THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 118.

Ephesians 5:23-25, 30-32 (KJV) For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;.... For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Genesis 2:23-24; Ephesians 1:3; 3:1-11; 5:21-32; Romans 7:2-4; 1Corinthians 11:3-12; 12:12-28;

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.

126. The nineth blessings and benefits of the resurrection of Jesus is the REPOSITIONING OF THE CHURCH BY MARRIAGE TO CHRIST. When a woman marries a man her position changes. When a woman marries a king her status and position in life and in the society changes. Also when a woman marries a man her citizenship changes to that of the man, her name and her identity changes. These are some of the things that happened to every believer when Jesus rose from the dead. The first Adam and his wife Eve male and female were made together. So also the marriage or the relationships between Christ and the Church also started together when Jesus the new Adam was begotten from the dead at the resurrection.

One of the great irreversible blessings of the resurrection of Jesus is the blessing of eternal marital union between Christ and His Church. The natural marriage which began with the first Adam and the first creation was only a type and a shadow of the spiritual marriage of Christ and the Church. The bible says Ephesians 5:31-32 (KJV) "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."

Marriage is a mystery or a divine secret. God created marriage far beyond the natural interpretation and understanding of marriage. Marriage is part of the mystery of the resurrection, the mystery of the gospel and the mystery of the new testament. It is one of those mysteries the bible says if the devil knew or understood he would not have crucified Jesus. In marriage is hidden the secret of the destiny of man. In the natural marriage it is one man one wife but in spiritual marriage it is one man one body with the body made up of many innumerable members. Genesis 1:26-27; 2:18-25; 1Corinthians 2:7-8; 12:12-28; 15:45-49; Romans 12:3-8; 16:25; Colossians 1:26-27; 3:1-4; Ephesians 1:19-23; 2:4-6; 3:9; Acts 13:33; John 3:16-18; Hebrews 1:5-6; Revelation 1:5;

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. Judgement Day is coming. 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.
