THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 20.

Romans 6:6, 11-12, 14 (KJV) 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 8:1-2 (KJV) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.., Rom 8:1-13
2Corinthians 5:15-17; Romans 6:3-5; 8:11; 1Corinthians 2:7-8; 15:12-23; Hebrews 11:35;

Today we continue a new series of study titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

26. Under the sin nature you have no power over sin, sicknesses, diseases, poverty, the devil, evils spirits and death. You have no power over them until you change your nature to the divine nature and make up your mind to walk in your new nature. Thank God for the resurrection of Jesus that has not only given us the divine nature but has also given us power over sin, the sin nature and the devil. The power and authority of the devil over man is only in the sin nature and the flesh.

The devil has no power over a living spirit. Not only was your spirit recreated at the new birth but you also received a new nature called the divine nature. The bible says in John 1:12-13 (KJV) "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

But remember that the sin nature still resides in your flesh. And it will do everything possible to fight and resist the dominion of your spirit, by using sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, death and the works of the flesh. The bible says in Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God". Your flesh is still a door for the devil into your life if walk in the flesh. All these sins are the door through which the devil uses to enforce the curse of the law - sickness, poverty and death into people's lives.

Romans 6:6 (KJV) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Never allow your old man called the flesh or your body to dominate you. You are the head over your body just as Christ is head over His body the church and the husband is head over his body the wife. As Christ is Lord over His body so we must be lord over our body and flesh. The body never rules over the head. Sin is allowing the body to rule over the head. Your spirit is the head of your life. Let your spirit rule your life through the knowledge and confession of the word.

You do not need to confess any sin to be forgiven of the sin nature but to change your nature by confessing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Confession of Jesus as Lord and Saviour is an open rejection of the sin nature and acceptance of a new nature of righteousness in Christ Jesus. You do not need to confess any sin to be saved because it is not the sins of omission or commission that made you a sinner and candidate of hell but the sin nature. No one in the sin nature can have the resurrected body of Christ which is the type of flesh, it is only for the new heaven and new earth. Colossians 3:3-4; John 3:3; Romans 5:12-14,19; 2Peter 1:9; Romans 8:11,14; 1Corinthians 15:50-54.

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 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 thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou 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 from all the powers of the devil. 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.

Grace be with you.
