1John 1:7-10 (KJV) "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Sins of commission are sins committed consciously, knowingly and intentionally with your conscience bearing witness that you are sinning. They are the very common sins from the every day temptations of the devil and the lusts of our flesh. Sins of commission are sins of obvious disobedience to the word of God, disobedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit and rebellion to any given authority including the authority of your spirit to rule over all your decisions.

They are sins mostly committed against our neighbours due to lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. They are all called the works of the flesh. Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have alsmo told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God".
When you commit sins of commission you know immediately because your conscience bears you witness that you have sinned. Your conscience is the voice of your spirit.

The sins of Commission must be confessed in order to receive forgiveness. Confession is acknowledging your sins and agreeing with God that you have sinned. Refusal to confess sins of commission leads to indulgence, habitual sinning and searing of your conscience. These could lead to sickness, poverty, failure, oppression of the devil, and untimely death. Sins of commission will break your fellowship with God not your relationship with God. For example in the story of the prodigal son In Luke 15:11-32, while he was living in sin, even though he had lost fellowship with the father, he was still the son of the father.

Also the elder brother who fell into sin because of the return of his brother did not loose relationship with the father even though he had sepaerated himself. We must understand that God is love. God never separates from sinners, it is sinners who separate themselves from fellowship with God. Jesus had more fellowship with sinners than those who claimed to be righteous. Jesus came to show us the heart of God towards the sin. In the coming of Jesus it was not man that was seeking reconciliation with God it was God coming to man. Genesis 3:1-13; John 3:16; 8:9; 1John 2:15-17; Romans 2:15; 5:8; 9:1; 13:5-10; 1Timothy 4:2; Acts 23:1; 24:16; 1Corinthians 8:10-12; 10:25-29;

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation from all the powers of the devil. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you.

Grace be with you.
