The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:56-57.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
You have the Blessing and the Victory and My gifts and calling are irrevocable. These are yours in Christ Jesus and no one can take them from you. But if you do not know you have them, and the devil will try to blind your mind to the knowledge that these are yours, or, even if you know you have them but you do not actively take hold of them, you will never enjoy them but will continue to permit Satan to oppress you.
If you are thinking you do not have healing, health, provision, renewal of youth, redemption from the pit, and, in fact, the Kingdom, you will be like the elder son in the parable My Son taught about the prodigal son. You are with Me always and all I have is yours but if you will not take it and use it, but instead you accuse Me of withholding it, we will both be grieved. I will be grieved because I have been pleased to give you the Kingdom and you won’t receive it and enjoy all the benefits of being a citizen of My Kingdom, and not only a citizen, but a child of the King and an heir of all I have—a joint heir with Christ. And just like the Father in the parable of the prodigal son, I have already given you your inheritance for I will never die but Christ has making you step up as His heir already and I have given Him everything that is Mine. Do you see? So you as His heir have already inhertited all I have for I had already given it to Him.
And you will be grieved because you keep begging Me to give you something I already have given to you which is unfruitful and useless prayer. When someone gives you a gift, you can use it or refuse it, or worse yet, ignore it and keep asking them to give to you what you already have. And the more you refuse to receive it and keep crying and begging to have it the harder you close the door of your heart to receiving. Hardened hearts not only grieved My Son but made Him angry and frustrated with those who should have known better because they failed to understand Scriptures and My power. And this caused them to not understand My love for them. And thus they had no faith in My promises though they professed to believe in Me and know My Word. Do not be like that. Learn what I have given you in My Word and receive it with thanksgiving.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God. 1 Corinthians 2:12.
What is the Blessing and what is the Victory that are yours in Christ Jesus? They are how I make you a super conqueror.
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37.
The Blessing is the Blessing of Abraham, also called the “Eden Blessing” and the “Blessing of the LORD.”
It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it. Proverbs 10:22.
Jesus redeemed you from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for you on the Cross to give you the Blessing of Abraham and the promise of the Spirit through faith. And thus you have righteousness, prosperity, increase, power, the anointing, the gifts and fruits of the Spirit, and victory all by faith. Jesus had all that on Him in His life on earth and still does.
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” Revelation 5:12.
And He emptied Himself and gave it to you. That is the benefit of the Covenant you have entered with Him.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9.
The Blessing of Abraham is a blessing of increase and dominion, just as the first Blessing I gave man the day I created him. And with Abraham I added another promise that I gave to Adam and Eve after they had sinned, victory over the devil, sin, and death by the Messiah, the seed of the woman, who would take down the power over death that Adam had handed over to Satan by submitting to the devil’s lies and being born again from life to death by the corruptible seed of the lying word of the devil. But Jesus came to undo the works of the devil and it is the victory that each believer who takes Jesus as Lord now has through Jesus.
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 56-57.
Jesus took your sins and your sentence of condemnation (“dust you are and to dust you shall return”) and went down to the dust of death, Psalm 22:15, and, by My grace, tasted death for you all, Hebrews 2:9, so that you no longer have to face the second death (eternal death away from My presence) but have eternal life (eternal life in My Kingdom of Light fully in My presence).
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. Hebrews 2:14-16.
I blessed Abraham with prosperity, long satisfying life, protection, increase of his household, righteousness by faith, a land I promised him, and victory over his enemies. But I turned this into a promise of Messianic blessing after he followed My leading in showing Abraham visually the enormity of what I planned to do with the Lamb I Myself would provide for the burnt offering when he was willing to sacrifice his beloved son. In that revelation of things to come from his line, Abraham saw the day of Jesus and rejoiced. And here is the blessing I gave to Abraham that day:
In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply you, and I will greatly multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens [spiritually born again descendants grafted in by taking Jesus as Lord, Galatians 3:29] and as the sand which is on the seashore[natural born descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob]; and your descendant shall possess the gate of His enemies. In your descendant all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice. Genesis 22:17-18.
Because Abraham put his faith in My Word and taught his household to do the same, I sent Jesus as your Messiah, as I promised in the Garden of Eden, through his line according to the flesh. And Jesus took down and possesses the gate of His enemies. Jesus conquered the devil and all his demons and unclean influences and sat down with Me on My throne as the victor, the overcomer.
When you were dead in your transgressions I made you alive together with Christ, having forgiven you all your transgressions by Jesus taking them and your punishment on Himself. Sin incurs a debt with Me that must be paid in like kind, but in Jesus I canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against you for your sins, having nailed it to the cross. And in Jesus I disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through the cross.
Now as He is, so are you in this world, 1 John 4:17, an overcomer, John 16:33, and I even go on to assure you that in Christ you are more than an overcomer, you are a super overcomer through the One who loves you and gave His life for you, Jesus. Romans 8:37-39.
But let us look at that word in the original language it was written, that is, Greek.
Whenever you see the word victory, victor, overcomer, conqueror in the New Testament it is the same Greek word, it is “nikao” as a verb and “nike” as a noun. It means conquer, victorious, overcome, prevail, subdue, hero, victory. It is the word “nikao” when I tell you that the victory (nikao) that overcomes the world is your faith.
When I tell you that in all the trials, opposition, persecution, and storms the devil raises against you that you are a super conqueror or more than a conqueror or overwhelmingly conquer, it is a Greek word “hupernikao,” coined by My servant Paul, who was just that in Christ Jesus. Hupernikao is a combination of “hyper,” which means beyond, super, over and above, overwhelming, and “nikao” which we have just discussed. When you are above and beyond a conqueror (victor, overcomer) you are what so much of your secular godless media promotes today that are “superheroes,” such as Superman, and others of amazing strength that no one can conquer when they come on the scene. And people are excited about these characters. But even though that may seem like science fiction, but as far as taking down the devil’s works and all his wiles it is not “science fiction,” but it is the reality of WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.
You are not fighting battles in the natural but in the supernatural.
But this is not new that I call you heroes of supernatural ability when I am with you. Even before Jesus died on the cross, though My Spirit could not live in you because you had not been born again, and My Spirit cannot dwell in a spirit that is dead to Me and alive to sin, My Spirit would come upon men and women who believed in Me, and enabled them to have amazing victories over their enemies. And what do you think I called them? Take a look at Gideon and his amazing victory over the Midianites.
At the time I appeared to Gideon, My people Israel had forsaken Me for idols and were not keeping My Words, in fact, they did not even know them, read them, or honor them. But they knew of Me still as the God who had fought for them and done wonders to redeem them from Egypt and to give them the Promised Land where they now dwelt. Gideon was hiding from the enemy when I came to speak with him and I greeted him assuring him that I was with him and then called him a “gibbor chayil.” Judges 6:12. He did not agree I was with him, since he was defeated by the enemy armies, and he did not agree that he was a gibbor chayil, in fact, he saw himself as the most insignificant in his family and his family as insignificant as well.
Gibbor in Hebrew means a strong, mighty hero, a champion, a mighty warrior, a conqueror. Chayil means a powerful army with strength and wealth. I called the army of Pharaoh “chayil” when I referred to them coming after My people. Exodus 14:4. David sang that with My help he could overcome an army (chayil).
I called Gideon a hero with the strength and wealth of an army behind him.
Gideon’s response was that I could not be with them because I had not conquered their enemies and that he was not able to do it. I responded that I would conquer them through him. He did not think that possible, but I simply responded, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall conquer Midian as one man.” Judges 6:16. The word conquer there is “nakah” in Hebrew, which means to smite, beat down, to conquer with a single fatal blow.
And Gideon put his faith in Me as he walked it out with Me and became a gibbor chayil that took down Midian as one man with only 300 men following him as their leader against an army of tens of thousands. When I am with you I only need one to do the job. One or many it works the same if I am with you.
Before I spoke with Gideon, he had been begging and cajoling Me to save Israel from the Midianites while he and his family had an altar to the idol Baal in their yard where they and the village worshipped. Before he could become a gibbor chayil he had to tear down that altar and upon its place build an altar to worship Me, the one true God, and offer Me the burnt offering before he could go on to conquer the enemy. The same with you. Before you can be more than a conqueror over all the harassment and evil the devil sends into your life, you must stop doing his will by lying, cheating, gossiping, worrying, having anxiety, fear, and blaming Me for all that is wrong in your life and get out of the devil’s camp into Mine. A shout of joy, a shout of victory is only in the tents of the righteous, of those who have been saved and born again in Jesus. These are the ones who have repented and believed in the good news of My Kingdom.
Get out of the tents of the wicked into the tents of the justified so you can be all I made you to be, a hero with the strength of an army, and I mean the army of the LORD of Hosts. My holy angels. Just like Elisha had, and you have even more. Jesus can tell Me as your great High Priest and good Shepherd at any time to send you twelve legions of angels. But more than that, when you are in Covenant with Him, He shows up. If you ask anything in His Name, He will do it.
And because you are in Covenant with Jesus, you are in His Covenant with Me by being in Him. So I show up. And there is no snatching out of My hand. We have you covered, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all there with you and in you forever.
What a wonderful place to be. The grace in which you now stand by faith.
I love you. You have the Blessing and the Victory and you have them in Me. What a beautiful way to be. Believe it, receive it, and live it starting now. It all depends on what you have in your mind, in your mouth, and in your actions. Up to you. I have set life before you and the devil has set death before you. Choose life that you and all your household may live the life of those who are super conquerors, aka “superheroes.” Put on my full armor and the devil sees a superhero.
