THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 53.

Genesis 2:17 (KJV) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
2Timothy 1:10 (KJV) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
John 10:10; Hebrews 2:14-15; Revelation 1:18; Philippians 1:20-23; 1Corinthians 15:54-57

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.

61. There are three kinds of death that Jesus came to destroy in His resurrection from the dead. They are Spiritual Death, Physical Death, and the Second Death. Death is separation from God and that separation can be temporary or permanent, spiritual separation or physical separation or eternal separation.
SPIRITUAL DEATH is separation from God due to sin. God is a holy and righteous, he does not dwell and cannot dwell where there is sin and unrighteousness neither can He have fellowship with sin and unrighteousness. Spiritual Death is the first level of death. When Lucifer and the angels sinned they immediately became spiritually dead. When the devil deceived man and He sinned man also immediately became spiritually dead. Spiritual Death comes mainly from the sin of disobedience and rebellion against the word of God and His authority. God told man in Genesis 2:16-17 (KJV) "And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

A spiritually dead being may still be physically alive or spiritually active but He is separated from the abundant life and blessings of God. Man may be spiritually dead but he is still physically alive. Lucifer and all evil spirits may be spiritually dead but they are still spiritually active on earth. Spiritual Death is a temporary separation from God awaiting divine judgement. For man, being temporary means he still has a chance of redemption, repentance and salvation from permanent death. Which was what Jesus came to facilitate for all men. But for the devil and all evil spirits it is only temporary awaiting divine judgement because there is no redemption, repentance or salvation for spiritually dead spirits. There is no repentance in the spirit or for spirits because they do not dwell in the realm of time and space and they do not act according to time or space. Spirits know past, present and future so when they sin there can be no redemption because their sin was willful not a matter deception or ignorance as was the case of man.

When one is spiritually dead, death and the power of death is at work in such a person continually and everything the person does leads him more and more closer to either to physical death and or eternal death. Death and the power of death is at work in the life and body of all men to take them as quickly as possible unto physical death and if they are not saved, unto eternal death. So also death is at work in all devils to continue to do evil unto eternal death. Where death is at work sin also at work. Without sin there can be no death. So technically speaking to be in sin or to be a sinner is to be spiritually death. A believer who is living in sin is said to be spiritually asleep not dead. A believer is not a sinner and can never be called a sinner. A sinner is one who is spiritually dead or whose spirit is dead. A sinner is one by birth and nature just as the spiritually dead. Genesis 2:17; 3:1-24; 5:1-31; Romans 3:23-26; 5:12-21; 6:23; Isaiah 14:12-14; Hebrews 2:14-16;

The bottom line of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the resurrection of Jesus has done for you and has made you. And no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the resurrection power which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

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 of your body 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 you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you 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. 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.
