| Weapons Of Wisdom “The Last Enemy” By Christopher J. Hardwick 1 Cor 15:21-27 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For He has put all things under His feet." NKJV The Last Enemy that will be defeated according to this scripture will be death. But in reality death has already been defeated by Jesus. Let’s look closer at this scripture. Verse 22 says in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. The question is Do you identify with Adam or Jesus? The obvious answer should be Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the first fruits of resurrection of the dead. Jesus has already conquered sin and death. However this scripture calls death the last enemy. We have to treat death as an enemy! Why? Because it is trying to kill you! When you think about it every sickness comes from the root of the spirit of death. Therefore if death is an enemy, we must become aggressive in our dealings against it! When some form of sickness comes upon you, you must become aggressive in the authority that Jesus has already bought and paid for and treat it as an enemy and put it under your feet! According to verse 26, All things will be put under His feet. Since we are the body of Christ, this means this last enemy called death will be put under our feet! Rom 16:19-20 For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. NKJV It’s time for us to realize what our true authority is, because the God of peace will crush satan under our feet shortly! |
