The Promise of Resurrection

Scripture reading: John 6:38-40

The promise of resurrection is an insurance policy to the believer. In this promise, Jesus tells us when He will raise us up: “…at the last day” – repeated over and over in chapter 6 of the gospel of John.

“Thine, O LORD is the greatness and the power and the glory…” (I Chronicles 29:11), and He has given it to us so that we can preach the gospel. Believe in Him, and the power of God is yours in Christ Jesus. This power is the RESURRECTION, and it is going to resurrect the whole realm in which we live. Everything around you will be resurrected by the LIFE of Christ that is in you. Many people believe that Jesus Christ is going to return to the earth to fight the devil, and to do this and to do that, but He is not going to do anything. He has already done it! He said, “It is finished.” He went to Calvary and completed our redemption. He finished His work giving us the tools and setting the stage for the total overthrow and eradication of evil from our realm.

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus had a great battle within Himself, “…Let this cup pass from me.” As the Christ (Messiah), He wanted to finish the job (to overthrow the devil, then and there). As the Lamb, He wanted to see the blood shed. “Nevertheless, not my will but thine be done.” God’s will was done.

Christ is life, and the life is contrary to death. If you let loose life, it will destroy death, and that is what we call resurrection. In the garden, Jesus had to hold back the life that was in Him. It was a terrible battle. Can you imagine having the power to set creation free and having to hold back for two thousand years? God said, “NO,” because there was a body to come forth, which would receive the resurrection life and follow the footsteps of Jesus.

The issue of sin does not even enter in. This life of Christ will destroy the sin in us. Sin cannot overcome the LIFE!

“…Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).

Nothing can remove us. Let us dwell upon this until we realize how glorious and how wonderful it is.

The LIFE of God in us is a resurrection power and when it breaks loose in heaven, “…the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14). This resurrection will bring life to everything on earth. The trees will live forever, the animals will live forever, men will live forever – because death will be abolished.

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of LIFE… and on either side of the river, was there the tree of LIFE…” (Revelation 22:1-2).

It is so sweet to think of, that we possess God until God possesses us. Thank you, Jesus!

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, June 1996, pg. 5, 16-17)

Thought for today: Don’t let the devil lie to you that you are too weak, that you can’t do anything about your condition or situation. Let loose life in your soul and it will destroy death. That is what we call resurrection.

Scripture reading: Hebrews 9:22-26

The Blood of Jesus Christ is an INEXHAUSTIBLE SOURCE of energy and resurrection power which lies at the door of our faith for immediate use any time of day or night, no matter what condition we are in. If you can believe, all things are possible to you. The reader is expected to understand that God is a Spirit and cannot have natural blood, therefore the ENERGY OF GOD’S LIFE which was incorporated in the human veins of Jesus brought to the earth a new concept of man being incorporated with God and His power. The man Jesus, therefore, became the divine transporter and the connecting link between Heaven and Earth as shown in the following scripture: “Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us” (Luke 1:78).

He who visited us in the person and body of Jesus Christ was the very SOURCE OF LIFE, the immortal, the eternal and invisible Almighty God.

The principle underlying blood is that the blood of one being could pay for the sins of another. Hebrews 9:22 states that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. The blood of the animal was shed for the sins of the people, but it never stopped the people from sinning again. This law, therefore, was God’s provision for an easement to humanity until the Blood of Christ should be shed to take away not only the sin and its penalty, BUT THE DESIRE TO SIN.

For this purpose, the high priest would take the blood of the sin offering into the Holiest of All once every year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). He would make an offering for himself and then for the people. This symbolized THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST who is the Anointed One entering into the HIGHEST HEAVEN before the presence of God, the Judge, with the Blood of the LAMB, Jesus. First, God would judge Jesus to be sinless, then accept the offering of His body and soul for us, and then humanity was set free.

Even as the high priest would return from the Holy of Holies to the Outer Court, where all the people were waiting, with the good news of their deliverance, so the SPIRIT OF CHRIST brought back Jesus from the grave giving us the good news of our salvation. The scripture clearly states this in Hebrews 9:22-26.

The Blood of Calvary is a historic fact: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water (John 19:34). The natural Blood of Jesus Christ was shed and drained from his body to the earth, thus fulfilling absolutely the role of the Passover Lamb – without spot or blemish, not a bone broken.

One may ask, “Why did it have to be?” The answer is this: By man came death to the human race and, therefore, every child born of Adam was born subject to the law of sin and death. Because sin was inherent (every man bringing forth after his kind), then it was necessary for the work to be done on the inside of man – in his innermost being or soul. The same law which allowed sin to reach into the soul of man by submitting to its dictates also allowed righteousness (the nature of God) to reach to our soul by submitting to it.

When we fell, we lost THE LIFE GIVING FORCE OR ENERGY of God. The power to have dominion over all things and to rule nature and our own destiny was lost and our enemy, the devil, became proportionately strong because of it. THEREFORE, WHAT WE NEEDED WAS LIFE – and this is what God sent in the veins of Jesus Christ to us.

(Excerpt from The Power of the Blood, pg. 6-10)

Thought for today: Remember that the Blood of Jesus Christ is an INEXHAUSTIBLE SOURCE of energy and resurrection power which lies at the door of your faith for immediate use any time of day or night, no matter what condition you are in. If you can believe, all things are possible to you.
