The power of death in Christ.

There is the power that emanated on the death of Christ. This is the power that brought
deliverances as detailed in Mathews Chapter 28 Vs 50 -54 …… 50Jesus, when he had cried
again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.   51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent
in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;   52And the
graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,   53And came out of the
graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.   54Now
when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and
those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

1) This is the power that brought Miracles (or signs and wonders) ………and the earth did
quake, and the rocks rent;

2) This is the power that brought Deliverance (or Healing ) to human bodies..........And the
graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose

3) This is the power that brought Eternal life ( or Saved) the centurion ……. Truly this was
the Son of God.

Human beings seek Christ invariably for one or more of the needs- Miracles, Healing and
Eternal life. The power that was revealed by the death of Christ brought all the deliverances
that any Human being can aspire for.

It is on the cross that Christ took victory as in Colossians Ch 2 Vs 14-15 …….14Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out
of the way, nailing it to his cross;   15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made
a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. In other words, it was the power in the
death of Christ that triumphed over principalities and powers. When our old man is crucified
with him, it is only at the cross we take victory over principalities and powers. Romans Ch 6
details the manner in which we can inherit the power of death of Christ. By dying to sins, we
enter into the body of Christ. When we are dead to sins, we are buried with him by baptism
into death. When the experience of death in Christ is complete, we fully inherit the power
associated with the death of Christ.

This power brings out deliverance to our selves first………. 7For he that is “dead” is
“freed” from “sin”. This sin is referred to as a “person” in Genesis Ch 4 Vs 7…………..If
thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
And unto thee shall be his desire. It is obvious that this refers to Satan.

Hence we can deduce from the above that “he that is dead is freed from Satan as well”.

Many times people crave for deliverance from Satanic power. The way for permanent
deliverance from Satanic power, is to be dead with Christ by crucifying the old man with
him, so that the body of sin might be destroyed. We will live but hence forth will not serve
sin.
Once we take deliverance from sins, we manifest the power of death of Christ through us. It
is this power that brings up miracles, signs and wonders, and healing. Not only these, it is this
power that can save souls.

If this power is manifested completely in us, then as corollary, we part take in the power of
resurrection also…………… Rom Ch 6 Vs 5…For if we have been planted together in the
likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.  

May God bless you all.
