TouchofGod.World - Teaching Your Identity In Christ Pastor Marc Whelan

This program reminds us of the defeat of sickness and disease, as a result of God defeating the devil and his powers of darkness by him being  disarmed (Col 2:15). The devil may still have the ability to inflict sickness and disease and other oppressive evil measures against humanity, but he has no authority to do so because of being disarmed by  God in Christ, at the Cross (Col 2:15).

Now,  the believer, having faith in, and using the name of Jesus, can triumph in Him (Jesus) over evil, by speaking God’s Word over a situation. As a result, the believer, in Christ, using faith, can set a person free from any work of the enemy including sickness and disease.

We also speak about the nature of how the human race multiplies and continues to reproduce fallen human beings due to the lineage back to  Adam. That is until a person decides to become born again, giving their life over to Christ, receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Their old spirit is then recreated, their lineage to the fallen human race being severed. At this point, since they are a new creation (2 Cor 5:17), their new lineage now goes back one generation to Christ Himself.

This program is best described by simply quoting the scriptures discussed in Ephesians 1 verses 17 to 21:  17 [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, 18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), 19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, 20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], 21 Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.

Continuing this week with part 2 of the series on sin and how to break free of the vicious circle. We teach how it is possible to actually experience freedom of sin, now that we as believers have been set free of the powers of darkness by the finished works of Christ at the Cross. As the believer is well aware, giving your life to Christ Jesus does not automatically make you immune to the desire to take action when met with a temptation. However, the Good News is that there IS a way out: The Word of God itself, and the will of the believer to take advantage of it.

This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  Romans 8:1-2; Hebrews 12:1; Psalm 119:9-11; Galatians 5:24-25.

According to Romans chapter 8 verse 2 (AMPC), the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed the believer from the law of sin and of death. Jesus has set the believer free from the bondage of sin and the wages of it, being a spiritual death. Do you KNOW this promise of God, or is your conscience condemning you, continually keeping you in a prison of belief that you will never be able to get free of this entrapment?

If you are born again, you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. According to Colossians 1:13, God the Father has rescued you out of the domain of darkness, and into the kingdom of his beloved son Jesus.  So, to continue on in sin, believing you have no ability to overcome it, does not line up with what God did for you at the new birth. Christ Jesus not only opened the door to your prison cell, he demolished the walls and the foundation of the prison! You are free of sin and death, but do you believe it, accept it, and live it?

This program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC):  James 1:13-15; Romans 6:4-7; Romans 16:14-18; 1 John 1:9; Romans 8:1-2.
