Dealing With Resistance

It is the revelation of GOD’S Goodness that leads you to repentance.

It is the revelation of GOD’S Goodness that heals you.

It’s a gift and you cannot earn it but you need only to fully accept HIS healing in your life.  It is written in Isaiah 53 by The Holy Spirit:

4 But [in fact] He has borne our griefs,

And He has carried our sorrows and pains;

Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken,

Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him].

5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing];

The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him,

And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.

And:

10  Yet the Lord was willing

To crush Him, causing Him to suffer;

If He would give Himself as a guilt offering [an atonement for sin],

He shall see His [spiritual] offspring,

He shall prolong His days,

And the will (good pleasure) of the Lord shall succeed and prosper in His hand.

11 As a result of the anguish of His soul,

He shall see it and be satisfied;

By His knowledge [of what He has accomplished] the Righteous One,

My Servant, shall justify the many [making them righteous—upright before God, in right standing with Him],

For He shall bear [the responsibility for] their sins.

12 Therefore, I will divide and give Him a portion with the great [kings and rulers],

And He shall divide the spoils with the mighty,

Because He [willingly] poured out His life to death,

And was counted among the transgressors;

Yet He Himself bore and took away the sin of many,

And interceded [with the Father] for the transgressors.

Jesus fulfilled this prophecy in Isaiah in full.  Yes, the payment for our sins is complete and nothing else is required.  Included in this payment is the complete removal of guilt from our midst thus the adversary has nothing legally to bring up to us about our past.  However, his demons will try to keep us living in our past in order to keep our focus away from full maturity as Sons and Daughters.

Be assured that Jesus will not suffer on the cross again for what He did once is more than enough for all of mankind… period!  We need to cast down all vain and empty imaginations about the past and move on with our gifts and callings.  We need to shut the demonic activity out by The Blood of Jesus.

Do you think they will go willingly?  No.  In Mark chapter 9, even Jesus had to deal with a contrary demon:

17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”

Do you think the demon knew who the disciples were?  Do you think that the demon knew that Jesus would arrive any minute?  Yet the demon continued to plague the man’s son.  Jesus was not pleased by the disciples inability to cast out the demon.

19 He answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.” 20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

What did the demon do when Jesus approached the son?  The demon increased his resistance and made a spectacle of the boy.  The demon challenged Jesus.

21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”

And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

The power and authority of Jesus has been given to us and made perfect by His Blood.  We are no longer guilty of our past and we must remove any reference to the “old man” for we are new in Christ Jesus.  We have taken on His righteousness so let us walk accordingly and once and for all, let the old man pass away.  Behold, all things are new!

We are in a war and we are called to establish The Kingdom of GOD.  We are meant to be more than conquerors and acquire the fruitfulness of the crops in the land planted by others.  The fullness of the earth is THE LORD’S so let us take back lost real estate on HIS behalf.  Jesus fulfilled all the requirements for restoration and we are His beneficiaries.  Simply accept this Truth!
