Apostle BILLEY.
The Lord Jesus went to the cross so that we could all be set free. There are many benefits attached to the crucifixion of the Lord.
In the secular world, it is said that information is power. Whoever has the information is in control.
In the kingdom of God, what we call information is called Revelation. Revelation is in fact a person called Jesus. And this Revelation gives us Life and everything connected to Life.
That’s why we live by Christ.
Ephesians 1.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
So we need knowledge. And this knowledge is found in Ephesians 2:4-6.
Ephesians 2
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 He raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
God has loved us with a broad, unconditional love, and this love must be studied. For it is filled with the revelation of knowledge.
We were dead because of sin; We have all sinned millions of times: in thought, word, deed, decision, plan, behavior, desire, …
How could we be saved? How can someone who has died, whose sin is attached to his life, save himself? How can dry wood be revived? How can the lifeless return to life?
We couldn’t do it ourselves.
So we needed someone who had life, the source of life, abundant life, to be able to save us.
When we speak of the author of life, we mean God. That’s why only God can give life.
Anger, animosity, bitterness, selfishness, jealousy, envy, love of the world, immorality, idolatry…
These are clues/symptoms of death.
Those who practice voodoo, freemasonry, Illuminati, secret societies, occultism, …
Whatever clothes they wear, they are all dead to God.
That’s why a Christian shouldn’t envy the pagan or anyone else for material things. In fact, sometimes this material can even be a sign of his guilt, evidence of his death.
In Jesus, our spirit must be free.
The Christian must live freely without jealousy, envy or covetousness. All you have to want is to love God, to be with Him, to walk with the Lord.
That’s what God wants from us.
Whoever manages to maintain this standard of living is approved by heaven. And the earth can’t go against that person.
God has restored us to life through Christ. We are forgiven through the blood of Jesus. The old life is gone. And we become a new person.
Ephesians 2
6 He raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
“He” here is God the Father. In His mind, when Jesus was crucified, it was we who were crucified. Jesus was crucified for our sins.
God is just. He can’t justify a sinner like that.
What you sow is what you reap. So whoever sins must die.
But the Father loves us so much, that He asked Himself with the Son and the Holy Spirit: “How can we save man?”.
They decided that the Son had to come to earth to save us. And when He came, He had to leave all His Lordship in heaven and come as the Lamb of God. This was God’s program.
In heaven, Jesus is Spirit, the Father is Spirit and so is the Holy Spirit. But on earth, you have to have a body.
Then the Holy Spirit created a body in Mary’s womb and Jesus was able to come to earth.
However, on earth, there was a spirit called a spirit of destruction, of death. For Satan knows only how to steal, kill and destroy.
So God knew that when the Son came, Satan would do everything in his power to kill him.
According to the law, if you kill an innocent person, you’ll be in trouble with the law.
Someone who is condemned, crucified even though he is righteous. This is a legal problem.
But the innocent Christ was killed.
This legal problem has become universal because of the Lord’s dimension.
This had to be sorted out.
If Jesus had remained in the tomb, the affair would have been silent.
But unfortunately for the kingdom of darkness, Jesus has risen!
The universe, Satan, the kingdom of darkness… trembled because they thought it was all over for the One they had killed.
How to compensate Jesus? Which country, which king…?
It’s difficult because He has the nature of God. It’s become a really serious problem.
So they were all afraid.
So God the Father said, from this day on, all those who were supposed to die because of their sins, if they come to Jesus, will die no more, for Jesus has already died for them.
This is resurrection, this is life, this is deliverance!
That’s why it’s only the Christian who has power on earth, who can engage heaven, earth, waters…
For it is no longer he who lives; his sins, which made him weak, have been taken away. So he’s now in a position of authority, of strength.
All the forces of darkness put together: occultism, Satanism, witchcraft, secret societies, magic…all put together, can do nothing against Christ, nor against the body of Christ.
When they succeed in touching a Christian, it’s because he’s ignorant. This Christian has not invested knowledge in himself.
You’re in a strong position. Don’t let the enemy manipulate you.
There must be peace at home, you must pray, declare and it happens. Pray for your home, your children, they must be honored in the nation…
It’s not you who prays, but Jesus in you. It is no longer you who live, but Christ.
Your sins have been transferred to the Lamb of God, and now the life inside you has changed.
The devil sees Jesus when you pray.
And when you look at yourself, what do you see?
It has nothing to do with the body, but with the mind, the heart. What’s inside you has changed.
When the Word comes, perceive it in spirit and the spirit of the Word connects you to Christ.
When a woman is pregnant, the spirit comes first, then the child’s body begins to form.
Spirit, i.e. life, comes first. And it is Jesus who gives life.
Satan gloated, thinking he had killed Jesus forever. But Jesus has risen, and we too have risen together with Him.
Our resurrection in Jesus is not physical, but in spirit. We receive a new spirit.
So don’t consider the Christian life by looking at your body. Don’t look at yourself to pray, but look at the Word, the spirit. That’s how you’ll always win. And the enemy sees Jesus when you pray like that.
Consider this: There was a prime minister named Lumumba who was executed. Following his death, Mobutu, who was a sergeant at the time, became president.
If Lumumba is resurrected, what will happen in Mobutu’s camp?
Never fear again, He who is within you is a King.
He who dies and rises again will always be in a position of authority. For He is mysterious, He has conquered death, the powers of darkness, sorcerers…
It is written in Matthew 28.18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
The enemy has no peace when he sees you.
But he’ll always come to tempt you. For example, he’ll say to you: “Tomorrow, I’m going to kill you…”.
And when you’re afraid, the devil knows that you don’t actually know your master, your God. Then it will oppress you even more.
Brother, sister, from this Passover onwards, understand this revelation and you will always be victorious.
Even if you have a bad dream, don’t panic, use God’s power and authority within you. Wherever you go, Jesus is in you.
How is Jesus in you?
By His Word, which you have accepted within yourself.
Beloved, you are a new person, resurrected.
Romans 6
11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
There’s the new man and the old man.
The new man is forgiven, relieved of stress and free.
All you have to do is become aware of this and develop this new spiritual attitude, this mindset. You need to work on this way of living.
Colossians 3
8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.
These things are linked to the old man. But Jesus went to the cross to crucify that old man. The latter is filled with doubt, fear and anxiety, and is easily manipulated.
You must therefore deprive him of food so that he dies.
How do you feed the old man? You feed it with anger, jealousy, oppression, depression, lies, sadness, …
So every time you let these things into you, you’re feeding it.
Colossians 3
9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,
10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,
Beloved, the new man has faith, he is in the blood of the Lamb, filled with love…
In our homes, we have to be kind, let’s look for the good things. And if you’re a wife, you must respect your husband, be filled with love, be a woman of prayer. And if you’re a husband, you have to give up your bad temper, develop a prayer life, be filled with love and joy…
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, Let Us Pray… →
Lord, let your light shine brighter in my spirit.
I soak my soul in the blood of Jesus.
I’m the new man.
The spirit of Jesus, the heart of Jesus flows through me.
I’m free.
I’m a new person.
I have no more fear, no more discouragement, no more anxiety.
I am free because of the blood of Jesus.
Jesus is in me.
I am delivered from the influence of darkness.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
