ADAMIC ELEVATION [4]

(…continues from part 3…)

4)            Romans 8:17 “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.” Galatians 4:1-6 “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2) But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:  4) But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5) To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6) And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”

                The eternal Son must place Himself under the law that He gave to Moses. In order to rewrite the law of ‘sin and death,’ the LORD God had to promulgate another law called ‘Spirit of life in Christ Jesus’ (Romans 8:2). By this new and living way, hitherto unknown, but now fully understood, the spirit of our elevation cries out to the Eternality of the Father, calling Him, “Abba Father!” Jesus being the ‘only begotten Son,’ who says Jehovah has no ‘begotten children’ as well? Whoever voices that has no knowledge of God’s word of Adamic elevation. Adamic elevation calls Jehovah, “My Daddy.”

Adamic elevation cries, “Abba, Father!”

                Galatians 4:7, “Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” Indeed the Adamic elevation has brought mankind back to the erstwhile Eden sonship of Adam, when he was sinless. Onto sin we were slaves after the fall of Adam. To those who make the decision to receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour, to them He gives power to become sons of God (John 1:12). The verb ‘become’ is ginomai (ghin’-om-ahee) meaning: ‘to become, i.e. to come into existence, begin to be, receive being’. Ginomai proves that the Adamic elevation to divine sonship came into being, which used not to be hitherto, after the fall.

                Prayer is talking to God. You cannot find any Scriptural quotation intimating of angelic assistance appeal to the LORD GOD. Angels do not pray. They do not have that privilege. Demons dare not open their mouths in prayer to the Most High. They, like the fallen angels – still roasting in Tartarus – cannot pray to God for anything.

Clothed Adam is God’s covering righteousness over sin

                Adamic restoration received its effectivity as soon as the fashioned hides of the sacrificial animals were worn by the pristine couple. The hides’ accoutrements remained a reminder of how the LORD God delivered them from annihilating sin. After that event they began to make periodic oblation to God, their Maker: which restored the rapprochement that existed between the Creator and His created Adamic beings before the fall. There is no way one will bring oblational elements before the Deity without saying or meaning something. Those words of a sacrificant constitute the definition of prayer – talking to God. To the followers of Jesus He says, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it” (John 14:13-14). Psalm 50:14-15 “Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15) And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.”

                Genesis 2:16-17 “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.” Does it not occur to our minds that God did not hold any conversation with the trees, the dust of the ground or the animals? They have no spiritual elevation. Every cool of the evening, the LORD God would stroll in divine Majesty into the Garden of Eden. For what? Of course, it is to hold discussions of daily activities with the Adamic couple of his elevation.

Thou mayest freely eat…

                Genesis  6:13-22 “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. 16) A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 17) And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. 18) But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 19) And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 20) Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. 21) And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. 22) Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.”

                This is the reason why one has cause to read from the Scriptures where it says, “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” (Ephesians 1:3-4): for He had a good determined reason for creating man. He had irrevocably made up His mind to save man with the attendant abundance of eternal life. So, when Noah lived up to expectation, God must enter into another salvaging discussion with man.

Elevated spiritually to become the Bride of Christ

                Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

ADAMIC ELEVATION [3]

(…continues from part 2…)

3)            The One who created the Adamic entity in absolute sinlessness, and who did substitute an innocent ram for his well-deserved death also ultimately offered Himself for the sacrificial atonement. The same gave Himself to Adam to keep Adam in an incorruptible righteousness. Jehovah is God of legality. So, how was the attainment of this incorruptible righteousness perennated, à la evergreen? Jesus Christ sits on the right hand of the Majestic Rainbow Administration, interceding always for the Adamic elevation. Eden sacrificial use of animals was never an afterthought. The Creator had planned it all from the eternity past. Does the word of God not say, in Genesis 1:26 “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.” The ‘likeness’ of Adamic being is of the anthropomorphic dimension of the Godhead, and the ‘image’ of him is of the Christ, who also, is the perfect physical manifestation of the Godhead. Hallelujah! God had thought it through and through.

God spared not the angels that sinned (2Peter 2:4)

                Jehovah’s bourne was to have enough legality to send Lucifer and his demons and the other fallen angels to hell forever. Hebrews 7:3-25 “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 21) (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 22) 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.”  If Melchizedek could assume the type and shadow status of the Christ, spiritually, for His eventual emergence, the protocolary legality has been duly satisfied. CHRIST, it is, – not Melchizedec – Who remains the High Priest of the elevation of regenerate Adam forever! Amen!

The throne room of the Majesty is roofless.

                1Timothy 2:3-6 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6) Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” Jesus is truly the providential gift to the fallen Adam, an offer already disposed in the eternal mind of Divinity.

                John 14:1-3 “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”. The splendiferousness that marks celestial pageantry of Adamic elevation is evident in this verse. I have heard it from very famous pastors and evangelical giants that God had shown them their empyrean homes. Are there truly physical, palatial houses of empyreal realm? The words of this scripture will unveil the truth. The Greek word for ‘house’ in the second verse is oikia (oy-kee’-ah): ‘properly residence (abstractly), but usually (concretely) an abode (literally or figuratively); by implication a family (especially domestics).’

The throne room of celestial Majesty

                ‘Mansions’ is monē (mon-ay’): ‘a staying, that is residence (the act or the place); room’. ‘Place’ is topos (top’-os): ‘a spot (generally in space, but limited by occupancy; – whereas chōra (kho’-rah) is the space lying between two places or limits; a region or country, i.e. a tract of land is a larger but particular locality), that is, location (as a position, home, tract, etc.).’ We understand that academical definition of ‘mansion’ makes it not only more grandeur but much bigger than a conventional ‘house’. How to fit a ‘mansion’ under or into a ‘house’ looks like a problem here. If there are mansions in the celestial realm, the LORD GOD will be living in one.

                Can you fathom God Almighty residing in a roofed edifice? Well, for God to place His Divinity under a roofing structure limits His Almightiness. The entire expanse of celestial realm is the abode and palatial throne of His Majesty. This is the only place in the entire scripture where ‘mansions’ is scripted – making its couch a hapax legomenon –; and it simply means, from the understanding of monē, a room as in ‘space’. There are many spaces or simply put, the throne room is ‘roomy’ enough to take those who believe in and receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour. His going before us is to make room or a spot or place for us. Jesus Christ definitely must be the Host from Whom we learn to be a good host. He is the Host before any other. Why? That in all things He must take preeminence (Colossians 1:18) where ‘preeminence,’ proteuo (prō-tev’-ō) means: ‘to be first (in rank or influence).’

Billions of angels around the throne

                Am I missing something? Oh, yes, the ‘house’. What about the ‘house’? Being more subjective, it is in reference to the heavenly ‘family’. “In my Father’s ‘family’ are many ‘spaces’; and I am going to prepare a ‘spot’ for you. That where I am visibly seen, there you will be seated together with Me,” rendered paraphrastically are the words of our Lord Jesus. Most exhilarating is the very place of our celestial sojourn. It is sacredly beside the throne of the Majestic Rainbow Administration! Talk about being the heir of God Himself! Where is the seat of Jesus in heaven? Right hand of God. That is where Adamic elevation promotes us! Hallelujah!

Acquitted and discharged is the BRIDE

                Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

ADAMIC ELEVATION [2]

  “And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:2).

(…continues from part 1…)

2)            According to the intention of the Divinity, God the Father spoke attainability into creationism. The Holy Spirit, the Third Member of the Godhead, meanwhile, generated the necessary energy of engenderment. And to effectuate the viability of creationism was the physical appearance of the Second Member of the Godhead, the Christ. Four thousand years down the Adamic race of existentiality, the ultimate price was paid on the cross of Golgotha to establish the substitutionary death. Four, by the way, is the number of creation: for in creation, it was in the day number four that the objects of illumination were called into being. After the death, resurrection, ascension and His divine session (Psalm 110:1; Mark 16:19 and Luke 22:69), it was time to fulfil the promise of Holy Spirit indwelling of the souls of regeneration – to rejuvenate the dead spirit of Adam’s fall.

…From a dead situation to becoming a living soul – Adam.

                John 14:16-18 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” The indwelling of the Holy Spirit puts the LORD God in charge of the soul of the redeemed. Adam is no longer in control of his life. God owns it completely, having made a full payment of his redemption. John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” That He will teach Adamic creatures all things essentially makes the Holy Spirit the empyreal Lord of creation because only God knows all things. Coming under the direct tutelage of Divinity is an elevation of the catechumen.       

“…but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, …be endued with power from on high”

                Luke 24:49 “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Acts 2:1-4 “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

                Given the Holy Spirit, we are carriers of God. This Adamic elevation is the most incredible reality that adorns the mysterious life of Adamic regenerative facticity. Brought under the divine tutelage of the Holy Spirit, the Bible, God’s abstruse infallibility of verbalism becomes clear as crystal. And all that Adam, in his regeneration, has to do is just open his mouth; and flowing through is the glossolalia, too divinely hot for the wicked enemy of Christianity. Lucifer or any of his malicious cohorts will hear this outburst of seemingly prattle of innocency; but in the spiritual sphere they constitute poisonous darts of warfare – bad business for Satanism. Hallelujah!

The elevated Adam is the Bride of Christ.

                Led by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the effusions of the glossolalist hit hard on the invading Lucifer, and the evil one will be left with no choice but to scamper off with its mammoth, old dragon tail between its hind legs. Of truth is the Scriptural “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). The word ‘resist’ is anthistēmi (anth-is’-tay-mee) in Greek, meaning: ‘to set one’s self against, to withstand, oppose.’ Now what many quoters of the Bible do not know is that this verse, from the Book of James, commences with, “Submit yourselves therefore to God:” where the ‘submit’ is hupotassō (hoop-ot-as’-so): ‘to arrange under, to subordinate; put in subjection; obey.’ Hupotassō practically enjoins you to ‘package yourself and place it under an entity of your focus.’ The elevation of Adam comes from the fact that his desiderative wish is borne out of empyreal bourne: a bourne that engenders holy conjugal relationship with Christ. Having submitted to the will of the Eternal Father, the elevated Adam operates under empyreal legality to stand against the wiles of the Devil, sending him fleeing seven ways, having approached Adam from just one wicked path. Hallelujah!

The dead is reborn into glory of the Son

                Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin.

ADAMIC ELEVATION [1]

….and Adam became a living creature of breath (Genesis 2:7)

1)            From the onset of creationism it was nothing short of glaring pellucidity that the Adamic creature would receive providential abundance. It was clear that God did pamper Adam with the sanctified justification of regeneration. This one would be quite different from the creativity that went into the making of the empyreal angelic hosts. He is different from the making of the beings that became demons – for their alignment with Satanism in the aftermath of Lucifer’s leading of the angelic conflict. Out of Adam is raised the glorious species called Christians. Hallelujah!

                Was Adam not a lifeless heap of dust? The scoop that was contained in the creative cupped of the Creator’s hands was a lifeless clayey stuff: dead at the point of contact. The minute the heap of dust received a sparge mixture in the Creator’s sculptural creativity it was clear that zoe kind of life was about to be invested in this dead heap of Adam. What is Adam? It is the Hebraic âdâm (aw-dawm’) -mankind- which comes from its root âdam (aw-dam’): ‘ruddy: from the native colour of the earth.’ If Adam was brought out from the deadness of the redness of its nativity (the soil), and was first sculptured into a lifeless, likeness of the Creator, it was clear that God was dealing with a dead situation.

Let us make man. And Christ made Adam.

                Then it occurred: the unbelievable miracle. The LORD God joined Himself to the dead situation, embraced the piece of sculptural work, and personally breathed into it, not one life but two lives. Astounding! Unbelievable! God was about to create someone who would receive divine pamper. “Adam, I will pamper you. Sin a million times and I will continue to forgive you,” that was the breath God ventilated into Adam – to humiliate Lucifer. Adam became God’s most precious possession of creationism.

                This is the first time Adam’s elevation becomes a revelation: “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). The lifeless mass of Adam – as purely work of art – lay on the ground. If God did not go any further in His creativity, Adam would have been nothing but a sculptural masterpiece to adorn the Eden Garden aesthetically. The divine breath of Jehovah engendered a metamorphosis unknown to scientific calculation.

The sculptural piece of art became a living soul

                The clayey stuff changed, internally, into heart, lungs, kidneys, intestines et cetera, et cetera. The newly developed veins began to receive a flow of scarlet fluid of life. His eyes popped opened and they saw, for the first time, the Creator; and he knew without being verbally told that Adam was beholding his Maker. He rose up from the initial dead situation of dust-mass. This Adam received elevation among several mass of earth. While other masses of dust remained lying lifelessly, Adam, the man of God’s creation stood up, a living entity. Amen.   

“Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?” (Genesis 3:11)

                He and his wife, Adam the female, were wanting for nothing good for them. Then one day, unfortunately, they became sin stained – ready to be thrown into annihilation. They deserved, according to the law, to die; but unknown to them, the grace of God was about to be showered on them. Instead of sentencing them to an early death, two lambs of their domestic rear were made to be sentenced to a substitutionary death for them. Animals of sinlessness became the victims of Adamic culpability. The sacrifice brought back their lost lives.

                And the legality involvement stems from the two breathed lives into Adam. From the Hebraic point of couch, it reads, ‘breath of lives’ – animal and intellectual lives. Lucifer knew what button of punch manipulability to strike to appeal to the animalistic nature of Adam. The thing is that God created an Adamic entity whom He had decided, long before his creation, to forgive, ergo, Adam must possess an intellectual life, able to reason with his Creator. Breathed into Adam were the soul and spirit; the soul is the seat of his carnal emotionalism while the spirit is Adamic rendezvous with the Holy Spirit. At the fall he died spiritually. God was actually ready for that unfortunate eventuality – the Creator killed animals to sustain his life till the substitutionary death of Golgotha.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7)

                Adam was made – truth be told – to put paid to the spiritual invasion of Satanism. That explains the rationale behind God’s personal attention when it came to the creation of man. Jehovah did not only make physical contact of sculptural artistry, He moved physically, with the wind of change in His holy mouth, and poured it into the Adamic work of art, probably yet to lose its sparge, through its nose. Adam is God’s personal issue. It, I believe, should still be under the influence of the sparge: for water is an emblem of the Holy Spirit. Out of Adam came, by the Incarnation of the Christ, the Redeemer of Adamic fall.

Adamic elevation must show forth praises of Him – the Creator.

                Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION [nine]

(…continues from part eight…)

9)            Last of all let me use the Personage of the Word of God as the one to learn obedience and submission. Jesus. He is the perfection of humility. God does not get Himself bound by His word because the word is greater than His divine Being, as the logical reasoning of humanity will weakly allow in the heart. God binds Himself by His word so that man will learn to humble his own intelligence before God. Jehovah God and His Word are one and the same. Finding Himself in the likeness of an Adamic creature, Jesus Christ won the heart of humanity as the quintessence of submissiveness in obedience. At age twelve, even though Mary and Joseph made the mistake of not making sure that Jesus was going home with them before embarking on the journey of days, and for the fact that it was made crystal clear that the One they were dealing with is the only begotten Son of God, Jesus, the Bible says, “And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart” (Luke 2:51). Jesus taught the Church submission, Who first brought Himself under subjection. The word ‘subject’ is hupotassō (hoop-ot-as’-so) which I have earlier defined as: ‘subordinate’ or in case of the wife, ‘package yourself very well and place it under your husband.’

                Spirit beings of foulness are not unaware of the Person of Jesus whom we think is just an ordinary person. Matthew 8:29 “And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?” They know what we do not know: that this Jesus Christ is the ultimate Judge of the empyreal assizes. Another recording of His personality is seen in Luke 4:33-34 “And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, 34) Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.” Who is this Holy One of God? He is the Person of Daniel 9:24 “most Holy” couch. Jesus, the Messiah, is the antitype to the holy of holies part of the Temple. He is the One to be consecrated as the blessed Lord, the Holy one of Israel; the Prophet, Priest and King of mankind.

The daughter of Jairus

                Possessing these quiddities of Divinity Jesus did not wait till He was called before going out to preach the word of God. He was ready to visit the house of the centurion, even if he had not exhibited great faith. Humility. To prove that He meant really to enter into their abodes, the man whose twelve years old girl needed divine attention led Him to his house. The Creator was in their home and they knew it not. Was He not the Lord and Master of His disciples? When it dawned on Thomas that the One whose vaticinatory asseveration spread throughout the Scriptures stood before him after His resurrection, he could not help in his famous exclamatory words of John 20:28 “And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.”

“…that ye should do as I have done to you…” [John 13:15]

                This same Jesus had humbly performed the duty of a servant which the ethical upbringing of Peter found quite objectionable. John 13:5-15 v.5) “After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.6) Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? V.8) Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 12-15) So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 13) Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14) If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15) For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.” The humility lesson stuck: for they had learned from the Master.”

He is despised and rejected of men [Isaiah 53:3]

                How could the Creator of the world bend so low? How could He offer Himself for the substitutionary death to engender the workability of the soteriological cause? Obedience to the cause of salvation and total submission to the will of the Godhead made it possible. Philippians 2:5-11 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

“I am Alpha and Omega” [Revelation 1:8]

                Jesus was essentially equal to the Father. Just as the First Member of the Godhead is God the Father, Jesus is called the everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6). The Father is All-powerful. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8). The Father is All-knowing; and Jesus? He is the person of Colossians 2:2-3 “That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3) In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Jesus knows everything – having hid in Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge – a sole attribute of the Divinity. Is the Eternal Father omnipresent? Yes. Jesus is physically present with us spiritually. Matthew 18:19-20 “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Millions, in different places, across the globe do pray every second. If Jesus is ever present among every praying group, is He not omnipresent? Selah!

Christ has always been the Old Testamentary LORD God 

                 The man Jesus is different from the Christ. Christ has always been. Jesus began His life in the matrix of Mary. The Incarnation engendered the hypostatic union; which is the compound of God and man, such that the man becomes eternally fused into the Godhead. This is the most astounding miracle. Jesus allowed the will of Christ to prevail; consequently, Jesus never committed one single sin all His earthly days. Jesus has blissfully formed an unalterable compound with the Christ. He earned it through obedience and submission.     

                Say this prayer, meaning it with all your heart:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
