JESUS WALKED ON WATER.....HE DANCED IN THE FIRE
As I was worshiping in church this morning, the song was about being an overcomer......through Jesus. I saw a scene before my eyes and it was Jesus dancing in the fires of hell. There is nothing that tells us what happened between the time Jesus died on the cross and the time He rose again. To be honest, I had never thought of it. But this morning, there during worship, I saw Jesus dancing in the fire, the flames all around Him, but nothing could touch Him or harm Him. As satan was rejoicing in what he believed was his great victory, Jesus came into hell with the power of the Living God. As I sit here writing, that is what has come to me. He was showing satan that he, had won nothing, that death....hell....fire.....nothing could keep the Son of God down. Jesus had said He would rise again in three days and satan could not prevent that. We know that Jesus took the keys to death and hell and He was the Conqueror, not satan. Can you imagine the tormented mind of satan while Jesus spent that length of time down there. I believe satan cowered in fear when he saw the Light descend into that darkness. Jesus wasn't there for a few minutes, but sufficient time to make known the Glory of the Lord in the depths of hell. Neither death nor hell could keep Jesus down. Victory was in His hands.
I think the word given me here was to let me know.....let you know.....that just because satan thinks he has the victory over our lives, it is not his decision at all. He has no authority over the children of God. Yes, he and his evil ones can make our lives difficult......but he does not have authority over our lives. Our Father in Heaven has us in His hands, we are His. He is there to protect us. Jesus went to hell and rose again.....did you ever think there was a reason He did this....that He just didn't get buried and then lay there for a couple of days and then rise up? I believe our Savior wanted to show us that there is a real hell.....that satan is real.....and satan wants to bring us there. But Jesus conquered death....He conquered the grave....and He conquered hell. Jesus has put on us His stamp of forgiveness and mercy.....His righteousness is upon us.....and we, just as He, have the victory over satan. We should not fear what satan can do to us.....we are the victors. It is time we take into our hearts, into our spirits the realization of the victory that was won for us when Jesus descended into that dark pit aglow with flames.
Right now the song "Victory is mine, Victory is mine, Victory today is mine, I told satan to get thee behind, Victory today is mine" is resounding through my spirit.
Dear friends, I believe it is time we see ALL that Jesus did while in the grave, and realize that we have the victory. Jesus has given us the victory.
