... the scriptures... when properly examined and rightly divided, do not portray Jesus as a poverty-stricken individual. On the contrary, Jesus is seen as a Man whose needs were met and who was regularly involved in meeting the needs of others.

There__ no sin problem. Jesus settled that. There__ just a sinner problem. Get the sinner to Jesus, and that cures the problem.

Salvation belongs to the sinner. Jesus already has bought the salvation of the worst sinner, just as He did for us. That__ the reason He told us to go tell the Good News; go tell sinners they__e reconciled to God.

We receive the authority when we are born again. As we are made new creatures in Christ Jesus, we inherit the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we can use it in prayer against the enemy.

We must have this spirit of wisdom and revelation of Christ and His Word if we are to grow. It is not going to be imparted to us through our intellect, either. The Holy Spirit must unveil it to us.

Our combat with the devil always should be with the consciousness that we have authority always should be with the consciousness that we have authority over him because he is a defeated foe _ the Lord Jesus Christ defeated him for us.
