The story of the fall of man, and God’s redemption of man through His son Jesus Christ, is the greatest story ever written. He came down to this world and stripped Himself of His deity. He never ceased to be God, but at the same time He became man and died for the sins of man. This satisfied the courts of justice in the halls of heaven. It is sung about in thousands of songs. It is proclaimed from behind countless pulpits. It is shouted aloud in innumerable sermons.
“There is a light in the valley of death now for me Since Jesus came into my heart, And the gates of that city beyond I can see Since Jesus came into my heart.” When Jesus died on Calvary and rose from the dead, He bought back—with His own blood—the dominion and authority which had been given away to Satan. In essence, Satan’s power was broken. He is still the god of this world, but he does not have the authority he once had. Man can now be free, and does not have to live under the domination of Satan. Actually, in Matthew 28:18, Jesus said, “all power is given unto me in heaven and earth.” This means exactly what it says. Since Jesus’ sacrifice, Satan really has no power except a pseudo-power stolen from the child of God or mankind in general. In other words, where man once was held in bondage by Satan and had little choice in the matter, he now, through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, has a choice. He doesn’t have to suffer the bondage of Satan, but he can be free by the mighty power of God. “Once like a bird in prison I dwelt No freedom from this sorrow I felt, But Jesus came and listened to me And glory to God. He set me free! The Lord Jesus Christ gained this mighty power, and then—miracle of miracles—turned around and bestowed this power and authority on His children in the world.
“And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive” (Matthew 21:22).
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24).
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7). “If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14).
HALELUJAH.
