The second part
Session Eight 8 B
8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace, 7 for the carnal mind is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that lives in you.
12 Therefore, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if through the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. 15 For you have not received the spirit of slavery again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirits that we are the children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified with Him... Romans 8

The Person and Work of Christ
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, pleasing to all, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, 11 strengthened with all might according to His glorious power, enduring everything with perseverance and patience joyfully, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled us to be partakers in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of His dear Son, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of every creature. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers. All things were created by Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all fullness should dwell, 20 and to reconcile all things to Himself by Him, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him, I say—whether they are things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, who were formerly alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and blameless and above reproach in His sight,

THE ARRIVAL PRESENCE WORK
JESUS OF NAZARETH

20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, no doubt the kingdom of God has come upon you. Luke 11
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, “What is this? What new teaching is this? With authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” Mark 1
15 And having disarmed authorities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2
8 Whoever practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 2
29 Suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” Matthew 8
……The demons also believe and tremble.
James 2
When something is much bigger than you, I mean vastly superior to you…its better to get out of the way. RD
They had the right to influence, deceive and take the very ground under your feet, satan and demons have gained the rights….by our sin. It’s clear that the darkside just can’t take what they want or possess whoever freely, they must have a legal right….a foothold (Topos Eph. 4).
The sad fact is that we humans gave satan the right to rule here by our sin …and we give satan-demons rights to influence/use us when we open even more doors-legal rights to him-them. Who is the prince (archon-ruler) of the power (domain) or the air (atmosphere around-above us) See Ephesians 2…. That spirit who is supernaturally operative in ‘lost’ (unsaved) humanity is the very one who brought us down. Satan owns us when we are lost and can work in the lost his purposes at times.
Salvation is the ground of being delivered -set free from satan. We are set free from his ownership, rule, rights and powers when we are born again. Look over this verse well, this is what Jesus does for us when we come to Him and are ‘saved’ (rescued redeemed …new birth Titus3).
Colossians 1: 13-14
“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of His dear Son, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”
Jesus is Savior and Lord!
This in now God in human flesh, sinless, fully righteous and carrying the full authority of who He is. He didn’t have to gain it, acquire it or do something for it….He owned it (infinitely and eternally) in his very being.
He is God, Savior, Lord of all and comes in full authority over everything that is satan-satanic, demonic and fallen. This is why satan sought so hard to bring him down….so Jesus would lose his status, authority, Saviorhood and be defeated. But again, Jesus blew satan out of the water ….and that authority that pours forth from Jesus always has, does and always will.
When you think of the person, the presence, the works and the very words of Jesus….this is unlike anyone, anything, anywhere. Jesus is the only begotten and has come to reveal the Father. He has come for the primary purpose as expressed in John 3:16-17, God so loved us and came to save us. That ‘saving’ or redemption includes dealing with the sin issue, satans ownership, death and hell itself.
But his coming includes even more…a necessary work, the work (or wielding) at the cross. He is vastly superior than satan….the Infinite person and presence of God against a corrupted fallen finite who has, is and will lose everything.
