The Types of Redemption
92
Hebrews 3:1 says, “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the
Apostle and High Priest of our profession,” or our “confession,” Christ Jesus.
He is the High Priest of our confession. He has already made the sacrifice, and the work has
already been done. But what we say about it affects what we experience of it, and He is able to
work in our life according to what we say about it. He is the Apostle and the High Priest of what
we say, of our confession.
What should you say? You should say what He says. If He says, “You’re forgiven,” you should
say, “I’m forgiven.” If you say, “I’m not. I just don’t feel like I am,” then you’re not giving Him
what He needs to work with in your life.
If He says, “You’re healed,” what should you say? If He says, “You’ll not die but live and
declare the works of the Lord,” and with long life He will satisfy you and show you His
salvation, what should you say? “I don’t think I’ll make it to see 50.” People say that kind of
thing all the time. They think it’s mysterious or something. But you couldn’t pay me to say it.
I want to give the Lord something He can work with in my life. I want to agree with Him.
If He says, “I’m blessed,” I say, “I’m blessed.”
If He says, “I’m forgiven,” I say, “I’m forgiven.”
If He says, “I’m righteous,” I say, “I’m righteous.”
If He says, “I’m healed,” I say, “I’m healed.”
If He says, “I’m rich,” I say, “I’m rich.”
That’s what I say. I’m going to say what He says and give Him something to work with as my
High Priest.
First Timothy 2:5 says, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men; the man
Christ Jesus.” There is Someone Who is the go-between for you and God, Someone Who stands
between the living and the dead. There is Someone Who has already paid the price, and if you’ll
believe on Him, you can be saved—and that salvation includes healing. It’s part of it. The type
was in connection with healing. The plague was stayed. Glory to God.
The Serpent on a Pole
In Numbers 21, we find our fifth type of redemption. I’m only giving you five for now, and then
we’re going to look at the actual work of redemption itself. It must be built into our
consciousness, and it must replace religious ideas.
Ungodly, unbiblical religion is taking millions to hell. It’s one of the worst enemies of the
Church. People believe stuff as if it’s Bible, but it’s not—it’s actually contrary to the Bible.
