The Garden-part 7

 

Adam #1 & #2  (Two Seed)

 

Adam #1- natural man: originated in Adam (atom; red earth) and Eve (mother of living). They ate of the tree of the “knowledge of good and evil”, ending their pure fellowship with their Creator. They went against their Creator, giving into the temptation of the “evil one”. The woman was told by the serpent that by eating of the forbidden “fruit” (knowledge of good and evil) they would become as gods, knowing good and evil. All they knew before this was good.

 

     They lost all, and so did the “seed” within him. All part of natural man became lost. Natural man became subject (slave) to vanity & self, with no chance of ever regaining that same fellowship with God? How could they?

 

     Natural man partook of darkness! God is Light, with no darkness in Him! Do you SEE this?

 

     If something that was tainted were mixed with something pure, the pure would no longer be pure. Since God is Light, and His Own Word states that there is no darkness in Him, how can that which is Pure Light mix with anything dark? It cannot be! If perfection mixes with imperfection, then that which was perfect is no more perfect because of the mixing with imperfection!

     Mankind was left totally defeated and separated from the only true Joy he had; fellowship and friendship with God being ended.

 

Adam #2- Spiritual Seed: originated in Jesus Christ, also called the “second Adam” (or atom if you will allow me the freedom). He is the waited for SEED of Faith, fathered (spiritually speaking) by Abraham; the Word of Promise from which would come the nations as the sand of the sea (earthy) and the stars of the sky (heavenly).

 

     This Original Spirit Seed, Who was in the beginning the Originator & Designer of all that was good, became flesh in order to lead us, fallen man of vanity, back unto the Garden from which our natural parents were expelled.

     He is our way back to Papa; Father God. He is the “Bridge” from the earth back to the “Garden and the City of God”!

 

A Virgin

     The young virgin girl named Mary heard the “Word” (Seed) from Gabriel (Gods Chief Messenger). She believed it, and received (conceived) the Word (Seed) into her being. The Word (of God) being conceived in her womb became Flesh; became humanity, like us.

     Is this getting way out there for some of you? Hang in there with me, and the Light (knowledge) will shine into the darkness (understanding). We cannot overlook the major details of this whole “Action”. This is written so that we may find our way back home where we belong. We have to go through the “Flaming Sword” to enter the Garden. This is our escape from death. More on the Flaming Sword later.

 

     This New Creation Seed, Adam #2 (Spirit Seed; the Word of God, from the Belly of God) was and is in itself like the natural to this degree. It was conceived in a woman, and made flesh in order to relate with our lives and concerns and pains, and all that flesh man deals with. But this Seed did not come from the loins of imperfect, infected man, but from the Loins of God Himself (Heaven kisses earth). It contained the Life and Light of God. It was the Love of God! It was conceived in the darkness of the virgin’s womb, grew into a child, and came forth onto the earth, to grow, learning obedience to the Father through the things which He suffered. The Word, being made flesh would grow into full stature of a man for one PURPOSE: to fall into the ground and die, knowing it would not stay dead, but in effect would produce a whole New Creation of Mankind in Its’ Likeness. This Seed is Immortal, Incorruptible, and contains Resurrection Power.

 

     This Resurrection Power could not be realized without the death of the Seed.

 

No Death; No Resurrection

 

     This was also the death blow to death itself. Bye-bye death! Bye-bye old age! Bye-bye grave!

 

     Tom, you’re getting a bit “carried away” now with this stuff. You’ve got to stay within the parameters of my carnal, earthly, stinking thinking. You don’t want to be labeled a nut, do you? It’s too late. Of course, it depends on who’s calling me nuts. If it’s those who are lost, headed towards a grave without the Savior, then it’s okay. I tell them that “you can’t spell nut without “u” in it. Besides, the preaching of the Cross is foolishness to them who perish. If you can believe, all things are possible for you. It only works for you if you believe it. Do you believe God? Do you have to understand God and His Word before you believe? The only way to understand His Word is to first of all have the Spirit of the One Who had men pen it, and to obey what you know to do is right.

 

In Adam #1 ALL died- you died whether you understand it or not.

 

In Adam #2 ALL has been reconciled, whether you believe it or not. He is Jesus Christ, the Beginning (Origin) of a New Race of man; Spirit Men; neither male nor female. Adam #1 caused death to live, so all died. But in Adam #2, the New Creation Man, death died and all mankind been returned back unto “LIFE”!

     Since this has already happened, why then don’t most of us see it taking place? Well, in order to see in this new creation, you must believe….then you will see.

    

     The “old creation” says “if I see it I’ll believe it”. You might get it, and it lasts a while, and then it’s gone. So did you really have it? It’s dead. It’s death!

     The New Creation says, “Hear it (the Word of God), believe it, receive it, act upon it”, and eventually it’s yours, forever if you want. This is Eternal. This is Life! This is Eternal Life!!

 

The Work Has Been Done!

     The “Price” (or cost) for mankind to have this “New Life” has already been paid for with BLOOD; the Blood of God’s Own Son! It is finished! It is already in you! The Kingdom of God is within you! The Throne of God is in His Kingdom, within YOU! The City of God is within you! The Garden is where? Within you!!

 

It is not, “Do this, don’t do that”. But it is, “Seek that which is within you”, as you would seek a good job. Or a nice car, or a wife or a husband, or a home or family …but more so!

     Seek the Kingdom of God first, and the Righteousness that lives there and all of the other things that you might seek after will be added unto you, because God will deny you no good thing if you would seek to know him first. This is Faith and Trust; seeking after that which you cannot see.

 

Seek your own life and die!

Seek His Life and live Forever!!

 

The Book of Books

     The Bible, Gods inerrant Word, is the most popular book in the world, and also the most misunderstood and the most controversial. The reason for this is because it is attempted to be comprehended with carnal, earthly, natural mentality, when it is a heavenly message. It’s like mixing sand and sky!

     Earthly books are read with the brain and understood with the human, earthly mind. The Bible, on the other hand, is a book with a message from God written through human hands (men of God)…… and can be comprehended only as it passes through a man’s open (contrite or broken) mind, and believed, and as it is revealed (shown, shone) by the Living Word springing forth from the man’s awakened spirit!

     When I speak spirit conversation with another son of God, there is no controversy whatsoever; only power. We may even be saying different thing, but it will be the same thing but at different depths or widths.

 

     All arguments come from either man’s interpretation bouncing off another man’s deduction or reasoning or logic; or a spiritual man’s understanding attempting to relay to a carnal, logical man’s interpretation. There will be argument and strife, no doubt…again, mixing sand and sky. The latter reason for the strife should not happen, for a spiritual man should know that to try to relate Gods Word to a natural mind, or pride or intellect or philosophy would be fruitless, unwise, and foolish. The natural mind does not understand the things of the Spirit of God; the Word is foolishness to him.

 

     A spiritual man/woman should not get into controversy and strife, knowing that the spiritual message is for humble, childlike, hungering minds. It is not meant for man’s intellect, no matter how wise. The heavenly message cannot be realized by natural I-know-it man, for this man is lost and thinks he has it together. The Divine Message is for the “poor in spirit”…. The one who realizes his neediness for God.

          The history, geography, geneo-logies (logic) and such of the Word can be explained to a logical, reasoning mind and they will make sense; but sooner or later controversy will enter in. These laws and such are good, but are only there to lead us to the revelation (revealing) of Who God is, through your spirit being quickened or made alive. The Knowledge of God starts small in a person (Seed), and as it grows through child-like believing, the understanding of truth grows.

 

     A sapling doesn’t understand branches and pruning and fruit. It just takes in a little water and slowly grows into the rest…Rest!

     Even without a teacher, one can receive and understand bits and pieces (like gold bits), because the “Teacher” lives inside, where the Seed rooted. A line or phrase of a page can be realized by a little one, and as growth takes place, the mine (MIND) is revealed (unveiled); the Mine (Mind of Christ). It is ours, along with the…….Treasures of Truth (Who you are);

And the Friendship of God!

Dig

     If you haven’t gotten what you need yet to cause a thirst for more, keep digging. You may be inches away from a find. If you keep digging, you will find!....maybe a nugget, then a few, then a “mother-lode”. You’ll strike “OIL” while you’re at it. You’ll find so many riches you won’t know where to put them, but you can rest….Rest!

 

     The Owner of the riches is inside of you, and He will lead you as you obey; He Loves you!! Dig over here! Rest! Talk with other miners. Clean up your workplace. Use a pick! It takes a while to tune in to the Voice of the Teacher. We get static at times. You will realize that you’ve missed His leading at times, and you’ll get frustrated; but if you will endure unto the end, you will be rich, rich, rich!

 

     This book has been entitled “The Garden”, yet I have taken you to other areas of the Spirit Realm; like the Building, the Mine, the City, etc. I am just endeavoring to help you see, and to shed Light (Knowledge), and to yield myself to the “Teacher”. I don’t know exactly where it will go, but I do know this: the Word will not return unto me void, but will accomplish that which it was sent out to do. It will prosper where it was sent; just as the rain that comes down from heaven (the Spirit) that it might give water to the earth (you), that the earth might bring forth “seed” (Word) for the “sower” and “bread” for the eater (those you feed), so it is with my Word.

 

     I hope you feel as good as I do as we grow in the Spirit together. Although feelings and emotions are not my motivators, they are benefits and pleasures that come from following God our Father. Feelings and emotions are His gifts to us, And as they are put in their proper place, promoting pleasure, passing pain, portraying positive power, pushing poor people past poverty, and picking piousness as Power; play precious people, play plenty!

 

PEACE!
