"TURNING THE DEVIL'S OWN WEAPONS AGAINST HIM"

Hebr 2:14  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;

2Tim 1:10  But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:



Satan had the power of death. David killed Goliath with a stone and used the giant's own sword to cut off his head. In Exodus 16:12-15, 19-27 we read about the manna that was given to Israel from Heaven. The remedy was the lifting of the brazen serpent on a pole for the dying Hebrews to look at. Satan felt he finished Christ off forever. Jesus said the Spirit of truth would guide us into all truth. When we let go of things we should not have any way, as Abram let Lot go, then God can give us a revelation. Christ is our promised land. God's Spirit is leading us into all truth. We know that we have healing if we are sick. WE ONLY POSSESS WHAT WE EXPERIENCE.

A guide is one who knows the region and tours us through so we can experience it for ourselves.


Again, we must go in the name of the Lord.

We are in Christ. It is a step of faith to POSSESS the land. Possess the land! We enter a rest when we mature in spirit and come to this understanding. The Spirit will show you what belongs to Jesus so that you will know what belongs to you.
John 16:13-14  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.
There are things about Jesus that all of us have never even seen yet. Only circumcised men could eat the Passover. Our inheritance is in Him. He tasted death for every man (He. 2:9). All treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him (Col. 2:3). We partake of the communion bread in indication that we partake of Christ. We must know and understand that we are IN HIM.

I received Him when I knew He died as me.

Colo 3:17  And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
All that I do now I must do it in understanding of my union with Him.
In His name.
Colo 2:9  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
BODILY! I do not revel in shadows of Christ, in meats and drinks and laws of the sabbath. Eating the Passover lamb speaks of putting what is true of Christ into your understanding that it is true of you.

Unbelief keeps us out of the rest.

God's power does not move for us by our doubt but by our faith. Jesus abolished death after He used it against the one who had its power, the devil.
