THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD !

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD ! You may be just as I was when I first heard of the believer's authority. I thought, Man, I wouldn't dare do that. Because, as religion would put it; we are old sinners saved by grace: I might make the devil mad. The real reason I wouldn't do it was because I had no Revelation in my spirit of who I was in Christ Jesus. I was like the desperately ill man whose charismatic friend suggested he rebuked the devil and command him to leave. He replied, "Look, I am not in any position to antagonize anyone !" Thank God, I found out Satan is no match for the believer who knows who he or she is and their authority and position in Jesus Christ ! Before you were born again: I'm not talking about joining some religious institution. When you are born again, you became the righteousness of God and a joint-heir with Jesus. All that Jesus has is your. Let me make this very clear, a sinner is a man or woman that is under the control and power of Satan and they can't help but to sin because it is an act of your will. All that Jesus has is your. His righteousness is imputed to you. "For He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). He (God) has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6). When you stand before Satan, he doesn't see you--- he sees the authority of Jesus who is The Word and The Word was God ! The Word says you are the righteousness of God, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God ordained. (Ephesians 2:10). We have sung those or unbelieving song so long that we thought it was true. "Just a weary pilgrim, struggling through this world, I know not today what tomorrow will bring, shadows, sunshine or rain." That's just one of millions of unbelieving unscriptural songs. The apostle Paul said, "For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Most people stop right there, but the next verse says: nay or no, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us "(Romans 8:36-37). He quoted the first Scripture of context to magnify his positive statement. No, we are not as sheep led to the slaughter. That is talking about Jesus and His crucifixion. We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. We are conquerors through Jesus. One who is more than a copper is one who enjoys the victory over Satan, the body, and the sin nature. But you don't have to fight the battle. Jesus wanted for us. They God, everything He did, He did for us !
