THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 139.

Ephesians 1:19-23 (KJV) And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Acts 2:33-34; 5:31; 7:55-56; 8:34; Ephesians 1:20; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 1:3; 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; 1Peter 3:22; Revelation 1:20;

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.

147. The right hand of God in heaven is the place and position reserved only for the first born son. Jesus is the first begotten son of God, first begotten son of God from the dead, the firstborn of all creation and the first fruit of God. In Christ Jesus every believer is a first born son of God, first begotten son of God, first begotten from the dead, firstborn of all creation and the firstfruit of God. Everyone that will be saved between the resurrection of Jesus and the rapture of the Church are call firstborn sons of God, first begotten sons of God, first begotten sons of God from the dead and firstfruit of God.

All those that shall be saved after the rapture of the Church shall be the fullness of the harvest after the firstfruit. Remember that the full harvest is always far greater than the firstfruit. Here are some of them in Revelation 20:4-6 (KJV) "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."

Only those that are saved between the resurrection of Jesus and the rapture are called the church and the body of Christ. Only they shall rule and reign with Christ as kings and priests for ever. They are a special spiritual nation just as Israel was a special natural nation of God. Indeed in the millennial reign of Christ and His church, there shall be other nations on earth and even thereafter there shall nations but only the church as the firstborn sons who are sitted at the right hand of God have the right, privilege and power to rule and reign with Christ forever. Notice in Revelation 20:4-6 that these that were saved after the rapture or during the great tribulation they shall reign with Christ only as priests and for only a thousand years. But the church are both kings and priests and shall reign with Christ forever. Romans 8:23,29; 11:16; Colossians 1:15,18; Hebrews 12:23; 1Corinthians 15:20,23; James 1:18; Ezekiel 48:14; Revelation 5:10; 11:15; 22:5; 2Timothy 2:12; 1Peter 2:9; Ephesians 2:19;

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.
