DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

David Wilkerson emphasizes that despite Satan's apparent victory at the
crucifixion, God's plan for resurrection was unfolding. Jesus, after
laying silent in the grave, was resurrected by the Holy Spirit,
declaring His eternal life and authority over death. This resurrection
not only signifies Christ's victory but also offers believers a life
that transcends death's power. Christians are encouraged to embrace this
resurrection life, free from the fear of death, as they possess the same
life-force that raised Jesus. The message is a powerful reminder that
with Christ in us, we have a life that Satan cannot destroy.

As Jesus lay silent in the grave after his crucifixion, Satan and his
hordes gloated. They thought they had won an irreversible victory but
all along, God's foreordained plan was being put into action -- a plan
for resurrection life!

The Lord sent his Holy Spirit down into the very bowels of death and
there he quickened the body of Jesus, raising him from the dead. Then
out of the grave stepped our blessed Savior, right through the thick
stone. And he emerged with this testimony:

"I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.
Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death" (Revelation 1:18).
Christ was saying here, "I am the one who has eternal life. I was dead,
but look, I'm alive, now and forever. I hold the very keys to life and
death in my hands!"

The moment Jesus walked out of death's prison, he became the
resurrection and the life, not only for himself but for all who would
believe on him from that day on. He has brought forth to us a
resurrection life totally beyond death's power.

Because of this, there is no longer any reason for a Christian to fear
death or to see it as an enemy. Our Lord has conquered it completely:
"Whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death" (Acts 2:24).

If you have received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, then he resides in
you as a mighty power of resurrection life. And the same resurrection
power that brought him up out of the grave will sustain you, as well.
"Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in
you?" (2 Corinthians 13:5). You have within your being all that is in
Christ, a powerful life-force that Satan cannot destroy!
