Power over death.

Power over death.

“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:”
2 Timothy 1:10

Our opening scripture shows us that Jesus Christ has abolished death. Therefore, no Christian should be afraid of death.

Hebrews 2:14-15 say, “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.” When the Bible says that Jesus destroyed him that had the power of death, it means that through the death of Jesus He brought to nothing, made of no effect, paralyzed, reduced to zero the devil.

Why is it important for you to understand this? It is because you will not lose your fear of death until you realize that the one that has the power of death has been paralyzed. That means that the devil cannot kill you.

The power of death is not under the devil's jurisdiction when it concerns a Christian. No Christian will die unless they first confess it with their mouth. The circumstances surrounding their death notwithstanding. There must be a confession of death privately or publicly from a Christian before they can die. Therefore, when you realize that nothing can kill you without you saying it, then you know how to keep yourself alive.    

Confession.
Jesus Christ has abolished death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. I believe and I declare that through the death of Jesus, He destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Therefore I have been delivered from the fear of death. Nothing shall by any means hurt me. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
Isaiah 25:8, Hosea 13:14, John 11:25-26.

Doing the Word
Read Psalm 79:11 and pray for your loved ones and family members that God will preserve all who are appointed to die. Every untimely death is reversed.
