THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 40.

Genesis 2:17 (KJV) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Romans 5:12 (KJV) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Psalm 107:20; 1Peter 2:24; John 10:10; Acts 10:38; Romans 8:1-2; Galatians 3:13-14;

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.

48. THERE IS SICKNESS BECAUSE THERE IS DEATH: When man sinned he invited death into his life. All human beings from Adam are born spiritually dead. To be spiritually dead is to be separated from God who is the Father of spirit and life. Where there is life there is no sickness. Sickness and diseases is a result of man's separation from the life of God. Sickness and disease is the devil enforcing the law of sin and death and the wages of sin which is death.

When Adam sinned he and all men died spiritually awaiting physical death. Because man is spiritually dead, the devil wants him to die physically also. When man sinned the devil thought man would have died spiritually, physically and eternally at the same time. But when he found out that God in His wisdom delayed and did not immediately enforce the law of sin and death, the devil had to resort to other means of enforcing at least physical death. When a sinner dies physically he is doomed eternally.

God in His love, mercy and eternal plan differed and prevented immediate physical death of man because He had a plan of redemption. Instead God allowed a gradual physical death through the degeneration of the human body. Sicknesses is a faster and quicker deterioration of the human body instead of the natural degeneration with time and age. Sickness is one of the quickest ways the devil wants to enforce total death of man without redemption and repentance.

To permit sickness and diseases in your life is to permit death. Sickness is a gradual or installmental payment of the wages of sin which is death. Sickness is a gradual but quicker way of destroying the human body. The devil does not have the authority to terminate any man's life on earth but he wants to achieve that by the destruction of the human body through sickness and diseases. Your body is your house on earth, once the body dies life on earth is terminated.

Knowing that the body of man is what keeps and sustains everyman here on earth, the devil through sickness is seeking ways to destroy the body of man. Also, knowing that the life of the flesh or body is in the blood, the devil ensures that all sicknesses and diseases are rooted in the blood in order to take away the life of man as quickly as possible before he repents and receives forgiveness from God knowing that God is loving and merciful towards man. Hebrews 2:14-15; 2Timothy 1:10; Romans 8:1-13; Psalm 145:8-9; Ephesians 2:4

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. 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.
