Why The Second Adam Had To Sleep

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article from an unknown source I wanted to share.

WHY THE SECOND ADAM HAD TO SLEEP TO GET HIS BRIDE 

First, through death, Jesus Christ destroyed everything that would stand in His way of winning the hand of His beloved bride. He made sure that, by his own death, He removed all that could harm His lovely bride before she came into existence. For this reason, He would not allow her to appear until death was overcome.

1. He destroyed the sin that would eternally separate her from Him. 

2. He destroyed the Law that would suffocate her under a mountain of religious bondage and a pile of crushing condemnation. 

3. He destroyed the power of the Evil One who would seek to take her life. 

4. He destroyed the world system, which would lure her heart away from Him. 

5. He destroyed the old creation, which would defile and corrupt her. 

6. Most importantly, He destroyed death itself; for He would ensure that the object of His passion would never taste death.

As the first Adam was put into a deep sleep so the woman could be a new creation (from the 8th day, not the 6 days of creation) and “built” from His very DNA, so the Second Adam waited until he was in a “deep sleep” before the Second Eve could be fashioned as the New Creation.  

Death where is your sting!   Death shall never do them part!

Unity With Jesus Christ

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

A good message from an unknown author.  The spiritual power of unity!

On the coming of the Holy Ghost, everyone was sitting down and they were all in one accord. 

No they weren’t running around.

No they weren’t dancing around.

No they weren’t shouting around.

They were sitting down, all in one accord.

This is so important to grasp and understand, you don’t “work for” to have the Holy Ghost come onto you (like many charismatic churches teach). 

It’s a promised gift from Jesus, Himself when you believe in Him and get baptized in His name.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:1-4) 

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” (Acts 2:38-39)

The Secret Place

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

The Secret Place 

Jesus said we should do three things in secret….

Give in secret…

"That your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly." Matthew 6:4

Pray in secret…

"But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." Matthew 6:6

Fast in secret…

"So that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." Matthew 6:18

The enemy wants believers to live in a secret sin instead of the secret place of giving, praying, and fasting.

The Duality Of Jesus

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This is something very important to meditate on.

 You’ll never understand the Godhead until you get revelation of the duality of Jesus:

1) Jesus was the son of man on his mother side, but he’s the son of God on his father side.

2) He was the seed of Abraham on his mother’s side, but he’s before Abraham on his father's side.

3) He was the seed of David on his mother’s side, but he’s the root of David on his father's side.

4) He was finite on his mother’s side, but he’s infinite on his father’s side. 

5) He was natural his mother’s side, but he’s was supernatural on his father’s side.

6) He was physical on his mother’s side, but he was spiritual on his father’s side.

7) He was temporal on his mother’s side, but he was eternal on his father’s side.

8. He was 6 feet tall on his mother’s side, but he filled all space on his father’s side.

9) He preached the word on his mother’s side, but he was the word on father’s side.

10) He walked by the sea on mother’s side, but he walked on the sea on his father’s side.

11) He was 33 years old on his mother’s side, but he was the ancient of days on his father’s side.

12) He got hungry on his mother’s side, but he fed the 5,000 with two fishes and 5 loaves on his father’s side.

13) He got tired on mother’s side, but gives us rest on his father’s side.

14) He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane on his mother’s side, but he answers our prayers on his father’s side.

15) He died on the cross on his mother’s side, but he kept on living on his father’s side.

16) He got his body from his mother’s side, but he got his blood from his father’s side. 

For [because] in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9)

Only Gospel Music?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

I was asked!

Should a believer listen to none gospel music?

 My response:

Those who make musical beats are not stupid. It's the reason when certain beats hit your ears, you start shaking your legs. Then up on your feet till it consumes you and your atmosphere. Every music on earth is a worship to something or someone. Producers of music are very intentional about the lyrics. The sound and the audience. Music was also one of the few major things Jesus and the apostles were silent on.

The ear of a man is the only gate in his body constantly open. It receives and has capacity to make the whole body move. Make the head turn. When a gate is constantly open, then, wisdom requires you to be on guard always. Intruders, unwanted guests are lurking around.

In over twenty years, I have not had any none gospel music on my phone, laptop or any device at home. The temptation to listen is just not there. 

My view is simple, I belong to a kingdom and we have our own music.

Happy to hear your view on this if you visit a supposed Christian gathering and the musical atmosphere is everything but godly.

Is There Any Miracles In The Titles?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Perfectly 🤔 legitimate question ?  

   “Is There any Miracles In The Titles?”

Is there any miracles

Preformed in the titles

Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost?

I know not of one time 

Of the titles being used

In rebuking the devil...

Or the raising the dead,

Or getting sins remitted...

Or Healing the blind.

The leapers or

The sick!

There were no devils

Recorded to be cast out

Or down

Or told to flee!

The devils don’t tremble at the titles,

They don’t resist the titles

Or flee at the mention of the titles!

But...

At the name of Jesus Christ,

All these things are possible,

And do happen and the devils flee and tremble!

At the baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ,

Sins are remitted,

Sins are forgotten

And people are buried in the name of Jesus Christ!

So what I don’t understand is...

There is no baptism recorded in

The Father Son and Holy Ghost,

None of these other things

I’ve spoken of has been done in the titles...

Why are you using the titles?

It ain’t in the bible!

Why are you believing

Man over God?

Salvation is Acts 2:38.
