Text: Genesis 3:4-5
Genesis 3:4-5: And the serpent said unto the woman, “Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the
day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil”.
Now the serpent was more subtil
than any beast of the field which the Lord
God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, “Ye shall not eat
of every tree of the garden”?
Genesis is showing the genes of God, and how He continually duplicates and replicates Himself. We are in Chapter 3 talking about the “fall of man” - what brought about the temptation, the failure, and the fall of mankind.
Genesis 3:1: Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field.
The serpent was not a snake.
In Hebrew serpent means to whisper, enchant, charm, and that’s what the serpent did to the
woman.
In the scriptures Matthew
12:34, Jesus referred to those Pharisees as vipers: “O
generation of vipers”. In Matthew
23:33, he referred to them as “Ye serpents, ye
generation of vipers”.
Jesus was talking to people,
calling them vipers and serpents.
Same thing in Genesis;
this serpent
was a person (or people) that
deceived the woman.
Revelation 12:9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan.
Satan is a proper noun, which
always begins with a capital letter. In
scripture, Satan is always capitalized.
In Matthew
16:23 Jesus turned,
and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me,
Satan.
Satan means the opponent of that which is good; anything that is
opposite of God; that which brings about resistance or is adverse to God. The devil
is called the accuser of the brethren. Satan also means to attack. Any person
who goes against what God is doing is Satan.
John 6:70
Jesus answered them, “Have not I
chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil”?
This tells us that that spirit - that serpent - was a lying spirit that lied to the woman (the
church), and it wasn’t a snake but a person - someone who had
already been in that place of power but lost it. Now these people are trying to draw the Adam race
of people out of that place and did, and Lucifer can be included as one of
those.
This serpent
was and is an enemy of God.
There were sons of God and morning star messengers in the beginning.
Remember what God said to Job in Chapter
38:7: Where were you when the morning
stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Lucifer was a morning star messenger, so he was
there between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
I use to think that
Lucifer was a great big decorated angel with wings, until God brought
revelation truth to me. Lucifer was a man, and that’s what the word
says. Lucifer’s name means “son
of the morning”.
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!
God brought him down because of his pride. He was trying to usurp authority over God.
Isaiah 14:16-17: 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; that made the world as a wilderness, and
destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
SON in Hebrew is “ben” (pronounced bane), meaning builder
of the family name. MORNING in Hebrew is “boqer” (pronounced bo’qer), meaning dawn
(as the break of day): goes to another
root word “baqar” (pronounced
baqar’), meaning to plow; break forth, inspect, admire; care for;
consider; enquire; seek; search.
A “plow” is a farm implement used to cut and turn over soil.
Lucifer was one of the many “kingdom messengers” that
stepped out at the “dawn of creation”
that broke forth through admiration,
consideration and inspection (looking carefully for), seeking, searching and enquiry,
bringing deliverance to others that were in darkness by penetrating their minds
with the light of understanding through revelation knowledge at work in them through
the dominion, authority, and power of God.
But his “pride” became his downfall. Isaiah
14:16 states: “Is this the man” (after his
fall): this word “man” in Hebrew is “Iysh” (eesh), meaning, a man as an individual, that had
become a mortal (one that is frail; feeble; melancholy; incurable; desperately
wicked; woeful; sick). Lucifer
had moved out of his place of “divinity”
and fallen into the state of “humanity”.
The definition of angel
is a messenger. We are angels or messengers. God has angels in
the natural and spiritual realm. This tells us that if there wasn’t a world in
existence and became chaotic and fell into darkness, even before the Adam race
of people, then why did God in Genesis
1:3 say, “Let there be light”?
Let means to “allow or give permission to”.
God had already created, now He was allowing what had been
created and fell into chaos, to be restored.
Jude 5-6: I will therefore put you in remembrance,
though you once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of
the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And
the angels (messengers) which kept not their first estate but
left their own habitation, he
hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the
great day.
Revelation 12:9: And the great dragon (social systems, governments, ideologies, philosophies,
teachings of men, traditions of men, rudiments of the world, vain deceit) was
cast out that old serpent, called
the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and
his angels were cast out with him.
This falls in line with
Lucifer. This shows that Lucifer had
become part of this “serpent” group.
Isaiah 14:16: 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; that made the world as a wilderness.
You see what Lucifer did and what
God said in Revelation in relation
to the dragon. It all ties in.
God uses people, and God is a Spirit. Satan is a spirit of evil, but he uses people
also. Same God then, same God now. Same devil then, same devil now.
Genesis 3:4:
And the serpent said unto the woman, “Ye
shall not surely die”.
The woman was not a female. The females
were already on the scene when the woman
was mentioned. The “females” were already a
part of the Adam race of people!
Genesis 1:26-27: And God said, Let us make man (Adam)
in
our image, after our likeness: and let them
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth. So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
God created, and made man
(Adam) and said let them (male and female) have dominion. Females were already on the scene with the
males and had the same "name".
- 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.
Apostasy means total
desertion of one’s professed faith or party.
“Adulterate” in Webster comes from the Latin word adultero, meaning to add; mix
(“ad” means to alter): to debase
or deteriorate by an admixture of foreign or baser materials.
When the serpent (the whisperer; liar) spoke to the woman, he altered (change) or changed her vision from that which was life to that which
was death.
Genesis 3:1:
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the
woman, Yea, hath God said, “Ye shall not
eat of every tree of the garden”?
Verse 2: And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden.
First of all, she shouldn’t have been conversing
with the enemy (and that’s what we shouldn’t do) or give any place to the
enemy.
Jesus said in John 10:10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and
to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it
more abundantly.
You see how today God has called us, and we have accepted
and responded to the call, and we are called Christians. God had a body of people then who were
called Adam, which means to show blood in the face. We still have God’s blood in
our face. The "serpent" is still trying to deceive God's people today.
Sometimes you can be talking to people about the revelation that God has
given to you, and you can hear the serpent
hissing and see the venom
pouring out of them in disagreement.
They are coming against what God is doing because it’s not what they are
used to.
Those waiting for the antichrist to come have missed it
because the antichrist is already here. The word “anti” means, to be against. There are those that are already "against
Christ" when they reject His Word.
- 1 John 4:2: Hereby know you the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:This “coming” doesn’t mean coming in the flesh as “Mary’s baby” (we know that happened). But this “coming” means that He is come (is present; has arrived; is manifested) in your flesh and my flesh!Ephesians 5:30: We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.(1 John 4:17): As he is, so are we, in this world.
- Vs 3: And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.Those that are preaching and teaching that one of these days Jesus is coming back and get us and take us back with Him, is not of God. How can you separate Jesus and the Holy Ghost?St. John 14:16-17: And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (parak’letos or intercessor; consoler; advocate), that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but you know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.Vs 18: I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you!! He is already here and lives in us!
The enemy is always
lying to people trying to turn them away from what God is telling them to do.
: [Jesus said]:
John 8:44: He
was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is
no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 10:10: The thief
cometh not, but for to steal and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly.
Those trees in the garden were people! If people weren’t there other than “Adam
and Eve”, how did the king of Tyrus, Pharaoh King of Egypt, the
Assyrian,
and other great leaders (men) get into the “garden
of Eden”?
- Ezekiel 28:12-13: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
- Ezekiel 31:2-3: Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? Behold the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.Vs 8-9: The cedars in the “garden of God” could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
These “trees” were in the same “garden” Adam
and Eve were in. This garden
wasn’t a beautiful place with flowers and trees and Adam and Eve running around
naked, it was a place of dominion, authority, and power!!!
The same thing is going on today amongst God’s people (hatred; envy; jealousy; unbelief; etc). The same battles we are going through today,
people went through those battles in years gone by, even in Genesis.
- Ecclesiastes 1:9-10: The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us.
It’s evident
that Adam (male & female) (the people who were in charge of the creation)
already had brought this woman (the
church that was taken from the side of the Adam people) into a place of
dominion, authority and power by teaching these people the word of God in its
fullness. But the “serpent” (the enemy) got
hold of her (the woman) and lied to her and deceived her (the church).
When God brings someone to you for
you to minister to, you are building “a church” a called out one, reproducing
a “son” that God wants to use as a kingdom messenger, to continue the family
name.
What’s happening is, there is a church coming out of you
because the word “church” comes from the Greek word ecclesia which is an
assembly of called out ones. As you by the Holy Ghost minister to
their needs preaching and teaching the Word of God to whomever He brings to you
or directs you to, you are giving birth to and bringing forth "a son" or “sons of God”!
It is evident that the Adam people were
teaching the message of the kingdom. We
are doing this today to whoever will receive it!
- Matthew 28:19-20: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world”.
- Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature”.
- Luke 10:19: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
- Philippians 4:13: I (we) can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
They already had orders from the LORD God, even though the covenant was made with the
man and not the woman.
Vs 3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God had said “Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die”.
And the serpent was still whispering (lying) to the
woman as a means of deception.
Genesis 3:4:
And the serpent said unto the
woman, Ye shall not surely die:
The “serpent” was opposing
what God had already said. He hasn’t
changed. Jesus said he was a
liar from the beginning and still is.
- John 8:44: [Jesus said]: When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father (source; progenitor) of it.
Genesis 4:5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
What the “liar” didn’t tell them
was that they were already gods. Jesus said in John 10:34: Is it not written in your law, I said,
Ye are gods?
Psalm 82:1-6: God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the
gods.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons
of the wicked?
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the
afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of
the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk
on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth [God’s people – those that should
be in charge of the creation] are out of course.
6 I have said, “Ye are gods”;
and all of you are children of the most High.
The LORD God knew that in the day that they ate of the “tree
of the knowledge of good and evil” that their vision - not their
physical vision but their spiritual vision - would change from
that of immortality or life to
mortality or death; from light
to darkness; from life to
death so He didn’t want them to know “good and evil”. He wanted them to only know “life”. Or eat continually of the “tree of life in
the midst of the garden”.
Verse 5:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
“Your eyes” - God
knew that their spiritual vision of Him would be ended.
Look at the word “opened”
– [“op”/ “end”].
When it comes to your eyes, you
always go visit the Ophthalmologist
or the Optometrist.
God knew that their vision of Him would end (op = vision; ened = end) by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He didn’t want their "eye", not "eyes" (plural) opened to that because they were already looking through the eye (single) of the mind or spiritual vision.
Matthew 6:22: The
light of the body is the eye (not eyes): if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light. God knew that their vision of Him would end (op = vision; ened = end) by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He didn’t want their "eye", not "eyes" (plural) opened to that because they were already looking through the eye (single) of the mind or spiritual vision.
Jesus knew that God made us with two globes (in the medical field, the eye area is called
globes). Jesus said the light of the body is the
eye (singular). It’s what
you see with your mind that will cause you to live or to die.
- Romans 8:6: To be carnally minded is death; to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Jesus came that we would have life.
The light of the body is the eye; if the eye is single, you can see only one thing. That’s why
the LORD God wanted them (the Adam race of people) to eat of the “tree
of life” - only one thing to deal with and that was “life”.
But the “tree of the knowledge of good
and evil” painted two
pictures and put two thoughts in the mind of the woman/church. They could decide what they thought was
right for you or what was wrong for you.
People are very judgmental even now of one another. The enemy caused them to become unstable in
their decisions, and there was no solid foundation on which to stand with that mind-set.- Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
- James 1:8: A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
- 1 Corinthians 2:15: But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
The “LOST” here in this verse
is not the unsaved but those that are lost in the house
of God. The lost ones are the
Christians sitting on the church pews waiting for Jesus to come back to get
them and take them out of this mess. They
are lost because they don’t know who Christ is and who they are and they are waiting for Jesus to come and get
them or they believe that they have to die to go where He is to be with Him. They’re spiritually unaware of the truth that
He is already here with them and in them.
Vs 4: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image
of God (not just Jesus, but you and I are
also the image of God), should shine unto them.
Jesus said to the disciples in John 14:2-3: I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye
may be also.
He did just what He told them on the day of Pentecost. He
came to them. He came to give Himself as a universal gift to all that
will believe in and accept Him!
We have to worship God in spirit and in truth St. John 4:4, but many people religiously are worshipping the flesh of Jesus. Those waiting for Him to come back are flesh-worshippers. If He comes on the cloud, how will anyone know it is Him? Somebody said “He will be so glorious.” I said, “But He is here and in us right now”!
We have to worship God in spirit and in truth St. John 4:4, but many people religiously are worshipping the flesh of Jesus. Those waiting for Him to come back are flesh-worshippers. If He comes on the cloud, how will anyone know it is Him? Somebody said “He will be so glorious.” I said, “But He is here and in us right now”!
- 2 Corinthians 5:16: Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth (from here on) know we him no more.[We must know Him by the spirit]!
As we do the will of God, Jesus Christ is glorified
in us!!
If Jesus was to come here to America on a cloud how would
the folks in Australia see him? Australia is called the continent down under.
And scripture says that every eye will see Him. So if He comes on the cloud as religion
teaches, every eye won’t see Him because of locality. Listen and think about
what religion is telling us because it doesn’t “hold water”. If we worship God in spirit, we know He is
already here. When I see you, I see Him
because you are Him. If we worship Him
in spirit, wherever you are, you see Him regardless of locality!
God is “Omnipresent”.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4: But
if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of
them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is
the image of God, should shine unto them.
Who is the “god of this world”?
You can find that in Ephesians
2:2: Wherein in time past ye walked according
to the prince (ruler) of the power of the air.
“Air” is defined in the Greek as, atmosphere (mood; aura; environment).
So it is not the devil off somewhere above your head or running around
somewhere down in the center of the earth.
An atmosphere is a place in which our minds can get caught up into
whether it is good or bad. But we want it to be good, the place where God
is and peace is and not a place of chaos or confusion.
2 Corinthians 4 didn’t just say “the
glorious gospel of Jesus” here but “Christ” meaning the Anointed One and His anointing!
Remember this – “JESUS WAS NOT BORN CHRIST, HE
WAS MADE CHRIST” (The Anointed One)!
The Devil doesn’t want people to know who they are. We are Christ in the earth, the anointed
ones in the earth, His body of which He is the Head! That was the purpose
of Jesus depositing that flesh body back into the spirit realm because in that
flesh body, He was bound to location as a man.
He couldn’t be in Jerusalem in that flesh body and everywhere else at
the same time. Even now if He was still
in that body as Jesus as He had when He walked the earth He couldn’t be in North
Carolina and in New York, etc, at the same time. But when God finished with the
body of Jesus, God put that flesh right back in the Spirit out of which
He brought it. When Jesus appeared at Pentecost as Spirit, now He could be
everywhere at the same time. And now is Omnipresent (everywhere present)! The enemy doesn’t want God’s people
to come into the knowledge of the truth because he knows that is what will free
us from his clutches!! But Jesus wants
us free, by the power of the Holy Ghost and to walk in total victory in every
area of our life!!
2 Corinthians
4:4: “lest
the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine unto them”.
Keep in mind Christ,
the Anointed One; as
He is so are we in this world, 1 John 4:17, then we to are the image of God in the earth.
The devil doesn’t want people to know that they are the image of God. He wants to keep God’s people blind, and in
the dark about who they are. We are not
just mere
men walking around down here on
earth. Jesus was God in a flesh body. He was not just a mere man; He was one hundred percent plus, Man and one hundred percent plus, God! So are we!
2 Corinthians 4:10-11:
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord
Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we
which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made
manifest in our mortal flesh.
“Mortal” comes
from the root word that means that which is liable to die. Liable or subject to but
it doesn’t have to die!
- Romans 8:22: For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit.The first-fruits of the Spirit are those speaking with God's tongue or "the language of God", the unadulterated truth! The word “tongue” comes from the Greek word glossa’, which is the language of God. God’s language is fire! According to Hebrews 12:29: For our God is a consuming fire.As His word/language goes forth out of our mouths, that word is fire and it will consume everything that is not like God, especially if people reject it. It will either purify or consume us. If we receive it, it will purify us, but if we fight it, that same word will consume us.
Paul is talking about Christ
being manifested in our mortal bodies,
that which is liable to or subject to die, but it doesn’t have to. That’s why His (Jesus’) body didn’t corrupt
to show us that ours doesn’t have to corrupt.
Our bodies do not have to see corruption:
- 1 Corinthians 15:51-52: Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.[The dead here are not those in the grave yard, but those sitting on many church pews waiting for Jesus to come back and get them, when He is already here]!
- Vs 53-54: For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, THEN shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory.[This doesn’t happen out in the sky in the great beyond, but it can happen right here and right now when we believe for it]!
Now after the resurrection in reality we really shouldn’t be
dying at all. When Jesus got up, He had conquered sin, death, hell, and the grave, and has the keys Revelation 1:18, and has given
the keys to us and we must use them by the power of the Holy Ghost!!!
We are Jesus’ flesh
body in the earth:
- Acts 7:48: Howbeit the most High dwells not in temples made with hands.
- 1 Corinthians 3:16: Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: What? Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
- Ephesians 5:30: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
- Revelation 21:3: And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God”.
It is important that the ribs
of the church come together because the ribs of a ship works together
to keep the waters of the deep out of the ship.
We as the ribs of God’s church - the twelve sons of Jacob + the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ = 24 elders
for the Old and New Testament, coming together in one mind by the Spirit of God
in the Word of God, we can keep “the waters of the deep in relation to
religious order” out of our midst of the church as well. That’s what we are, (God’s ribs)
(Christ’s body) as we come to “maturity” in Christ!!!
- Ephesians 4:11-13: 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!
The female have a cervix in the pelvic area and both male
and the female have a cervix in the neck. But within the female this is part of the
make-up of the pelvic area where the seed is planted, and sons and daughters
come forth.
We have bones in the lumbar, thoracic, coccyx, pelvic and sacral areas. There are five
bones in the sacrum
and four in the coccyx (tail bone), but they join or fuse together in maturity
and become one. Five plus four equals nine. Nine is the
number of the Spirit. The number of ministry is five, Ephesians
4:11, (apostle; prophet; evangelist; pastor and teacher). This is what it takes for vs 12: the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ", which is the "holy city", which we are that's mentioned in Revelation 21, that is four-squared, which is heart, soul, mind, and body, the areas that Jesus said we must love Him with in Matthew 12:30, to be manifested in the earth. We are the city! As the "sacrum and coccyx" become one in our physical body, the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Ghost makes us "one" as we mature in Him!
- Ephesians 4:13: 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 fulness of Christ.
- Isaiah 1:26: And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, “The city of righteousness, the faithful city”.
- Isaiah 60:14: The sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, “The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel”.
- Isaiah 62:12: And they shall call thee, “The holy people, the redeemed of the LORD”: and thou shalt be called, “Sought out, A city not forsaken”!
- Matthew 5:14: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
- Hebrews 12:22: But you are come (present tense) unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,vs 23: To the general assembly, and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect.
Romans 8:19: For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
23: And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
23: And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Adoption means “placing as sons”.
The church is in actuality waiting for us, the sons of God, (not
Jesus), to get back into the position that God had the sons of God in in
the beginning so that we can rule and reign over the creation and in the
creation now!
- Revelation 5:10: And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on (over) the earth. [That means “right here and right now]!
It didn’t say the
redemption of our souls but of our body. Jesus did not just die for our souls
to be saved only. He died for the total man (heart; soul; mind; body), those
areas Jesus said we must love God with in Matthew 12:30. Because God wants to be seen and the only way
He can be seen is in man, He is manifested in the male and female.
God is Spirit, energy, electricity, fire, and He is so fast
that He had to slow Himself down so that He could become visible in man. That’s the purpose of man so that God could be manifested in the earth.
Psalm 82:1-6: God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the
gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the
persons of the wicked? Defend the poor and fatherless (not just
talking about the poor or lacking but those who are dangling over the mouth of the bottomless pit; the abyss; He
wants us to deliver them): do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out
of the hand of the wicked. They know
not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the
foundations of the earth are out of course (the foundations
are people).
I have said, Ye are gods; and all
of you are children of the most High.
Job 38 – [search out “foundations”]: Vs
3: Where wast thou when I laid
the foundations (yacad) of
the earth?
God was asking Job, “Where were you Job when I ordained, counselled, established and
instructed the morning stars and sons of God to sit
down together and be settled,
in the place of dominion, authority, and power ruling and reigning over the
creation that I had appointed for them?
Then in Vs 6:
Where upon are the foundations (edens) thereof fastened?
This word “foundations” is defined in the sense of strength; a basis of a building;
sockets: and goes to another root word
(adown-awdone’) meaning to rule; sovereign, in relation to human or divine).
When you speak of “sovereign” it connotes a ruler with supreme power; a monarch. A “monarch” is a person who reigns over a kingdom or
empire!
Even then God had
people that were ruling over kingdoms and empires, even ruling the
creation! That’s why Psalm 82:5 states, “All the foundations of the earth are out of course. Those "foundations" were the "morning stars and sons of God".
Jesus is trying to get us back on course – in the place of dominion, power,
authority to rule and reign over the creation and on the earth!!!
Revelation 1:6:
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to
him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 5:10:
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on (over) the earth.
Eden is a pleasant, voluptuous place;
not a flower bed with some flowers and trees.
The garden is man’s body, and Eden is the power in that body. Man was God’s Garden of Eden. Jesus was the power of God walking around on
two feet. The “power” Jesus had He has
given to us!
- Luke 10:19: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
He hasn’t changed. He
had the LORD God (male and female) in
charge of the creation in Genesis 2. Then the LORD
God created and formed the “man” [Awdawm’] (Adam – male and
female) and put them in position.
Then He caused a deep sleep to come over him (them) and
out from his (their) side, the LORD God took a rib and made Woman
(the church) and she was bone
of his bones and flesh of his flesh.
The same thing happened with Jesus and His church (us)! The sleep of death came upon Him on the Cross
and the, “New Jerusalem that is from above”, the “holy city” (Us) the “Woman”, the true church”, issued
forth out His side. Ephesians 5:30:
For we are members of his body, of his
flesh, and of his bones.
Isn’t that what Jesus said of us as
members of his body? These people (the
Adam race of people) were in a place of ruling and reigning until the
woman listened to the liar, the
serpent. The LORD God told the “man”
(awdawm’) that in the day he ate of this tree, he would surely die. But the serpent told the woman (the church) that “they won’t die”.
1Timothy 2:13-14:
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived
was in the transgression.
The woman was not Adam’s
companion that he "had sex with", but it was a church that came out of Adam, which we know was a body of people that
was composed of both “male and female”.
Eve was the name of the
church that came out of Adam.
When you look up Eve,
it comes from the Hebrew word chavvah’
which means life giver, to live, to declare or show, revive, keep or make
alive; let suffer to live, nourish, preserve alive, quicken, recover, repair,
restore to life.
If you have to “recover, repair, restore”
something, that means it was something that had life before and now has to be
restored to life again. It was Adam that had been formed and Eve was giving
life to the people. But when the
serpent began lying to the woman
(the church), and she ate (not chewing on an apple), of the "fruit", meaning the appropriating or applying to their lives the "lie" the serpent said
to her, and it brought on death.
Now you can understand
what God meant when He said in Joshua
1:8 This book of the law
shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate
(ponder over, consider) therein day and night.
This is what the woman
did when the serpent lied to her. The woman pondered over and considered what the “serpent”
(whisperer) said and followed through with it.
When you start ingesting, pondering,
considering and thinking
over what someone said, then you are eating and drinking
of it!
Now you can understand Genesis
1:5-31: And God called the light Day, and the darkness he
called Night. And the evening
and the morning were the first day. Eve-ning and morning - “Evening” means dusk or earliest part of the evening just before darkness. Evening follows the setting of the sun and precedes darkness.
When the LORD God called to Adam, he was walking in the
garden in the cool of the day.
The “cool” of the day is when “the
sun is going down”. He (Adam)
was in “Eve” (the eve-ning) or it was the going
out of the light which the LORD God had given to the man. When man
partook of what the woman offered to
him, his
(their) light began to go out. That
was the going down of the sun or sons of God.
They began to move away from the light (life) and into the darkness
(death)!
Even though the woman
partook of the fruit (lie of the
enemy), the creation was still intact because the "man" (male and female), had not yet eaten of the fruit. But when they listened to the woman
(false church system), and partook of the fruit (lie) that
was given unto her, it was then that the creation fell
because they were the ones that the LORD God had given the command to (Genesis 2:16-17). When they ate of the tree of the “knowledge of good and evil”, they
began to lose their divinity and fell back into their humanity!
[The man Adam (the LORD God) never fell! But the man (Adam) that He formed fell!]
When man loses sight of his divinity [eating of
the tree of life (divine health, immortality, incorruption)] and
takes hold of his humanity [eating
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (mortality; corruption;
death)], it’s then that the “god-man” is driven out of the
garden and the man-god dies.
[The “god-man” (lives inside the man) and the man-god (is the
outward manifestation)]
Keep in mind that the “body of man” is the outward expression of “the
garden of God”.
Take a close look at what God
said to the king of Tyrus: (Ezekiel 28:12-4): Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the
king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the
sum full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Thou hast been in
Eden “the garden” of God; every precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the
jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and iof thy
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou was created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and
I have set the so: thou was upon the
holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones
of fire. Thou was perfect in thy ways
from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
That’s what happened to the
morning stars and sons of God in the beginning. The god-man
was driven out of the man-god. As long as they (the Adam race of people) were eating from the tree of
life, the man-god could live because the god-man was being fed
immortality. But when they began to
listen to the serpent, the god-man said He couldn’t dwell there
because the man god is not able to contain me because they have fallen into
mortality
and God is immortal. That’s why we
have to
dress and keep the garden and keep the god-man fed so that the man-God
can live!
John
1:1: In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God: Vs
14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. The “Man Jesus” was God in the flesh!!
The Christ was the God-Man
(The
I AM) on the inside of Jesus!
Man is God in flesh form! We are bone of his bones and flesh of his
flesh Ephesians 5:30!!! 1
John 4:17: As he is, so are we in
this world!!!
