The Basis of Authority, Part 2

920 Evans talks about the spiritual secret weapon, the devil, by surprise man race.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas and president of the urban alternative. There's nothing like the element of surprise to change the course of the battle today on Good Friday.

Dr. Evans explains how God used that tactic to secure our salvation and equip us to fight spiritual battles successfully. Let's join us today.

See the person of Jesus. I want you to understand Jesus, on the position of what sin God see baby baby baby will crush God. Satan you want to see what something less than you see the guy on God, the God kind of man was he sent his son bought and wanted to reclaim the Angel site and bring it back to mankind site when Jesus being born. You remember the story right to kill all the baby now. The problem on his goal. Satan realizing that he would not by killing him supply so what we find in John chapter 22 Satan entered Judas Iscariot and motivated him to go out and betray Jesus Christ to be all working miracles but not on his own. Every time is doing something always because that is my father's will, because he could not reach in and pull out a numerical but he would break away for a while and said he would like to pray why does God have to break it when it as pure beauty as the seed of a woman demonstrate that he had the right to roll the challenge Satan based on obedience and dependency on God and Satan knew what it was all about. First John chapter 3 verse eight said that Jesus came to destroy all the works of the and so the person of Christ led to the payment of Christ.

Colossians 2 want to conquer Satan that had to be conquered. You can't conquer Satan until 1 o'clock at death. Satan's weapon because that is the consequence and sent to Congress that you got conquer death because it was sin that only one that that's the resurrection, resurrection, you gotta have somebody get nothing but God had to deal with the sin problem in the way the same problem. What Christ take care of the sin problem.

So now God is free, but we got an authority problem.

Gotta deal with this question is in charge. Jesus Christ is not God's wrath against God is now seven spots that you have met all the demands that's when Sutton took place most Christians don't know about. People want to know what was happening three days all we know is Jesus died on Friday in the Roosevelt signed the note asked the rest of the story. That's a little piece of the story between activity was taking place because God did not only said to get Satan off our backs to release us from evil, not only judicially that is legally going to make no claim against God, but practically we could live without me on our backs, so I thought Jesus was just sleeping in the supply given by Joseph thought it was his body was pulling out my God it went on a trip trip's not the common understanding of the abode of the dead. When a man died before Jesus died, he went to Hades.

Compartment seven compartment.

For those who die in a relationship with God. This, and it had no relationship with God and all that you know the story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke chapter 16 understand that the rich man.dot and it was kind of like the rich man and labyrinths could see one another.

That was a little bit I make say one another.

They can relate to one another, because we plan a plan, a plan WITH you to pray the price paid in full. What you do when you go with last payment on the layaway plan that would so it says that the host of captives they went down and he said, not better. This nice place it writes close to the other side with completely.

But the Bible say about the 20 website isolated from play all the righteous Side. I want you not going anywhere I want you to know I read all you want. What's the justice of God in such a way that God could not put another way, Satan rates God say about God will will got on God's hat and that contracts is no passes so much going around the people want me to believe I know what you know when you take some layaway because you paid the price which you get this show no payment was in full story installment somebody out. I would not pay all sun all day. Mary Kay Gray said the day around my truck touching the touch line.

She touched just a few hours later disciples touched me because in the Bible.

When the priest was going off of the sacrifice and take blood into the home with the ball couldn't touch you couldn't touch the priest the blood into the holy of all would be the priest.

The blood delivery to mid first before you get that precious blood from a guy not to because God's blood situated God.

He was amazed by grace.

Finally, if you go to be victorious in the angelic conflict over Satan still alive still intimidates you have to understand your position in Christ Jesus told his disciples. I got a go one must only have to take in settlement while you sit on your throne so that I can run the universe for now all authority has been given to me in heaven and Jesus Christ was in strong by God the father and all was the power of demons. That's why why verse 97 of the same chapter 12, and finally fall complete and will already chapter 121 $0.22 all authority of the church. Satan has been rendered powerless to just 14 and 15 says that the Bible enthralled with Touche rate with we talked about a thing with Christ that the parade Roman soldier to celebrate all the spoils went back to Rome as part of the victory of Christ takes us to have them replace the pot of his jewelry and leave with him. That's why you see in Galatians chapter 12 verse 11 and they overcame him by the blood. We must understand position in Christ, and we must now exercise authority on the web becomes.

You can't beat Satan with your authority you don't have okay we in Christ we have been seen in Christ with it is already Want to compare Christ to life in Christ as long as you are from Christ the power of God will not be shared with you about Florida you must first be a problem as Christians because they are to become did not functioning in the Christian life. So what's my point. My point is in your Christian life you don't fight for victory. You fight from victory. I'm going to be Satan today. Now Christ has been, Satan today.I'm walking on the chopping block to give me the power want to put it simply, the butterfly inside a windowpane fluttering with great frights because it was being pursued by sparrow and the sparrow King fly your couldn't see what class that was between The sparrow doing anything is what will because that was the enemy wanted to something else flattering space because they when you say you say the wrong line and second, that he wants to ruin your health, Jesus Christ ran between you and Satan and that Satan can capture 12 become the blood of stop being afraid that on the glass if you want to make something in between them.

One day, according to Revelation step you will have to worry about Angel from God will be sent down the chain around site and just wanted to see the nations will be thrown and I can imagine that the gable mother-to-be Michael chain around.
