TOPIC: “THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTED CHRIST”!! (Part 1)

TEXT:  PHILIPPIANS 3:10 (Shows Christ as OUR JOY) [rejoicing; pleasure; delight]!

“That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable unto his death”.

(Synonyms for power):   [potency; potential; might; force; energy; vigor; ability].

There is “potency, potential, might, force, energy, and vigor” in the "power of the resurrected Christ” that dwells in you which gives you the “ability” to do what God has assigned you to do for His Kingdom and glory! 

• 1 John 4:4: Because “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”.
• Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
  Who is CHRIST?:  “Christ” is the incarnating nature, origin, source, law, or rule of the God-Man that resides on the inside of us.  Christ is the Perfect Word or thought of God, which unfolds into or reveals the true man and is blessed with eternal life by measuring up to the God standard, thus fulfilling the law of righteousness.  Righteousness whether in the Old Testament (tsedaqah’) or the New Testament (dik’aios) means rightness; justice; moral virtue; innocence; holiness; to be upright.       

• Mark 1:11: “Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”.                                                               CHRIST is the “Divine Man”.  Jesus is the name that represents an individual expression [representation; interpretation; appearance; manifestation] of “the Christ”.  

• Matthew 1:21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:  for he shall save his people from their sins.
  Christ existed long before Jesus.  It was the Christ Mind in Jesus that said, “And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was”:  John 17:5.
  [Christ and Jehovah]:  Jehovah of the Old Testament is the “I AM”, or “Christ” of God invisible: the Messiah is the promise of the visible manifestation of that “I AM”, or Christ:  and Jesus Christ is the fulfillment in man of that original spiritual “I AM”, or “Jehovah”.
  JEHOVAH defined in Hebrew is Yehovah’, meaning, (the) self-Existent or Eternal.  “The” makes “self-Existent or Eternal, definitive (conclusive; final; ultimate; decisive; absolute).           When one speaks of “self”, that’s in relation to “the identity and character” of a person.           This definition of Jehovah goes to another root word hayah’, meaning to exist; be or become.  The last root word of Jehovah is havah’ meaning “to breathe, to be, to be thou”!           “Thou” is a personal pronoun meaning “YOU”!  In other words God, Jehovah, and Christ is “man” manifested in “flesh form”!  1 John 4:17: As he is, so are we, in this world!!!
  CHRIST: [Greek] (christos’): [Hebrew - mashiyach – maw-shee’-akh):  both meaning anointed, the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus:  continuing in the Greek - (chri’o) (through the idea of contact); to smear or rub with oil, to consecrate to an office or service: anoint: / (chra’omai) to furnish what is needed; (give an oracle, “graze” [touch slightly], light upon), to employ or to act toward one in a given manner: entreat, use.
  CHRIST is the revelation of the Father in flesh form in Jesus Christ and us His people as well:

• St. John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, the Word was God, and the Word was with God: 
  Vs 2: And the same (Us the Church) was in the beginning with God.
• Vs 14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.
•  St. John 14:7: If you had known me, you should have known my Father also:  and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him. 
• Vs 9-10: Jesus said unto him, “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip”?  He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how says thou then, “Show us the Father”?  “Believe thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me”?  “The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself:  but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works”.
   Hebrew 1:1-3: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express (representation; appearance; manifested) image (picture; reflection; double; counterpart; portrait; figure; representation) of his person (body in human form), and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
  Jesus “being sat down on the right hand of the Father” is not a physical position outside of the Father, but it’s Him being established, substantiated, settled and confirmed in a place of power in God!
  Jesus Christ:  CHRIST is the perfect thought of God for man.  JESUS is the perfect expression of the God- Man.  JESUS CHRIST is a uniting of both, the thought (idea) and the expression (manifestation) of the PERFECT MAN DEMONSTRATED [proven; confirmed; substantiated; established; shown, or manifested in flesh form]!
  CHRIST is the understanding (awareness) that you are fully God and fully man!  

• 1 John 4:17: As he is, so are we, in this world!                                                                                              Jesus was fully God and fully Man!

• St. John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God”: 
• vs 14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.
  We the “Body” of Christ the “Church” are included in this:  John 1:2: And the same was in the beginning with God.
  SAME is from the root word hou’tos, which means the he (she or it), these, this man, she, they, this woman, who.  This is in relation to “people”.  So we were there in the beginning with God along with Jesus.  That’s why Genesis 1: 26 states: “Let US make man in our image, after our likeness”.
  WHO IS CHRIST?  

• 1 Corinthians 10:4: He was “the Rock” that followed the children of Israel in the wilderness.   “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:  and that Rock was Christ”.
•  Daniel 2:34-35: He was “the Stone” that was cut out without hands that smote the image (Nebuchadnezzar built) upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
  Daniel 2:35: Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them:  and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. 
  Matthew 21:42: Jesus said unto them, “Did you never read in the scriptures, The Stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner:  this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes”?  [Also Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; 1 Peter 2:7, speak of “The Stone that the builders rejected”]! 
  Jesus was not born Christ, He was CALLED or (made) Christ:  

• Matthew 1:16: And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born JESUS:
  BORN: from genna’o, meaning to produce; beget; to regenerate: begat; bear; bring forth; be delivered; conceive; make; spring.  It goes on to gen’os, meaning “kin”:  kind; kindred; offspring; nation; stock; diversity; generation.  And finally to gin’omai, meaning to cause to be (“gen”-erate), in relation to become (come into being); arise; be fulfilled.
  Matthew 1:16: Who is called CHRIST:
  CALLED from the Greek word leg’o, meaning to lay forth, relate in words [usually of systematic or set discourse]; to mean, say, speak, tell, name, put forth, show, utter.  [Leg’o, focuses on the words that are uttered, the thought of the mind which is correlative to the spoken word as their necessary condition].
  Or the Word brought forth in “flesh form” through the womb of a woman:                

• St. John 1:14: And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
  WHO IS CALLED CHRIST?
•  Jesus was in the ship sleeping while a storm was raging and the disciples woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown”? 

• Mark 4:36-41: And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship.  And there were also with him other little ships.  And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves bear into the ship, so that it was now full.  And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:  and they awake him, and say unto him, “Master, carest thou not that we perish”?  And he arose, and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, “Peace, be still”.  And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  And he said unto them, “Why are you so fearful”?  “How is it that you have no faith”?  And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, “What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him”?
  That was JESUS that was asleep, but they awoke “CHRIST”, and He “rebuked (or epitima’o, forbade intensely or strictly charged or reprimanded) “the wind”.
   “The wind”:  the anemos, the tempestuous (violent) winds of the workings of the devil (diab’olos) [a traducer; Satan; false accuser; slanderer]:  Satan; Lucifer; Belial; Leviathan.
  SATAN is the first one we’ll take a look at:

• Satan: Revelation 12:9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world:  he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
• Revelation 20:2: And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
  SATAN is from the Greek root word satanas’, meaning the accuser.  And goes to the Hebrew root word satan’, meaning opponent; to attack; accuse; adversary; resist.  Satan is a liar and accuser of the brethren.  He or she that comes against or opposes what you are trying to do for God is Satan.  In Matthew 16:20-23, Jesus was telling His disciples in verse 21, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

• Vs 22-23: Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, “Be it far from thee, Lord:  this shall not be unto thee”.  But Jesus turned, and said unto Peter.  “Get thee behind me, Satan:  thou art an offense unto me:  for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men”.
  [Peter was an apostle and Jesus called him “Satan” because he was opposing what Jesus had to do and Jesus wasn’t letting anything or anyone interfere with Him doing, what God had sent Him to do!].
  [Just “FYI” (for your information), if you unscramble the letters in “Satan”, it’s “Santa”.  This is a lie from the enemy, Santa Claus, that’s been told to children for years and still is.  It’s a tactic of the enemy to hook his claws into the minds of people to deceive them at an early age just as religious order has done: 
• Colossians 2:8: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
  This is why we must come to maturity in CHRIST JESUS:
• Ephesians 4:11-14: And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:  that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.
  Lucifer:  Isaiah 14:12: How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!  How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations.
  Lucifer in the Hebrew is heylel’, from 1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning star/(1984-halal’) to be clear (orig. of sound, but usually of color); to shine; to make a show, to boast, to celebrate; to stultify: praise, glory, be mad, foolish, be fools, commended, rage, give in marriage, renowned.
  Son (ben-bane) a son (as a builder of the family name); grandson, subject, nation, quality or condition, old, first, man, young/(banah’) to build, build up, builder, made, built again, repair, set up, have children, obtain children.  [Banah’ means to build, establish, construct, rebuild].
  Of the morning (shach’ar) dawn; day, early; dayspring; light; riseth/(shachar’) to dawn, ie be (up) early at any task (with the implication of earnestness); to search for (with painstaking):  seek early, diligently seek; enquire early; rise (seek) betimes, seek (diligently) early, in the morning).
  Lucifer was not an angel flying around with decorated wings as I was told growing up, but Lucifer was a man that was amongst the other “morning stars” and the sons of God that shouted for joy that God spoke to Job about in Job 38:7, that was a worshipper of God and gave God praise!!!  It was at the dawn of creation that God endowed them (male and female) with His dominion, authority, and power to rule and reign over the creation, because they painstakingly and diligently enquired and sort after the things of God and was pleasing God by being His ambassadors and representatives in the earth!  But Lucifer got the “bighead”, became renowned, and began to boast in himself and not in God, and God brought him down because of pride from the position of power he was in.  Remember, his name in the Hebrew is heylel’, meaning “morning star”, but it is from another root word halal’, which is the same as “praise”.  When Lucifer heard someone saying halal’, he thought they were praising him until they added the “lujah” to it, then he knew they were praising God and not him!!  He had developed an “I” disease and wanted to put himself in the place of God but God had a remedy for him and brought him down because He (God) wasn’t having it and didn’t!                         God is THE ALMIGHTY, THE MOST HIGH, OUR CREATOR!!

• Isaiah 14:13: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:  I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 
• I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.  Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.  They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, “Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms.
  Belial (Deuteronomy 13) [God is warning His people against idolatry - leaving Him and worshipping idol gods]:

• Vs 12-13: If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known”.
• 2 Corinthians 6:15: And what concord hath Christ with Belial?  Or what part hath he that believes with an infidel?
  Belial or Baal in the Hebrew and Greek means worthlessness, without profit, destruction, wickedness, ungodly, ungodly men, evil.  Belial is another name for Satan.
  Children (sons or daughters) of Belial are those that are considered wicked or ungodly.  Remember anyone considered “ungodly” had to first be “godly”.  To apostasy means total desertion of one’s professed faith or party.
  In 2 Corinthians 2:14, when it says “Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers”, it’s not necessarily talking about folk that are “not saved” only, because there are those in the church that are “unbelievers” as well.  It depends upon how much one knows about the “revelation of Jesus Christ” that will determine which category they fit in.
   All you have to do is tell some Christians that they don’t have to wait for Jesus to come back and get them because He’s already here and then listen to the “unbelieving response”!  When Jesus Himself said:

• John 14:18: I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you!
  We must understand that the Day of Pentecost was the fulfilling of John chapter 14!
  Tell some Christians that you don’t have to die to be resurrected but that they can be resurrected right now while they’re alive, in Christ, because He is the Resurrection!  [And listen to the response]!

• John 11:25: I am the resurrection and the life:  he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
  This statement was not just for Lazarus but us as well:  

• John 5:28: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice:
  [The “graves” here are not the ones out in the cemeteries, but the bodies that people are living and walking around in, even sitting on church pews].
  Matthew 23:27 (Jesus talking to the Pharisees): Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  You are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
  Luke 11:44: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  You are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. 
• John 5:29: And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
   (This happens now, not on some “great getting up morning” or “judgment day” as religion preaches). 
  John 3:17-18: God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  He that believes on him is not condemned:  but he that believes not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
  I’ve come forth to “the resurrection of life” because I believe in the Name of the Son of God.  The “name” not just because it’s Jesus, that to, but the name also meaning the authority that God sent Him in and that was the authority to destroy the works of the devil and to give God’s people the victory NOW over sin, death, hell, and the grave!!!
• Ephesians 2:1: And you  hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins:
• Vs 6: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
  There are “Belial’s” in the churches today, those with destructive thoughts and evil tendencies:  

• Revelation 18:1-2: And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become (present tense) the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
• Matthew 23:33 (Jesus speaking to the scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites): You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?
  Leviathan: Job 41:1: Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook?  Or his tongue with a cord which thou lets down?
  Leviathan is defined in the Hebrew as a serpent; the constellation of the dragon; as a symbol of Babylon.  We know that Babylon means “confusion”!  There is plenty of that in the church body today according to Colossians 2:8.  We also know that the “dragon” is not some mythical monster as defined in the dictionary, but in God’s language as written in Revelation 12:3: There appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.  This is the social system of government on all levels encompassing that which is political, economical, ecclesiastical, ideas, philosophies, vain deceit, traditions and teachings of men that has held God’s people captive for eons of time even from the Book of Genesis. 
  The seven headed dragon in Revelation is – Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Persia, Rome (government ruling in Jesus’ day), and Papal Rome.  These are the forms of government that has held God’s people in bondage over eons of time even from the Book of Genesis until the time present.  But God has always delivered His people and He will deliver us from this beast system that’s trying to devour God’s people even today.

• Revelation 17:11: And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.
  [This is the system we’re living under and experiencing today!]
  [The “dragon” is the system and the “beasts” are the men running the system working behind the scene and does not have a heart for the people]!
• Proverbs 29:1-2: He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.  When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice:  but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.
  [America is in mourning, but God is still our deliverer!!!].
  But LEVIATHAN is the most deadly of these four enemies, because he’s the one that works in the confines of “religious order”!  He promotes the doctrine of death by polluting “the water of life” with his messages of death telling God’s people to “hold on and one of these days Jesus is going to come back and deliver you” (when He is already come and finished the work His Father gave Him to do) (John 17:4).  Leviathan is telling God’s people they will overcome when they get to heaven and put on their long white robe:  (when we’re already in heaven being in Christ [Ephesians 2:6]) – (And we already have on the white robe which is the “righteousness of God that we have become” [2 Corinthians 5:21; Revelation 19:8]).
  The first part of Leviathan is “Levi”.  [Let's take a look at the words contained in his name].  The Levites were the priests and that’s the problem in the church today because of the death messages they’re pouring out to the people, which has become “evil” and “vile” and caused God’s people to die and not “live”!  That’s why there was a necessity of the change from the Levitical priesthood to the Melchisedec priesthood:

• Hebrews 7:11-12: If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?  For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
  We that are in the class of the “sons of God” are under the Melchisedec priesthood as Jesus was and is:  

• Vs 13-16: For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.  It is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.  And it is yet far more evident:  for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there arises another priest, who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
• 1 John 4:17: As he is, so are we, in this world!
  Back to Mark 4:36-41: And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship.  And there were also with him other little ships.  And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves bear into the ship, so that it was now full.  And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:  and they awake him, and say unto him, “Master, carest thou not that we perish”?  And he arose, and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, “Peace, be still”.  And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  And he said unto them, “Why are you so fearful”?  “How is it that you have no faith”?  And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, “What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him”?
   “The wind”:  the anemos, the tempestuous (violent) winds of the workings of the devil (diab’olos) [a traducer; Satan; false accuser; slanderer]:  Satan; Lucifer; Belial; Leviathan that attacks the four quarters of the earth (our heart, soul, mind, and body), the areas Jesus said that we must love God with in Mark 12:30, and if we don’t totally yield them to God, He will allow the four winds of the enemy to come upon us, not for destruction but correction.   
  Wind is also from the root word aer, meaning to breathe unconsciously; respire.  It denotes “atmosphere” which is aura, mood, or environment that was being controlled by these manifestations of the devil – Satan; Lucifer; Belial; Leviathan. 

• Mark 4:39: “And “said to the sea”:  (the nations of people) - Revelation 17:15: “The waters which thou saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues”.
   “Peace be still”:  (sioopa’o) silence, a hush; muteness, in relation to involuntary stillness, or inability to speak; to be calm (as quiet water):  hold (one’s) peace.                                                     (EXPL):  Jesus here took authority over those evil spirits or that violent atmosphere of evil that was upon them and calmed the violence!
  He that believes can become what he believes!  

• Proverbs 27:3: For as he thinketh: (sha’ar’-shaw-ar’) [to act as gate-keeper; to estimate].
  [It is up to you what you let into your mind, in relation to thoughts and whatever you let in is what will reside there]: 
  In his heart so is he: [not the muscle that pumps blood throughout the body]:  but the   (ne’phesh) [mind; inner-self; all that is within him]:    
  So let your thoughts be good and positive!! 
• Philippians 4:8: Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
  It took Jesus thirty years TO BECOME WHAT HE BELIEVED!  He went to the synagogue and read the scriptures and realized it wasn’t just a book, but it was Him the Word was speaking to.  WE MUST MOVE FROM BELIEVING TO BEING!!
   For God to bring us to Himself, He had to give up Himself!  When Jesus rose from the grave the work was not yet finished:  He had to make His “ASCENSION”:  

• John 20:17: Jesus said to Mary, “Touch me not, I have not yet ascended to my Father:  but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God”. 
  Mary couldn’t touch Jesus yet because He had not yet made the blood deposit on the mercy seat of the Father.  Every year on the Day of Atonement when Aaron went into the Most Holy Place to make the sacrifice for himself, his household, and the children of Israel, no man could be in the tabernacle until Aaron comes out:

• Leviticus 16:17: And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goes in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
  So where did Jesus have to go to make the blood deposit?  He certainly didn’t have to sail off beyond the blue.  The “blood deposit” was made in the disciples: 

• John 20:21-23: Then said Jesus to them again, “Peace be unto you:  as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you”.  And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost:  whosesoever sins you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins you retain, they are retained”.
  When Jesus breathed on them, He breathed the “blood” of God into them: 

• 1 John 5:7-8: There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:  and these three are one.  And there are three that bear witness in earth (our body), the Spirit, and the water (Word), and the blood:  and these three agree in one.
  This was the fulfilling of “the blood of sprinkling” [the shedding of the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ on Calvary’s Cross]: 

• Hebrews 12:24: And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things that that of Abel.                     
   [Abel’s blood cried for revenge, but Jesus’ blood said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34)].
  This is the same “blood” that the LORD God breathed into Adam in Genesis 2:7.  That’s why the LORD God called the man “Adam”, which means “to show blood in the face”. 
  Blood in Hebrew is “dam” (dawm).  Man (male & female) in Genesis is called “ADAM” (aw-dawm’), because they had God’s blood in them:
• Genesis 5:1-2: This is the book of the generations of Adam in the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
  And so do we have God’s blood in us by the Holy Ghost!  That’s what happened at Pentecost, God breathed His very blood into those that were there and He’s still breathing His blood into His people that are open to receive Him today by the Holy Ghost!!!
  In John 20:17, when Jesus told Mary He had not yet ascended unto His Father, this is when He had to along with making the blood deposit to the Father, He also had to deposit that flesh body back into the “SPIRIT” realm it originated from which was Spirit, so that He could deposit that same flesh in us, His Body, the Church!  Jesus was saying to Mary, “I and My Father have got to be you – not just be in you, but be you, because you can never be what you should be unless I and my Father are in you – we must be one! 

•  John 14:20: At that day you shall know that I am in my Father and you in me, and I in you. 
• Vs 23: If a man love me he will keep my words:  and my Father will love him, and we will make our abode with him. 
• Ephesians 5:30: We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.   
  When I hear people talking about God and yet at the same time they’re pointing up toward the sky, I can see that they really don’t know who God really is or where He is.  

• 2 Corinthians 6:16: What agreement hath the temple of God with idols?  For you are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them:  and I will be their God, and they shall be my people”.
• 1 John 4:4: Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
  Vs 17: As he is, so are we, in this world.
