THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 128.

1John 3:2 (KJV) "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
John 1:12-13; Romans 4:13-14; 8:14-17; Galatians 3:26-29; 4:1-7; Ephesians 2:4-6,19; 3:6; Colossians 1:15-17; Hebrews 1:2-3; Titus 3:7; Genesis 1:28; 5:1-3;

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.

136. All men having died and risen from the dead with Him, whoever and whatever Jesus became after His resurrection is who and what we all became. When Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into heaven the Father conferred on Him a new kind of sonship. He was anointed with the oil of gladness and declared to be the first begotten son of God from the dead. He along with us in Him became the first begotten sons of God from the dead. Adam the first man was not begotten but was created from the dust of the earth. By our dying with Christ and being raised from the dead together with Him we became one with Him.

Since Christ is a son we also became sons of God. Before this time it mostly angels that were called sons of God. Men was called servants of God or children of God as was the case with Israel. Even though angels and men were called sons of God, servants of God or children of God in the old testament, but the major difference with the new testament sons is that the new testament sons are begotten of God. No where in the scriptures was any one or group of people called begotten sons of God. To be called a son makes the person equal with God.

To be called son of God means it was God who gave birth to you. And if God gave birth to you, it means you are carrying all His exact DNA as God otherwise called His image and likeness. This was the reason the Jews were very angry with Jesus when He was calling God my father. But that is the simple truth. In Christ Jesus we are the sons of God carrying His fullness and complete in Him.

When people see Christ they have seen God, when people see us they have seen Christ who is the express image of the invisible God. Adam and the angels look like God only in external features and attributes but only the new testament sons of God are like God spirit, soul and body. We have the Spirit of Jesus, we have the mind of Christ and we are the temple of God. 2Corinthians 5:14-15; John 1:12-13,16; 3:16; 5:18-21; 14:6-14; Romans 4:24-25; 6:3-8; Hebrews 1:1-14; Ephesians 1:4-6,19-23; 2:4-6; 4:4-6; Colossians 1:15; 2:9-15; 3:1-4; Acts 13:33; 17:31; Luke 20:35-36; Matthew 6:9; 1Corinthians 2:16; 12:12-27; 6:13-20;

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.
