Notes from:Kenneth Copeland

Fear of Death Abolished by Christ Jesus

TV/Webcast for Sunday, February 23

All scripture noted here is from the King James Bible. These are notes
that I got from the show, please listen to it your self at his Webcast website.

Hebrews 2:
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

On the same day that Jesus bore your sins, sickness, etc. He delivered you from the fear of death. (v. 15). A lot of people worry and do not realize they are doing it. Worry is a manifestation of fear. You can sit with nothing on your mind, in 20 min., without thinking about anything, you will be in fear of something.

that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

The devil does not have power over death anymore. Jesus accepted death, He let death take Him, because He had no sin. He had to accept sin by faith just like we have to accept salvation by faith. Once he made Himself to death, accepting it, then His body could die. He accepted our sin, death came. He bore the death, sicknesses and diseases, our sins. He had to take them and took them to hell for us. The Word says he was the seed of David, but Jesus knew no earthly father. David prophesied the Jesus would come and keep him (David) from staying in hell. Jesus had to come to get David and all the rest from hell. Death was overcome by the light in its own domain, hell itself, and He returned to pick up His body, proving that the Word has power over death. Satan could not keep death on Jesus. Death has now lost its power. Jesus overcame it.

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

The fear of death makes you subject to bondage. Bondage depends on fear.

Romans 8

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

We are not free to go back to bondage to fear again. I am delivered from fear of bondage.
We have spirit of adoption, love from the Father.

2 Timothy 1:


9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Jesus abolished death then, therefore it is abolished here and now.
Satan's ability has been paralyzed and he is now subject to the authority of the Body of Christ.

Luke 1:

73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

Death is the enemy.
