1. Introduction

We are dealing with the almost unknown fact of our identification with Christ.
Soon you'll ask: What does 'Identification' mean?
It means our complete union with Christ in His substitute sacrifice.
For example, this term is used: "I WAS CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST".
This is our identification with Christ in His Crucifixion.
I died WITH CHRIST.
I was buried WITH CHRIST.
I suffered WITH CHRIST.
Now I am sitting WITH HIM.
This small preposition 'with' is the key that unlocks a long-held truth.
hidden time that is of vital importance to us.
The first two or three chapters of this booklet will guide you to the Antechamber of the greatest
Revelation of God related to the New Creation.

Chapter One

THE IDENTIFICATION LAW

The teaching on IDENTIFICATION is the Legal Side of our Redemption. It gives us


reveals what GOD has done in CHRIST for us, since the time He went to the
cross, until He sat at the right hand of the Father.

The vital side of our Redemption is what the Holy Spirit, through the Word, is
doing in us now.
Several times Paulo uses the preposition 'with' in relation to his teaching.
substitutive.

I have been crucified WITH CHRIST - Galatians 2:20

Then he tells us that he "died WITH CHRIST", that he was "buried WITH
CHRIST.
This gives us the key that unlocks the great teaching of Identification.

Christ became "one" with us in sin, so that we could become "one".


with Him in Justice,

He became like we were, so that we could be like He is now.


He became one with us in death, so that we could be one with Him in
life.
There is a dual unity:

1st - Your unity - with our sin on the cross;


2nd - our unity - with Him in His Glory on the throne

And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus." - Ephesians 2:6

He became like we were, so that we could become like He is.


He died to make us live.
He was made sin to make us righteous.
He became weak to make us strong.

He suffered shame to give us glory.
He went to hell in order to take us to heaven.
He was condemned in order to justify us.
He was made sick so that the healing could be ours.
He was cast out from the presence of God in order to make us welcomed in His presence.
of God.

In the identification phase, we have one of the richest phases of Redemption.

Second Chapter

CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST

When Paul said, 'I have been crucified with Christ,' he meant that he had been
judged, cast out, stripped bare, and nailed to the cross.
The mere thought of crucifixion for a Jew, especially for a Pharisee,
brought a feeling of shame and horror.
When Saul of Tarsus identified himself with the man, Jesus, accepting Him as his
Salvador, confessing Him as his Lord, at that moment he became a
man crucified for the Jewish people.
He became an outcast.
It is therefore not surprising what he said in Galatians 6:14 that "the world had been
crucified for him and he for the world.
The world had been stripped bare for Saul.
There were no more illusions about the world.
He could no longer be fooled.
He knew of her cruelty.
He had felt his lashes on his back.
He remembered that everywhere he went he faced anger, bitterness, and envy.
of the men.
He had been exposed to the world.
There was nothing in him that the world could desire.
This little Jew with his powerful message, and his tremendous power in
prayer, had been crucified for the world.
We understand what the crucifixion really means.
Paul saw his identification with Christ in his crucifixion.
We understand that crucifixion means death.
It means union with Christ in His disgrace and suffering.
Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body
that sin may be undone, so that we may no longer serve sin as slaves
Romans 6:6
The crucifixion points the way to death.
6
In the great argument of the Spirit of our Identification with Christ, He said that the
our old man, this hidden man of the heart, our spirit, the man
true that was filled with spiritual death, with the Satanic nature, was
nailed to the cross in Christ.
Christ went there, not for Himself, not as a martyr, but as the Substitute.
We were crucified with Christ.
We were crucified with Him.
The goal of the crucifixion in the minds of the crowd was to get rid of this Man who
they hated.
In the mind of Justice, this means His identification with humanity in its
sin and suffering, and our Identification with Him in His crucifixion.

Chapter Three

HE WAS MADE SIN

In the great drama of our Redemption, as soon as Christ was nailed to the cross, with His
crown of thorns, and with that shouting mob surrounding Him, Justice began to
to do your frightening work behind the scenes.
Men and women, with the knowledge of the senses, who surrounded the cross could
only see the man Jesus, hanging there.
God could see His spirit.
Angels could see His spirit.
The demons could see the true man, hidden in that body.
Then came the terrible hour when it was fulfilled:
He who knew no sin, made sin for us; so that in him we might become.
"he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us" - II Corinthians 5:21

But he was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities;
the punishment that brings us peace was upon him, and by his stripes, we were healed.
We all wandered off like sheep; each one turned aside by his own
path, but the Lord laid upon him the iniquity of us all.
6

On that dreadful cross, He not only became sin, but He also became
a curse, because Galatians 3:13 informs us:
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" (the word "we" here
it refers to the Jews.
He came as a Jew under the First Covenant to redeem all those who
they were under that Covenant of the curse of the Law.
When He was hanging on that cross, He was not only sin, but He was
a curse.
It is not surprising that God turned His back on Him
It is no wonder that He cried out in His agony: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
"Did you abandon me?" – Mark 15:24
He had taken the place of the sinner in the judgment.
All the forces of darkness crushed Him.
8
He was our Substitute for sin.
The sin was not charged to him. The sin was not debited to his account. He became-
there is sin

Our senses spin beneath this staggering thought.


We cannot assimilate it.
Only our spirits can probe the depths of your agony.
We can hear Paul cry out in Philippians 3:10 - "To know him (that I may
may know him), and the virtue (power) of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
afflictions, being made according to his death.
Paul's prayer amazes us.
He wanted to share in the agonies of Christ's death.
He wanted communion with His sufferings.
But Paulo could not do that.
Nobody could do this.
No angel could do that.
It was the very work of God that had to be fulfilled.
When He delivered His Son to death. He unveiled an indescribable love.

Fourth Chapter

HE WAS MADE SICKNESS

The next step in this terrible drama is found in Isaiah 53:3-5 ([Link].):
He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.
with the disease and like one from whom men hid their faces, it was
despised; and we did not take any notice of him. Truly he took upon himself
he took our illnesses and our pains upon himself, and we considered him afflicted,
wounded by God, and oppressed.
It was not what the Roman soldiers or the angry crowd did. It was what God
fez.
This shakes us when we realize that He was afflicted and wounded by God with our
pains and with our sin.
He bore the diseases and afflictions of the human race.
Isaiah 53:10 - "Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he has put him to grief."

He was not made only sin and separated from His Father, until His broken heart
he cried out: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" but the diseases of the race
humans fell upon Him.
Isaiah 52:14 (Margin, Cross Reference Bible):
As many were astonished at his sight, and princes trembled because of Him,
they were astonished and shocked and scared, because His appearance was so
disfigured, more than anything else, so deformed was his appearance
that no longer resembled a man.
This was spiritual suffering.

This was when the hidden man of the heart became not only sin, but
illness.
This was the spiritual side of the agony of the cross.

This was when our sin and diseases were laid upon His spirit.
Your spirit was made sin.
Your spirit has been weakened.
10
If our heart could only observe this fact that He was made sin and
that we were identified with Him on the cross, so we could understand the
reality of Your substitute work.
This truth has been a doctrine rather than a reality for most of us.
God not only placed our sin upon Him, but He also placed us.
about Him.
The whole man was involved in this sacrifice: his spirit, soul, and body.
We were nailed to the cross with Him and in Him.

Our diseases were part of Him.


When the heart recognizes this truth, it will be the end of the dominion of disease.

Because He was made sick with our illnesses Satan has no


no legal right to place diseases upon us in the NAME OF JESUS
podemos nos libertar do poder de Satanás.
It is true, we possess our mortal bodies, but this mortal body is filled with
life of God.
... so that the mortal may be swallowed up by life
Because sin shall not have dominion over us..." - Romans 6:14
So little will disease and pain have dominion over us.
We now see that Satan has lost his dominion, he can no longer inflict disease.
about us.
We understand that the disease is spiritual. It manifests in our physical bodies.
with a disease.
The world sees illness in our body, God sees illness in our spirit.
God heals us through His Word
It is the word that heals our spirits.
It is the word that creates us anew.
It is the word that produces faith.

It is the word that reveals what we really are in Christ: New Creatures
It is the word, then, that brings healing to our sick spirits.
The illness is a spiritual condition manifested in the physical body.
If He was made sin, if He took away our sin, we no longer need to be.
dominated by sin.
11
If He was afflicted with our infirmities, and if He took our diseases,
we no longer need to be dominated by disease.
We, with our diseases and infirmities, were nailed to the cross with Christ.
When we recognize this, we will no longer need to strive to obtain faith or the
justice and holiness, because we will know that we were nailed to the cross and died with
We were buried with Him, we suffered with Him, we were revived with Him, we were
justified with Him, we were revitalized with Him, we were justified with Him,
we conquered Satan with Him, we were raised with Him, and finally, we were
settled with Him.
The entire program of that substitute sacrifice is made real in us by the Spirit
through the Word. All these things are ours now.

Chapter Five

WE DIE WITH HIM

Jesus died twice on the cross.

I knew this for many years, but I had no biblical evidence.


One day I discovered Isaiah 53:9 the answer to my long search:
And they put his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his deaths...

The word 'death' is in the plural in Hebrew.


Many of you who have Bibles with marginal notes may notice this. This
Yes, Jesus died two deaths on the cross: He died spiritually before dying.
physically.
He said in John 10:18 that no one could take His life from Him: 'No one takes it away.'
of me, but I give it of myself...

He could not be killed. He could not die.


Why? Because His body was not mortal.
Jesus had a body like Adam's before he sinned.
It was a perfect human body, not mortal - Immortal.
It was a body that could not die until sin had taken hold of His.
spirit.
In other words, Jesus had to die spiritually before He could
to die physically.
If the body of Jesus had been like yours and mine, then He was not God, He was not
he was a substitute, and would not have died for our sins. He would have died
merely as a martyr.
But if He had a body like the body of the first Adam, which was not mortal, did He not
subject to death (this means not subject to Satan), because He was God.
In our last chapter, we saw the man nailed to the cross with Christ.
In this we see that the human race died with the Crucified.
13
Paul says: "If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him"
(Romans 6:8 and II Timothy 2:11)
In these passages, we notice that we died with Christ when He died.
He was our substitute.
We were one with Him on the cross.
We were one with Him in His death.
He died under our judgment, in our place.
He died because He was made sin.
If we accept Him, there will be no judgment for us.

Yet, it pleased the Lord (Jehovah) to crush him, making him sick;
when His soul shall offer itself for sin, He shall see His seed,
He will prolong the days, and the good pleasure of the Lord (Jehovah) will prosper in His hand.
He will see the work of His soul and will be satisfied; with His knowledge, the
my servant, the righteous, shall justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities
Yes. For I will give him a portion of many, and with the mighty he shall divide the spoil.
spoil; because we poured out His soul unto death, and He was counted with the
transgressors; but He took upon Himself the sin of many, and for the transgressors
interceded
Isaiah 53:10-12
This looks very much like the Pauline Revelation, doesn’t it?
The Pauline Revelation is an unveiling of what happened from the moment when
Jesus was made sin on the cross until He sat at the right hand of God.
Nowhere else can we find such knowledge.
This is replacement.
This is absolute identification.
This is part of the great substitutive truth in prophecy.
He poured out His life unto death.
Through that death, we were made alive.
It was our sin that killed Him.
It is Your justice that gives us life.

He drank the cup of death so that we could drink the cup of life.
14
In that powerful ministry before He had risen from the dead, He destroyed
the lord of death.
When death killed Him, it killed itself.
He conquered sin when He allowed sin to dominate Him.
He defeated Satan when He allowed Satan to dominate Him.
He overcame the disease when He allowed the disease to possess Him.
He became one with Satan in spiritual death, to make us one with God in
spiritual life.
To him who knew no sin, he made sin for us; so that we might be in him.
the righteousness of God” - II Corinthians 5:21
He became one with us in weakness, in sickness, and in spiritual death, so that He
made us one with You in Justice, in perfect health and communion with the Father.
He became a prisoner of death in order to free us.
In the mind of justice, we die to sin and its dominion when we die.
with Christ.
for he who has died has been justified from sin
He is free from the dominion of spiritual death.
At the crucifixion, there was in God's mind a perfect unity of Christ with us, and in the
Resurrection and in the New Birth a perfect unity of ours with Christ. Thus
as Jesus conquered death by submitting to it, we conquer Satan in the
New Creation, submitting ourselves to the Lordship of Jesus.

We and our infirmities were laid upon Him and became part of Him.
when He became sin with our sin.
We are healed by being partakers of His divine nature.
Disease and illness do not belong to the New Creation.
It is an abnormal thing in the mind of the Father for a son or daughter of God to be ill.
We died with Him.
We die to the dominion of sin.
We die to the dominion of disease.
We die to the dominance of circumstances and habits.
15
1 Peter 2:24 becomes reality - 'He himself bore our sins in his body
sins upon the wood, so that dead to sins, we could live
for justice; and by his wounds you were healed
This is Identification, our complete unity with Him in sin and in judgment in
cross.
"For the dead to sin." Your death and our death are identical, This
it is not your physical death.

This is spiritual.
He died twice there.
He participated in our spiritual death. We were completely one with Him at that
judgment.

So that dead to sin, we could live for righteousness

Oh, that we could partake in His justice as He participated in our sins,


so that we could be just as He became sin with ours
sins.
Then the next wonderful sentence - 'By His wounds you have been healed.'
He not only took our sinful nature, but also took our diseases.
He took our diseases upon Himself; He cast them out when He cast out the
sin.
By his stripes we were healed.
This is electrifying. As He took upon Himself our sin and our
diseases becoming sin and sickness for us, thus we also participate
from His justice and healing when we accept the work He has done for us.
Christ died once and for all as our substitute for sin.
He fulfilled the demands of justice on our behalf during the trial.
He took them with Him when He went to the substitute place, the place of judgment, the
place of suffering.
I am convinced that the Father sees us in Christ as perfect, just like the work.
Jesus' finishing is perfect.
We were one with the devil.
He (the Father) placed our spiritual death upon Christ.
16
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus...

This work was carried out by the great Master Builder, CHRIST, before He appeared.
of the dead.
The Father sees us now in all our beauty and perfection in Christ.
This beauty is all yours. He created us to please His own heart.
We died to sin once and for all in Christ.
We die to the dominion of Satan.
We die to the old habits that kept us in slavery.
We don't need to die again.
The theory that we die daily with Christ comes from the ancient version: "I am
crucified. And incorrect.
The passage in 1 Corinthians 15:31 speaks of Paul living in the presence of physical death, of the
expectation of being thrown to the lions in the arena.

We die only once with Christ.


Agora vivemos com Ele, agora reinamos com Ele.
His perfect redemption is ours.
Your perfect justice is ours.
Everything He is and has done is ours.
Everything we are is His.
The Father made us one with Himself in Christ.
17
Chapter Six

WE WERE BURIED WITH HIM

We have seen how He became sin with our sin. He became our
Substitute, carrying our illnesses.
We have seen Him under the dominion and absolute power of the adversary on the cross.
We saw Him leave the cross taking our diseases and sins as He went.
taken to the confinement site.
We can see the gratification of Satan.
We can see that great celebration in Hell when Satan brought Jesus,
captive, to prison.
Read Acts 2:24, 27, 31 and 32
But God raised him, releasing the pangs of death, because it was not possible that
might have been held by her..

for you will not abandon my soul to death, nor will you allow your Holy One to see decay
corruption...

In this prediction about the resurrection of Christ, it was said that his asthma was not left in the
death, neither did your flesh see corruption. God raised this Jesus, of whom
we are all witnesses
Do you remember how the Philistines rejoiced over Samson, and with what joy
they blinded him and tied him up in complete helplessness.
What a gala day it must have been in Hell when He who had raised Lazarus
of the dead, who had destroyed the power of death and disease, who had dominated
the winds and the waves, which had fed the hungry, cast out demons, and
defeated Satan in open combat, was conquered and made one with the devil.
He was hospitalized.
They could see in Him all the diseases of the ages.
What a moment that must have been.

When the disciples took His body down from the cross, they embalmed it and placed it in the
tomb of Joseph, how little they appreciated what He was undergoing and
suffering.
18
How little the world appreciated where Jesus was and what He was doing.
They placed His body in the tomb, and the Roman government sealed it and put guards.

Israel.
For three days and three nights, the Lamb of God was our Substitute in Hell.
He was there for us. He took our pains and diseases and iniquities.
He was there waiting until the demands of the Justice were met.
There has never been such an hour, and there will never be again.

There had to be an appropriate meeting of the penalty for the transgressions of the race
human, and He went to meet her.
He became one with Satan when He became sin, just as we do now.
we become one with Him when we are RECREATED.
19

Seventh Chapter
HE SUFFERED

He endured everything that humanity should suffer. It was God suffering for the
humanity.
Psalm 88:6,7 in the margin of the 'Cross-Reference Bible' says:
You have placed me in the deepest of the abyss, in darkness and in the depths.

"Your wrath weighs upon me; you have brought me down with all your waves." "Before you
I have cried out day and night, My God, and you have not listened to me.
Because my soul is full of anguish, and my life is drawing near to
grave. I am already counting on those who go down to the pit; I am like a man without
forces (without God)

The mind cannot accept this.

I am distressed and about to die since my youth; when I suffer your


terrors, I get disturbed.
Your burning anger against me is passing, your terrors make me
perish
You took away from me friends and companions; my close friends
now there are darkness (in place of the darkness)

FOUR DIVINE ATTRIBUTES SEEN IN HELL

Then came the most extraordinary part of Christ's suffering. He shouted:

Will you show your wonders to the dead?

Your Power was displayed


He made them see the horror of sin and the absolute justice of God.
Your Love displayed
More than that, He demonstrated the goodness of God. He said: 'Your...
benevolence in the grave...?
20
3) Your Eternal Fidelity was displayed
or your fidelity (kindness) in destruction (loss)? (V.11)

Your Justice was displayed


And your justice in the land of forgetfulness?

They saw Jesus who was made sin with our sin, made as righteous as He.
It was before He was made sin.
Upon seeing him made just, Satan witnessed the fact that justice was made possible.
for the human person in the New Creation.
Christ was vivified right there in the kingdom of death.

He was called 'The firstborn from the dead.' God said to Him: 'You are My
Son, today I have given birth to you.

As the hosts of hell saw Him born from death. They witnessed the triumph of
God, and the unmatched glory of Christ.
It was not a kindness of Him to have given us this graphic figure not only of His death and
suffering, but also of His triumph and His glory?
Through Eternity, in the archives of the Supreme Court of the Universe, there will be records
from the visit of the Son to hell, from the defeat of Satan, and from the legal Redemption of man.
They saw Him freeing Himself from principalities and powers.

They saw him paralyze Satan's ability to inflict death.


They saw him conquer the forces of the Dark Leader.
They saw Him strip Satan of the authority and dominion which he had
stolen from Adam in the garden.

They knew it was the victory of the NEW CREATION.


They saw when we became alive in Him, justified with Him, raised with
They, made winners with Him.
Revelation 1:17-18 was your song of victory:
I am the first and the last and the one who lives and was dead but behold, I am alive forever
all the time. And I have the keys of death and hell
21

Eighth Chapter

LIVING WITH HIM

And when you were dead in your sins, and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, you
made alive together with Him" - Colossians 2:13
"While we were still sinners, He made us alive together with Christ"
Ephesians 2:5
This is the heart of Redemption.
For if we have been planted (united) with him in the likeness of his fate, so also
we will be in the likeness of his resurrection" - Romans 6:5

Here we witness the miracle of Eternities. This happened in that chain.


subterranean of death. Jesus was revived.
... the promise made to the fathers, God fulfilled it to us their children, resurrecting
to Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm: 'You are my son, today I have begotten you.'
Acts 13:32-33
Paul by the Spirit, gave us Colossians 1:18:
And he is the head of the body, the church, he is the beginning and the FIRSTBORN AMONG

THE DEAD; so that he may have supremacy in everything


He was dead with our luck. He suffered twice: spiritually and physically.
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to
to lead us to God; mortified, indeed, in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit

This was not the Holy Spirit; it was His spirit. What a transformation it must have been.

How the foundations of that terrible place must have shaken when they saw Him.
living tornado, breaking the stakes of spiritual death, and casting out from Himself the
powers of death that had overcome Him on the cross.
Now we can understand Ephesians 2:10 - 'For we are his workmanship, created in'
Christ Jesus...
When were we created? In the mind of justice, it was when Jesus was created there in
below
It was then that the Church was truly born in God.

Ninth Chapter

HE WAS MADE JUST

You noticed in the last chapter that He was made alive, and that we were made alive.
with Him in the mind of Justice.
That life was the nature of the Father, and when He received that nature, He was
tornado just again.
Ele tinha sido feito pecado.
At the moment He was made alive, God justified Him.
He was declared Righteous because He met the demands of Justice. He had
satisfied with every demand that existed in the Supreme Court of the Universe against the race
humana.
He was made righteous with the life of God just as we are made righteous in the
New Creation.
He became so just that there was no trace left of sin and diseases that
they had become part of Him in that horrific trial.
He was made so righteous that He could enter the presence of the Father without feeling of
some sin, guilt or inferiority.
When He was made sin, He cried out: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Have you forsaken me?
When He was brought to life, God said of Him: 'You are my son, today I have begotten you' - Hebrews
5:5).
He stood before the angelic hosts as just, so pure, as if He had never.
it would have been a sin.
At the moment He was made Righteous, Elo became the Absolute Monarch of
Universe.
He was the Lord of the underworld. He was the Lord of Satan.
While He was spiritually dead, overflowing with our sins,
Satan ruled over Him.
But when He was made Just, then all of us who accept Him as our
Salvador, whom we confess as our Lord and receive Eternal Life, we are
23
automatically fair tornadoes at that moment, and we can dominate the forces of
Inferno in Your Name.
It is all by grace and not by works. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.
And you put on the new man, which is created according to God in true righteousness and
holiness - Ephesians 4:24
The same Eternal Life or nature of God that made Jesus Christ righteous has been given to us.
granted in the New Birth.
It is not surprising that the Holy Spirit said through John:
As He is, so are we in this world" - 1 John 4:7
Now we can understand II Corinthians 5:21
He who knew no sin, made sin for us; so that in him we might be.
God's justice deeds.
“Para que Ele próprio seja Justo, e a justiça daquele que tem fé em Jesus” - Romanos
3:26 (lateral translation)

God became the righteousness of Jesus, and at the moment we accept Christ as
Salvador, confessing Him as our Lord, believing that God raised Him from
the dead, He becomes our Justice.
Just as He became the Life of Jesus, He becomes the life of the New Creature.
This revolutionary truth will transform the Church when it takes hold of it.
And raised us up together with him and made us sit in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus - Ephesians 2:6
This could never have been part of the Revelation unless you were so just
how much He was.
Don't you realize now what absolute fearlessness this gives you in the presence of all the
species of diseases and of Satan himself?

Don't you realize how bold it makes you feel when you enter His presence? The sense
of unity with Him is real. How was His sense of unity with us when He
sin and sickness were made
Let's rise up and take our place as winners, as conquerors.
Vamos sair e executar a obra que Jesus começou a fazer quando Ele estava aqui.

Tenth Chapter

HE DEFEATED SATAN

This was the greatest event of eternities.


The Eternal Son was justified, made Alive in spirit, and 'stripped off the principalities and
powers, publicly exposing them and triumphed over them in himself.
He triumphed over Satan.
He defeated the hosts of hell.
He stripped Satan of his authority and dominion that he had taken from Adam in the
Fall.
You were with Him when that battle took place.
You were identified with Him.
Just as you were identified with Him when He was crucified, when He
he died, when He was buried, when He was made alive, when He was
justified, you were with Him in that victory over the opponent
It was your victory and not His.
He didn't need to fight that battle: He did it for you.
When He defeated the adversary and stripped him of his authority, in the Father's mind it was
as if you had done that.
You are today lord over Satan, just as Jesus was when He rose from the dead.
dead.
Just as Jesus conquered the adversary during His earthly walk, you
you can defeat him today.

This means your lordship over the works of Satan.


This means that you should carry out the works that Jesus began.
This was the beginning of a New Era.
It is time for us to appreciate what God has done for us in Christ.
It is time for us to appreciate what it means to be a member of the Body of Christ, of
we appreciate the position in which He has placed us and the authority that He has given us

When He defeated Satan, that was our victory.

We are now rightful winners.
We are lords over Satan.

resurrected.
Satan cannot exercise authority over us anymore.
The disease is beneath our feet. We are children of the New Creation.
There is no problem of faith.

We are your children: all things are ours. "All is yours" - 1 Corinthians 3:21
We do not need to have faith for the things that are already ours.

Let's thank Him and go out and enjoy the fullness of this wonderful redemption.

Eleventh Chapter

RAISED WITH HIM

The Resurrection of the Lord Jesus is proof of Satan's defeat, of Redemption of


man and the legal right of God to make the believer a New Creature. Ephesians 1:7 if
stands out with peculiar suggestiveness and comfort:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches
of your grace.
We already have our redemption. It is not something we have to pray for and ask.
At the moment we are born again, at that moment redemption is ours.
The domain of Satan over us ends.
Our life of slavery and fear has come to an end.
This redemption is in accordance with the riches of His grace. We are free!
In previous chapters, we had the opportunity to see the riches of the Father's Grace in His
substitutive work in Christ.
And He raised us up together with Him, and made us sit in the heavenly places in Christ.
Jesus - Ephesians 2:6
We were crucified with Him, we died with Him, we were buried with Him, we suffered with
He, we were justified with Him, we conquered Satan with Him, and we were raised
together with Him.
That victory in the resurrection of Jesus is proof of our victory over the adversary.
It is a proof that cannot be denied. Every person who takes Christ as Savior is, in
mind of God, a winner over the adversary.
How few of the Father's children have realized this tremendous truth; that our victory
is in the victory of Christ.
When Jesus broke the chains of death, having conquered death, Satan and the
Sin, this was our victory.
Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ... and 'we have been raised together with
"Christ" - Colossians 3:1
In the Father's mind, this was our translation from the kingdom of darkness into the
kingdom of the Son of His love. This was our redemption.
We had broken the dominion of Satan over our body, soul, and spirit in
Christ.
27
But perhaps the greatest message of our perfect victory over the opponent is found in
Efésios 1:19-22
"And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the
operation of the strength of your power, which manifested in Christ, raising him from the dead, and
putting it on your right in the heavens, above all principality, power and dominion,
and of every name that is named, not only in this century, but also in the one to come; and
he put all things under his feet, and over all things he appointed him as head of
Church.
The same power that operated in the body of Jesus to revive him and fill him with
Immortality is today in the believer.
We are today more than conquerors because of the life of Jesus that has been transmitted to us in
our New Birth.
It was God's power revealed in the Resurrection that so shook the foundations of
Inferno that today, when the believers know that they have been raised together with
Christ, they know that they are winners in every field over every circumstance, and
they will be able to walk from triumph to triumph.

God has elevated the believer above all rule and authority and power and dominion, not only
in this era, but in the one to come. He put all things in subjection under his feet
of the believer.

He gave Christ, who is the head of the body, as Lord over all the powers of the universe.
Jesus gave the believer the legal right to use His Name.
He actually gave the believer a power of attorney so that in the Name of Jesus every demon
and each power obeyed this Name on the lips of the believer.
There is nothing too difficult for God.
God's ability is the ability that He gives us, thus His resurrection is the proof of
our right to reign over Satan and the demons.
He was raised because He defeated Satan in our place, so that we would not live.
but in fear of the invisible forces of darkness.

Twelfth Chapter

THE HIGH PRIEST

In Matthew 28:5-6, the angel said to the women who had come to finish the
embalming of Jesus on that Lord's morning
... you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen.
As I had said. Come see the place where the Lord lay.
He died a lamb. He resurrected the Lord High Priest of the New Creation.
Do you remember John 20 that says that Mary saw Him? When she found out who He was
then, she fell at his feet.
He said: '... do not stop (touch), for I have not yet ascended to my Father, but go
to my brothers and tell them that I am going up to my Father and your Father, my God and your God.
God" (John 20:17).
What did He mean?
He meant what we read in Hebrews 9:11-12
.. But Christ, the High Priest of good things to come, having passed through the greater and more perfect
tabernacle, not made by hands, that is, not of this creation, nor by the blood of goats
and calves, but by his own blood he entered once (for all) into the sanctuary
(Most Holy Place), having made eternal redemption.
As High Priest. He took his own blood and carried it up there to the
holy heavenly place and there presented him to God.
He was accepted, and that red seal is upon the document of our redemption.
The blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the eternal witness of His work.
finished by us, of our legal right to Life and tenderness, and filiation with all its
privileges.
Based on that blood, we are more than conquerors.
Satan has no dominion over us. His dominion is completely broken. The
The proofs of that victory are continually before the Father.
"So much better is Jesus made the surety" - Hebrews 7:22
If you are in great danger, or if Satan is putting pressure on
you, draw the Father's attention to your rights that are guaranteed in the foundation
of that blood.
29
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death.

You have a legal right to the Name of Jesus that casts out demons and breaks the
power of Satan.
...whatever you ask of my Father in My Name, he will give it to you.
All things are possible to you, because you are part of the family. You have perfection.
protection that the blood provides.
30

Chapter Thirteen
CHRIST SAT DOWN

The climax of Redemption was the seating of the Lord Jesus.

After He was made sin, after He had paid the penalty for our
relationship with Satan, after He had suffered all that justice required of
we, then Christ, together with us, rose from the dead.
We were raised with Him.
He declared that we were seated together with Christ.
And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus - Ephesians 3:6
This was the greatest honor that God had ever bestowed upon man.
The Son became man, identified with the human race, freed the human race
from the authority of Satan, and brought His blood into the Holy of Holies to
to effect the eternal Redemption.

So He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.


We have a man seated at the right hand of God.
He is our representative. He is there to represent us.
This is the supreme event of Redemption, a man seated at the right of
God, and that man is the head of the body - the CHURCH - It is not surprising that
Paul shouts: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
with all kinds of spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians
1:3)
We are not only seated in the highest position, position in the universe, but
we are also blessed with all the spiritual blessings needed for
to maintain our place as a member of Your glorious body.
In God's mind, each of us is now in Christ. He sees us in Him. When we
approaching the Throne of Grace in prayer is as if Jesus himself were going
therefore we go in Your Name.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God
3:3
31
For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by hands, a copy of the true one, but
in the same heaven to now appear for us in the presence of God” - Heb. 9:24
We are hidden from the adversary, but we are visible to the Father.
He is there on the right of the Father as our Representative, as our Lord, as our
Lover, who surrendered for us.
We can perceive that our Redemption is something complete, finished.
If Christ is seated at the right hand of God, it is because the Father accepted Him and accepted what
He did it for us.
The fact that He is seated there is the seal of our acceptance in the Beloved.
32

Fourteenth Chapter

LIBERATING GOD'S ABILITY WITHIN YOU

The most exciting thing I learned about Redemption is the wonderful


God's ability that is in the believer.
We possess the life of God within us.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold
that everything became new” - II Cor.5:17

Note that the believer is a New Creation.


He is created in Christ Jesus.
He is God's work.
This New Creation has become a reality for him because he has received life and
the nature of God.
I have written these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, and so that
You believe in the name of the Son of God" - 1 John 5:13

You can see now, as you read this, that you have within you, if you
For Your Son, the life and nature of God.
In II Peter 1:4 it tells us that we become partakers of the divine nature.
Through which He has given us very great and precious promises, so that by
they become participants in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that
by the lust that is in the world
Jesus emphasizes this with his illustration: "I am the vine, you are the branches" - John 15:5

The purpose of Your coming was so that we would have life, and abundant life.
... I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly
You have received Eternal Life.
That Eternal Life is the nature of the Father just as it was revealed in Christ.
Like a branch of the vine, the same life that is manifested in the vine is flowing.
through you and producing fruit.
It is the life of the vine in you that produces the fruit of love, faith, and joy.
33

You have the Word of God dwelling IN You

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly..." - Col. 3:16


What is she doing there? She is admonishing, she is educating, she is
Training, she is correcting, she is building faith and love in her spirit.
Now, therefore, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace; to him who is
powerful for you to build up and give inheritance among all the sanctified” - Acts 20:32
It is the word that builds us up.

And it is the word that makes us know our heritage.


And the word that unveils our relationship with God our Father.
And it is the word that makes us know our rights and privileges in Christ.
Do you remember that it was the words of Christ that healed most of the people who
did they come to Him?

He said it was the words of Your Father.


The Pauline Revelation is the Father's words about Jesus.
When you say you are a New Creation created in Christ, the words of the Father are
expressing a fact through your lips.
When you say, 'Sickness, in the Name of Jesus, stop existing,' you are using the
words of the Father, which He spoke through the lips of Jesus.
When you take possession of your rights to Justice and start bearing fruit, they
they will be of the same kind of fruits that Jesus produced in His earthly walk.
Justice means: the ability to stand in the presence of the Father, without feeling of
guilt or inferiority.
This righteousness has become yours through the finished work of Christ.

"Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification."
Which was delivered for our sins, and
he was resurrected when we were declared righteous" - Rom. 4:25

They say there is enough power in an atom to propel a ship through the
ocean.
If the power that is invested in the life of God that is in you is the power that is
invested in the Word of God, that Word that He spoke and the universe was created. If
34
this power will be unleashed within you, things will begin to happen, isn't it
true?
The purpose of this message is to let you know that God desires to be freed in
you.

You have THE NAME OF JESUS

You have memorized the following verses from the Bible.


Do you know John 14:13-14: 'And whatever you ask in my name,'
I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask for anything in
my name, I will do it.
This is not praying to the Father, nor making a request to Jesus. It's using the Name just like Peter.
He used it at the Formosa gate of the temple when he freed that man with paralysis.
childish.
This is commanding the forces of darkness to be obedient to the authority of the Name of
Jesus.
That Name is YourMaybe you haven't taken advantage of it yet.
Jesus gave you the power of attorney to use His Name. He said in Matthew 28:18-19 - '...
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make
disciples of all nations.
The word 'disciples' means student, someone who learns.
We must make students, someone who learns.
We must make students of the Word from all nations.
You have the ability to go and do that.
These signs will follow those who believe: in my name, they will cast out demons; they will speak
new languages; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will not
they will harm no one; and they will lay hands on the sick and they will heal them
Mark 16:17-18
This belongs to you now.
The era of miracles is your era. It is the current era.

You can live and walk in the fullness of God's ability.


You can unleash that ability of God within you if you want.
This is the challenge of love, to allow God's life to be set free in you, that
a Palavra seja liberada, e dar ao Nome de Jesus o seu lugar verdadeiro em sua vida.
35

You have the Holy Spirit IN you

Jesus promised the disciples that the Holy Spirit, who was with him, would be
in them.
On the day of Pentecost, after He created them anew (regenerated them, made them born of...
new), He entered their bodies.
What a miracle it is to have God in us.

It is wonderful to have Your Word dwelling in us, when we realize that the universe
was created by His Word and we have that same creative power within us. Now we have the
God Himself within us, along with His word.
It is no wonder that He said in 1 John 4:4
Little children, you are of God, and you have already overcome them; because greater is He who is in you.
than that which is in the world.
The God who is in us is the same God who spoke and the universe was created. The God
What is in us is the same God who walked on the sea of Galilee.
The same God who is in us is the same who rose from the dead.
"For it is God who works in you..." - Philippians 2:13
We have not taken advantage of the riches of grace that belong to us.
How few of us have released God within us!
I can feel you Struggling to take Your place and possess Your rights, in us
individual members of the Body of Christ.
As He longs to heal the sick and break the power of Satan over the lives of
men through our intermediary.
Let’s free him in us.

You have the Justice of God

We are the Justice of God in Christ.


He who knew no sin, he made sin for us; so that in him
we were made the righteousness of God” - II Cor. 5:21.

Now He wants us to produce the fruit of Justice.


...and he will increase the fruits of your righteousness” – II Cor. 9:10
36
Justice is the ability to stand in the presence of the Father without condemnation.
He gives us the legal right to use the Name of Jesus.
She gives us the ability to stand in the presence of all kinds of diseases.
without fear, in the presence of Satan as an absolute master.
Everyone who practices righteousness is born of God - 1 John 2:29
How few of us have ever practiced justice.
We had thought that this meant only conduct, a care in our walking.
diary (behavior), this is important, but this is not 'practicing Justice'.

Practicing justice is doing the works that Jesus did, for we are taking His place.
Jesus.
Justice gives us the ability to stand in the presence of God at any time.
time and stand in the presence of Satan, as absolute winners.
How little this has been understood. How little we have graduated from this!
Now God is waiting for us to bring this truth forward. He wants us to
let's start living Justice, practicing Justice, breaking the dominion of Satan, and
speak with authority just as Jesus spoke.

You possess the Wisdom of God

We can say that this is the sum of everything.

If you possess God's skill, God's wisdom, and you unleash them, what power
incalculable there will be for your ministry (and in your life).
This is not a matter of education, but of releasing the ability of God that is in
your interior.
Locked in the most intimate part of your being is today the ability of God.

Jesus was made wisdom for you: "But you are of Him, in Jesus Christ, who for
we were made by God wisdom…” - 1 Corinthians 1:30
Tiago told the children in Christ that if they lacked wisdom,
I asked God.
And if anyone is lacking in wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all
from open hands, and without reproach; and it will be given to him. But let him ask with
faith, without doubting, because the one who doubts is like the wave of the sea, which is driven
by the wind and thrown like foam. Let not that man think that he will receive from the Lord
37
something. The person of such a kind has a double heart, indecisive in every step
that he gives" - James 1:5-8 (Weymouth)
You are an adult now. You have passed the childhood period and now you know that Jesus
it is your wisdom.
Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge,

You have the knowledge of God's life that is within you. You have the
knowledge of the power of the authority of the word,
You have the knowledge of your legal right to use the Name of Jesus in your
combat against spiritual forces.
You have the knowledge that God is actually in your body.
Now you will use these powerful facts to bless humanity.

Liberating God in us

The God imprisoned within us is finally released with the 'Letter of


Rights" (Bill of Rights) to use us as he sees fit.
We are no longer hidden.
The people know who we are.
There is a well-used path to our cabin, no matter where we live, because
we liberated God within us and gave Him His freedom to heal the sick,
to bless the world.

Fifteenth Chapter

SATANIC PERSECUTION OF THE JUST

Jesus said: "Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness..."
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Later He said: "Blessed are you when men...


rebuke you and persecute you.
The wicked men pursue because of justice.
Satan pursues us because of righteousness.
Satan fears Justice more than anything else.
Based on what God did in Christ for us, when we are born again, we
we return to the justice of God.

This means that we have the ability to expel demons, to break the power of
Satan, of healing the sick and raising the dead.
Justice gives us liberation from the fear of Satan and his works. It gives us a new
sense of filiation. The consciousness of being a child generates a heroic faith.

It takes away the sense of spiritual inferiority and completely destroys consciousness.
of sin within us.
We can walk before men just as Jesus walked, because we know that
We are New Creatures. The old life has been completely destroyed.
We know that every sin we commit has been forgiven.
We know that the sins we commit since being born again, out of ignorance
ou de outra forma, foram perdoados; e ficamos em pé na presença de Deus
exactly like Jesus when He walked the Earth.
Do we dare to take our stand by making this statement boldly?
Satan tries to keep himself in a state of consciousness of sin and to rob us of
children's awareness.
Enquanto ele puder nos manter na consciência de pecado estaremos derrotados.
Almost all teaching nowadays aims to keep the people under condemnation.
39
The ministry never came to realize that its job is to free man from
consciousness of sin and make him aware of God, aware of being a victorious one,
aware of faith, aware of love.
When we realize that we were born out of love and that we possess the nature of love.
From God within us, we will begin to exhale the fragrance of heaven.

...but in all these things, we are more than conquerors


When we become aware of victory, we will rise as one man.
Strong in your sleep, we will take our place among the winners.
The Son has made us free. Let us stand firm in the freedom for which His Redemption
he freed us.

Chapter Sixteen
KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR WILL

This is a problem that concerns most of God's people: How to know the
will of the Father?
The will of the Father is revealed in the Word.

Jesus said: “For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but to...
the will of him who sent me" - John 6:38
Jesus knew what the Father's will was.
He said: "I always do what pleases Him" - John 8:29
Paul said, 'What is pleasing to the Father was his concern' - II Cor.
If Jesus could please the Father and do His will, if Paul could please the Father,
to know Your will and to do it, then it is also possible for us to do this.
What are the foundations for our security?
First of all, we have His mind and His will in His Word.
If we diligently seek His Word, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us.
there, we will achieve spiritual growth and development through
constant meditations in the Word, so that His will becomes one
unconscious consciousness in us (become natural).
Paul said: 'Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, admonishing'
you, building yourselves up" - Col. 3:16

Paul said to the Ephesians when he said goodbye to them:


I commend you to God and to the Word of His Grace, which is able to build you up and give you
to give inheritance among those who are sanctified" - Acts 20:32
For this reason, we also, since the day we heard it, have not ceased to
to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will, in
all wisdom and spiritual intelligence; so that you may walk worthily
before the Lord, pleasing Him in everything, bearing fruit in every good work and
crescendo in the full knowledge of God” - Colossians 1:5-10
The word "knowledge" comes from the Greek word "epignosis" which means
correct knowledge, full and complete knowledge.
41
We will be filled with the correct knowledge and then He gives us wisdom to use.
this perfect knowledge.
Someone says, "It doesn't seem possible that we can possess perfect knowledge."
Why not? We have a perfect revelation of His will.
The Bible is a perfect book.
The Holy Spirit is a perfect instructor.
We are new perfect creatures, created in Jesus Christ.
We have perfect Justice.
We have a perfect relationship.
He says that we become perfect participants in the fullness of Christ.
From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace" - John 1:16
Our Redemption is perfect.

Complete redemption that meets every need of the human being and
respond to each challenge of divine fullness.
If this is true, I don’t know why we cannot have perfect knowledge.

I want you to note in John 3:3-36 that we are 'born from above'.
The New Birth is not a work of psychology or human skill.
We are "born not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible seed, of the
the word of God that lives and remains forever” - 1 Peter 1:23
Tiago tells us in 1:18 - "According to His will, He brought us forth by the word of
truth...
Who were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
but of God” - John 1:13
The new creation is the work of the Holy Spirit through the Word. It is a perfect work.
Regeneration makes us complete in Him.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...
Romans 8:1
If you who are reading this accept the Word, you will begin to bloom and produce
fruits of joy and peace that you have never known.
For many years we have heard sermons saying that we are poor and miserable.

42
when they were in apostasy... until the Church was left with a complex of
inferiority concerning sin.
She has lived for years in the consciousness of sin, and in the consciousness of unworthiness for
so much time that the Word has little effect on her.
We want to bring this to you today: The Word is a perfect message and you will be able to
to have a perfect knowledge of the will of the Father.

It would be interesting to look at these verses.


That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give you in His
knowledge of the spirit of wisdom and revelation - Ephesians 1:17.

This is not the knowledge of the senses, but it is a knowledge of Him and the Spirit will go
guide your heart in this.
until we all reach unity in the faith, the knowledge of the Son of God,
the stature of the perfect man, to the measure of the fullness of Christ” - Ephesians 4:18.

Há um conhecimento completo e pleno ao qual vamos crescer.


This expression occurs 12 or 14 times in the New Testament, especially in
epistles.
This led me to believe that the Father desires (expects) us to know His will.
Giving thanks to the Father who has granted us the ability to enjoy our share of the
inheritance of the saints in light" — Colossians 1:12 (Rotherham Translation)
The Greek word 'dunamis' translated as 'power' means ability, aptitude.
God has given us His ability to know His Word and will, in order to
to know what our part is in the "inheritance of the saints in light" - Col. 1:12.

We possess the skill. It is a gift from God. We have the Holy Spirit.
whom Jesus said should guide us to all truth.
He is our Teacher, our Guide, our Instructor who resides within us.

I cannot see where there is any basis for us to live in weakness and failure and
in the ignorance of the will of the Father, and of our place and our position in Christ and of
our rights and privileges.
We no longer have the right to dishonor the Father and dishonor Jesus Christ than Jesus.

We are children of God. We are heirs of God and co-heirs with Jesus.

We have privileges and rights in the family, the first right is to make happy the

they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly
it will not harm them at all, and they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

He has just received Eternal Life. Immediately He begins His fight against the
forces of darkness. Someone is ill or oppressed, they exercise their rights; and,
In the Name of Jesus, he orders that the powers of darkness be broken.
Acts 20:32 shows the place of the Word in the life of the Christian:

powerful to vivify you and give inheritance among all the sanctified.
"To revitalize you" means to build you up in faith, love, and the ability to help.
humanity.
Your faith can be developed until it becomes a powerful force. This was the
Father's dream for you.
The Word will build your sense of Justice. I do not know of anything that is
but more necessary than this.
When we become aware that we are Just, we will not think about the
our weaknesses and failures.
The effect of justice will be peace, and the operation of justice will be rest and faith (trust)
forever" - Isaiah 32:17
This verse does not belong to Israel. It is a prophecy for the Church.
The work of justice that God has done in you has brought peace to your heart.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...
Romans 8:1
You live in perfect calm and rest.
The effect of Justice in your heart is a calmness and a new kind of faith.
You enjoy the effect of your confidence in the finished work of Christ.

You know that you are the master of circumstances.

The other day when I examined one of the new cars, the salesman said:
There is a 160 horsepower engine under this hood.
I said, 'This could go up hills!'
The seller said: 'He mocks mountains.'
I was standing next to a believer and thought:
This man possesses the ability of God.
He smiles at all the ramps.
He sings a song of triumph as he climbs to first place.
He is not a servant or a slave.
He moved from the class of a servant to the class of a master.
He remembers in the morning what kind of man he is.
He faces life with a song of victory.

Eighteenth Chapter

THE IDENTIFICATION OF LOVE

We have seen that the New Creation is entirely one with Christ.
We have seen that the New Creation is one with Love, one with Him and love is one with the
New Creation.
The New Creation is the body of Christ.
This living organism, dominated by God, filled with God, is here among men.
showing love, acting in His place, taking possession of His Work.
In the first chapter of Acts, Luke says by the Spirit: "The things that Jesus began to
to do and to teach - Acts 1:1
We start where He left off.
We continue the work that He established.
He was the bearer of Burden, The Beloved.
He is acting in us, through us, and with us.

Bale Loaders

We are Your burden bearers.


We carry Your burden with Your strength.
We do Your will with Your skill.
He is living His life in us.
We know, but who knows, we do not realize the fact that: "It is no longer I who live,
but it is Christ who lives in me" - Galatians 2:20

We have lost the old landmarks of knowledge of the senses since we learned to
walk on the New Path.
He said, "I am the way" - John 14:6
It is not a road, it is a person.
It is not a theory, it is a reality.
It is not a doctrine, it is a life.
Dogmas e Doutrinas perderam seus significados.
They are the mere shells of the past days.

They kept us in slavery for years.
Now we have been included in Him.

But we who are strong should bear (carry) the weaknesses (infirmities)
of the weak, and not to please ourselves" - Romans 15:1

This is the method of Jesus.


He was strong. He took our infirmities.
Now Your strength has made us strong.
We are not your critics.
We do not condemn because they failed.
We bow down and take their burdens and allow them to walk beside us,
free people.
We do not condemn those who are imprisoned by Satan, for we remember that once we
we were also slaves.
We are the bearers of strength, the carriers of burden, the bearers of light in a
world of darkness.
What a glorious ministry it is to take the place of Jesus.

What a life it is to bear the burdens of the weak, to carry the loads that others should have had.
the strength to carry, to have faith for those who do not have faith, courage for those who
they are defeated, wisdom for those who have long walked in darkness.
We are men and women of Jesus, from a new era.
As the Father loved me, so have I loved you; remain in my love.
if you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; in the same way I
I have kept my Father's commandments, and I abide in His love" - John 15:9-10
We must love just as He loved, pouring out our lives as He poured out His.
Paul noticed the essential point and gave it to us in II Corinthians 5:13-14

For if we are out of our mind, it is for God; and if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For
the love of God constrains us, judging us thus, that if one died for all, then
everyone died.
Paul believed in love to the point that people thought he had gone mad. Paul's response
for: "The love of Christ has dominated my heart. I realize that the death of Christ was the
death of each man.
The same love that caused Christ to die for man compelled the heart of
Paul was making Him live for them.
50
The attitude of love is this: "I love you as if I had died for you." Paul is still
stronger in your description of the identification of love in Romans 9:3 (Moffat)

I suffer infinite anguish of heart. I could consider myself cursed and banished.
of Christ out of love for my brothers.
When we read this, we feel that we can hardly reach that point. But, it's not difficult.
because He made us Love. He made us like Himself.
What He was in His earthly walk, we are now in our earthly walk.

He dominated us so that we can carry His dream to man.


This may seem strange, but it is beautifully true, that we love just as He does.
amou.
We love with Your love.
We look at people with eyes of love.
We used to say: 'They are reaping what they sowed.'
We looked at these people through the eyes of the knowledge of the senses.
Now we say: 'Father, help me to help them. I am taking Your wisdom and Your strength.'
"to carry the load that they stopped taking." I take their place and carry theirs.
loads, just like you took my place and carried my burden.
We speak of them with the voice of love, with the message of love.

Love Transmitters

Our identification with Him places us on the throne.


Your identification with us places us in the role of leaders, teachers, helpers,
comforters and cargo carriers.
We bring God to man, just as He came to us. We boldly say:
look at us
We are love just as He is love. We are the lips of Love, hands and Feet of Love.
Without transmission lines, the powerful generators of the Coulee Dam would be useless.
Without transmitters, God with all His skill is powerless.
Your love can find no expression except through the New Creature.
Those large generators depend on the transmission lines. They, and only they,
they can carry the current that can move the motors and light the homes of the Northwest.
You are not realizing that if you fail, He becomes impotent.
51
We limit Him or allow Him to be limited.
For many ages, the power and capability of the mighty in Columbia have never been utilized.
For nearly two thousand years, God's unlimited capacity has not been used.
The Church has remained weak and powerless.
Sin has reigned like a lord, and the church has served it like a slave.
Still, that Church which represents the New Creation is a conqueror of
Satan
Are we going to allow this to continue like this?

Have you noticed the truth of this powerful message of Identification.


What are you going to do with her?

We have the key

Will God be great again among men?


Will He heal and save the multitudes?
Will large crowds hear the message of grace again through lips
burning with love?
Will Pedros walk on the waves again?
Will we hear them say to the paralyzed man: 'Get up and walk'?
Will we see men freed from the dominion of Satan?
YES, I believe we will see
We are the masters.
We have arrived.
We possess the thing that the human spirit has annulled.
We are now whispering: "Greater is He who is in us" than any opposition.
or any shortcomings that may confront us.
You can hear a voice saying: 'This is God speaking.'
Let us remember what kind of men and women He has made us. We do not fear.

Finally we are Lords.


We are the created by God, inhabited by God, energized by God and guided by
God.
We are those in whom love never fails.
52
Forward, let's rise and possess the Earth!
We are very capable.
CONCLUSION

When these truths truly take precedence in us, they will make us
spiritual super-men, lords over demons and diseases.
This is the unveiling of who we are in Christ, as the Father sees us in the Son.
This will be the end of weakness and failure. There will be no more struggle for faith, for all the
things are ours. There will be no more prayer for power, for He is in us. There will be no more
but the dreadful slavery of the consciousness of sin, for we are the righteousness of God in
Christ.
We know what we are in Christ.
We know that He dwells in us.
We know the authority of Your Name.
We possess Your ability.
We possess Your wisdom.
We possess Your love.
We are Your justice.
He lives in us.
Your landlord is a reality.
Your Word is present time for our hearts.
We have a permanent invitation to Your throne room.
We are invited to enter His presence.
We are seated with Him in Heaven.
He is with us on Earth.
In the presence of such tremendous facts and reality, we rise and take the
our place. We go out and live like supermen for God.
