Now that I have made this kind of statement, let me take you through the scriptures and show you what I am saying to the body of Christ.
As and ambassador from another kingdom (Jesus said "we are in this world, but we are not of this world" in John 17:16 (Amplified).
If we are truly ambassadors from another world (kingdom), then the laws of our Kingdom have truly exempted us from the laws that govern here. Jesus told His disciples in Luke 10:19 (Amplified) "Behold, I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and (physical and mental strength and ability) over all the power that the enemy (possesses) and nothing shall in any way harm you."
We also read in Romans 8:2 (Amplified) "for the law of the Spirit of Life (which is) in Christ Jesus (the law of our new being) has freed me from the law of sin and death."
Again, in Matthew 28:18 (Amplified) Jesus approached and breaking the silence, said to them "All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to me."
To me this would indicate that the usurped power of rule that satan once held over this planet (that taken from Adam in the Garden of Eden) was now ended. Not only for Jesus, but because He had taken back all rule and restored it back to all who would believe in Him and enter back (through the power of His sacrifice) into the Kingdom of God. Jesus states this openly in Mark 16:15-20 (Amplified) when He said to "preach this Good News" and these signs would follow " those who believe." verse 20 (Amplified)"And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied (it). Amen (so be it)." Jesus (as King) watched over those who would walk as ambassadors from His Kingdom, granting immunity to all the demon power, the power of sickness and the satanic rule of law that had "until this time" rule over men. These men and women who would dare to believe this message would have diplomatic immunity over the ungodly rule and would walk above it.
This rule of the Kingdom of Heaven was in answer to the power that Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 6:10 (Amplified). In a prayer that most of us know (and sometimes don't think about), Jesus taught us to pray verse 10 "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."
As a matter of the will of the Father, the rule of the Kingdom would now have rule over all the former rule and exempt those ambassadors from this rule (the law of sin and death) that had held them until now.
Jesus said at the Last Supper, just hours before going to the cross, in John 13:20 (Amplified) "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you that he who receives and welcomes and takes me into his heart any messenger of mine, receives me (in just that way) and he who receives and welcomes and takes me into his heart receives Him who sent me (in the same way)."
Do you remember the woman who was bound in Luke? Luke 13:16 (Amplified) says "this power of diplomatic immunity (or if you will) this rule of the Kingdom that rules the rule of satan. This law of the Kingdom overshadows all other laws. verse 16 (Amplified) says "And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who satan kept bound fro eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?"
We see here (in action) the rule of this diplomatic immunity by exempting this woman from the bond of the present ruler. This disease could not hold her when a higher law or rule was applied by the ambassador of heaven.
Jesus spoke of this new rule and Law of the Kingdom (and how it would supersede the rule of a fallen world) in Matthew 6:33 (Amplified) when He spoke to the people about everyday life. He said that "all the people (saved and unsaved) would need a place to live, food to eat and clothes to wear; but there were different ways and means to get those things." verse 33 (Amplified) says "But seek (aim at and strive after) first all of His Kingdom and His righteousness (His ways of doing and being right) and then all these things taken together will be given to you besides."
Gravity is one of the laws that govern this world and it still works. But we have a law of lift and the law of thrust that will supersede gravity and let an airplane weighing tons fly. New laws cause us to rise up on eagle's wings.
