2 Facing Your Own Death by Jim Richards Before my mother died I spent months talking to her and preparing her to cross over. Over the years I have helped many people come to peace with leaving this world. I prefer to call it crossing over instead of dying because it is only physical death. I am always amazed at godly people who know they are saved but have in no way prepared for the inevitable. It is appointed unto man once to die (Heb. 9:27). Fear of death is the greatest of all fears; so like other things we fear, we just don t deal with it. As situations in the world intensify and man considers the possibility of facing the forewarned overthrow of the world by ungodly forces, it causes us all to consider our own mortality, our faith, and our confidence in the Lord. Jesus warned of these days specifically so we would not fear. Y e t, in the western world we have pretty much pushed that to the back of our theological interests and have never faced the inevitability of our own death. Overcoming the fear of death is the key factor in escaping bondage and living the abundant life. In fact, the Bible clearly teaches that we can t enjoy resurrection life until we have entered into death with Him (Phil. 3:10). The writer of Hebrews made it clear that victory over the fear of death was central to Jesus mission. through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Heb. 2:14-15). As a new believer I made the decision early that I was ready to face death for Jesus. As a young street evangelist my life was threatened many times. In fact, I was issued a death threat by a group of parents who did not want me ministering to their teenage children. At one point a man who was planning a mass murder came to my house to kill me first. One night a group of soldiers set an ambush for me. They lured me into meeting them in a parking lot late at night. When I arrived they surrounded me with the intention of beating me into the ground. When I realized I might die or at least be severely injured I began sharing the salvation message and before the night ended the circle around me went from a circle of death to a circle of prayer. They all invited Jesus into their hearts. Every time I went out on the streets I knew I was risking pain and possibly death. Fortunately, I had already accepted the fact that my life is not my own, I have been bought with a price (1 Cor. 6:20)! But as I read and meditated on the Scripture I discovered a IMPACT October

3 secret to freedom from the fear of death as these words of Jesus exploded in my soul. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life (John 5:24-25). This was my first glimpse into the reality that I had already entered into judgment with Jesus at the cross. As we believe, accept, and commit to God s reality (glory), grace works in us to experience and live that reality. God s reality is this: we were already dead in our sins and trespasses (Eph. 2:1). If when we came to Jesus we accepted Him as Lord we surrendered that state of existence (old man). We accepted God s righteous judgment: that old man deserved death. At that moment we were baptized into the body of Christ and had the opportunity to share in His death on the cross. We ve already died and now we are raised up from death. My friend, Bob Harrington, The Chaplain of Bourbon Street, was pressured by his family into seeing a psychiatrist after he was saved. They all thought he had lost his mind. During his intake he was asked, What is your date of birth? Which time? Bob asked. Oh, so you ve been born more than once? they fired back! Well, yes. he explained, I was born once of the spirit and once of the flesh. Before they could answer he explained, If you re only born once you have to die twice, but if you re born twice you only have to die once. Reading this story in his biography played a role in helping me take my first steps in bringing the whole issue of death into perspective. Needless to say, my first quantum leap was this: I am dead, I am crucified with Christ (Gal 2:20). As the years went by and I discovered more about our life in Christ I sought to experience the reality that I was in Christ. As He is so am I (1 John 4:17). I had incredible breakthroughs in prayer and physical healing. It was the daily worshipping, acknowledging, and meditating on the truth that I am in Christ; therefore, I have what He has that brought about my healing from a life-long kidney disease. But after experiencing physical healing I realized that I was still struggling with other attitudinal and behavioral problems. My conscience immediately condemned me. After all, if I was in Christ why wasn t I acting like He acts? The Apostle John pointed out: We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death (1 John 3:14-15). He went even further to say when you don t walk in love your heart will condemn you and you can t receive from God! It was here that I discovered the essence of overcoming the fear of death! I discovered that it was easy to consider a martyrs death, especially if it happened quickly. Plus, as a martyr I would glorify God in my death. But what I discovered to be incredibly hard was dying to self, dying to my opinions of right and wrong, dying to getting my way and then the big one: dying to the need to be right! It was here that I realized I was keeping more of the old man alive than I had ever imagined. We must choose to die to self, not in some religious concept of penance or asceticism, but we must die to self in order to experience the resurrection life of Christ. It was around these issues that I began to meditate on my death with Jesus on the cross. I would imagine all that I am dying with Him. I would see myself dead and in the grave with Him, bound by my sin and the curse of the law. But, like Jesus, I didn t stay in that grave. I would imagine being raised up with Him in newness of life. Then I would imagine myself being in Him when He received the inheritance from the Father. This is our communion with Christ. This is what we share in common with Him: the death, the burial, the resurrection, and the inheritance. To the degree this becomes our reality we will live in newness of life. It is in this time of communion that grace explodes in us, our faith becomes activated, and we experience every good thing that is in us in Christ! I soon discovered there was an unexpected benefit that came along with this experience of death to self: freedom from the fear of physical death. It is doubtful that we can spend our entire Christian life trying to keep our old man alive and be equipped to face physical death, whether it is a natural death or a martyr s death. Moreover, it is impossible to enjoy fullness of resurrection life without first enjoying death to all you were, all you wanted to be, all the limitations of who you would be outside of Him. You can face your death today by aligning your heart in your death with Christ on the cross. When this is your reality all fear is gone! To experience more of the life of God experience the cross. My new series, Communing with Christ: Experiencing the Power of the Cross, is the perfect tool for the person seeking to make this journey into the resurrection life of Jesus. 3 October 2013 IMPACT

4 r e b o Oct s e i n o m i t s e T Hi! I just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed all of Jim s teachings over the past six years or so. His stuff has really changed my life in an awesome way! ~GM~ Thank you so much for sharing your resources! Jim s teaching ministry has been an incredible blessing to me and my family! ~JS~ Dear Dr. Richards, Your book entitled How to Stop the Pain has changed me in ways I can t even explain. It is just the beginning of a new and wonderful way to view and live my life! I thank you and praise God Almighty for your obedience to write this eye-opening book. I am eternally grateful. God Bless Impact! ~TC~ Hi Jim, Thank you for the free download of The Gospel of Peace I have read the first couple of chapters and enjoy the direct style of your writing - you get right to the point. I m watching a video or two every evening from your YouTube channel, taking notes and then applying whatever God is saying to my prayer time. I ve been in a funk (or you might say a night season) spiritually for a long time...have had a hard time connecting to those feelings of God s presence and that He approves of me. Hopefully, God will bring breakthrough to my life through these resources that you have freely shared. Thanks! ~SO~ I am breaking through to much of what Dr. Jim is teaching. Since I have read his Wired for Success about a month ago I have seen manifestation of my blood pressure come down to normal levels while no longer taking medicine for that. Thanks for having this Free Foundations of Faith course online! I have used the information in my own life as well as pointing others to it in order to bring the Good News to a personal level of living in relationship with the Lord rather than religion. ~BK~ IMPACT October I am working my way through The Anatomy of a Miracle right now. This [free] Foundations of Faith course has been very helpful in getting the points down. I have been a Christian for 30 years but can see how I am headed for deep changes as I apply this material. About a year ago I purchased the DVD set, Three Days that Changed the World. I am starting to get this. It was worth the effort. Bless you all in your ministry, ~RH~

5 I had a friend visit me earlier this year and she was every day shutting herself in her room to do a meditation. To be honest, I thought she was a little touched. What the heck, Christian meditation? It just didn t connect with me at all. But the more we talked about Jim s teachings, the more I was impressed with what I heard. When she left I listened to a few things and did the Foundations of Faith course (free online) and I was impressed. I bought the book, The Anatomy of a Miracle, and was blown away. I then purchased Essential Heart Physics (in sections.) I had been overwhelmed for about 28 years with fear about dying at the same age my mum did. I had little breakthroughs where the light of truth shed a shaft of light into my darkness, but nothing brought me full relief. However, when I went through the whole month of Heart Physics somewhere in that time I realized that I didn t have to follow in my mum s footsteps and die young. I didn t smoke (for starters) and I had Jesus as my S a v i o r, and if I lived like I had Him as my Savior then I wouldn t die prematurely. I had a significant breakthrough. I just felt a sense of awe at God s kindness in this regard and that He was not gonna kill me and leave my children suffering like I did when mum died. I had my first son who was 10 months old when she died and I never felt so alone. I was internally petrified and had such fear of death. Over the years I had different breakthroughs. I could trust God for my children easily, but for myself? That was a different matter. I didn t really even know it was there, but I was always in fear of a heart attack or some other gloomy end. Now when my heart does weird things (I was born with a condition that makes it beat somewhat weirdly at times) I just remember that God loves me. Coming into that revelation that God loves me is still overwhelming to me. I found it really hard to think that He (or anyone) could (other than the kids, as it s kind of par-forthe-course to love your mum and I m blessed that my five kids do love me.) I caused relationships around me to crumble (usually by my actions) and I had even walked away from my husband (not the children s father) but over the time I ve been doing Jim s teachings, reading his books, listening to everything I can, spending time with the Lord every day in my heart zone, I ve come to love my husband again. Now, that is a miracle. If anyone had told me even six months ago that we would be back together I would have told them they were insane. I see him and myself in a completely different light. I see the value and worth of everyone. My health is going from strength to strength. There are still areas where I need healing but I m understanding that health is part of the promise I received simply because I am in Jesus. I am blossoming at this stage in my life. I am so grateful for Jim s teachings. As the Lord opens my eyes to His provisions I am going to eventually have every teaching and I would even like to do the Bachelors Program. I was studying one at an institution and I felt further from God than ever and now I feel closer to the Lord than I thought was possible this side of the veil. I am looking forward to finding how to outwork many other areas that are coming into the light and seeing God bring changes into wherever He sees fit. I am happy to be changed more and more into the image of God. I love this new life and I want to start and igroup. I want to start finding like-minded people. I want to share this. I want to spend my remaining years sharing God s love with anyone who s interested. I want to see my children come back to loving God. They ve been put off by religion and now they are walking in their need to be right but God loves them even more than I do, so there is hope. Thank you, Jim, for sharing your insight. May you continue for a long time to share with us. Blessings to all, ~JO~ 5 October 2013 IMPACT

7 Understanding Spirit, Soul and Body The Key to the Treasure Chest of God s Grace by Andrew Wommack Did you know a Christian can actually die from sickness or disease while the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lies dormant within them? Or did you know that believers can be overcome with depression, anger, and bitterness, all the while possessing God s love, joy, and peace in their spirit? It s true they can and they do. Why? Because they really don t understand what changed when they were born again; therefore, they have difficulty receiving the promises of God. The Bible says that every born again believer has undergone a complete inner-transformation. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 5:17-18). It doesn t say that all things are becoming new or have the potential of becoming new; they are new the moment you are born again. But in order for that to make sense you must first understand how God created you. God s Word clearly teaches that we are three-part beings but very few Christians have a functional understanding of spirit, soul, and body in their daily lives. Intellectually, most Christians believe they re three-part beings, but functionally they act as though they re only made up of body and soul. They re confused about the operation of the soul and spirit, seeing them basically as the same thing. Even Strong s Concordance fails to distinguish all three! It defines spirit (pneuma in the Greek) as the rational soul. However, in my study of God s Word I have found a very distinct difference between spirit and soul. Your spirit is your innermost part, not your rational soul. First Thessalonians 5:23 makes it very clear: And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (emphasis mine). If you were talking to me face to face you d be looking at my body but speaking to my soul. The word soul is defined by some as the mind, will, and emotions. While that s certainly true, it s incomplete. The conscience should also be included in that definition. The soul is really what most people call the personality. You can feel both your body and your soul and are receiving information from them all the time. For example, if I put my hand on your shoulder you would know that I touched you. I could also make you feel happy or sad or even hurt you without any physical contact simply by the words I speak. Those words are processed by your mind and the result of their effect is often expressed in your emotions. It s easy to know how your body feels, what s going on in your mind, and what emotions you re experiencing. However, your spirit is much different. It cannot be accessed in any natural way. John 3:6 says, That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jesus meant that there s no direct connection between the spirit and flesh. They are interrelated, but spirit is spirit and flesh is flesh. You simply cannot contact your spirit through your five senses or through your mind, will, or emotions. Therein lies one of the great problems of the Christian life! If you don t understand that spiritual reality can t be felt then you ll be confused when God s Word declares that you have the same power that raised Jesus from the dead living in you (Eph. 1:19-20). If you think truth can be discerned through your natural senses you ll be baffled when the Bible says you re a brand-new creature who can do the same miraculous works that Jesus did (2 Cor. 5:17 and John 14:12). 7 October 2013 IMPACT

8 The apparent disparity between your natural experiences and God s Word will cause you to throw up your hands in frustration and conclude, It must not be true. It s understanding spirit, soul, and body that unlocks the spirit realm so you can experience who you are and what you have in Christ. In the natural the spirit realm can t be seen or felt; the only way to accurately perceive spiritual truth is through the Bible. Simply take God s Word and believe it! Jesus said in John 6:63, It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. God s Word reveals spiritual reality. If you want to know what your spirit is like you must find out from the Word, not rely on emotions or other perceptions. God s Word is spirit and life! When you look at your face in a mirror you aren t really seeing yourself; you re viewing a reflection. Even though it s only a reflection, you have learned to trust it and act on what you see. God s Word is just like that mirror: it reflects perfectly who you are in the spirit. took place in their spirit. Typically, your body and soul are both impacted by what happens at salvation, but that s not where the complete change took place. The good news is you can change your mind. In fact, we are commanded to do so. Romans 12:2 says, And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Your soul can be transformed to the degree that you renew your mind, change your attitudes, and conform to the Word of God. This should happen, and it s in the process of happening, but it didn t happen automatically when you were saved. In your soul old things did not pass away and all things haven t yet become new. For that reason you could actually die from sickness or disease even though you have For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding His natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therin, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed (James 1:23-25). You must look into God s mirror and trust the spiritual reality you see! It reflects your new born-again spirit, your innermost part. However, it does not reflect your body or your soul. Although full payment has been made for your glorified body through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, you still have a corrupted body. One day it will be redeemed and changed into an incorruptible one. For now you still must live in the same body you had before you were saved. Your soul wasn t saved either. You may have the same thoughts and emotions you had before you were saved, and because of that some people seriously doubt whether or not they are saved. They don t understand that the change IMPACT October You must look into God s mirror and trust the spiritual reality you see!

9 all of the power that raised Jesus from the dead residing untapped within your spirit. It s like dying of thirst while leaning against a well full of life-giving water. Think of your soul like the valve on a faucet. It controls the rate and volume of the flow of the spirit into your body. If your mind is renewed and in agreement with the Word the valve is wide open; but if it is in agreement with what your body is feeling or your emotions are experiencing the valve is either closed or in the process of closing. Your soul has the power to keep every drop of life-giving power from ever reaching your physical body or flooding it with the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. If the valve is open you ll experience healing, deliverance, anointing, victory, power, joy, prosperity, and more. So, keep it open! This revelation of the relationship of the spirit, soul, and body has transformed my life. When I realized that God had already given me everything I needed and it s all contained in my spirit, it set me free. All I needed to do was release it. That simple understanding changes everything. The Christian life isn t a process of getting from God ; it s a process of renewing the mind and learning to release what you ve already received. If you don t understand that you have already received all that you will ever need (in your spirit) at salvation, there will always be an element of doubt. You may know it s possible or even promised in the Word, but you ll be trying to perceive it in the mental, emotional, or physical realm. That s a formula for failure. That erroneous concept can also result in a performancebased relationship with God: If I m good enough, if I read the Bible enough, if I pay my tithe, and on and on it goes in an attempt to motivate God to give you what you need. It s the misconception that God hasn t already given you everything and that somehow you have to make yourself worthy enough to get it. You re already worthy because of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. He paid the price for everything you will ever need. In fact, you ve already got it. It s just a matter of understanding the relationship of the spirit to the soul and body. Understanding spirit, soul, and body is critically important to every believer. It s like the key that opens the treasure chest of God s grace. It could be a matter of life and death, and it s the foundation to understanding the rest of Scripture. In 2005 I published my book, Spirit, Soul & Body. It contains my complete teaching on this subject. I am excited to announce that we have completed and released the Spirit, Soul & Body Companion Study Guide. And I have also released the Spanish translation of the book (but not the Study Guide). The Study Guide breaks the book down into lessons with a Lesson Outline, Teacher s Guide, Discipleship Questions, and an Answer Key.

10 Three Days that Changed the World by Jim Richards Romans 10:9-10 is the cornerstone Scripture for evangelicals in leading people to Jesus. While this is an incredible place to give clear cut steps for a concise process, this Scripture contains much more than a formula to be born again. It is, in fact, the cornerstone Scripture for appropriating every aspect of the promises of God! It says: If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Every aspect of salvation, i.e., saved, healed, blessed, prospered, protected, made whole, sanctified, and more comes to us through this process of believing that God raised Jesus from the dead. All of these attributes of salvation exist in a certain state of being: righteousness. Thayer s Lexicon defines righteousness as the state of him who is such as he ought to be. God created man to be healthy, happy, prosperous, peaceful, and every other imaginable enjoyable state. In the Garden of Eden man was as he should be and in Heaven man will be as he should be. Our concepts of righteousness are more focused on the fruit of righteousness than the state of righteousness. Moral and ethical living is just one aspect of how we should be. Healed, delivered blessed, prospered, protected, and set apart are just a few more aspects of how we should be. We ve made righteousness a goal instead of a state of being and as such we lock ourselves into a legalistic mindset. A goal is obtained by accomplishment or labor. A state of being already exists and is entered into by belief. IMPACT October Righteousness, like the Kingdom of God, already exists; we don t have to create it, it s something that we enter into internally. It s strictly a heart issue. We can create carnal substitutes for any of the states of being that God offers. We can have circumstantial peace, but circumstantial peace only lasts as long as all external circumstances support it. We can have a joy or happiness based on obtaining the things we desire but, once again, this is subject to the actions of others. We can only maintain it as long as the world around us gives us what we want. Jesus offers us a joy that s independent of circumstances and He offers a peace that s beyond anything that makes sense. Likewise, the appearance of righteousness can be manufactured, but as Jesus told the Pharisees, You are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. (Matt. 23:27-28) God looks on the heart. Everything God desires to do in you, He desires to do in and through your heart. The beginning of our walk with Jesus as Lord, as well as every step we take from that point forward, should revolve around what we believe in our heart about Jesus resurrection from the dead. We only have in salvation what

11 Jesus accomplished through the resurrection! There s no other place to look and there s no other process. Sadly, we re taught to only look to the resurrection of Jesus as it applies to the new birth! But when we need healing, peace, prosperity, or all the other provisions of salvation, we look to individual Scriptures and attempt to create an intellectual comprehension of those Scriptures independent of the resurrection of Jesus. Every scriptural promise has its ultimate realization and power in the resurrection. In Eph. 1:16-23 Paul prayed for the church that the Father of glory may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened For the remaining verses of this chapter he points out that the power that works in us is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. What we have, we have because He obtained it in the resurrection. We partake in it because we are in Him! The most essential aspects of our faith revolved around three questions: 1) what did Jesus conquer and obtain through the resurrection? 2) Am I in Him? 3) Do I believe that being in Him qualifies me to share in these benefits? If w live by resurrection power we must know what Jesus accomplished through the resurrection. This is where Rom. 10:9-10 come into play in every faith equation! In Isaiah 53 we see much of what Jesus endured from the cross to the throne. But the prophet begins that chapter by asking, Who has believed our report? Very little of the biblical report of the death, burial, and resurrection is believed by the church. This religious blindness is the primary result for the spiritual impotence of most believers and the church s failure in the world. We believe the historical account of the life of Jesus but deny most of the biblical account of His death and resurrection. When Jesus said It is finished most people believe the work of salvation was completed. But in actuality, the true work of salvation had hardly begun. Kittel s Theological Dictionary of the New Testament may be the foremost authority in New Testament Greek. Listen to Kittel s definition of this Greek word: This verb means to carry out, to execute, to fulfill, to carry out instructions, to bring to an end, to fulfill obligations. Jesus had fulfilled or carried out all of God s directives in His earthly life. All of the prophecies had been fulfilled. What started on the cross (Jesus becoming our sin) had its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus taking all the curse of the law we deserved. This didn t end with physical death. The debt was not paid until He was alienated from God in the abode of the wicked dead. He was held in the grave by our sins and by the curse of the law, alienated from God. But Jesus believed God s promise to Him. The book of Jonah and many of the Psalms graphically portray His struggle of faith. The most misunderstood reality of the resurrection is that Jesus became sin. He died the death of the wicked. For Him to be raised from the dead He had to use His faith to obtain righteousness. This is why the Scriptures refer to a righteousness that comes by the faith of Jesus. He used His faith to obtain righteousness so He could be raised from the death of sin. Rom. 8:29 says, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Jesus wasn t the first person to be raised from the dead, but He was the first to be raised from the death of sin. Just as we are raised up in righteousness at the new birth, He was the first, the Captain of our salvation, the Author and Finisher of our faith, the first and the last in every way! He was raised up in righteousness (as He should be according to God s Word.) He used His faith in God s Word and received righteousness. Because we are in Him we have that same righteousness. Jesus, having been raised up, conquered the devil and stripped 11 October 2013 IMPACT

12 him of all authority, entered the Father s presence, received an inheritance, and sat down at the right hand of the Father. Because we are in Him we share in all this with Him. We are seated with (in) Him, in heavenly places. Our inheritance is the same inheritance that He received from the Father. We don t have anything that He doesn t have and He doesn t have anything that He doesn t share with us. As He is, (right now seated at the right hand of the Father) so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17) Our faith isn t rooted in the historical Jesus; it s in the resurrected Lord. We believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead after having become our sin and taking the curse that we deserved. But He used His faith to conquer all of that. The last catch to this scenario is that we have to believe in our heart! This isn t a mere intellectual acknowledgement of the facts; it must become a heart belief. There are many aspects of believing in our heart but the primary indicator is found in the fact that what we believe in our heart is the core of our identity, who and how we see ourselves. If I believe in my heart that Jesus is raised up over sin, death, Hell, and the devil, I believe that I, too, am raised up. If I believe in my heart that through the resurrection Jesus obtained an inheritance, I believe that I, too, have obtained an inheritance. This is the heart of Paul s prayer in Ephesians. The revelation missing from the church today is the in Him realities that come through faith in the resurrected Lord. In my series, Three Days That Changed the World, I share the biblical truths about the death, burial, and resurrection that will become the basis for your faith. You ll experience an entirely new confidence as you shift your faith from the historical life of Jesus to the resurrected Lord. Every aspect of our salvation depends on what we believe about the resurrection of Jesus. Salvation wasn t finished on the cross; salvation was finished after Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father and received the inheritance which He freely shares with all who believe. In this incredible series you will: Learn God s report of the cross Share in the exchanged life with the resurrected Lord Find out what really happened after Jesus died Discover the secret to resurrection power Identify the missing element to faith in Jesus Share in the element of New Covenant realities This series is an absolute must for every believer who desires to live in resurrection power!
