Totally Redeemed
FOUNDATION STATEMENT: We have to develop a
redeemed mindset, a total victory mindset.
We’ve have to think blessed not cursed. –
Hebrews 9:12 (AMP)-Your redemption is complete
I.
Where we started
A. Genesis 1:26-28 –
Adam was created in the very image
and likeness of God
1. Ezekiel 1:27 – God
is a fire from his loins up and to his loins down
2. Genesis 2:23 –
Man-Comes from the word “Ish” which means fire
B. Adam was created with the
forces of God on the inside of him (faith, joy, love)
1. As long as Adam was
hooked to God those forces where working
2. When Adam unhooked from
God and hooked up to Satan everything in him was perverted and going 180
degrees in the opposite direction
C. There was enough power in
Adam to bless the whole Earth (Genesis 1:26-28)
1. He hooked to the enemy
and the power to bless became the power to curse
D. Through Adam’s treason
Satan became the god of this world (2 Cor 4:4, Luke 4)
1. 2 Corinthians 4:4-He
didn’t get that title off of God, he got that off of Adam
a. Psalm 8:4, Psalm 82
– Adam was the god of this world
2. Luke 4:6-Satan gained
authority in the Earth through Adam’s transgression
a. God have Adam dominion
over all the Earth (Genesis 1:26)
b. When Adam bowed his knee
to the enemy that authority was transferred into his hands
II.
God is on the outside
looking in and he needs to make a covenant with man so that he can get back in
this thing
A. God set the system up so
that to operate on Earth you have to a body
1. Why didn’t God just come
and do something? Because he needed
a body to work with and through
2. God couldn’t create
another man from the dust of the ground, because he didn’t own the dust of the
ground besides that it was cursed
3. He can’t do it through
the seed of man because there is sin in there
B. In essence God did the
same thing to Abraham that Satan did to Adam (Gen 17)
1. He got a man to chose him
as God and now God’s got a way in
C. God needs a contract with
natural man by which He can bring forth legally the redemption plan that would
set man free
1. Abraham could have
refused the covenant if He wanted to
D. God, through His covenant
people, began to speak words prophesying about the coming of Jesus and those
words became flesh and dwelt among men.
God’s getting His plan into motion through men that chose
him (John 1:14).
III.
The purpose from Jesus’
coming
A. Jesus came to destroy the
works of the devil (1 John 3:8)
1. Destroy-To dissolve,
undo, do away with, overthrow, melt, annul, break up, sever, to take away, to
cause to cease, to put an end to
2. Undo-To reverse what has
been done; to annul or bring to naught any transaction; unravel, unfasten, to
loose, to open, untie
3. Dissolve-To waste away
and cause to vanish
4. Annul-To make void,
nullify, to reduce to nothing; to make void by someone in authority
5. Jesus came to get you
hooked back up to God where those forces are working again
B. Jesus came so that we
could have zoe-life and have it abundantly (John 10:10)
1. Zoe-life is the power
that darkness and death cannot overcome
2. Zoe-life is the glory of
God, the power of God, it is God himself
3. Zoe-life is what God
crowned Adam with
4. Zoe-life healing power of
God that removes all sickness, it’s the prospering power of God that removes
all lack
C. He came to get man back
the place where he stood before the fall
IV.
The price for redemption
A. To redeem us from our
sins Jesus had to pay the full price for our sins
1. There’s a physical price
that has to be paid because through sin comes curse manifested in the physical
realm
2. There’s a spiritual price
that has to be paid because through sin people have spiritual death working
their lives have to spend eternity in hell
B. Jesus didn’t commit sin
therefore death, sickness, disease, and the curse had no way of coming on him
(John 8:29)
1. Jesus lived a life that
was free from the curse of the law because he never violated the law; he lived
a redeemed life (John 8:58-59)
2. You don’t obey God all
the time and have the curse working in your life
C. For the curse and death
to come into his life he had to have sin (Romans 5:12)
1. Jesus didn’t commit sin;
He was made to be sin with my sin (2 Cor 5:21)
a. With my sin came the
curse and death
2. John 3:14-He went to the
cross a lamb; when he bore our sin he became a serpent
a. On the cross he became
the child molester, the rapist, the murder
D. Jesus went to the very
bottom of the pit of hell (Matthew 12:40, Acts 2:31, 2:24)
1. Isaiah 53:9 – He
made his grave with the wicked in his deaths
a. The wicked went to hell,
not to paradise
2. Luke 23:43 – Shoal
was the upper regions of hell and it was called paradise
a. Those Old Testaments
saints were saved in that they weren’t harmed, but no man went to Heaven until
Jesus made the way (John 3:13)
3. To pay the full price of
sin, Jesus had to experience the full torment of sin
a. The full torment of all
of our sins is more than just physical torment b/c if a person dies a sinner,
the spiritual torment would be far greater than the physical torment
b. If Jesus didn’t
experience the fullness of what we would have experienced for our sins, then
the full price wouldn’t have been paid
c. Jesus had to die the
death of a sinner and a sinner doesn’t go to paradise, a sinner goes into the
very pit of hell.
E. What Jesus suffered
1. Physically
a. Isaiah 53:5-He lifted and
carried my griefs and sorrows. The
wounds that should have come on me for my transgression were on him. The brokenness that should have come on
me for my iniquities were on him.
The punishment for my peace was on him.
b. Isaiah 52:14-He was
marred until didn’t resemble a man
2. Spiritually – Jesus
died spiritually (Isaiah 53:9 – In his deaths)
a. Matthew 27:46 – God
who is Life left him (John 1:1-5,
John 1:5)
1)
Spiritual
death is to be disconnected from the father
2)
Adam
disconnected and died spiritually through rebellion, Jesus died spiritually and
disconnected through obedience
3. How did Jesus die
spiritually?
a. The only way that
spiritual death can come on a person is through sin (Rom 5:12)
1)
2
Corinthians 5:21 – Jesus never sinned, so he used our sin and that’s how
spiritual death got on him
2)
Phil
2:8-He submitted to death, by taking our sin and deactivating zoe
4. The worst thing that
happened to Jesus was that His Father turned his back on him and said I never
knew you and he became attached to everything that he was created to hate and
despise (Matthew 27:46)
a. He became a spiritual
orphan so you wouldn’t have to be
V.
Jesus’ triumph
A. In the depths of the very
pit of hell God spoke to Jesus and Jesus was born-again from death unto life
1. 1 Timothy 3:16 – Justified
in the Spirit
2. 1 Peter 3:18 – To
be made alive in the spirit you would have to be dead first
3. Colossians 1:18 –
Jesus was the first born from the dead – He was the first man every born
from spiritual death to spiritual life
a. That’s not talking about
physical death because others raised from the dead before him (Lazarus, Jairus’
daughter, The Widow’s Son)
b. Romans 8:29 – Firstborn
among many brethren
4. Hebrews 1:5-6 –
These are the words that raised Jesus from the dead
a. Philippians 2:16, 1 John

and Jesus got born again.
B. Jesus defeated the enemy
1. Hebrews 2:14-15
2. Colossians 2:14-15
a. Spoiled– to strip off or to put off as one would put off his
garments; the disarming of an enemy – literally stripping his weaponry
and artillery from him and leaving him without any weapons with which to
respond; stripping one to the point of complete nakedness.
b. Show – to display or to expose something; the display of
captives, weaponry, and trophies that were seized during war on foreign soil;
once the war was over the winner would return home displaying and exposing the
treasures, trophies, weaponry, and captives that he had seized; this was a
humiliating experience for the enemy
c. Openly-Boldness, confidence, something that is done blatantly or
even publicly. He boldly,
confidently, loudly, blatantly, publicly exposed and displayed the defeated foe
d. Triumphing (triambeuo) – the general who was returning home
from a grand victory in the enemy’s territory. A glorious triumphal parade. The returning victory would lead the
parade in on a white stallion and behind him bound in chains would be the
defeated king/foe. He would strut
with pride, flaunting his defeated foes.
In other words he would make a show of them openly.
3. One born again man
defeated all of hell (Hebrews 1:3)
4. Hell had no idea what
they had done when they crucified Jesus ( 1 Cor 2:8)
VI.
Jesus paid the price and
took back the authority that Adam lost in the Garden of Eden and placed it into
the hands of believers
A. The first thing that
happens when you are recreated is that your receive dominion and authority in
the Earth

first thing that God did when he created man in the garden of Eden was give him
authority in the Earth

do the binding and the loosing on the Earth and I have the power of Heaven to
back me
4. Ephesians 2:2, Romans
5:5, 1 John 4:4 – That eternal, zoe, life force of God was imparted into
my spirit when I got born again
5. Ephesians 1:19 (AMP)
– The power that raised Jesus from the dead and that caused him to defeat
every demon in hell and all of hell is now on the inside of me; That zoe, that
life-force, that power that raised Jesus from the dead is on the inside of me
now
B. This life force is what
raised Jesus from the dead seated at the right hand of the Father above all
principality, all power, all might, and all dominion, and every name that is
named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Ephesians
1:20-21)
1. Ephesians 2:1-6 –
We are sitting with him
2. 1 John 4:17 – As he
is (right now) so are we in this world (right now, not after you die and go to
Heaven
