Free Supernatural Believing Christ Conscious by Emerson Ferrell

to be tempted and not sin (Hebrews 4:15), then I believe we experience the same victory.
    Why was it possible for Jesus to go into hell and recover all that was stolen from Adam?
    I believe it was because His consciousness encompassed the grave. The purpose in speaking about this subject is to challenge the way we perceive our lives as Christians.
    The popular notion that everything will be done for us after death or that we have to wait that Jesus returns to overcome, is a lie from the devil.
    The authority of the Christ consciousness is to be achieved now, not after we die. The consciousness Jesus possesses goes beyond this life and grave. Our spirit connected with His Spirit will reveal unspeakable treasures.
    I think this is what Paul is alluding to as he describes Jesus in the following scriptures.
    And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there arises another priest, who has been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
    Hebrews 7:15-16 AKJV
    Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…
    Hebrews 12:1 AMP
    I believe those whose souls and spirits united in Christ will experience heaven many times before their physical death. The purposes for these experiences are to form a belief capable of ruling and reigning for the ages to come.
    My reason for mentioning this is to challenge all our belief systems and shift our paradigms. I am being stretched out of my comfort zones to explore the Bible as never before.
    If we approach the scriptures with a pure heart to see God and are not motivated by any other reason than knowing the Father the way Jesus did, the Holy Spirit will protect you from going astray. Problems will always remain for those whose goals are not pure.
    Each time the Lord has allowed me to visit Him in heaven; my mind has been altered to understand His Word in a deeper way.
    There was a time when the Lord took me to heaven and I heard Him repeat what He said in Matthew 8:22, “Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.”
    Immediately, I observed people, who appeared dead, walking with a dark shroud over their eyes. They were attempting to remove the veil, very oblivious to others standing around them who were shining like light. Upon closer investigation, I could see that some of the people shining resembled my mental picture on the mountain of transfiguration. The Spirit reminded me that Jesus was able to see and talk with Elijah and Moses during that encounter.
    I began to meditate on that experience, and I truly believe Jesus was allowing me to see an example of intelligence after death. Moses had asked God to see His glory. That desire had so consumed Moses that God resurrected him from the bosom of Abraham to fulfill his heart’s desire in the person of Jesus.
    The thoughts and desires originating from the Spirit will leave an everlasting imprint even on the physical body. The power of the spiritual realm is visible via the heart and mind.
    And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet
    2 Kings 13:21 KJ
• THE BODY
    The body is controlled by the mind. The question becomes how much of our mind is controlled by Christ? The answer determines the level of health we posses.
    The body itself cannot make the decision to sin; it’s in the soul where evil is conceived.
    Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
    1 Corinthians 6:18 WEY
    The body was created to obey God via the mind, soul and heart. Once the Holy Spirit is in control, every disease and sickness will disappear. Jesus showed us the greatest example of a body so filled with God’s glory that even His clothes shone on the mount of
