Redeemed Lesson #1

             REDEEMED   Lesson 1  

     Psalms 107:1-2 (Amplified Bible) says "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary."

     Galatians 3:13 (Amplified) " Christ purchased our freedom (redeeming us) from the curse (doom) of the law (and it's condemnation) by (Himself) becoming a curse for us, for it is written (in the scriptures) 'cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree Is crucified).'" Deuteronomy 21:23 (Amplified).  Galatians 3:14 says "To the end that through (their receiving) Christ Jesus, the blessing (promised) to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we through faith might (all) receive (the realization of) the promise of the Holy Spirit."

     We've been speaking of our covenant of faith in previous teachings.  Here we clearly see that in verse 14 we must receive this blessing by faith.  Psalm 107:2 says that "we are to proclaim this redemption by speaking (by faith) what Jesus has done on our behalf."

     Why is it that we have such a hard time speaking and believing what Jesus has done?  Revelations 12:11-12 (Amplified)  says that "Then I heard a strong (loud) voice in heaven, saying 'Now it has come-the salvation and the power and the Kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of his Christ (the Messiah) for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing God, charges against them day and night, has been cast out." verse 11 "and they overcame (conquered) him by means of the Blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death."

     Jesus declared in John 5 and 6 (Amplified) that "we who are dead can receive life in Him.  If we try to save our life, we will lose it, and if we lose our life, we will save it."

     In Revelations 12  he was talking about the time of the new covenant (after the resurrection) those people who had been under the accuser of the brethren, would now have authority by the name of Jesus, to speak out our testimony and overcome him."  "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so." Psalms 107:2

     1Peter 5:6-9 (Amplified) tells us that "If you will read these scriptures carefully, you will see taht (the accuser of the brethren) the adversary is even now trying to take back authority over the redeemed of the Lord." "We are to withstand him in faith." verse 9.

     When the adversary comes in "like a roaring lion," do you proclaim your redemption or do you back off?  Are you the redeemed of the Lord who "says so?"  Or are you the one who lays down?  Do you "overcome by the word of the Lord" and the "word of your testimony?"  Your word should be Jesus Christ, Him crucified and risen, and His victory for you.  Your testimony is not who you used to be, but who you are now In Him.

     Is your testimony "by the blood of the Lamb" and your redemption in Him?  If not, then you are not resisting the enemy, but yielding to the same accusations that you always received before Jesus redeemed you.

     Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!  You are redeemed from the curse and now walking in the blessing, if you will proclaim it.
