He died and they dragged Him into hell, they released their full fury upon Him. Then, on the third day they found out they had made a terrible mistake! Just as it looked like they were about to annihilate Jesus, suddenly the spiritual realm rocked with the voice of God Almighty. "That's enough!" He said. "Again I will be a Father to Him and again He will be a Son to me." With those words, Jesus was instantly raised from the dead. The first Man ever to be born again from sin to righteousness, He started preaching the gospel right there in hell. With demons bouncing o¤ every wall, He took satan's keys away from him and said, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matthew 28:18). Then—whoosh—He left the bowels of the earth, went up and got His body, and went to heaven where He poured out His blood on the heavenly mercy seat. All You Have To Do Is Pull the Trigger Jesus is the original and ultimate Faith Champion! The moment you believed on Him you became His joint heir. So whether you know it or not, you're the biggest thing on the block! Your Blood Covenant Brother, The LORD Jesus Christ, utterly defeated the devil in the showdown of the ages. Now He's given you the gun with a cocked hammer. All you have to do is pull the trigger! What exactly do I mean by pull the trigger? I mean get out your Bible, find scripture that covers your situation, and fight the good fight of faith with The WORD of God. If you're believing for healing, find healing scriptures and stand on them. Learn them. Talk them. Think them. Write them down and put them up everywhere. Fill your house so full of them that when someone comes in, they see healing scriptures on every door. Then, do what Isaiah 51 said. Look unto Abraham the father of your faith and follow his example. He believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform (Romans 4:17-21). What was Abraham doing in those verses? He was using the faith God had put in him, like a tool, on purpose. Every time the devil called Abraham's attention to his old, dead, wrinkled- up body, he hit back with faith. Every time the devil pointed out how old and barren Sarah was, Abraham pulled the trigger and fired o¤ another round of God's WORD. "Shut up, devil!" he'd say. "I don't consider your lies. I don't consider natural circumstances! I believe what God said and nothing else!" I'm not suggesting you'll come by this easily. This isn't for the wimpy. It's for champions, and you become a faith champion by staying in The B V O V : 7 Your spiritual DNA and Jesus' DNA are exactly the same. Spiritually, you're identical twins. You also have the same faith He has.
