00:00:00 Introduction and Purpose of Jesus’ Coming
00:04:15 Defeat of Satan and Deliverance from Fear of Death
Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherri Campbell. Today I’m going to continue sharing with you the Christmas message that I preached in one of our Victorious Faith services called, Why Did Jesus Come? And so join me now in our live service for the continuation of this message, Why Did Jesus Come? Colossians 2.15, having disarmed, that means to literally strip him, disarmed, stripped of all power and authority and all position. He stripped the powers and authorities, that is of the kingdom of darkness, Satan, the devil’s kingdom. He made a public spectacle of them, that was a parade, triumphing over them by the cross. And so he came to defeat Satan and strip him. I love that. Satan was stripped. Can you just imagine that? Next time the devil talks to you, tell him, I see you, you’re stripped. You have been stripped by Jesus of all power and authority. You have no rights over me. I’m delivered from you. Number 17, to deliver us, Jesus came to deliver us from the fear of death. Hebrews 2, 14 and 15 again. So that by his death, he might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is the devil, and to free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. Praise God. Number 18, Jesus came to restore our relationship with God, to reconcile us to God, to be the bridge to bring us back to God. Hallelujah. 2 Corinthians 5, 18 and 19. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. That God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them, and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. So we are reconciled to God. Ephesians 2.13, but now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near to God through the blood of Christ. Colossians 1.20-22, and through him, through Christ, to reconcile to himself, God reconciled to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and you were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight without blemish and free from accusation. Hallelujah. We are brought near to God, reconciled to God. Glory to God. And number 19, Jesus came to give us eternal life. John 10.10, the thief does not come except to steal, to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, that they may have it more abundantly. John 17.2, for you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to those you have given him. Number 20, Jesus came to redeem us from the curse of the law so we can walk in the blessing of Abraham. Galatians 3, 13 and 14, Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written, cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Number 21, Jesus came to set us free from slavery. Slavery to sin, slavery to Satan, slavery to the curse of sin and death. Luke 4, 18, the spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and skip down to release the oppressed. Freedom. John 8.34, Jesus replied, I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Verse 36, so if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. Romans 8.2, because through Christ Jesus, the law, the spirit of life. Set me free from the law of sin and death. So we are no longer slaves to sin. We are free from sin and free from the law of sin and death. Galatians 5.1, it is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. In other words, you’ve got to hold on to your freedom. Satan will put you back in bondage again every chance he gets. He’ll put the curse back on you. He’ll put fear back on you. He’ll put bondage, sickness, lack. And we are to contend for our freedom, hold on to our freedom in Christ. Hallelujah. Number 22, Jesus came to make us sons or other translations, children of God, and to bring many sons or children to God. So to make us the children of God and bring us to God. John 1, 12, but as many as did receive him to them, he gave authority to become sons of God to those who believe in his name. We have the power to become the sons of God. Galatians 3.26, you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 4.4-6, when the time had fully come, God sent his son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law that we might receive the full rights of sons. Because you are sons, God sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, the spirit who calls out, Abba, Father. Hallelujah, he’s our father. Hallelujah. And I’ll just let you read the rest of those scriptures that I put there. Number 23, Jesus came to make us heirs of God and to give us an inheritance. Galatians 4, 7. So you are no longer a slave, but a son. And since you are a son, God has made you also an heir. Praise the Lord. You know, you are an heir of God. Ephesians 1, 11 says, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of his will. Hallelujah. Colossians 1.12, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. Hallelujah. Hebrews 9.15, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance. 1 Peter 1.3 and 4, that he has given us new birth into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade. Praise the Lord. Number 24, Jesus came to become our high priest, to be our high priest. Hebrews 2.17, for this reason, he had to be made like his brothers in every way in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God. Hebrews 3.1, holy brothers, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession or the high priest whom we confess. Hebrews 5, 9 and 10, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him to be designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek. Hallelujah. And Hebrews 7, 26, such a high priest meets our need. One who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners and exalted above the heavens. He is our high priest in heaven representing us before God. Hallelujah. and interceding for us. He is our intercessor. Praise the Lord. Number 25, Jesus came to make us righteous. 2 Corinthians 5, 21. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Number 26, Jesus came to raise us up, to be seated in heavenly places with him and to rule with him. Ephesians 2.6, and God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. Colossians 3.1-3, since then you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above. where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things, for you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God, since you have been raised with Christ. We are raised with Christ. Set your heart and your mind on things above. Praise the Lord. Number 27, Jesus came to restore our authority. our authority. Matthew 28, 18 and 19. Jesus came to them and said, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore you go and make disciples of all nations. In other words, I’ve got authority. Now I’m authorizing you to go and make disciples of all nations. Luke 10, 19, I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy. And Matthew 18, 18, I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. What you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. And I’ve told you before, the word bind also means, in the Greek, it means to forbid and prohibit. And the word loose also means to allow or let loose something. to release, to let loose, to allow. So there are translations of the Bible that actually say it like that. Whatever you allow or actually whatever you forbid on earth is forbidden in heaven. What you allow on earth is allowed in heaven. So who is allowing things on earth? We are. God made us the police of the earth. His church, the ecclesia, not the lost sinners because they have no authority. They’re still slaves. Sinners are still slaves to Satan. But the church, the ecclesia, have been authorized by God in his name and given the badge of authority to police the earth and to bind demons and all works of Satan. So whatever is allowed on earth, we are allowing it, not God. People who say, God, why did you allow it? He has given it as our territory of jurisdiction. We are the one allowing things on the earth, not God. And we are the one to bind, forbid, and prohibit things on earth. And then they will be bound in heaven. In other words, God says, I’ll back you up. You say it, you command it, you bind it. You bind the devil and I’m here to back you with my power. He’s given us his authority and he backs us. But we are the one who bind and loose, allow or forbid. Then number 28, Jesus came to give us peace. And in the Hebrew, that word is shalom. John 14, 27, peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. John 16, 33, I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. Philippians 4, 6 and 7, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. The peace of God passing all understanding will guard your heart and mind. He gives us peace. He gives us shalom. He comforts us. Hallelujah. And number 29, Jesus came to give us the victory. 1 Corinthians 15, 57. But thanks be to God, he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. That means that we can always have the victory.
