THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 70.

1Corinthians 15:24-26 (KJV) "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
Revelation 20:13-15 (KJV) "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
John 5:21-29; 6:39-58; 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.

78. When a believer dies now, he is reunited immediately with Christ. The difference is that those who are reuniting now will have no resurrected body until the rapture. The rapture is the complete reunification of the Christ and His body one spirit, one soul, one body and one life. As a result the rapture is not counted as a resurrection because we have already been resurrected with Christ. The resurrection of great tribulation saints is called the first resurrection because it happens after the rapture. Being outside the rapture the great tribulation saints are not part of the body of Christ. Please note that the Church are not the only saints. We have three saints in the bible, the old testament saints, the Church and the post rapture saints. Christ and the church are called the first fruit harvest meaning the full harvest shall follow after the rapture at His second coming.

The old testament saints were resurrected when Christ died on the cross and He took them up with Him but not in Him. When Christ was resurrected the Church was resurrected with Him and in Him. The post rapture saints shall be resurrected but not with Christ or in Christ but for Christ. They belong to Christ because they all died for the witness of Jesus and the word of God. Like the old testament saints they are not part of the church or the body of Christ. For our information uncountable millions or billions of people shall still be saved after the rapture.

The bible says in Revelation 6:9-11 (KJV) "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."

Revelation 7:9, 13-14 (KJV) "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;....And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." 1Corinthians 15:16-24; Matthew 27:50-53; Ephesians 1:19-23; 2:5-6; 4:8-10; Colossians 3:1-4; Revelation 20:4-6; Romans 8:23; 11:16;

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.
