THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 78.

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; Philippians 1:20-23; 2Timothy 1:10; 1Corinthians 15:51-57; Hebrews 2:14-15; Acts 2:24-35; 3:26; 4:10; 13:28-39; 17:30-31; Revelation 1:17-18; 20:1-15;

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.

86. No one had ever gone to the hell, Hades or the lower parts of the earth and come out alive. But Jesus in battle for the salvation of all men over death went there and resurrected in show of victory and authority. By resurrecting from hell, Hades and the lower parts of the earth, Jesus took over the power and authority of these spiritual prison houses releasing all who were in Hades or Abraham's bossom. On the other hand He announced to all those who were in hell and the fallen angels that their judgement and damnation was near and inevitable and that He was going to do it Himself. By this victory of Jesus, death, failure and destruction no more has power over you and cannot prevail over you.

Death, failure and destruction is no longer final in any area of your life because there is hope for that situation as a result of the resurrection power in the name of Jesus. Jesus now has the keys or authority of death and hell. They are no longer in the hand of the devil and sin. In Christ Jesus the wages of sin is no longer death but the free gift of mercy and grace unto eternal life. The soul that sinneth does not have to die as was the case in the old testament whether physical or eternal death. If the sinner comes to Jesus all his sins are forgiven as if he had never sinned. Sin, death and hell no more has power or rights over man to demand their life or judge them.

All judgements have been committed to Jesus. In His name even the worst of sinners can be saved. Hence as man and as believers we have no rights or authority to judge any man unto sin, death or hell. Rather we are here to announce to all men the free gift of eternal life to all. The resurrection of Jesus has abolished the law of sin and death and has offered to all men the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. The choice of sin, hell and death is now in the hand of man no more in the hand of the devil and sin. We are to ever in love encourage all to choose the free gift of eternal life.

By the victory of Jesus the choice of when to die is now in the hand of the believer and all men. Since we are the ones to decide when we are to die or sleep, we must realise that as the bible says they that sleep, sleep at night. There is the morning time of life, the afternoon time of life, the evening time of life and the night time of life. The night time is the end of the day or the end of life. Jesus said we must work while it is day for the night comes when no man can work. So as believers we are not permitted to go to sleep or die before night time because that will be premature or untimely death. That is not the will of God for us. 2Timothy 1:10; 1Thessalonians 5:4-8; John 1:12-13; 5:21-22; 9:4; 11:25-26; Romans 6:23; 8:1-2; Revelation 1:17-18; Colossians 2:15; Ephesians 1:19-23; 6:12; Matthew 16:18; Philippians 1:20-23; 1Corinthians 11:30; 15:6,18,51; Ezekiel 18:4; Psalm 91:16;

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.
