The Path That No Demons Have Trodden!






That Path Of Invincibility Is Which Way?

By Abraham Israel









"7 That path no bird knows, nor has the falcon’s eye seen it. 8 The proud lions have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed over it. 9 He puts his hand on the flint; He overturns the mountains at the roots. 10 He cuts out channels in the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing. 11 He dams up the streams from trickling; What is hidden he brings forth to light." (Job 28:7-11).


I believe that this is a prophetic verse that has so much to bless us today. Falcons are systematic hunters and flesh eating birds. Adult falcons have thin tapered wings, which enable them to fly at high speed and to change direction rapidly. Peregrine Falcons have been recorded diving at speeds of 200 miles per hour (320 km/h), making them the fastest-moving creatures on Earth. Spiritually we know that Satan and his demonic cohorts are hunters of human being, Jesus said about this, "The thief [Satan and his demons] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy." (John 10:10). They have no other purpose but to think sadistically and move rapidly to steal, kill and destroy. Humans are desperate for peace and security because all peacelessness and insecurity in the whole world comes because of constant Satanic work to destroy human lives (1 Thess 5:3). They stir up the sin nature within humans and make them do his purpose of stealing, killing and destroying one another (James 1:14-15). Like a falcon Satan has been going to and fro doing his insidious evil business of wreaking havoc all around the globe right from the beginning of creation (Job 1:7; John 8:44).

Satan himself has been compared by apostle Peter to a lion that walks roaring and roaming here and there to devour the lives of people (1 Peter 5:8). We know the proud lions are his assistants of great power who do his bidding to fulfill his will for their lives (Eph 6:12). There are fierce lion of great wrathful destructive nature within Satan's army of destroyers. Satan destroys people with the lies he and his demonic evil cohorts constantly put inside the mind of men which are totally different from the word, will and ways of God.

But there is a foreordained and customized path of God for all of us within the perfect will of God that no demonic birds know, they have no clue on how to attack people who walk in it (Rev 18:2). God sets the hedge of His Presence and guarding angels around all those who fear Him and run away from evil to walk in obedience to His word and His will (Job 1:9-10; Psa 103:20-21; 34:7). The Holy Spirit who is the shadow of God is the one who helps us dwell and abide within the will of God (Psa 91:1; John 14:26).

Even though Satan was compared by God Himself to be more wise than the prophet Daniel who was the wisest to know and understand all the plans of God for this present age of earth in the Bible (Ezek 28:3), yet when when it comes to Satan knowing the plans of the godly people to attack and destroy their lives, he scores only zero in this. Why? One main thing is because of pride, he has corrupted his wisdom to understand the deep things of God for the future and the present (Ezek 28:17). Now that Satan has been thrown to earth and have become very limited in his wisdom, as the present age of human governments are coming to an end and the kingdom age is taking over it from the spiritual arena to the physical dimension in which the Lord will rule over the entire earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years (Rev 12:10-11, 12-13, 17; Zech 14:9). Praise the Lord!

Only when God allows in His sovereign will for a godly man or a woman of God to be tested by Satan, he will be able to even touch them (Job 1:11-12). And that too Satan cannot go beyond God's command to injure or kill us unexpectedly (Job 2:3, 6-7). Satan is leashed by God and therefore will get chocked automatically when he or his cohorts try to usurp the command of the Lord. God is good to all those who are pure in their heart attitude towards God (Psa 73:1). He will protect their lives from demonic harassment, curses or destruction. When ever we get any kind of trials in our lives, we must understand that the grace of God will be more than enough to face it and overcome for the glory of God (2 Cor 12:9). God will never allow us to be tempted beyond our ability to handle it, and also will always make sure to make a way of escape for all those saints who trust Him to deliver them out of all the evil demonic and satanic influences of sin and the succeeding harassment (1 Cor 10:13; James 1:14-15). The escape route for saints cannot be know by any demons when we are in the will of God because the thoughts of such saints will be ordered by God and will be executed under His protection (Psa 34:19; 37:23). We know how foolishly Satan and his demonic minions crucified the Lord Jesus and got caught in the trap that they spread for Jesus, Paul the apostle said that if the demonic world had known this truth that the death of Jesus would give victory over sin and enslavement of Satan for all people who will believe Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they would not have crucified Jesus on the Cross (1 Cor 2:7-8). The Satanic group rang the death knell for its own demise in crucifying the Lord (Col 2:15). In crucifying Jesus, they destroyed themselves and their authority in the spiritual world over humans.

Another reason that we as God's children can overcome Satanic attacks against us easily by God's grace is because Satan or his minions cannot read our thoughts. They understand our ways only when they see how we react externally and put our thoughts in to action, but as for us at the time of our action within the will of God, we will execute with God's supernatural angelic security standing all around us invisibly (Psa 34:7). All of Satanic hordes cannot break the wall of security that God gives to His children who walk in the will of God. Also, all of God's thoughts are given to us in our deep thoughts and therefore this way is something that no devil can know or understand with their finite ability.

God further revealed in Job 28:10-11 that, "his eye sees every precious thing.....What is hidden he brings forth to light." As God is omniscient to know all things at all times, He will keep telling us about the enemies plan and therefore will burden and tell us to pray to Him about specific things that the evil one has been planning so that we could nullify all of it (Eph 6:18-20). In other words, God chooses not to work without our permission in our lives and we cannot work to success without Him in the spiritual world (John 15:5; Luke 18:1, 7). So just like Elisha revealed the secret of the Syrian enemy king about his plans to attack the people of God every time he planned, so that every time the king of Syria planned to attack the people of God, he became confused and started to look suspiciously at his own servants as the spies who give information to his enemies, in the same way the Holy Spirit will reveal all the strategies of demons and devils against our lives and others around us for prayer, so that each time we will be vigilant enough in prayer, God will crush Satan under our feet by the power of God, each time they come against us (1 Kings 6:8-23; Rom 16:20).

Dear precious saint of God, Pray with me this prayer now : "O Lord, Thank you for that path within the will of God that no demonic bird knows, nor has the Satanic falcon’s eye seen it. Truly the proud lions of demonic power and principalities have not trodden it because it is the high way of holiness that no unclean beings can tread (Isa 35:8; Eph 6:12), nor has Satan the fierce lion passed over it because of his iniquity (1 Peter 5:8; Ezek 28:17-19). I praise you for your omniscience in knowing all things (Psa 50:23). Thank you that you will reveal all the Satanic plans of the enemy and will keep me filled with the spirit of prayer to nullify and make void all the strategies of the evil one. Help me live a life fully pleasing to you my dear Lord! In Jesus wonderful name I pray...AMEN!"

Will Of God And Open Doors, How Does It Correlate?





Can We Find The Will Of God Through Open Doors?


Question : Is open doors one of the way to know the will of God?

Answer : Some times even we can be tested by God through open doors placed before us, so that God can know whether we will presumptuously go ahead to do our own will or ask God and wait for Him to confirm His will
(Prov 1:29-33). Open doors are in itself cannot always be the will of God (Jos 9:14), but if we have waited for God to act by faith and know by conviction that we are walking in the will of God (Prov 20:27; Rom 8:16; 1 Thess 1:5), then open doors can be a confirmation of what God has already spoken to us. To know the will of God we need to give our bodies as a living sacrifice to the Lord and renew our mind with the word of God by obeying it to the level we already know (Rom 12:2; John 7:17), or in other words by dying to our will by denying its impulses (Luke 9:23-24), we must choose to wait on God and expect God to speak to us through His Word and finally allow God to act on behalf of us to fulfill it in His time (Isa 30:18). By doing it, the will of God will unfold in our lives progressively. Thus open doors can be a confirmation of the will of God, but in itself cannot be a way to know the will of God. Much Blessings....

Are Non-Christians Living A Better Family Life Than Chrstians Really?






Is Marital Infidelity Or Self Denial That Causes Divorce?


Question : Many christian marriages come to an end because of non cooperation in sexual matters! What will a man do if his wife does not cooperate? In 2011 - 80 % of the divorce cases filed by Christians in Chennai High Court were of this type. We can't involve in extra marital sex as the word of God blocks it. Non-Christians don't divorce much. They have practical solutions. These things are serious. Every one can't be Jesus. He came for a purpose, we are humans and we have to be honest in our requirements. Simply hiding our inner desires and pretending to be someone spiritual and doing sacrifice will lead to family breakage. Many women dance in the Church, but let them dance before their husbands also. If you ask me which is worse, divorce or to fulfill one's sexual desire freely? I don't know the answer. But now a days I feel Non-Christians are better in family life particularly in India.

Answer : When we are in Love, it is not self that satisfies us, but deep inside selflessness that does satisfies us. So the wives must learn to submit unconditionally to their husbands and the husbands should learn to Love their wives unconditionally as Christ loves the Church
(Eph 5:22, 24-25). Non-cooperation is the nature of all fallen humans, but transformation comes to both the husband and wife to cooperate within the family when Christ is the center of it. Ask pardon for everything, cause we are not perfect. Appreciate all things within the family, every one in someway is looking expectantly from you for appreciation as you are the head of it. Learn to laugh at yourself, because in life relationship matters more than self fulfillment.

Extra marital sex is a serious things that causes breakage in the families of all people, whether believers or unbelievers. Families that get divorced will have lack of love and life of unchastity as the reason behind many divorces. God hates divorce as the very institution of marriage itself belong to Him beyond religion
(Mal 2:14-16). God's principles applied by any person will bring blessings upon their lives. All those who are simply humans can't inherit the kingdom of God without their spirit being born again (John 3:3). So those who are not Christians cannot walk by the Spirit and therefore will fall in to things that will suddenly destroy their families or their soul for eternity (John 3:18). Those who practice life of unchastity will hate the law of God that prevents them to commit adultery not only physically but also mentally by fantasizing about anybody other than one's wife (John 3:20; Deut 5:18; Matt 5:28). Sin is a reproach to any people irrespective of one's faith (Prov 14:34). So no one in the world has got broken families because of staying faithful to their spouses, I can assure you that. Instead the people who were unfaithful to one's spouse were affected with a broken families all over the world. God word can never change and so sin can never be spoken of as a good thing (Matt 24:35). God says, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isa 5:20). May we be obedient to God's ways and eat the good of the land in our generation and in our lifetime (Isa 1:19). God encourages for the couple in covenant to engage in sex as much as they want according to their desires and strength regularly (1 Cor 7:5), but it is the illegal sex that God prohibits which can cause great grief and destruction to one's family life. Whether for a wife to dance before her husband is the choice of a woman and that we cannot comment. Each women are different in their make up and so will be their way of expressing things to their husbands. To dance before the Lord is one's choice and that too we cannot comment and indulge wrongly in to a person's right of expression.

I believe that when the world's way of system influences a Christian to act like a unbeliever, surely their marriage life will be affected to have the same result of divorce rate like them or even higher as the devil will first target Christians and then the unbeliever who are already in his hold
(1 John 5:19). But if a Christian denies himself and takes up his cross to follow the will of God for his life, then the abundant life of Jesus which is full of peace, joy and righteousness will be seen and felt through their family lives (Luke 9:23-24; John 10:10; Rom 14:17).

Much Blessings.... :)

Did Father God Create Or Send Jesus Christ As The First Born?






What Does It Mean By Jesus Was The First Born?


Question : Brother, I have a doubt...What does the Bible mean when it says Jesus was the "first born" over all creation?

Answer : Actually the phrase
"first born over all creation" has been used by Apostle Paul in context to describe Jesus as the Creator of all things which can be none other than God Himself in Col 1:15-17, "15 He [i.e. Jesus Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist."

Here in the above verse Apostle Paul uses the phrase "He is the image of the invisible God" to describe that Jesus was the exact replica of God in human flesh and therefore He is an uncreated being who has the very reason for existence in Himself. And then when He continues the verse 15 saying, "the firstborn over all creation," actually he is saying that Jesus Christ is the one who was present as alpha which is the beginning infinity in Greek alphabet, to represent His supreme authority over all his creations, and the beginning of existence of Jesus Christ as something unknown to all his creations. Some people take the word 'first born' to literally interpret it as proving that Jesus was born first to Father God in the entire universe. But the basic principle of hermeneutics they miss, thus to misinterpret the context to mean something that the writer did not mean. Many cults have propagated this false interpretation to mislead and destroy the faith of many many people who have been deceived by them.

When a Jew in the time of Paul if he had heard the word "first born" through the mouth of a Rabbi [i.e. religious teacher about God] like Apostle Paul, instantly he would understand that Paul was speaking about the Almighty God who is an uncreated being whose very reason of existence is in Himself. The Jews called God Almighty as the first born because before all things were created only God was born and was existing.

Similarly Christ, as “the firstborn of all creation” (Col 1:15), is not only prior to it in time, but above it in power and authority. As the succeeding verse reveals, “All things have been created through him, and unto him” (Col 1:16), which means Jesus Christ is “sovereign Lord over all creation by virtue of the right of succession belonging to the firstborn child” as He is the only begotten Son of the Father God who came in the flesh to this earth (John 3:16; 1 John 4:2). The baby Jesus was born in the womb of Mary, but the resident in that body was God the Son [i.e. the uncreated being] who came in to this world to die for sinners and save them from their sin (Isa 9:6; John 8:58; Heb 10:5-7; Luke 19:10; Mark 10:45). It clearly denotes His status and character and not His origin; the context does not admit the idea that He is a part of the created universe.

So in His incarnation He is brought into the world as “firstborn,” and God summons all His angels to worship Him (Heb 1:6; Luke 2:8-20). In His resurrection He is “firstborn from the dead” (Col 1:18) or “of the dead” (Rev 1:5), the origin and prince of life who rose again to immortality as a human being (1 Cor 15:53-54, 57; 1 Tim 2:5). And finally He is “firstborn among many brethren” (Rom 8:29) in the consummation of God’s purpose and plan of grace which was pre-planned before all creation (Eph 1:4; 1 Peter 1:20; Rev 13:8), when all the elect are gathered home (John 14:3; 1 Thess 4:14-17). Not only is He their Lord, but also their pattern, God’s ideal Son and men are “foreordained to be conformed to (his) image” (Rom 8:29). When we believed Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we all became God's sons in Christ Jesus (John 1:12; Gal 3:26). From that time onward, momentarily by our individual choice we become transformed in our soul to act like Jesus as we had already been made new in His image on the inside of us (1 Cor 15:49; 2 Cor 5:17; Eph 4:23-24; Rom 12:1-2).

In the New Testament, Jesus was the first-born (Pro-totokos.Greek) of his mother Mary in the natural as human (Mt. 1:25; Lk. 2:7), but as God spiritually, Jesus is the first-born [i.e. human replica] of his heavenly Father by virtue and origin [i.e. He was God the Son in existence for eternity] (John 14:9; 6:41-42; 8:42, 58), resurrection [as immortal human of the new creation] and in the status of inheritance among God's children as Jesus suffered on earth to learn obedience to will of the Father God and finally sat at the right hand of Father God as a reward for walking in the perfect will of God (Heb 5:8; Rev 3:21; Php 2:5-11; Psa 89:27; Heb 1:6). As Jesus Himself humbled to become a man and raised the status of all God's people, both living and dead saints in Christ Jesus, can be described as the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, since they share the privileges of the Son (Heb. 12:23).

Much Blessings....

What Is It In The Nature Of A Sexual Sin That Makes Paul Highlight This As Being Against A Man's Body?






Why Sexual Immorality Is A Sin Against Our Own Body Unlike Other Sins?


Question : Please help me to understand this. Why are sexual sins specified by Paul as being the only sins against his body? Why not, for example, drugs or alcohol? And what is it in the nature of a sexual sin that makes Paul highlight this as being against a man's body?

Answer : All sins are detriment to good spiritual health and
"all unrighteousness is sin" (1 John 5:17). Paul the apostle says, "16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." (1 Cor 6:16-18). The above verses clearly shows that once we get married with a woman, though we are two different personalities and may even be from two different background, yet once the marriage covenant is done before God, there comes a mystical spiritual union between the husband and wife in such a way that the two become one in purpose, mind and desire in God. God comes in between them and joins them in this supernatural mystical union. This union goes on to such a level spiritually that according to God He considers both the husband and wife as one flesh, which Adam also confessed when he saw God bring Eve to him for marriage thus saying, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." (Gen 2:23). Just like when a human is spiritually joined to the Lord God in the spirit man interpenetratively within after he/she is born again (John 3:3-8), in the same way because a woman is taken out of man initially, they are both joined in the flesh as one unit before God.

A believer in Jesus is spiritually like he is married to God because of a mystical spiritual union within his heart which always thinks inline with the
"mind of Christ" (1 Cor 2:16). When a man commits adultery or fornication, he destroys the unit which God sees as one and joins himself in rebellion to God with the harlot's body just for his lust to be fulfilled momentarily. But the spiritual consequence of the physical unfaithfulness will cost the person who commits adultery with lack of joy, peace, righteousness within his soul as the blessing of God will be wasted with the harlot (Rom 14:17). Or in other words, when a physical union happens each time, a piece of one's soul and emotions that accompany one's life will get attached to the person with whom the physical intercourse is done. This is the reason the Bible says, "Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul." (Prov 6:32). The soul is so interconnected with our body in such a way that if "we have a sound heart, it is life to the body" (Prov 14:30) and anxiety in the heart of man causes depression which is the number one reason for all untimely death (Prov 12:25). So each person who commits adultery is fragmenting his soul and losing it for nothing but a momentary satisfaction that haunts enough to cause perpetual dissatisfaction.

The man or woman who commits adultery is also losing the mystical spiritual unity with their spouse that God has set before them from the time of marriage, and therefore will experience great difficulty in their married life. For the problems that come in marriage, each person in it should humble before God and confess their unfaithfulness towards their spouse in their thoughts, desires and body before God to receive forgiveness, and be restored by the grace of God
(1 John 1:7, 9).

All other sins a believer might do like for example, drugs or alcohol, etc... as they indulge in it progressively, will destroy and defile their body in general which is the temple of the living God, God has definitely promised to allow destruction of evil to destroy the adamant unrepentant saint with the same thing they have used to create froth and frolic, as God cannot be mocked
(1 Cor 3:16-17; Gal 6:7). When a saints is caught in the bondage of sins without repentance, it will be the biggest judgment upon him as he will feel miserable without the tangible Presence of God. When believers sows evil seed in to their own lives which destroys their body by sinning through non-sexual sins, soon over a period of time, when the Lord lifts up His hand of protection over their lives, soon they will experience bondage and emptiness within their soul (Matt 12:43-45), and their bodies will be affected by the effects of sin which they have indulged in, thus God cannot be mocked because He makes all reap what they have sowed wrongly in to their own life which belongs to God, and destroys the disobedient and rebellious children for having destroyed God's temple which is their own body (Gal 6:7; 1 Cor 3:17; Heb 4:4-6). God expects the saints to resist the lure of sin and wants them to give their bodies to Him as a living sacrifice to fulfill His plan and purpose for their lives through serving Him with gratefulness for having saved them from sin (James 1:12; 4:7; Heb 1:9; Rom 12:1-2).

The nature of a sexual sin that makes Paul highlight this as being against a man's body is the mysterious union that is set by God upon a couple who are in marital covenant between them. This one flesh and bone blessing of unity will be destroyed by the adulterer as God Himself will judge each unchastice man and woman with a broken soul which will directly affect the health of his/her body, as the institution of marriage belongs to Him and Him alone
(Gen 2:23-25; Heb 13:4). The joyous mystical union with in marriage is a gift that God has given to all those who are faithful before Him to their own partners (Eccl 5:18-20; 6:3; Prov 5:18-19, 21-22; 30:18-20).

God also judges people bodily through various diseases that contract people who indulge in illegal sexual activity. There are more people who have received sexually transmitted disease in a moment when they committed adultery and fornication which they were not able to reverse, and have thus caused regret for them and their whole family. AIDS is another type of disease that mainly spreads when a person breaks his marital covenant before God and indulge in intercourse outside of one's marriage. It has killed more people than any other deadly disease in the last hundred years and is without doubt a big judgment upon the whole end of end times generation and humanity as a whole. The breaking of the one flesh and bone in the mystical union of marriage which God has created and set in to force is that which Paul the apostle warns saying that the one who "
commits sexual immorality sins against his own body [which includes his soulish blessedness in his marital life and the oneness in purpose, desire and mind with his wife within marriage]."

Are We Indebted To God Or Not Scripturally?






Is Being Indebted To God A Negative Thing?


Question : I heard a sermon on how we are not indebted to God for what He did for us on the cross. The cross was a free gift. We can never repay that debt, but He didn't die for us so we would be indebted to Him. He didn't die because we couldn't pay our debt, He died for us because we didn't even want to pay it! We don't live for God to pay Him back for what He's done, but because we know what incredible things He has in store for those who are faithful. This is why people give gifts anonymously, so no one feels indebted to us for our free gift!

I guess my fear is that people view being indebted to God as a negative thing. When speaking to friends who don't believe I try to avoid that explanation because they don't understand that it is not out of bondage, but gratitude that we serve God. The crucifixion can be misunderstood as something God holds over our heads, but I suppose that would come from the point of view if someone who doesn't understand God's great love for them and their worth to Him.

Answer : You are right in some of the points, but in being indebted to the Lord, the word of God says,
"For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." (1 Cor 6:20). In other words, this verse is saying, as we were bought with a great price of the blood of Jesus, we are indebted to glorify God in our body and spirit.

Knowing that we cannot be able to pay back our debt which have been the wages of all our sins even if we work our whole life and sacrificially be spent for God, should make us realize that God has unconditionally forgiven us out of His Love for us
(Prov 10:12; Eph 4:32; Col 3:13). Hence Love should make us serve for God and do His will for our lives. When we Love God with all our heart, then knowing our unworthiness in the midst of it will only make us to be grateful and thankful towards God (1 John 4:19-21). Being indebted to God makes our life easy because if we choose to live as God's bond servants (Gal 1:10), God will take care of all our needs supernaturally (Php 4:19). You are right that someone who does not understand His great love as a unbeliever will see crucifixion as something that God holds over their head. It is nice point you have brought out.

Will Our Fleshly Desire Of Sin Nature Leave Us Once We Die Physically?





Does The Increase In The Revelation Of The Cross Make Us Die To Flesh Completely Forever?



Question : I believe I died once for all in Christ but the apostle Paul said I should put to death my members of sin and I also believe that as the revelation of the Cross increases in me, that is when the dying process is active until the Cross consumes all the desires of the flesh in me! Brother, what do you think? Isn't it the process to true deliverance? May the Father reveal to you more in Jesus name. I also add that we have no promise to death, the flesh will be present of course, but not till we die but till we are changed into our promised body of glory !

Answer : Greetings to you in Jesus name! You should understand that the flesh will be present until we die, but the more we choose to lift up our cross of the will of God that God has planned through every circumstances of our life, the more we will be see the resurrection power acting through us and keeping the flesh powerless over us
(Luke 9:23-24). So we need to die by faith daily (1 Cor 15:31), moment by moment and thus we will be overcomers over the flesh (Rom 13:14; Gal 5:16; 1 John 5:4). The Cross slays the old man and the revelation of the Cross will increase as we choose to walk by faith and not by sight.

Once we die, our soul and spirit will go on to be with the Lord, but the flesh and the desires of this present body will decay in the earth from which it has come
(2 Cor 5:8; Rom 7:5; Gen 3:19). Our natural body is subject to death because of sin operating in its make up after the fall of humans through the one sin of our forefather Adam (Rom 8:10; 5:12). As the physical body with its sinful desire is discarded on earth, the sin nature cannot continue in us or else we will not be able to enter heaven as in the Old Testament days. When Jesus died for us, by His once sacrifice we have all been perfected forever as we are being sanctified as long as we are present here on earth (Heb 10:14). As we are made new creatures on the inside of us the moment Jesus saved us, we have been made worthy in the Lord to go to heaven (2 Cor 5:21). Till we die we will have sin nature within us, the denial of it is a sign of living in deception and also will be a lie against God (1 John 1:8, 10). Jesus on the day of rapture will ultimately “rescue [us] from this body of death [by giving all of us a new sinless immortal body]. Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:24-25).

Just follow closely the following passages of Scriptures,
"4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin." (Romans 6:4-7). Our old fleshly soulish man has died according to God and have been buried in Christ, as a result of it we now have the ability to live an overcoming life over flesh by faith, but as we see in the above verse 6, "our body of sin will be done away" naturally when we die physically. So we will not carry our sin nature to heaven after our death. But our soul will be controlled by our new natured spirit man which is under the perfect control of the Holy Spirit once we die, and we will ever be with the Lord through His Presence living in us perfectly (Php 1:23). At the end of our faith life on earth, we receive the salvation of our souls as we will be freed from the tyranny of our sin nature forever and ever (1 Peter 1:9). A new glorious immortal body in which we will live forever is already prepared for us in heaven in which we will rise up on the day of rapture (2 Cor 5:1). The new body will be a sin free meta physical spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:42-45), this body will be raised from the earth through the power of God and will become imperishable forever (1 Thess 4:14-18).

So the bottom line is that once we die, the new nature completely takes control of our soul and therefore we cannot sin and will have no such desire after we enter heaven any more. The death to self and sin is a battle the Lord has given us to wage only until we die, so that we can choose to live in the perfect will for the glory of God and also for a great reward for us in the days to come
(Eph 4:21-24; Rom 12:1-2).

Much Blessings....

About

apostolicrevelation.blogspot.com is one of the world's fast growing popular Bible study websites, attracting thousands of visitors daily from all around the world. We follow a unique revelatory apostolic seer writing from the Scripture with Rapture taking place any time after Mid-Point but before Great Tribulation begins through Antichrist, we use dispensational interpretation of Scripture and believe the Bible teaches salvation by grace through faith alone, and the eternal security of believers. We will focus mainly on apostolic teaching that will edify, equip and empower the saints to reach their full potential in Christ Jesus. Our goal is the edification, evangelism and empowerment of the last day Church that the Lord Jesus Christ is raising up before His triumphant return!
