excerpt from Joseph Prince calm
[Music]
the Bible tells us that death is an
enemy to God just like sin is an enemy
to God the devil is an enemy to God
death is an enemy to God it's never
God's plan that man should die that's
why God hates death the way he hates sin
God hates death and presently we gonna
see that the scripture says that the
last enemy they'll be put under the feet
of Jesus is death
look at this verse the Bible tells us
verse 14 Hebrews - inasmuch then as the
children has taught taken of flesh and
blood Jesus himself likewise shed in the
same that through death he might destroy
him who had the power of death that is
the devil that tells us clearly that
death is not from God but does that make
the devil powerful in the sense that he
has the power there's no friend the
devil does not have any power in and of
himself but what he borrows let me
explain there is something that got
ordained or I caught the law and the
Bible says very clearly that the law
brings death in fact the tree of
knowledge of good and evil
notice thought the knowledge of good and
evil is not called the tree of death it
is not called the tree of sin it's
called the tree of knowledge of good and
evil today what is the knowledge of good
and evil the law God says don't eat from
that tree the day you eat it you shall
die even today for believers God says
you know when God first gave the law
3,000 people died at the foot of Mount
Sinai when God gave the spirit on the
day of Pentecost 3,000 people were safe
listen carefully friend because of man's
sin everybody's gonna die but Jesus did
something for us the Bible say that
through death he destroyed the devil who
had the power of death and released
those who through fear of death were all
their lifetime subject
to bondage look at this versus isn't it
clear that God has done something about
our fear of death there must be a
revelation that we must receive today
that caused us
no longer to be afraid of death but if
you have this idea anytime you can die
anytime the devil can take your number
then friend you are not free from the
fear of gas and you glad you came today
obviously Jesus Christ has done
something to release us and the Bible
says that through death he destroyed the
devil I love that would destroy the word
then the greek kappa yo means to deprive
the power deprive the devil of the power
to bankrupt him - and now him to put him
to not the one who had the power of
death
remember how he does it it comes to you
accuses you you miss the devil people
think the devil is like you know when
you take the lift alright you see an
angel saying going up say no no no the
leaf closes then the leaf opens again
after for a while you see a devil in red
underwear with a pitchfork if it's going
down that's when you run isn't it but
it's not like that many times the devil
comes as an angel of light it can come
to the mouth of a preacher even and you
start thinking alright it's all about
you it's all about you it's all about
you friend is not about you it's all
about christ from Genesis to Revelation
is all about Jesus Christ and it's about
us only in him the devil wants you focus
on you got once you focus on his son
just like David when David knocked down
Goliath the Bible says he ran towards
Goliath and he took Goliath's sword and
decapitated him amen he knew how to get
a hit in life
now in the same way David use Goliath
own sword Jesus used something the devil
will that deaf itself
he used death to put an end to death are
you listening people in other words the
law must be clashing that the law must
be met God's law is holy don't
misunderstand me
they cannot make us holy it is perfect
but I cannot protect us it cannot make
us perfect thereby listen carefully the
the devil uses what is holy that's the I
want to say coup de Gras but the word
Christ there's grace it is his master
achievement to use something holy so you
never guess it is him and to tell you
you've come short so that you expect bad
things and even death to happen
are you listening people all right so
Jesus became a man in fact that's a
reason why he was born as a baby
remember and then they wrapped him in
swaddling clothes the same kind that
they were used for a corpse and then
they put him where in a stone manger you
go to Israel today you understand that
during Jesus time all right
when when they bury someone they buried
them in a stony tomb they lay him on a
stony base amen
so Jesus the baby was laid wrap up as if
it's a cops in swaddling clothes laid in
a stony manger he was the only baby born
to die friend God's law must be met
it must be met we have broken it we're
gonna just say you know God can I just
say boys will be boys sweep everything
under the carpet no sin must be met must
be paid punishment must be executed or
else the the fabric of the whole
universe will collapse if God is not
righteous God is not just God is not
holy the entire fabric of the universe
will disintegrate no God must punish sin
but God does not want to punish sin in
your body I call this the divine dilemma
so but then God is above
every dilemma in his wisdom God knew
that the only way for sin to be punished
is that it must be paid the only way the
law can be fulfilled is a somebody meet
all the requirements of the law
and so God in His love sent his son so
don't have this idea people that Jesus
is tender and and wonderful shepherd but
God is turned or I God is demanding no
no it was God who so loved the world
that God gave His only begotten Son that
whoever believes in Him amen the triune
God is involved in your redemption in
your freedom from the fear of death in
your freedom from judgment hallelujah

once you're safe you have the Holy
Spirit but there is a new something
called the flesh it is not your body it
the bytes in your body is called they're
part of you that wants to do wrong the
self life all right just like a pebble
in this in the shoe can trouble you so
that's the the flesh is there is the
part of you that wants to do wrong now
you are not flesh if you are a believer
you have the flesh but you are not the
flesh you are in the spirit

he didn't just die for us Jesus died s
us pastor I am struggling that is not
your true self your true self before God
in God's eyes is the man at God's right
hand
[Music]
we all want victory amen God won't be
bound to anything all right there's no
condemnation the Bible says it clearly
in all that we are sharing understand
this Jesus took your condemnation at the
cross he bore your condemnation God will
never condemn you for your addiction
never the way to overcome our spotlight
is not even to try trying makes it worse
it's like a man in a quicksand the more
you try the more he goes in so does it
mean we just indulge of course not all
right the whole idea of falling back
into the arms of the one who was raised
from the dead is that he will cause you
to walk in victory
