"For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son." (Colossians 1:13 NLT).
"The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love." (Colossians 1:13 Amplified).
I am what the Bible, the Word of God says I am!
I can do what the Bible, the Word of God says I can do!
This is the message of the empty tomb. After His resurrection, Jesus told all who believed to "go into all the world and preach the gospel .. the good news ... and these signs shall follow those who believe ..." (Mark 16:15-18).
Inspiring results are promised to all who believe in the Name of Jesus.
So this New Covenant is built upon tremendous promises Those deliberately and systematically set out promises in the Bible were activated by the death of Jesus, and God's acceptance of His perfect life reflected in the resurrection.
The Bible states His Name is above every other name, except the name of Him who gave Him this name - the living God (1 Corinthians 15:27).
These promises are ours today! 'In My Name, they shall' ... (Mark 16:17) ... cast out demons, speak with new tongues, take up serpents, drink anything deadly thing and lay hands on the sick and they will recover. This list of promises has endless possibilities, and they are all available to us today 'in the Name of Jesus'.
God says you can, the devil says you cannot, and you have the casting vote.
What are you doing with your vote? Get spiritually fit and challenge the enemy for that devil is a defeated foe and your spiritual fitness will identify every alien and non-paying customer in your life. We hear the word cancer and our expectations are challenged. But cancer is only a name; diabetes is only a name; arthritis is only a name; fear is only a name ... Jesus is the Name above every other name (Philippians 2:9-11). No name is greater - the Bible tells us so! Whatever the disease, condition or sickness, the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ covers the underworld, the earth, and the heavens - there is no greater name!
In Hebrews 1:5-13 Christ is set forth in his exaltation above the angels by virtue of both his divine nature and his glorious office.
God '... has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.'
And again ...
'I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son.' But to the Son, He says: 'Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than You companions.'
Thank you, Jesus!
