THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 57.

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.

65. When Jesus took on Himself all our sins on the cross and became sin, He died spiritually and was separated from the Father. Remember spiritual death is a result of sin. It was when Jesus died spiritually that He cried out on the cross 'My God my God why has thou forsaken me'. This cry was because for the first time in His life the manifest presence of God was separated from Him. Notice he cried my God not my Father. The presence of the Father was always with Him as a son but not the manifest presence. It is the kind of feeling a backslidden Christian goes through or one who has grieved the Holy Spirit in him due to sin. It is a feeling of emptiness, lost and will make you very uncomfortable.

I remember when this happened to me a few years ago when I went into prayer and fasting complaining to God concerning my marriage. Due to pressure from people I went into this fast to seek the face of God. Immediately I started the fast it was as if something left me and I lost my peace. No one told me to stop the fast and repent. It was not that the Father or God who abandoned Jesus or turned His back on Him as some have taught. That is not the nature of God towards His children for He will never leave you nor abandon you. Adam who was a type of Jesus, when he and Eve sinned God did not abandon them rather they abandoned God because of sin and went into hiding. Even in the midst of their sin God came looking for them.

It is sin that separates man from God it is not God that separates Himself from any one. Nothing can separate God from you, you are the only one that will separate yourself from God because of sin or it is sin that will separate you from God. God could not have abandoned Jesus because it was not His sin, in fact as the lamb of God it was God who put the sin of the world on Him. Remember Jesus was the lamb of God. It was God who was making the sacrifice it was not just Jesus who was sacrificing himself. God could not have abandoned His sacrifice. The bible says God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. And John 3:16 (KJV) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Matthew 27:43-53; 2Corinthians 5:19-21; Genesis 3:1-24; Hebrews 13:5; Ephesians 4:30; John 1:29;

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.
