: RISEN CHRIST – POWER of RESURRECTION (2)
John 11: 25 (AMP)
JESUS said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in,
relies on) ME [as Savior] will live even if he dies.”
GOD's Resurrection Power in the Risen CHRIST is the basis of True Christians’ Faith and Hope.
Galatians 4: 6 – 7
And because you are sons, GOD has sent forth the SPIRIT of HIS Son into your hearts, crying out,
“Abba, FATHER !”
Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of GOD through CHRIST.
SPIRIT of CHRIST in us – Strong sense of Unity In Tune with GOD's Heart and Will in our spirit.
1 Corinthians 6: 19 – 20
Or do you not know that your body is the Temple of the HOLY SPIRIT Who is in you,
Whom you have from GOD, and you are not your own ?
For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify GOD in your body and in your spirit, which are GOD’s.
We carry HIS Presence as the Temple of the HOLY SPIRIT.
In the account of Creation, in Genesis,
~ Every creature was created according to its kind.
~ Reference Genesis 1: 11 – 12, 24 – 25.
Only Man was Created in the Image and Likeness of GOD –
To Represent HIM and to Serve HIS Purpose.
Genesis 1: 26
Then GOD said, “Let Us make man in Our Image, according to Our Likeness;
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle,
over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
When Adam and Eve were deceived and believed the serpent, they died spiritually.
Genesis 2: 16 – 17
And the LORD GOD commanded the man, saying,
“Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall
not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Biblical death is spiritual death, falling away from the Life of GOD – living in the Natural Life.
John 3: 6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the SPIRIT is Spirit.
When we Repent of our own ways and Turn to CHRIST for HIS Life, we are Born Again of HIS Spirit.
Romans 8: 11
But if the SPIRIT of HIM Who raised JESUS from the dead dwells in you, HE Who raised CHRIST
from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through HIS SPIRIT Who dwells in you.
2 Corinthians 5: 17
Therefore, if anyone is in CHRIST, he is a new creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new.
~ We now have the Capacity to live in a way that Glorifies HIM – with HIS RESURRECTION Power.
~ From Genesis to New Testament – satan wants to kill Life that is for GOD's Purpose.
Exodus 1: 16b
And he said, "... if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”
Biblically, Male life Represents Life that is for GOD's Purpose.
1 Corinthians 11: 7
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of GOD;
but woman is the glory of man.
Reference Matthew 2: 16,
Herod was set to put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts,
from two years old and under.
~ The Female life, especially among the fallen people, represents life that is for men's pleasure.
~ Satan’s strategy is to destroy the Life that is for GOD's Purpose and preserve life of pleasure,
desire and lust.
婪 – Chinese word for desire, lust, covet.
林 (trees) stands a 女 (woman).
Genesis 3: 6
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes,
and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate.
She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
We are to be spiritually wise.
Matthew 24: 12
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
Only Born Again Christians have the Love of GOD.
What made their Love grow cold?
~ Deception
Matthew 24: 4
And JESUS answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one DECEIVES you.”
2 Thessalonians 2: 10
And with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the
love of The Truth, that they might be saved.
Lovers of self...
2 Timothy 3: 2
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.
2 Timothy 3: 4
Traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of GOD.
Have no love for the Truth.
Remedies : - Spiritual Breakthrough.
Genesis 2: 7
And the LORD GOD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living being.
The Breath of Life became the spirit of man, to Represent and to Express HIM.
Job 32: 8 AMP
“But there is [a vital force and] a spirit [of intelligence] in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them
understanding.”
Reference Genesis 1: 18 – 19.
~ Adam named all the creatures.
John 6: 56 – 57
He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood abides in Me, and I in him.
As the Living FATHER sent Me, and I live because of the FATHER, so
he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
ALL of Life becomes Worship unto GOD – From the very basic thing of eating and drinking,
to your family life, career, ministry.
1 Corinthians 10: 31
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the Glory of GOD.
1 Corinthians 10: 33
Just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many,
that they may be saved.
It is never a private affair > but GOD's Life > Profits others.
1 Corinthians 6: 12 (MSG)
Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean that it’s spiritually appropriate.
If I went around doing whatever I thought I could get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims.
1 Corinthians 6: 12 (AMP)
Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial.
Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything
[and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].
Fellowship in the Unity of Faith in the HOLY SPIRIT.
Ephesians 4 : 1
I, therefore, the prisoner of the LORD, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which
you were called.
Ephesians 4: 3
Endeavoring to keep the unity of the SPIRIT in the bond of peace.
Apostle Paul – in his life or by his death, he Glorified GOD.
Philippians 1: 20
According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness,
as always, so now also CHRIST will be Magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
