Having, Receiving, and Remembering the Knowledge of God Brings Life and Victory!

Having, Receiving, and Remembering the Knowledge of God Brings Life and Victory!

The Bible says that the Lord redeems our lives from destruction! (Psalms 103:4) If that is true, and it is, then why so much destruction on the planet? I don’t know about you, but I had questions like this early on my walk with the Lord. It took me years to resolve some of the questions. This article does not address every question you may have, but it draws some lines in the sand via the Scripture. It will open your eyes to start seeing the answers in the Word of God.

Here we go. 

In Christ Jesus, we have been redeemed from every curse that came into this planet as the result of the fall of the first man Adam. If you have questions about all that very clear truth in the Bible, then please listen to the first 10 podcasts in my series The Plan of Redemption. Also, listen to my podcasts on our Redemption from the Curse. That is the ONLY way to get answers. Listen to the Word and align yourself with it. Don’t argue with Scripture. Learn from it and apply it to yourself.

The redeemed of the Lord are supposed to be speaking their redemption! (Ps. 107:2) There are many redemption truths that should be a part of what you say. Instead of believing and speaking doubt and unbelief about what circumstances dictate, speak the Word! You must know what is included in the redemption provided by God through Jesus so you can apply it to yourself.

Here is a good Scripture to start with.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become curse for us… (Galatians 3:13) 

We are redeemed from the curse that was pronounced upon those that break God’s commandments or laws according to Deuteronomy 28:15-68. We are redeemed from every curse listed there and elsewhere in Scripture. That list ends with an ALL-INCLUSIVE verse that includes even those curses not mentioned in that curse of the law. (Deuteronomy 28:61 ff.) Everything evil is under the curse. There is nothing good under the curse, and there is nothing bad under God’s blessings in Deuteronomy 28:1-14. God is the author of all that is good, and Satan is the author of all that is evil. We are redeemed from all the destruction brought into this planet by THE destroyer, the devil! (See John 8:44, 10:10; Revelation 9:11; 1 Corinthians 5:5; Job 2:7.) We are redeemed from every aspect of death NOW. (Hebrews 2:14; Romans 5:17)

The only part of our redemption we cannot get while alive on this earth is the resurrected body like the one Jesus had after He was raised from the dead. That could change any minute when the trumpet sounds, we are caught up to meet the Lord Jesus in the clouds and we are changed and transformed in the twinkling of an eye! (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; 1 Corinthians 15:53-57) Yes! Glory to God!

Satan is doing everything he can to destroy and take over, but God has His people in the earth that will not let it happen. The people of God trust in their God and in what Jesus did for them, and they keep the devil at bay! Truly, it is the real church being salt and light that has kept this world full of hate and darkness from being completely consumed.

…Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. (Matthew 16:18b NASB)

Jesus said that the gates of hades (death, destruction, the curse, evil, sin, darkness, the devil’s domain, and kingdom) WILL NOT prevail or win against the church! We are MORE than CONQUERORS in Christ! (Romans 8:37, 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57) We are to be triumphant while on the earth.

Once the church, the restraining force of God on the earth is removed, then, and only then, will all hell break loose on this planet. The man of sin, the antichrist, and his attempt at world domination, can’t even start until the church is out of here! (2 Thessalonians 3:1-12) When we (the real Church) are taken to be in the presence of the Lord via a great catching away (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18), that will signal the final hours for Satan and his followers before Jesus comes back to the earth to rule and reign for 1,000 years!

As I have heard several preachers say, “Read the back of the book. We win!” Victory is ours in Him, but victory and overcoming faith is ours now! (1 John 5:4) We have already been delivered from the authority of darkness and translated into the kingdom of His dear Son and we have been given authority and power over ALL the works of the enemy! (Colossians 1:13; Luke 10:19; Mark 16:17; James 4:7; Ephesians 6:10-18)
