THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 107.

Philippians 2:5-11 (KJV) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 1:4-7,13-14; 2:5-9,14-15; Ephesians 1:17-23; 2:4-6; Colossians 1:13-20; John 3:16; 14:14; 1Corinthians 15:20-22,45-49; Luke 10:19; Romans 5:12; 8:29-39; Psalm 8:4-6; Genesis 1:26,28; 3:1-24; Acts 1:1-11; Isaiah 14:12-15

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.

115. Not only did God decide to save man, God also decided to promote and elevate man in Christ Jesus far above the angels and use him to judge and destroy Satan the devil and all the enemies of God. This elevation and promotion of man was not in isolation or arbitrarily but God did it in Christ Jesus. That is why Jesus came as a man. Therefore only mankind who identify themselves with Christ in the new creation receive this repositioning. All men who fail to identify with Christ by faith will end up in hell and eternal damnation with the devil, the fallen angels and all evil spirits where they will forever be slaves and captives of the devil.

Jesus came as a man to facilitate God's plan for man and destruction of the devil and all the enemies of God. Being a man it was possible for Jesus to stand in a representative capacity and share his life with all mankind. By faith all who believe died with Him for our sins, we were also buried with Him, we were raised from the dead together with Him and we ascended with Him in to heaven where He was rewarded and honoured and given a name that is far above every other name in heaven, earth and underneath the earth in this present world and that which is to come.

The resurrected Jesus also became the first begotten son of God from the dead and the first fruits from the dead. As the first begotten son of God together with Christ all believers are positioned at the right hand of authority of God far above Satan, the fallen angels, all principalities and powers and all creation. Man in Christ Jesus is now sharing the throne of God, the name of God, the nature of God and the power of God. And at the return of Jesus or the second coming of Jesus, we all shall return with Jesus to judge the world, the angels, the Anti Christ and the devil. Not only was man repositioned above the angels but man has now been given power to judge angels. 1Corinthians 2:15; 6:2-3; 15:20,23; Hebrews 1:5-6; 2:14; Philippians 2:5-11; Revelation 1:5; 3:21; Hebrews 12:2; 1Thessalonians 3:13; 1Peter 4:13; 2Thesssalonians 2:8; Jude 14-15; Matthew 19:28; Ephesians 1:19-23; Luke 10:19; Romans 8:23; Colossians 2:12;

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.
