Resurrection Message 04/02/2013

This sermon draws your attention to the message of Easter/Resurrection.  Jesus was the Seed of God and recognized that it was necessary for Him to be planted in the ground and die in order to produce life.  He was the fulfillment of the prophecy in Gen. 3:15…the seed to bruise Satan’s head.  Satan had come into the delightsome Garden of Eden, that inhabited the presence of God and caused the one that was created with the image/likeness of God to fall…what a celebration…and stole his authority.  Satan then was seated as the god of this world and the prince of the power of the air until the advent of Jesus, the incarnate seed of God placed in a woman’s womb.  Mary’s womb gave the Seed of God flesh and in Jn. 1:1,14 the Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us!

God’s power made religion nervous when it was manifested through Jesus’ ministry and multitudes were drawn to Him.  Religion knew that something must be done about this and the plan of God was put into motion.

Spiritual separation entered and Jesus was placed in hell in the presence of satan and all of his cohorts.  Just as satan entered the Garden of God and stole man’s dominion, God now seemingly gives His Son to the power of the prince of the air.  But then the power of God came upon Jesus and circumcised/stripped the nature of sin/death from Him and He was resurrected up as that Seed that bruised satan’s head and brought him to nothing.  Christ the wisdom/power of God stripped satan of all of his dominion/authority right in his very own kingdom!

Jesus was the first begotten from the dead….born again by the power of the Holy Spirit.  He has removed the nature of sin and death from us by His very own blood and given us back the keys through His mighty name.  We are once again kings and priests unto God as we are born of God and His seed remains in us!  We are resurrected in our spirits to walk in His divine nature and can live in victory every day of our life!
