PROVED THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE; SEVEN STEPS TO THE HIGHTEST GOD KIND OF FAITH !

PROVED THROUGH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE; SEVEN STEPS TO THE HIGHTEST GOD KIND OF FAITH ! STEP 2--OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS: The second thing you need to know is the reality of our redemption in Christ Jesus --- not as a doctrine, philosophy, or creed of some kind -- but an actual redemption from the authority of Satan. By the New Birth of the human spirit, we have been translated into the kingdom of His Son, the Kingdom of God. In other words, we have been born into the very family of God. (Colossians 1:12--14). "Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet [able] to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. How wonderful that we can enter into our inheritance in Christ Jesus. God has made us able to have part of this inheritance, as we have just read. Verse 13 goes on to say, "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness . . ." The Greek word translated "power" here means "authority." Who hath delivered us from the AUTHORITY of darkness . . ." Refers to savings kingdom in this world. Notice, too, that the Scriptures doesn't say that He is going to deliver us. It says, "Who Hath delivered us . . ." Verse 14 tells us the price of redemption. "In whom [Jesus Christ] we have redemption through his blood. . ." In connection with this scripture let us look at (Revelation 12:11), "And they overcame him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony . . ." The amplified version of this verse reads, "and they have overcame (Conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing]." The blood of Jesus is the basis for our victory. But we have two add our testimony, our confession, to it. We have two stand our ground with the enemy with the Word of promise. Because Satan is the god of this world, he will try to have authority over you. But he can't win, unless you give him place in your life. Because you have been delivered through the blood of Jesus Christ from the power of God; from the authority of Satan. By virtue of the New Birth, you have been translated into the kingdom of His dear Son. In every contest with Satan you can overcome, no matter what the test may be, because you have redemption through the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of your testimony. I suggest that you get your mouth in motion, with what God says about you; and not what the world and Satan is saying to you (Romans 10:8) !
