the Last Adam

The first Adam was a living being (1 Corinthians 15:45a) created in the image and likeness of God, but the “ancient serpent” lied, manipulated, and deceived by offering something Adam and Eve already had. They fell for it; cast out of the first garden, separated from God. In the fullness of time, God sent Jesus (Galatians 4:4-7); the last Adam died, was buried, resurrected on the third day, ascended back to His Father, now IS glorified at the Right Hand of God, our Father through Jesus, sending true believers the Holy Spirit to be able to conquer, overcome, triumph over, have victory over evil, sin, death, and the works of the devil IN CHRIST; having the glory (John 17:22-23; Revelation 21:11) as your inner light and the Risen Lamb as your new lamp (Revelation 21:23); drinking deeply with delight from the abundance of glory (Isaiah 66:11; John 4:10,24, 7:37-39; Revelation 21:6, 22:17); taking Risen Christ Jesus’ Right Hand where the fullness of joy and pleasures of God are located (Psalm 16:11).

Apart from Christ is the old fallen, broken, lacking, limited darkness of unsatisfaction, hope deferred making the heart sick, sin making the soul sick, hosting unclean spirits, under the law of sin and death, giving satan the legal right to hurt and harm you.

But God! when we come out of this present dark world system (Ephesians 6:11-12), mystery babylon where demons haunt, familiar unclean spirits that dwell under the god of this world who blinds minds of unbelievers in Jesus (Revelation 18:2-4), we come to Christ and no longer take part in her sins; we no longer share in her plagues IN CHRIST (18:4); we come under the law of the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:1-2) and Truth (John 16:13) and Holiness (Romans 1:4) under the Son of God, under His Blood, under the standard of Righteousness in Christ and Christ in you; under the King of kings and Lord of lords, under the Word and the Spirit of God Almighty!

What a difference a DAY makes! the day of the Cross, the ruler of this world was judged (John 12:31, 16:11) and three days later Jesus resurrected the NEW creation IN HIMSELF, so every person is able to CHOOSE using their God-given free will to come to Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30) and receive Jesus in you, salvation, redemption, forgiveness of sins, justification, called, choosing life and blessings, dying to death and curses and sin, resurrecting WITH CHRIST (John 12:32; Colossians 2:10-15), coming alive to righteousness WITH CHRIST, born again aNEW from Above of God, of Spirit, of Living Water!

“I have been crucified WITH CHRIST; it is no longer I who live, but CHRIST who lives in me; the life I NOW live, I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me and gave HIMSELF for me” Galatians 2:20

“My little children I am in travail until Christ be formed in you” Galatians 4:19

“Glory only in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world…a NEW creation” Galatians 6:14-15

God is a consuming fire, shaking and removing all but the kingdom of the Son of Righteousness remaining remains in you (Hebrews 12:22-29); no longer of fallen Adam but of risen Christ Jesus, the Life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45b).

Seeking FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness so ALL of Christ might be given to you; dead to sin and alive to righteousness (Matthew 6:33; 1 Peter 2:24; Romans 5:17, 6:11; Colossians 2:11-13). Seeing and entering the kingdom of God and His righteousness as a born-again child of God (John 3:3-8); of spirit by the Spirit of God; having His peace in Christ, His joy in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit in you! under the NEW law of the Spirit of Life! the Spirit of resurrection Life! the same Spirit that raised Jesus raises you (Romans 8:11; John 12:32) into risen Christ, into Himself, so you can be hidden WITH CHRIST in God our Father (Colossians 3:3); maturing IN CHRIST.

“In that DAY you will KNOW that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you” ~Jesus in John 14:20

“The Words I speak to you make you clean. Abide in Me and I in you” ~Jesus in John 15:3-4

“To those who have OBTAINED a faith of equal standing with ours in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His Divine Power has granted to us ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His Own glory and excellence, by which He has granted to us His precious and very great Promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature” 2 Peter 1:1-4

“If you keep My Word and don’t deny My Name…I will keep you from the hour of trial coming upon the whole world” ~Risen Glorified Jesus the Christ in Revelation 3:8,10

Ask and receive, attain, obtain, acquire, HAVE, take, retain, sustain, possessing the kingdom of God and His righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, by the Holy Spirit and fire that consumes the old (Hebrews 12:29) and forms the new in you.

“Therefore, if any one is IN CHRIST, you are a NEW creation, the old has passed away, behold, the NEW has come” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Continue in the Words of Jesus and KNOW the Truth and the TRUTH makes you free! Continue to eat the MEAT of the Word, the Living, Active, Abiding, Imperishable Seed of the Word, the life and Spirit of Jesus, to mature in Christ, the Fountain of Water of Life given to you without payment, for Jesus make the FULL payment for your sins in His Blood; taking the Water of Life without price, for Jesus paid in FULL so you can receive the abundance of grace and free gift of righteousness to reign in life THROUGH Jesus (Romans 5:17) considering yourself dead to sin and coming alive together WITH CHRIST in God our Father (6:11); hidden WITH Christ in God (Colossians 3:3) and Christ, the hidden manna in you, the new name in you (Revelation 2:17) when you conquer, overcome, triumph in victory IN CHRIST and CHRIST in you; the Son of Righteousness rising in you (Malachi 4:1-3); the morning star rising in you (1 Peter 1:19); the Light of Risen Christ’s fire and glory in you (Luke 11:33-36); the kingdom of God within you (Luke 17:20-21).

“For as in Adam all die, so also IN CHRIST all made alive” 1 Corinthians 15:22

“For we are powerless against this great multitude that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon Thee [Risen Glorified Christ Jesus]…Stand before the Lord [come boldly to the Throne of God our Father through Jesus through the Blood, through the Cross, the new Living Way, Hebrews 4:11-12,16, 5:14, 6:1-5, 7:22,25, 8:6-7,13, 9:26,28, 10:10-23]…And the Spirit of the Lord comes upon [you]…And He says, ‘Hearken…Fear not, and be not dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God’s…Go… AGAINST them [stand in Christ against evil (Ephesians 6:11-12, 13-19) and stand in Christ against lawlessness against God under the activity of satan (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12]…You will not need to fight in this battle; take your position [in Christ in God in righteousness with Christ in you], stand still [be still, knowing God is greater than anything or anyone; NOTHING is too hard for God; Jesus has already overcome this world, and Christ in you is GREATER than he who is in this world], and see the Victory of the Lord on your behalf” 2 Chronicles 20:12-17

“Take Counsel [the sevenfold Spirit of the Lord, Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, Knowledge, Reverential Awe and Wonder]… singing to the Lord and praising Him in holy array [as many as are baptized into Christ, putting on Christ, Galatians 3:27] and say,

“Give thanks to the Lord,
    for his steadfast love endures for ever.”

And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against [the enemy that is at war against believers in Jesus in God, Revelation 17:13-14] who comes against [God’s beloveds], so that the [enemy, adversary, lying lion devourer, thieves, robbers, stealers, killers, destroyers] were routed…Rise [in Christ and Christ in you] against those who host the unclean spirits of the fallen old heavenly places, Ephesians 6:12]…God will destroy them utterly [the ungodly are destined to be destroyed by fire, 2 Peter 3:7]…makes an end of them… the [evil ones; evil doers] all help to destroy one another” 2 Chronicles 20:21-23

“And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of [Risen Christ Jesus]. So the realm [new in Christ and Christ in you]…was quiet, for [our] God gives [us] His Rest round about [in Christ and Christ in you]” 2 Chronicles 20:29-30

In the old testament, under the old covenant types, shadows, patterns, and copies of heavenly things, Christ-concealed becomes the revealed Risen Christ (Revelation 1:1) in the NEW covenant under the Blood of the Risen Glorified Lamb of God who ransomed us for God out of EVERY tribe, tongue, people, and nation, made us a KINGDOM and priests to God our Father, reigning WITH Christ (Romans 5:17, 6:11; Revelation 5:9-10, 20:6); our only boasting is in God, knowing we can do NOTHING apart from Christ and receive NOTHING with a double-mind, instead of the Spirit of God renewing our mind IN CHRIST, putting on the NEW nature, created NOW, not long ago, after the likeness of God in TRUE righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:23; Isaiah 48:6-7).

Again, as long ago, the devil is trying to give you what you already have if you are a NEW creation in Christ in God, through the Cross; the new watered garden of your redeemed soul shepherded and guarded by the True Shepherd, the Risen Glorified Lamb of God Who guides you to the springs of Living Water to drink (Revelation 7:17) where nothing cursed, evil, dark, abominable, or false can enter in Christ and Christ in you, when you believe Jesus, conquer belief in the world’s earthly, unspiritual, devilish wisdom (James 3:15), asking and receiving and thanking God for His Wisdom from Above (James 3:17-18); asking and receiving EVERY good endowment and EVERY perfect gift from Above from the Father of lights (James 1:16-18), those with Christ in you, the Light of God, the Light of resurrection Life and Spirit of the Word in you (John 1:1-9, 6:35,63; Luke 11:33-36; Matthew 5:14).

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who HEARS My Word and BELIEVES Him Who sent Me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but HAS PASSED from death to life” ~Jesus in John 5:24

“I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His Power in us who believe, according to the working of His great might which He accomplished in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and made Him sit at His right hand in the [new] heavenly places, FAR ABOVE ALL rule and authority and power and dominion, and ABOVE EVERY name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come; and He has put ALL THINGS under his feet and has made him the HEAD OVER ALL THINGS for the church, which is His [risen] Body, the fulness of Him who fills all in all” Ephesians 1:16-23

“For IN CHRIST the whole fullness of the Godhead is pleased to dwell bodily, and you come to FULLNESS of life IN HIM, Who is the HEAD of ALL rule and authority. IN HIM, you also” Colossians 2:9-11
