IN THE BEGINNINGâ¦A booklet written by Ribbons the clown
A long long time ago⦠In the beginning. God created the heavens and the earth. He also created the angels. One angel was the head over the heavenly worship, his name was Lucifer..
He rebelled against God and was soon kicked out of heaven. ( Is 14:12-18) His name was changed to Satan, the serpent, liar, murderer, destroyer, deceiver and accuser, the devilâ¦
The heavens was GodâÂÂs kingdom. Gen 1:26-27, Ps 115:16 God created the earth and put man on earth to rule as kings. Ps 8:3-6
Man was to rule, subdue and have dominion over earth and everything on it. (expect other people)
Man disobeyed God and obeyed the devil. Gen 3:1-6 This gave the devil, mans authority. The devil became king, ruler ,and lord of the earth John 12:31
Because of this
1 John 5:19 the whole world lies under the power of the wicked one. That is why there is death, disease, poverty, sickness, fear and destroying weather.
John 10 :10 says that the thief ( the devil) comes to kill, steal and destroy , I (Jesus) have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly. .
Sooooo⦠God sent HIS SON âÂÂJesusâ to be born of a virgin. Jesus, put aside all His Godly powers and walked the earth as a sinless man Phil 2:7, Rom 8:3-4 God anointed, Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power and He went all over doing good and healing all oppressed by the devil for God was with Him. Act 10:38 Jesus showed us how to rule as kings on earth.
The devil didnâÂÂt like Jesus ruling over him. So HE KILLED HIM. 1Co 2:7-8 Jesus died--- and went to hell, where He paid the price for all our sins, past, presents and future. 2 Co 5:21 Then He beat up the devil and rose from the dead.
and took away all authority from the devil.-------- Col 2:15 Luke 24:4-7 John 12:31 and gave us back authority to rule the earth. Matt 28:18-20
Then Jesus went to heaven and sent you, a gift. (Act 2:39) The Holy Spirit, He is for you and your children and to all that are afar off (not born yet) . (YOU ARE A FAR OFF) He is your helper, teacher and the power of God living inside of you.
Jesus still does signs, wonders and miracles. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
So now because YOU received Jesus and have the Holy spirit, these signs will follow YOU just like they did Jesus: YOU cast out devils, YOU speak in new tongues, YOU Lay hands on the sick and they will be healed AND YOU raise the dead! Luke 24:49, Mark 16:15-18, Acts 1:8, John 20:21-22
You dominate the circumstances around YOU and destroy the works of the devil.
but that is NOT the end of this story. For this story to have a happy ENDING
YOU MUST
Rom 10:9 confessed with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and believe with your heart that God raised Him from then dead.
Shall we do that right now?
Repeat after me: Father God, I ask Jesus to be my Lord, I believe you raised Him from the dead. I also receive the Holy Spirit, who will teach, correct and give me power to be just like You. Thank you, in Jesusâ name amen.
Now you will go to heaven when you die and you will rule as a king on earth.
