Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – July 16, 2025 (The Fourth Day – Genesis 1:14-19) Acts 2:33 – Therefore, God exalted Him to His right hand. And having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured out this, which you now see and hear. Jesus told a general audience at the Feast of Tabernacles that rivers of living water would flow out of their lives if they would receive the gift of God He had to give. However, the gift of God (or the Promise the Father) would only be available after Jesus paid for the sin of men, destroyed Satan’s stronghold, and then was raised up from the dead by the power of the Holy Ghost. After having spoiled principalities and powers, He would then be exalted to the right hand of the Father and give His redeemed the executive power to administer His government through the preaching of the Gospel (John 7:37-39; Luke 24:49; Ephesians 1:19-20; Colossians 2:15; Isaiah 9:7). After Jesus had completely defeated Satan and destroyed his claim and authority over men, He was exalted to the highest place of authority – the Father’s right hand. The absolute reign of Satan was over, and proof had been provided that the reign of Jesus Christ had begun (John 12:31, 16:11; Hebrews 2:14; 2 Timothy 1:10). Through the baptism in the Holy Ghost, the Church was given the power to execute the authority and ministry of Jesus on the Earth, which is the proof of His resurrection (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:20). The saints were given complete power over all of the works of Satan – to cast out devils, cure those oppressed with sickness and disease, and to have all authority over sin and iniquity and every work of darkness (1 John 3:7-8, 4:4, 5:18; Luke 10:19; Mark 16:17-18; Ephesians 6:10-18; John 14:12).
