Hell and Death

Hell and Death have been preached for years and still is being preached as the place for eternal damnation for those that do not believe in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sin.  But this message is not about condemnation, but rather about what the Lord has revealed concerning hell and death.
 
1 Corinthians 15:23-28 ...Then cometh the end when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet.  But when he said all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
 
This is an awesome awakening to grasp a hold of, but worth the time to go deeper and higher in our Lord....  so please follow me as the Holy Spirit will open up your understanding, if you ask of Him.
 
So Jesus must accomplish the defeat of death, and this He did on the cross and in the three day experience... all for us. 
 
2 Timothy 1:9-10 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
 
1 Corinthians 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.  v55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is they victory? v56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. v57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory though our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Jesus Christ defeated death and swallowed it up, and removed it out of the way for us when He took on the sin of the world, and paid the full price of sin which was death... for all the world.
 
Hebrews 2(all) 7-9 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
 
Hallelujah!  Death IS Destroyed and Defeated.  Jesus Did This ... It is Finished.
Now look at Hebrews 2:14 to see that not only is death destroyed, but now the devil is destroyed too.
 
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;...
 
The Works of the Father through Jesus Christ is our Salvation!  Liberty!  When we are awakened to all that He has done and has become for us, then we too can walk in that Victory!  Now, not only is the devil destroyed but now Jesus Christ has destroyed the works of the devil too.
 
1 John 3:8-9 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil...
 
Sin and death were of the devil.  Praise the Lord for Jesus Christ!!!  Now we can walk in our liberty without fear of death and without sin and without fear of the devil.  The Lord has and will take care of what troubles you. 
 
Give Him Praises due His Name, Daily!  When we were of sin, the devil had reign... BUT NOW Christ Jesus is Come in us and forgiven us of our sin... now He is Lord of us and is cleaning us up and releasing us from every darkened hold.  Hallelujah and Amen!
 
Now let’s look at Hell and then bring this together in the Victory of the Lord Jesus Christ, even more!
 
Revelation 20:10-14 v10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
 
Here we see that in the Revelation of Jesus Christ that the devil and beast and false prophet is not in our future, but is back in that generation. 
 
Revelation 20:13-14 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. v14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
 
Again it is revealed how that death and hell are thrown into the lake of fire, but note where they and the devil, beast, and false prophet were put.... the lake of fire.
 
So even with this revealing that death and hell are thrown in the lake of fire, and the devil destroyed and locked up now forever and ever... there is still a dwelling of God which is the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.  This dwelling is NOT hell or death or the devil, etc...  This lake is a place of God for HIS PURPOSE.  Look at this next verse... 
 
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Also read 1 Corinthians 6:9-12; Galatians 5:19-21)
 
Those that are workers of the flesh will have their part in this lake of fire and brimstone, which is called the second death.  Those that have taken part of the Resurrection or have received Jesus Christ as their Resurrection this second death has no power over them. (2 Peter 3:7-13)
 
God is a consuming fire.  Hebrews 12:27-29 (22-29) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
 
Read Numbers 11:1-3 which shows of God when His anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them and consumed them...  Praise the Lord for Grace!!!!
 
So now we have been shown that Hell and Death and the Devil and the Beast and the False Prophet are no more.  They were all thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone that is reserved for all unrighteousness. And this lake of fire is eternal.
 
Jesus Christ FINISHED this Work.  He has already birthed forth the Kingdom having reconciled the world unto Himself and tasted death for all and soooo much more.  Oh Hallelujah! for the Victory is Done.
 
NOW... take a look at this... Revelation 1:17-18  ...Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore. Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
 
He could not have received the keys of hell and death unless He was the OVERCOMER of them.  Do you see this!  Yes HE HAS Overcome ALL THINGS, and HIS KINGDOM and Government is ruling and reigning over all NOW!
 
Now it is time for those that are called by His name to take your places in the Lord Jesus Christ... allow Him to Wash You in this Testament of the Lamb of God and present truth of Victory, so that you may come forth, no longer as the carnal mind walking, or a religious mind, but as one with the Lamb of God and married also to the Lamb of God.  Thus, One Spirit, One Mind ruling and reigning with the Lord in all affairs of this world and generation, from age to age.
 
Jesus Christ has the keys of hell and death. God has thrown hell and death into an eternal lake of fire.  Jesus Christ has overcome all our obstacles and has purified the Kingdom from all unrighteousness.  Now no abomination or unclean thing can enter in to His Kingdom. 
 
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
 
All must be born again to see and enter the kingdom of God.  Nicodemus questions Jesus of being born again naturally.  So Jesus explains… except a man be born of water and Spirit (John 3:3-5). The water here is meaning the natural birth. Jesus is saying only those that are born naturally can then be born again of the Spirit. (born/washing of the word of God Ephesians 5:26-27; 1 Peter 1:22-23; Titus 3:4-7; James 1:18), and Spirit (John 3:3-8; John 1:12-14).  No one can Enter or See the Kingdom of God unless they are born again of His Spirit having been washed in His Word and His Blood. This begins with a repentive heart of your sin and receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior and asking to be baptized in the promise of the Father’s Holy Spirit. Once filled and sealed of the Holy Spirit he will teach you and guide you in the next steps and bring others to help. 
 
So even in this age, the Holy Ghost/Spirit washes and cleanses us by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word that is Spirit and life, the Testament of the Father concerning His Son and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We are become God’s temple and body.
 
Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
 
Luke 3:16-17 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire; Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
 
Allow God to write the Testament of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God upon your heart and put in your mind... He is the Alpha and Omega.  The Fullness of God.  Now being made manifest in you and You In The Lamb of God! who is in His Kingdom and on His Throne.  (Ephesians 3:14-21; John 14:20-23) He’s bringing you Home.
 
This Blood Covenant of the Lamb of God is the Power of God working in you, as your assurance and anchor that the job will be done.
 
Ephesians 3:14-21
v16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
v17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
v18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
v19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
v20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
v21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
 
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God has overcome all things, and we overcome all things by His Blood, and the word of our testimony.
 
Get your mind off hell and death, and the devil, and focus on the Victory and Blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God!  He is our key to enter His Kingdom and to live life more abundantly.  It is done. 
 
Amen.
