Death vs Life


For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
[Romans 8:2 KJV]

In Romans 8:2 we see the two spiritual laws of life and death in operation. The following charts show each law and it's results. As you can see, they are complete opposites. The boundary line between them was crossed only one time-when Jesus offered Himself as the Supreme sacrifice to purchase our freedom from every part of the curse.

SATAN                                             JESUS          


  1. The law of sin                           The law of the
and death                                  Spirit of life
(the curse)                                  (the blessing)
                                                                                

  2. Fear                                                Faith
                                                                                

3. Sin & Death              Life & Righteousness
                                                                                

4. Sickness & disease         Healing & Divine-                                                              Health
                                                                                

5. Poverty                             Prosperity
                                                                                

6. Worry & Anxiety            The Peace of God
                                                                                

7. Hate                                    Love
                                                                                

8. Demons                              Angelic Powers
                                                                                

The price that Jesus paid was two-fold. He came, not only to destroy the works of the devil, but also to deliver us from the fear of death and the bondage it brings. Look at [Hebrews 2:14-15]

 Forasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of
the same; that through death he
might destroy him that had the
power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

The phrase fear of death is a result of 
the law of sin and death. The word 
destroy in the original text means “to 
paralyze.” Jesus came for two reasons:

1. to completely paralyze Satan 
who had the power of death

2. to deliver us who through 
fear of death were held subject 
to bondage

We have not been given the spirit
of bondage again to fear. Fear pro-
duces bondage. Jesus came to break
the power of that bondage! How? By
stopping the force of fear. Praise God!

In order for the power of death to
ever be broken, Jesus had to absorb
all the curse of the law, both in the
spiritual realm and in the physical
realm. He bore all the physical curse at Calvary. All the demons of hell
came against Him to annihilate Him.
They wanted to torment Jesus forever
and keep Him in bondage forever,
thereby keeping God from ever hav­ing contact with mankind again. Satan
could then rule and reign on this earth
as he pleased with no restrictions or
qualifications whatsoever. But God
had something else in mind!
[Hebrews 2:14] says through death He (Jesus) 
destroyed him (Satan) that had the
power of death.

When the price was paid, God
breathed the breath of life into Jesus,
and the law of the Spirit of life was set
into motion for mankind. Because He
did all that for you and me, we can
live free! We can know beyond doubt
that the law of the Spirit of life in
Christ Jesus has made us free from
the law of sin and death!

The Blessings

I am created for blessing. As a result, I am fruitful in every good thing and I multiply and increase in blessing. Because my God has blessed me, no curse can touch me. In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of His blood, I decree His covenant of blessing around my life and all that pertains to me. Nothing but blessing is permitted to come into my life or sphere of influence. If the enemy attempts to attack me, he will be caught in the act and pay sevenfold what he stole and then I will plunder his house, for I only accept blessing. His attempts create testimonies of God’s increased blessings in my life. Like Abraham, I am blessed and am called to be a blessing. Through my life in Jesus, nations are blessed. Blessings come upon me and overtake me. Blessings are attracted to me. I am a blessing magnet. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I am blessed in the city and blessed in the field. The heavens are open over my life and  the rain of God’s abundant goodness falls...

Intimacy with the Most High

Intimacy With the Most High How important is it to us to dwell in the place of communion with God? What price will we pay to experience the presence and glory of God? That I may know Him Philippians 3:7-11 7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ. 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Apostle Paul made “knowing Christ” His primary passion. He laid aside everything else s...

2021 YEAR OF DOMINION

2021 YEAR OF DOMINION     There’s a phrase which I don’t like at all. Undoubtedly, you’ve heard it too, usually in drawn out, religious sounding tones when circumstances seem to fall short of what God has promised us in His Word. “Well...God is sovereign.” Of course, without question, God is sovereign. But what people are really saying behind that statement is, “You never know what God is going to do.” The problem with that view of sovereignty is it releases us of all responsibility. After all, if God is sovereign, He will do what He wants to anyway, so we might as well go watch television and forget about it, right? Wrong. According to Psalm 8:6 , God Himself put mankind in charge, gave us dominion, and put all things under our feet. He doesn’t intervene in the affairs of the Earth whenever He wants. He respects the dominion and authority He has given us. Are all things under your feet today? If not, it’s time to take a closer look at what dominion really means.   1. Do...
