"THE FALL" and OUR ADOPTION AS SONS

Genesis 3:1-7

This is a short revelation I got about how man (Adam and Eve) lost their positions as Sons, kings, lords of this earth. But how Jesus threw the Cross restored us back to God the father.

There is an amazing connection between the story of the fall of man, and the story Jesus told about the prodigal son. I will try and explain what the Holy Ghost showed me, through the eyes of my heart, about that connection.  Lets start with the fall of Man, after Satan asked Eve what God told her concerning the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Eve told the serpent that God told her she couldn’t eat of that tree, because the day that she or Adam ate that fruit they would surely die. And they did. You see, Adam and Eve were Spirit beings given a fleshly body to live, rule and dominate this earth just like their brother Jesus did in Heaven. Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Matt 6:10

Satan was cast down to the earth, we find this out later, and he came to them in a form of a serpent. Knowing he could not take the power and authority away from Adam and Eve by force, he decided to deceive them into eating the fruit that will give them the knowledge of good and evil, causing them to die. What does that mean? Well, we know that they didn’t die because they lived to have Cain and Abel. So, this death was not physical but spiritual. The devil knew that the only way to get all the power and authority was to get Adam to disobey God and willingly give his servant-hood to Satan by deceiving him into obeying him instead of God. 

Paul says in Romans...

Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

So, the fall of man, was Adam giving his God given authority and power to the devil by willingly disobeying God and obeying satan instead. Therefore causing spiritual death, and becoming slaves/servants to the devil.

Now, what did satan mean when he said, you will not surly die but your eyes will be open and you will be like gods?

Satan knows scripture better than most “Christians”. But, he knows that where ever we lack knowledge, is where he has the advantage. Rom 8:1: [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Satan knew that if he could get Adam and Eve to die spiritually, and get them to operate only in flesh, their physical eyes, (conscience) open to the knowledge of good and evil, it would cause them to feel condemned, and to separate from God. The open eyes part of it was that walking in the flesh causes you to separate from God, and it gives satan full grounds to mess with you, because you are now in his territory. Remember Adam gave satan his authority when he decided to obey him.

Before Jesus came to die on the Cross, satan ruled the physical earth, and the right to mess with our minds and bodies, causing sickness and diseases, possessing us with devils and killing us.

John 10:10 devil comes to steal kill and destroy.

How were Adam and Eve as gods like satan said they would be? Well, satan lied. They were already as gods, because, they were made in the likeness of God the father, and Jesus, our elder brother. He lied and deceived them, because they were naive.

 John 10:34: Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?

Here is the Good news. Jesus was sent to earth, born as a man, because only a son of Man can reclaim the right and authority of man given to man by God back to man from the devil, but that man had to have no sin. Only God could help us, where we could never help ourselves.

Rom 8:1: [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Walking after the spirit was when Christ came to give us His life, and His righteousness, and His authority and dominion.  Welcome to the new-creation-life friends, where we are now restored back to God as His sons.

Rom 8:19: For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (that’s you and me) you have the full power and authority as sons of God to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils. Freely you've received, freely give!!!

Now, as for the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32. The son left the presents of his father, his kingdom and his given inheritance in that kingdom, and took with him all that he made (money) while working for his father.  The son, left the kingdom and spent all his father’s money on the lust of the eye, the lust of the fresh, and the pride of life.

And it came a time when he lost every thing, and had no where to go. No one to help him. You see the devil came to steel kill and destroy. And only you have the power to let him do it, or stop it.  After a while, the son remembered how he lived as a king in his fathers house, and how even the servants were treaded better then he was out here in the world. So he took off, for his fathers’ kingdom. Seeking first, his fathers’ kingdom, and all its righteousness, knowing everything else would be added on to him. Lol

Lets notice how his father’s attitude was like, when he saw his son coming home from a far off.  You could have been like most Christians are today. Saying, that boy of mine, spent all my money on the world, how do I know if he really means sorry by coming home? Or is he just mooching off of me. I should make him suffer for what he did. Teach him a lesson. You know reaping what he sowed?

No, far from it. He ran out to meet him. Knowing full well the thoughts his son had. His son could have still turned back. He was still a far off. He could have let all the condemnation get to him. But his father ran to meet him, with a hug and a kiss. Killing the fattest calf and putting sandals on his feet. Restoring his authority and position back into the kingdom. As a real beloved son.

This really made me cry.  Out father, loved us so..much that he gave his only son to die for us while we were yet sinners, so that we may become his divine inheritance.  John 3:16

God has totally restored us back to the kingdom. Just as though Adam and Eve never disobeyed.  This really is good news. We are now sons kings and lord over the earth. As it is in heaven. We are Royalty!!! 

Glory and Freedom, In Christ.

LOVE NEVER GIVES UP ! ! !

  

         
 This is going to be the first for me. I’ve never actually done what I have always imagined in my heart since I became born again.  I have had a serious desire to do the work of Jesus; healing the sick, casting out devils and doing miraculous things. I have dreamt of going to the ends of the world, just for the one, who needed “the touch” from Heaven.

A few days ago, I was invited to pray for a man who, due to a motorcycle accident, has been paralyzed from his lower chest down for the past 3 years. His name is, Kevin. A very humble, hospitable young man, who 3 years ago was no where close in relationship with God to where he is at now.

This would be my chance to actually live the life the Holy Spirit has been trying to motivate me to live. I made sure my heart was right, and my house cleaned up. Got my priorities right, which is, seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness and everything, shall be added on to you. (Matt 6:33)

Something I encourage everyone to do, but it’s not required “before” you go and preach the gospel or heal the sick. You don’t learn then go, you go and you learn as you go.

 But, it is required if you want to be obedient, and in the case of fully depending of God to provide all your needs then I recommend seeking first the kingdom of God.

2Cr 9:8   And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:

 (Note: to do good works for the kingdom, not for your own benefits.)

Up to this point, Kevin has been on a diet that causes him to fall asleep late past the evening and wake up near afternoon. He spends the day alone with his parents reading and listening to Bible audio teachings and other Christian known leaders in the faith, such as Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, and so on. Looking for an answer to the Question, I believe, lies deep inside every person sick and/or has loved ones struggling with the topic of Faith and Healing, which is;

“Why am I not healed yet, if I profess in my heart to know and believe Jesus bore my sickness and disease, and have declared over myself that by his stripes I was healed?”

I use to struggle myself with that question in regards to my son, Josiah and his manifestation in complete healing. But, after seeing the results in healings I have been getting when I pray for people on the streets, I must say that I stand stronger on the word of God and what He “has already” done for our healing.  The facts are, God has already paid full price for our healing, and the devil has been defeated. So I’m the middle man who is the one commissioned to serve man and free him from his infirmities. I have been given full responsibility to go and preach, saying the kingdom of God is come onto you, your sins have been forgiven, believe in the Lord Jesus, and heal them etc. (Matt 10:7-8)

I arrived at Kevin’s home, located somewhere in the Prescott valley of Arizona, late Tuesday morning. I was welcomed by Kevin with a surprise look on his face. On a later conversation, as I was attempting to show him how God’s promises are always sure to happen because He was the one making the promise not us, and He is a God of His word proven throughout history, I asked Kevin when I told him I was coming that afternoon, if he believed me. His response surprised me. “I wasn’t sure,” Kevin said.  I asked why, and he said, “because in the past people have promised to come either hangout or pray for me and they never showed up.”  This is wrong church. 

Kevin mention of a few believers who have attempted to pray for him at church. “It was weird and I could see the look on their faces that they didn’t believe I could walk and they were just laying hands on me for the sake of doing it in church.” Kevin said.

I was told of only two believers coming over to his home to pray for him, and on either occasion their prayers only lasted 30minutes.   This short amount of time to lay hands on the sick would be fine if that person was seeing incredible results, accompanied with limited availability to spend more time one on one.  What you are hearing me say, is my own opinion. Take it for what its worth.  If you are not seeing amazing results in every one you pray for and you can make time to spend in prayer for that person. I think that it would be good.

With my son, I have resorted to spending time everyday laying my hands on him, imparting Life into the needed cells to heal him. I have seen good results so far.  I have made Romans 8:2 a key part of my praying for healing. “For the law of the spirit of life, has set me free from the law of sin and death.” I have read testimonies from John G.Lake’s book, on how his family members that got sick were put in isolation for a period of time. Devoted to praying and speaking in tongues, doing shifts, until the person sick, was totally healed, without any unbelievers welcomed in the room with them. In some situations it took two weeks.

Perseverance, discipline, love and long suffering are the keys to developing a strong character. It helps renew your mind, and makes you stronger in the area of healing.  It also shows the person who is in need of the miracle, like Kevin, to see that you really do care about them. 

I stayed over, praying and touching him almost the whole 8 hours I was there. We saw break threw in the area of pain, and his big toe moved when he willed it.  Kevin said that it was the first time that pain left when I put my hand on his back. There is however much more completion that needs to happen in Kevin’s body, but I am 100% sure that 8 hours of life imparting on him has done a lot, if not all that’s needed.

Kevin’s mom was also present in the house, and she too needed healing for unknown sores of pains in her back/ shoulders and arthritis in her hands. She got completely healed instantly. Pain free, for two days now, thank you Jesus!

Kevin and I were discussing about how the Holy Spirit was a must have as a Christian.

I will leave you with this last remark, and then I will pick up on it on my next blog.

Being a believer without having the baptism of the Holy Spirit, is like a police officer standing in the middle of the road directing traffic. He has Authority over that area and in charge of directing traffic. But without being filled with Spirit, if a car decided to rebel and not follow his authority then there was no way he could stop the car from crashing in to him and others. But having the Holy Ghost, is like the police officer in a tank on the road directing traffic, and who ever decides to rebel against his authority, having that tank(HolyGhost) as the power, He will blast that rebel to kingdom come!!! LOL

Love you guys

Glory and Freedom!!!

The Call to Obediance...my testamony

   “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. – Matthew 6:31-33

My wife and I, recently have been going on trips to Redding, CA, Denver, CO, and finally San Jose, CA. for the last 2 months. we have been on a quest to find a place where we felt would be the best place to learn how to walk in the Spirit, do what Jesus told us to do, and be surrounded by totally like minded believers to help sharpen us.  The major focus however was also to get my son, Josiah, completely healed from SMA. (spinal muscular atrophy)

    We just returned from an unexpected trip to San Jose, where we were just visiting to see if the group (school of obedience) we herd of there would be something to consider being a part of. I was offered a management job at Chipotle Restaurant in Gilbert AZ right before I left with the my family. the trip should have lasted only three days. however i was not prepared for what happened next.




 
     Those guys in San Jose's school of Obedience truly are starting a Revolution! The atmosphere in the house, full of 12 people plus my family, tearing apart the scriptures looking for the way Jesus handled and did things. Going out and sending people to homes casting out devils and healing the sick! Changing mindsets and getting people to give their lives to Jesus every day! who wouldn't be WRECKED after seeing such a thing.

I was taught how Jesus made me a king and a son. how when i speak i have authority and power to change things that be as though they aren't to be as they should. I have life in my tongue.

Needless to say, I ended up extending my trip to a week, and Melissa had to call off work, meaning she would have to pass up on much needed pay. Having no paid time off, I spoke in Faith and as a king, and declared that she will be paid for not working. and they would let her call off without question.

  We ended up going to Redding Ca, on Friday and spending the weekend there healing people from Bethel Church. and I was sent along with two cars full of students from the school of obedience, to "the Call" in Sacramento, Ca.  that was a day never to forget. we walked around praying for sick people all day long. I got 20 people healed, not to mention all the healings that the people that I came with had. legs growing out, scar tissue on face disappearing, broken wrist healed, arthritis healed, lower back and shoulder pains healed..etc it was great. I also got to speak life into all of them and change their mindset on how God loves them. I am BIG on showing you who you are in Christ, and what your abilities are now that you are a Son.

   Josiah was prayed for everyday by the students. There was a night where they all did shifts praying for him until 6am!!! Where do you find Christians that do that today?  The next morning he was able to pull himself over to his side from his back with his own strength. Come On Jesus!!!

    Ryan, Brandon and Dennis showed us good examples on how to trust in God to take care of ALL our financial needs. and be free to live the gospel without any distractions.

  So, we left San Jose with a commitment of forsaking our lives forever to follow Christ and live the life of the Gospel everyday. We committed to returning to San Jose by October 1st.  that would mean that we have to sell everything we own. Get out of our rental agreement 6 months early, Melissa quit her awesome paying job, Josiah giving up his insurance and physical therapy. So worth it, if you can see how much people are getting set free!!!


   Remember how i spoke that Melissa would get paid for not working that weekend? well, she got paid!!!
thank you Jesus. i am a king. just an example of how good my father is.

I just want to encourage you guys. What are you doing that you were never called to do? Know that Jesus loves you, and He is waiting for you to manifest the kingdom through you into this world.
I am now free to live as Christ. nothing holding me back from sharing His life through me.

The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; – Luke 4:18
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” – Mark 16:15-18
