Genesis 7-8

COMPLETE RECYCLE

Passage/s: Genesis 7-8; Ps. 2; Prov. 13; Matt. 3-4

In that great flood, everything was renewed. The seed of every creation was preserved. One seed also survived; the seed of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. It’s in the seat of man’s innermost, even after the great cleansing flood, just waiting to unfold.

Message of GOD For Me Today:

The mind is one powerful tool. It is the one thing that the enemy destroyed to fatally disable GOD’s image and likeness. It is also the focus of Jesus’ ministry. The word “repent” simply means change your mind.

A paradigm shift needs to take place to be compatible with The Source and be rightly connected to HIM. Any computer program users know this basic. The fundamental fix of man is CONNECTION, the very heart of the gospel.

Apostle Paul admonished “be transformed by the renewing of your mind”. The good and perfect will of GOD will run in ones life whose mind is renewed.  Receive from GOD by knowing everything is on the house, it’s on JESUS’ bruised and bloodied physical house.

Promise of GOD For My Life:

“I have installed my KING on Zion, My Holy Hill.” Ps. 2:6 It will only be a matter of time that the KING becomes visibly seated on earth. Right now, JESUS is seated with the FATHER in the heavenly/spiritual realm. Faith takes power from this ground, that JESUS has been given FULL AUTHORITY TO RULE invisibly. 

Commandments To Obey:

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

1. Eat the Word of GOD. “..man shall not live by bread alone.” (Matt. 4:4)
2. Have the mind of GOD. “Do not put the Lord your GOD to a test.” (Matt. 4:7)
3. Have the passion for GOD. “..worship the Lord your GOD, and serve HIM only.” (Matt. 4:10)

Warning:

Idea can destroy mind; that is the enemy’s simplest principle for mass destruction. The enemy gets power from deception. Power for power; mind for mind. The enemy gets power from taking power out of a brilliant mind, fatally disabling it.

Application/Commitment:

I cannot renew my mind on my own. I need the power from the word of GOD to replenish the power loss. I need GOD’s idea. I need GOD’s mind. Good thing is, HE is offering it. HE did not just say repent and did nothing about it. HE was actually saying “have my MIND. Get power from ME”.

1. Read the Bible today, listen to grace message from Ptr. JP

2. Own the the Word of GOD.

3. Enjoy GOD’s presence by the Word inside me.

Matthew 28:18–19
18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19Go therefore…

Genesis 5-6

Passage/s: Genesis 5-6; Ps. 1; Prov. 9; Matt. 1-2

Message of GOD For Me Today:

“Noah did everything GOD commanded him.” (Gen. 8:22 When GOD gives clear instructions to me, HE meant me to carry-out a global mission. I may not see it that way, but the impact will be felt by the world sooner or later. The little things that I do for GOD may mean the world to a person, a whole city, a whole nation… the whole world. I must be decided to do one thing all the way.   

Promise of GOD For My Life:

The instruction of the LORD is more than man can carry-out. GOD meant to do it HIMSELF through man. Nothing stops GOD. All heavens and earth cooperates to accomplish the GOD-given task of man. “Blessed is the man… (whose) delight is in the law of the LORD. Whatever he does prospers.” (Ps. 1:1-3)

Commandments To Obey:

Carry-out GOD’s instruction. Everything must be done. It’s all or none.

Warning:

Ark-building what? Nobody had done it, it cannot be done! GOD just loved to give mind-screamer projects. What’s my mind-screamer?

It’s going to take all of me. I better love doing it. Noah did not finish the Arc in a month or a year… he worked on the ark for a hundred years.

Important of all, I must do it for no one but the Lord. If Noah was particular about people’s praises, he would think twice of building the biggest sea-boat on top of the mountain – it’s insane! Nobody ever attempted doing a hundred year construction for the biggest sea-boat where there is no sea.

It’s going to demand my time, my energy, my mind, money and more of money where there’s none. (Looking at it in another viewpoint, Noah must have been very rich to have poured-out huge resources for a project that spans a hundred years. What a blessed man he was!)

Application/Commitment:

Go all the way with this, every day. Love this. It’s going to demand for more from me but heaven and earth will cooperate to accomplish this
GOD-given task. Thank you Lord!

Genesis 3-4

YOU WILL BECOME LIKE GOD

The Serpent was more crafty… the master of  half-truth or “white-lies” (lie: “Did GOD really say, ‘you must not eat form ANY tree in the garden?’”). It’s craftiness masterfully misled the woman who had not received GOD’s Word directly, but only heard from somebody. How easy it is to fall prey to this Serpent if we don’t have GOD’s Word. It is very important to feast on GOD’s Word daily.

Four thousand years later, this Serpent also said to Jesus as it did to the woman in effect: ‘EAT’, referring to the stone. While the woman didn’t realize she was in GOD’s likeness, Jesus knew He is the SON of GOD. That is why HIS tempter challenged HIS identity using the Holy Sriptures instead of offering an identity of GODship. Fortunately, Jesus knew the Holy Scriptures by heart, and more than that, He knew GOD’s heart.

THE STONE

What was the Serpent’s glaring advertisement to Eve, and MAN in general? That “you will be(come) like GOD, knowing good and evil.”. The FRUIT (of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), supposedly makes a MAN become like GOD. The Serpent made it appear that the effect of eating this fruit is becoming like GOD, when GOD said the effect is death. Crash the fairytale story about Eve eating the apple because to all its like, there’s nothing sweet or beautiful about the FRUIT. It was not a bad FRUIT, but it was not intended for MAN. It was to be a tithe to everything that MAN ought to enjoy. It was GOD’s portion. And so was the STONE that Satan used to tempt JESUS. The STONE speaks of the LAW (written and engraved on STONE). The LAW is not bad, GOD Himself gave the LAW. MAN cannot handle the LAW. When GOD gave the LAW to Moses, it was set on a stone. HE instructed to put it in the ARK covered with the Mercy Seat. It was not intended to be handled by MAN. People died from handling this STONE, literally.

THE FRUITS

There were two trees in the middle of the Garden of Eden, bearing two different kinds of fruits.

The Tree of Life bears the fruit called Life.

The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil bears the fruit called Knowledge of Good and Evil. In other words, its fruit is the LAW. The LAW defines what is good and what is evil. The LAW also condemns. That’s how it kills, by condemnation. That is why GOD clearly said, “when you eat of it, you will surely DIE”.

The LAW (letter) kills but the Spirit gives LIFE. The Holy Spirit is not LIFE, JESUS is. HE said “I AM... the LIFE”. JESUS does not give life, HE is LIFE. By receiving HIM, we get HIM -we get LIFE. The Holy Spirit gives LIFE, HE gives JESUS. HIS primary role on earth is to convict MAN of sin, the sin of not receiving JESUS. And when MAN is convicted of this particular sin, HE gives JESUS – HE gives LIFE.

While the STONE kills, JESUS covered it and HE died. HE is the MERCY SEAT that covered the ARK containing the STONE. While the LAW condemns, Jesus covered it. The LAW is potent, it is very effective that all its strength against all sins of all mankind took effect on JESUS’ body on the cross. There is none left un-condemned at the cross, none for us to take home and rot.  

NO MORE CONDEMNATION

The tithe of all that MAN ought to enjoy was the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It represents all the fruits MAN can enjoy. Because of the tithe of fruits, all fruits became fit for MAN to eat. MAN was condemned for violating the tithe and the ground was cursed. MAN ages because of the sentence of death. Aging is slow dying. Sickness, poverty and bitterness were everywhere because the fruits were not the same as when all fruits were tithed.

The tithe of all mankind is JESUS. JESUS represents all mankind. When HE died, all MAN served the death sentence at the cross by JESUS. When a sentence had been served, it cannot be sentenced again as in the Law of Double Jeopardy. There is only one sentence for MAN, the Holy Scripture says “for the wages of sin is death”. The death sentence had been executed. MAN is left with zero-sentence. Not just one man freed, but all mankind, Christ being the tithe of all mankind.

BECOMING LIKE GOD

The Serpent deceived MAN who have the image and likeness of GOD, by saying “you will BECOME like GOD…” Becoming what he already is was a lousy salesmanship, nevertheless, MAN fell for it.

MAN did not do anything to be like GOD. It’s natural for him to be like GOD. He was made by GOD to be like GOD. MAN never needed the LAW (the fruit of knowledge of good and evil) to be righteous, he was already righteous at that time. His righteousness sprang from GOD’s righteousness, being a creation made in GOD’s own image and likeness.

Now, by the righteousness of JESUS CHRIST, MAN has the image and likeness of GOD. MAN is already righteous regardless of religion, LAW or good deed. MAN is righteous by JESUS’ finished work on the cross.

The Serpent has seen many Eve in the world, still thinking that they need to become like GOD when they already are. In great irony, the Serpent has worked hand-in-hand with religion to make MAN think he needs the LAW to be like GOD for centuries after Jesus died on the cross to fulfill the LAW. Don’t let the Serpent fool you too.

Introduction: Genesis 1-2

TIME

Before anything else, GOD was already present -GOD, immortal, uncreated, beyond finite knowledge and beyond time. HE was already glorious, already mighty and nothing was above HIM. All elements known to MAN, is created, including time and space extending to the farthest length of the whole universe.

Why don’t we fully understand the truth about GOD? Because our minds are marred by sin and framed by natural laws that GOD is not subject to. For instance, GOD is the Alpha and Omega. Naturally, it’s unthinkable to have no beginning and no end. We don’t understand this because our minds are oriented by what existed in the natural. This particular natural phenomenon that limits our understanding about GOD existed when the ancient book said “there was evening, and there was morning” every day through out the 7-day creation. We call it TIME.

Time started ticking on day one and it continues to tick today.

We are now stepping the sixth day of the TIME OF MAN, nearing the 7^th. Seven is always resting time. The first SEVEN-DAY was creation, and GOD rested. The 2^nd SEVEN-DAY is the TIME OF MAN.

I attest, to most this is a blur. Do not read the prints in blue unless you love to search some clue.

On the seventh day, MAN will also REST. Before rest culminates, HE will gather and bring the church (those who are dead will rise first, then those that are alive will be caught up with JESUS in the clouds) to heaven via rupture in time for the BEMA seat (sometimes referred to as the marriage feast of the Lamb). In a little while after the grand reunion, HE will call all HIS enemies down to the final battle at Armageddon and defeat them all. The Serpent will be sentenced of imprisonment for a thousand years in the Abyss. Those who died after the rupture, because of their testimony for Jesus, will be in the first resurrection to reign with Christ at the Millineal Kingdom. Then shall JESUS CHRIST reign on earth, and the church will reign with HIM. The remnants of the war, those who are still alive and are in their natural mortal bodies will live in the kingdom and populate the earth.

To GOD, a day is a thousand years. The 7^th day lasts for a thousand years. This Sabbath-Rest of a thousand years will be unprecedented because the Serpent is away in Abyssal prison, and JESUS will fully reign in body on earth. When the thousand-year Sabbath is over, the Serpent will be released from the Abyss and will campaign against the government of Christ, winning multitudes of the earth’s mortal inhabitants. At this, they will be burned by fire from heaven and the Serpent who leads them thrown into hell where its comrades had been in perpetual torment.

The end of the Old Order of things (Rev.21:4) wraps-up on the Great White Throne beyond space (and time?), where GOD calls to judgment all the dead. This is the 2^nd resurrection. Only those who did not take part in the first resurrection are judged. They are those who rejected Christ when they were alive. They will come to stand before GOD and be judged according to their deeds. They will all end up in hell.

The scripture stops to be written after the glimpse of the new heaven and new earth. Will time stop too?  

MAN

GOD, with all HIS glory and splendor, created everything in preparation for HIS ultimate creation. He planted a garden and made everything ready, including a body, for HIS one special masterpiece. This creation was to be very special because HE creates him out of HIS own substance -spirit, and formed his suit of dust by HIS own hands. No other creation was made from HIS substance or created by HIS very hands. Everything else was made by HIS WORD. HE called HIS masterpiece MAN. When HE calls him MAN, GOD referred to HIS substance in MAN, the spirit.

Everything was perfect, and nothing was not until satan from the spiritual world disrupts the MIND of MAN and succeeded in planting a mind like his – independent from GOD. The whole natural world system crashed just because it failed to connect to GOD, the SOURCE. MAN carried every created thing with him on that great fall because HE was the chief, the king of the whole natural world. MAN’s power, energy and Life rest on the SOURCE. MAN stopped tapping on the source when he embraced an idea by satan that MAN can be like GOD apart from GOD. This idea started from eating the FRUIT of The Tree Of Knowledge Of Good and Evil. The idea that MAN has to do it himself, instead of relying on GOD creates self-awareness. MAN begins to see himself and he saw his nakedness because his glory was snuffed-out. He begins to fear and worry since the planted idea makes him self-occupied. He does not recognize GOD’s presence, nor is he inclined to enter it. Outside GOD’s presence, MAN is vulnerable to GOD’s enemy. As GOD’s image, he is a favorite object of scorn.

THE TWO TREES

Contrary to popular knowledge, only the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was forbidden. It was to be a tithe of all the trees, holy unto the LORD. It was the only tree out of multitude of trees that is intended for GOD alone. Although this knowledge is recorded in the ancient book, so much misconception was successfully spread by the lie of the Serpent. There were two Trees in the middle of the garden and Eve did not know which was forbidden because she only said “the tree in the middle of the garden”. The other Tree was called the Tree of Life because naturally the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil can bring death. GOD already planned a remedy if MAN ever eats of death. The Tree of Life had to wait for the fullness of time for it to be offered. Indeed the FRUIT of the Tree of Life hanged on its Tree in Calvary where LIFE was offered.

We had been far too disconnected from GOD that we don’t know how to get to HIM or even know HIM. Death has its way to delude minds that even the absurdist of objects becomes god to us. We have had affinity with bad relationships because bitter pain is sweet to the dying. The image and likeness of GOD mocked. GOD did not spare HIS SON for the love of MAN, now corrupted. GOD’s only SON became death for us so we can have Life. To have Life, we need to eat the FRUIT – the person JESUS CHRIST who was hanged on that tree to be THE offer from GOD to HIS much loved masterpiece.
