Spiritual Ascendancy - Our Possession
In order for us to come into possession of our spiritual ascendancy with Christ, we must first have our eyes opened to see the great truths of Christ death, burial, resurrection, and ascention. Seeing these truths will cause us to have faith in what Christ has done for us. Because we are in Christ, we are identified with Him in His death, burial, resurrection, and ascention. we will never arrive at our postion of spirtual ascendancy through struggling and striving after it, but only though our faith and appopriation of what the Lord Jesus Christ has already done for us.
This message is also printed in booklet form under the title: Spiritual Ascendancy.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
