In other words, Jesus overcame all of those things that are overcoming us. [00:40:32] (33 seconds)  #ThirdDayVictory

That's why the resurrection is so important because the Bible says that we were all dead. We were all dead in our trespasses and sins, but god, when Jesus rose from the dead, he put us in Jesus and raised us up. That's why Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and I am the life. He's your resurrection, and he's your life. That means the devil does not have to defeat us anymore. [00:41:05] (26 seconds)  #RaisedWithChrist

This before the resurrection was the crucifixion. The crucifixion was god doing what you could never do for yourself. The crucifixion was god cleansing you from all unrighteousness. The crucifixion was god putting all of your sins, all of your weaknesses, all of your mistakes on a perfect man, Jesus. A perfect sacrifice, Jesus. And when he died, god said, you died. In the mind of god, when Jesus died, your old self, your old smoking, drinking, running around self is dead. [00:47:54] (48 seconds)  #OldSelfIsDead

When you get to heaven, you're gonna be celebrating the victories that god made available through you but you're gonna have to have some power while you're here in order to win those victories. Now, you say, well, why is that? Well, it's because we're not fighting against people. Our battle, the Bible says, is with with spirits, with demons, with demonic forces.
