“Hell” is a Done Deal to Christians! Use it!
by Marilyn Ann Ellsworth
[All scriptures below are quoted from the King James Version of the Holy Bible.]
Many Christians are pathetic, emaciated excuses for King’s Kids! I know! I used to be one! They are “afraid” of the very thing they have been loosed from! These are the souls about which the Bible writes when it says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge!” God said that about His own people!
Hell is one of those topics most Christians are unlearned about, even many “ministers.” However, there is no good reason to make that mistake. Hell is a vanquished foe! The battle is over! We have already won, through the valiant conquest of the Man, Jesus!
Let's take an enlightening look at Hell from a purely biblical viewpoint:
Even in the Old Testament Psalms 9:17, the wicked were said to be cast into and restricted into Hell. “The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the nations that forget God.”
Jesus’ regenerating work on Calvary’s hill is the crux of His mission to the earth. There, on the cross, what He came to give to mankind... was fulfilled. So, let’s look there first.
1st Peter 3:18, 22. "By which also He (Jesus) went (into Hell) and preached unto the spirits (of men who had died before He was born and then knew the reality of the place called “Hell”) in prison (by Hell), who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him."
2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 6 say basically this same thing: “And the angels which kept NOT their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath (past tense. It is finished.) reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”
Revelation 1:18 “I (Jesus)am He that liveth (present tense), and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of Hell and of Death.”
Revelation 9:1 “And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.”
Revelation 20:1-3 “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand, and he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”
Proverbs 27:20A “Hell and Destruction are never full:”
Now, let’s take a very brief look at the power of Jesus over the things of Satan:
Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him (Satan) “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
Luke 4:18-19 “The spirit of the Lord is upon me because He hath anointed Me (Jesus) to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Now, lets look at who Jesus is now, and who we are in Him:
2 Corinthians 5:17“Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new!”
Luke 12:32 “Fear NOT, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to GIVE YOU the Kingdom!”
Luke 22:29-30 “And I appoint unto you a Kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto Me; that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Matthew 16:19* Jesus speaking says this: “And I will give unto thee (to those who believe in Him and follow Him) the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on the earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.”
1 Peter 2:9 "But ye (all Christians are included in that word “ye”) are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him (God) who hath called you out of darkness into His (Jesus’s) marvelous light.”
1 Corinthians 18:26-27 “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death. For He (God Almighty) hath put all things under His (Jesus’s) feet. But when He (God Almighty) saith all things are put under Him (Jesus’s), it is manifest that He (God Almighty) is excepted, which did put all things under Him (Jesus)."
Ephesians 1:16-23 “Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. That the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of Him (Jesus); The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His (Jesus’s) calling, and what the riches of the glory of His (Jesus’s) inheritance in the saints. And what is the exceeding greatness of His (Jesus’s) power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His (Jesus’s) mighty power, Which He (God) wrought in Christ, when He (God) raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, and set Him (Jesus) at His (Gods’) own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. And hath put all things under His (Jesus’s) feet, and gave Him (Jesus) to be head over all things to the church (of Christians), Which is His (Jesus’s) body, the fullness of Him (God) that filleth all in all.”
Philippians 2:9-11 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him (Jesus) and given Him a name which is above every name, that at the name of JESUS every knee shall bow, of things in Heaven, and thing in earth, and things under the earth (Hell). And that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Matthew 16:18 “And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock (revelation knowledge) I will build my church: and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.”
Revelation 20:14 “And Death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second Death.”
Revelation 21:7 & 8 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. But the FEARFUL, and UNBELIEVING, and the ABOMINABLE, and MURDERERS, and WHOREMONGERS, and SORCERERS, and IDOLATERS, and all LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second Death.” This list are those who have not repented and been born again into Jesus' household and lineage.
CONCLUSION:
If Christians are hidden 'in God,' 'in Jesus,' as it says in Ephesians, Chapter 1, and Jesus has 'all power over every name in Heaven, on earth and in Hell,' how in God’s name can Hell have power over us? It’s impossible!
Satan is NOW bound in darkness! He’s blundering around like a blind man, bumping into those things that refuse to get out of his way.
When he comes in contact with those who don’t use God’s avoidance paths,"the ways of righteousness," which the Bible tells us are higher than earth’s pathways, Satan can deceive those persons; but not for money or even for power. He feeds on Humanity! It is our faith, joy and love he wants, because he is separated from, and can no longer get it, from God!
We, who are created in God’s image, with our own measure of those substances in us, have become his only source of spiritual food!
How do I know that? It’s written in Genesis!
Genesis 2:7 says, “And the Lord God formed man of the DUST of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of Life; and man became a living soul.”
Later, in Genesis 3:14, after Satan deceived Eve and she coaxed Adam to sin against God, God banished them all from the garden, and told the serpent “upon they belly shalt thou go, and DUST shalt thou eat all the days of thy life!”
In both those scriptures the root word is the same.
Children of God! Awake unto righteousness and power. Take everything Satanic and put it in Hell where it belongs. Jesus gave us back the earth and it’s up to us to clean it up for His soon return! It’s not an option; It’s a commandment! Send them to Hell!
Jesus said, “Occupy until I return!” That means take the authority He gave us and hold it in power and majesty until He shows up back here to take us home!
