The Saving Blood of King Jesus

The saving blood of King Jesus is one of the most powerful revelations that a man will ever receive. This wisdom will help you in every area of your life. The first King of the earth was Adam. Through Adam’s disobediences all men became sinners. All men were doomed to hell because of divine judgment on sin built into God justice. Sin nor sinners cannot stand in the congregation of God.

When God made the creation of man he stared with one man. In Adam was one blood that God used to give birth to every man. When he made the apple tree he started with one apple tree. When it came to the tree of knowledge he made one tree. When he wanted a tree of life he made one tree. When he created the human race he started with one man. This knowledge is very important to understand; how God has created the God race of man.

God’s purpose in creating man was to start a God race where all men would be both God and man. The man he chose to start this race was himself manifested as King Jesus. Giving birth to himself through his own precious blood in Mary, the mother of Jesus. It was in this woman that he would get a body from man or mankind. He referred to this body as the seed of the woman. Since the woman came from Adam, this gave him a right to be a man. What was different about this man was that his blood was from God verses being from a man. This gave Jesus the right to be God and man. Every other man besides Jesus received his blood from another man. Even Adam’s blood was from the dust of the earth. Then God blew the spirit of man in to Adam.

I Timothy 3:16

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

This is a great mystery concerning the blood of Jesus. His blood did not come from another man. His blood, therefore, came directly from God himself. Having received his blood from the King of kings, made him God manifested in flesh. This made him both son of man and Son of God. This blood in him was pure, precious, holy and of God. He was not born of the will of flesh nor was he born with the blood of man, but of God. Therefore his blood was the word of God. This Word supernaturally became the blood of Jesus. The Life in the blood was God the Son.

John 1:12 - 14

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

After manifesting himself as this new species, both God and man, he then gave power to every man that received him to become Sons of God. Every born again man is the same as King Jesus, Both Son of God and son of man. With this new birth it is a God requirement that every person in this class be a King. This is one of the mysteries of the blood of King Jesus. God manifested as the first King of the class. Giving birth through his own blood to every member of his body.

Isaiah 9: 5 - 7

5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah the prophet give us a picture of the head of this God class of beings. First he indicates that every battle of victory is rolled in blood. This blood is from the blood of man. Then he painted a picture of the root of the blood of King Jesus. This blood is from a burning fuel of fire. Our God is a consuming fire. He is fire from his loins up and fire from his loins down. He was seen it the cloud as a fire by night. He was a smoking furnace in the covenant with Abraham. He appeared on the day of Pentecost as cloven tongues like as fire. This fire was the blood deposited into Mary that manifested God in flesh.

Isaiah describes King Jesus as being God in every way. He called him Wonderful and Counsellor. He also calls him the mighty God and Everlasting Father. Then indicates that he is the King of Peace. With all these titles, including the Everlasting Father, prove that Jesus was not just a Prophet but God manifested in flesh. Then he shows us the purpose of him coming, to establish and rule God Kingdom in heaven and Earth.

God Uses One Seed to Start Various Creations

Genesis 1:11-12

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:21-25

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

It is very clear that the plant kingdom had seeds within itself and reproduced by producing seeds after its kind. The animal kingdom also produced seed after its kind. However, it is not clear whether there was just one animal and from it came all others after its kind or not. With the plants it said the seed was within itself. This was also the case with Adam he had his seed within himself. Every man came from Adam including Eve. Adam was the first fruit of the human species.

God wants us to see that whatever the first fruit is the other seeds from the pattern will be the same species. Adam was a son of God. Adam was made in the image of God. He had the same likeness as God. He was a king like God is King of Kings. He was a lord over the earth like God is Lord over all. He was a God to everything that moved on the face of the Earth. Even God himself reverenced the authority that he gave to Adam.

The Devil, fully aware of the first fruit multiplication process, moved in to kill, steal, and destroy. Satan knew that if the first fruit was unholy then and future men that came from him would also be unholy. So he planted himself into Adam. When Adam ate from the forbidden tree. God already knew what Satan was planning. This was the reason he warned Adam not to eat from the tree. Man had free will to make a choice for God’s perfect will to be carried out. With this sin, the first fruit was unholy. Therefore every man that would come from Adam would be unholy.

Satan did not know that God had saved the original pattern that man was created from. This man was none other than King Jesus, God Almighty himself. This was a hidden secret that was in God only. But he did give a flash of this when he said to the serpent, “The seed of the woman would bruise your head.”

King Jesus would come through a woman but he would have the blood of God. This would give him the identity of son of man and son of God. King Jesus was a totally different type of man. Just as all oak trees are not the same, so would it be that all men are not the same. This King Jesus is the first fruit that God would use for every born again man. This is why Jesus said, "You must be born again." That which come from man is man, but that which comes from the spirit is spirit. I could say that which come from God is God. That which come from King Jesus is King Jesus.

But because many in the body are on milk, I will explain further what I am saying. King Jesus is the selected species of God /man that God was planning for when he created the first Adam. Whatever the first fruit is, all the seed that come from the tree is the same. King Jesus is the tree of life. Every tree that comes from him is the same tree of life. Can you get the picture without flesh reasoning? When you should be eating meat you are still drinking milk. There are many things I could say because you are not ready for strong meat.

King Jesus is the last Adam according to the word. Some say he is the second Adam. However he is the first and the last. The first pattern and the last pattern. The Alpha and Omega. The King of kings and The Lord of lords. God used the pattern of King Jesus and made the species of man. The first man was like God but was not God. Therefore he could not produce man with a spirit that was God species.

As you continue to read this book we will go from the beginning of time until today. Everywhere you read about the blood sacrifices and offering it is the blood of King Jesus. The plan of God, all the time, was to have a species after the order of King Jesus. This could not happen without the first fruit being King Jesus. It could not happen unless Jesus was a King. The least of this species would be greater than Adam or any Old Testament prophet. This species would have the blood of King Jesus in their spirit, soul, and heavenly body.

Revelation 1:5-6

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus is the Christ, faithful witness, first begotten from the dead and King of the Kings of the earth. Also, he has made us kings and priests. He washed us holy with his own blood. This same blood is our communion with him. Referring to this is what we share in common. The blood of our king is in every member of his body. This blood is what washed all our sins away. When Jesus became sin for us, this blood of the Almighty gave him power to be born again. Every time a person is born again it is with the blood of our King, Jesus. We could not be a king unless we come from the blood line of a king. King Jesus’s blood qualified his bodily members to be kings.

1 Corinthians 10:16-17

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

If I don't get you to see our oneness with him through his blood, then this book will have been planted in shallow soil. We are connected, shared, active priest, kings, sons of God, gods, of his body, bone, and flesh through the blood. Don't be afraid to be a king or a god because it is in your blood. Just as the acorn from a live oak tree is a live oak tree, so is it with our spirit being a spirit of God. We are not Almighty God. We are not the alpha and omega God. We are not the Most High God. We are not King Jesus. But will did fall off of the same tree. So we are the seed of the tree. All the seeds of a tree are the same. So is every seed the came from King Jesus. He is the tree; we are the branches. He is the vine; we are the branches. We all come from the same tree. King Jesus is our producer. We are his body, bones, and flesh.

Ephesians 5:28-31

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Ephesians 4:4-6

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

There is only one body and one tree. There is one Lord, one faith, on baptism and one God of all. He is the first tree and he has his spirit in us all and through us all. We have left our old nature and spirit and have been reborn with his nature and spirit. For this reason shall our man side leave from that nature and be joined to our holy nature. Our God is not against his own body but loves it and cherishes his body parts. All the parts of God’s body is holy forever. Sin has no part in the body of God in Christ.

Galatians 2:20

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Why are saints still trying to get forgiven and saved again? We are all ready saved forever. God has made us his spiritual body. We are holy forever and ever. The life we have now is not our life. It is the life of Christ. His life is everlasting without interruption or end. Sin, evil, death, and hell can not stop our life for one second. You might say, “But I sinned.” Yes you sinned and you died for it also. You were crucified with him for past, present, and future sins. Some will say I was not born, but that doesn’t matter, whatever King Jesus says is true. You were crucified with him, and now living one with him as his life.

King Jesus is the First Fruit

Romans 11:16

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Romans 8:23

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

1 Corinthians 15:20-23

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

James 1:18

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

If you can't remember anything in this book concerning your salvation, remember you are holy forever because of who the first fruit is and not that of your own righteousness. You are Holy because the blood of King Jesus is your life. Because of our oneness with Christ, whatever he is we are that also. Whatever he owns, we are joint heirs also. Whoever he is, we are shares by bodily members also.

Galatians 3:16

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Galatians 3:26-29

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into

Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Another key to understanding who we are as saints is understanding the one seed principal. This is the same as the one tree principle I mentioned. God’s covenant is with the original seed or the king seed only. King Jesus is the seed. All that come from him is of the same seed. Therefore qualifying the seed off the tree to be one with him. God sees the body of Christ and Christ as being one seed. This is the key to all of our inheritance. Listed below is the difference of who we were vs. who we are now. Also listed is the difference of our authority and ownership:

REVIEW NOTES Chapter 1

IN THE BEGINNING

In the beginning there was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.

Billions of years ago, before God made anything, God had everything in him. The Father of the Church had a vision in him concerning a God family, now known as the Church. We were in his thoughts and imagination. He wanted a family that would be just like him in every way. Just as we want our kids to be like us in every way. But, for this to happen it would cost him almost everything.

John 1:2-5

The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Jesus had life in him, and the life was the light of men. This light of men was the born again spirit that is in the believer. It was as if we were in all ways with him in life form. The same way a man has a child in his body before they are born. The word life means the God life. This life he would give to all of his future children. This life would be their shining and glorying Spirit. They would have a God Spirit that would come directly out of Him. This life would be a holy life or Holy Spirit just like his Holy Spirit.

These sons and daughters would be the center of God life forever. We were the main focus of Almighty God. He had a clear divine vision concerning all of his children. He knew what their names would be. He knew their heights in the natural world. The very hairs on their heads were numbered. He designed within himself the color of their temporary Earth suits. Some suits would be dark brown, light brown, and some even lighter brown. He had knowledge to the second of how long they would be on a planet called Earth. A planet he would design to be their main dwelling place.

His children would one day get this life that was in Christ. The life that was in him was an eternal and everlasting life. This life was the life of God Almighty. While other creations would have life, none would be like God’s family. Keep in mind, the life of God has no beginning and no end. The life is full of all God’s character, anointing, fruits , authority, and his Spirit.

Psalm 82

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: 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. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

Father had already decided when, what, and how he would bring his children into existence. Though, while we were living in his thoughts, we would not be created for billions and billions of years later. His divine plan for his children would include making them heirs of all things. They would have dominion of all the works of his hand. They would all be Gods, like their Father. They would all fall as men because of sin, but his word would change them into the God class as he is. He would be their source for everything. God would be their God and they would be his offspring. Jesus would be their head and He would still be forever a member of the Godhead at the same time. This way Jesus would continue to rule all realms of creation. He will never give God’s children’s power, authority, and ownership over to Satan or any other evil being.

John 10:34-38

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Their Father God would be Almighty God all by himself. They would be made a little lower than him. Because the word came and they received it, that word of God changed them into Gods themselves. Jesus gave this powerful information in the above scripture. These sons of God would be changed from men into Gods in their spirit. Which qualify them to be sons and daughters of God. We just have to receive this grace and favor that Father has ordained for us by Faith. We don't have to water it down with flesh. All we should say is, “God, you all by yourself has changed me into a God. Thank you, Lord Jesus I will always worship and praise your name. All power, dominion, and honor belong unto you because you are worthy.”

Hebrews 2:5-8

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

These sons and daughter of God would be empowered and put in charge of all God’s creation in Heaven and on Earth. The writer says, “No angel has Father put in the world to come in subjection.” The angel asked the question, “What is man that you are mindful of him? Or the son of man that you visitest him?” This word visitest, refers to God keeping man on his mind and selecting him as the highest honor of creation. They testify by saying you have made him a little lower than God, and has crowned him with glory and honor. The word angel is used, however it is a quote from Psalms 8, which is elohiym or God.

Psalm 8

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. 1 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

He could not be talking about the angels because in the first chapter of Hebrews chapter one it says the following:

Hebrews 1:4-9

Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Hebrews 1:13-14

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

I just love writing because it is so easy to allow the word of God to talk all by itself. God planned, ordained, and documented all of this before it happened in the natural world. In the Spirit, God completed this work in advance. Just like movie writers work through all the parts of a movie before it is filed and shown in the theater, so did God complete the living and holy movie concerning his sons and daughters.

God, before the foundation of the world, put everything and all creation under our feet. The angels he created to minister, serve, protect and support whatever assignment the Holy Ghost gives to us. The writer said, “Even though we can't see all things under our feet, but all creation sees the man Jesus as God. And they see all thing under his feet.” So we are the body, including the feet, in authority.

While they would first live on earth, he also had an ever increasing universe that he would create for them to rule and dominate. Everything he would create would be made by him for them. Before he would start with his family there were heavens, planets, angels, heavenly species, earth species, and other things that would be created first.

Psalms 89:11-12

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

Psalms 104:1-7

Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

Before God would create the seen world he would first create the unseen world. While the unseen world cannot be seen by men, unless God opens his natural eyes. This realm is the pattern that our seen universe was made from. heaven, like Earth, is also round. heaven has trees, plants, gates, soil, and all the things on this planet called Earth. Things in Heaven are made out of spirit rather than dirt. They are unseen by earthly species but seen by heavenly species.

heaven also has spaceships, cars, horses, instruments, highways, and additional things that have not been seen on Earth to this day. However, things in Heaven are made of spirit, that includes wind, fire, and heavenly life. Things in the spirit and on a different plain are so much advanced than things on Earth. For, example on Earth we drive the vehicles with our hands. In Heaven, they are driven by the direct communication of the spirit. Here, in the natural world, we talk to our horses and guide them with words. In Heaven, they know the thoughts of the spirit riding them. The angel’s spirit is made out of fire. This fire is spiritual fire designed to last forever.

2 Kings 2:9-12

And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

Here we see that God sent a chariot with horses for Elijah. There was no mention of a driver or angels on the chariot. The horses and chariot are alive and alert. Things in Heaven are full of wisdom and understanding because God’s Spirit is in them. Also, this proves that there are spaceships and all kinds of living transportation in the heavenly realm. The whirlwind and fire mentioned is very similar to a spaceship, jets, and other flying transportation on earth now. Let your mind receive this insight. Selah.

Exodus 3:1-7

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

God sends an angel to speak to Moses in a flame of fire. The bush also was a burning bush. This gives us a heavenly view of what things are made out of in Heaven. The angel’s spirit in a flame of fire and the bush is burning and breath is coming out of the bush. Spirit life is made out of spirit wind and fire that is full of wisdom. Trees are made out of fire and wind and are alive. However, this fire and wind is of a heavenly type. The spirit realm is the original and our world is a duplication. Everything in the seen world is made from the pattern of the unseen world. There are unseen planets, stars, moons, suns, and all that is in the seen realm. The unseen is so much greater than the seen realm. See this in your mind and heart. Yes, living spiritual trees, animals, gates, and other living things. Things in Heaven are not dead but alive. Yes, living gates are possible. Because they are made out of spirit rather than earthly materials. The idea should be considered, whether gold, pearls or any other earthly substances. Earth pearls are dead, while heaven pearls are alive. Made out of spirit or living substances. Take another look at the burning bush, breathing or living bush in the scripture above. Everything made out of spirit has divine breath inside. Therefore those things are alive. God is the God of the living.

Hebrews 8: 1 - 6

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

The writer of Hebrews discuss the throne room in heaven, that includes the heavenly sanctuary and tabernacle the Lord built. This sanctuary and true tabernacle were built by The Lord out of heavenly material that included living wind and fire. Then he brings up that Moses’s tabernacle is a shadow of the spirit one in heaven. This is true of the earth and all things in the natural realm, all are a shadow of the heavenly original. Keep in mind, the difference is that one is earth (dirt) and the other is heavenly (spirit). The Word says there is nothing new under the sun. Just as the earth has north, south, east, and west, so is it in heaven. This planet is a shadow of the invisible planet called heaven.

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh:but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. 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 any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

The writer is speaking by the spirit and revealing that there is nothing new under the sun. He says, “That which is has already been.” No matter what spaceship, car, computer or any invention that is good, it has already been created in heaven. This Spirit is so much higher than the natural realm. No matter how we labor and invent things here, all inventions already exist in the spirit realm. God will always be the author and the finisher of inventions. He is the one that gives men creative minds to pattern the earthly realm according to the already existing heavenly realm. We can never say that anything is a new invention. It has been already. It already exists in the spirit world.

Psalms 78:22-29

Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. Man did eat angels 'food: he sent them meat to the full .He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

The children of Israel cried unto God in heaven and he sent angel food from heaven. Everything in this earth realm received its origin from a like spirit species in heaven. This is the reason there is nothing new under the sun. Even the water out of the rock came from the spirit realm. All things in this realm are from the spiritual pattern in heaven. All seen things on the earth are temporary, but the things in heaven are eternal. There is food in heaven, but it is living bread. The fruits are living fruits for the healing of the nations.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

We have to believe this word by faith. What Father is saying is that the heavenly realm has everything the natural realm will ever have. Every earth product is a pattern of what already exists in heaven. Whether jet, car, house, trees, buildings, highways, stones, gold, diamond, animals, and other earthly products, heaven has those things already. Then Paul is saying that the spiritual things are everlasting. They are the everlasting source, spirit material, pattern and manufacturer of earthly things. All things that enter into this seen world come from the spiritual source above. Even the functions of the natural things have functions like the heavenly.

Meditate on the scriptures listed below:

John 14: 1 - 4

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 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.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

John 6:26-27

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

John 6:47-52

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

John 7:37-39

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Revelation 22:1-2

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Jesus indicates, “In my Father’s house are many mansions.” There could not be a house or mansion on earth if the source of them were not in heaven already. The only difference between the houses is that one is made out of eternal spiritual material and the other is made out of temporary dirt material. However, both of them are for men, a dwelling place.

Just as it is with the spiritual mansions so is it with the living water, living bread, and tree of Life. The water in the earth realm is for the life of the dirt suit that we dwell in. It is natural water and it is temporary. While the spiritual water is the makeup of the spiritual person. A man’s body is over sixty percent water. However our spirit is one hundred percent God spirit or living water. Then John, in Revelations, talks about a pure river of water clear as crystal. Through the word you can see that whatever is on earth comes from what already exists in heaven. Therefore there is nothing new under the sun. All things created down here have already been from old times. Our God seeks men to create on earth what he has already created in heaven.

The Spirit Realm Before the Foundation of the World

If you could have seen God before he made anything, you would have been looking at all that is to come. In the spirit of the Lord was everything. Our God is not just the spirit realm, he is alpha and omega of all realms. Everything that exists or will exist came from my Father the Almighty Creator of everything good. My Father has no beginning nor end. He created the beginning of what we call time. Without him there would be no time. He is the past, present, and the future.

Isaiah 45:5-12

I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. 8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have reated it. 9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

God thought the prophet Isaiah document that he is God and there is no other source of all things besides him. He said that from the light he made darkness. In our mind we want to think that things were dark first and God gave them light. But it is possible that it is just the opposite. He shaped the light and created darkness. Remember, God is light, and everything came from the light, including darkness. He is saying that without him, darkness cannot exist. God takes credit for all creation.

Then he asks, how can the things created say to their creator, “Why have you made me like this?” Why did he make me black, white or brown? What he is bringing out to men, angels and all creation, don't question with the wrong motive why he has done a certain thing. He is saying to not be so arrogant that you think more of yourself than you ought to think. Men talk about other men because of their color, nationality, and because of where they come from. But God is saying to man, “This is my plan and purpose. I designed this movie and it is going to play out just like I wrote it.”

While God is not the author of evil, he allows evil and uses it to carry out his purpose. Creatures that came from him might turn evil but in God, there is no evil at all. He is and always will be a God of love. This phrase, create evil is referring to God cutting evil down rather than giving evil life. He said, “I make peace and remove evil.” The word is translated in our English as create, but the context of the word has a different meaning.

bara' ( in Hebrew) create

A primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes): choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).

As you can see in the definition of bara, it has different meanings all of which depend on the context in which the word is used. God wants you to know he is a peace maker and one who cuts down evil. Father continues by saying, “Ask me concerning the future of my sons and things to come.” He wants men to know the future to come concerning first his son, after that, the works of his hand. Thus, he is separating his sons from all other works of his hands. He is putting his sons in a level higher than all his creation. He is the one who stretched out the heavens and all of the host of angels, and the other living hosts in heaven.

The prophet Isaiah indicates that God knows the future before man sees it. It is like a movie that he directed with all goodness for his sons and daughters. Even though evil will show up in the movie, he has already defeated the evil in the past. He says to us words like, “Weeping may endure for the night but joy is coming in the morning.” This is because, in the past, he has already defeated our enemies and given us the victory by faith. There is a movie on your life designed by God. He has made you the main star in your movie. He has set it up where his born again sons and daughter cannot lose. Let’s take a look at what has already happened before the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:1-9

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Jesus, in this book we call Revelation, shows John the future like he was watching a movie of what was to come. This does not surprise me since I know my Father is all knowing. How anointed is our Lord Jesus Christ that that he shows us the events before they happen? This is like a sneak preview before the movie comes to the theater. What is most interesting in text is found in verse 8, the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. Also there is a book with the names of the family of God, written it. How could the lamb be slain before the foundation of the world? Don't ask me, ask God. I just believe everything he records by faith. Maybe this is how the lamb was slain by faith.

Before the foundation of the world, the lamb was slain, according to the Bible. We might ask, “Did it really happen?” God said it happened before the foundation of the world. Some theologians say it was just in the mind, heart or spirit of God. Well that could be right or it could be wrong. Because that would only be an educated guess. I personally chose, by faith, to believe the exact words that it was slain. This is the same way I believe the worlds were framed by the Word of God. I don't have to guess, I just judge that God always tells the truth. I don't know how all the parts of my body function, I don't have to guess, I just thank God by faith. God told John that if any one adds or takes away from this book, they would answer to him. So some way the lamb was slain before the world.

Ephesians 1:3-12

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

God blessed us before the foundation of the world in heavenly places in Christ. Father also chose us in Christ before the world. He selected his body in Christ to be holy and without blame. These are divine words from Almighty God and I just believe him and thank him for selecting me. Lord, I just thank you for saving me and making me holy without blame. Thank you Jesus for this grace you gave to me before the world began. Does this mean God is not fair because he chose me and not everybody. I personally don't know who he chose not. I do know I am thankful Father chose me then, and gave birth to me perhaps billions of years later. Every man has the same choice that I made to accept Jesus. Because he chose us before we were born is his business. I don't have to explain to the world the plan and purpose of my Father. He is God and everything he does is good and right. Bottom line, If a person accept Christ he is saved.

Then after selecting the body in Christ as his personal body, he predestined us to be his children by Jesus Christ according to his good pleasure. Before we were born the lamb was slain. He forgave all our sins by grace through faith. Then at some point he made known unto us the mystery of his will. The proof that he saved us and predestined us, is because we accepted Jesus in this dispensation. God’s purpose and his way of doing things is beyond human imagination. Men desire God to say things that he can understand as a human. However, God is a spirit and men have to be converted to understand spiritual things. We desire to understand it in our human mind. God’s word is spirit, and has to be desired through spiritual understanding.

We have accepted God’s word and asked him to reveal to us his purpose. Maybe this was the only way we could be saved. Maybe in the spirit realm, things have to happens there before they can happen here. Regardless, we can't judge the Most High God concerning the order or way he has done things in the past. That, my brother, is God’s business. He is God, he doesn’t answer to the world or man. He is God all by himself. Father is the creator and above all things that are created.

Romans 9:9-24

For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. 10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Paul writes to the church in Rome that God makes his promise based on his election. This election was before the foundation of the world. He explains that God elected Jacob before the twins were born and before either had done good or evil. Then the Holy Ghost inspired Paul to write these words, “Jacob I love and Esau I hate.” This word hate means to detest or love less. The Almighty already knew the heart and acts of Esau before he was born. So he had a right to hate what he would do, and select Jacob over him by election.

Then Paul asked the question, “Is God unrighteousness?” God forbid. Then he reveals that God raised Pharaoh up to show his power in him. Two things happen with Pharaoh, one, God gave him power to rule the world. This was because God wanted men to see how one man can rule the world through the power God gives him. Pharaoh was blessed by God to have power, authority, and a good life. Second, God chose to bring down the most powerful man on the planet in the presence of his people. This way his people and the whole world would know that Israel’s God is the God with all power.

God told Moses, “I will have mercy on who I want to mercy. I will have compassion on who I want to have compassion.” Wealth and riches come from the grace of God. Some men, pastors, and others think wealth comes from their wisdom and how hard they work or how fast they run. God’s grace is the key ingredient to power and wealth. Common sense tells us that what we do has something to do with it. The point is, God’s grace is the key to success. Pharaoh was selected by God to have this power for his plan and purpose. This should stop men from thinking that because of their wealth and position they are smarter or more anointed. Even as a pastor I am reminded that I am no more or less than the members of the Church. I, by the grace of God, was given the word to serve to his people. Pride has pastors, prophets, apostles, and bishops tied up on titles. The highest title a man can have is a son of God. The son rank is above all the titles. The apostle, pastor, and prophet are serving the sons and daughters of God. So we have to get off our high horse and be humble to our position in Christ.

Men’s heads are big because of wealth and position, even in the church. We have to remember all is because of our election by God. God makes one man black and another white. He makes one start out rich and another start out poor. He makes one man fast and another man slow. All that he does is tied into his purpose. Why should one get the big head about their part in the movie. It is God’s movie and the glory belongs to him. God selected the role of Moses, Aaron and Pharaoh. The key is to carry out your part. “To whom much is given, much is required.” Pharaoh did not understand that.

It is this pride in men that send men to hell. This is why it is so hard for a rich man to get into the kingdom. God wants his children, pastors, and all in the body to be wealthy. Because the wealth belongs to his body. However, so many are corrupted and deceived by their riches, like the Egyptians, they were deceived by their color, wealth, and position. Some preachers won’t even listen to a Moses in their presence unless he has the wealth to show presently. Others say you can’t preach on certain subjects because you have not been there. They say you are not qualified to preach on wealth if you don’t have it. You can preach to the drug dealer if you were not a dealer. How dumb is that type of thinking? Words are seeds containing our future. We have what we preach. We get what we say. So why would not a son be qualified to preach prosperity, healing, deliverance or any subject the Holy Ghost leads? Moses did have the wealth, power and position but he had the rod of God. The Word is what qualifies a person and not wealth or position.

Yes Pharaoh was blinded by his wealth, power and authority. There are so many preachers today acting out the same part. I am blessed by God with al three, wealth, power, and position. However, I know it is God’s grace and nothing on my own. I am gifted with wisdom from God concerning his word. I see things and hear things other preachers have never heard. I am loaded with uncommon wisdom when it comes to the word. Other men might read and study more, but God has blessed me with a special gift concerning revelation of his word. This does not make me smarter or better. I am just the distribution center for his product. It is the same with wealth, power, and position.

What happened in Egypt should not have happened. Israel and Egypt were like brothers in the same country. God sent Joseph there to connect the two nations together. Later, because of numbers, power, and position they became big headed and thought it was because of their own power and position. This was why God brought Egypt down in the Red Sea. Joseph was not a wealthy man when he first came in the presence of Pharaoh. But he had the word of God to teach Pharaoh. The word is always the key and not wealth. What if Pharaoh would have said, “You can’t tell me anything about wealth.” One man God will make a king and another a prophet. The king has the wealth and the prophet has the word. All come from the Lord.

My advice to the rich, majority, pastors and all with prosperity, don’t think more highly of yourself than you ought to think. You are not all of that. It is the Lord that gives you the power to get wealth and position. It is not your own wisdom, work, or anything else. It is the Lord doing for his purpose.

Salvation Before the World Began

Romans 8:28-37

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called:and whom he called, them he also justified:and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

There is no way to deny the word concerning the election before the foundation of the world. While everyone on earth still has to accept Jesus to be saved. Let me be clear, there is no way into heaven accept for a man to receive Jesus as his Lord and savior. That don't take anything away from what God has done before the foundation of the world. To be saved, a man must believe that Jesus died on the earth and believe that God raised him from the dead. Repent and ask Jesus to come in your heart and be your Lord forever.

With that being said, let’s get back to before the foundation of the world. Paul explained to the Roman Church that God makes all things work together for our good. When you know in advance the decision a person will make, you can make the bad decision still work for his good. Just because God knows we will miss the mark don't mean he chose for us to miss the mark. But he uses the bad decision to work in our favor anyway. For example, you are on your way to Dallas from Shreveport, you get off I-20 and get lost. You miss the mark and it will slow you down from getting to your destination. However while you are lost, you stop at a station and find one thousand dollars, that worked out to your favor. So before you got lost, God saw this tape on your life before he created you. So, he just used your mistake to get you an extra one thousand dollars. So he knows we will get off track, but he still designed some things for you before the foundation of the world. These things will bless you on your travels on the earth.

Paul said, “Who he did foreknow them also he predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son.” This word foreknow, means that he knew us in advance. While predestinate means, to limit in advance, predetermine before.

pro-or-id'-zo ( Greek for predestinate )

from 4253 and 3724; to limit in advance, i.e. (figuratively) predetermine: determine before, ordain, predestinate.

God knew us before we were born and predetermined somethings about our life on earth. He chose for me to be born in Monroe, Louisiana. He chose my mother and father. God chose the color of my skin and the boundaries of my habitation. He purposed for me to be brought up in Winnsboro, Louisiana. He predetermined for me to jointly form into the image of Christ. Did I have a choice on what he predetermined? The answer is yes and no. I did not have a choice on where I would be born. I did not have a choice on the color of my skin or who would be my parents. However, I did have a choice on whether or not I would accept Jesus as my Lord. Plus I had choice on almost all the decisions I would make in Life. I can chose whether I will do right or wrong. I made the choice to be faithful concerning my calling. I decide almost all of the decisions I make in life. God named above what he ordained or predetermined concerning me being a child of God.

Because he knew before the foundation of the world that I would accept Jesus he preordained my salvation. We cannot stop God from doing things the way he operates. We don't know all the ways of the spirit of God. He completed my salvation in the spirit before the foundation of the world. The same with everyone that will accept Jesus to be their Lord. Yes he called us, justified and glorified us before the foundation of the world. Some will ask if that is real or just in his mind. He did not give that answer in the bible. Remember we are the clay and he is the potter. How this was done before the foundation the world is a great mystery. But you can be sure it did happen.

Deuteronomy 29:29

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Everything in this seen realm had to go thought the process of the spirit realm first. The unseen realm is the manufactory of the seen world. All of the seen planets, stars, animals, clouds and all things in this realm came from the invisible heaven or God’s domain. God manufactured it in the spirit before he called it into the natural. Jesus was slain in the spirit before he was slain on earth. We were justified in the spirit realm before we were justified on earth. We were glorified in the spirit before we received all the glory coming on earth now. We have manifested all that God predestined for us except all of the manifested glory. While we have be gloried in the spirit realm, this glorification will never run out. Paul said, "In the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus." in Ephesians the second chapter.

The Spiritual Manufactory

The spirit realm is the domain of the Lord. God is the creator of heaven and earth. The Holy Spirit himself is the spirit realm. Everything in the spirit realm is therefore Holy. This realm is invisible to the natural eye of humans. While fallen angels, fallen cherubim and other fallen creations have spirits they are not in this spirit realm. Everything including unholy angels, cherubim, men and other species that have a spirit and are not holy are not in this spirit realm. God refers to the evil spirit’s domain as flesh. This word, flesh meaning everything outside of the Holy Spirit.

Flesh (sarx in Greek)

probably from the base of 4563; flesh (as stripped of the skin), i.e. (strictly) the meat of an animal (as food), or (by extension) the body (as opposed to the soul (or spirit), or as the symbol of what is external, or as the means of kindred), or (by implication) human nature (with its frailties (physically or morally) and passions), or (specially), a human being (as such): carnal(-ly, + ly minded), flesh(-ly).

Romans 8:1-10

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

This word flesh is a reference to everything that is external or not in the Spirit. Flesh is human thoughts, ideas, imaginations, weakness, sins, desires, spirits, hearts, minds, souls and every things that is not pure. Flesh also includes unclean spirits, evil spirits, fallen spirits and their thoughts, ideas, and imaginations. Paul, in verse 9 states that the saints are not in the flesh but the spirit. He is referring to our born again spirit that was created in Christ Jesus. Man is a spirit, he has a soul, and lives inside a body.

Everything to do with election, predestination, justification and glorification before the foundation of the world was completed in a spirit like a manufactory, only it is a spiritual manufactory in the Holy Ghost. Every created good thing, angels, men, heavens, spiritual species, earth species and other good thing were completed in the spiritual manufactory before it was given manifested life. Once completed by God himself, then he would speak it out and predestinate all good things as he chose them to be.

However, every living species was created with the ability to make a choice. Man is the only species that the Bible refers to that has a right to make a choice. Angels have made bad choices without the right. It cost them eternal damnation. Even though Father has blessed us with all spiritual blessing and predestines these blessings on us, we have to make the choice to receive them. We have to make a choice to receive on God’s timing. God’s timing is always early and the right time. Man’s time is always late and costs heartache. Every man’s salvation was predestinated, completed in the spirit realm before he was created. However, not every man will answer when he is put on earth. So if he does not answer his call from God to come back into him and be saved, then he is doomed to eternal punishment. Even though the lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. Even though his salvation was complete before the foundation of the world.

Psalms 69:25-29

Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. 26 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. 27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. 28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. 29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

Revelation 3:5-6

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

While predestination and all good things were completed in the spirit realm before they were born, that does not mean all things are destine to happen. Romans the eighth chapter says, “As many as are led by the spirit they are the sons of God.” Yes it is already done, but we have to be led by the Spirit of God for all of the preordained manifestations. For example, you can have a car already prepared and paid for in your name, but you have to make the decision to go get the car. Someone could call you and tell you the car is waiting on you. But, you have to believe that and act on their word and go get the car. Free salvation has been prepared, completed and waiting for all men in the spirit realm, but they have to believe and receive. The name could be in the book as belonging to you, but if you don't receive Jesus it will be blotted out of the book of Life.

Don't make the mistake to think just because God has prepared all good things for you before the foundation of the world, they will come to you automatically. No, my brothers and sister you have to pray, ask, demand, receive and take what belongs to you. This is why the word says men should always pray. This is the purpose of the spirit of faith, to show us that it is already done, and lead us to manifestation. The ten lepers had new skin preordained for them, but they had to make a demand of Jesus for manifestation. The blind man had eyes prepared in the spirit, but they had to petition Jesus for manifestation. Remember all good things come from the realm above.

Hebrews 4:1-6

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

The Creator again reminds us that the work was finished before the foundation of the world. Father sent Moses and the Holy Ghost into Egypt to lead the children of Israel into the promised land that was prepared for them before the foundation of the world. They could not see it by faith and therefore could not believe. So most of them died in the wildness without receiving what was finished for them before the foundation of the world. Yes, my brothers and sisters, God, in the spiritual manufactory, had completed these houses, land, mountains, fruits, temples, wealth, money and all not mention for Israel, perhaps billions of years before the world began. They did not believe the great news and died not having receive what God had for them. Unbelief in the finished works stops manifestation on earth.

While they did not have a written Bible to see what belonged to them, we have the written will of God paid for in full by the blood of Jesus. Do you believe the following are completed for you?

Psalms 112:3

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

3 John 1:2

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Psalms 23

A Psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul:

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

John 16:13-16

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me:for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine:therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16 A little while, and ye shall not see me:and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

The spirit of truth always makes known to us that God has already preordained the manifestation of your prayers. Then the spirit of truth will show it to you by faith. It is in the faith realm where it exist in spirit form. Also, faith will also lead you to it if it is on earth already. But what you are believing in already exists. More than 99 percent of the things God prepared for us before the foundation of the world is already on earth. This is why we have followed the spirit by faith to manifested glory. There remains a rest for the people of God. But we have to labor through prayer, faith, patients and other means to enter into the already prepared place of rest. The spiritual manufactory has been in rest since the completion of the sixth day in Genesis. Just say I believe I receive the answer to prayer now. Thank your God for preparing it for you before the foundation of the world.

REVIEW NOTES

Chapter 2

LIFE IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AFTER CREATION

Divine Justice God Eternal Law Forever

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-5

First, it is essential to understand that before anything was seen or unseen. God, the word,.denotes self-existing one or self -sufficient one and describes God as needing nothing or no one. Therefore, there is none like unto him. He is and always will be God by himself. God is not a name but rather a description of character. This independent God began His creative process first by creating the invisible world, which we have known as the “supera” or “above” the physical world. This act in itself initiated the concept of “ruler” as the creator became the King or Governor over a created realm. God named the invisible kingdom or domain “heaven.”

This was the beginning of the kingdom of God. Now the King had created his own domain that was his to dominate as a King. Our concept “kingdom” received its roots right here in the beginning. It is essential, critical, necessary, and imperative for you to understand this concept of the kingdom of God. Our understanding of God’s purpose, intent, and objectives for his kingdom will change our way of thinking about God forever. Note in the scripture, “In the beginning was the Word and the word was with God and the word was God.” Through his word he is letting us in on a very important secret, God and his word are one. Jesus and the word are one and the Holy Ghost and the word are one. All things were spoken into existence by God, his word created it; obeying him and doing exactly what he said. Without the Word (Jesus Christ) was not made. Therefore, Jesus Christ (the Word) is qualified as God and creator equal with the Father. Before anything was created Jesus was with God as the Word. In him was the light of men which is the life of men. All of the God life comes from Jesus. The light also is referring to the wisdom, understanding and knowledge of man. Remember this, “My people perish because of the lack of knowledge.”

As you read this book it very important to remember that God is Holy. Meaning that he is God all by himself and none can be compared unto him. Without him, nothing exists in heaven, on earth, beneath the earth are anywhere else. Without him we cannot breathe, talk, wake up, sleep, raise our hands up, tie our shoe or anything else. Because God is the source of all life everywhere. Who can be compared unto him, declaring the end from the beginning? He tells the future in a book and the exact events come to pass. Not one detail is missing as the future plays out. He is God all by himself. He is a God of love, grace and mercy. He has a love for man that surpasses our human understanding.

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man Heb 2:5-9 (KJV)

He has elevated man to the highest position of his creation. There is nothing that he has created or will create that will ever rank to the level he has promoted his man. He has put his body in the God class. Yes, we are the elite family of God. The Lord himself being the source and head of this highly elevated family. These family members are now his spiritual body forever. The God head and God body together for eternity. He has made the Body of Christ to be his own personal body. This body is a spiritual body that God has chosen to dwell in forever. He has chosen man to be his body, temple, tabernacle, and house of the following:

1. Word

2. Wisdom

3. Spirit

4. Son

5. 7 spirits of God

6. All his names

7. Christ Jesus

8. High Priest

9. King of Kings

10. Lord of Lords

11. Most High

12. I am because I am

13. God and everything he is without end forever

However, to do this it would cost him everything. No wonder Solomon said:

For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. Eccl 1:17-18 (KJV)

God gave his wisdom a plan that included man being his spiritual body. The man’s name was Jesus (the last Adam), who also was and is God. The seven spirits of God displayed the future with all evil things that would be encountered. This would be a task that only a divine God could bring to completion. Just like you look at a movie, it was like God’s seven spirits showed him the exact future with all the options he could take to make a man that would be attached to him as his spiritual and seen body forever. First the man would have to have freedom of choice. He would have to make a choice to be holy. For the man to be one with him he would have to submit to God the same way the trinity submits to each other as one God. The wisdom showed God that Adam and Eve made a wrong choice. A choice that would bring death on the whole human race. A choice that would send men to hell forever. God’s divine justice would sentence evil men to hell for eternity. In the movie he saw the flood, he saw Sodom, Israel rejecting him and men rejecting him as Lord.

God was able to see wars and rumors of wars. He saw all the evil things that we have read about in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. He saw himself grieved in his heart that he had made man. He saw men sleeping with men, he saw women sleeping with women and he saw angel (sons of God ) sleeping with the daughters of men. His Spirit showed him in detail all of the decisions he would have to make because He is a holy judge.

In the end, he saw a redeemer who would take away the sin of the world. He saw Jesus nailed to the cross because of God’s own divine justice. Jesus however was for the will of the Godhead to be fulfilled. The Son was willing to suffer through death, hell, and grave for the will of God. Christ was willing to endure the cross because of the joy put before him. The redemption cost God his own blood. With this plan he saw divine sorrow and divine grief. As loving of a God as he is, the decision was now up to him. After looking forward and seeing the body of Christ, God makes this statement:

And God said, Let us make man 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. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Gen 1:26-28 (KJV)

Divine Justice

However, before he did this he set up what is known as divine justice. The justice would work for man and against man’s evil. He set up a holy sword of justice. This sword is known as the sword of the Spirit. The righteous judging word of God. He spoke to the (earth) dirt and told it what to do in the case of sin. He spoke to the whole earthly atmosphere, the rain, clouds, wind, and everything else in the earth realm. However, this was nothing new, this system of judgment was already set up in heaven. The angels of God already had the sword in their hands. His word was already in them.

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. Ex 23:20-22 (KJV)

Notice the angel already has God’s name ( Hebrew shem) meaning pre authorization to judge evil and good. All of God’s creation in heaven already had this sword in hand to eliminate evil. As the scripture says to keep thee in the way, and bring thee into the place which I have “prepared.” This sword of justice would always react to the choices made by men on the earth forever. There were set laws with sentences preordained by God before the foundation of the world. What a man sow, that shall he reap. With this heavenly system set up it would be the law of judgment in the earth realm. Before God made his man, this system was already in place.

Before the flood, this system was already in place. Before the ten commandments this sword was already operating. There are seven seasons of life on earth:

1. No law - from Adam to Moses

2. Law of Moses - from Moses to Jesus

3. Law of faith or grace - from Jesus to the rapture of the church 4. The vengeance of the Lord - from the rapture to the return of Christ (7 years)

5. The millennium reign of Christ

6. The white throne judgment

7. The new heaven and new earth

There are many season but the divine sword of justice is one that never fades. Our God is a consuming fire. This justice simply means the guilty will be judged without respect of person.

Romans 2:3-16

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

This divine justice is very simple without the add on of men. This is it, what a man sow, that shall he reap. Whether Jew, Christian or Gentile the justice will rain on the just or the unjust. God has made man the God over his own choice. Verse twelve above state, without the law if you sow the wrong choice you will receive that divine right justice. If under the law you still will receive that same divine justice by the law given. Because God has made man in his image, a god of his own choice. He will not dethrone you of being the god of your choice. For the life of his creation, his divine justice through the sword of his word will judge your choice without respect of person. However God has set up salvation through Jesus Christ. He has removed the penalty of eternal damnation if you receive Jesus. Also, by his own choice he will no longer remember your sins forever. He has removed the law of Moses out of the way so you cannot sin by breaking that law. He has offered everlasting life to all that believe without the works of the law.

This is just simply through faith in his unmerited grace. Just think how kind he is, he gives you everlasting life, freely without the works of the law. To understand divine justice we have to separate eternal salvation from the divine justice. Divine justice is an eternal system. Think of it this way, God doesn’t remember your sins and doesn’t even keep a record of them. What if you go kill 20 people and repent to the lord, will he forgive? Yes, if you truly repent. That does not rob divine justice from judging you based on your seed sown.

Divine justice has already been put in the mind of man, animals, dirt, air, angels and every seen and unseen thing that is in heaven and earth. God will forgive you but the man, ground, and everything will still seek divine justice. What you sowed will be determine to come up. You live by the sword then you will die by the sword. The only hope of salvation is through Jesus. If you do kill 20 people, you will have a hard case. This has nothing to do with eternal salvation but rather to be saved from divine justice. When men catch up with you, divine justice in them will make you pay for the murders you committed. God doesn’t even have to remember what you did, the word of divine justice has already spoken however it will judge you.

For example, for the believer ,God is not keeping a record of your sins, you go and smoke drugs and cigarettes etc., your own body will shut you down because divine justice is in your body. You say, “ O Lord, forgive me for my evil.” and he will forgive you and has already forgiven you forever, never the less divine justice will make sure you get what you sowed. You commit fornication and ask god to forgive, he will and has already forgiven you forever, however, if you have AIDS, it will fight against your body. You commit adultery and ask God from your heart to forgive you, no problem, if it come from your heart, but that spouse might be coming with the sword of death because of your deed. That is why Jesus told Peter, “If you live by the sword you shall die by the sword.”

The earth quakes with divine justice. The rain and the wind will come with divine justice. You are saved and filled with the Holy Ghost and listen to your flesh to break in to somebody’s house, the dog has divine justice in him, the gun in the house was built for divine justice, the man in the house has divine justice built in him. In all of these, God is still a good God and loves you and doesn’t remember your sins. If you repent, he will still allow you into heaven. If you are really saved, your salvation is one hundred percent secured. Divine justice, good or bad will come at you for good or bad, based on the choice you made. You are the God of your choice. Death and life are in the power of your tongue. Death and life come from the deed seeds you sow. What a man sow, that shall he reap. God is a good God all the time. Divine righteous justice is the character of God.

Romans 8:1-9

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Now this letter is to born again believers in Rome. Those who God has forever forgiven of their sins. Then he let us know that he is not condemning those who are in Christ. Then he is saying that because of Jesus, we are righteous forever. However he warns to be carnal minded and bring forth death. This death doesn’t mean he is going to send you to hell. Remember he has given the believer everlasting life. He doesn’t even keep record of our sins. He has cast our sins from us as far as the east is from the west forever. Still to be led by your carnal mind brings forth death to you by way of your bad choice.

It does not mean God chases you and kills you, it means you are running into the sword of justice. It is hard when we kick against the prick. The sword of divine justice is already out there in place and will never be moved. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, follow him and not your flesh. He leads to the abundant life. Jesus’s road is narrow and few stay on his road. Wide is the road to destruction and many are on that road. It is like the divine sword of justice was put out there by God, and it will not be moved. It is to our advantage to not make choices that bring divine justice in the wrong way. If we run upon it, you will fill the pain of judgment. So if we know the carnal mind is against God and his divine justice, why follow flesh upon the sword of justice. It will destroy all evil that continued to run into judgments.

To be spiritual minded is life and peace. The same divine justice that correct believers and judge sinners is the same sword that rains the blessing on the believers and sinners alike. God is just simply very good. He has no respect for persons when it comes to justice. What a man sow, that shall he reap. The bible is loaded with everything we need to get on the blessing side. For example, give and it shall be given unto you good measure, pressed down shaken together, running over shall men give unto you. Why? Because everything has the sword of divine justice built into it. If you sow spirally you shall reap spirally, if you sow bountifully, you shall reap beautiful harvest in abundance. The bible is like an open book test, that every man can get his desired result.

Spiritual Substances

While the Holy Spirit is the spirit realm, the kingdom of heaven is the domain, or headquarters for God. The kingdom of God is who owns the kingdom. How blessed is the domain of heaven where God’s throne resides. Nothing but joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. This realm is full of spirit life. All things in heaven are created from spiritual substance. On earth, all things are created from physical substance. How beautiful heaven must be to see. We have seen how beautiful the earth is already. Just think of all the glory on Earth, Mars and the rest of seen universe. It is nothing close to the spiritual universal called heaven. How beautiful are stars, planets, roads, animals, trees, grass, water, buildings, cars, jets, spaceships, insects, gold, silver, diamonds and other things created as spirit substances rather than seen substances. These products are from the unseen realm and not the seen. They are from heaven and not from earth. There are so many other beautiful thing men will create on earth if The Lord tarry. Heaven is full of the patterns of all earth creations. There is nothing new under heaven.

Heaven is a place where there is no sickness, poverty, hard times, envy, hate or any other kind of evil. There is no need for the sun or the moon, because God is the glory thereof. There is no time, because heaven is above time. No need for sleep or rest, these things are earthly things. What it must have been like millions of years ago and what it is like now. How beautiful a spiritual diamond must be. How beautiful spirit water and bread must be up there. Those burning trees made out of spirit are out of this world.

While heaven was created perhaps billions times billions of years ago, earth was not just created during the time of Adam’s creation. The seen universe and earth has been here for a long time. Just because our bible doesn’t give the time table doesn’t mean it was created at the time of Genesis 1:2 and forward. Verse one says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. There could be a giant gap between verse one and verse two. One thing we know, when God creates something, it is good. So verse two is conformation that something went wrong, because the earth was void, without form, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Let’s take a look at a bad chapter in heaven.

Satan Commits Sin in Heaven

Ezekiel 28:11-19

Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 12 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. 13 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. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned:therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God:and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

God gave his prophet a divine word that is worthy of a movie, of exactly what happened probably millions of year before man was created. He describe Satan as beautiful, perfect, and full of the wisdom of God. He describes the spiritual stones that were the covering for his spirit. These stones are not physical stones but living or spiritual stones. Father then showed the prophets the talking and praise pipes of his voice. Satan was the anointed cherub. The cherub is the highest class of God’s creation in the angel class. He was the cherub that covers or acts as God’s right hand angel. A covering is like a rain coat you put on to shield you from the rain. It is like the security officers for the president. It is like the helmet and suits astronauts put on before they go into space. Like the body we have on now covering our spirit, soul and inward parts. What a blessed position for an angel to be selected as the Lord cherub.

Covereth - (Hebrews word - cakak)- A primitive root; properly to entwine as a screen; by implication to fence in, cover over, (figuratively) protect: cover, defense, defend, hedge in, join together, set, shut up.

This highly honored cherub was created to defend, hedge, protect and act like a body shield for God Almighty. He was to cover over like a suit, body or like the cloud that covered God in the book of Exodus. Satan was also an anointed cherub. This word anointed means to be painted with the spirit of the Lord. This prince was consecrated to be God’s anointed. When men in the Old Testament were anointed they were considered one with God as long as they were anointed. Whatever or whoever God touches becomes one with him as long as his present is with them. What an honor Satan had, at the time.

Notice that Satan was created perfect in all his ways until he chose sin. Then God tells him that the love of his merchandise (money) was the root or cause of his evil. Even though the merchandise Satan had was in spirit form, it was still real substance. All of those precious stone were valuable spiritual substance. The text is twofold representing Satan and the King of Tyrus. Like Satan, this king performed the same evil. Satan filled his heart with violence against God. He wanted to take the merchandise of heaven. This violence was murder in his heart toward God. To hate your brother without a cause is murder in the heart (see Matthew 5:22 and John 5:25). It was this hateful act that caused the death of Jesus. The spirit of Satan was in all of them that had part in Jesus’s crucifixion.

Yes, it was in heaven where iniquity was found in Satan’s heart. Iniquity means to be morally wrong, crooked and unjust in the heart. God’s Spirit picked up the evil in his heart and then Satan became violent. This violence caused him to be kicked out of the spiritual mountain of God. This mountain could be twofold, the position of his rank and the heavenly spirit realm. Remember, God showed him the stones of fire, which included God’s future sons and daughters.

I believe Satan was jealous of the higher ranking children of God who were to come. He wanted his throne to be equal to God’s on the side of the North. God continued by saying to him, “Because of your beauty and your brightness you were corrupted.” The Lord was the one who gave him his beauty and his brightness. Satan had the 7 spirits of God in him and on him. These include the spirit of the Lord, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, might and the fear of the Lord. God tells why he gives the seven spirit to his creation in Isaiah the eleventh chapter. So that we will have reverence for our Creator. Satan lost his reverence for his owner, God.

It is this same spirit that caused the flood, men lost their respect for the Lord. Then these men turned violent like Satan. This evil attitude caused the flood to come on earth. Today is Friday August 3, 2013, and on Tuesday Satan used some violent thieves to break into our church and steel almost all of the air conditioning units, both central and window. A few months ago, they broke in and stole most of our sound system. My point: when demons enter men’s minds they have no respect for God’s house or man. Because they are operating with the spirit of the devil. He was a murderer from the beginning. He comes not but to steel, kill, and destroy. But thanks be to God we will get double for our trouble.

Satan’s sin back then was because he wanted to stop the future plans and purpose of God. He could not stop God in heaven, and he won’t stop our church on earth. Jesus said that the gates of hell shall not prevail against his church. Satan doesn’t want this book to be publish, but he can't stop God’s purpose. God prepared this book before the foundation of the world. Just a few months ago, my son had a dream or vision, and he saw an angel that came from heaven to give me a book. I believe this is one of the books the angel brought to me. Praise The Lord it will be published throughout the whole world in the name of Jesus.

After Satan became violent, he was cast out of heaven and out of the spirit realm. Because there can be no evil in the Spirit of Lord. So before you could bet your eye, Satan was put out forever. Jesus said he saw Satan fall like lightning going from the east to the west. Have you ever seen that lighting? It is very swift.So in just less than a few seconds, Satan and one third of the angels were out of heaven and on a place called earth. Then God tells Satan that because of brightness he has defiled his wisdom and dwelling place. Therefore you are cast down to earth, brought to ashes, and laid before the kings of the earth. God tells him he bring forth a fire out of the midst of him and it will devour him.

Satan apparently was traveling and trading merchandise. Also, it should be noted that Ezekiel was speaking against the king of Tyrus. The Word of God brings in a close comparison between Satan and this king. So the trafficking could include what the king was doing as well as Satan. Was Satan actually trading spiritual things? Is there buying and selling going own in heaven? What other spiritual planets are out there other than heaven? Selah. I believe that the unseen universe is so much larger than the seen universe. Heaven is the headquarters for all realms, seen and unseen. We have to stretch our thinking when talking about it and the Most High God. There could be all kinds of business transactions taking place throughout the invisible universe. We don't even know for sure if there is life on the seen planets. Then there could be unseen creatures on some of the seen planets as well. Selah, meaning think on this .

God said the devil was on the holy mountain of God. He was in the highest place of authority at that time. Then God showed him the stones of fire. I believe these stones of fire were the sons and daughters of God that were yet to come. This could have been part of Satan’s down fall. If these stones were the future church or body of God, then it could be that Satan allowed evil to attack him through envy. Maybe God was showing a vision of his future sons and daughters. He probably could see they were on a higher level than God had created him. Regardless, this was the point that sin was found in his heart. Take a look of what God said in the bible about the stones:

1 Peter 2:4-8

To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Peter by the Holy Ghost paints a picture of Jesus being the chief corner stone of the Church. He refers to him as living stones. Then he reveals that we are living stones. Satan could have seen this holy mountain, Mt. Zion the chosen dwelling place of God. Remember he was on the holy mountain of God. The stones in both Ezekiel and 1 Peter were both talking about living breathing stones.

Ezekiel refers to stones of fire. While Peter refers to living stones. To get the meaning of fire and living stones is found in the word spirit. God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Angels are ministering spirits. Then man is a spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body. To get a picture of what Satan saw we have to define the words spirit and fire.

Spirit – (ruwach in Hebrew)

From 7306; wind; by resemblance breath, that is, a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figuratively life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extension a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being (including its expression and functions):--air, anger, blast, breath, X cool, courage, mind, X quarter, X side, spirit ([-ual]), tempest, X vain, ([whirl-]) wind (-y).

A primitive root; properly to blow, that is, breathe; only (literally) to smell or (by implication perceive (figuratively to anticipate, enjoy):--accept, smell, X touch, make of quick understanding.

pnyoo'-mah (spirit in Greek)

from 4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:--ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind. Compare 5590.

'esh (fire in Hebrew)

A primitive word; fire (literally or figuratively):--burning, fiery, fire, flaming, hot.

poor (fire in Greek)

a primary word; "fire" (literally or figuratively, specially, lightning):--fiery, fire.

Therefore we can see that the word spirit means wind, fire, breath, life and personality mix together to be one person spirit. Whether it be God, angel, man or any other spiritual being. This fire and wind is supernatural fire, wind, breath and life. Keep in mind natural seen things are physical and not spiritual. The living stones Ezekiel and Peter is talking are spirit beings. Specifically the spirits of the sons and daughters of God.

Ezekiel 1:4-5

And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

Ezekiel 1:26-28

And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone:and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. 28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

God, through the spirit gives Ezekiel a glimpse of himself and his glory. Remember, God is a spirit and they that connect with him must do so with their spirit and with truth. The Lord shows the prophet his glory in the spirit. He sees a cloud, whirlwind and a fire unfolding itself. This cloud, wind, and fire probably represent the vehicle that God was traveling on. The living creature appears to be the living transportation that chauffeurs God around. If you read the rest of chapter one, you will see wings, wheels, and feet of the living creatures. There were wheels that had the spirit of the living creatures in them. Ezekiel said they looked like a wheel within a wheel. This means the wheels were controlled by the spirit rather than a physical steering wheel.

To understand spiritual things we have to think in spirit rather than in the natural. When we think in the natural, we always try to change the Word by fleshly translations. Now in the spirit, if we don't translate, God is showing, through his word, heavenly creatures around his throne connected to a living vehicle. We have gotten it in our minds, the things on earth are a reflection of things in heaven. We can see and receive earthly horses, donkeys, camels and other type of created animals. We can see cars, jets and spaceships for our transportation. Why is it so hard for the body to see spiritual horses, jets, spaceships, clouds and other spiritual creatures as vehicles in heaven? They are simply made out of spirit substance verses earth substances.

Then the Almighty is revealed to the prophet. First he sees the likeness of a throne with the appearance of sapphire stone. We know the throne and the sapphire are made of spirit materials. Then God is seen, he was fire from his lions up and fire from his lions down. This fire had amber like color in the spirit. Then around him was brightness in a shape like a rainbow. This was the likeness of the glory of Lord. This gives us a picture of how things were and are in the heavenly realm.

When the Holy Spirit came to the church, he came also like a rushing mighty wind. There appeared cloven tongues like fire. When God settled on mount Sinai he set the mountain on fire. When God was in the cloud in the wildness he appeared as a fire by night. God made the covenant with Abraham when he walked through as a smoking furnace. Everything in the spirit realm has a wind fire like substance. Glory to God I am on earth but I have a heavenly wind and fire spirit just like my Father.

Satan Falls From Heaven

Isaiah 14:12-18

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! 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: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 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; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

Isaiah tells of the same event that Ezekiel talked about why Satan was removed out of heaven. He refer to Satan as Lucifer, the son of the morning. The cherub was called the son of the morning. Notice it said son and not sun of the morning. This means he was in a prince position of rank and wisdom. Lucifer means a blazing shining star, and prince. He was in first position with God. Only God was ruling over him. Our Father made him prince among angels. There were no angels ranked above Lucifer.

He was the brightest, he was the chosen one to be God’s anointed cherub. God filled him with wisdom and understanding. From the word it seems he was the best looking angel where glory was concerned. He was very rich with the heavenly glory of substance that Father had given unto him. Then he turned on his God and decided he was going be more highly than God made him to be.

Isaiah explains that he was cast out to the ground. Then he indicates that Satan weakens the nations. The ground he fell to was the earth. The nations he weakened could have been some type of race of creation on the earth at that time. Remember when God created the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:1, it was totally completed with nothing missing or lacking. These nations and the earth were destroyed between verse one and verse two of Genesis one. This also answers the question of scientist and archeologist concerning prehistoric creatures, and cave men. While the Bible doesn’t give all the details, it does indicated the earth was void and without form. It tells us that darkness was upon the earth.

When Satan fell, he destroyed everything on the planet. This fall was a result of an unholy choice. This is the reason the Holy Ghost had to move upon the face of the earth. That word moved in Genesis chapter one verse two means flutter, flap, brood, shake and settle down on the face of the earth. The face would mean all of the outside of the round earth. It was like God Spirit was flapping like those insects that flap and hover in one place then move around. However, he covered it with his Spirit like water covering land in a lake. He was shaking as living water on the face of earth. This gave the earth life.

Not only did Satan bring darkness on earth, he also destroyed it so bad it was ignorant. The clouds were on the ground, the water that was in low places was now covering the high places of the earth. The stars, sun and moon that were bringing light to earth were destroyed. If there were any living thing like grass or trees they were not seen and did not know how to grow. Satan comes not but to steal, kill and destroy. That is exactly what he did to this planet called Earth.

Lucifer said in his heart he was going to exalt his throne above the stars of God. The stars could have been heavenly stars or heavenly beings. These stars also could have represented God stars (sons and daughter) that would be created in Christ Jesus. Remember our spirit is made out of spiritual wind and fire just like Father from original spirit material (God spirit).

The angel spirit is also made out of a flame of fire. So Satan wanted to be above all angels and the body of Christ. This was foolish thinking on his behalf. How can any creation get above Christ’s body. We are talking about the "spiritual body" of Christ. The body of Christ is the body of God. How can anything created get above the feet of God. If I am just the toe of God in his body, Satan can't pass me up. Because if he did he would be passing up the Almighty Body.

His desire was to have his throne on the mount of the congregation. This goes back to:

Psalm 82

A Psalm of Asaph. 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? Selah. 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 are out of course. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

This is the congregation that Satan wanted to not only sit with but to be above. The congregation is the sons and daughters of God. I believe these are also the stars he wanted to be above. All of God’s children are mighty gods. We are highly exalted stars. We are the son of the morning. Satan was in that position but it always belonged to the body of Christ. He was only temporary in that position. The proof of him being temporary is he was fired forever. Jesus has made us kings and priests. We are the congregation of mount Zion the Holy Mountain of God. There are one class of gods, that is the sons and daughters of God.

Satan wanted to be above the holy clouds of God. The Body of Christ is a spiritual type of cloud, of God. Remember, God was in the cloud leading Israel out. This cloud was like a covering for him. Satan was designed to be a covering for him. Jesus built God an everlasting covering, the body of Christ.

Jesus is building the church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. God’s former covering, Lucifer, failed. He was built out of angel material. But this covering is made out of God material in Christ. Forget it Satan, you will never get to the place you desire. The Lord rebuke you forever. It is finished, the church is a completed work of God, completed before the foundation of the world.

Lucifer wanted to be like the most high. But not so said the Lord, “But you will be cast down to hell.” God also said through Isaiah, “I am God and there are none like me, declaring the end from the Beginning saying my council will stand.”( Isaiah 46) Satan didn't ever think he could be above God, he just wanted to be as high and powerful as my Father. God already knew what Satan would try before he created him. Still Satan was the one that made that unholy choice. Satan has already been removed from heaven. His next destination is the bottomless pit. Where he will spend one thousand man years there. After that, he, along with hell, will be cast into the lake of fire. Where he will live and be tormented forever.

The Creation of the World

Genesis 1:1-1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

God in verse one of Genesis, creates the heavens and the earth. Take note the God finished the creation of the heavens and the earth in verse one. We know when God creates anything it is right, holy and complete. There is a gap of perhaps billions times billions of years between verse one and verse two. This is the reason scientist come up with so many year according to science. Isaiah in chapter 14:16, 17 confirms that Satan made the earth to tremble, destroyed the kingdoms, made the world as a wildness and destroyed the cities. While we don't have a lot of references in the Bible, it says enough to let us know that a world and some type of man like being was on earth before man was created.

Man has found frames of both men like beings and animals that date backs millions of years. We as Christians just have to educate the body in the word. We can't be so shallow minded when it come to our God. We know he always existed and that he is a creator. So it is only wisdom that lets us know there was a world of things that happened before the creation of Adam. Christian and Jewish research confirms Adam’s creation was about 6000 years ago. While the original creation in verse one could be a billion times billions of years in the past. What God wanted us to know is that the earth was void and darkness was up on the face of the deep in verse two.

Remember, in verse one God created the heavens and the earth. The heavens could include the invisible heaven and the heavens above the earth. While the heaven where God dwells is invisible to man, the physical stars and galaxies are also considered a heaven from the earth. So according to the prophet Isaiah, Satan destroyed the earth and threw everything off balance and into darkness.

In verse two, God comes back and by his spirit, rebuilds the earth to its original form. The clouds were laying on the ground. The water were covering the high places of the earth. Water from the above heaven had fallen over all the earth. Not only was the sea full, but the land part of earth was full of water. The earth was void, ignorant, and darkness was on the face of the earth. The earth which one time was full of life, full of wisdom and understanding because the word was in it, was now completely void and in darkness. The cloud didn't know where to be at. The water was just sitting as if it had no command from God. The dry land was dead-like and not producing anything.

Then the Spirit of The Lord moved over the face of the waters. This word, moved, means the Spirit just laid down on or relaxed over the waters. Then his Spirit began to flutter; shaking and moving over all the earth at the same time. The spirit was covering the whole earth like water in a pool. Then while he covered it he began to shake and flap through every inch of the earth. Flapping like a dove, bird or a flying insects, over the whole area. It was like wind moving in wind or water moving in water. It was life fire burning throughout fire. Remember God spirit is like wind, fire and breath mixed together. There was a great shaking on the earth by the spirit of the living God.

Isaiah 40:12-15

Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him? 14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding? 15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

Isaiah indicates that God measured the waters in the hollow of his hand. He took a small unit of water and put it in the hollow of his hand. From there he knew how much water was on earth and the amount out of place. Then he measured out the heaven just with the span of his hand, from thumb spread to the writing or pointing finger. Using this measurement he was able to put all of the wind, gravity, and clouds back into place. Using his hand with only the dust in a measure he comprehended the amount that was out of place and the amount to put back on the mountains, hills and other locations of the earth. By doing so, he would balance the earth over again and put it back on its original track.

Then God, after hovering, measuring the earth, clouds, wind and all other substance, his wisdom gave him direction. He spoke to the clouds and wisdom went back into clouds, then moved the earth back to its proper place. The water went back into the sea and back into the heavens all at the command of God. The earth was put back on its invisible axle. Gravity began to function properly once again. The dirt had the wisdom back also, and began to grow what God commanded it to grow. Trees and vegetation began to come forward from the earth at the command of God.

The earth was now held up by the word in place using what man called gravity. Which received its birth and orders from the word of God. The earth began to rotate once again from west toward the east. As viewed from the North Star or polestar, the earth turns counter-clockwise. The earth rotates once in about 24 hours from the point of view of the sun. That's a rate of about 1000 miles per hour. The time it takes the earth to rotate is called a day. This rotation gives us night and day. The earth is moving around the sun rather than the sun going up and down.

While spinning counter-clockwise, the earth is also in an elliptical orbit obit around our sun. The earth’s orbit is near a complete circle around the sun. It takes roughly 365 days (1year) for the earth to go around the sun once. This mean not only is it spinning counter-clockwise at 1000 miles per hour, but it’s also rushing around the sun at the same time at a speed of about 67,000 miles per hour. Our God put all this in motion with his wisdom by the spoken word. We on earth are always on the move. Is there anything too hard for The Lord?

With everything now in place, The Lord says, “Let us make man in our own image after our likeness and let him have dominion over all the earth.” So God formed Adam from the dust of the ground. He blew into the dirt suit, and the soul of Adam became alive. This breath of life caused man to become a living soul. God spirit was in Adam spirit, he was full of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. There was no darkness or evil in Adam at all. All Adam knew was goodness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Then God brought all the animal kingdom and every living thing to Adam and whatever Adam named them, they became what he said. Therefore he was the God on earth. Just about all species were made in a bowed down position, indicating they were under his authority.

Adam was King of the earth all by himself. The only one that had authority over him was his creator, The Almighty God. It was God’s desire for him to rule the earth as his Father ruled the unseen heavens. There was no death, sickness, poverty, hard work or anything that was evil. The whole earth was his domain and all that would come from his loins. He did not get tired of sweat. Didn't have to worry about weight, dieting, heart attack, cancer, or any evil thing. There was no need for police, lawyers, judges or any type of law enforcement. Just peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

His Father God, gave him dominion of over all the animals, living things, water, plants, trees and everything on the earth. God had only one command for Adam. One tree in the midst of the garden of Eve, God commanded Adam not to eat. This tree was for God domain on earth. God explained in detail to Adam, “If you eat of this tree you will surely die.” I believe he explained in detail to Adam what death meant. He was saying to him that sickness will come, poverty will come, hard times will come, hard work will come, storms will come and all kind of darkness will come at you and all mankind.

This man was full of the wisdom of God and knew the penalty of disobeying God. The sin that Adam would commit was worse than treason to a country. Just because the Bible doesn’t give all the details, we know our God always gives his commandments in detail. There was no reason for God to write it in a book called the Bible. Adam had perfect memory just like God. God would not penalize mankind if Adam didn't know exactly what he was doing. The Lord loved this man with all his heart. He was the first species made in his image. They had a Father son relationship that well exceeded the relationships we have with our parents. Listen again to what the angels said about this relationship.

Hebrews 2:5-8

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

Saints, this man was not only in charge of this world, but the world to come as well. He was God’s heir to all that belonged to God. The angel commented that your mind stay on Adam. You made him a little lower than yourself. This word, angel, is referring to Psalms 8, Elohyim or God. He was crowned with God-like authority, power, and glory. All things were subject to him on earth and in heaven. The world to come would be under his feet or authority. After knowing all this how could he take one tree that God said don't eat from?

God is a just and Holy God. He never intended for the man to betray him. He knew that he would because he is all knowing. He had already experienced this within himself or in the spirit realm. In God, there is a spiritual manufactory that all things go through before they become a reality. This is just the way things are with God. He cannot stop him from being omniscient. So he has to experience thing first within himself, then again in the present world. What a Holy hurt this must have been to him both times. With God, there is nothing new under the sun or above the sun. His purpose takes priority over all of his Holy feelings. Through his love and purpose God continued straight through the purpose driven future, which he has already experience within this spiritual manufactory in the spirit. God is the Spirit and a Spirit. He contains the spirit realm himself.

Can Man Fly?

Adam’s dominion over the earth was very short. While we don't know the exact number of years before the fall, we do know it was less than 130 years because of the records of his son, Seth. Adam lived a hundred and thirty years and begat a son of his own likeness and image and named him Seth (see Genesis 5:3). Then we know that at least 18 months can be taken away from that 130 years, with Abel and Cain in Eve’s womb. Just think, if he lived 100 years before the fall, it must have been fun to be on earth. Since he was the assigned God of the earth.

Just because the bible doesn’t give all the details of Adam and Eve’s life doesn’t mean that stayed in the Garden and worked all day. During this time they might have been flying around the earth. The bible doesn’t say this, and does not say it didn't happen. What we do know, men have flown on earth before our time. Elijah went to heaven on a chariot of fire. Horses of fire carried him all the way to paradise or the planet called heaven. Also, Elijah, after praying for the rain to come again, outran the chariot back to Jezreel.

1 Kings 18:45-46

And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 46 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

Verse forty-six says the hand of The Lord was upon Elijah. This word, hand, is referring to open power and dominion for Elijah to use. With this anointing on him, he made it to Jezreel before Ahab with the chariot. So if a fallen man could pray and get that power and dominion back, and move like that, what about Adam and Eve before they lost the type of power and dominion on the earth? Then there was Enoch, who walked with God and was not, because God raptured him to Heaven. This was a fast flight. Phillip was preaching and baptized the Ethiopian and God moved him at a God speed.

Acts 8:35-40

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

The Spirit of The Lord in verse thirty-nine caught away Philip, and he was found Azotus. See, my brothers and sisters, we have to use our God thoughts to go deeper into the things of God. Without God thoughts, I could not even give these examples to back up my point that Adam and Eve could have traveled the whole earth before their fall. Because we allow Satan’s mind to limit our God given ability to hear from God, concerning the supernatural.

Matthew 27:50-53

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

When Jesus died, many that were in graves sat up, after the resurrection they went into the Holy City and this was seen by many. These saints were raised up and given new bodies. I wonder how they got to their next destination? See if we just think like God, we have the answer. They use the dominion power that Adam had before his fall to go into the invisible heaven. I think Adam had to be able to fly upward to have dominion over every flying thing. It is pretty hard to have total dominion over something that you can't get into in the realm where they live. How do men dominate other men? They go to where they are and bring them into that territory of dominion. If they are stronger, that use that wicked dominion and enslave men. My point being, to have dominion over something, you have to be able to take that territory. In war, whoever rules the air rules the territory.

Matthew 4:5-11

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Luke 4:5-13

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

Jesus was a man, just as Adam, walking by faith. Before Adam fell, he walked in dominion on earth just like Jesus. Jesus in the Word indicated he is the last Adam. What Jesus was doing on earth, was showing man how Adam was before he fell. Jesus, in the above scripture, went to a high mountain pinnacle and in Luke he says within a minute of time. This was moving fast. We can be sure Jesus doesn’t need Satan’s help to move anywhere. Satan was able to go fast because he had the power to fly or move by his spirit. So did the last Adam, Jesus, have the same power to move in a moment of time. I believe Adam was a anointed man and full of the power and ability of God. Jesus came to show fallen man how to dominate, rule and rain on earth. Jesus walked on water, what about Adam? Jesus changed water to wine, multiplied fish and bread. Elijah multiplied oil and bread, Elisha multiplied oil and think of all the miracles fallen man has performed. Adam had power without limits before he failed.

Acts 1:9-12

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

God in the book of acts was allowing us to see a picture of the way the first Adam could operate. He is allowing man to see the power and authority he has given him. Jesus leaves in their presence, flying away on a cloud. Then God sent two men, and says, “The same Jesus you see leaving is coming back in like manner.” What is the manner, flying on a cloud? What about the first Adam? I wonder how these two men got back to heaven where they came from? Keep in mind that Jesus said the same works that I do, you shall do also and greater works than these. We need to quit limiting our authority and dominion. Our thinking need to change, our imaginations need to come on up to God’s level.

Isaiah 60:4-12

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. 8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? 9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. 12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

Isaiah the prophet is seeing into the future concerning the body of Christ. This is at a time when men did not have cars, airplanes, jets and other types of flying equipment on earth. But he is prophesying concerning a future time to come, on earth. He is forecasting that the forces of the gentile are coming to us. The dromedaries represent the type of transportation in the future that would come to sons and daughters of God. Sheba with her gold and silver will come and bless the saints. This Queen of Sheba is very rich. God used the queen to bless Solomon. This same blessing is coming to the body of Christ. Then Isaiah asked the question, “Who are these that fly on clouds like doves?” This was before Jesus left on the cloud. This was before men had airplanes and jets. This was in a time when man’s only form of transportation was on the ground. I believe we are still working our way back to where Adam was already at in the beginning before his fall.

Even as God spoke through the prophet, he is speaking through me even now. Men, one day on this earth before the return of Jesus, will fly in ways that we have never imagine. Even as men are flying now in the air, this knowledge will increase more and more. Every man that has faith, will have this type of transportation like a cloud and a dove as a mode of transportation. It will be a redemption for fallen man. He will once again experience some of the dominion that Adam lost. Men won’t have to go to airports, they will fly like doves straight from their homes even as we drive cars now. Some men are flying from their homes even in this day. However, the day is coming says The Lord, that knowledge will increase and man’s ability to once again dominate will be seen on earth as in the days of Adam. “My hand will be heavy on my people and they shall move around like Jesus when he left the earth. Yes,” says the Lord, “they will display greater works than these. My power will be seen on my people as the world has never seen before. They will be moved to and fro by my Spirit,” says the Lord. “Even as with Phillip, Elijah, Enoch, and those that were resurrected from the grave at my resurrection,” says the Lord Jesus. “My power will be strong on my people, they will be at sign and wonder on earth. Then every man will see that my Father’s words are true when he said greater works than these shall they accomplish.”

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I personally believe that Adam’s life before he failed was so much higher than where we are now. We are still trying get back up from our fall. Flying seems to be elementary to God’s creation of species. Remember, man is the highest level of his creation. Man is made in his image and was given his power to dominate. Take a look how the believer will get away from the planet. The dead in Christ will rise first. They will be changed, get out of the graves and fly up to meet the Lord. Then the saints that are still on earth will be changed and be caught up in a second of time in midair to meet the Lord. Could it be possible that the believer in that day will have faith to fly? Could it be that in that day they are so anointed that they are not even expecting death on earth? Yes saints, our day to fly is coming. SELAH

Chapter 3

THE FALL OF MAN

Genesis 2:16-23

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

God had made him a son and named him man or Adam. In the first chapter of Genesis he gives him authority and dominion of all the earth and everything that moved. This included flying demon spirits. This earth realm belonged to man and he was without any doubt in full control. Even till this day, God won’t do anything without first talking with a man. So God gave his king on earth only one commandment, don't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He tells him everything else was his to dominate. So God had given everything else to man to use in any way he desired. All the trees in the garden were for him to dress, keep and eat. The whole earth was his to dominate in every way.

Only one tree on earth that Adam’s Father would be in charge of, he tells him, “This one you don't have access to. Don't eat of it because it is poison to you. It will bring forth death to your life as you know it.” Then before Eve came out of him, he named all of God’s creation on the planet. Then God put him to sleep and removed a rib and made another man with a womb. Then Adam said, “She came from my bone, therefore her name shall be woman. She has my bone and my flesh.” So, he gave her the name woman. Which means a female or a species of mankind with a womb. Female means she has the ability to carry a baby Adam or species of man. God had removed out of Adam the womb and made a woman from it. Then he and God had gave it to the woman we know as Eve. Their name was Adam. The word, Adam, means a human being or the species of mankind.

This woman was an extension of Adam just like the Church is the extension of Christ. Because she was part of him she had the same authority and power. Every man that would come from them would have that power and authority. While she came out of Adam he was not to have dominion over her because she was of the species of man. Everything on earth was subject to eve also. Whatever Adam could do, so could eve. They had no conflicts or disagreements, they were in perfect union with each other. This was the plan of God for his creation called man. God just wanted them to come together and multiply. This union would produce men in the image of God.

They had nothing to fight about, just peace, joy, and vacations in the Holy Ghost. God was their shield and their source for everything they desired. Whatever they desired to do or wherever they desired to go on earth, God had built in them how to do it. They were full of all good knowledge. The knowledge of evil or evil things was not in them at all. They were covered with the glory of God. I wonder how did man look, ok Just like God. While Satan probably was the best looking creation so far, this man was decked down with the glory of God. Have you ever seen you image in a mirror? Your image looks just like you. Whatever God looks like, so did Adam and Eve.

They were on a planet like the invisible planet called heaven. They hand no need for air conditions, heaters, storm shelters, policemen, prison, doctors, hospitals, lawyers or any such thing. The weather was perfect in summer and perfect in the winter. They had authority over the wind, sun, and everything that had any influence on the earth. There was no rain, for the earth itself was moist. There was no running to get out of the rain. Animals were at peace with each other. There was no killing, of any animals by man or any beast. All of Adam’s animals were kings in their kingdom. They were all smart, they could understand him and he could understand them. They all worshiped their earthly master and Lord.

Isaiah 11:1-9

1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice 'den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

Whenever I read the bible, it reminds me of how low we are as compared to Adam in the beginning before his fall. The verses above are talking about a future time on earth when Jesus returns and rules as king of the earth. It is a picture of the way it was before Adam lost his knowledge of his God out of his soul, heart, spirit and body. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb. The leopard shall lie down with the kid. This is the way the animal kingdom was before the fall of man. God had plans for a little child to lead the lions and tigers. During Adam’s time before the fall, lion ate straw with the ox. There was nothing but peace and joy on earth. What a life Adam and Eve had going on. They were in paradise every day of their life. Can you imagine, not having to brush your teeth? No bad breath? Not ever getting tired, not even knowing anything about sweat. I personally believe some of the animals could actually speak like a man before the fall. I will prove to you through the word that this is true with the verses listed below. This was life on earth before the nightmare. Then one day, everything changed on the earth.

Genesis 3:1-5

Now the serpent was more subtle 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? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 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.

The serpent was a smart beast during the days of Adam and he could stand upright and talk the language of man. Remember Also, God gave the donkey his knowledge back temporarily and he talked to the prophet. We, as believers have to change through life and imagination, and believe the word of God. This is what got man in the shape he is in now, unbelief.

Numbers 22:28-31

And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. 31 Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

All of sudden out of nowhere the devil showed up by permission of the serpent talking to Eve. Where had this devil been since he destroyed the planet called Earth? Just like a thie;, he had stolen, killed and destroyed the whole earth after God created it in Genesis 1:1 prior to the recreation of the earth. After doing his evil to the earth, he moved completely out of God’s way during the recreation. This devil stole one third of the angels from God. Now he is working on the woman to steal God’s man. Then he will try to do the same thing to the earth all over again. But what he doesn’t know, it will be devil proofed this time. Which we will talk in detail later. To give you a hint, JESUS is the devil proofing

So the first thing the Devil say to the woman is, “Has God told you not to eat of every tree of the garden.” She answered by saying, “We can eat of all the trees except the one in the midst of the garden. For he told us not to touch it at all lest we die.” Satan lies to her by saying, “God is not being earnest with you, you will not die, he know that if you eat of this tree you will be just like him. You will have knowledge of both good and evil.” This he said, “Will make you a God.” The devil had in the past lied to angels and caused them to be kicked out of heaven. He had deceived the race that was on earth before and destroyed the earth. Now, he is at it again, with plans to get man kicked out of the garden. Plus deceived man into aligning himself with him against God. So he plants this evil imigination in Eve and left the garden.

Satan knew if he could get the woman to eat of the fruit and Adam to eat of it, the whole earth would be under his authority. Lucifer knew every man would be corrupted and have the spirit of the devil verses the Holy Spirit of God. He just needed the man to take his word over God’s word. Satan knows how powerful words are in the spirit. He was God’s right hand angel and God had loaded him down with his wisdom. This devil was outright evil and determined to fight against the Almighty once again. He is too big of a coward to confront God face to face. He just works through God’s creation. Whether angels, men or serpents he will always use whoever and whatever he can to fight against my Father. This devil however, has no idea he is playing his hand just like God knew he would. God will use his own evil to destroy him once and for all.

Nothing that is going on in the garden is new to God, because he has already seen the movie, and directed its ending based on his divine purpose. God knew that for his will to be done for his children, all this had to take place.

Genesis 3:6-9

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

Satan planted the evil seed and produced exactly what he desired for Adam and Eve. When the fruit was right and it looked good to the eyes, and a tree that would make one wise and changed them into gods, she ate the fruit and gave it to her husband and he ate also. It is not clear if Adam was there when she talked to the devil. He was with her when she ate of the tree though. As soon as they ate, their eyes were open and they knew they were naked. The Glory of God was gone, they were uncovered. The Holy Ghost was no longer in their heart, soul and spirit. They were in the world naked of the presence of God. The glory that covered their bodies was departed.

Everything on earth had taken a death fall. Anything that does not have the presence of God is dead even if it is still living in physical form. Adam and his wife had died spiritually. They were now also aware of both good and evil. They were gods just as Satan advised. However they were a very low class god. They had lost their rank among creation. While before the fall, they were a little lower than God. Now they were lower than all the fallen angels. Satan was now their father. Temporarily, earth was under the authority of Satan. Satan now had the power of death in his corner to work against a defenseless man.

This devil now was exalted to the title of god of this world. He had talked the man into committing something worse than high treason against God. Adam had committed the worst sin of all time in the human race. He had been disloyal to God with his most hated enemy. Adam had joined forces with the devil against God. He gave to Satan all that God had given to him. Satan temporarily stole the whole human race away from God. Instead of humans being children of God, they were of the devil. He would be a father figure to them. They would have his unholy and unclean nature when born. All of their children would be an evil creature that God had not created.

Adam had sinned in a manner only second to the devil. This was worse than killing thousands of people. This was worse than child molestation. This was worse than rape. This was more evil than slavery, racism, and every evil thing you think of in your mind or heart. Adam was fully aware of this evil toward God. This is why right now God doesn’t deal with evil men. This is why God allows all the evil to take place on earth now. He could stop all of it, but this was a Godly hurt unto the creator.

Adam and his wife had betrayed God, the future human race, the animal kingdom and all the whole earth. His evil act would cause death to come upon every man.

Because of their betrayer, women would be raped, children would be aborted, men would become homosexuals, thieves, murderers, and all of the evil we have seen to this day. He had caused the earth to quake, the heavens to storm and put God in a position where he would not help man unless he asked by faith. Yes, Adam put all this on the line just for the chance to be a god. He was already a god, because his father was God. Satan would not tell Adam that however. Men asked the question now everyday why so much evil happens to good people? Why won’t God stop this evil?

The answer to why bad things happen to good people is real simple, Adam was a betrayer of his Father God. This high treason left God no choice but to allow man to have his way. Adam had made that choice for all his children. If he was not aware, that would be one thing, but God had told him in advance and in detail that this was a very bad choice on behalf of the race. He released funerals, diseases, poverty, trials, tribulations, storms, and all evil acts upon the earth.

Men to this day put all that evil on God. God is not responsible for any kind of evil. This was all caused because of Adam and his wife. While Satan was the instigator, man made the choice to not believe God. There is no way God would allow all this evil if Adam was not aware of what he was doing. This is a lesson for man, believe God and don't take what belongs to him. Don't even touch that which is holy. That tree was God’s and for his stake in the earth. After all, he is the creator and the owner. Men today are born again and still taking what belongs to God.

That tree was a type of a tithe that belonged to the Lord. God asked the question through the prophet Malachi, “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. But you say how have we robbed thee. In tithe and offering even this whole nation have robbed me.” When men take God’s tithe (his tree), we get the same result as it was in the beginning. The curse of death is released, and death brings poverty, sickness, disease and all kinds of evil. God doesn’t send the curse, the tithe is a shield from the curse. The original curse is still on the earth. The curse for not tithing has been canceled. In the old law of sin and death, there was a second curse released for not tithing. Malachi said, “You are cursed with a cursed.” The other curse was from eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This curse is still alive even to this day. The tithe is a principle that God promised to rebuke the curse for those that give tithes and offerings. This protection is still in affect. If man wants God’s protection he has to first:

1. Accept Jesus as savior

2. Become righteous

3. Return back to God the tithes and offering (his tree)

4. Don't touch what belongs to the Lord

Then and only then will God rebuke the DEVOURER (death with all its fruits). He will then become a shied to the man. Then he will open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you won’t have room enough to receive.

Man After His High Treason

After dying spiritually, Adam and Eve realized they are naked and afraid, so they covered their bodies with leaves and hid from God. So, God shows up in the cool of the day, and asked a very important question. Adam where are you?

Genesis 3:8-13

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Adam had dammed the whole earth by aligning himself up with Satan. Satan, Adam, and Eve robbed the Lord of his harvest on the earth. This harvest included more than the fruit from the tree. They had robbed God of all his sons, daughters, animal kingdom, and all the harvests of the earth. Adam, being wicked, did not ask for forgiveness of his error, instead he blamed his wife. His wife didn't repent; she blamed the serpent. Now God had no choice but to allow all this evil to attack the earth. Father is a God of his word, when he says death is coming, look for it to come. Now Adam is naked to sickness, disease, poverty, bad weather, death, and all that comes with both physical death and spiritual death.

God asked him, “Who told you that you were naked?” Adam was uncover and he needed help from God. His body had changed, it was weaker, prone to sun rays, disease, and it was in a dying stage. Now when the wind blows, dust was moving toward them. It was coming on their skin, coming through their mouth, nose, and pores of their skin. All forms of disease was now released into the earth. The divine covering that was on man was gone. The very animals, insects, and other organism that Adam named were now evil and in attack mode on man and each other. They were in need of a covering. They went from having God as their covering to leaves. What a fall this former king of the earth had taken.

Judgment from God

Genesis 3:14-15

And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

The serpent was a wise creature during this season. This can be hard for us to comprehend now because of the fallen stage of our mind. We men have big time trouble believing anything that God says. If he said the creature could talk, then the serpent could talk. Who knows what animals could do before the fall. Three animals we have record of that can talk are the serpent, the donkey and the parrot. The parrot still talks and the Bible documents the other two. I believe all the animals could talk and our Adam could understand the sounds. It is not hard for me to believe that many, if not all animals could talk.

God cursed the serpent by putting him on his bell. No longer would he be able to walk upright like a man. God gave him a big demotion, he would be under all the walking animals, and every beast of the field. This was a fall for that serpent. He was upright, wise and could talk on the level with man. Most creatures are in a submissive posture when walking. This serpent walked upright and could look the man directly in the eyes. The highest creature in the animal kingdom turned on God. The highest angel in the angel kingdom turned against God. Then the highest creation ever, man, turned against God. SELAH

Also, God told the serpent he would put enmity between the serpent seed and the seed of the woman. Since Satan used the serpent, God’s curse on the serpent was one with the devil. The curse is for Satan as well as for the serpent. Satan’s seed and the woman’s seed would hate each other. They would have deep rooted hatred for each other. The seed of the serpent is referring to those men born that are and always will be children of the devil. These children of the devil are against God’s people even until this day. Jesus told some of the Pharisees, “You are of your Father the devil and his work will you do.” Jesus said, “He was a murderer from the beginning.” These Children of the devil are evil without change from their root upward. Listen to a prayer prayed out of the book of psalms concerning the seed of the devil:

Psalms 109

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. 4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. 5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. 7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. 8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. 9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. 10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. 11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. 12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. 13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. 18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. 19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. 20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul. 21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. 24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. 25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. 26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy: 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it. 28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame,

and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. 30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. 31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

This was a prayer that David prayed against the seed of the devil. It takes knowledge to understand the depths of this prayer. Many people think that this prayer should not be in the Bible. Many think it should not be prayed. The reason is they don't know who it is prayed against. It is against evil men that will never accept Christ. While at the same time, is robbing, killing, destroying the seed of God. Saints, we have to fight the devil, his seed, and fallen angel with the word of God. You can see also that Jesus prayed this prayer. In verse twenty-five, David, in spirit said, “I became a reproach unto them, they looked on me and shake their heads.” The things in this psalms happened when Jesus was on earth. These are the words he used to pray his way through all hell itself. Jesus is the seed of the woman. Wicked men are the seed of the devil. However Jesus and his people bruised the head of Satan and his seed.

Woman

Genesis 3:16

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

The woman sorrow was greatly multiplied. This mean she will worry, be displeased, grieve, hurt, be vexed, toil, and be grieved. She would have distress caused by loss. Think of all the heartache mothers go through now with the loss of babies in birth, losing their son and daughters to accidents, gun violence, and war. It is not that men don't go through this, but the way it affects women is different. Women are built to have more compassion than men. Women are more apt to worry about things that men get over quickly. This is because of her DNA designed by God. It was built for the love but now it works against her. This pain would also take place at child birth. All the pain women have to put up with in their body is a result of this curse.

Then her desire would be to her husband. Meaning she would have longing desire for him. She would crave after him to fulfill her desires and this would be unattainable in full. In other words, the man would not be able to help her the way she needed help. He would need to be a total covering for her mind. Men have this same problem but the effect is different. I can remember the trouble I used to give my mother, but my dad was not even there. Think of all the women raising children by themselves.

Dealing with all of the above problems, she would have a man ruling over her. She will have to totally submit to her husband. He would be authority in her life. All she would do would be subject to the man. This man, because of his own fall, would not rule in righteousness as God originally planned. They would fuss and fight and he would be the superior in strength and authority. Think of all of the abusive husbands on the planet now. Some are married and have several women in their life. Some beat their children and posses all kinds of evil and the woman stress out over some of these actions. This sinful act caused problems for all women, even to this day.

Adam

Genesis 3:17-19

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Because Adam listened to the voice of his wife, he would pay for it in the worst way. First, the ground would be cursed for his sake. God did not curse Adam or Eve, he did curse the serpent. This ground would now be a problem for Adam. He would have to work the ground just to get the seed out of it. The wind would now blow the topsoil away. The ground would not be moist like it should be. He would have to till the ground. Thorns and thistles would grow out of the ground. They would compete with what man was growing. Therefore, man would have to cultivate, cut back, spay the unwanted weeds and other undesired species. Water and wind would remove top soil, some areas would be desert and never get any rain.

Then man would eat herbs or green plants of the ground. This would be just to keep his health up and live longer. Man even would begin to eat the animals for proteins just to satisfied the desire of his dying body. Instead of his body renewing every day, it would be headed toward death every day. Time would now began to rule over the man. He would be fighting and working in a hurry just because of time ruling his life. Before he failed he could take his time because time was under his feet as it is with God and the heavenly host. Man had fallen out of the class of those who were in eternity, above time. Thus putting himself in the zone with the devil. Time is one of Satan’s biggest enemies as well. Then God said, “Now you will sweat and work and from the dust you came and to the dust you shall return.” The one blessed word man got from God was that the woman’s seed would destroy the head of the serpent.

God Gives Man a Covering

Genesis 3:21-24

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

To help man through life God did something for man that most folks don’t understand, even to this day. Knowing King Jesus would one day come and give his blood, he killed an animal, and covered man’s body with it. This covering would protect the man from the diseases, sunrays, dust and all other attacking elements brought on by the curse. This killing of the animals would be the key and reminder of man how to survive on the planet. The animal blood would be used by man to petition God for his shield from harm until the death of the Lamb of God. The blood of the animals was being used temporarily until such time that God would come as King Jesus. King Jesus would come and give his blood causing all that believe to return to king status.

God speaks and said, “Man has become as one of us to know good and evil.” Then he drove him out of the garden of Eden and put Cherubim there to keep the way of the tree of life. Because if man had eaten from the tree of life he would live forever in a dead position. A spiritual death just like Satan and the angels who apparently had eaten from both the tree of life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The man would not been able to be saved. Those trees in the garden were all blessed trees that brought forth strength to live forever. But man was removed and blocked from going back. These trees were life giving trees.

Revelation 22:1-5

1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

This tree of life that Adam saw and the Apostle John saw was the tree that God wanted Adam to have all the time. This tree had 12 manner of fruit and yielded her fruit every month. The fruit was for the healing of the people. This was probably the same tree in the Garden of Eden. The leaves of the tree was for the healing of the nations. The fruit of the tree was for eternal life. Life in the God class for his sons and daughters. Jesus said, “I come, that you might have life and have it more abundantly.” But for now man would have to use animals blood to have a productive life on earth until Jesus would come.

The Blood Covering

Genesis 4:1-5

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

God had first killed some animals to cover Adam and Eve’s bodies. But it was more than just to cover their bodies. It would be what God would teach Adam and other men to do for around four thousand years until the lamb of God would come and shed his blood. Death had entered the world because of Adam’s sin. God was not keeping records of sin at the time. But to keep death off of men before the appointed time of death, it would take the blood of animals to please God.

When men would SACRAFICE the animal by faith, God would intervene and shield men from the evil of this curse. So he taught this to Adam and his children. He explained to them about the blood of the animals in the sacrifice. Men should be the one dying because of sin, but God helped man through the blood sacrifices.

This blood would be excepted in place of man’s blood. Death was after man because he rejected God’s word. God’s word had to come to pass, his love still was there for his fallen man. He had a plan that he had prepared before the foundation of the world. This plan would redeem every man that would receive this plan, his name is King Jesus.

Cain Rejects God’s Plan

I believed Adam had explained in detail to his family how to approach God. He had explained the blood covering system which was by faith. Abel brought to The Lord an offering by faith. Meaning he had intention from his heart to please God. He brought the firstlings of his flocks and the fat. The firstling mean he brought the firstborn of his flock. The firstborn is consider the chief of the flock. Jesus is the king, chief and first of the born again members of his body. Then he brought to God the fat of his flock. The fat means the biggest and best animals. Animals with no blind eyes, diseases or blemishes. King Jesus was a perfect blood sacrifice. His blood had the power to make us kings and priests. For man to be a king, it would take the blood of a king. For men to be in the God class it would take the blood of God. This was exactly what God desired Abel to bring. God will tell you what he wants from you if you will listen. God had respect for Abel’s offering. God had his mind on the blood of Jesus rather than the animals. So nothing less than the best animal could represent the king blood to come.

Cain brought from the fruit of the ground, an offering unto the Lord. But God did not have respect for Cain’s offering. Why? Some Bible scholars say God wanted a blood offering. This could be true. However, Cain did not bring God his first crop that he harvest. Then he did not bring God his best crop. Because if he had, God would have said it in the word.

After God did not respect his offering, Cain was very angry and it showed in his face. God told him, “If you do well, you and your offering will be accepted. If you don't do well, the sin is at your door and desires you.” The spirit of Cain is all over the world right now. People who refuse to do their best and then take it out on their brother. Every man is responsible for doing his best in life. When we do, God will respect you and promote you.

Cain had a chance to go offer unto God his best. He chose not to receive the words of God. So he listened to the words of the devil, in his heart and mind. So he goes forward and takes his brother’s life. This was the work of his evil flesh. This was the first recorded murder on earth.

God Gives Cain Mercy

After killing his brother and lying to God, The Lord gives Cain mercy. Father tells Cain that his brother’s blood is crying from the ground. Blood has a voice in the spirit. God can hear from the blood of a person. The life of the flesh is in the blood. This life is the spirit of the man. The animal spirit, like life, is in his blood. The spirit of man is his life. This living breath is the power source of the man. God blew into man’s nostrils the breath of life and he became a living soul.

God tells Cain the punishment for the death of his brother. The earth would work against Cain. When you tilled it, it would not yield all its strength. He would be a fugitive and vagabond on the earth. Cain said, “This is greater than I can stand and men will seek my life.” So God put a mark on him and said, “If any man slay him, vengeance shall be sevenfold.”

The Blood Speaks

The key thing to get out of this truth is that blood can talk. The blood of Abel was so powerful that the earth opened her mouth and received. After receiving it, the earth on her own decided not to give her strength to Cain’s seed. Everything that is created by God has his divine judgment in it. That's why the word says what a man plant that shall he reap.

God doesn’t have to judge man when he has done wrong. The earth, wind, air, animals, men, angels and everything that has life will judge. This works the same when animals kill. That's why when you kill a man today, God doesn’t have to judge you, men will. It is so important to be aware of these principals. When God finished on day six, he is still resting.

From this time on men began to kill, rape, rob, and do other wicked things. Once evil, blood of men, and sin get in the atmosphere, death comes on the scene. God does not bring forth death, sin brings forth death. Think of all the evil that was back then and all of the evil that is now on earth.

No Laws on Earth Before Moses

There were no laws from God on earth at this time. Man knew in his heart what was right and wrong. Men were sinning or doing wrong but God will not impute sin where there is no law. Impute is referring to keeping a record of your sins. If I am going 130 miles per hour on the highway and lose control and kill someone and there is no law, I cannot be held accountable for my wrong. But because of my foolishness I have taken somebody’s life. While God will not hold that against me, the blood of that person will still cry out to the earth, the atmosphere, to friends and family members.

All of these forces and people will begin to come after that person. Remember the earth would not yield her strength to Cain. The wind and the moisture at that time was involved in his judgment. In the case of family members and friends, they all would be angry when they found out that person was drunk and driving 130 miles per hour when they killed their loved one. So now death is coming at that person without a law.

During the time of Cain, when there were no laws, if a father found out that a grown man raped his 13 year old daughter, what do you think he would do? See death comes because of sin and not because you brake laws. This is a preordained law in every living thing that God has created.

Romans 5:12-14

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

It was by Adam’s transgression that caused death to enter the earth. In Adam’s case there was a command or law from God. The day you eat of the tree you shall surely die. After God made that law, it had to be carried out on earth. God surely had explained to him what death meant. So death came because of what one man had done.

Death is a spirit that separates living things from the life of God. There are two types of death: physical death and spiritual death. Physical death is when the life, breath or spirit comes out of a body. Whether men’s bodies or creature’s. Spiritual death is when a living spirit (breath of life) and the soul is separated from God.

The day Adam ate of the fruit, he died in his spirit. Because God’s spirit was no longer in him. That is spiritual death. Satan and all fallen angels are in spiritual death forever. Man has a chance to be redeemed if he eats from the bread of life, Jesus.

All men’s spirit was dead because of the sin of Adam. Their blood was now loaded with death. The blood being pumped from the heart was now pumping death to every part of the body. Cells where dying in men’s bodies. Evil and thoughts of death were being pumped into the brain. Evil, fear, and death were entering the soul of every man on planet Earth.

The life of the flesh is in the blood. This means, the spirit of man lives in his blood. Man is a spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body. This dead spirit was now transferred to every baby that comes out of the womb even to this day. Death entered man because of Adam’s sin. While Adam’s body would live over nine hundred years it surely died, as God said.

Death’s Reign on Earth

Without laws from God or man, death can take men out before the law of Moses. We need to see how the process works, because we still have to deal with death. After a few hundred years after Adam, death began to kill in several ways. Once it was in the bloodstream men began to die. Death contains cancer, AIDS, viruses, and all other type of diseases. Death brings fear, worry, torment, pain, headaches, high blood pressure and every evil thing imaginable. Death began to attack man through the earth, plants, animals, wind, and the environment.

Thoughts of death took over and imaginations of men and began to fill their hearts and minds. The very place God’s spirit use to dwell was taken over by Satan and death. So now man had the nature of the devil. He is a thief and was a murderer from the beginning. God’s wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, might, respect and the Spirit of the Lord was taken from man. Men now became more violent and began killing each other.

Few Men Sacrafice to God

The only one that could stop death, Satan, and evil was God. The only way to get to God was by faith through the shed blood of an animal. This is what Adam and Abel had done successfully. Man’s blood was not pure or innocent, because of this, he needed an offering to approach God for help. So innocent animal life had to be taken and offered to God. When the blood was offered to God, he would use the blood of the animals to cover man’s sin and then and only then would hear man’s request.

God hears not a sinner’s petition, prayer or request. While he cares about the problems of men, he will not allow a sinner to approach him unless they have faith. Back then if you had faith, you knew how to come to him. Because faith comes by hearing and hearing is from God. Abel received instructions from God and brought the offering that pleased God. Cain did not present his offering in faith. A Faith offering comes with instruction from God.

The Power of Innocent Blood

Back then, blood was the only way to approach God and it is the only way to approach God today. Then, it was by an animal’s death for men’s atonement. Now Christ has offered his blood on our behalf, forever. We come to God by a new and living way, the blood of King Jesus. The king washed us with his own blood changing us unto righteous kings and priests. Remember the blood of King Jesus is the blood of God. God’s blood is the new and living way to God. Jesus, like Adam, was the head or king of this new race of born again kings. As with Adam’s blood, all were sinners, with the blood of King Jesus all would be righteous kings. This was God’s purpose for man all the time, to make him a king like his heavenly Father.

Men stopped approaching God for help and their hearts were evil. With very few men seeking God, death began to take over the planet. Even after Adam’s death, men were sinning and death was killing without laws.

Genesis 4:25-26

And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. 26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.

Men Began to Call Upon the Lord

After the death of Abel, God gave Eve another son by the name of Seth. So he gives her another son to substitute for Abel. Seth’s name means, put or substitute in place of Abel. At this time, men began to call upon the Lord. Men began to offer sacrifices to God and petition God for his help. Death, Satan and evil were too strong for fallen man by himself. He needed whom and what he had lost. He had lost God’s wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Therefore, man had no reverence for God. When men came to him with blood by faith, God would hear their prayer and answer their request. Men had found a way to live the good life on earth after the fall. While men were dying, many were living long lives. They were living to be seven, eight, and nine hundred years old. I would say that was the good life.

It was through the line of Seth that God would save the human race from death. God always uses the seed that he gives us to save us. This line of people would turn out to be known for worshiping and pleasing God. This line would produce many well-known men of faith. Before the flood, Seth’s line would include, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch (who was raptured from earth), Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah (who helped God save his man). He would have three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. It would be from this family of Noah’s that all men came from after the flood.

Other Evil Spirits Deceive Men Again

As men began to call on God through the blood system, up jumps some more evil from aliens not from the earth. Yes I said it, aliens not from earth. Just as an alien by the name of Satan had brought death on man, so would these evil spirits. The word, aliens, refers to beings or creatures from outer space. One who’s residence is not on planet Earth. The church needs to wake up and catch up with the world. The children of the world are wiser than the children of the kingdom. There are demon spirits or “aliens” on earth now. We can't see them unless God opens our eyes, but they are around us now.

Genesis 6:1-2

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

The three primary views on the identity of the sons of God are 1) they were fallen angels, 2) they were powerful human rulers, or 3) they were godly descendants of Seth intermarrying with wicked descendants of Cain. Giving weight to the first theory is the fact that in the Old Testament the phrase “sons of God” always refers to angels (Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7). A potential problem with this is in Matthew 22:30, which indicates that angels do not marry. The Bible gives us no reason to believe that angels have a gender or are able to reproduce. The other two views do not present this problem.

The weakness of views 2) and 3) is that ordinary human males marrying ordinary human females does not account for why the offspring were “giants” or “heroes of old, men of renown.” Further, why would God decide to bring the flood on the earth (Genesis 6:5-7) when God had never forbade powerful human males or descendants of Seth to marry ordinary human females or descendants of Cain? The oncoming judgment of Genesis 6:5-7 is linked to what took place in Genesis 6:1-4. Only the obscene, perverse marriage of fallen angels with human females would seem to justify such a harsh judgment.

As previously noted, the weakness of the first view is that Matthew 22:30 declares, “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.” However, the text does not say “angels are not able to marry.” Rather, it indicates only that angels do not marry. Second, Matthew 22:30 is referring to the “angels in heaven.” It is not referring to fallen angels, who do not care about God’s created order and actively seek ways to disrupt God’s plan. The fact that God’s holy angels do not marry or engage in sexual relations does not mean the same is true of Satan and his demons.

View 1) is the most likely position. Yes, it is an interesting “contradiction” to say that angels are sexless and then to say that the “sons of God” were fallen angels who procreated with human females. However, while angels are spiritual beings (Hebrews 1:14), they can appear in human, physical form (Mark 16:5). The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to have sex with the two angels who were with Lot (Genesis 19:1-5). It is plausible that angels are capable of taking on human form, even to the point of replicating human sexuality and possibly even reproduction. Why do the fallen angels not do this more often? It seems that God imprisoned the fallen angels who committed this evil sin, so that the other fallen angels would not do the same (as described in Jude 6). Earlier Hebrew interpreters and apocryphal and pseudopigraphal writings are unanimous in holding to the view that fallen angels are the “sons of God” mentioned in Genesis 6:1-4. This by no means closes the debate. However, the view that Genesis 6:1-4 involves fallen angels mating with human females has a strong contextual, grammatical, and historical basis.

Yes I believe these were fallen angels that began to mate with the daughters of men. This evil union produced evil giants. While men were probably wiser because of this evil, there hearts were like their father’s, these evil devils. These evil spirits were as evil or more evil than the demons still on earth.

The problems on earth had changed drastically. Not only were their fallen men and demons, but because this forbidden relationship, there was a cross species of humans on earth. They are referred to as men of renown. These be the children of this wicked cross breed.

They are known as Nephilim (“fallen ones, giants”) were the offspring of sexual relationships between the sons of God and daughters of men in Genesis 6:1-4. There is much debate as to the identity of the “sons of God.” It is our contention that the “sons of God” were fallen angels (demons) who mated with human females and/or possessed human males and then mated with human females. These unions resulted in offspring, the Nephilim, that were “heroes of old, men of renown” (Genesis 6:4).

Why would the demons do such a thing? The Bible does not specifically give us the answer. The demons are evil, twisted beings—so nothing they do should surprise us. As to a distinct motivation, the best speculation is that the demons were attempting to pollute the human blood line in order to prevent the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. God had promised that a Messiah would come from the line of Eve (Genesis 3:15) who would crush the head of the serpent, Satan. So, the demons were possibly attempting to prevent this by polluting the human bloodline, making it impossible for a sinless Messiah to one day be born. Again, this is not a specifically biblical answer, but it is plausible and not in contradiction to anything the Bible teaches.

What were the Nephilim? According to Hebraic and other legends (the Book of Enoch and other non-biblical writings), they were a race of giants and super-heroes who did acts of great evil. Their great size and power likely came from the mixture of demonic “DNA” with human genetics. All that the Bible directly says about them is that they were “heroes of old, men of renown” (Genesis 6:4). The Nephilim were not aliens, they were literal, physical beings produced from the union of the sons of God and daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-4).

What happened to the Nephilim? The Nephilim were one of the primary reasons for the great flood in Noah's time. Immediately after the Nephilim are mentioned, God's Word tells us this: “The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, ‘I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them’” (Genesis 6:5-7). So, God proceeded to flood the entire earth, killing everyone and everything (including the Nephilim) other than Noah and his family and the animals on the ark (Genesis 6:11-22).

Were there Nephilim after the flood? Genesis 6:4 tells us, “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days — and also afterward.” It seems that the demons repeated their sin sometime after the flood as well. However, it likely took place to a much lesser extent than it did prior to the flood. When the Israelites spied out the land of Canaan, they reported back to Moses: “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them” (Numbers 13:33). Now, this passage does not specifically say that the Nephilim were genuinely there, only that the spies thought they saw the Nephilim. It is more likely that the spies witnessed very large people in Canaan and mistakenly believed them to be the Nephilim. Or, it is possible that after the flood the demons again mated with human females, producing more Nephilim. Whatever the case, these “giants” were destroyed by the Israelites during their invasion of Canaan (Joshua 11:21-22) and later in their history (Deuteronomy 3:11; 1 Samuel 17).

What prevents the demons from producing more Nephilim today? It seems that God put an end to demons mating with humans by placing all the demons who committed such an act in the Abyss. Jude verse 6 tells us, “And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.” Obviously, not all of the demons are in “prison” today, so there must have been a group of demons who committed further grievous sin beyond the original fall. Presumably, the demons who mated with human females are the ones who are “bound with everlasting chains.” This would prevent any more demons from attempting such an act.

After this evil invasion on mankind, men’s thoughts, and imaginations were only evil. Theses spirit began to teach demonic things like witchcraft, drug use, and other demonic activities. So God had one family left that would listen to him and he allowed a flood to come and destroy man off the face of the earth. Instead of man offering to God they were probably taught how to sacrifice to devils.

God warned the only family that would listen to him about a flood that was coming. Just because the flood came doesn’t necessarily mean God brought the flood. Remember in the old covenant it is written in permissive language. Meaning, when it says God caused, it means God allowed evil things to happen. Death was allowed as a judgment by God because of Adam’s sin. Man’s sin had reached all the way up into the natural heavens. Therefore the rain knew what to do, because the heavens have the word in them.

The Flood

Genesis 6:13-15

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

God came to Noah as a savior for mankind. He said the end of all flesh is to come before him. Indicating to Noah that man’s evil was so great that it reached the level set before the foundation of the word. This is a preordained judgment for evil. Death not only works against man it eliminates evil as well. When evil men are destroyed death is working for man.

Think about the Hitlers, Saddam Husseins, Pharaohs of Moses’s day, serial killers, and other evil men that death has wiped out. So death is good and bad. Death to a bad disease is good. Death to Satan, fallen angels, and evil wicked men is all good. So when God allows death on evil things it a good thing.

That's why, in the bible, when God allowed evil men to be killed, whether by angels, men, beast or any other means, he is still allowing it for the interest of mankind. Those giants in the promised land were evil. All those enemies that Joshua killed were evil and in the way of man’s salvation. The devil in Egypt ordered all of Jacob’s baby boys to be killed. Those devils or men were trying to cut off the family link to our Savior.

REVIEW NOTES

Chapter 4

MEN BEGAN TO APPLY THE BLOOD UNTIL JESUS

After the flood, Noah and his family landed on mount Ararat. Then God made a covenant with Noah, mankind and the animal kingdom. He set the rainbow as a token that he would not allow the waters to wipe away every man and animal of the earth again. Because all that was on the earth was destroyed, except those on the ark.

With this in mind the first thing Noah would do is build an altar for the Lord. Noah’s wisdom of the blood to petition God was of uttermost importance for survival on the earth. He knew death was still traveling on the earth. Noah was anointed to know that only God could save his family.

Genesis 8:20-22

And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

The key thing to get out of this is that the Lord smelled a sweet savor. The sweet savor that came from the blood of the burnt offering was a faith offering substitute until the blood of Jesus would be given. The blood of Jesus is the blood of God. It is holy, sweet, powerful, atoning, redeeming, saving and every good thing imaginable. This burnt offering before the law would be the first offering of many that God would allow men to temporarily approach him for redemption, atonement and for help in any area of their lives.

Then after this burnt offering , God was pleased for the season waiting on the blood of the new king of the human race King Jesus. Saints, the blood is the key for man praying to God. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. God will not, does not hear a sinner’s prayer. Even today the only way for man to get to God is through the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

Then God says something very interesting and profound. One, he would not curse the ground anymore because man’s heart is evil from his youth. Two, while the earth remains, there would be seed time, harvest and seasons. The seed time and harvest would always be there for two reason, one, for God to give man a harvest and two, for man to be in position to give back to God as Noah demonstarted.

While the sacrifice system would be removed forever, men will still be able to receive from God and give to God by faith. God said through Isaiah, “I will give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.” Whatever man’s problems were, God had a system that would help him if he would sow. Even till this day men are sowing and reaping. Those who reverence God are still giving tithes and offerings of thanksgiving to God. This token of giving now points back to the blood of Jesus. While our giving has nothing to do with our salvation, it has everything to do with our prayers being answered for protection from evil and our harvest from the kingdom.

God Makes a Blood Covenant with Abraham

What do we mean by a blood covenant? This term, used widely in our world and found in every culture that has ever been discovered, has lost most of its significance in today's society, especially here in America. Most Christians have no real understanding of the power of the blood agreement.

Even though the concept is found in every society of mankind from the earliest of times to the present, we do not understand its meaning as this most ancient of all rites has come down to us throughout history. What the blood covenant meant to the earliest of peoples, it still have the same power today. The force it carried in antiquity is the same today as it was in Abraham’s time. But, because we in America do not understand the meaning behind the blood covenant, we have failed to understand its true meaning to us today. Christians, particularly, are not able to perceive their rights and obligations under a blood covenant.

The importance of understanding the blood covenant is found in the fact that the basis of believers is rooted in a blood covenant. The blood covenant between God and Abraham, the foundation for the relationship of God to His chosen people, appears in the New Testament as a new covenant, this time between God and those who choose to serve Him in Christ. In the Old Testament, the people were the chosen of God, those whom He had chosen to represent Him to the world. In the New Testament the covenant people are the ones who choose God, and those that accepted him who represent Christ to a dying world. This new covenant is between God and Jesus (the seed) whereas the old covenant was between God and Abraham. In each case, the meaning of the blood covenant remains constant. What it meant to David in the Old Testament it means to us in the New Testament.

So, what is the basic meaning of a covenant of blood. Simply put, it means that two covenant individuals share such a close relationship with each other that all they have or possess in this life is available to each upon demand. For example, say that Moses and Michael have entered into a blood covenant with each other. What belongs to Moses also belongs to Michael and vice versa. Say Moses has debt come due that he can't pay, then Michael is obligated to help Moses because they are in that type of covenant relationship. It is as close or closer than a husband and wife covenant. Even their names of Moses and Michael are tied together like husband and wife. Such was the case with God and Abram. His name was changed to take on God name, Abraham.

For a blood covenant individual to refuse to meet the needs of his covenant partner means that he has broken the blood covenant between them and this means that he will die a most horrible death as well as the rest of his family, usually at the hand of the individual he so severely mistreated. You can understand then, the motive that causes these two blood covenant individuals to share all they possess with each other whenever called upon. To refuse was a certain death sentence as well as probable death to one’s family. Perhaps now the times in the Old Testament where God seemed to wipe out His chosen can be better understood. He always said, before the drastic action took place, that they had broken the covenant with Him. But also God always left a remnant behind so He could reestablish His covenant with them. A covenant is serious business where God is concerned.

This blood covenant went as far back as the Garden of Eden and the fall of man. In Genesis 3:21, it says, "Unto Adam also and to His wife did the Lord God make coats of skin, and clothed them." Eve was the first woman to wear a fur coat and in the heat of the Middle East as she was evicted from her birth home! But what does this have to do with the blood covenant of the Bible?

Adam, and Eve, had sinned against God. He could not look on that sin which meant that He would have to forsake His creation, Man. God was unwilling to turn His back on His creation, so He covered their sin with blood. Now, He would not have to look at their sin, for all He would see was the innocent blood that covered this sin. Because the lamb or animal had not sinned against God. This is the basis for all the Old Testament sacrifices of blood, which pointed to the ultimate sacrifice, the shedding of the innocent blood of the lamb of God.

But where in this chapter of Genesis does it mention the shedding of blood to cover their sin? Well, you would have to kill the beast that surrendered their skin before you skinned them, both acts resulting in the shedding of innocent blood. But how do you get to the point that this blood was used by God to cover the sins of Adam and Eve? In the very next chapter in Genesis, Chapter 4 and you immediately find Cain and Abel making an offering to God. He was pleased with Abel's offering; the first born of his flock for it was an offering that involved the shedding of blood, the covering for his sins. However, God did not accept Cain's offering, for no shedding of blood was performed to cover Cain's sin.

So how did Cain and Abel learn about the shedding of blood to cover their sins? Their parents told them, probably recounting how their mother came into possession of her prized fur coat. Now we have, in the Genesis account, the establishment of the fact that the shedding of innocent blood would cover over the sins of the people so that God could continue to help keep them safe. From this concept sprang the genesis for the blood covenant where God cut the covenant with Abraham. Since God is a spirit and not flesh and blood, there has to be a substitutionary contributor to provide the blood necessary for the blood covenant. God's contributors were a 3-year-old heifer, a 3-year-old female goat, a 3-year-old ram, a turtledove and a young pigeon (Genesis 15:9). Abraham's blood contribution was to be his foreskin, which bleeds profusely when it is cut, especially in an adult male. Genesis 17:11 and following gives the particulars of Abraham's contribution to the blood covenant cut between him and God Almighty. This was to be an everlasting covenant between man, represented by Abraham, and God, a never-ending compact between two covenant partners for all time (Genesis 17:7).

Genesis 17:5-8

Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

If this were to be an everlasting covenant between God and man, what role would Jesus play in the new covenant of the New Testament? Why was it necessary for Him to shed His blood on the cross, since an everlasting covenant was established between God and Abraham? The problem was that the weak link in the old covenant was man, who continually broke the covenant between him and God, sometimes unintentionally, sometimes deliberately and with malice. Study the lives of the Old Testament prophets, especially Isaiah, Malachi and Ezekiel to gain a better understanding of the treachery that the false prophets of Israel put on God’s people. However, if the people wanted to actually follow God, they could, thus the blame for Israel’s downfall was shared by all, prophet and people alike.

It was obvious that man, try as he might, was a poor choice for a blood covenant partner, since he repeatedly violated the covenant and repeatedly paid the price for his folly. A man had to be found who would not repeatedly break the covenant by disobedience to his covenant partner, Almighty God. And right here is where Jesus fits in, as He was both son of God and son of man. By His very nature, He would not disobey or dishonor His covenant partner, God, the Father. Thus, the new blood covenant, based on the saving work of Jesus replaced a covenant that was based on Abraham, which was continually violated by man. Thus the new covenant, based on Jesus, became a better blood covenant than the old covenant, which was based on Abraham’s relation to God.

The Law of Moses and the Tabernacle

Abraham, son Isaac, and Jacob walked in the covenant that God had made with Abraham. After sometime had passed, Israel and Egypt went away from the covenant. Then after the days of Joseph, there arose another Pharaoh that despised God’s covenant people. The blood covenant was thought little of by Israel, every man had his own business, land and other things going. And just like the flood, evil came on them and flooded them with poverty and finally slavery. Calling on God without the blood is in vain. He hears not a sinner’s prayer. My people, black Americans have gone through and are going through this same torment even unto today. Because they don't know how to apply the blood of Jesus. I will discuss this in detail in the next chapter.

Long ago in Palestine, two disciples of Jesus were walking along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). A stranger joined them. He asked them about the things they had been through, and they began to explain. They were heartbroken because the master and friend in whom they had put all their hopes was dead. This master and friend was Jesus. But the stranger said some strange things to comfort them. Instead of sympathizing, he said, “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!” The disciples’ real problem was not with a dead master but with themselves. They did not understand the Old Testament. And so the stranger helped them to understand. “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself” (Luke 24:27). The stranger, of course, was Jesus Christ, the master teacher of the Old Testament. What did Jesus tell those two disciples? We do not know the details. But we do know the heart of his teaching: “Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” (Luke 24:26).

Even before Jesus was finished, and even before he revealed who he was, a remarkable transformation began to take place in the hearts of the disciples. They said, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked to us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” The Old Testament Scriptures began to open up to them, and they were awed, amazed, and overwhelmed all at once.

Later on Jesus appeared to a larger group of his disciples. He continued teaching along the same line:

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” (Luke 24:45-49)

Christ enabled the disciples to understand not merely the implications of a few passages of the Old Testament, but “the Scriptures”–the whole Old Testament. What do these Scriptures really say? Christ introduces his explanation with the words, “This is what is written.” That is, he promises to give them the substance and heart of what is written in the Old Testament. What he says next contains his answer: “The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”

The whole Old Testament finds its focus in Jesus Christ, his death, and his resurrection. The Apostle Paul says the same thing in different words: “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are `Yes’ in Christ. And so through him the `Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God” (2 Cor. 1:20). “These things [in the Old Testament] happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come” (1 Cor. 10:11). Jesus says, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished” (Matt. 5:17-18).

A great heritage awaits us in the Old Testament. But how do we unlock it? Jesus himself is the key that unlocks the blessing of the Old Testament. Let us see how.

First of all, Christ is the all-glorious Lord, the only Son of the Father, who from all eternity beholds the Father face to face, who is with God and who is God (John 1:1). Every word of the Old Testament is the word of God himself (2 Tim. 3:16-17), and God is the Trinitarian God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Thus all of the Old Testament is Christ’s word to us, as well as God the Father’s word to us.

Second, the Old Testament teaches us about Christ. Such is one main implication of the story in Luke 24. Christ is the focus of the message of the Old Testament. He is the one to whom it points forward, about whom it speaks, and whom it prefigures in symbols.

Third, Christ not only instructs us but establishes communion with us through his word. We abide in Christ as his word abides in us (John 15:7). As the Holy Spirit works in our hearts, we find that we are meeting Christ and he talks to us very personally through the Bible, including the Old Testament.

Fourth, Christ changes us and transforms us through his word. As we meet with Christ and experience his glory, we are transformed into his image. The Bible says that we start out with a lack of understanding of the Old Testament, due to hard hearts (Luke 24:25; 2 Cor. 4:4). This lack is like a veil over our hearts keeping us from seeing it correctly (2 Cor. 3:14-15). When we turn to the Lord, the Holy Spirit works in us and the veil over our hearts is removed (2 Cor. 3:16-17). Then we see the true glory of Christ. “And we, who with unveiled faces, all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Cor. 3:18).

Fifth, as our hearts are changed we begin to respond to Christ in adoration, thankfulness, and obedience. Christ is our Lord, our master, and that means that we must obey him. But Christ is also our beloved, and that means that we come to love to please him and obey him (John 14:15, 23).

Our response ought not to be a reluctant, grumbling obedience, but joyful, enthusiastic obedience. And so it will be more and more, if we belong to him and have fellowship with him, because Christ writes his own law on our hearts (2 Cor. 3:3, 6; Heb. 10:16).

Thus when we read the Old Testament we should pray that Christ will both enlighten us and transform us. Because the Old Testament as well as the New is Christ’s word, we should believe what God teaches there, obey what he commands, and give thanks for the blessings and communion that he gives. Above all, we should endeavor to search out how the Old Testament speaks of Christ.

We are now members of his body, flesh and his bones. The blood of Jesus has made us one with the word of God. Therefore we are the word of God in Christ.

We need to keep in mind two final key elements: humility and love. We are beset by sin and our understanding will be imperfect as long as we are in this life (1 Cor. 13:12). We must be humble enough not to overestimate our abilities. We must realize that God’s thoughts are above our thoughts (Isa. 55:9), and that we will never come to the bottom of their unsearchable depths (Rom. 11:33-36). In Christ “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:3). We should come to Christ for all enlightenment. But when we do so, we also acknowledge “how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ” (Eph. 3:18). Paul prays for us “to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:19). Truly Christ’s love surpasses knowledge, and we adore him in awe rather than come to a complete mastery of what we study.

Because of our limitations we must also be deeply grateful for insights that God provides through other human beings who study the Bible. When we differ with others in our understanding of Scripture, we must be willing to defend its precious central truths, Scripture, we must be willing to defend its precious central truths, 16). We may not always be right, and even when we are right, we may have something to learn from other people who have seen some other aspect of the infinite depth of God’s truth.

In particular, we must be ready to learn something from the Israelites of long ago. God did not begin to exercise his wisdom or care with us today. He started long ago, even at creation. Through many generations he dealt patiently with people in circumstances very different from ours, and he proved himself faithful. Again and again he spoke to them about Christ in symbols and shadows that were appropriate to them and their circumstances rather than immediately to our circumstances. That is why the Old Testament is so remarkably unlike the New Testament in some ways. Yet because the same God and the same Christ are proclaimed in both, they are also remarkably alike in their overall thrust. The Bible is one book with two different covenant blessings.

If we have humility about ourselves and enough love to look beyond ourselves to other people’s situations, we can begin to appreciate how God dealt with the Israelites in the Old Testament, and how things looked from their point of view. Then we gain understanding of what God really said in the Old Testament, as opposed to ideas that we might fancifully impose on the Old Testament out of our own imaginations.

Thus we have a threefold task. First, we must try to understand the law of Moses on its own terms, within its own historical environment. God intended it to be heard and understood by Israelites who had recently been redeemed from Egypt. Second, we must try to understand how the New Testament completes God’s story and God’s word that he began to speak in the Old Testament. Third, we must obey and apply God’s word to ourselves and our own circumstances. Often biblical scholars stop with the first step. But it is legitimate to read the first part of the story again in the light of the end. By doing so we may understand more clearly how the beginning already introduced the teachings and the tensions that are completed and resolved at the end. Jesus Christ himself is the center of New Testament revelation. Since the New Testament completes the story begun in the Old, Christ is also the center about which the Old Testament begins to speak in its preliminary way, and to which the Old Testament points forward. When we see ourselves in Christ, we can see clearly how God use the old covenant to blend the believer with Christ.

God put us in Christ and saved us before the foundation of the world is the spirit. While every man must accept Christ as Lord, the works were finished before the foundation of the word. We just accept the finished work of God. Before we were born, the lamb was slain twice, once in the spirit and once on earth. God knew how evil we would be, but yet he called, justified, and predestined the saints to be conformed to his image.

In addition, it is spiritually vital for us to obey and apply God’s word. Jesus Christ is still our Lord today, and we acknowledge him as Lord not only by receiving his blessings with thanksgiving but by wholeheartedly obeying him.

So let us take a journey, back, back, in time and space to the Near East, to the days when Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt and taught them in the wilderness. These people were like all people in their hearts, but some of their experiences were very different from our own. They lived in tents. They herded cattle and sheep. They lived in the open air a lot. The sun, the moon, the stars, the clouds, the trees, and the land were their companions. Above all, they had experienced a miraculous visit from God himself, who had brought them out of miserable bondage and slavery in Egypt through their deliverer, Moses. Let us go back and hear what God said to them.

The Old Testament tabernacle is full of meaning because it is a symbol of the Messiah and his salvation. The Book of Hebrews gives much instruction concerning the tabernacle. This book will be discussed in detail later. But only the high priest entered the inner room [of the tabernacle], and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing. This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings–external regulations applying until the time of the new order.

When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! (Heb. 9:7-14)

The earthly tabernacle was a copy or a shadow of the true dwelling place of God in heaven (Heb. 8:5; 9:24). It showed what God was like and what was needed to deal with sin. In this way it symbolized what the Messiah was to do for our salvation. We may say that it “foreshadowed” the Messiah and his work. It was like a shadow of the Messiah cast backward in time into the Old Testament period. The shadow was always inferior to the reality. The earthly tabernacle was made of earthly things, and could never equal the splendor or holiness of God in heaven. The earthly sacrifices of bulls and goats could never equal the blood of Christ, who cleansed us from sin forever. The shadow was not itself the reality, but a pointer to Christ who was the reality.

Yet the shadow was also like the reality. And the shadow even brought the reality to bear on people in the Old Testament. As they looked ahead through the shadows, longing for something better, they took hold on the promises of God that he would send the Messiah. The promises were given not only verbally but symbolically, through the very organization of the tabernacle and its sacrifices. In pictorial form God was saying, as it were, Look at my provisions for you. This is how I redeem you and bring you to my presence. But look again, and you will see that it is all an earthly symbol of something better. Do not rely on it as if it were the end. Trust me to save you fully when I fully accomplish my plans.

Israelites had genuine communion with God when they responded to what he was saying in the tabernacle. They trusted in the Messiah, without knowing all the details of how fulfillment would finally come. And so they were saved, and they received forgiveness, even before the Messiah came. The animal sacrifices in themselves did not bring forgiveness (Heb. 10:1-4), but Christ did as he met with them through the symbolism of the sacrifices. It was like Christ himself was in the sacrifice except it was just a shadow.

What did Israelites see when they looked at the tabernacle so long ago? They saw a tent with two inner rooms and a yard outside. In the yard was the Israelite equivalent of a stove or a pit, namely a place where meat could be roasted on a fire.

A tent means very little to us, but Israelites knew all about tents because they were living in tents themselves. Then God told them to make a tent for himself, a tent where God himself would dwell and meet with them (Exod. 25:8, 22). His tent had rooms and a yard and a fireplace like their own. Yet it was also unlike their own. It was majestic, covered with gold and blue. It was beautiful, because of the symmetry of its dimensions and the artistry of its construction. Do you see? God was saying that he was majestic and beautiful. But he would not simply remain in heaven and let Israel go its way. He would come right down among them.

They were living in tents. He too would be in a tent, side by side with their own tents. They were going to the promised land. He too would travel to the promised land, as his tent was packed up by the Levites and moved to the next encampment. The special cloud of fire symbolizing God’s presence was a more intensive, miraculous form of the same reality. God would be among them, right with them, “Immanuel” (see Matt. 1:23). A bright cloud of glory symbolizing God’s presence accompanied the Israelites and glory symbolizing God’s presence accompanied the Israelites and 38; Num. 9:15-23).

God had plans for the temple, Church and heavenly house known as the body of Christ. This temple would be built by Jesus rather than by man. Its members would be gods from Almighty God. They would be men changed into the God class through the blood or life of Jesus. God would give these men his eternal life. They would now be known to his creation as God’s body forever, the house of God. They would be ruling, anointed, full of power and full of God in Christ Jesus. What a house Jesus would build for God’s habitations.

The theme that God dwells with his people was fulfilled with the coming of Jesus Christ. In fact, the tabernacle foreshadowed the fact that Christ would become incarnate and dwell among us. “The Word became flesh and lived for a while [tabernacle] among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Christ’s glory superseded the bright cloud of glory. Now Christ sends his Holy Spirit like a cloud of fire to make his church and his people into a tabernacle of God (Acts 2:2-4; 1 Cor. 3:10-17; 6:19).

The tabernacle expresses another side to the character of God, namely that he is holy and inaccessible. The altar, several coverings, and two sets of curtains bar the way into his presence. No one can enter into the inner room, the most holy place, except the high priest, and even then only once a year in a special ceremony, where he is protected from his sin and the accusation of the law by the blood that he brings in and sprinkles on the mercy seat (Lev. 16). Death is threatened to transgressors of God’s holiness (Exod. 19:12-13, 21-25). Even the priests may suffer death if they do not honor God (Num. 10:1-2; Lev. 22:9; 16:2; Exod. 30:21). They are especially in danger of death as they approach the inner rooms of the tabernacle. The high priest must take special care not even to see the atonement cover when he performs his actions in the most holy place (Lev. 16:13).

By these means, the Lord shows the preciousness of the love between the Father and the Son. The tabernacle symbolism points to Christ. Defilement of this symbolism constitutes an attack on Christ, and so rouses God’s indignation in intense form. The same truths also embody a lesson concerning Christ’s sacrificial death. God’s holiness is so great that faults against him deserve death. Christ himself was perfectly holy. But when he bore our sins and “became sin for us” (2 Cor. 5:21), the Father had to put him to death. To this death he consented willingly, and went like a sheep to slaughter, because of his love for us and his hatred of sin’s rule over us (1 Pet. 2:24; John 10:18).

Christ had to die.

There was no other way by which we might enter into the true tabernacle in heaven and enjoy the blessing of God’s presence forever. But now, because Christ has died, the animal sacrifices are ended and we have access to God with freedom (Rom. 5:1-2). The veil barring the way to God’s presence is taken away, or rather fulfilled in the body of Christ. Christ does not bar us out, as the veil did, but provides the way through his blood “We have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the veil, that is, his body” (Heb. 10:19-20). The veil has become the gate into the security of the sheepfold (John 10:7-9).

For those outside of Christ, the death penalty for violations of God’s holiness says something else. When Christ returns to judge the world, God’s holiness will appear in intense form. Just as at Mount Sinai the Mount was covered with the glory of God’s holiness, so at the Second Coming the world as a whole will be covered with his glory (2 Thess. 1:7-10). The wicked must experience eternal death, because they are violators of the holiness of Christ. God’s love for Christ also implies his hatred for Christ’s enemies and his zeal to vindicate Christ’s honor. “Those who honor me I will honor” (1 Sam. 2:30) is true also at the last day. When Christ receives the full honor due to him (Phil. 2:10-11), all rebellion is utterly crushed.

The Temple

What happened to the tabernacle? After the years in the wilderness, the Israelites entered the promised land and settled down. Instead of living in tents, they built houses for themselves. Fittingly, king Solomon was commissioned by God to build a permanent house for God, the temple, which replaced the mobile tent-like tabernacle. The temple had the same basic arrangements as the tabernacle, two rooms and an outside yard, but each of the horizontal dimensions was doubled.

David desired to build The Lord a temple, but God chose his son Solomon.

What does Solomon foreshadow? Why the work of Christ, of course. Solomon was the son in David’s line, the line leading to the Messiah. He built a dwelling place for God, foreshadowing Christ who builds his church (Matt. 16:18) and who is himself the chief cornerstone (Eph. 2:20) or foundation (1 Cor. 3:11). Christ builds not on the earthly Mount Zion but on a heavenly site: “But you [Christians] have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God” (Heb. 12:22).

Solomon himself recognized that the true dwelling of God is in heaven. As he dedicated the temple he spoke of the earthly temple as a place where God had put his name (1 Kings 8:29). Heaven is the true dwelling place of God (1 Kings 8:30, 43) and the place from which God hears. Thus, Solomon recognized what we had learned from Hebrews, that the tabernacle and temple were shadows of heavenly things.

God dwells in a special sense in heaven. Of course in the broadest sense, as Solomon reminds us, “The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you” (1 Kings 8:27). Yet in a particular way the visible sky represents God’s own majesty and inaccessibility. Even more inaccessible than the visible sky is God’s special throne room as we find it described by prophets like Isaiah (Isa. 6:1-13) and Daniel (Dan. 7:9-10) and John (Rev. 4:1-5:14). From God’s throne angels issue to perform his commands.

When God came down in a cloud at Mount Sinai, the cloud symbolized both God’s heavenly character and his inaccessibility to the human eye. Moses went up to meet God, foreshadowing Jesus’s function as a mediator between God and man. On the mount, Moses received a pattern for the tabernacle. What else would it be than a heavenly pattern, since he received it by symbolically going up to heaven? Thus the Book of Hebrews appeals to the fact that God instructed Moses to “make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain” (Heb. 8:5).

When we look at the tabernacle again, we seen unmistakable signs of symbolism of heaven. The two cherubim by the ark are replicas of angelic heavenly beings guarding the throne of God (cf. Ezek. 1; Gen. 3:24). More figures of cherubim are woven into the veil that guards the way into the most holy place (Exod. 26:31). Still more cherubim are woven into the ten curtains that constitute the main material of the tent, enclosing the two rooms (Exod. 26:1). The curtains are woven with blue, symbolizing the royal blue of heaven. The ten commandments are the very words of God, heavenly words in the fullest sense. They are written on tablets that Moses received from the Mount, that is, from a symbolic replica of heaven. They are placed in the ark of the testimony (Exod. 25:21), the most holy object in the entire tent. The ark itself is a box with the approximate shape of an ancient king’s footstool.1 Thus the ark represents part of God’s throne room in heaven. Fittingly, the space above the ark is empty, because God may not be seen and no images of him are permitted (Exod. 33:20; 20:4-5; Deut. 4:15-19). Thus the tabernacle as a whole is a replica of heaven. When God comes to dwell with the Israelites, he brings down to them in his wonderful condescension a little replica of heaven.

The Courtyard, Holy Place and Most Holy Place

Let us look at the arrangements in greater detail. The tabernacle has two rooms. The inner room, measuring 10 cubits by 10 cubits by 10 cubits high (about 15 feet on a side), is called the most holy place. The outer room, measuring 10 cubits by 20 cubits by 10 cubits high, is called the holy place. The two rooms are separated from one another by the special curtain or veil barring the way, the curtain to which Hebrews refers (Heb. 10:20). Another curtain made of similar material separates the holy place from the yard outside (“the courtyard”). The courtyard measures 50 cubits by 100 cubits. If one takes into account the curtains forming the fence around the courtyard, which are 5 cubits high, the total dimensions are 50 by 100 by 5 (Exod. 27:9-19). The dimensions clearly become less perfect as one moves outward. The inner room is a perfect cube. The outer room is not, but deviates from perfection simply by multiplying one dimension by two. The courtyard is still less perfect, inasmuch as all three dimensions are different. But the dimensions still have simple ratios to one another, expressing a kind of limited balance and perfection. Thus each of the three areas is a kind of lesser image of the preceding one.

As a priest proceeded inward, he came first to the courtyard. Then he crossed the courtyard to the altar of burnt offering in the middle of it. Then he came to a “laver” or washing basin, then to the first curtain, then to the holy place. In the middle of the holy place were a lampstand on one side and a table with bread on the other. At the far end of the holy place the priest came to an altar of incense, then to the second curtain, and finally to the most holy place with its ark (a gold covered box), the cherubim, and the special cover for the ark called the “mercy seat” or atonement cover. Inside the ark were the tablets of the law (Exod. 25:21).

All these aspects of the tabernacle may be expected to say something to Israel about the meaning of communion with God and dwelling with God. They picture the nature of God’s dwelling and the manner in which he is approached. But before we enter into any detail, let us try to understand the over-all structure. The inner and outer rooms are both covered with blue curtains and interwoven cherubim, signifying heaven. All the furnishings are covered with gold, signifying the royal splendor of heaven. Outside in the courtyard, the altar is made of bronze, a less expensive metal, and common Israelite worshipers may enter. The courtyard is much more earthy in character. The relations between the two would doubtless suggest to Israelites their own earthiness in contrast with God’s heavenly character. Israelites are on earth and God is in heaven. God’s throne in heaven is, as it were, concealed by clouds and the visible sky, which correspond to the curtains barring the way into the two rooms.

Why are there two rooms rather than one? Doubtless two rooms are needed to show some of the variety of aspects belonging to communion with God. The use of two rooms also emphasizes the remoteness of God’s presence, since there is more than one layer separating the Israelites from the inner room. The imagery of heaven suggests something more, namely that the outer room corresponds more directly to the visible heavens, with sun, moon, stars, and clouds, while the inner room corresponds more directly to the very throne room of God himself, which is distinct from the visible sky.

The same Hebrew and Greek words are used for “heaven” in both of these senses. No special distinct terminology is needed, because biblical writers were not making scientific astronomical distinctions but were dwelling on the fact that the majesty and inaccessibility of the visible sky reflects the majesty of God (Ps. 19:1-6).

Thus in some ways the visible heaven of the sky corresponds to the holy place, and the invisible heaven of God’s throne to the most holy place. Degrees of inaccessibility are expressed in this symbolism. Degrees of perfection are also evident. The most holy place has the perfect dimensions of a 10 by 10 by 10 cube, as we saw, while the holy place and the courtyard are less perfect. In the most holy place are the symbols of God’s immediate presence: the law setting forth God’s standards, the ark symbolizing God’s throne or footstool, and the two cherubim guarding the throne. In the holy place are symbols easily associated with mediation between God and human beings.

On one side of the holy place the lampstand provides light all night (Exod. 27:30; Lev. 24:1-4). Israel would be reminded of how God is the creator and light-giver. The sun, moon, and stars provide light during both the day and the night. The seven lamps on the lampstand is the seven spirits of God. These include what man lost in the garden. which are the spirit of the Lord, wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the spirit of the reverence. God is not only the creator who supplies light by natural means, but the redeemer who supplied redeeming light to lead the people out of Egypt. The cloud of fire guided them and lead the people out of Egypt. The cloud of fire guided them and 23). This symbolism is fulfilled in Christ, who is both our creator and redeemer (Col. 1:15-20). Christ was the original uncreated light of the world, whose glory and purity is dimly reflected in the heavenly bodies (John 1:3-5). He is also the redeeming light of the world; he comes into its spiritual darkness to make the blind see (John 1:5, 9; 8:12; 9:3-6).

The lampstand is placed on the south side of the holy place. Perhaps this placement is intended to correspond to the fact that from Israel’s point of view, north of the equator, the circuit of the heavenly lights would be primarily to the south. The seven lamps suggests not only the seven major lights of heaven, as I have mentioned, but the general symbolism for time within Israel. The heavenly bodies were made in order to “serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years” (Gen. 1:14). The whole cycle of time marked by the sun and moon and stars is divided up into sevens: the seventh day in the week is the Sabbath day; the seventh month is the month of atonement (Lev. 16:29); the seventh year is the year of release from debts and slavery (Deut. 15); the seventh of seven year cycles is the year of jubilee (Lev. 25). Fittingly, the lampstand contains the same sevenfold division, symbolizing the cycle of time provided by the heavenly lights.

The lampstand is also in the shape of a tree, with branches, buds, blossom, and almond flowers (Exod. 25:31-39). What message is conveyed by this shape? Once more it is a message about time, the familiar cycle of growth of plants, springtime, summer, and harvest. Indeed elsewhere in Scripture the almond is a symbol of a time of watching or waiting (Jer. 1:11-12), because of a play on the Hebrew word for almond. “Almond,” shaqed\O (דֵקָשׁ)\o, is related to the Hebrew word for “watch,” shaqad\O (דַקָשׁ)\o. If we follow this symbolism through, we see that the lamps themselves symbolize the fruit of the tree. This strange tree has buds, blossoms, almond flowers, and fruit all at once, because it must be a static picture of the whole cycle of time that God has created and sustains.

The tree symbolizes the growth of life. It issues new light in the form of fruit that in turn will give birth to new trees. The tree is truly a tree both of light and of life. The reproductive living power of the tree is in its fruit, that is, the light, which shines on the earth and sustains its growth. As John says, “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men” (John 1:3-4).

In addition, the tree reminds us of the Garden of Eden with its original tree of life. But now the true life of creation has been lost through sin. It is restored through God coming to be “God with us.” The tabernacle is a renewed version of the garden of Eden. But curtains with cherubim on them still bar the way into God’s presence, just as cherubim barred the way into the original garden of Eden after the fall (Gen. 3:24).

On the other side of the holy place is the table with “the bread of the Presence” on it (Exod. 25:23-30). The “Presence” spoken of is clearly the presence of God. In the ancient Near East sharing a special meal together was a act of friendship and personal communion (see Gen. 18:1-8; Exod. 24:9-11). The host undertook solemn responsibility to serve and protect his guest while they enjoyed the meal. Thus God invites Israel to share a meal with him and enjoy his protection. But only the priests can eat the special holy food (Lev. 22:10-16), and the restriction to the priests signifies the special restrictions on fellowship, due to God’s holiness. In this way God symbolizes his provision of food to the Israelites. This also reminds the body of Christ how blessed we are to go directly into God’s presence with him.

The Israelites had a common experience to which to relate this symbolism. Day after day they ate manna, the “bread from heaven” (Exod. 16:4), miraculously provided by God. The Israelites complained about its taste (Num. 11:6), but actually it was sweet tasting (Exod. 16:31), reminding them of the sweet goodness of God the provider (cf. Ps. 19:10). It came with the dew and looked like frost (Exod. 16:14), reminding them of the fact that God provides rain and dew to water crops, which in turn provide food. It looked like coriander seed (Exod. 16:31), again reminding them of the association with crops. Thus God by his supernatural provision indirectly pointed to the fact that he provides food to us every day by natural means (Matt. 6:11). He is the creator and sustainer of agriculture. The descent of rain from heaven is a continual reminder of his provision. Once the people entered the land of promise, the bread of the presence itself would have been made from grain growing in the promised land. Which all things in the temple are a direct symbol of Christ the word of God makes provision for spiritually and physically.

Thus the bread of the Presence was a continual pointer to the fact that God provides food to human beings every day through the processes of reproduction, growth, and harvesting. But in addition, God provided the manna to his people of Israel, a special supernatural food, redemptive food, food from heaven, when he brought the people from bondage into the promised land (Exod. 16:32). A portion of manna was permanently kept in the most holy place to signify its holy character and to encourage the Israelites to remember its lessons (Exod. 16:32-35).

When Jesus came, he fulfilled this symbolism. Not only did he supernaturally provide a meal for 5000 people (John 6:1-13), but explained its significance: I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. . . . I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty (John 6:32-35). This bread also represent the one bread we are with Christ Jesus. This pointing to the day we are in now. The Body of Christ is the bread sent from heaven out of Christ. Christ made his body to be his word on earth,like spiritual bread, men must eat the words we speak to be saved. We are the word of God and the living epistles of Christ, not written in ink but given in spirit form by the Spirit.

The details of the bread of the presence may also be significant. The table has the same rectangular shape as the holy place and as the courtyard, twice as long as it is wide. This proportionality suggests that it is a little replica of the larger land. The twelve loaves correspond to the twelve months, the cycle of seedtime and harvest by which God provides foods. The twelve tribes of Israel come to share in the inheritance when they enter the promised land and receive plots of the land themselves. Fittingly, the manna stops coming when they enter the land and eat its fruit (Josh. 5:10-12). But remember that the table is in the holy place. It stands for the heavenly origin of food. It represents the patterns of the seasons and of the heavenly lights, which are then replicated in the shape of the courtyard representing the earth. The land of the Palestine is in turn a replica of the courtyard. When Jesus says that he is the bread of life, he shows that he is the heavenly original of which these things are copies, both in creation and in redemption. Through God mercy he mix the believer in Christ the word of God. Our birth came out of the word in Christ.

One more item stands in the holy place, namely the altar of incense (Exod. 30:1-10). The altar of incense was a special small altar covered with gold that was placed at the far end of the holy place, just in front of the curtain leading to the most holy place. Unlike the bronze altar outside in the courtyard, it burned no animal sacrifices, but only incense (Exod. 30:8-9). It was “most holy,” and in this respect logically belonged with the most holy place (Heb. 9:4), even though it stood physically outside the curtain.

The outstanding function of the altar was to burn sweet smelling incense. The smoke and fragrance from the incense would have filled the entire tabernacle, both inner and outer rooms. What picture does this process present to Israelites? For one thing, it would have suggested the lavish and thoughtful hospitality of a host. The life of the average Israelite was accompanied by the strong and not-always-pleasant smells associated with animals and physical labor. The fragrance of burning incense was used by hosts to add to the pleasant atmosphere of a special social occasion. God as the supreme host made sure that such items of pleasant hospitality were associated with his house.

Once we take into account the theme of replication, involving the inner and outer spaces replicating heaven, the incense also suggests another set of associations. The smoke from the animal sacrifices offered on the bronze altar outside would have gone up into heaven. The altar of incense signifies what happens to the smoke when, figuratively speaking, it rises to the very top of the seen heavens. It becomes a sweet smelling fragrance that enters even into the most holy place, God’s throne room. God smells and is pleased. He receives the offering. The offerings themselves are a sort of nonverbal prayer–prayer for forgiveness of sin, prayer of adoration, prayer of thanksgiving, prayer of intercession by the priest for those whom he represents. Appropriately the New Testament clearly identifies the rising incense with the prayers of the saints (Rev. 5:8; 8:3). But first of all we must think of the prayers of Jesus Christ as he prayed on earth (Heb. 5:7) and as he now intercedes for us in heaven (Heb. 7:25).

The altar of incense has the dimensions one cubit by one cubit by two cubits high (Exod. 30:1-6). The dimensions of one cubit by one cubit in horizontal space make it square, a replica of the square shape of the most holy place. Its vertical dimension, two cubits, makes it the same in overall shape as the holy place, but one-tenth the size. The ark has dimensions of one and a half cubits high, one and a half cubits wide, and two and a half cubits long (Exod. 25:10). The two equal dimensions make the ark into a square, replicating the square shape of the most holy place. They are also equal to the vertical dimension of the table. The bronze altar has a vertical dimension of three cubits, twice the size of the vertical dimension of the ark, and two dimensions of five cubits, twice the size of the length of the ark. As we have already observed, the two equal dimensions of five cubits make the bronze altar into a square, replicating the shape of the most holy place and the cross section of the ark.

What does all this symmetry and replication suggest? Perfect craftsmanship. Inside the ark is the law, symbolizing the blueprint for the whole pattern of the tabernacle. The tabernacle itself is nothing else than a replica of the law, God’s word, which described the pattern to Moses in the first place. This building is truly beautiful, the work of a master builder, the creator himself! The courtyard outside corresponds to the earth. The altar there is made of bronze, a less expensive metal, in contrast to the gold that covers everything in the two rooms. The altar measures 5 cubits by 5 cubits, a perfect square, showing its perfection. But the figure of 5 has already been associated with the courtyard as a whole, which measures 50 cubits by 100 cubits by 5 cubits. Thus the very measurements of the altar suggest its association with the whole of the court. But again its dimensions are not completely symmetric. It is 3 cubits rather than 5 cubits high, breaking the perfect symmetry in order to allow the priests to work on it without too much onerous effort. To this altar the ordinary earthly people of Israel are allowed to approach, at least to the entrance of the courtyard, and to present their earthly, animal sacrifices. In addition, the vertical dimension of three corresponds to the threefold-ness in the total length of the two rooms of the tabernacle.

In between the bronze altar and the rooms is a washing basin or “laver.” It is also made of bronze, suggesting the same association with earth. In fact, here we have a little replica of the earth. The laver represents the waters of the earth, while the space around the laver represents the dry land. The altar itself replicates the whole tabernacle, since it is the special place rising up from the earth where sacrifices may be offered. Thus the altar is suggestive of a little replica of Mount Zion, the later resting place of the temple, or Mount Sinai where God meets with Moses. The three cubit height of the altar might perhaps even suggest the three tiers or stories of the world, the highest invisible heavens, visible heaven, and earth.

Another little pattern is suggested by the function of the washing basin and its relation to the priests. The washing basin supplies the priests with water for their ceremonial washings. It is a basin for cleansing. Water descending from heaven through the seasonal pattern of rains represented in the holy place comes to the earth, with its life-giving power, and renews it. It is the cleansing, life-giving water of life.

Note also the sequence of actions that a priest would go through. The altar stands closest to the entrance to the courtyard. After that comes the washing basin, then comes the tabernacle itself with its two rooms. The Israelites’ own experience in the immediate past portrayed the same sequence. First they are in bondage, in Egypt, then they are delivered through the sacrifice of the Passover lamb, symbolized by the altar. Then they pass through the Red Sea and still live, whereas their enemies are destroyed. The waters of the Red Sea stand for a kind of ceremonial cleansing from their enemies, as Paul points out: “For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea” (1 Cor. 10:1-2). Then they enjoy the manna in the wilderness, symbolized by the table of the bread of the Presence (Exod. 16:1-36). They come to Mount Sinai, the special holy mountain, symbolized by the whole tabernacle.

The Five Offerings of the Old Testament

The key to man’s survival since the fall has always been through the blood of Jesus. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. There is no way to approach God in prayer. Without the blood, there is no way to stop evil from overcoming men. If you want to stop poverty, storms, sickness, accidents, the devourer, and all other evil, you need to know how to apply the blood of Jesus.

The offering in the old covenant was applied by faith until such time as the messiah came and offered his blood. These blood offering would temporarily cover men until Christ came and perfected the offering and not cover the sins but permanently remove sin forever. There is power in the blood of Jesus. The power is his blood and his life is one. The life of God is eternal life and therefore above sin, sickness, death, poverty and all evil.

The connection to the life of God is through the blood of Jesus. This is why old covenant saints at death could not go to heaven, be born again, or be directly in the presence of God. This is only possible through the blood connection. Those who are one with God must have his blood in their spirit. When the blood is in our spirit then are we connected to him as members of his body by the blood of Jesus. Every saint now has this life (blood) of God in Christ, where we came from spiritually.

John 6:53-58

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

To become a Christian we had to eat the word and drink his blood. This word and blood are tied to drinking from the spirit of Christ. The life of Christ’s flesh is in the blood. If you can see it, we are the flesh of Christ. So our life in the spirit is supplied by the blood of Christ or you could say the blood of our Father. We are blood sons and daughter of God Almighty. Therefore through this blood in our spirit we wash our soul and connect it to God. On one hand the blood has been applied to our soul and body. That is why we are saved forever with a new body guaranteed. We, in the meantime, have to apply the blood to our soul for divine protection on the earth.

The same way Israelites applied the blood to the door post of their houses, we have to apply the blood to our temporary house (our body and soul). Then when evil comes it will pass over the believer. I will talk in more depth later about how to apply the blood. Once we do this we can stop hurricanes, storms, sickness, poverty, death and all evil from entering into our life. We know man must die, except those who are raptured off the planet. But now let's take a look at how the blood was applied in the old covenant.

There were five offering that were used as a token to apply the blood of Jesus over those under the law. Everything in the law was tied to the coming of the blood of King Jesus. His life would be given for all that looked forward to his home coming. Jesus would give his blood for them and give his blood to them. The blood will be connected to God and connected to his body and Israel. We are connected to God by the blood of Jesus.

Now that the tabernacle and later the temple were built, God taught men how to cover their nation and family from evil. This was the whole purpose of my Father giving a law for the people to go by. It was not to hurt them but to protect them until their permanent shield of perfection came. So he showed them how to apply animal blood for a covering. Once they were covered from his wrath, then God would be there to protect them from evil.

Burnt Offering

This offering, as it is burnt, reflects consecration --- the act of being consumed by God's love and committing oneself to Him. People presented the offering first in Leviticus 1:1-17: God receives with the entire animal (usually a bull, a ram, or a male bird), but the priest receives the animal's skin. Its purpose is designed as an expression of total devotion, and also to receive atonement from an unintentional sin. In Leviticus 8:18-21, the priest offers an "unblemished male goat" and it is "slaughtered before the Lord," at the site of the burnt offering.

Grain Offering

This offering, either flour, oil, grain, incense, baked bread or salt, was designed to reflect the goodness of God and the richness of His gifts. It was a voluntary act of worship and reflected commitment to God. The offering, which never included yeast or honey, accompanied the burnt and peace offerings. When a priest made the offering, the entire portion went to God but when others gave it, they only had to give a memorial portion; they were to eat the rest in the court of tabernacle. The grain offering appears in Leviticus6:14-23, where "the sons of Aaron shall offer it on the altar before the Lord."

Peace Offering

The peace offering is another form of voluntary worship and was designed for thanksgiving and fellowship; it typifies the act of communion. The offering was an animal with no defects, from herd or flock and from a number of breeds. God's portion is the fatty elements: the fat that covers the inner parts, the fat tail, kidneys and the fatty part of the liver. The high priest would receive the breast meat and the officiating priest would receive the right foreleg. A peace offering is made in Leviticus 3:1-17: "if he offers it of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord." The offering should be sacrificed at the tabernacle door and its blood sprinkled around the altar.

Sin Offering

The sin offering was carried out for the atonement of unintentional sin, confession of sin, forgiveness of sin and cleansing from defilement. The offerings were available depending on social status: for example, a high priest would offer a young bull but a poor man would offer a dove or a pigeon; the destitute would offer fine flour. God's portion of the offering was the fatty portions; the high priest and others would receive atonement for their sins. The sin offering appears a number of times throughout Leviticus but its first mention is in 5:1-13: "As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they must bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for them for their sin."

Trespass Offering

The trespass offering was always carried out with a ram and for the purposes of atonement for specific unintentional sin that requires restitution, cleansing from defilement and for making restitution. The offering to God would consist of the fatty portions (kidneys, fatty aspects of liver, inner fatty portions and the fat tail) of the ram while the remainder was given to the priest, who was required to eat it within the circle of tabernacle. In Leviticus 5:14-19, it is also referred to as a 'guilt offering' and requires the person to offer "a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver."

When more than one kind of offering was presented (as in Numbers 6:16-17), the order was as follow:

1. Sin offering or trespass offering

2. Burnt offering

3. Peace offering and grain offering (along with a drink offering)

This order was a very important part of the spiritual significance of the sacrifice system. First sin has to be dealt with to approach God. Even today, when we pray, the first thing we deal with is asking forgiveness before we pray. The sin offering and the trespass offering are first. Second, the worshiper commits himself completely to God (burnt offering and grain offering). Third, fellowship or communion between the Lord the priest and the worshiper (peace offering ) was established. To make it clear, there were sacrifices of expiation (sin and trespass offerings), consecration (burnt and grain offering), and communion offering (peace offering).

Offerings

Daily the priest offered 1 lamb in the morning service and 1 lamb in the evening service. On a Sabbath, 2 additional lambs were offered after the morning service.

Seven high days are designated in Leviticus 23 (verses 7, 8, 21, 25, 28, 30-32, 35-36). These high days are Sabbaths. They were to be treated like the seventh day Sabbath, even though they could occur on a day other than the seventh day (Saturday) of the week

- which was the normal Jewish Sabbath. On a high day, besides the daily regular offerings, the priest offered 2 additional lambs after the morning service, and additional sacrifices for the day. These seven high days were:

The 1st day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Nisan 15) The 7th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Nisan 21) The Feast of Weeks (Sivan 6)

The Feast of Trumpets (Tishri 1)

The Day of Atonement (Tishri 10)

The 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Tishri 15)

The Last Great Day (Tishri 22)

Besides the daily regular offerings, additional sacrifices were offered on special festivals:

Special Offering on The Day of Atonement

Normally a bull was offered as sin offering for the whole congregation (Leviticus 4:13-14). But once a year on the Day of Atonement, a goat was offered instead. And for the High Priest, a bull was offered as sin offering (Leviticus 16:14-15). Another live goat, or the scapegoat, was to be sent to the wilderness (Leviticus 16:20-22). These were the special offerings during the atonement ceremony.

Besides the regular daily offering and atonement sin offerings, one bull, one ram and seven lambs were also offered (Numbers 29:7-11).

Question: "What is the meaning of Azazel / the scapegoat?"

Answer: “Azazel” or “the scapegoat” is mentioned in Leviticus 16 as part of God’s instructions to the Israelites regarding the Day of Atonement. On this day, the high priest would first offer a sacrifice for his sins and those of his household; then he would perform sacrifices for the nation. “From the Israelite community [the high priest was instructed] to take two male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering” (v. 5). The priest brought the animals before the Lord and cast lots between the two goats – one to be a sacrifice and the other to be the scapegoat. The first goat was slaughtered for the sins of the people and its blood used to cleanse the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar (v. 20). After the cleansing, the live goat was brought to the high priest. Laying his hands on the scapegoat, the high priest was to “confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites – all their sins – and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the task. The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the wilderness” (vv. 21-22). Symbolically, the scapegoat took on the sins of the Israelites and removed them (v. 10). For Christians, this is a foreshadowing of Christ.

Christ is the complete atonement for our sins. In many ways, He embodies each aspect of the Day of Atonement. We are told that He is our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14). He is also the “Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world” (Romans 13:8) as a sacrifice for our sins. And He is our scapegoat. Second Corinthians 5:21 says, “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” Our sins were laid on Christ – He bore our sins just as the scapegoat bore the sins of the Israelites. Isaiah 53:6 prophesies Christ’s acceptance of the sin burden: “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” After the sins were laid on the scapegoat, it was considered unclean and driven into the wilderness. In essence, the goat was cast out. The same happened to Jesus. He was crucified outside of the city. “He was despised and rejected by men … He poured out His life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:3a, 12). Jesus embodied what the scapegoat represented—the removal of sins from the perpetrators.

Truly, the Old Testament rituals carry a depth and richness that only God could create. The Day of Atonement foreshadowed the ultimate atonement Christ provides. No longer do we need to sacrifice animals to cover our sins, nor do we need to impute our sins to a scapegoat to have them carried away. Jesus has been sacrificed and “scapegoated” for us. Our sins have been atoned for and removed. “The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming – not the realities themselves,” we are told in Hebrews 10:1. “For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. … Those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. … We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Hebrews 10:3-4, 10).

Christ is the center of attention for all the offering in the old covenant and testament. Whether bull, goat, animal or any other offering that was temporary and God used them to make peace between him and his people. Jesus, the lamb of God offered himself and made a way through his blood for every man that will receive him.

Whenever there was a sacrifice the power of God was released to stop judgment, death, sickness, poverty or whatever evil that was coming against you. These sacrifices put peace between man and God. The head of the house, the man was responsible for his family. It was his duty to stay in peace with God. Because God is the only one that can stop death and evil from overcoming a nation or a family.

Those offerings, according the law that the priest would give once a year (sin and trespass offering for the nation would remove passed sin and future sin until the next year. The blood of Jesus, on the other hand, removes all past, present

and future sins forever. In the next chapter we will speak in detail concerning the new covenant.

REVIEW NOTES

Chapter 5

BLOOD BROTHERS WITH KING JESUS

The Chemistry of The Blood

Matthew 1:18-20

"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that WHICH IS CONCEIVED IN HER IS OF THE HOLY GHOST."

Matthew 11:22-23

"NOW all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, God with us."

The Virgin Birth

These scriptures above are the proof that Jesus’s birth was from a holy virgin chosen by God. I can see how men can reject the Bible record, but men can’t say the Bible doesn't teach the virgin birth is beyond my understanding. It is so clear that a first grade student in English can grasp it’s meaning.

The Bible teaches plainly that Jesus was conceived in the womb of a virgin Jewish mother by a supernatural insemination of the Holy Ghost, wholly and apart from any generation by a human father. This the Bible teaches so plainly that to the believer there is no doubt. The record cannot be mistaken by the enlightened and honest readers of the Word.

Jesus Was Sinless

The Word teaches in addition that Jesus was a SINLESS man. While all men from Adam to this day are born with Adam’s sinful nature, and, therefore, are subject to the curse and eternal death, the Man Jesus was without sin and, therefore, DEATHLESS until He took the sin of others upon Himself and died THEIR death. While Jesus was of Adam's race according to the flesh yet He did not inherit Adam's nature. This alone will prove that sin is not transmitted through the flesh. It is transmitted through the blood and not the flesh, and even though Jesus was of the "Seed of David according to the flesh" this could not make him a sinner.

God has made of ONE BLOOD ALL THE NATIONS of the earth. Sinful heredity is transmitted through the blood and not through the flesh. Even though Jesus, therefore, received His flesh, His body from a sinful race, He could still be sinless as long as not a drop of blood of this sinful race entered His veins. God wisdom found a way whereby Jesus could be perfectly human according to the flesh and yet not have the blood of sinful humanity. That was the problem solved by the virgin birth.

Origin of the Blood

It is now definitely known that the blood which flows in an unborn baby’s arteries and veins is not derived from the mother but is produced within the body of the fetus itself only after the introduction of the male sperm. An unfertilized ovum will never develop blood since the female egg does not by itself contain the elements essential for the production of this blood. It is only after the male element has entered the ovum that blood can develop. As a very simple illustration of this, think of the egg of a hen. An unfertilized egg is just an ovum on a much larger scale than the human ovum. You may incubate this unfertilized hens egg but it will never develop. It will decompose and become rotten, but no chick will be hatched. Let that egg be fertilized by the introduction of the male sperm and incubation will bring to light the presence of LIFE IN THAT EGG. After a few hours it visibly develops. In a little while red streaks occur in the egg denoting the presence of blood. This can never occur and does ever occur until THE MALE SPERM HAS BEEN UNITED WITH THE FEMALE OVUM. The male element has given life to the egg. Life is in the blood according to scripture, for Moses says:

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood." (Leviticus 17:11). "For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof."

Since there is no life in the egg until the male sperm unites with it, and the life is in the blood, it follows that the male sperm is the source of the blood, the seed of life. SELAH

No Mother’s Blood

For this very reason, it is unnecessary that a single drop of blood be given to the developing embryo in the womb of the mother. Such is the case according to science. The mother provides the foetus (the unborn developing infant) with the nutritive elements for the building of that little body in the secret of her bosom, but all the blood which forms in that little body is formed in the embryo itself and only as a result of the contribution of the male father. From the time of conception to the time of birth of the infant not ONE SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD ever passes from mother to child. The placenta that mass of temporary tissue known better as “afterbirth,” forming the union between mother and child is so constructed that although all the soluble nutritive elements such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, salts, minerals and even antibodies pass freely from mother to child and the waste products of the child's metabolism are passed back to the mothers circulation, no actual interchange of a single drop of blood ever occurs normally. All the blood which is in that child is produced within the child itself as a result of the intro of the male sperm. The mother contributes no blood at all.

Testimony of Science

The following quote on science is from M.R. DeHaan, M.D. Now for the sake of some of the skeptics who may doubt these statements let me quote from a few reliable authorities. In Howell’s Textbook of Physiology, Second addition:

"For the purpose of understanding its general functions it is sufficient to recall that the placenta consists essentially of vascular chorionic papillae from the foetus (the unborn child) bathed in the large blood spaces of the decidual membrane of the mother. The fetal and maternal blood DO NOT COME INTO ACTUAL CONTACT. THEY ARE SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER by the walls of the fetal blood vessels and the epithelial layers of the chorionic villae."

Or let me quote from Williams’ Practice of Obstetrics:

"The fetal blood in the vessels of the chorionic villae AT NO TIME GAINS ACCESS TO THE MATERNAL BLOOD in the intervillous space, BEING SEPARATED FROM ONE ANOTHER by the double layer of chorionic epithelium."

"Normally there is no communication between the fetal blood and the maternal blood."

Now for the benefit of those of you who may be nurses, let me quote from a textbook which is familiar to you. Quoting from "Nurse’s Handbook of Obstetrics" by Louise Zabriskie, R.N., Fifth Edition:

"When the circulation of the blood begins in the embryo, it remains separate and distinct from that of the mother. All food and waste material which are interchanged between the embryo and the mother must pass through the blood vessel walls from one circulation to the other."

"The foetus receives its nourishment and oxygen from the mothers blood into its own through the medium of the placenta. The fetal heart pumps blood through the arteries of the umbilical cord into the placental vessels, which, looping in and out of the uterine tissue and lying in close contact with the uterine vessels, permit a diffusion, through their walls, of waste products from child to mother and of nourishment and oxygen from mother to child. As has been said, this interchange is effected by the process of osmosis, and there is no direct mingling of the two blood currents. In other words, no maternal blood actually flows to the foetus, nor is there any direct fetal blood flow to the mother."

M.R. DeHaan, M.D.

God’s Blessed Provision

How wonderfully God prepared for the virgin birth of Jesus. When He created woman He made her so that no blood would be able to pass from her to her offspring. That blood is the result of the male. Since Adam was the anointed head of the race, it is HIS BLOOD which transmits Adam's Sin. In order to produce a sinless man and yet be the son of Adam, God provided a way whereby that man would have a human body derived from Adam but have not a drop of his sinful blood. Right here is the scientific biological reason for the sinlessness of the Man Christ Jesus. Some have tried to answer the question, “How could He be sinless and yet born of a woman?” by making Mary the “Immaculate Virgin.” That, however, does not answer the question of how Jesus was sinless since it is through the male that the bloodline runs.

Not only is this a scientific fact, but it is plainly taught in Scripture that Jesus partook of human flesh without man’s blood. In Hebrews 2:14 we read,

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood. He also himself likewise took part of the same -- "

You will notice that the children, that is the human children, are said to be partakers of FLESH and BLOOD, and then speaking of Jesus it says that He "himself likewise took part of the same." The words “took part” in applying to Christ is an entirely different word than “partakers” as applied to the children. In the margin of my Bible, I read the word translated “took part” implies “taking part in something outside one’s self.” The Greek word for partakers is "KOYNONEHO" and means “to share fully,” so that all of Adam’s children share fully in Adam’s flesh and blood. When we read that Jesus “took part of the same” the word is "METECHO" which means to take "part" but not all. The Children take both flesh and blood of Adam but Christ took only part, that is the flesh part, while the blood was the result of the Holy Ghost conception.

Jesus was a perfect human being after the flesh. He was of the seed of David according to the flesh, but blood is that part of a man which is the divine addition. In the creation of man, Adam’s body was made from the dust of the earth, but God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Since life is in the blood, this breath resulted in the formation of blood in Adam’s body, but the first Adam’s blood was corrupted and sin transmitted through it to all men. In the last Adam and the second man, new, divine and sinless blood was produced in a body that was the seed of Adam and by this resulted in the production of —

God’s Blood

Conception by the Holy Ghost then was the one way the Virgin Birth could be accomplished. Mary produced the body of Jesus and He became the "seed of David according to the flesh." The Holy Spirit contributed the blood of Jesus. It was sinless blood. It was God’s blood. It is divine blood for there has never been any other like it. It is —

Innocent Blood

"I have betrayed the innocent blood," Judas admitted in Matthew 27:4. Our Lord was innocent. He became like unto us in all things — SIN only excepted. Like unto us with ONE EXCEPTION and that exception was that instead of a human father He was conceived by a DIVINE FATHER. As a result biologically, He had GOD BLOOD, SINLESS BLOOD. Because this blood is DIVINE and sinless it is —

Incorruptible Blood

Death of the spirit is what caused the corruption of Adam’s blood. Soon after death, decay sets in, and it begins in the blood. This blood was now being pumped by the heart to all members of Adam’s body. The dead spirit in the blood began to kill every member of his body. That is why meat must be drained well of its blood. That is why embalmers place the embalming fluid in place of the blood. David said that Jesus’s body should "see no corruption." Though He was dead three days and three nights, His body did not corrupt. Because He was sinless they could not put Him to death but instead He "laid down His life voluntarily that He might take it up again." That blood in Jesus was so powerful that he could not die unless he would lay his life down. He arose by His own power because death had no claim in HIM except the claim of others’ sin, and when that was paid —

"Jesus took the keys of death, hell and the grave and made a show of demons, principalities and powers, bring them to an open show."

To receive Jesus: just pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I come to you as a sinner, I believe you died and paid the price for me with your blood and life. Forgive me of all my sin and save me. I believe you died and was raised from the dead. I confess you as my lord and savior. I believe my sins are forgiven forever. I believe I am born again and have your eternal life in me. Thank you Jesus for saving me forever. Amen.

Be aware of those who try condemn and judge you. Remember, God has given to you everlasting life. Remember this life is in his blood and his blood is in your spirit. This blood is the blood of your father God. Jesus is now your blood brother..

There is so much confusion within the body of Christ concerning salvation. Most members of the body are still trying to keep the laws of Moses for their salvation. No man, besides Jesus, has been able to pass this test. So many uneducated preachers are still not preaching the gospel or good news where salvation is free through the blood of Jesus. Once a man excepts Jesus, God gives him the life of Jesus or the life of God which is everlasting life. We know it as being born again spiritually.

The Spirit of Man and Jesus’s Blood

Man is a spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body. The spirit of the man died in Adam when he ate of the forbidden fruit. This death is spiritual death. Which means to be separated from the spirit of God. The spirit of God left Adam and he died in his spirit. Before he sinned, his spirit had a direct connection to the Holy Spirit. Therefore, as long as he was connected he could not die in spirit, soul or body. Because everywhere the breath of Adam went in his body, the breath of God was there. This breath or spirit was the life giving force of the body. However, once man fell, the same spirit that gave life to the members of his body were short circuited, diseased, sick, weak and afraid, and evil began to pass on through the blood to all members of man’s body.

It is the spirit that gave life to the flesh. The flesh has no profit or life without the spirit. This was the reason men began to die, because his spirit no longer connected to God’s spirit. You might have light in your house, because it is connected to the energy company. If they disconnect your electricity, the lights go out. When Adam disconnected from his power source, he had enough energy left in his spirit to keep his body alive for around nine hundred years.

As men began to sin more and more, the spirit of man became weaker. So men went from everlasting life to hundreds of years. Now, about a hundred years or less. The problem with man is the life force in his spirit and soul is dead. Once the life is in the blood it stays there until death. When the breath leaves man the body dies and the soul has to move off the earth. When God’s spirit departed from Adam, he was like a tree uprooted from the earth. The tree will stay green for a few days, but it is dead without its connection to its parent material in the earth. It is the same with fallen men, they have been disconnected from God. They are dead even while they live in their spirit. Plus, the spirit in their blood is killing every member of their body daily. In the saints, we have God’s blood in our spirit and not in our blood. The only reason our bodies die is because we still have Adam’s blood in our body. This also is part of the reason we still sin. The sin of Adam put death in our blood. Roman 7:17 says, “ Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.” The inside or born again spirit of man cannot sin. But sin is still in my blood. Therefore when I want to do right, sometimes I do wrong.

Satan is another dead spirit walking around on the earth. Fallen demons are very weak compared to their original state. These angel also died spiritually when they separated from their power source. God is the source of all life or spirit. This is one of the reasons demons like to possess men’s bodies, the spirit in men gives them power. Men’s spirit has more power than the devil’s spirit in general. Even animals have power in them that devils desire to control.

Mark 5:8-14

For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. 14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

In this story there was a man possessed by devils to the point he had to be chained. The chain and fetters of iron could not tame this possessed man. When Jesus came by the path on his way, this man met him and the devil spoke through him. Jesus asked the devil his name and he said legion. This meant that this one man had up to six thousand demons in him. Then they begged not to be kicked out of the city. When he cast them out they went into some swine. My point: devils are very weak compared to men, spiritually. Six thousand drawing strength off of one man’s spirit.

Jesus said that when an evil spirit is cast out of a man he goes into dry places seeking rest and finding none. Then he goes back to his previous source of strength and carries back with him seven spirits more wicked than he is. While demon spirits are weak by the fall, the are much sharper than the average man. This is how Satan uses men in great position to work against God and man. Satan loves to draw his power from men that are in position to kill, steal and destroy.

So when Jesus came to redeem man, the first thing he would fix would be the spirit of the man. Once the spirit is born again of the spirit of God, Jesus could now live in his spirit and heart by faith. The Holy Ghost, the power source could come into man once again. Now the man would get back the seven anointings from God that he lost at the fall. They are the spirit of the Lord, spirit of wisdom, spirit of understanding, spirit of knowledge, spirit of might, spirit counsel and the spirit of the fear or reverence of the Lord.

With God back in a man’s spirit, he now has everlasting life because he accepted Jesus. While our blood stream and flesh still have death in them, God has promised to give the believer another body made out of spirit material. When we receive our body it will be the material Jesus’s body was made out of. His body is made out of God himself. When he come back we will see him as he is and we shall be just like him. Glory to God my spirit groaning now for that body. Instead of living in a dirt suit, we will be living in a God suit.

When we accept Jesus by faith, the blood of Jesus comes into our life in our new born spirit. This is what Jesus is talking about through the apostle John in the sixth chapter of John. Unless you drink my blood and eat my body, no life is in you. Thank God I am his brother by the blood of Almighty God. Yes, this man’s name is Jesus and he is King of this new race of men. Because Christ is the King, all members of his body are kings. King Jesus’s spirit contains the invisible spirit blood of God. Jesus is Almighty God manifested in flesh. God is Always the Almighty, whether manifested as the Father, Holy Ghost or Jesus. Our mind will bring our thinking low if we allow flesh to rule. The blood of Jesus manifested therefore is the blood of our Almighty God.

In Rev 1:8, Jesus says “ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

Isa 9:6, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Jesus speaking to John in the book of Revelation, cals himself the Almighty. Isaiah speaking of Jesu, refers to him as Mighty God. See also the other names the Holy Ghost had the prophet to write about who he is above. One of those names is another discussion for another time. I wonder what name is that? The Everlasting Father. Meditate on those names and you can see that Jesus is the carrier of the blood of God. This blood was given for our sins in the natural world, and given to us in our spirit. There is almighty power in the blood of Jesus.

Dirt Suit vs. God Suit

Even as God took the blood of one man and made a dirt suit for all men, so will he take the blood of Jesus and make a God suit for the new man. I can see all of the saints in heaven now still waiting for the day when they receive their God suit. While their spirit and soul in now perfect in heaven, they still have one thing missing, their God suit. Some in heaven, such as those resurrected after Jesus death probably already have their God suit. They were seen by many in the Holy City after the resurrection of Jesus.

These God suits will be the completion of God’s promise to Abraham concerning his seed. Remember, Jesus is the seed and we are the members of the seed. This way God bring us directly all the way into the God class. Yes we will be just like Jesus in spirit and body. We are and will be blood brothers forever.

Act 17:26 “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;”

The same way God passed on the blood from Adam to every man that was born except Jesus, so will it be with the blood of Jesus for those whom he saves. As death and corruption came by the blood of Adam, so shall a Godly life and incorruption come by the blood of Jesus. God has taken one blood (God/Jesus blood) and will make all his children gods and man under King Jesus. The children of God are gods and man (Godman). What a blessed class the Almighty has created. Yes we are of the species of our Father and his Son.

Just as Jesus took on the form of the man, so shall we take on the form of God. This is God’s desire and will for man. Go read the bible over again and you will see it this time. He is the one that said you are Gods and all of you are children of the most high. This statement didn't come from the will of man but from God himself. Then Jesus said this word shall not be broken (read Psalms 82 and John 10).

I Corinthians 15:49

And as we have borne the Image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

Throughout the Old Testament and the New, God has been giving men a way back to him. Not only that, but he desire his children to come all the way up into the God family. We are God’s and of all of us are children of the Most High God. The blood of Jesus is in our spirit and heart and is taking over our soul. We should not deny the grace of God just because men don’t believe the truth. Most in the church frustrate the grace of God. If Jesus said we are Gods, we should preach and say the same thing. “Grow up my little children and receive my engrafted word,” says the Lord. Who’s report are you going to believe? We need to quit acting like chickens and begin to act like a god. Because, our Father is our God. He is God our Almighty Head, we are gods with him as our head. This way, God is in all, through all, and above all. What a blessed family of gods. Receive the grace of God by faith.

Hebrews 2:10-13

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Hebrews says, “He that sanctified and they who sanctified are all of one.” This means we all came from the same one. We all came from the same substance. It means we all come from the same bread, spirit, God and Father. I am Jesus’s blood brother and God is my blood Father. Just as Adam produced all men, Jesus produced all Gods (Godman). Then Jesus said I am not ashamed to call them brethren. If he is not ashamed then we should not be ashamed. There are many that have read this word but are afraid to preach and would not dare write about it, less they be rejected. Well that’s why God chose me, I have already been rejected. I, like Paul, am not ashamed of the good news, it is the power of God unto salvation.

The body of Christ must grow into the divine relationship with God. To be God’s body we have to have the blood of God flowing through every member. This is the purpose of the blood of Jesus. The Word was the blood before it became red, seen in Jesus or flesh. This word became red blood in a man born of a woman, Jesus. He would lay this blood down and then pick it up again after three days. Then he presented the blood to the Father on our behalf. This blood was now red in the seen realm and the word in the spirit realm making Jesus Lord over both the seen and unseen.

Then God toke this blood and began to give it to every man that would drink it. The Last Adam said, "Unless you drink my blood and eat my flesh, you will not have this life in you." He was referring to the everlasting life of God. I don't know about you but I am full of this blood. My cup is running over with the blood of Jesus. Even now, you are seeing the blood of Jesus flowing out of me. The words that you are reading are filled with the blood. When I speak and preach the word, my words are filled with the blood of Jesus. This blood is his life and God gave his spirit to me. This spirit comes from the same one God.

The Blood of Jesus is His Life

John 6:53-58

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

Jesus gives the perfect example of the spiritual blood of Jesus. He tells them if you don’t eat my flesh and drink my blood, you won’t have life in you. The blood he is talking about is not red, but spiritual blood. This blood had manifested itself in his physical body as red blood. The life of his flesh was in that blood. The flesh he was talking about was spiritual flesh. Meaning his spiritual flesh and blood is the word of God. This is the reason when we eat the blood, flesh or word of Jesus we become the manifested word of Christ. The word of Christ is his holy spirit that we live in and the he lives in. This one spirit of Christ in every believer. He is the head of his spirit in the body. Many members have a spirit, but it is all one spiritual body. Therefore every member of the body is always in Christ’s Spirit.

Jesus said, “I came to the earth that you might have life and have it more abundantly.” This life he was referring to is the life of God. When Jesus was on earth his life was in the blood. That life is in the body of Christ. We all have drunk of his blood. While we know the word was made into every member of Jesus body, soul and spirit. This life force was flowing through his blood. The life in a person is tied mainly in their spirit. It is the spirit that makes everything live. The body nor the soul has no life without the spirit. God blew into Adam the breath of life and he became a living soul. His body and soul were dead without the breath or Spirit of God.

Once you can tie the blood, spirit and the life together, salvation becomes simple. Preachers are still trying to get men saved over and over again. If they are born of God the first time it is over. Why? Because once you get the eternal and everlasting life of God, we cannot be corrupted again in spirit. The blood of Jesus cleanses the soul, mind, and body of all unrighteousness without end. Even when we ask for forgiveness, it is for the mind’s sake and not the life or spirit. The spirit is made out of one spirit and that is God’s Holy Spirit.

This eternal life that God gives to the believer is his life. This life cannot be lost or corrupted. The life is God’s seed and cannot sin. Remember, the seed from a tree contains the same tree. The seed and the tree has the same substance. That substance is the DNA of God. This seed is the eternal everlasting holy spirit of God. The Holy Spirit gives birth to his son with a holy spirit. It is this holy spirit of Christ that is in every believer. It is one holy spirit multiplied over and over again. I was crucified with Christ nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. Christ is the “head” of every born again spirit. Every member of his body is in every born again spirit. There are many members but one spirit. This spirit is our life and seed from God. The spiritual blood of King Jesus is in every king and priest of God. Sin cannot penetrate this seed. The seed is incorruptible, holy, pure, righteous and everlasting. Yes the saints have God’s everlasting life. The life we have put an end to sin, death and evil forever. The blood of Jesus is in the spirit. Lets look at the definition for eternal.

Eternal (ahee-o'--nee--os) Greek

from 165; perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well):--eternal, for ever, everlasting, world (began).

Eternal-without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing (opposed to temporal): eternal life.

perpetual; ceaseless; endless: eternal quarreling; eternal chatter. enduring; immutable: eternal principles.

Metaphysics, existing outside all relations of time; not subject to change.

If we would just take the time to search the scriptures there would not be so much condemnation from the pulpit. Eternal life is not subject to time, sin, Satan, beginning or end. The life God gave to his body does not ever change. This life is so far above principalities, powers, laws, angels, and all of his creation. It is the life of God. Meditate on the definition above and you will never be moved again concerning your salvation. It is secure forever. We have everlasting life that is full of the blood of Jesus. Did you eat Jesus’s flesh and drink his blood?

Our life is in Christ Jesus. Therefore we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. This is a promise from God to his children. Being one with Christ put the saints in a position above all creation. All creation is subject to the members of God’s body. Can you see this clear? There is no way a member of your body can ever be below any other creature on earth. No matter how much a man loves a dog, cat or any other animal, your little toe is above all those creatures. This is the way it is with the body of God. We have to see ourselves connected to God as members by the blood of Jesus.

Eternal Life and the Blood

Because we are blood brother of Jesus, we are heirs of salvation. God has given salvation to all his children by way of an inheritance. We jointly own salvation with Jesus the Christ. We are in him and he is in the believer. The same spirit that raised him up is the same spirit that raised us up with him. When we accepted Jesus, the blood of Jesus cleansed us and washed our past, present and future sins and iniquities away forever. By his own word through promise and oath he refuses to remember our sins forever.

While we do have the same soul and body, God has given to the saints a new heart and spirit. This new heart has the pure holy blood of Jesus in it forever. Jesus paid the price in full on the cross and in the lowest part of Hades. After three days the claims of justice was satisfied. He was raised from the dead with every member that will ever accept him. When we accepted the life he gives us his blood spirit. The old spirit is done away with and we are born again in spirit. This blood spirit is eternal and the spirit of the son of God.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me one night in my sleep and said, “Your book is a perfect example of the one spirit of Christ in every believer.” When I finish this book it will be sent to the press to be copied into book form. There will be over two hundred pages in the book. The book will only have one outside cover. The pages in the book represent each member of the body of Christ. The cover of the book represent Jesus, our head. Then there is glue that connect all of the pages. The glue is a type of blood connection. All the pages of the book are written words in spirit of each member of Christ’s body.

The book, once put together is one book from one author. This author represent God as being the one that put all the pages (members) in the book. However there is only one book when it is first completed. The one book represent one body of Christ raised from the dead coming out of the heart of God. The first book represent the first begotten from the dead, Jesus. However, all the pages (members) are already in the book. When Jesus was raised from the dead, we were resurrected with him.

Finally the book will be duplicated by thousands and millions. All the books will be the same book with no changes at all. It will have the same cover and the same number of pages. With the cover being Jesus and the pages being members of his body. All the pages are of God and his thoughts living in the book. Then, when a person is born again, Jesus gives them the book as their spirit. This way we all have the same spirit. We all are God’s sons and carriers of all the members in our spirit (book). One book duplicated over and over again. As many as will receive Jesus, he will give them their copy of his spirit. This book (spirit) is an anointed God spirit.

There are sons and daughters in God’s heart now that have not even been born the first time. Why they are just living thoughts now, the will soon have a flesh body and will later get a copy of the book. This book represent the born again spirit. The born again spirit comes full of the blood members of Jesus. Yes. One book (spirit) given to every believer. Even though we have different books they are all of the same source. This book is known as Jesus with his members. Please meditate on this and God will show it to you more clearly. This example is a parable.

1Cr 6:17, But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit

Ephesians 4:4-6

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

1 Corinthians 12:12-14

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many.

Paul said above that we are one body baptized into one body. This one baptism causes all of us to be baptized in the spirit blood or life of God. We drunk of the same spirit. We were covered and filled with the blood of Jesus. Praise the Lord I am full of the blood (life) of Jesus, which is the Spirit, life and blood of God. It is like the whole book being dipped in the blood of Jesus. Remember in Revelation, Jesus dipped his garment in his blood. That garment is like the body of Christ being dipped in the blood.

1 Peter 1:23-25

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

When a man is born again his spirit is incorruptible. The spirit is the eternal life of God which comes from the blood of God. We have to always think of Jesus as the Almighty God. Because he is the Almighty manifested as a man. His blood is the blood of the Almighty. This blood is incorruptible, holy, pure and innocent. Peter says it lives and abides forever.

Peter says all flesh is its highest glory is like grass and a flower. As white and beautiful as the grass is, it fades away. Doesn’t matter how strong, black and beautiful it fades away. Some flesh is real beautiful, smart and rich, but the dirt suit will get weak and fade away. From the day a man put on his dirt suit (his body), it is in a fading mode. Just like the flower it is designed to bloom, but after that death. What dirt suit do you know that is still living after a 150 years. Very few dirt suits make it past one hundred. That is because flesh is corruptible.

However, the word of God abides forever. Can you see what God is saying? The word of the Lord abides forever. This seed of the word that we are is the word of God. Think of the seed of an oak tree, what kind of tree it produces? What kind of tree comes from the pine tree? Now Almighty Jesus is the Word tree and he produces from him the Word tree. The body of Almighty Jesus is the incorruptible seed of the Word of God. This means we are the Word too, and cannot fade but endure forever.

Our Life is in the Blood of Jesus

This was the reason I spent so much time in the previous chapter talking about the blood of the innocent animals. Those animals’ blood was not at fault for sin. It was Adam’s blood, life or spirit that sinned against God. So God used innocent animal blood to cover their sin until the blood of Jesus would wash their sin away. Jesus’s blood removes sin forever from everyone that receives him. This is why we have to drink the blood to get eternal life.

The first Adam sinned and his spirit died and his blood was corrupted. The last Adam (Almighty Jesus) because of righteousness, his blood remained righteous, our spirit blood is righteous. The believer’s life is in the blood of Jesus. This blood is back in the original state, spirit blood. Just because we can't see the blood does not mean we did not drink the blood. If you are born again your spirit is full of the blood of Jesus.

1 Peter 1:3-5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Peter say this life is begotten from God, incorruptible, undefined and fades not away. Glory to God I have faith that I have this life as my inheritance. What a free gift to give to one that was lost. What a mighty God we serve. People that preach the law and deeds for salvation don't understand the grace of God.

Jesus from the beginning was walking around with this life in him for us. We were with him also in spirit form of thoughts. It was God’s will for his thoughts to have the life in Christ. God had chosen each one of us before time began to be members of his body. I can see myself in him back then saying, “Let me out Lord, let me be who you want me to be. Let me possess the life in Jesus that you have for me.” God’s thoughts, like your thoughts, can have a manifested future. It was his purpose that his thoughts about the church would come into existence. Yes, God’s thoughts do have power to manifest.

You really have to get in the spirit to see what I am saying. This type of revelation comes through your spirit and not your mind. When I say get in the spirit that is exactly what I mean. See our spirit lives in the Spirit. Our spirit is a member of Christ’s Spirit. But our soul, through wrong thoughts, sometime is out of the Spirit. Now allow your mind to come in the spirit now. Now don’t you see those thoughts in time past crying out in God. I can see those thought’s desire to be manifested seen man on earth. Let this word help you to see inside of God.

John 1:1-5

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Are you still inside of God’s Spirit? Do you see the life that is him, for men? Before there was anything else, God and his word were one. All things were made by him and without him (Jesus Christ) was not anything made. This life in him is what I want you to see. In him was life and the life was the light of men. Right here while we are in the spirit, take a look at the life in him. This life in him is for some men both on earth and men that are still thoughts in God. There are perhaps billions of men in God now crying out to come to the earth. These thoughts already have life in Christ, waiting for their birthdate.

There are two Greek words in the New Testament I want to discuss. The two Greek words are: Life ( Greek dzo-ay) and Life ( Greek Psoo-khay)

Life (dzo-ay) Greek - life, life time or the God kind of Life. The God life. The breath of God.

This Life is Eternal

This word is referring to the highest form of life. It is the God life or life of the God kind. This life is the everlasting life that God reserved for his sons and daughters before the foundation of the world. The Apostle John said "in him was life (dzo-ay), and the life was the light of men. This life is not just a breath from God as with Adam, but it is the eternal life of God. This life has no beginning or end. While members of the body have a beginning, the life God gives them is His eternal life.

This life was in the tree in the garden of Eden. It is so powerful that God drove out fallen man unless he get it and lived in a fallen stage forever. The holy angels and the fallen angesl receive a eternal spirit from this life, but it is not incorruptible like the new life of God’s children. This life we have was always in Christ, reserved for the sons and daughters of God. Father refused fallen man from receiving it in his fallen stage.

I understand to the fullest that we saints are born again and therefore this was the beginning of our life. I understand that our spirit is a new creation in Christ. If you are 20 years old and someone gives you a car that was built in 1905, is the car older than you? This is my point, this eternal life always existed, God gave it to the believer. Jesus was born again from the dead. He gave me the life that is in him. It is a free gift from God to his children. I was born again in 1983, about 2000 years after Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Still the word said we died with him and was resurrected with him. In the eyes of God this is the way it happen.

When I accepted Jesus in 1983, God gave me my spirit out of Christ (remember the one book), this spirit came with eternal life built in it. The car body may be new, but the engine is eternal.

Galatians 2:20-21

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Some things that God speaks can only be received by faith. Such as I was crucified with Christ. How can this be when I was not born? Time doesn’t have authority over God’s word. Time always submits to the word of God. Just as time by faith submits, we have to, by faith, submit our minds to exactly what the word says. This is why it so hard now for baby Christians in understanding, to understand eternal salvation. We are forgiven and saved forever because God said it. God’s word of grace rule over sin, judgment, condemnation and what flesh believes.

Then Paul says, “I live but it is not me, but Christ lives in me.” I don't have understanding of all the details of this to believe what the word says. I just believe that Christ lives in me by faith. When I believe this, it seals the deal for my mind concerning my salvation. Why? Because I know for sure Christ is holy therefore I am holy. I know can't no man judge him. So now by faith my salvation is through my faith in his Grace. Now, salvation to my mind is made easy by faith. I can go further on this subject now, but because the body is dull of hearing, I must stop.

John 3:14-16

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Salvation is so full of grace that it has to be received by faith. How simple can the Apostle John be concerning our everlasting life? He tells us first we shall not perish. That means we are living forever without decaying of being lost. Then, he explains we have eternal life (life without end). This is the free gift from God, his eternal life. I guess I just have some Southern Baptist in my faith. Some of them my not speak in tongues, but we all need to go through their salvation school. Thank God for the teaching of the Southern Baptist on salvation by grace alone.

John 10:26-30

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

Jesus makes our eternal life so clear it should never be doubted. But the wolfs and deceived preachers with the microphones are just like these Pharisees during Jesus’s time. They are still preaching salvation by the works of the law. Most Christians are eating and believing everything they say. What about what Jesus said in John ten? He said the true saints will "never perish." Plus, no one will pluck them out of his hand. This is simple to understand and believe if men would read the word for themselves. Jesus seals salvation again by saying, “The Father and I are one and nobody surely can't take the believer out of his hand.” So find you a good news church that preaches "all" the good news and be free from the condemnation of men. The blood of Jesus is an ever saving power. It is in our eternal life from our blood brother Jesus, and our blood Father God, and they are one. And we are one in them.

After the blood of Jesus paid the price for man, God began to give this incorruptible life to his real children. As with fallen man, God had this life shielded with flaming sword to keep unreal men from this tree of eternal life. The Spirit of God will not give this life to a person that is faking or that will turn on God in the future. Satan wanted this life, but the Lord knew all the time he would turn against him. Therefore no created being, except those God chose, will ever get this life. This life is in the spiritual blood of Jesus. This life of the spirit is in the blood of Jesus. Peter said being born again by the word of incorruptible seed. Satan and his host have everlasting type of life. Fallen man has a type of everlasting life. However, it is not the eternal life of God. Eternal by definition has no beginning and no end. It is incorruptible, meaning it cannot decay, fall, fail, or any such thing. Because it is the eternal everlasting holy life of God. Think of this gift, a God life that doesn’t have a beginning or end. Selah

Once a person can get this understanding concerning the eternal life of God. He will never doubt his salvation or another member salvation. Some say, well you can be saved and be lost. No, this life is incorruptible. This means it cannot decay, be defiled, spoiled, destroyed, wasted, or any like thing. The proof that a man is saved is this life. If God gives him this life, that is it, God trusts him because the life comes out of the blood of Jesus. This life cannot sin, fall, betray or any such thing, because it is the life of God. Father Gave the believer his blood.

Then you always have flesh men, finding any kind of way they can find to condemn those that have this blood in their spirit. Roman contradicts all judgments of men that have this life. Why? Because this life comes from the blood and is in the blood of Jesus. Christ’s blood is the blood of God. To get this life, men have to eat the word and drink this blood. If men are not sincere, they cannot drink this blood.

Jesus said to his disciples:

Matthew 20:22-23

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

This cup that Jesus was talking about was twofold; one, it was the suffering he would go through both on earth and for the three days, two, the cup of his blood that only his true brothers would be able to drink. Even when talking about the blood in communion, when men drink and don't reverence the body it will make them sick and take their physical life. The life of God comes through the blood of Jesus and it is everlasting.

Jesus also makes it clear concerning salvation, when he said you can't put new wine in an old bottle. Salvation, the blood of Jesus and the life of God is only given to those real. Do you think the Holy Ghost know who is real? Every false believer will not drink of this blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus and the eternal life of God is one. Therefore the proof of everlasting life is in the blood.

Religious and old covenant preachers until this day don’t have insight on everlasting life. Many in these churches are saved but blind because of the blind teachers. Lord, I pray that the eyes of these preachers will be open now. Many think in their flesh mind they are right. They have a zeal but not according to the knowledge. We are blessed to be a part of the new system of salvation.

The other Greek word for life is listed below :

Life (psoo-khay')-from 5594; breath, i.e. (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from 4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from 2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew H5315, H7307 and H2416):--heart (+

-ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.

This Life is a Breath

Mat 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

This word life (psoo-khay), referring to the breath of life in man before he is born again. This life can be everlasting. This word is also used to talk about your lifetime on earth. However, it is a life that is decaying and will be continually corruptible. This life will decay, ruin, and end up in the lake of fire forever. Unless the man is born again in his spirit. When this takes place the spirit part of this life is removed and the soul part is saved. This life was transformed to man by the blood of Adam. It is separated from the Life of God. This is the reason Jesus said you must be born again. Also, he said it would be good to lose this life and receive the life of God. Because this life is tied to the soul, it needs the God life (dzo-ay) for the soul part of this life to be saved.

Mark 10:17

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

This rich man had enough sense to know that he had a breath of corruptible life verses the everlasting eternal life of God. While his riches kept him from the life, he recognized that this life was eternal. It is my hope that this book is being read all over the world to those that are blind because of blind teachers of the word. Satan has so many preachers speaking for him on this subject. But the blood of Jesus being written in this book is against these false teachers, old law teachers, deceived teachers and devils. This good news of salvation will be preached throughout the world. Will you pass this word on?

There is nothing evil that can penetrate the blood of Jesus. Can the old law preacher condemn and get past the blood? Can those that preach holiness to condemn get past the blood? Can sin get past the blood? Can a billions’ sin get past the blood? Can the devil, principalities and powers get past the blood? Can anything present or anything to come get past the saving blood of Jesus? No, therefore our salvation is secure because we drank the blood. REVIEW NOTES

Chapter 6

THE BLOOD AND THE BOOK OF HEBREWS

My purpose in this chapter is, display God’s grace. Show the warning from God for denying grace, show our connection by the blood and to show our rank in the kingdom of God. In this chapter the word will prove without a shadow of doubt that the true believer has everlasting life. We will see how we have been raised up to the throne with Jesus in power, rank and authority. Most important, we will see in this chapter the penalty for not receiving the grace of God. As God in the Old Testament allowed evil to come on Israel, He will allow evil to come on the church. Why? Because when we don’t believe him we take down our shield of faith. God is not bringing evil, he is allowing evil because we are allowing evil. Having faith in the word raises our shield of faith. Not having faith in the word removes our shield of protection. Thus giving place to the devil, death, sickness, diseases, poverty and all kind of evil trials. God has never been apart of anything evil. Even with Israel, it was when they allowed evil because of unbelief. The mystery of God is being revealed in this book. The Apostle Earl Roberts said, “God is a good God.”

People don’t understand that the Old Testament is translated in our language in a passive form. Let me explain, God did not send the flood he allowed the flood to come. It came as a result of divine justice. See the following for example:

Deuteronomy 28: 15 - 33

15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 20 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 21 The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22 The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 24 The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 27 The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 28 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

When reading this on the surface it sounds like God is sending all this evil on Israel. On the contrary, He is giving them a preview of what will happen to them if they don’t believe him. The Lord (Yahovah ) is the judge of divine justice. He is the one who has already set laws up of divine Justice. Then he is the one who has to allow divine justice to be sentenced when laws are broken. So, he always, through his word, warns of the judgment that will come when divine laws are broken.

Remember everything God has ever done is always from a stand point of Love. Yes he will fight against Satan, evil, evil men and everything that comes from evil. The judge on earth sends men to jail because of the love for the free citizens. Policemen killed men on the streets for the protection of the law abiding citizens. When they are killed it is not because the policemen or solider is evil. It is because of the protection of the free citizens. God is warning his people in Deuteronomy of the ordained sentence of not obeying him. This is why we have to understand when reading the Bible, that it is written in a passive voice in the Old Testaments.

In verse fifteen it says, “If you will not hearken to the Lord’s voice all these curses shall come upon you.” This was the warning from God of the curses that will come as a result of not hearkening to his voice. Just like you are warned not to kill or you will be put away for thirty years. The law enforcement is not bringing the curse on you. You brought the curse through you act of breaking the law. It is not the Lord smiting them with diseases, it is the sentence of not keeping God’s saving word. If you read the word carefully you can see it is written in a passive message. The Lord is not the one causing the evil to come. It is Israel if they don’t reverence his foreknowledge of judgments. Israel was blessed to have the law as a guide to protect them. Other nations during this same time was getting the same judgment without a preview of what would happen. It was not God during them evil, it was divine justice. God will however fight against evil when it comes to his covenant people. Even then God is just in his sentences. Did he give pharaoh a warning? What about the people before the flood? What about the people already in the promised land before Israel. Those in the promised land had Melchizedek High Priest and King in Jerusalem at one time. God loved those people so much he allowed them to have this land first. Their evil is why God allowed them to be driven out.

Divine Justice from God never changes. Like in the book of Deuteronomy so is it in this book of Hebrews. If members of Christ body doesn’t reverence the spirit of grace our punishment will be worse. Why? Because it is the spirit of grace we are denying. They denied the written word. If we deny, we are denying the written and living word residing in our spirit. We have the spirit of grace as our head. His name is King Jesus.

Warning: Don’t Reject the Spirit of Grace

Hebrews 12: 7 – 12, 15 – 17, 25 -29

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

This chapter is a warning from God not to reject the gospel. The good news is the Spirit of Grace. We know from the old covenant what happened to Israel because of unbelief. Read Deuteronomy twenty-eight again as a reminder. However, God indicates that a worse punishment shall come on the body if we reject the good news of our salvation by grace without the works of the law. God tells us to not to refuse him that speaks. That is the spirit of grace. I warn you, be sure enter God’s presence with the spirit of grace. Why? God is a consuming fire when we remove our shield of faith through unbelief in his grace along. While we will be saved, evil will attack because we did not believe. The chastisement is God’s will to not help you when evil is attacking in some cases. I need God’s help in all cases. If he says worse punishment is needed, I believe him. Keep this in mind as you read this chapter.

Hebrews Chapter 1- Our Position in Christ

Hebrews 1:13-14

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

This chapter is designed by God to give the body a preview of our Godly identity and rank with Christ. This book is like a movie that is already completed. Our salvation and identity are already complete. Just being in Christ and from Christ spiritually is the proof of everlasting life. When God raised Jesus up and called him God, this sealed our God Image forever. There is no angel at any time that could go to the throne and sit at God’s right hand. But Christ and his body did just that. See yourself in the body going to the throne. Then he said, the angel were created to minister or serve the heirs. The members of the body are the heirs. We as one body are the heir with Christ.

The writer began this chapter by saying that in old times God spoke to man by the prophets, but has in these last days spoke to us by his Son. This is referring to God coming to the earth as a man name Jesus. Also he is still speaking to us today through his Son in every believer walking on the earth. In the Old Testament he spoke through prophets but now he lives in his body and speaks through his spiritual members. This one body in every believer contains all the members or sons and daughters of God.

This spiritual body contains his living blood. This body is his flesh and bone in spirit form. The Spirit of the Son is in every member spirit, therefore connected by the blood of Jesus. This blood is not physical but spiritual blood. As often as we receive The Lord’s supper it is to remind us that we have already drunk and been filled with his blood in our spirit. This blood is God blood and life, thus promoting every member into the God class.

Then the writer says that Jesus has been appointed heir of the world. This appointment is not for Jesus’s (God’s) benefit, because he already owned everything. God appointed Jesus heir because of the members of his attached body. Knowing that whatever he gives to the head also goes to the body also. We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Always remember that the Bible is written to show you your connection to Christ. Because Jesus is appointed heir, so also is the body. Being heirs or owners of the kingdom is forever. Jesus said, “Blessed is the poor in spirit for yours is the kingdom of heaven.” This makes every member a share holder of the kingdom of heaven.

Romans 8:16-17

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

God is a witness that we, by spirit, are children of God. The word children, means a child as begotten from God. Therefore making the child all God in spirit. Because we are now begotten of God, we all become heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. This qualifies the children to own all thing in heaven and on earth. Can you, in your mind, receive this good news?

The Holy Ghost says, in verse four, "Being made so much better than the angels he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” The key here is Jesus received it as man on behalf of his body. Not only did God give him his name, but Jesus received it by inheritance which caused this name to be given to all the heirs of his body. Most members don't know we have inherited the name of Jesus. It is the name for the whole body of Christ. This name came because we have the blood of Jesus flowing thought our spirit. When I hear the name of Jesus I always respond. This has to be seen through the word of faith. Just as all my physical members have my name, so is it with every member of the body of Christ. How good is our God. The writer says his name is more excellent than the angels. My brothers and sisters in Christ, Father gave us the name of Jesus because we are heirs and joint heirs of the name. We are not Jesus, but we have his name. My wife is not me, but she has my last name.

God made his angels spirit and ministers a flame of fire. All spirits are made out of spirit wind, breath and fire. But Jesus’s Spirit and his body are made out of God himself, therefore ranking a little lower than the most high. To be able to contain God as a body for him, we had to be made new and take on the same substance as God. Unless God would shatter his own body to pieces. New wine will break the old vessels. Our God is new and old all at the same time. The eternal life we received put us in that class. Eternal life has no beginning or end. That is why Jesus is made so much better than the angels.

After Jesus entered the throne room with is body, God made this statement, "And again when he bring in the first begotten into the world, he said, And let all the angel of God worship him" (Hebrews 1:6). We are the Church of the first begotten. We are not just added to the body, we were begotten by the blood, word and spirit of God. This, without going into detail, causes respect and honor to be given to the members of Christ’s body. We are many members but one body. God gave Christ’s members honor with him before the angels. Then the chapter is concluded by God saying, “Are they (the angels) all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” Angels are sent to ministers to the owners of salvation. If you own something is it yours? Salvation belongs forever to the body of Christ.

Hebrews Chapter Two: Our Glory and Honor

Hebrews 2:1-3

1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

The Late Dr. Kenneth Hagan Sr. Said, "Whenever you see the word therefore you need to see what it is there for." So God is saying you better get everything he said in the first chapter. You better believe all he said about Jesus and his body. Listed are a few thing he said in chapter one:

1. Appointed Jesus heir of the world (We are joint heirs with him) 2. Made him so much better than the angels (So is his body) 3. Jesus was begotten of God (So are his members)

4. Angels are commanded to worship him (Joint heirs in all glory) 5. Jesus’s position is at God’s right hand (We were made to sit with him)

6. The Angels are sent to minister to the heirs (What a high position)

Therefore we should meditate on all things said in the first chapter. The word indicating every word the angels spoke in the Old Testament was confirmed, how shall we escape judgment if we neglect all that God has done for us. This is a warning by God, he is saying you will suffer loss if you don’t receive the gospel. Israel suffered loss because of nonbelief of the judgment of the law and God’s goodness. This warning is to the members that if you reject His grace, goodness and salvation, He will judge you too.

I want to point out that in this book of Hebrews, God gives us all the good things he has done for us through grace. When we neglect the grace, He will without any doubt Judge the body according to their nonbelief. To not believe you are the heir of God and have his name is disbelief in the highest form. This Judgment has nothing at all to do with your salvation. But everything to do with your prosperity on earth. Many in the body are praying for help right now and God is not moving at all. We have to believe him concerning who we are and our position in Christ. We can expect God to make us rich, and we still listen to preachers saying you are not saved. Best thing you can do is move where you can be taught the truth. Faith comes by hearing and hearing truth.

I preach this good news that I am writing all the time. I can see it on the face of doubting saints saying, "I don't believe I jointly own all things." They have such a hard time believing they are saved forever by grace. They are still trying to work their way into everlasting life. So, Father will allow these unbelievers of the truth to suffer hard times. When he could help them he will not. Because he is saying, “I have given you the promises through the mouth of Moses.” But, you are saying what he is telling you is too good. For example, "Houses you won’t have to build." Yes what God has done for the believer is real and true.

Hebrews 2:5-8

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

God has blessed the body so much that angels asked the question, "What is man that you are mindful of him?" The word says no angel has he put in charge the world to come. Not only is the new man in charge of this world, but new world to come as well. Then God reveals that he made the new man just slightly less divine than God. This word, angel, used in verse 7, is from Ps 8, where it says “a little lower than God (Elohiym).” In the New Testament the word was translated angel rather than God. Man is made a little lower than God. But, is made higher than angels. This is why the question in verse 6 is being asked. “What is man that you are mindful of him.”God has put "all things" in subjection to the the born-again man. God has set all things he made under our authority.

This means we have authority in heaven and on earth. Our authority is subject to Jesus only. We have to believe this by faith. Then we can use our authority to rule and reign on earth like never before. This mean sickness, demons, wealth, money, evil men and all thing under our authority. Begin to see yourself in the light of God’s word. You are not some evil man, little boy, girl or servant. You are the head and not the tail. You are above only. You are blessed coming and blessed going. All that you put your hand to is blessed. God have crowned you with glory and honor. This Glory is him and all the glory that belongs to him. Whether in heaven or earth all is yours.

1 Corinthians 3:21-23

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

When we neglect the promises of God, we are on our own so to speak. Because God will not move for saints that don't believe him. I teach that all things are ours. I can see most members of the church not receiving. I pick it up in the spirit and continue to explain this good news. But many instead of believing what God said, continue to doubt. They continued to depend of men in government to take care of them. They stay on warfare when they own all things. They brag and look up to the evil rappers, evil rock stars and such like and give them glory.

Others look up to the evil rich and give them glory. I continued to tell them you own all that the wicked possess. I tell them, you own life, death, money, wealth, men, all things present and things to come. It is sad but most leave church thinking that sounds good but it is not really true. So they have neglected such a great salvation. Thus removing their shield of faith. The evil is allowed to come into their life. Why? Because he said, “If you neglect my blessed words, you will be judged.”

Hebrews 2:11

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Jesus has sanctified us by way of the cross and three days in Hades out of his body. The cross of Jesus and the three days completed salvation. Nothing else to be done, but for a man to receive him as Lord. No work or anything else can be added to the finished work of Jesus. We just have to pick up the cross and walk by faith. Meaning to have faith in the finished work of Jesus.

Yes he saved us and declared we all are of one. This means we all have God substance in our spirit and heart. Our spirit and heart is all of Jesus Christ. Christ, my fellow members is the God. Whatever God is, Christ is the same. Whatever Jesus is, we are the same. We have been baptized, cleansed and been filled with the blood of Jesus. This is why he is not shamed to call us brethren. We are brothers by the invisible blood of Jesus. The life of the flesh is in the blood. Our life is in the blood of Jesus.

Hebrews Three: Consider the Faithlessness of Jesus

Hebrews 3:1-2

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

They key to understanding the book of Hebrews is having faith in God’s ability to save you to the uttermost. God is so kind, loving, trustworthy and full of grace. His word concerning our salvation is sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise. Our Father’s desire for the body is for them to have faith in every good thing he has declared. He wants you to know and believe your salvation is secure forever. He desires us to believe we are his holy body. He wants us to know we are number one in his book despite our flesh fault. He wants us to know his grace is more powerful than our sins. He wants us to believe we are higher in rank and have authority over all spirits that he has created with his hand.

So he starts off in this chapter reminding us how faithful Moses was as a pastor of his house. Remember, Moses could have gone into the promised land by himself, without Israel. God told him they were not going in. So Moses was so faithful he died in the wildness with them because of their nonbelief. The writer tell us to consider who represents the body. He want us to see Jesus as more faithful than Moses. Moses was faithful as a servant of his house. But Jesus is the builder and owner of his own holy house, the body of Christ.

Christ is worthy of more honor and glory than Moses. If Moses died with them and refused to go in without his house. Then how could Jesus go into glory without every member of house. When God build this house, he made it secure, everlasting, holy forever, sin proof, and eternal. So God gives us this book, to warn every member to trust his word, grace, Apostle Jesus, and every good thing he has ordained for the body. He doesn’t stop there, he says if we don't trust his grace then our punishment on earth will be worse than those that died in the wildness because of unbelief.

Then later, God swears that he will allow the seed of unbelief to grow up and bring hard times in our life. They didn't believe the good news concerning the promised land. Houses they would not have to build. Wells already dug and full of water. Fruit trees already producing fruit. Ours is so much better than Israel. He promises us salvation forever. He promises us to never remember our sin anymore. He promises us that we are joint owners of all things with Jesus. He calls us holy brethren. He put us in charge of angels and all the work of his hand.

Then, throughout this book, he warns us just like he did Adam and Israel about unbelief. While eternal salvation and all he has said about us is a rap, he will allow the seed of unbelief to buffer us until we trust him with our whole heart. There are many Christians facing hard times right now because of unbelief. Don't listen to no preacher, brother, mother, friend or angel to cause you to doubt your security in Christ. If you do, God has promised by himself to allow that seed to buffer you until you believe. This is why Satan has so many preachers preaching condemnation. Because Satan, not God, has to carry out what he has spoken. Don't you think it is time for you to believe the good word of grace and favor?

Just think of all the condemnation we have been taught all our life. We have been told if we sin we are going to hell. If you keep making the same mistake you are doomed for sure. The preacher has said you must be perfect or God will send you straight to hell. They have planted all kinds of unbelief concerning past, present and future sins. While God’s word says just the opposite. He promises everlasting security. He says he will not remember your sin anymore.

Hebrews 8:12

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Hebrews 10:17-18

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

If the leaders would read the word they could preach the truth. There are so many unlearned preacher pastoring in the body of Christ. Many saints are so confused, doubting and suffering the seed of unbelief. I have found when I preach the grace of God men look at me like, what is wrong with him, he is giving people a license to sin. But That is not what I am preaching. I am preaching the cross of Jesus. I am exalting the power of the blood of Jesus. Does God then want us to sin so grace will abound? God forbid, sin still bring forth death. Sin still brings forth divine justice on earth. While it has no power at all concerning eternity, it will give you AIDS. It will get you locked up in Jail. It will cause you to lose your family. It will destroy your body with all manner of sickness and disease. It will get you to heaven before your time. But your eternal salvation is forever. It is wise not to give sin any place in your life. But doubting your salvation and God, is among the top sins.

Hebrews Four: God’s Good Word Rejected

Hebrews 4:2-5

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

God had finished the work of the promised land for Israel before the foundation of the word. He has also finished salvation for the church before the foundation of the world. They did not believe his good word concerning the promised land. Man, they all could have been debt free millionaires in the promised land. But because they doubted Moses’s words from God, they died in the wilderness never receiving the promised land. Why? because they didn't mix Moses’s words with faith.

Now God is inspiring our generation not to doubt him about your salvation. He is comparing their promised land to our everlasting life. Once you see this comparison in this book it will light up like heaven in your understanding. This book is written as an attempt by God to get us to trust him as savior. Because he is aware how hard our hearts will be because of so called holiness preaching. Please my fellow members, believe what the word says about your security rather than man.

Hebrews 4:9-11

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

The rest he is referring to primarily is our everlasting life. Plus it includes all of the promises he has made to us in the old and new covenant. Once we get past whether are not we are saved or not. Then God begins to give you your promised land. We get the houses, land, above only, freedom from debt, blessed in the city, blessed in the country and all promises after we believe. So he tells us to labor in the word to get the understanding about the security. Knowing it is based on the finished work of the cross alone. Then we ceased from our own labor about our salvation. Even as I am writing this book I am at total rest about my soul salvation. The blood of Jesus in me bares witness with me that I am saved forever.

God’s word is alive, sharp, able to discern whether or not we have faith. Once the word sees you trust God, then the spirit begins to lead you into your wealthy place. There is a boldness that comes on you to get your prayers answered. Why? because you know God will not remember any of your sins forever. You trust your God with all your heart. Then God is pleased with your faith and he begins to show you his principle for prosperity.

How can we get prosperity in our life not believing what God has to say about it. He desire us to have it more than anything else after our salvation. Yet the same devil that had you doubting salvation is still working to keep you out of the promised land. If God is against your prosperity, why would he make this statement?

3 John 1:2

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

God would not speak through this apostle and make a bold statement like that. Then turn around and say, it is not about that prosperity. He would not on one hand give this word of prosperity and speak through a preacher and go against his on word. Learn, my fellow members, to read the word for yourself and stop depending on unbelieving men to lead you. Follow the Holy Ghost preachers that are preaching what is written. Because if not, God has promised to allow difficult times to come into your life. This is his promise and not mine.

Hebrews Five: Saints Still On Milk Concerning Their Righteousness

Hebrews 5:12-13

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

When we should be teaching to babes the security of the believer, we are still in need of milk ourselves. It is 2014, at this time when I am writing this book. False teachers of this truth are on the pulpit, on television, on radio, internet and other places still preaching, saved by the works of the law. Many of these preachers are saved but babes in the word. They should not be preaching, they should be sitting down drinking milk themselves. It is a shame, bishops, pastors and leaders of denominations are fighting this grace. I ask God, “Lord, what is wrong with them.” He says “Many are saved, just have been poising from one generation to the next.” He says, “ They have taken their bishop’s word above my word.”

Galatians 3:1-3

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

I will confer with the Apostle Paul, how foolish it is to begin in the spirit and then turn around and try to justify yourself by the works of your evil flesh. Pay very close attention! When a preacher says things to you that cause you to doubt God, you better get to moving. That man can't save you. It is the blood of Jesus all by himself that freely gives everlasting life. Thank God for the power and understanding of the cross. If you are saved, you have the invisible blood of Jesus in you forever. Jesus is your blood brother forever. God is your spirit by blood forever. Don't think foolishly in your heart and doubt God. Doubt the preacher, not the word. Go read the word yourself. I tell people all the time, “Don't just believe me, go read the word for yourself.”

Romans 5:19-21

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Think just for a minute saints, if by one disobedience every man was made a sinner, what about one obedience all who believe can be made righteous. Grace reigns through righteousness to everlasting life. This is not hard for God to do. Jesus died and gave up precious righteous blood in exchange for invisible righteous blood that he gave to all who will receive. The precious seen blood was given for our sin. Then with his invisible righteous blood he made us one new righteous God man. It is the invisible blood of Jesus that we drank and gave us his everlasting eternal holy life. There is power in the blood of Jesus.

Acts 17:26-27

And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

As God took the first Adam’s blood and made every man a spirit which is his life, so is the last Adam’s blood used to give eternal life to every man. This is why it is so dumb to think that a member can be lost because of sin. The everlasting life is in the blood of Jesus that all saints have drunk. Remember and teach this concerning your holiness, it is in the blood of Jesus. Your spirit is and came from the blood of Jesus. Your spirit is full of the invisible blood of Jesus.

This invisible blood can be traced back to John 1:3-4, "All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men." This life was all men’s light. This life became seen blood and invisible spirit in Christ. When God raised Jesus and his body from the dead, this invisible blood in spirit form was given to his body. Now, as with Adam, every time a person is born again he receives the spirit full of the invisible blood of Jesus. Just remember that you have this invisible blood of Jesus in your spirit, Therefore your spirit cannot sin. God has given us his blood in our new spirit. This is the life of God that Jesus came to give you.

Hebrews Six: Rejection of the Grace

Hebrews 6:4-6

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

This is God’s warning to the people that have tasted the heavenly blood and have been partakers of the Holy Ghost. This has nothing to do with general sins and iniquities. The word is saying that after you are saved and well educated concerning the blood, grace, cross, and partakers of his spirit, then you reject grace, there is no way to save you. Because you have rejected Jesus as your sacrifice and now you don't have a savor. Many have tried to use this to condemn saints because of sins. This is still God’s warning not to reject his grace system without your works. The writer says you bring Jesus to an open shame because you reject him after he paid the price in full for your salvation. They reason there is no way to repent, you have rejected the only way into the kingdom. Which is the grace of God.

He never said anyone has or will get this far and reject Jesus, but just in case, you are lost forever. If someone gives you a key to get in and you throw the key away and say I am not going in this way, you are outside by your own choice. That is why this book is written so that you can understand truth. This person would not be deceived, but rather rejected Jesus. The good news however is if you have the blood you won’t do this anyway.

The bottom line in this chapter is, the blood has you covered forever. The grace has you in Christ forever. Sin cannot pluck you out of God’s hand. But, even after a billion years, if you reject God as Satan did, God won’t have any choice but to grant you your desires. But for you blood brothers of Jesus, don't even be moved, because your salvation is secure forever. This has nothing to do with sin per say, but rather the rejection of Christ as savor after knowing the whole truth. Remember the only thing keeping men out of the kingdom in the first place, is rejecting Jesus. Listen to what the writer say about us:

Hebrews 6:9-11

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

Hebrews Seven: Jesus is Now High Priest

Hebrews 7:22-25

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

The writer continues from chapter six where he said by two unchangeable things which it is impossible for God to lie. God both promised and swore to Abraham that Christ would come and save both Old Testament saints and the new covenants saints. This was to be the anchor for the souls. They were looking forward waiting on Jesus, we are looking back with the word believing. This faith in God’s word is the anchor for our faith in every situation.

Jesus is made a priest after the order Melchisedec. Who is the King of Peace and the King of Righteousness. Jesus, like Melchisdec, not from Levi, is a priest after a different order. Aaron, as priest, was tied to the law of Moses only. Jesus is a Priest of the new covenant. This put him in position to save forever his body and those that come to him by faith.

Hebrews 7:11-13

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? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

Because Jesus is of another priesthood the law changes under his continuing priesthood. He is King of Peace and Righteousness. Therefore he is able to save to the uttermost forever. Since he lives forever there is no need of another priest ever. Yes Jesus has our salvation rapped up forever. This chapter reflects the everlasting change of the laws by God. The old is out and the new covenant is in forever.

Hebrews Eight: The New Covenant Revealed

Hebrews 8:10-13

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

This chapter on the new covenant seem to be impossible for religious people to believe. God makes it plain that the cross and blood of Jesus finished all the work for our salvation. God used the word covenant to help the faith of the weak. God said, “I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquity I will not be remembered anymore.” Merciful means, you are guilty but I am "giving" you mercy. Mercy cannot be earned, it has to be received. Plus he says, “Your sins and iniquity I will remember no more.” We are looking back two thousand years at God’s statement, so it should be easy to believe what he said is true for past, present and future sins.

False and ignorant teachers major in confusing saints at church every Sunday. Salvation is so easy to believe when men are speaking by the Holy Ghost. I hate to say it, but there are so many born again preachers speaking by Satan (the unholy ghost) on the subject of salvation. Meditate on this word my brothers and sisters and God word will cleanse you minds and hearts of all the unbelief. Years of nonbelieving will be removed. This new covenant is the best news ever!

To get to the heart of the new covenant we have to know that when God made this new covenant with the blood of Jesus, he has to and will keep his word. Whenever a covenant is made with blood it has to be carried out by all parties. Why would God make a covenant and then not keep it? God will not and cannot go back on his word.

Genesis 22:15-17

And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

One of the main reason we can be assured that God will keep his covenant with Abraham and his seed, is because God swore to Abraham. After walking as a smoking furnace through the blood sacrifice in chapter fifth-teen, God decrees his covenant with an oath. God wanted the church to know he will be merciful and not remember our sins. The key is Abraham believed God to the point he was willing to sacrifice his son. Yes, God stopped him because God doesn’t believe in human sacrifice. The people in that day did. They were making sacrifices to false gods. But this man, Abraham, believed and offered his son as a sacrifice to our God. Both Isaac and Abraham trusted God with all their heart. Because Abraham had faith in God, he counted it as righteousness. He was willing to kill his son at God’s word. God decided to use this kind of faith for our salvation. If we will just believe him and accept him we will be saved. If Abraham could, by faith, kill his son because he believed God’s word. We should have faith to believe that he has forgiven us all sins and iniquity forever. We should believe that he will not remember our sins any more. When we believe God’s word, we pass from death to life. Faith in God’s word activates the grace of his oath.

Sin and death are man’s biggest enemies. God promised Abraham that his seed would possess the gate of his enemies. This Gate is referring to all that his enemies own. When Jesus was resurrected from the dead, he said, “ I have the keys to death, hell and the grave.” These keys are the 3 main keys God promised to Abraham in the blood covenant. Don't allow a false preachers, unbelieving preachers or anyone to cause you not to believe what God said concerning your eternal life. God will be merciful to your unrighteousness. He will not remember your sins and iniquity. Salvation is a rap for the believer. To further understand the blood covenant let’s take a close look at the blood sacrifice system.

The Origin of Blood Sacrifice

To get to the heart of this, we have to backtrack. The birth of monotheism was with Abraham, as God revealed Himself and made covenant. It was this covenant which eventually brought forth Israel. In the ancient world, however, covenant was signified through sacrifice. An animal would be killed, its lifeblood drained, and the carcass cut in half. The two individuals making the pact would then walk, together, between the two halves of the slain animal, which signified the gravity of the vow they had made. The implication was that, should either of them violate the covenant, the one in violation should fall victim to the same fate which befell the slain beast before them. Covenant was a big deal.

So it was that, when God made covenant with Abraham, He did it in the only manner which Abraham understood—through sacrifice. This is important, because it reveals an aspect of God that is central to Christian theology: God meets us where we are, and leads us forward.

Sacrifice in the Old Testament, from this point forward, was centered around the covenant which God made with Abraham. Burnt offerings and grain offerings were offerings of livelihood, offering up to God that which we rely on, reminding us that our hope is found in God alone. Sin and guilt offerings were offerings of covenant restoration, offered on behalf of the priesthood, restoring those who had violated the covenant back into relationship with God. Peace offerings were similar, but directed at the community. The sacrificed animal would be cooked and the meal shared, that relationship with one another may be restored.

Of course, God was very clear to set limits on sacrifice, and would eventually deal with the practice itself. When Abraham was sent to offer up Isaac, his son, this was a matter of establishing proper boundaries for sacrifice. There, in Canaan, it was common practice to sacrifice the first-born child to one of the pagan gods, in the hope of slaking said deity’s wrath and preserving the lives of future children in a time where infant mortality was abysmally high. God, through Abraham’s obedience, changed this practice for His people.

Sacrifice in the Old Testament was limited to animals that were sources of food, not children. By the Exodus, in fact, blood sacrifice was explicitly linked to food offerings, as the lamb slain at Passover was to be eaten as part of the ritual. In time, however, even the covenant meaning which was the basis for blood sacrifice became lost, and animal sacrifice was reduced to a ritual. Thus, by Hosea, we hear the lament of the Lord, “For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. But like Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.” (Hosea 6:6-7)

Jesus Ends Blood sacrifices

So it was that Jesus ended blood sacrifice for all time. The covenant with Abraham was that God would make him the father of many nations, and that through him all the nations of the earth would be blessed. The fulfillment of that covenant was met in His son, Jesus. The quintessential blood sacrifice under the Old Covenant was represented in the Passover lamb. This lamb would be brought forth three days prior to Passover, and observed for those three days to make sure it was without blemish or defect. On the third day, Passover Eve, the lamb would be sacrificed, drained of blood, cooked, and eaten with bitter herbs. Through this, it was remembered how the blood of the lamb protected the children from death in Egypt, and set them free from their slavery.

Jesus entered Jerusalem three days prior to Passover. For three days He was observed as He was tested by Caiaphas, Annas, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the teachers of the law, and finally Pontius Pilate… who declared that he found nothing wrong with Jesus. On Passover Eve, the Lamb of God was sacrificed on a cross, so that by His blood the angel of death may not claim us and we are set free from our slavery to sin. Jesus became the perfect sin offering. We are saved forever because we simply believe and receive.

It goes on. The night He was betrayed, He broke bread, announcing it to be His body, broken for us. He took wine, and, giving thanks, offered it to us as His blood of the New Covenant. Through Eucharist, we partake of Jesus as the perfect peace offering. We now have filled with his blood in our spirit. We must eat his flesh (believe his word ) and drink his blood (be filled with his Spirit).

The only offering remaining was the burnt offering and the grain offering—the offering of livelihood, freely given to remind us that our provision is found in God alone. This we still practice, but it is instead found in the offering of our livelihood delivered into a little wooden plate passed around on Sunday morning. Our livelihood has changed; so the offering has changed to match. This is the heart of tithes and offering.

Blood sacrifice in the Old Testament was necessary because it reflects a God who meets us where we are and leads us from there. Blood sacrifice is now complete, perfectly fulfilled, as the Lamb of God, the perfect sacrifice, offered Himself once and for all. God still meets us where we are. Hopefully, we still follow as He leads us home. Just believe with all your heart that God’s word is true and everlasting. "Your" sins and iniquity I will remember no more says The Lord.

Hebrews Nine: Christ, the Perfect Tabernacle

The Old Covenant and tabernacle was a shadow of the new. Christ and his body is the new tabernacle. Yes we are chosen by God to be the building, priesthood and everything in the heavenly temple. This is why is so important for us to "know" we are holy forever. Yes, the blood of Jesus is not only sprinkled on us, but we are full of the blood in our spirit. This blood that we have drunk has everlasting power. This blood has everlasting life. This blood that we are made out of has power over sin, hell, death, the grave and all our enemies. If you can see this, your life will never be the same.

Christ is not the shadow but he is tabernacle, temple, church, lamp, lamp stand, light, incenses, mercy seat, ark of the covenant, priest, Levites, High Priest, scapegoat, bull and all that was left out. This is all about Jesus by himself paying the price in full without our help. Even the tribes, head of houses, sinners, transgressors all represent Jesus. He who knew no sin was made to be sin for us. On that rugged cross he had all of these things mention all tied up in him. They, we and the things were all made to be one with him on the cross.

Colossians 2:8-10

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. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Yes, Jesus finished this work and the Holy Ghost have all this goodness written in the Holy Bible so we will have anchor for our soul. In Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. This display that God is in Christ and Christ is in us, therefore by the blood and life of God we are complete forever. Then Paul says Jesus is the head of all principalities or laws that make decision. King Jesus has made his ruling in our favor forever. This oneness with God will last forever and ever without end. Even when our flesh sin, fellowship on the human side is broken, but our spiritual blood relation is not moved. While we are asking for forgiveness we are still one hundred percent righteous without fail. Sin cannot penetrate the blood of Jesus that was shed and the blood connection in our spirit. See the display below of what already has taken place.

Colossians 2:12-15

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

God says we were buried with him in baptism through the faith of the operation of God. God, by faith, put the Old Testament saints and New Testament saints on the cross with Jesus. He brought the past all the way forward and the future all the way backward to the cross. The cross had eternity past and eternity future all in one place at the same time. This cross had every saved man and God on the cross. Jesus is both man and Almighty God. I know what you’re thinking but the word is what it is. He is Alpha and Omega, he which was, is and is to come.

Jesus is not Buda, Baal, Ashtoreth, Dagon, Mohammed or any other false god or false prophet, He is The Almighty God manifested as Son of God. While all of this good news is hard to utter or write, I have learned just to believe all that God has written. Some might ask how that could be God on the cross. Because Jesus is the Son of God. He is no more and no less God because he is manifested in the flesh. Listen to what Isaiah and Paul wrote:

Isaiah 9:6-7

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

1 Timothy 3:16

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Isaiah not only refers to him as Son of God, but he calls him everlasting Father. We know however from the teaching we have received that it was the Son that died for our sin. It was God manifested as the Son of God. This is a mystery that have made men reason for over two thousand years. It was the Son of God that died. I will just leave this right here on the table. Then Paul says great is the mystery of God. My point is we don't have it all figured out as of this day. God’s ways and God himself will always be a mystery to our human side whilewe are on earth. So just take God’s word by faith and trust it by faith with all your heart.

God put all the saints on the cross by faith with Christ. Then he put all of our sins and iniquities on that cross with him. Put all of the things written in the bible that was against us on that cross. I mean God put every law, commandment, judgment and everything against us on that cross. It all was made to be one with him. Then when he died, we died with him. Now a righteous man has been sentence to death on our behalf. This man was Almighty God himself manifested as the Son.

For three days it seem as though it was all over for man and the Son of God. However, the righteous blood of Jesus began to talk to God. This blood began to say, “I am righteous. I am not corrupted. I cannot be corrupted.” Then the power of God was displayed to all the living and the dead, the saved and the lost. Angels and fallen angels saw the power of God through the blood of Jesus. This blood began to talk with authority and power. The blood said the following:

Colossians 2:13-15

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Hebrews 12:22-24

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 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, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Hebrews 9:19-22

For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

What happen in the old covenant is just a shadow of what happened in the new covenant. Here God gives a picture of Moses taking the blood of animals sprinkling it on all the vessels of worship and on the people. Then he says this blood of the testament enjoined unto you. The blood then connects the people to the testament, tabernacle and to God. This was done after the death of the animals using their blood. Because covenants then were not enforced unto after the death and shedding of the blood. It would be the blood that connects the parties together. There is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood.

Just as the blood of animals in sprinkled on the people and the word made them one with the old so is it with the new. Jesus’s blood is what has made the body of Christ one with him. His blood has connected us to the everlasting covenant forever. His blood has made us one with the word, the seed, the Holy Ghost, and the Father. We are the blood body of God. We are blood members of God’s temple forever. We are therefore holy forever. We are righteous forever. It was a shadow until Jesus, be he has removed the shadow for all the old before him and made them one with his blood also. The blood of King Jesus connects all members with the words of the new covenant.

John 10:34-37

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

This is what Jesus is talking about in John ten. The word came to Israel and changed them to god. Then he said the scripture cannot be broken. That blood sprinkle and Moses reading that covenant enjoined them to God forever. Therefore they are one with God. They are God bodily members forever. Jesus sealed it for them with his own blood. Even the animals blood and God’s word changed them to god. There is unlimited power in the blood of Jesus.

The church covenant is based on better promises and a much better sacrifice. This blood is the blood of the Father, Holy Ghost and Jesus. So when the church give birth by blood to a member it is over. Nothing can penetrate the blood in our heart and spirit. We might sin with our flesh but it has to pass over. We might make a bunch of mistakes during our lifetime, but they have no choice but to pass over. We have "the Passover blood of Jesus". This is what God, in Hebrews, want you to see, the blood in you. When God looks at you he doesn’t see you as the unbelieving preacher or person, he see the blood in your spirit and the blood covering your house. This book is written and inspired by the Holy Ghost to clean the minds of the saints. The words of this book are filled with the blood of Jesus. It the blood that attacks wrong thoughts in our mind. It the blood that washes away doubt filled words in our mind. It is the blood that cleanses us with the word of God. The blood forgives and cleanses of all unrighteousness.

Jesus has given the church his flesh to eat and his blood to drink. This flesh is his word that is in our spirit. Our spirit in fact is now the word of God. That make us the word by connection to God. His blood is the giver of life to our spirit. While it is now in both natural red form and invisible form. It is one with our spirit and heart. It is also as we receive the word in our mind, transforming our mind into the word of God. The renewing our mind is that of the blood and flesh of Jesus.

When we get this blood fully in our mind we begin to operate just like Jesus. The washing of the word is full of the blood in the word. The invisible blood of Jesus. After reading this book, the doubt concerning who you are will be in your past. I decree right now, your thinking and life will never be the same. I decree the blood from this word will stay in your mind forever. You will see yourself the way God sees you. You will believe you are the word by blood. You will believe you are God’s body by blood. You will believe you are a blood brother with Jesus. You will believe God is your blood Father. And that you will understand the power of the physical and invisible blood of Jesus.

Hebrews 10: The Shadow is Removed

Hebrews 10:1-5

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

The law, sacrifices, temple, tabernacle and all things of the law were a shadow of the new covenant. In the old everything was a shadow of Christ and pointed toward his coming. Everything about the old system was a shadow of Christ and the new covenant. All the bulls, goats, meals, incents, lamps, fire, outer court, inner court, holy of holy and all things were a shadow of Jesus Christ. The offerings, people, priests and the High Priest all were a shadow of Christ’s exchange covenant.

He never made a mistake, but the men bringing the offering were a shadow of him in our place. The offerings were a shadow of him being sacrificed for sinners though he was not guilty. The altar, for example, represents that he prepared a place for his own sacrifice. Abraham and Isaac were a shadow of him. He said, “No man take my life, I lay it down.” The mercy seat, rod, lamp stand, ark of the covenant, the law of Moses, veil and all things were a shadow of Jesus. Even the cross itself represented him lifting up his own self to be bruised by God. keeping in mind that he is the Most High God. This is the reason we can't do anything to save ourselves. Jesus bared the cross alone.

The writer in saying that the shadow could not remove sin, but God has prepared me a body. The body of Jesus was the real thing. The blood of Jesus was the sacrifice. The manifested word of Jesus was the real Old Testament. Jesus’s body was the real veil. Jesus was the real lamp and the everlasting burning fire. He is the real temple, tabernacle and holiest of holy.

This body that was prepared for God by Jesus was his body. His earth body was sacrificed on the cross in exchange for sinners being lost forever. Not only was his earth body on the cross, but his spiritual body was on the same cross. That spiritual body is the body of Christ. God, through the operation of faith, put all members of his body on the cross with him. The cross was the meeting place for sins, sinners, iniquities, diseases, poverty, laws, ordinances and everything that was against the believer. By faith, Jesus became sin for us who knew no sin. Another way to say it is he became a sin offering for us. But God had his whole body present, past and future members on the cross. This is hard to see with natural understanding. It takes spiritual understanding through faith to see how we were on the cross. See the scriptures references to help you to see it clearer.

Galatians 2:20

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Romans 6:3-6

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Ephesians 1:3-5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Ephesians 1:18-23

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us- ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Colossians 2:10-12

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

We were on the cross with Jesus, in the eyes of God. While Jesus was bearing the cross along by the operation of the faith of God, we were there with Christ. Remember, with God, all things are possible. Not only were we on the cross, God documented it in the scriptures above.

1. Galatians 2 - We were crucified with Christ

2. Romans 6 - Baptized into his death, old man crucified with him and planted into his death

3. Ephesians 1 - Chosen in him before the foundation of the world. Plus declared the body holy and without blame. Made the body to be the fullness of him.

4. Colossians 2 - Made us complete in Christ. Cut off sin by circumcision without hands. Buried and raised us with him through the faith of the operation of God

Our God is a good God. Therefore we just have to believe the word that he has written. If God said it, I believe it is true. Even though we were not even born, God said we were crucified with Christ. He said we were baptized into his death. Then he said, “We are complete in him and we are the fullness of him.” All I can say is THANK YOU JESUS!

Hebrews 10:15-18

Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

This covenant is so full of grace the God the Holy Ghost had come forward and be the witness to help our faith. It is hard for religious person to believe that God doesn’t remember the saints’ sins anymore. Even when asking God for forgiveness, it is not for him to forgive the penalty of sin, it is so our conscience will be clean. If the sin was not forgiven already, Christ would have to come back and offer his blood again. Our sin is history according to the word. Sin has been paid for in full with the holy blood of Jesus. Yes, Jesus’s blood has everlasting power. There will never be another offering for our sins. Stop doubting and believe with all of your heart. God cannot lie.

Hebrews 10:22-23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

The evil conscience is a mind that won’t receive the grace of God. The unbelieving mind is what is evil. While sin is evil, this sin ranks above all others because it is saying God’sword is not true. All preachers that don't believe that the blood of Jesus was enough, have an evil conscience of unbelief. Do not allow your mind to plant false information concerning your salvation by grace. God is faithful, that’s promised.

Hebrews 10:26-30

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses 'law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

If we sin willfully after we come into the knowledge of the truth, we are doomed to hell because we don't have an offering to get into the kingdom. I have listened to preachers claim this is talking about if you sin again after being saved you are doomed. If this was the case, Christ would have died in vain, because every person that has lived any small length of time after accepting Jesus would be doomed to hell. Because every man that continues to live will sin. Maybe if you were saved on your death bed, then you might not sin. He is warning that if after reading this book, reading the bible, and being taught this grace, if you allow Satan to lead you back into saving yourself, you will face a judging God.

The writer explains that men died under Moses by two witnesses when they broke certain laws. How much sorer a punishment to those who walk away from this good news. Because you are saying with your flesh that the Son’s blood is not all that. “My pastor’s word is more powerful that the blood.” You are saying, “My church beliefs are more important than the blood of Jesus.” When you count the blood of Jesus and unholy things, God says vengeance belongs to him and he will pay you according to your unbelief. I don't know exactly what the penalty will be, but it is worse than death. Because under the law they died in the presence of witnesses. Don't listen to the false teachings, listen to the word of God.

It is so evil to not believe in the blood of Jesus, that God says there is no other way for you to get into heaven. Because you allowed the evil voice to tell you that you were not totally forgiven. Stop listening to people going against the grace of God. We cannot live good enough to become holy. That long dress that men want you to wear will not save you. It is the blood of Jesus all by himself. Certain churches condemn talking about sin on a regular basic. There is no more condemnation to those who are in Christ. It is not the absence of makeup that makes one holy. It is not absense of alcohol that makes one holy. It is not the sins you don't commit that make you holy. It is your faith in the word of God concerning the shed blood of Jesus.

Hebrews 11: Faith in the Blood of Jesus

This chapter is normally used to inspire faith in all areas of our life. But it was written primarily to the church to help them believe the good news of the grace in all the previous chapters. God knew it would be hard for men to believe the new covenant. He could see the false teachers confusing the minds of his people. He saw all the sermons that said God will send believers to hell if they continue to make mistakes. Jesus knew it would take faith for a man to believe he has forgiven the believers sin forever. This is what saints have trouble believing:

Hebrews 8:12

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Hebrews 10:16-17

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

1 John 3:9

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him:and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

God knows that because of doubt we would not believe this good news, unveiled in chapter 11 of Hebrews. Other people had more difficult situations, yet they believed what he said to them. So he give details of men who believed him thinking small of their situations. Can you believe that God will not remember your sins? As we review this chapter ask yourself if it is harder to believe the scripture above or to go through what these saints went thought with their faith. Would you rather be cast into a lion den or believe he will not remember your sins? This is the point God is making in this chapter. He just want us to believe his easy to keep covenant.

God’s desire is for man to take him at his word. Do you believe the following?

1. You have everlasting life.

2. God no longer holds your sins against you.

3. God no longer remembers your sins.

4. His seed is in you and therefore you cannot sin with your spirit.

5. You are complete in him.

6. You are in Christ Jesus forever.

7. There is one body and one spirit.

8. You are always holy because of the blood of Jesus.

9. You have the spirit of his son, Jesus as your spirit in the head position.

10. You are bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh.

11. You are the body of the word of God. 12. You are God's and in his image.

13. Your father is God and therefore you are a god.

14. Christ’s spiritual members are in every believer.

15. God is the word and we are therefore the Word of God (Christ’s Epistle).

16. Jesus’s name has been given to his body or bride (Our last name is Jesus).

The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is simply about—The body of Christ believing the above by faith verses old covenant believers having faith in God through death trials. They had much bigger mountains than just to have faith in the grace of God. In the first ten chapters, God give the good news of grace. He gives the foundation truth concerning our unrighteousness, sins and iniquities. Decreeing in writing he will not remember ANYMORE. He tells us of his everlasting mercy. His everlasting forgiveness of our sins and iniquity. Then he makes it clear if we receive this good news we are saved forever. Now in the eleventh chapter he writes about men that, through death and near death experiences, acted on what he said. He is challenging the body to believe what he said about this grace for our salvation. God gives the body proof of other people in the past that had faith in his word. What is the easiest, believe he will remember yours sins no more or go through what is listed below:

1. Abel died in Faith

2. Enoch was raptured

3. Noah built an ark – never seeing rain

4. Abraham offered Isaac

5. Isaac was willing to die

6. Joseph risked death but told the truth

7. Moses’s mother hid him not afraid of death

8. Moses departed from Pharaoh’s daughter

9. Israel crossed the Red Sea

10. David defeated Goliath

11. Rahab hid the spies

12. Women had the dead raised

13. Daniel overcame the lion’s den

14. Hebrew boys went in and came out of the fire

15. Others were destitute, tortured, chained, killed and refusing release

16. These all died not having received the promise (Christ—the Spirit of Grace)

Hebrews 11:1-2

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Faith is the spiritual substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. If I was needing eyes because of blindness and had faith, the eyes would be in me in spirit form. These same eyes would come out of me by speaking the word of faith. This faith has creative power to manifest in seen form. The lepers had faith for new skin, it came out of faith and form into the seen realm because they believed. Whatever you have faith for, it will be seen. God will bring to pass everything we have faith for. There are some divine things such as the birth of Christ that men had faith for, but it was not in their lifetime. But God still gave them faith to receive. They died not having received the promises.

Now with the church, all the grace of our salvation is available right now by faith. God is saying you best receive it or you will pay a price in your life time for unbelief. Remember in the fourth chapter of Hebrews they died in the wildness not having received the promised land, because they would not believe Moses’s good news. How much worse shall it be for the born again believer that does not believe that his salvation is one hundred percent secure. With the Holy Ghost being a witness that God will not remember your sins no more. It is a necessity that we believe this great news. Let every man that says something different be judged by God. But we take the word of God over the word of man.

We have to take our faith and the good news and saturate it in our minds. Tell your mind, God doesn’t remember your sins anymore. Tell your mind that sin is mute with God where you are concerned. Tell your mind that you are one hundred percent righteous all the time. Remind your mind that the blood of Jesus paid for your sins one time and it lasts forever. Tell the preachers what they are saying doesn’t line up with the word of God. If it is a preacher, angel or anybody else hold on to the profession of your faith.

The Hebrew boys held on to their profession of faith. The continued to say, “Our God is able to save us.” They said even if he doesn’t, He is able to save us. I am like them, my God has already saved me, forgiven me, forgot my sins forever, and has given me everlasting life. His seed is in me forever and I am complete where salvation is the question. Why? Because I have faith in the word of God. Faith is my salvation. Faith is the proof that men cannot see. This salvation belongs to the body of God forever. Sin is no match at all because of the blood of King Jesus. Mystery, His blood is King over sin, sickness, poverty and all our enemies.

Hebrews 11:3

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

I can't comprehend how God created the heavens and the earth, I just believe what the word says. That is how it has to be with our eternal life, I can't see how I can make mistakes and God has already forgiven me. I can't understand how a holy God will not remember none of my wrongs again. I can't see how he could give me that kind of everlasting mercy. It even seems like he is giving me permission to sin, but that is not true, he just paid for my sins all at one time and it is paid in full. He just purchased me with his blood and declared me holy with his word. Not just for 30 years or 3000 sins but this salvation was paid in full forever. I am holy forever. I am righteous forever. There is power in the blood of King Jesus. The King’s blood reigns.

Hebrews 11:5-6

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Enoch was translated because he believed exactly what God told him. What did God tell him? The Lord told him that he would not die like other men, but rather God would rapture him off the earth. This man went against all odds and pleased God by believing him on something that he had never seen done. This faith pleased God. When we believe God, our faith pleases him and he always does exactly what he said he was going to do. Enoch represented a type of the church that will be on the earth when God raptures his people. Is forgiving us and making us holy in our sins too hard for The Lord? Are our sins more powerful than the blood of King Jesus? Are our sins more powerful than the word of God’s grace? The answer is heavens no.

Hebrews 11:7

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

This man had never seen any rain before. He just believed that it was going to rain a flood because of what God said. Our salvation had not been seen in fullness while we are on earth. We just need to take our God at his word. Noah proved he believed by working one hundred and twenty years on the ark. His faith in God is what saved him. Now we just have to believe by faith in the grace of God during our lifetime. Then we will see the salvation and our righteousness as it is. All the saints on the other side are witness to what I am writing about is truth. They have seen and are witnesses that our Father is a God of his word. Yes he loves his children so much he removed sins, his own laws, commandments, and everything that could keep us separated from his presence. He nailed them to Jesus on the cross, so we could come home as his body.

Colossians 2:14-15

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Yes he blotted out his own handwriting, laws and ordinances. So we could be sure to be one with him. There is no law or laws against his salvation for the believer. The judgment now comes when we don’t believe this good news is true. This is why Satan deceives so many preachers to condemn saints, so they can run into God’s judgment.

Hebrews 11:11-14

Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

God is bringing out that Sarah was about ninety years old but she laughed in belief when God told her she would have Isaac. This, my brothers and sisters, was harder to believe than it is for us to believe that God will not remember our sins anymore. God is giving the saints as example to help us believe his word. He wants us to know he is a god of his word. We know he is holy and hates sin. But he wants us to know he loves us and has chosen to save us by grace all along. He desires us to be word conscious not sin conscious.

All of these heroes of faith died not having received the promises. Yes Sarah got Isaac but she did not receive the spirit of Christ in her spirit. They did not receive the Holy Ghost as a gift from God. They embraced that one day this Christ would come and remove sins, laws, and ordinances. They knew that earth was a temporary place. They had their minds on heaven and being members of the body of Christ. They could see themselves as being the word of God in their future. They could see by faith the blood of God paying the price for man’s sins. Now if they could look forward and see that by faith. It should be easy for us to look back through the written word and have faith in the blood all along. The blood of King Jesus doesn’t need any help from us to save us. One thing the blood needs is our faith in God’s word of grace. Let the King of king’s blood rule in your mind.

Hebrews 11:17-19

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

When we have faith in God’s word we will believe anything and everything that he says or writea. This was the case with Abraham, he offered Isaac because he had faith that God would raise him from the dead. Why? Because God had told him it would be through Isaac that Jesus the seed would come. Yes Abraham was totally aware of the day we are in now. He could see me in Christ Jesus as a holy member. He saw the blood washing away the sin of the whole world. He saw the day that all a person would have to do is receive Jesus. I don't know about you but it is a whole lot easier for me to believe that God no longer remembers my sins than it would be for me to kill my only son.

Believing that God doesn’t remember our sins is the heart of every breakthrough. If God wanted us to be sin conscious when we pray, he would have never said, "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." If a person really believes that, it gives us great boldness to approach God by faith. When we pray now, we should be saying, Lord I thank you for forgiving me of my sins and not remembering them anymore. But because of our love for God, we should confess our sins to him. He doesn’t have to forgive us anymore for the penalty of sin, it is already done. However, it helps our fellowship with him. He is aware that we sin, he just doesn’t keep a record of remembrance. If he is not keeping a record neither should we keep a record. The key is I admit that I sin, but God has forgiven me. This my brother is what God calls truth.

1 John 1:7-10

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

There is a big difference between fellowship and relationship. When we walk in the light with each other our fellowship with God is right. The blood of Jesus cleanses our minds of all unrighteousness. While our spirit remains cleansed all the time, our mind gets out of fellowship with God. When we walk in darkness our fellowship is broken. This is the purpose of confessing our sins to God. Then the fellowship of our soul and our mind is restored by the blood. Faith in our mind is the main purpose of the word of God being preached. The spirit is complete and full of the word. It is also full of the gracious blood of King Jesus. Our spirit is the God son crying Abba Father.

Divine Justice Revealed

This is the reason we have to admit that without the blood, and the word I would be a sinner. Admit that I sin and thank God that he is not keeping a record. Thank God that he removed the laws out of the way so even if I do sin I cannot be held accountable by God. The ordinances and laws were removed by God where our salvation is concerned. There is no law against my holy spirit. Man’s laws still are in affect. So it is dumb to practice sinning just because God is not keeping a record. Divine justice through the world, man and everything else exist.

Divine justice will always exist. It is simply that sin is wrong and the penalty for sin is death. The blood removes the penalty of hell off the table for us. The blood is the proof that God will not hold you accountable for sins. However divine justice that is incorporated in the earth realm will judge men for their sins. Divine justice is in the dirt, men, animals, and all of this natural realm. For example, you kill a man, you will be locked up and receive a punishment for your sin. You commit adultery and get caught by a spouse you will pay. God is not keeping a record but man is keeping a record. What you sow will justify your harvest. You are the king of your harvest outside of the kingdom.

Divine justice are good spiritual laws set up by God in advance of creation. They are self-activated laws. God will not have to render a judgments it has already be set in place. For example, you plant a seed, the dirt already has this justice in it to grow the seed. However, if you kill someone and plant that seed, divine justice is in the dirt and it does not have to give you the just harvest. Remember this is exactly what happened to Adam in the beginning. God told him about divine justice and what would happen if he crossed divine justice.

Once Adam crossed divine justice, men, animals, wind, water, dirt, angels, devils and everything not mentioned has been working against man on this earth. The only one that can save you from this divine justice is God himself. With Noah, God saw the rain coming and helped Noah to build an ark that would save mankind. God did not send the flood, it came automatically because of divine justice where sin is concerned.

Not only are the wages of sin death, but divine justice has eternal hell attached to the judgment. God is not sending men to hell. Divine justice is sending men there're because Adam’s sin and they refuse to accept Jesus as Lord. Man must drink Jesus Christ’s blood and eat his body. The blood of Jesus is the only thing that can stop divine justice where hell is the judgment. My good behavior won’t keep me out of hell. Just because I am called a good person and do good things will not stop divine justice from sending me to hell. I need Jesus as my savior and high priest for ever.

Think of that, we need Jesus to be our high priest forever because of divine justice. Jesus lives forever as high priest to keep the way of eternal life for us. Even with the blood of Jesus, we follow our carnal mind, divine justice will wipe you off the planet before your time. You will end up in heaven before your God-planned time.

Romans 8:5-9

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Romans the eighth chapter is the same chapter that the Apostle Paul makes it clear that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk after the Spirit. See in verses five through nine a picture of divine justice. God is talking to the members of his body, warning them not to be carnal minded. The carnal mind leads to death. This death is because divine justice is alive even though Christ is living in our heart. Divine justice is still alive even after the blood of Jesus has been paid. Divine Justice is working against all evil no matter who it is coming from. Remember Satan was in the big house of heaven and sinned in his heart, and divine justice kicked him out quickly. Jesus said, “I saw him fall like lighting.” Just because we have a sure ticket to heaven doesn’t stop divine justice. Satan is not man’s biggest problem. Divine justice will send you to hell. Why Satan is just a tempter. Satan kills, steals and destroys, but he cannot send you to hell. Jesus said, “Rejoice that your name is written in the lamb’s book of life.”

Our flesh mind needs to be transformed into the mind of Christ. Yes I am saved forever, but I want to live long and accomplish the assignment of God. This can only happen as we follow our spirit and not our carnal mind. Another way to avoid divine justice is through faith in God’s mercy. Mercy can remove you from a judgment of divine justice. We have to remember that the same God of mercy was the one that set up divine justice. Divine justice is not bad it is good. Everything God has ever done was motivated by love. This love of divine justice rewards a just reward for every good seed we sow. You give your tithes and offering, divine justice will see to it that you get what God promised to you. Divine justice will make sure the windows of heaven are open in your life. Divine justice will make sure all of Malachi three is fulfilled in your life. I thank God for the wisdom of divine justice. I believe this book will help you in this area of your understanding.

The Passover Blood

Hebrews 11:27-29

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king:for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

Moses, through the wisdom of God, used the blood of animals to overcome divine justice coming into Egypt. God did not want to destroy the first born of the Egyptians. Divine justice was on their trail because of the covenant that God had made with Abraham. I will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you. When they blessed Israel, divine justice blessed them. When they cursed Israel, divine justice cursed them. After giving pharaoh every chance to stop enslaving Israel, God saw divine justice coming through that night. Knowing Israel had been in sin too.Therefore when divine justice came, it would judge them too. God gives them a divine secret to cause this just judgment to pass over them.

It was through the offering of the blood of the animals. By offering the blood to God, his saving spirit was in the blood. The blood was used by faith until such time as Christ would come. This death angel sent by divine justice passed over everyone that had the blood over their door post. Now God wants you to put your faith in the pure blood of Jesus. To not have faith in the blood alone brings divine justice into your life. Divine justice will respect the blood of his King, Jesus. King Jesus’s blood has power to reign forever. His blood has made us kings to reign over sin. The blood of King Jesus is in your spirit. This is the reason we are kings over sin. It took the blood of a King for me to be a king reigning over all my enemies.

Hebrews Twelve : Warning Concerning Divine Justice for Unbelief

Hebrews 12:1-5

1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

These witnesses he is talking about are all the heroes of faith in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. They used their faith to believe God’s word despite the impossible circumstances. We are to use our faith to trust completely in the finished work of Jesus. We are to believe God has paid the full price for our sins, and He will not remember them no more. It is not easy to do because of all of the evil words we have received over the years. How he will send us to hell for sinning. If we still sin, then we are going to hell. Preachers reinforcing the old covenant are using the law of Moses to send saints to hell. This book on the blood is washing men free.

The Holy Ghost in this chapter tells the Hebrews to lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily beset them. The weight and sin is the weight of Moses’s law, and the sin of unbelief in the New Covenant. Where in Hebrews 10:17 God said, “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." Because to carry around the law of Moses and all of your sins will beset you in your walk with God. While saved forever you will be burdened down with sins that you are commanded not to travel with. When we can be flying with God carrying out this good news, many are driving a tractor with a wagon attached full of their sin. Praying to God to forgive them. It is already done, go ride with the Almighty, deliver this good news.

Then he tells us to look to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith. God desire us to see Jesus as having already finished the work. He totally resisted sin until blood came out of his body without a nail. He refused to brake the old covenant but fulfilled every law of Moses on our behalf. He was not being tested for himself but for the body of Christ. The Holy Ghost is saying to respect what Jesus has accomplished. While it is to our advantage to resist sin, that will not save you. In fact, for it to go on your record is an insult to the spirit of Grace. This insult calls on divine justice to chasten you until you get the understanding of the cross.

God will allow you to be chastened and he will rebuke you himself. This chasten, he says, is not something you want to go through. Because he loves you he will discipline you until you have faith in new covenant promises. It is never a good idea to reject the grace of God. Israel did not believe in the goodness either, and died in the wilderness because of their rejection. Rejecting good news will set you back on your breakthrough. This rebuke is not for your many sins but because of your one sin, unbelief of the new covenant.

Hebrews 12:14-16

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

Then God continue to warn the Hebrews to be at peace with men. He tell them to live holy through the grace of God. Trying to keep them from the weight of self-righteousness. Which will brake your peace with men that are in freedom by the grace of God. He tell them don't be a fornicator like Esau who gave up his birth right for morsel of meat. Esau wanted to do things his way instead of respecting the grace of God given to him through his birthright. Being the elder son he should have been Israel rather than Jacob. But he thought little of his birthright and was rejected by God.

This new covenant of grace without the works of the law is our birthright. Salvation is mine just because I am born again. I have a right to be saved forever because of my faith in the finished work of Jesus. We don't have to attached our own righteousness to the birthright. When we try to do this, divine justice makes sure that we don't get our prayers answered because we don't believe the most important thing. The blood of Jesus paid the price in full is number one. We can't get the blessing of college when our faith is stuck in the first grade. Esau wanted to please his father as well, but he wanted to do it his way. How? Having no respect for the blessing that was due him. Then he had no respect for his birthright. This cost him both.

Genesis 27:34-36

And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. 35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. 36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times:he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?

Esau represent every self-righteous person trying to please God with they own righteousness. While Esau was hunting to impress his father, Jacob slipped in by faith and grace and received the blessing. God is not impressed with an Esau spirit. Because Esau has no respect for the blessing or his birthrights. Grace, mercy, and favor in the kingdom is our birthright. When we try to obey the law and work for salvation we run into what Esau ran into. We miss out on what we could have had on earth. God, through the writer says, “Esau’s ways he hate, but Jacob’s I love.” Jacob did not go hunting and working to please his father. He just obeyed the instruction of his mother. Grace is the birthright of the believer. We don’t have to work for our birthright, it is free. God loves those that receive his grace.

John 8:7-11

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Just as it is today, the preachers of the law were the biggest wall blocking men from getting into the kingdom. These preachers catch the lady in the act and try to get Jesus to stone her based on the law of Moses. Jesus tells them to let him that be without sin cast the first stone. These words from Jesus would be the pattern for the new covenant. Jesus constantly told them he came to fulfill the law of Moses. They refused to except him as the Christ. So they continued to tempt him with laws that would no longer be in use.

He told these preachers on many occasion that unless they believe him and except him, they would have no part in the kingdom. Today it is the same way, men blocking the door of salvation with the law of Moses. Salvation is free and it is only through the grace of God. Jesus is the door of grace that every man must go through. If we try to get in any other way, we become a thief and a robber. Just stay in if you are in and receive your blessings. Don't allow those on the outside to preach or teach you out of the kingdom. Great judgment through divine justice will reward all that is outside of grace.

Hebrews 12:22-29 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 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, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

This chapter ends by warning the saints to believe in the grace of God. If not, you will be judged by God because of unbelief. In the old covenant they were judged when they sinned and broke the law of Moses. In the new covenant, we are judged when we reject the good news of grace. The writer indicates in past scripture that we have come to the heavenly Jerusalem. To the church of the first born and men who are made perfect. Where the blood of Jesus testifies that we are made perfect by his sacrifice. Then he warns us not to refuse he that said you are already holy and perfect.

The writer then begins to talk about the judgment that men received when they would not receive Moses’s words. Indicating that the blood words of Jesus are greater and therefore will cost a greater punishment. It is just the opposite of the old. They paid because that did not keep the laws of Moses. The body is judged when we don't believe the good news of grace without works. What a dumb thing to allow Satan and men to lead members to this judgment. It’s like somebody let you out of jail through mercy, then you allow a man to take you back to court to be tried again. The judge and district attorney have giving you your freedom and you allow your pastor, friends, mother or any crossed up person to carry you back through the court system. Who the son has set free is free indeed.

God declares he will shake the heavens and the earth one more time. This shaking will be the judgment on the saints for rejecting the grace of God. This shaking has been hidden for many generations. Yes God will deal with sinners by judgment, but will start in the house of God. I encourage you, if you are not on the grace side, run to the blood of Jesus. The blood is the only thing that will cover this shaking. Your righteousness will be totally consumed by the fire of judgment. God says, “Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” For our God is a consuming fire. The grace of God is the key to salvation and blessing on earth.

Hebrews Thirteen: Walk in Love with All Saints

Hebrews 13:1-2

Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Good things happen when we walk in love with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Many, he said have entertained angels unaware. They key is regardless of our members’ race, church home, and other differences, we are to love them continually. The love for the brother proves we have everlasting life.

We are encouraged to help fellow members of the body of Christ. This love is real and not greedy. It is love that is liberal. This love really cares about the health and prosperity of fellow Christians first. God wishes above all things that we prosper and be in good health, even as our way of thinking prospers.

Remember, Hebrews was written to help believers to see that their salvation is secure without the works of the law. It details how Christ, by himself, paid the price for our sins with his own blood. This was accomplish by one holy offering alone. God makes it clear that this blood of Jesus pleases him. Our Father wants all of his true children to be grace conscience instead of sin conscience.

Finally God gave us Hebrews eleven to show us how power faith is. This was used as an example to us to use faith in his word. He want the believer to trust him with their spirit, soul, and whole heart. Then he warns us of the chastisement that we will receive if we decide to despise his grace. This, he makes clear, will put us in the zone of Esau as a fornicator. Why? Because we married or became one with God by his grace. Then we turned around and fornicated with the law of sin and death. God put it in writing that punishment will come on everyone that despise the spirit of Grace. Don't turn from the grace of God for anyone. Hold on to the profession of your faith.

The Seven Sheadings of the Blood of Jesus and Their Application

1. Jesus shed blood like sweat in the garden of Gethsemane.

Luke 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

In the garden of Eden, Eve was accosted by the serpent, Satan, and she was deceived into eating of the forbidden fruit. Then Adam came along, and knew that he was not duped into eating of the fruit, he made a conscious choice to partake of it, a decision to go against God, and when he did so, that brought sin into the world. Thereby giving Satan a place in this world. Jesus then sweat blood in the garden of Gethsemane and in doing so, He reversed what Adam had done in the garden of Eden. How? Adam opened the door for sin to come into the world and Jesus sweat great drops of blood in Gethsemane to give us a way out from the sin in the world. He did so right at that very moment because just as Adam made a conscious decision to partake of the fruit and bring sin in, Jesus was making a conscious decision to be the sacrifice to remove that sin. He made us free right at that very moment in that garden, despite great fear. He spoke; saying, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless “Not my will, but thine, be done.” Unlike Adam, who made a decision to go against the will of God and choosing his own will instead, Jesus, even in such tremendous pain and agony stated, “Your will be done.” Jesus undid what Adam had done so long ago in another garden. Those great drops of blood shed in that garden can cleanse us and bring us into the will of our God. Pray those great drops of the blood of Jesus’s over your family and loved ones. This blood was also shed for our finances because of our sweat and work of our hands.

2. Jesus shed His blood from the 39 stripes upon His back.

John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Jesus bled from the whipping He endured at the whipping post, the scourging, by which we are healed. We have all been taught this teaching often, by His stripes we are healed physically. So we know to pray the blood of the stripes over our bodies health issues. These stripes healed in every area of our life. We received a new spirit and heart. These striped paid the price for our mind to be healed through receiving the mind of Christ. These stripes were not only for our body to be healed, but for our heavenly body in due season.

3. Internal bleeding.

But it says that Jesus was bruised for our iniquities also. Wounded for our transgressions. Not only did Jesus shed His blood by the stripes upon His back, but He was bruised and battered inside for our iniquities; wounded inside as well as outwardly for our transgressions. This blood is the divine exchange for all our faults. Jesus bled internally from such a severe beating. It is this internal shedding of blood that purges us in the inside of iniquity (repeated sinful ways). Yes Jesus paid for our repeated sinful ways. We like to say when a person really gets saved their should not be any more iniquity (repeated sinful ways), it is sad but we still have some iniquities after salvation. Jesus paid for this in advance also. Apply the internal blood of Jesus in your life and family, that the blood of Jesus, shed internally for iniquities and transgressions, flows through the bodies purging of all sin. Washing internally, the hearts, souls, and body of all sin, and making clean, as white as snow.

4. Bloodshed from the head of King Jesus.

John 19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

Picture this crown being shoved down upon Jesus’s head. The blood running down into His eyes and ears. Those thorns so long and thick piercing his head, that if were not for His skull, they may have pierced into His brain. Apply the blood from the crown of thorns of Jesus over your eyes, ears and mind, that you be opened to the truth of His word and act on it, pierce the minds with the blood of Jesus shed from those thorns. Yes this blood set us free from worry. We don't have to be troubled about money, bills, sickness, trails or anything, because the blood from his head cleanse our mind and heart from worry.

5. His hands being nailed to the cross.

Habakkuk 3:3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. Habakkuk 3:4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

The blood shed from the hands was done so that our hands would prosper in everything we touch. Applying Jesus’s blood to our hands caused us to forever be cleansed in the eyes of God. Therefore, in everything we put our holy hands to it shall prosper. When we lift up holy hands we thank God for the nail wounds in Jesus hands. The hiding place of our power is in our hands. Like God, we have horns coming out of our spiritual hands.

6. His feet being nailed to the cross.

I apply this blood, by speaking the word over Christ’s body. This blood is also significant to the word that we are given every place we put the sole of our feet, so again prosperity. It was shed to break the curse of poverty and gain favor wherever you go. We should keep our feet covered with the Gospel of prosperity.

John 19:34 - But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

I personally take this blood spill to be symbolic of it being done, finished. Jesus is the anointed one of God who removes and destroys the burdens, removes and destroys the yokes. He is the yoke destroying, curse removing Christ! When He took His last breath, it was finished, complete, all sins, burdens, curses, iniquities, all bondage of every kind was destroyed. Jesus is referred to by His blood and as the living water as well. Both blood and water came forthwith from His side. This pouring out of both washes us clean inside and out. This mixture poured forth after death in Christ when pierced, but it is His blood that gives us life, and life more abundantly. He says living water shall pour out from our belly.

John 7:38 - He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Apply this blood over your life, for Jesus died on the cross that we may live, and that out of our bellies will flow living water. The living water comes from our speaking spirit. This water is a type of the spiritual blood (life) of Jesus.

19. It is the means by which Jesus washes us (Rev. 1:5; 7:14).

20. It is the means by which we overcome the accuser of the brethren (Rev. 12:11).

REVIEW NOTES

Chapter 7

THE BLOOD OF KING JESUS AND PROSPERITY

The blood of Jesus was shed primarily for the prosperity of his own body. We were lost because of Adam, but saved because of Jesus. God desires more than anything else that we prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. Many Satan-influenced preachers teach against prosperity because of blindness in their flesh mind. Adam was like a king on earth before he failed. For man to be restored to his king status it would take the blood of a holy king. This king is the king of Israel, King Jesus.

King Jesus is king of both heaven and earth. His blood shed qualified every member of his body to be a king. Becoming kings put all of his body in royal status. This qualified every member to have an share of all the kingdom of God. Every king will be rewarded based on his work on earth. All will reign on earth now and forever as king of a given territory. Prosperity belongs unto the saints by way of our kingly inheritance.

Jesus is Lord and king of kings. Because Jesus is God, his bodily members of heirs of both God and joins with Christ as men. The saints are like shareholders of all things in heaven and earth. Whether there be life, death, things present, things to come, things on earth or things in heaven, we are joint heirs with Christ. God, by making us members of Christ, put us in an elder son position. Therefore, giving us rights with the first born son of God. We are the Church of the first born. Even today we see elder sons of the king inheriting the throne. If we were not resurrected with Christ we would be in a second position. This would disqualify the members from being kings, and having birthrights.

The inheritance was promised to the seed of Abraham. God said, “Seed and not seeds as many.” There is gross darkness in the body of the gracious revelation. This information is spiritually discerned. God in our spirit raised us up together “in Christ.” For this generation, our bodies, soul, and old spirit was not even born when this took place in the resurrection. When King Jesus was raised from the dead our spirit was in him. The spiritual blood of King Jesus was and is flowing through every member of his body. There is only one spiritual body for the Son of God. This kingly blood connection God used to make every born again spirit one with Jesus. As we have many members of our body, so is it with Christ. With this in mind, lets define our prosperity:

Prosperity/towb (Hebrew) - From 2895; good (as an adjective) in the widest sense; used likewise as a noun, both in the masculine and the feminine, the singular and the plural (good, a good or good thing, a good man or woman; the good, goods or good things, good men or women), also as an adverb (well):-beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, at ease, X fair (word), (be in) favour, fine, glad, good (deed, -lier, liest, -ly, -ness, -s), graciously, joyful, kindly, kindness, liketh (best), loving, merry, X most, pleasant, + pleaseth, pleasure, precious, prosperity, ready, sweet, wealth, welfare, (be) well ([-favoured])

Prosperity/shalah - (Hebrew) - second form being used in Job 3:26; a primitive root; to be tranquil, that is, secure or successful:

-be happy, prosper, be in safety.

Prosper ( tsalach ) Hebrew - A primitive root; to push forward, in various senses (literally or figuratively, transitively or intransitively):--break out, come (mightily), go over, be good, be meet, be profitable, (cause to, effect, make to, send) prosper (-ity,

-ous, -ously).

Prosper (yoo-od-o'-o) Greek - from a compound of 2095 and 3598; to help on the road, i.e. (passively) succeed in reaching; figuratively, to succeed in business affairs:--(have a) prosper(-ous journey).

yoo - (greek) neuter of a primary εὖς (good); (adverbially) well:-good, well (done).

hod-os (Greek) - apparently a primary word; a road; by implication, a progress (the route, act or distance); figuratively, a mode or means:--journey, (high-)way.

After reading the definition of the word prosperity, you can see why God desires above everything else that we prosper and be in health even as our souls grow. Prosperity brings heaven’s living, thinking, and pleasures to Christ’s members on earth. Prosperity means to be loaded with an abundant supply of everything needed. It means to go forward with the goodness of God before you and following you. When a son of God is going forward with prosperity, they have nothing missing or lacking. What is a king without prosperity.

Prosperity means to have the whole pie. It means to not have anything missing in your life. Prosperity mean to be rich in every area of your life. First it means to be rich toward God. To be rich in wealth. To be rich in health. To be rich in your soul with the wisdom of God. As the definition points out, prosperity makes one full of joy and happiness. Yes the joy of The Lord is our strength. When your body is healthy that brings joy and happiness to you and your loved ones. When you have wealth to give away that brings happiness to you and everyone that you help. King Jesus desires for his body to healthy and wealthy now.

The purpose of prosperity is to be blessed, and be a blessing. When Jesus came down he walked in total prosperity all the days of his public ministry. Except for his last few days of testing, he walked in total prosperity. Yes Jesus was full of wealth, money, health, healing power, and resurrection power. Whatever a man needed Jesus was loaded with that very substance. That is one of the reason so many people were attracted to him. He told them on one occasion, “You are following me because of the wealth of food.” Others followed him because he was loaded with healing power. Some following him because he was rich with power to cast out the devil. Some came because he had resurrection power.

King Jesus was so rich that he had money in the fishes mouth. He told his dispel to go to a certain lake and the first fish you catch would have money in his mouth. When he needed transportation, he just sent disciple for the donkeys. When he needed the upper room he did not have to make reservation because it was leased out to the tenants. Yes this man Jesus was God the owner of the whole world. Most men during Jesus time could only own what they had for about 120 years. God wants us to reign as kings on the earth now. He wants us to use his word, power and authority to rule and reign over this world. This is why he made us, to be kings and priests. King Jesus is in and the head of all his members in heaven and earth. When we rule then King Jesus is ruling. I beg you, let King Jesus rule through your body, soul and spirit.

2 Corinthians 8:9-10

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

Paul tells the church in Corinth that Jesus was rich but he became poor and that through his poverty we can become rich. We have to get it in our minds that Jesus was rich and not poor. Jesus is the owner of everything. When he came down from heaven he became poor in a sense. Then while he was rich on earth, he gave it all up and became poor to pay the price for the church. I refuse to allow the spirit of the antichrist to talk me out of what the blood paid for on my behalf.

There are Basically Three Types of Prosperity:

1. Spiritual Prosperity - before I excepted Jesus I was poor in spirit. My spirit was on this earth without God. Without Jesus prosperity in my spirit I was on my way to hell. The rich man, Jesus, paid for in full with his own blood for me to have a new spirit. Then on top of that, He gave me the Holy Spirit. I now have all of the fruit of the Spirit. My spirit is loaded with God. Yes, praise the Lord I am rich toward God. I am the word of God by inheritance. I am an heir of God and joint heir with Christ Jesus. I am so loaded in my spirit that God has assigned me to give life to dead spirits. Yes, spiritual prosperity is having the wealth in spirit to be a life giving spirit.

The body of Christ has been blessed with all spiritual blessing. While a spiritual blessing cannot be seen with the natural eye, it is the highest form of prosperity. The blood of Jesus paid for it in full. King Jesus made us with his on blood. He made us kings and blessed us with his all spiritual blessings. It is these blessings that we should use to get seen prosperity on earth. Jesus gave every member of his body the Holy Ghost. When we received the Holy Ghost, all spiritual blessings came with him. The gifts of the spirit and the fruit of the spirit came with the Holy Ghost. The best gift a king can receive is the Holy Ghost.

The spirit of faith came with the Holy Ghost. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. With the spirit of faith, came everything we will ever desire in spirit form. This is just a flash to the mind of what spirit blessings really are. What is a substance? What is the evidence of thing hoped for? This substance and evidence is in spirit form. Example, if you were believing God for a house and you have faith, the house is in you in spiritform. This would be the spiritual substance of the house. Spiritual substance like physical substance is a specific substance. A brick house has brick as substance. The brick house in your heart by faith produce a substance for a brick house. The blind men that wer healed by Jesus in the gospels, had substance for eyes in their heart. The evidence that is yours is your faith in God. If you have faith, then in the spirit you have spiritual substance and the evidence that it is yours.

Hebrews 11:13-17

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God:for he hath prepared for them a city. 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

All the believers died not having received the promise of the spirit. This spirit consisted of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came loaded with the spirit of Christ, our spirit, and all spiritual blessings. The blessings included the spirit of faith, the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of mercy, the spirit of grace, the spirit knowledge, the spirit of understanding, the spirit of counsel and all things in heaven. He brought the kingdom of heaven into our spirit. Israel died not having received the promise of these spiritual blessings. They embraced them and saw themselves as traveling through the earth looking for the spiritual city in heaven. God gave all the spiritual blessings to the church. Every member has what the early saints had by faith. They died not having seen manifestation. But they had those things inside and therefore it is theirs now.

Ecclesiastes 3:11-15

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Solomon explained how manifestation from the spirit realm to the seen realm comes to past. First, he tells us that God has already made everything. Not only has God already made everything, but he made it beautiful for a specific season. What God has made was created out of spiritual substance. This is seen because he put the substance in the heart of the man. Is substance not real because it is in spirit form? Whether it be a house, new skin, eyes, legs, fish, bread, oil, or any other spiritual substance it is real. Solomon explains that he put it in man to hide it from him. This being if the man is evil, God doesn’t want him to have the thing. Knowing that the evil mind will use the blessing in the wrong way. You would not want your three year old to drive a car that you have bought for him. So God put it in us for the due season. Then God required from us what he has put in us. God seeks that which he completed for you before the foundation of the world. Can you see this? If so, then you can see yourself loaded with all spiritual blessings.

The blind men received the eyes from their heart that God prepared for them before the foundation of the world. The lepers received their skin that God prepared for them before the world began. Mary received the wine for the wedding feast that God prepared before the foundation of the world.

Faith is the tool that we use to pull out of our hearts what God put in our hearts. This is why God says, “Let the poor say I am rich.” Because wealth is in the saints already. Faith is the substance of these things in you. Be it unto you according to your faith. Words are what we have used to get out of the heart what God has put in there.

Romans 10:8-11

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

The same way we used the word and our heart to be born again, is the same process to get out of you what God has put in you. You have to believe God with your heart and speak it out of you with your mouth. If we believe in him we shall not be ashamed. Manifestation will come out of us. The tongue is the tool we have to use to draw out of the spirit realm into the seen realm. The life of all of our dreams are depending on the words of faith coming out of our mouth. Out of the spirit flows rivers of spiritual substances. These substances are being changed into seen substances. It is the spirit that gives life to what God put in you. It is the spirit that gives manifestation. This is the reason men should always pray, confess and speak the word. Words are vehicles used to transfer from the heart to the seen realm.

Our Spirit is the Blessing

While everyone is looking for the blessing, we have it in our heart. We as believers have to see that our spirit is the promised blessing of Abraham. We have the treasure of all things inside of our spirit. God told Abraham, I am going to bless you and make you the blessing. Through you Abraham shall all the families of the earth be blessed. He died not seeing the manifestation of this promise. Glory to God, his seed came forward and his name is Jesus.

Galatians 3:16

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Galatians 3:27-29

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Can you see the blessing? The seed of Abraham is the promise and the blessing. Through this seed will all families of the earth be blessed. God promised this to Abraham and even now it is being fulfilled. The key to seeing that Christ and his members are one seed and not many. Yes we are the offspring that God has chosen to be the blessing. It is the seed in us that is neither male or female, Jew nor Greek, but one anointed blessed seed. If you are Christ's then are "YOU" are Abraham’s seed. Our spirit is the seed of Abraham. While we have different bodies to carry the seed, it is the same seed, with all members of Christ's body. When we see all of the members attached spiritually, our thinking will never be the same.

A Glimpse of Our Wealth

1. The seed is the heir (Romans 8)

2. Joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8)

3. Own all things (I Corinthians 3:21-22)

4. Crown with God glory (Hebrews 2)

5. Over all of the works of God hand (Hebrews 2)

6. The world to come is subject to us (Hebrews 2)

7. Highest position in the kingdom ( Ephesians 2)

8. All things in heaven and earth is ours (I Corinthians 3)

9. God’s Body forever ( I Corinthians 12)

10. The Heir ( Galatians 4)

11. The Word of Christ/God (2 Corinthians 3)

12. The Image of God (2 Corinthians 3)

2. Soul Prosperity - The blood of Jesus paid the price for Christ’s body to have the mind of Christ. Next to spiritual prosperity, this is the highest form of prosperity. It is this area that is missing in so many preachers that are preaching against prosperity. They are still poor in their mind. They are worthy of the word of God to renew their mind, but they listen to the spirit of the antichrist and therefore they refuse the word of truth.

The mind is the middle key to prosperity for the whole man. The spirit of man is complete. God gave man all that he needs in his new spirit and new heart. My spirit is overflowing with living wealth for my mind. Out of our spirit flows rivers of living water. One of the things living in this water is divine information for the mind. Not every man has the wealth of God in their spirit. The body of Christ is loaded with prosperity for the mind. All of the preaching and teaching to the saints is for the mind. Because the spirit is renewed by the word in it day by day. The spirit is complete, full and overflowing with everything.

For a man to prosper in this natural world, his soul has to be loaded with the prosperity of God. This prosperity is crying to come out of our born again spirit. If man drinks in his mind from the spirit of the antichrist, then he will continue to be poor in this life. Even the rich of this world have soul prosperity for wealth. That is the reason that they have it. Satan uses blindness to cause poor Christians to stay poor by loading their mind with false teachings against prosperity.

Proverbs 22:6-7

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. 7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

These are the reasons the book of Proverbs tell us to train our children in the way they should go. There are two ways to go, Christ’s way or the antichrist’s way. God’s way is a way full of total prosperity for now and eternity. Satan’s way is for poverty now and total damnation later. While Satan will allow the wicked to prosper, it is only to use what they have to fight against the kingdom of God.

God want us to tell our children that lenders ruler over the borrowers. Another way of saying this is, the rich rule over the poor. If you want to be down and out, just allow poverty to rule in your life. It is the most deadly force that Satan uses against the church. Living in poverty is a twin brother to slavery. In some cases of severe poverty, it is worse than slavery. Because even in slavery, if you have a rich master, you can eat good and have shelter. In poverty, many wonder in the streets and are beggars. Many chose to sell their bodies and all kinds of evil just to survive. So it is important for our children to know that poverty is a killer.

3. Physical or Seen Prosperity -This form of prosperity is the one men think is number one, When it actually is number three, behind first, spiritual prosperity and second, soul prosperity. The reason being, spiritual and soul prosperity stay with you forever. Physical prosperity can last 130 years at the most. In most cases men die before 100. This prosperity can be such a deceiver. Men receive this prosperity and it goes directly to their head, thinking they are better, smarter and wiser than everybody else. They look down on the poor and use material wealth to rule over the poor. Now I am talking only about the wicked rich.

Poverty is What Destroys the Poor

Proverbs 10:15-16

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. 16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

While the poor all over the world claim their destruction is because of the rich, hatred, there country, prejudice people, governments, Satan and other sources, it is poverty. Satan uses all of the above and more to keep men into poverty. But poverty is the killer for the poor. The only way for this to change is a prosperity mindset. If your mind keeps on blaming other people and things, there is no way out of poverty.

The Kingdom of God’s purpose is to change the poverty mindset. Because he knows Satan, the wicket rich, and government will not give you what you need to come out of poverty. The mind has to be renewed with thoughts of prosperity, imaginations and ideas. These other evil and worldly forces load the poor continually with a poverty mentality. It is sad to say, even at church, men are being taught against prosperity. Then the news media plant evil seeds against prosperity between races and political parties.

While the poor fight amongst themselves, the wicked rich continue to get richer. We see it all the time; blacks against whites and vice versa. The race card is one of the main cards Satan uses to keep the poor in their poverty. Poverty doesn’t care what you are, it is simply the destruction of the poor.

The Race Card in America

Black Race

Poor blacks will fight against other poor blacks in their community. This is because of the lack in the community. Don't let a preacher preach the bible way of prosperity, they will be rejecting it in the highest form. Yes, the crawfish mentality is the main reason in the mindset of poor blacks in America. It is not the white man’s fault for all the destruction. It is the poverty mentality. Black Americans, can do better than what weare doing.

It takes a prosperity mindset to bring forth the change. We have to have it in our mind that we can do all things through Christ, that gives me strength. We have to believe that all things are possible with God. We have to know that our God is big enough to overcome all hatred against our race. We have to see we are not fighting against a white man, but against principality, powers and spiritual sickness in high places.

Yes, Satan uses white people to keep blacks in poverty. However he uses black people as well. The focus on the race card is not the answer to poverty. It is the renewing of the mind that defeats poverty. We have to understand that all men are wicked in their flesh mind. Listen to what God said about all races of men thousands of years ago:

Genesis 6:3-8

And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

God could not change the heart of man from his evil ways. These men included every race on the planet. If God had to wipe men off the planet to stop evil imagination, evil thoughts and evil ways, what can a man do to stop a man from being evil? In every race of people there are good and bad. We all have the evil tendency to lean toward those who appear closer to our flesh features. That is just life. When we men look at boxing, who do you pull for ninety nine percent of the time? If you are black, you pull for the black. If you are white you pull for the white. If you are brown you pull for the brown. These ways are part of our flesh mindset, so people will always carry certain type prejudices. So we all must get over that.

The point being, we can't change other people but we can change the way we think. We have to see ourselves owning the banks. We have to see ourselves as the presidents and CEOs of companies. Then we have to take the wisdom of God and make the changes according to the word of God. God has principles in place that will destroy poverty. I will agree that in this country, the deck is stacked against the black race. We are the most despised race in the country. When I say despised, I mean hated, disrespected, dishonored and thought little of. This is just the facts of living during this season on the earth. The Jews in Egypt during their time were the same way. The white man during that same time and later had to fight the same battle. That is mainly the reason white folks are in America now. The early Christian church in the east was bound by different kings in the east. Many Christian pilgrims said, “We are going to the west, where we will have only one king, King Jesus.” It is all about your freedom. You have to fight for your freedom, no matter what the problems are.

Black have always known that education is a way out of poverty. What education does is change the way you think. Education gives the ignorant knowledge. The word says, "My people perish because of a lack of knowledge." Yes the right information is the path out of poverty. While secular education is one of the main paths out of poverty, it is not the best way out of poverty. Jesus is the way, truth, life and the light. His word shines as a light to the pathway out of poverty.

Why knowing what to do is good, wisdom is applying the knowledge you have acquired. God has a divine system for prosperity and wealth set up for anyone that believes and applies it. It is this system that have been rejected by so many blacks in American. We will go to church, shout, sing, and dance but we won't apply the principle of God for success in our life. This system is the same system that was used to get Israel out of slavery. It is all tied to the blood of Jesus.

Let’s review once again this system of prosperity designed by God. Israelites were slaves in Egypt as blacks were in America. The problems for a people in slavery were worse than it is in 2014 for blacks in America. God did something for them that changed their lives in one day. It took another forty years however, to change their mindset from poverty to prosperity. It’s sad to say, but after around one hundred fifty years of freedom, many blacks in America are still stuck in the wildness in their mind. Which keeps you from going forward in life. Let’s take a look at what God taught the Jewish race:

1. Seed is the Key

The key to prosperity has always been tied in the divine principle of seed sowing. When you see any kind of seed, it is loaded with the creator future. If the seed is sown into the prescribed soil it will continue to produce. Wealth comes through the right seed being sown. One oak tree has in it a potential forest. If the seed from the tree is planted, it produces a harvest. If it is consumed it produces no future at all. Same with a corn seed, unless it is planted in the right soil it produces no fruit. If it is eaten, no future corn comes from the seed. If it is sown there is an unlimited supply of corn. The same is true with money and wealth. Black folks per capita are the biggest consumers in the country. If we are to come out of poverty that mindset has to change. There are all kinds of seeds, money seed, deed seed, work seed, word seed, wisdom seed and various other kind of good seed. Seeds have to be planted for them to produce. I planted seventeen years of my life in education. That seed produced and is producing a continual harvest for me.

Malachi 3: 8 - 12

8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse:for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts. God through the tithe and offering principals is the fastest way out of poverty and oppression. God says, “He will open up the windows of heaven.” This is indicating that you will have help from heaven. Angels will be dispersed on your behalf. If they have to bring down mammon from heaven it will happen. God is saying grace will be granted from heaven. He will give you favor with your oppressors. God gave Israel favor with their oppressors Egypt. Then God promise to rebuke the devourer, bless your ground and bring forth your harvest at the right time. God words are steadfast when we apply the principals. This is how you apply the blood of Jesus. Do you want all nations to call you blessed?

2. Passover Seed

Exodus 12:21-23

Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

While God could have any system he wanted for prosperity, He choose giving and receiving. With the master refusing to allow Israel’s slaves to leave Egypt, God raised up a preacher and he told them exactly what to do. Moses tell them to get a lamb and give it to The Lord. This was the key to getting Israel out from under the bondage of their masters. This principle of sowing to God was then pointing to the future blood of Jesus.

When they obeyed God, death came on Egypt and passed over them. The lamb represented the dying of Jesus as the seed of God. The blood of the lamb represented the blood of Jesus. This is why it is so important to understand this system of giving to God verses giving to self or other sources. God Almighty is the soil designed for the seed to be sown. When this seed was sown to him, He, as the heavenly soil became one with the blood and flesh of the animal’s seed. It was like he became a spiritual body of the seed sown. When God became one with flesh, it was like he was in them when they ate the animal. Plus he was the spiritual body of that blood of the lamb on their door post. So death had to pass over them because of the blood seed becoming one with God. The death of the seed in heavenly soil brought God on the scene. Death passed over Israel but destroyed all the first born of Egypt.

Ecclesiastes 11: 1 - 6 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth:and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. 6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

Solomon teaches us to plant our seed. He preaches give to seven, and also to eight: because we don’t know what kind of evil is coming on the earth. What does sowing seeds have to do with evil coming? Seeds are what God has chosen to cause evil to pass over you. Sowing to God gives Him a divine right to rule on your case in the time of evil. Just as it was for Israel, evil came but God rebuked evil because of the seed they sowed to him with their sacrifice. The death of the seed commands a resurrection from God. It is what he has chosen to remind him of the death of his seed, King Jesus. Every seed you give to God is a covenant reminder of the death and resurrection of his seed. Israel did it looking forward for the seed to come. The Church sows looking back on the seed that was sown. God gives the increase because of our faith in sowing into his kingdom. This is how to apply the blood of King Jesus. God gives every seed sown his own body. The body is given based on how we please him.

3. Giving to God Means Death to the Seed

1 Corinthians 15:35-38

But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

The key to multiplication is the death of the seed. Jesus is the pattern for all multiplication. For this reason God has all multiplications set through the sowing of seeds. After the death of the seed comes the resurrection of the new body. This body in the future harvest. Jesus, the seed of God, was sown in the earth as one holy seed. After three days this seed was resurrected and God gave the seed a body, the body of Christ. When Jesus was justified in spirit again he was connected with his Father. This one spirit (seed) of God began to multiply even as corn seed after being planted. Every member of the body of Christ came from this seed and now is one with this seed. This is a principle of seed time and harvest. Seed time and harvest is all about the blood or resurrected life of Jesus. Every time anyone use the principals of God’s preordained system it brings forth multiplication.

The scripture above makes it plain that the seed is not a life giving seed unless it is dead or is sowing. Then Paul states that the seed that is sown will come back with a different body. A body that God gives to "every" seed. The seeds sown always get the return based on how the sower pleased God.

When the preacher is preaching and teaching prosperity through giving, it is a principle and not a scam to get your money. The key to our harvest is believing the principle of seedtime and harvest. In any church, race or community where the people don't sow seed into the church, that place is doomed to poverty and all kinds of hard times. This is a fact and not just a comment. This result can be seen thought out the bible. Don’t allow the scamming false preachers to cause you not to work the principals. As with everything, the thief comes to scam, kill and destroy. Some preachers use the word wrong to take from the givers. God in you, will identify the thief.

4. The Tithe and the Blood of Jesus

Some might ask the question what does the tithe have to do with the blood? What we have to remember is God sowed Jesus to redeem the body of Christ. The tithe is a token in the New Covenant to God, that we believe in the giving principal. It is also a way of thanking God for sowing King Jesus. Plus it is a way to support the kingdom of God on earth. Whatever country, state, city you live in, there is at a tax system used to support that place. The tithe is the minimum we should give to the Kingdom of God. Every church or ministry that stand for Jesus need support to continue to do the work of the kingdom. This work is ordained by the King of the Kingdom, King Jesus. This can be seen in the word of Jesus himself.

Luke 20:20-26

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. 21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? 24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. 25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. 26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

This is what I believe is the biggest problem in the black community. We don't give to God what belongs to God. Jesus answers these wicked men by telling them to support your leader and government. The reason is because your president, governor, mayor or government need your support to protect you from your enemies. Take the USA, what would happen if we didn't have funds? The wicked nations around the world would strike like on 911 and we could not do anything about it. Why? Because the citizens did not give to the country what belongs unto the country. What would happen to the water system in our city if we did not have money to support the city? You get my point, even in this statement by Jesus, it was right and the best thing for the citizens. But he did not stop there, he used this and had it put in the Bible, that we should give to our kingdom what belongs to God. Why? For divine protection from our enemies.

Tithing is applying the blood of Jesus to your life for prosperity and divine protection. Pleading the blood is not enough, it must be applied by applying the principals of the word of God. The word, the blood, and the life of Christ is all the same. When we, as the people of God, apply the principals of the word, we are applying the blood, life, and the word of God. Pleading with the tongue and not applying to principle through giving will not work.

It takes faith in the word, blood, and the life of Christ to apply this principle of tithing. God’s test for our love for him and the kingdom is the principle of giving. If you don't give your tithe you are robbing the kingdom and God. Therefore you can expect the evil in the world to have access into your life. The world of evil will blow into your life and you won’t have protection from the kingdom. You will be in the world without assured help from the kingdom. When you pray, your prayers will not have to be answered. It is hard to rob someone and then ask them for help. When you tithe and give your offering to God, He will be your shield and your promoter.

5. The Benefits of Tithing

Malachi 3:5

And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.

Let’s take a detailed look at the benefits of tithing and giving offerings:

1. Judgment.

God will take your case and answer you swiftly.

2. Control (sorcerers).

God will stop men from controlling your life. He will not allow the masters of this world to continue to rule over you. The wicked rich, haters, the prejudice and the devils will be rebuked by God. This word sorcerer is referring to the druggist. Drugs whether legal or illegal are controlling people’s lives all over the country. God agrees to be your protection when you support the kingdom with the tithe and offering. If you have faith in what God said and apply the system of giving though the tithes and offering, no white man, black man or brown man will control your life. God will make you the head and not the tail. He will multiply your seed sown and make you rich, therefore making you strong.

3. Swift witness against the adulterer and false swearer . God is saying he will stop what causes the enemy to break up your family through separation. The adultery spirit is what is used to destroy families, especially the black family. We hate to hear it or believe it but it is true. Being in a black suit myself, I hate to hear a white preacher say this. However it is the truth when it comes to poverty. The reason I say that is because I know the white race has been and is a big reason why this spirit rules in the black communities. But they are not by themselves, blacks are responsible for taking the principals of God and applying them for themselves. Plus we rob, steel, and kill each other ourselves. Thus dividing our family by the spirit of adultery. This spirit brings separation to destroy the Godly seed of God. This seed being our children. The children are the primary purpose of the marriage relationship. Darkness from the time of Adam, Moses, Jesus and to now has always been after the children.

Because the children are who will destroy the work of the devil. As in Egypt, Pharaoh tried to kill the male kids. The same during Jesus’s time. He had to be rushed to Egypt for the protection of his life. That devil has set up all kind of laws that work against the black community. Most whites on the outside can’t see it. Whites can smoke pot, take all kind of drugs in their communities, homes and other places and almost never be locked up. In the black community, policemen thrive on locking up black males. They get speeding tickets out of proportion. Our judicial system is claimed to be the best in the world. This is the case if you are white. If you are black or Hispanic it is probably the worst in the world. Police officers use racial profiling on a regular basis. Remember the Trayvon Martin case where a murderer went free. This type of justice is normal toward the black community. Even when blacks kill blacks there is injustice. In many cases that don’t put up the effort to find the killer. It makes one think that a black male life is not important. When there is injustice for one person, it leads toward injustice for all.

Laws such as Stand Your Ground make it legal to kill black citizens. It would be racist for me to say this is the case with all whites. This is not the case with all whites. The point being, if God doesn’t enter on behalf of black citizens we will continue to be harassed. The tithe and the offering gives God permission to come in and take the case of those who cannot defend themselves. He promises to be a swift witness on the behalf of those who give to his kingdom. The prison industry is one of the biggest private industries in many communities. The more you lock up, the more money the government pays.

White America’s wealth is twenty times higher than blacks’. Blacks’ income is sixty percent of that of whites. Minimum wage is only $7.25 per hour. Most whites think black people are lazy. Most blacks on the other hand thinks whites are lazy. If poor people black or white don’t apply the principals of God then this Pharaoh system of oppression will continue in their lives. When Israel sowed the seed Moses commanded everything to change for Israel. This same principle will work for every family that is oppressed by the devil. It is not the white man that oppresses per say, Satan is the root. Only God can change the oppression by the devil. He will not help us unless we apply the principals of seedtime and harvest.

Malachi 2:14-16

Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.16 For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

The prophet Malachi explains in detail about the purpose of marriage and destruction of separation after the marriage covenant. First he explains when a man and woman are married that God is a witness between the two. God is the one that makes the two one flesh. Then he gives the primary reason for the marriage is because he is seeking godly seed. The seed are the children that come from the relationship. Why we are the dirt parents, God is both the dirt and spiritual parent of our kids when they are godly seed. It is this reason he says he hates adultery. This gives Satan access to the children.

If separation after marriage gives the devil access, what about the seed out of wedlock? Let me explain, I was born in a family where my mother and father were never married. However, I was chosen by God before the foundation of the world to be his seed. Satan had access to me because of how I was born. First, I was born into poverty and it was the destroyer. I didn't have the protection of my father in the home. Thank God for my grandmother. She was a devil chaser and hand maid of The Lord. Her name was Effie Benjamin Grant. She kept me in church when my father was not there and at that time my mother was in the world. If not for my grandmother the devil would have had a wide open door to my life.

This very area of separation and non-marriage in the black community is the biggest reason for the poverty in our communities. My point, God is saying when we give the tithes and offering he will remove this spirit of adultery out of our communities whether black or white. It is amazing how important the tithes is to bind poverty in the lives of the saints. I encourage you to read this whole book of Malachi and you will see how important it is to use the principle of sowing and reaping. Giving to the kingdom of heaven, brings divine help from the kingdom. If you don’t sow into it, you won’t have the benefits. Apply the blood of Jesus through the tithe.

4. Swift witness against the oppression by those who hire you to work. One of the biggest causes of poverty on the planet is the wicked rich who will not pay their workers what is due them. This oppression in the black communities and the Hispanic communities uphold poverty in America. It is also a killer of the poor white, which I will talk in detail later. People go to work and work 40, 60, 80 hours per week. Some of the same hard working Americans are still in poverty because of the greed of the wicked rich. People cannot make it off of seven dollars per hour. Then in the case with most Hispanics from Mexico, they pay is even less.

Prosperity is what makes a man strong. This prosperity is for all areas of your life. The destruction of the poor is not caused by the government. It is not caused by the city where you live. It is not caused by a white, black or a brown man. It is not caused by hatred, nationality, or any such thing, it is the spirit of poverty. Anyone that preaches against you going forward is speaking on behalf of the devil. Remember, Jesus became poor so we can become rich. Why listen to a devil’s voice and stay in a weak position. God is against men ruling over his children. It is his desire that we don't owe any man anything but to love him.

Proverbs 8:10-21

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. 11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. 12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. 13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. 17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. 18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. 20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: 21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

The writer in the book of proverbs instructed the saints to receive the instruction of wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to take knowledge and use it to your advantage. Wisdom says her counsel is better than silver and gold. Someone can give you money, but it is better for them to show you how to get it. Wisdom explains that she is the strength from The Lord. By this strength, kings reign. The word says riches and honor are with wisdom. If God was against prosperity why would he give us wisdom?

The wisdom of God is loaded in our spirit. It causes Christ’s members to inherit substance and treasures. This doesn’t sound like wisdom is against prosperity. In fact, wisdom is for prosperity one hundred percent. The poor in the church must shake off the poverty mentality and receive the prosperous mind, which is the mind of Christ. Wisdom in the mind is the first step to physical prosperity. Wisdom has built her house according to the word of God.

Our spirit is complete and overflowing with wisdom. It is the mind that wisdom is crying out to change in the body of Christ. Our mind is like a large house with thousands of rooms. One room for thinking, another room for imagination and yet other rooms for decision making and there is no end to the rooms. For the believer to function like Jesus, every room have to be painted with Christ’s mind. The Anointed mind is the key to operating in the supernatural. The paint is the wisdom of God.

Wisdom is God’s word revealed to man. I have wisdom in me that you don't have. You have wisdom in you that I don't have. When wisdom is expressed, it changes into the word of God. Also it can even be the word of man expressed. That is why we pay money to lawyers, doctors, builders, repairmen and many other people that have wisdom in specific areas. When they talk, wisdom is expressed in word form. Then it is designed to be received by you in thoughts or understanding form. If you don't understand the expressed words you lose the wisdom. In 1992, while I was working for the government in Oak Grove, Louisiana, a man came in who was about eighty years old. This man was full of wisdom in an area that I was not. He was a contractor that built houses and buildings. We talked and he asked where I lived and I said in Bastrop, Louisiana. Then I told him I was planning on buying a house there. He said why buy a house when you can build one for less than half the price. I responded, I don't know how to build a house. He said I know how to and I will teach you how.

Proverbs 9:1-3

Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: 2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;she hath also furnished her table.3 She hath sent forth her maidens:she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

Even as wisdom has built her house, wisdom through this man had built many houses. For the next year this man took me under his wings like a son and filled me with the spirit of wisdom on how to build. Wisdom taught me how to lay the foundation. How to install the pluming, stand up the walls, put the roof on and how to hire contractors to do the work for me at very low prices. God used this man to buy me house plans on a house about five thousand square feet. From the plan, wisdom was poured out in detail. Using that wisdom I was able to contract the house out to workers to build the house. At the same time I joined in and helped them to build the house.

After completing my house, I was able to build about a thirty thousand square foot Church for The Lord in Winnsboro, Louisiana. This building would have cost at that time over three million dollars to get a contractor to build. God used this man to plant wisdom in my mind. This wisdom resides in me know. For wisdom to be completed it must be used on the job to make something happen to your advantage. Many in the city of Winnsboro are still trying to figure out how this was done. God gave me the wisdom and I used it build the church.

While contracting some of the work out I was still able to become a very good carpenter as I built The Lord’s house. While building the house the workers that God sent to help me for free were professionals in the field. Most of them were on work release from the local prison. Another Pastor friend, Jerry Gerhard, came and said God told him to help me for free. Praise The Lord, God is good. One of the prisoner was a carpenter and he gave me hands on wisdom on how to build. The wisdom of God in your mind is the best thing you will ever receive. This wisdom is the Spirit of The Lord.

After completing the Church, God set the prisoners free from prison. Using the wisdom and favor from God, I was able to add a additional eight thousand square feet on my house. None of which could have been done if I needed someone else wisdom to do it. Yes God anointed me with wisdom to not only build his house but to also build my house. This house has thirty rooms in it. These former prisoners helped me to frame it up and from there I finished the job. Several of the men at the church helped me to complete the work. These blessed brothers included Pastor Otha Caston (Roofer), Russell Grant (my brother), Jimmy McCarthy, my right hand man in the ministry. There were Corey, Jimmy, Willie and many other men God sent to help me. This could not have been accomplished without the wisdom of God. See my brothers and sisters, wisdom is the principle thing.

Wealth or physical prosperity is listed number three because it is number three. Without spiritual prosperity this prosperity only has a temporary value. Because it only lasts while you are on the earth. This prosperity is what men desire the most. The wicked rich teach the poor to not desire prosperity. Even the slave masters in this country used the bible falsely to keep slaves from thinking prosperously. Because prosperity brings you out of an oppressed condition. Yes, poor minded people are manipulated by the wicked rich to not put a high value on prosperity. This prosperity is however needed while on earth to preach the good news of the Kingdom.

This form of prosperity is the one men put as number one, when it actually is number three, behind first spiritual prosperity and soul prosperity. The reason being, spiritual and soul prosperity stay with you forever. Physical prosperity lasts less than a 130. In most cases men die before one hundred. This prosperity can be such a deceiver. Men get this prosperity and it goes directly to their head, thinking they are better, smarter and wiser than everybody else. They look down on the poor and use material wealth to rule over the poor. Now I am talking only about the wicked rich.

Yes the devil doesn’t want a man that is born again or poor to ever get this prosperity. Even till this day people still ask me why you built a church and house that big in Winnsboro. Some say preachers should not have wealth. No reason for a preacher to have a house that size. I built the house, number one, because I had the wisdom to build it. Also, because God put it in my heart to build it. What man can't see is the house is only my house while I am here on earth. It is temporary for me. When I built the house I didn't know, that one of my sons would have seven children. Can you see what I am getting at, we should always do what we are led to do, even if we can't see the future. All my grandchildren have their own personal room. God is a good God.

Who knows the plans God has for the house in the future. The very mansion and sky scrapers men built hundreds of years ago are being used for God’s purpose even until this day. Look at all the sky scrapers and buildings that Andrew Carnegie built in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This man had a vision from God, to invest in rail roads and he eventually built Pittsburg's Carnegie Steel Company. From this steel company, bridges and very tall building were built in many large cities in United States. He is not on the planet but God was using him to build for future generations. He was at one time the richest man on the planet.

Other men with visions from God step out and do things that a poverty-clad mind will never be able to do. John Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, had no idea that when he was using the oil just for burning lights that one day there would be a need for his oil in cars. But God was working on something through men who dare to use their God given wisdom to do what God tells them to do. This man was a Christian and according to history he gave tithes on every dollar he made. His net worth was over seven hundred billion by today’s money.

John Rockefeller obeyed God with his vision, he was setting up fuel and oil that help give power to the cars that Henry Ford created later. We have to use our God given wisdom to do what God has called us to do. Don't allow men with a poverty mentality stop you from doing what the Lord tell you to do. Everything that I have done in this ministry is not for this generation, it is for generations to come. My house is not just for me, it is for somebody that God chooses in the future. It will be used for his glory now and in the future. Men question why I would build a house that big. Go ask God, he is the one that build it. I can't even untie my shoes without the Lord’s help.

God has given me a vision to establish churches all over the world. I have started in Louisiana and Texas. God blessed our ministry with a twenty three thousand square foot church in Monroe, Louisiana. People with poverty mentalities were saying, “Why are you starting a church over there when this one is not full?” It is not about me filling a church up, it is about doing what God called me do. I don't let flesh men judge me by their standards. I just do what the Lord instructs me to do. We have at this time five King Jesus Worship Center churches. There are four in Louisiana and one in Dallas, Texas.

These churches are not just for me or the members that are on earth now. God always has plans for the future in the things he tells us to do. This is the reason why we can't have a poverty mindset or poverty controlled lifestyle. God is looking for somebody he can bless that can be a blessing. My hand is already up, “Here I am Lord, use me.”

The Race Card and White America

The white race in America are good people as well as man can be good. There is only one good and that is God. There are so many good white people that have died for their country and for the evils that have plagued blacks, like slavery and inequality. This can be found just by looking into the history of America. The civil war is a good place to start. This is the reason we can't judge people based on the color of their skin. The devil comes in all colors and races. There are no people that are righteous based on their race. All mankind is sick in the head and heart. This is why God sent Jesus.

I am so proud of the white citizens who voted for our first black president. This what Mrs. Obama was trying to say when the media took it out of context. For a white American to vote for a black president was a giant step toward unity. I have to give credit where credit is due. I thought that was something, then some of these good-hearted whites turn around and elected him again. For this I give an A-plus to this group of people.

This is the reason why we can never judge men based on their color. We as people have to wake up and be able to see good in each other. Does this make this group of people perfect? No, they have the same problems with wrong judgment based on color or race as we all have. However, this group is a special group and this should be recognized by black America.

What was amazing about the election of President Obama was most of the white church was against him. This was easily seen in the south. Was it because he was black? Was it because he is a democrat? You answer this one. It was sad to me to see the white in Hollywood, the homosexuals and the white non-Christians be for this man and the born again white church be against him.

Barack Obama is a born-again president. He comes from a church where Jesus is Lord. His Pastor had some bad views of white America. I wonder why? My point being, just as his pastor had the wrong view about white America, this is the exact thing I see with most white pastors in this country. I ask myself what is wrong with this picture. How can the lost in Hollywood be more for unity among the races than the white church. I know many will say his race has nothing to do with it. The stand he has on abortion on homosexuals is why I was against him. The healthcare policy and government spending is why I am against him.

Be honest with yourself this is not the main reason you are against him. The main reason you are against him is because he is black. The main reason you are against him is because you don't want him to help the black race. You still have hatred in your heart against black folks. You still want the South to rise again. You want what you called the good old days of slavery and Jim Crow. Which for the most part is still in existence in your circle. I am against abortion and the homosexual lifestyle. I am also against racism, low wages, no healthcare for the poor, injustice in the court system for blacks, Hispanic and the poor.

I am against the white church having the same views as people like Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Donald Trump. These are people who hated this black man so much that they said he was not even a citizen. When you hate on a brother in the Lord without cause this is murder in the kingdom system of judgment. This bigotry was what causes the rich man to end up in hell.

Why is it that the black church and the white church is so divided? Maybe we both are blind to the knowledge God has given to the different races. We all have a mindset based on the environment we were brought up in. This however, can be hell binding if we don't repent and make adjustment in our minds based on the word of God. The biggest problem whites have is, they think more highly of themselves than they ought to think. That is a problem, because God has given to every man the measure of faith.

It is real easy to think you are better, wiser, more dedicated when you have wealth, power and position. It is so easy to see other races as beggars, lazy, and worthless. But the righteous beggar that went to heaven I don't think he was begging because he was not wanting to work. He was begging because he was lacking. The rich man had money, power and authority on earth. Be he refused to help the beggar.

I am not making an excuse for poor or black people. I am just revealing that side that most whites cannot see. This I also talked about with blacks in America. Black folks are the most hated and despised people in this country. Why? Because of the color of their skin and because of their status in wealth.

Proverbs 14:20-21

The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. 21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

Proverbs 14:31

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

Proverbs 19:4

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

It is just the nature of man to hate when one is poor. We just think we are better than someone poor. This was no difference than the Egyptians when the Jews were in Egypt. When I say white I am not talking about all whites. So many whites have died to help blacks. But I am referring to those of whom it fits only.

Revelation 3: 14 - 22

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Material Prosperity: A Warning to the Wicked

Mark 10:17-26

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

This parable is a good parable to express wickedness in America. The rich young ruler come to Jesus wanting everlasting life. But Jesus tells him to go sell all he has and give to the poor. Why would Jesus tell him this and not Solomon? Because this man was like the typical big company in America, he was rich from the business that he perhaps started. But, as in our country, he probably had people working for him that were very poor. It is not right for owners of a companies to have billions and the hard working citizen to be in poverty. Many large companies, company owners and officers make twenty to one hundred million per year. Not including other stock shares in the company. They have poor men working for them making for less than eight dollars per hour.

I plead with you now wicked rich, turn around and do what is right. Capitalism will not save you. The church needs to do what is right. Capitalism is not right when the rich get richer and the majority of the citizens are in poverty. I am for righteous capitalism. But I have to be against a system that keep its citizens in oppression. We should not uphold the wicked rich. I think the government should have some regulation on companies that oppress their workers.

Government should regulate evil company owners that:

1. Clear billions and pay workers minimum wages

2. Officers making millions and employees live in poverty

3. Charge citizens high bank fees

4. High interest for the poor and low interest for the rich

5. Best health insurance for rich an no insurance for poor

6. Pay whites forty percent more than minorities

7. Pay white men more than women

8. High unregulated utility costs

9. High gas prices based on rich buying and selling on wall street

On Sunday morning, we have the rich sitting in churches pushing their agendas through blind preachers. The Kingdom of God is against this Babylonian system. This financial system is responsible for billions of people being in poverty. It is not right when the top 85 riches people on the planet have more wealth than 3.5 billion people. I don’t want that blood on my hand when I meet my maker.

They rich set up laws to lock up poor blacks, Hispanics, and some whites. Black men get felonies for drugs and when they get out they can't even get a job. Right back to prison they go. No wonder Jesus said I was in prison and you would not visit me. Yes Mr. Wicked Rich, you judgment day is coming swiftly. Whether saved or not saved you pay in the judgment. Whether black, brown or white you pay a price for your evil.

This rich young ruler that Jesus invited in is your example Mr. Wicked Rich. Jesus said it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a wicked rich man to get into the kingdom. Apparently it is hard for the camel to get through the eye of the needle. Don't be deceived into thinking you can hate the poor and treat the poor like slaves and get into the kingdom. You must repent and accept Jesus for real. Your heart must be new and your spirit must be born again. Then you will treat your brother right.

Warning to the Laodicean (Rich) Church

Before I go any further I want to mark it clean that God wants his church to be rich with wealth. All the wealth on the planet belongs to the church. It takes wealth for the gospel to be preached throughout the world. There is a need for Christian television stations, air planes, jets, land, buildings and other things to get this gospel into the uttermost parts of the world.

God is for the body of Christ possessing all the wealth of the Gentiles. This wealth is our inheritance by the blood of Jesus. He wants the body to own the land, sky scrapers buildings, apartment complexes, banks, mansions, Wall Street and other forms of wealth. He wants the man of God to have the jets and airports to get this gospel to every person on the planet. Remember it was God who made Abraham rich. It was God that gave Israel the promised land. Houses, building, crops, animals that other men sowed and built.

But, the one thing the church has to remember, Jesus put wealth in our hands to fulfill his covenant that he made with Abraham. Basically for the whole body to enjoy the fruit of the land. However, we live in a time where many in the church operate just like the rich man dealing with Lazarus. Pastors are caught up in what ministry has the most wealth. What ministry has the biggest jet. What ministry has the most or biggest property.

It is the world’s way of doing things that poison the Laodicean Church. I have seen it first hand throughout the land. Men of God thinking more highly of themselves than they ought to think. Just because God give us power to get the wealth first, doesn’t mean we are the wisest. This doesn’t mean you are the only one anointed to preach the gospel. It does not mean that fellow pastors, without the wealth, should be your son or servant. This, my brother, simply means to whom more is given more is required.

The wicked way of thinking has hindered the movement of God for hundreds of years. First it was in what I am calling the white church. They thought they were so much better than the black church because they had all the wealth. God has proven that to be false by giving more anointing to the black church than in the white church. Why? That there will be no schism in the body. It was this spirit of division that divided the body in the early nineteen hundreds. God used a black man, Charles Harrison Mason, to usher in one of the biggest Pentecostal movement in the country. But, because of racism and wealth, many rejected the movement of God.

Bishop Mason the founder of the church of God in Christ, was chosen by God for this movement. After teaching and ordaining many white pastors, they decided to rebel against God because he was in a black man. He did not meet their standards of wealth and skin color. Then in April 1913 about 300 preachers from 20 states and foreign countries came together in Hot Springs Arkansas and formed the Assemblies of God. This was a big divide in the church that is present even until this day. Think of how far the movement of the Holy Ghost would have been if our white brothers would have submitted to God and Bishop Mason.

When people have wealth and power it is difficult for them to recognize God in brothers of a lower estate. I have witnessed wealthy preachers saying if you are not wealthy you don't have the anointing to preach prosperity. Is this from God or from man? We have to call those things that are not as though they were. The Apostle Paul did not have the wealth of Peter and others in the Church at various times. God used his weakness to preach and write prosperity to the church. God used him even more than the twelve in this area.

The wealth in both the rich white and black church is for the whole body. This is why the rich church was rebuked by Jesus in the book of Revelation. Think what could be done if men were not so selfish. Paul had to rebuke many churches in his day for the same reason. They were supporting the wealthy pastors such as Peter, but despising the move of God in his ministry. This was all because of the blindness of their heart caused by the wealth.

1 Corinthians 9:5-11

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? 7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? 8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

Paul is rebuking the church for not taking care of the needs of his ministry. While they were supporting Peter and others he was being neglected. He indicated to them that he was plowing the field for the kingdom also. The church however was muzzling his ministry. He told them that God even made it law to feed the ox that tread out the corn. We have been taught to give up only. But we as the people of God should give up, down and sideways. We should take in to account the work of our fellow laborers in the gospel. Then we should always give as the Holy Ghost lead.

Most so called mega ministries won’t even come to a church; they normally don’t support smaller ministries. Money, rather than God, makes decision for most mega ministries. They will turn down the invitation. Why? Because money is their priority and their God. God and not money should direct our path for ministry. Respect of persons should never be in our path. God gives a ministry power to get wealth so that the ministry can be a blessing. The taking ways are of the devil. Jesus will judge pastors for this neglect of his churches. He will say, “I was in need and you would not help me. I invited you to come and you rejected my invitation. I sowed for your ministry and you were already rich, but in my need you sowed nothing.”

Yes the wealth in the body is for the whole body. Just as it is in the world so is it in the body. This, my brothers, should not be. God is the one who empowers us to get wealth. It is this reason that when I get an invitation from a smaller ministry, I will go and support that ministry. We are blessed to build up that which is lacking. Many small churches can and will be a bigger blessing to our ministry when we support them.

Laodiceans’ rich church, answer the following questions:

1. Did your own wisdom make you rich?

2. Is the wealth God gave you flowing to the rest of the body?

3. What do you think about Lazarus the beggar?

4. Was the beggar really lazy?

5. Did God expect the beggar to pull his self-up by his own boot straps?

6. Why did the rich man end up in hell?

7. Can you really say you have no need of anything?

8. Do you ever sow to so called smaller ministries?

9. Are you selfish and just taking for your own work?

10. Do you have respect of person?

11. Do you give the best seats in your church to those who sow the most?

12. Do you have reverence for small ministries?

13. Do you reject invitations because of money?

14. Can you see Jesus in a poor man?

15. Do you despise (think little) of smaller ministries?

16. How do you treat pastors of smaller ministries at your church?

17. Is the honor given for smaller ministries on seating arrangments?

18. Do you tell the poor preacher to just find you a chair anywhere?

19. Do you reserve seats for big supporters and rich only?

20. Do you just invite the rich supporters to your house for dinner?

If you think or are offended by any of the question then you have been treating Jesus wrong. “If you have done it to the least of mine you have done it to me.” God is the one that sends the beggar around to you to see how you respond. He comes to you as a non-wealthy pastor to see how you respond. He come to your church as a poor pastor that loves you and supports you to see how you respond.

Jesus comes to your church as a black preacher to see how you treat him. Remember, the Lord made both the poor and rich, the black and the white. Then he brings them together to see how they respond to each other. These twenty examples are no more than documented proofs of the Bible that God uses to see how men respond. See the following scriptures:

Why Did God Use Seating Arrangements to Explain Respect of Persons?

( KJV) 1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

1. Because it expresses the heart of the Pastor in charge

2. It like a thermostat that shows where our heart is

3. It shows the fruits of the man of God

4. It shows what kind discernment the pastor has towards fellow pastors and laborers

5. It gives us a chance to give honor to whom honor is due

I like how Paul and Timothy have observed over the years how the rich in the body operate within their church. I have seen the damage and rejection to great men of God. I have seen the dishonor in seating arrangements in larger ministries. You might not think that seating arrangements should be a big deal. James used it by the Holy Ghost because it is a great dishonor to laborers of the Gospel. When I honor a pastor, I give honor to that whole ministry. When I don’t honor a pastor, I dishonor that church he serves which is Christ. Jesus told his disciples to take the smaller seat, then wait to be invited up. The invitation up is the honor due to a sheppard. What love we show as pastors when give honor to each other. What love we show when treat all of our members with due respect. God demands from me, as a pastor, to give double honor to the fivefold ministry gifts. When we show honor to each other we are showing honor to Jesus. What you have done to the least of his you have done to him.

James brings out that at one time you were treated wrong and despised by the rich. How easy is it for wealth to blind the eyes of men. We have to always remember that Jesus is one with every member of the body, small or large, rich or poor, black or white. The way you treat members is the way you are treating him. God has chosen the poor of this world is rich in faith. We can't just be a hearer of the royal law of love, but we have to be a doer.

1 John 3:11-17

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. 13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Whoever is born of God will have compassion for his poor brothers. This is the test for the rich. The rich young ruler flunked the test. Why? Because he had no love for the poor brothers. He would not share his wealth with the poor. The kingdom is just the opposite of most law makers. Many in that group think it is sinful to share the wealth with other hard working people. Many run their campaign against others that want to help the poor. They make a mockery over the parties that want to help the poor.

The word says, “Whosoever hath this world's goods, and sees his brother in need and doesn’t help, how dwells the love of God in you?” So many are fooling themselves about Christ being in them. If he is in you, Christ will tell you to share the goods he gave you. It is the Lord that gave you power to obtain wealth. He gave you the idea, he gave you that inheritance, he gave you that business and not because you are smarter or better. To whom more is given more is required. Yes, God will judge the rich that won’t share the wealth with fellow men. Yes, Mr. Rich you are guilty just like the rich young ruler.

Luke 12:13-21

And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Yes the wicked rich will pay with their soul forever. Because the blood of the poor will testify against them. Jesus gives a story of another rich man that refuses to help his own poor brother. Jesus indicated to the poor brother not to covet what his brother has. The reason being, when you are rich, it is required of you to help your brother. If you refuse to help your brother you are rejecting Jesus. He will say to you, “I was hungry and you fed me not. I needed a promotion and passed over me. I was at your church and you gave me no honor. I supported your ministry but you refused to support my ministry.” Right when this man began to build bigger barns God called his soul off the earth. The rich have to remember you will die one day and then you will be judged.

The top five percent think they can starve the bottom seventy percent of the population without divine judgment. When you die you will face King Jesus. He will remind you how you treated Him. However you have treated the least of his, is the way you are treating him. Many rich in the church will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. You might be in the head position now, but in the kingdom many that are first will be last. Wicked rich saints open your eyes and treat Christ right. What you have been riding on can’t get you into heaven. Your best to get a horse that has been tried by the fire. That white horse is the word of God. “Obey my word,” says the Lord and live.

All in the body of Christ will get into the kingdom. Judgment will start in the house of the Lord. To not treat a member of Christ’s body right is an insult to the spirit of grace. To despise a member of the body is a grave mistake. If many are sick and sleep because of not discerning Christ’s body on the communion or Lord’s supper. This is just the serving of bread and juice that represent Christ and his body. What greater punishment will be for those that did not discern their blood brothers in Christ. The body of Christ is holy and to dishonor the least member is a bad mistake. Our time on earth, quality of health, and our position in eternity is a direct result of how we treat members of the body. Many preachers have went to heaven before their time because they did not discern fellow members of the body.

James writes that elders that preach and teach the word should have double honor. This word applies to pastors and all members of the body. As a pastor, I make sure when another fivefold ministry gift is at our house he is treated with honor. Why? because God said give double honor. Whether they are known are not known double honor is required. There should always be special seats for fellow labors of the gospel. Why? Because we should give honor where honor is due. Jesus said take the low seat and wait to be asked up to the best seat. This is wisdom for how pastors(fivefold) should honor other pastors(fivefold). The same works for fellow members of the body whether rich or poor. When we honor each other we honor Christ. When we dishonor each other we dishonor Christ.

Revelation 3:14-22

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

I believe that in America we are the perfect example of the Laodicean Church. I hear people saying we can't find America in the Bible. This is because the church is so blind because of the evil in this day. This Laodicean Church is a picture of the church in America. First the church as a whole is lukewarm. Which divine judgment will reject from the presence of the true body of Christ. While salvation is free because of the blood, Jesus says he will vomit these lukewarm out of his mouth. Does that mean some are going to hell? Good question, he says “If” they repent they will sit with him in white robes. This is a great mystery to the outcome of this church. It is in the hands of the Lord for righteous judgment. The punishment will be just.

God has many ways to bring eternal judgment without sending men to hell. Many that are first now will be last in the kingdom. I don't want to be last in the kingdom. The reason for the rejection is because you said I am rich and have need of nothing. While you have need of nothing, Jesus is saying buy the word. This meaning do with his wealth what he tells you to do. Primarily, help the members that are working that are in need. We are all in the same kingdom fighting for the same king.

But this rich church teaches to give supplies to the ministries that don't need help. They used the term sow your seed up to the good ground. Meaning if you sow to a church that has plenty of money that is good ground. But the church in need has to be bad ground. If this was true then Jesus was always sowing into bad ground. He would be guilty of telling the good ground rich young ruler to sow to the poor. Plus the rich man that would not help the begged should have not ended up in hell. Wake up church and sow to those whom the Lord tells you to sow too, rich or poor. So much more could be done in the kingdom if this Laodicean Church would obey God and make distribution according to God’s will.

Proverbs 10:14-15 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

Where there is poverty there will be killing, steeling, drugs, and destruction. The reason being, men that have little, fight over the crumbs given. Why do women sell their bodies? Why do people sell crack? Why do people rob? The main answer is a lack of money. It is because of poverty. Why does it show up in poverty stricken areas? Why evil never is an excuse, but for a discussion about poverty we need to see the whole picture.

The wicked rich are the main cause of poverty in every country, nation, state, city and local communities. The root of all evil is the love of money. God has enough of everything to take care of about seven billion people on the planet. The wicked rich use the seed of division among the poor to keep them divided and fighting over the crumbs, why they eat the full steak. They sow seeds of division between poor blacks, white and brown people. They sow seeds of division between poor democrats, republicans and independents. While the poor fight over skin color and parties, they live in luxury.

Yes they will always be against any program that helps the middle class and the poor. This is the reason you very seldom hear a politician mention a word about helping the poor. It is always for the hard working middle class American. What about the hard working poor American? The reason being, the hard working American is thought of as white. They won’t say that, but it is a known fact by the white, black and brown. This is one of the seeds of division. Indicating that mostly blacks don't want to work. This is not true but planted by the wicked rich into the minds of the poor whites to keep them and all races in poverty.

It is 2014 and the minimum wage is a little over seven dollars a hour. The wicked rich law makers will not vote to make the change. Why? Because instead of CEOs of those companies receiving a 10 to 100 million dollar salary, they will be one million short. While they brag about them having a right to the money because they founded the company. They might have been the founder but what about the people making 7-15 dollars per hour. These are the people running the company and getting the products out. In the eyes of God, this is injustice in the highest form. God will repay the wicked for their evil.

Maybe the woman selling her body might be working if she could make 15 or 20 dollars an hour. Maybe the drug dealer would be working if he could have a descent salary. While they stay on the other side of the tracks and judge the poor for their evils, they shall reap a worse damnation in judgment. Listen to what God has to say about this.

James 5:1-6

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

James is painting a picture of what is going on with most large companies in America. This is not for the rich but the wicked rich. First, James tells them at judgment you will weep, cry and howl. Because come judgment day, whether on earth or after death, you will be in trouble. He tells them their riches are corrupted and their garments are the cause of their decay. This means their riches have corrupted their mind to do the poor wrong in their pay. Their future skin in eternity will be stale and won’t cover their pain in hell. James tells them, “Your silver has cancer and rust, because you have been keeping it back from the people it belongs too. Then in the judgment the money you laid up for yourself will testify against you. The judgment will be hell fire and the lake of fire.”

God says, “Gather it together for the last days.” During their short time on earth, He allowed them to gather it together. They thought they were leaving it for their wicked children, but in the last days He will take it for the kingdom’s work and for the poor they stole it from. Those poor workers they paid the low wages to have been praying to Him concerning their evil. While they have been living and traveling in pleasure. But now and throughout eternity they will pay with their life in hell forever. Yes, they talked about the poor being lazy, not wanting to work. But they would not pay them enough to feed their children. They don’t have funds to even pay their rent and house note.

Then James says, “You have condemned and killed the poor and they could not resist you.” They were hated, made slaves, freed slaves and poor working slaves. Yes my friends, these wicked rich are in for the biggest surprise of their life. They were first on earth for a few years, but later they will be last. Even those that get into heaven will be in the back row throughout eternity. Many will be in the kingdom. But the will be last. The very poor that they cheated out of their wages will be in the high place in eternity. Many in that day will thank God for not being chosen to be born in those wicked rich families.

Luke 16:19-25

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Lazarus, in this story, represents every poor black, white and brown man in the world. This wicked rich man had it going on during his lifetime on earth. He had the house with the gate. He was the banker, senator, movie star, president and rich person of the wealthy companies. Lazarus was in need and begging for more pay, begging for a job, begging for money for food and other things that he had need of. He didn't have enough money or even a health card to go to the doctor. This wicked man represents the law makers that are against healthcare for Lazarus. He is against the poor having enough to not be beggars.

He was turned down when he came to the wicked banker for help. Lazarus represents those denied a two or three dollar raise, while the owner goes from ten million to twenty million in one year. Yes that beggar, thief steeling to eat and the woman on the street that changed will have it better in judgment than these wicked rich men. The rich tell the beggar to pull themselves up by your boot straps. Yes, their money deceived them to think they were better than that black “lazy” beggar. They thought they were better than the poor white or brown beggar. They thought little of that poor person on earth. They did not know it was God they were treating like that. In that day, he will say unto them, “What you have done to the least of mine, you have done unto me.”

Jesus said that in hell he lifted up his eyes. This is not a parable but a real wicked rich man that thought he was better than the beggar. Even the dogs had more compassion than this rich fool. People don't understand, where more is given more is required. When you have plenty of money, God expects you to help people around you. This is why so many in the church will be judged by God for their lack of help they give to other members of the body. The money is not just for you and your church. It is also to help that brother in the other church.

God judged both Lazarus and the rich man. Lazarus went into paradise and now heaven. The rich man thought more of himself than he should have. His final dwelling place is hell. Hell after judgment will place them in the lake of fire. Even after going to hell, his mind was still in pride. Asking Abraham to allow Lazarus to come and serve him water off his finger. He did not understand that this man was a son of God. Many members of the body of Christ will suffer loss for their lack of respect for certain members of the body. They tell the rich givers in the body to take a special seat, but the poor, they say sit anywhere you can find a seat. I am a man of God, I have seen this happen so many times to me and my wife. If you don't have the money to give there is disrespect, even if you are a pastor. There should always be honor to whom honor is due. The honor should not be done based on money. When pastors who do this to me, I forgive them because I know they are in darkness. If this is done to pastors by other pastors what about the members?

The Word Will Bring Down the Wicked

James 2:1-9

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

Psalms 92: 1 - 9

O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 7 When the wicked spring as the grass,

and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. 9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

Psalms 37: 1 - 2

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Psalms 37: 30 - 38

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

It is God’s desire that his people walk in victory through the royal blood of King Jesus. This royal spiritual blood is in every member of the body of Christ. Christ’s blood redeemed the saints forever. Therefore, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. The wicked will stand in the day of judgment. God is the head of his body and desires that we give respect to every member of the body.

Many in the body of Christ are weak, sick and sleep because they refuse to discern the Lord’s body. If you are reading this book, make it your business to give respect to every member of the body. Give honor to whom honor is due. Never have respect of persons because of their status, wealth, or race. Treat every member as you would treat Jesus. Think like a sober man and not like a drunk man. God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
