1. Man is an apparent contradiction, the "BREATH OF GOD" wrapped in brittle clay, Genesis 2:7, a mystery to say the least, "Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. ... But now we see not yet all things put under him" [Hebrews 2:7-8] God was not unmindful of weaknesses of FLESH and foreknowing SIN, nonetheless gave us FREE WILL that the excellency of His COUNSEL alone might prevail, "In whom also we have OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" [Ephesians 1:11] As soon as Adam and Eve fell into SIN, God put His COUNSEL into motion, BLOOD of a lamb was shed and "COATS OF SKINS" made for them, Genesis 3:21; a shadow of predetermined REDEMPTION through the BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST, "But with the precious BLOOD OF CHRIST, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you" [ Peter 1:19-20]
2. Whereas blood of lambs as "covering" for SIN did not prevent SIN, God was faithful to His own; upholding their feet with His mercies, "He will KEEP THE FEET OF HIS SAINTS, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail" [1 Samuel 2:9] The pattern was akin to a baby learning to walk, faltering ever so often and rising; there were "REMNANTS" in every age who sought Him and were REVIVED, "Then shall ye CALL UPON ME, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall SEEK ME, and FIND ME, when ye shall search for me with all your heart" [Jeremiah 29:12-13] As early as the second generation from Adam, things were as bad as they could be, the world overtaken by ungodliness, "And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then BEGAN MEN TO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD" [Genesis 4:26] The recurring adversary was SIN,, that is, Satan working in the FLESH to subvert in rebellion against the Spirit of God, "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD" [Galatians 5:17] We were helpless and lost but God who made us a "LITTLE LOWER THAN ANGELS" kept His agenda to perfect His purpose in man.close to His chest.
3. Adam was put to deep sleep while God fashioned Eve from his rib, hosts of heaven were blindsided by His WISDOM in "allowing" SIN. This He did that He might through MAN "bruise the head of Satan, Genesis 3:15. And the MAN was JESUS CHRIST, "To wit, that God was in Christ, ... For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" [2 Corinthians 5:19,21] This is the mystery hid from men and angels, through the ages, how God became like us in JESUS CHRIST and by His death on the Cross broke the stranglehold of SIN, "... the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" [1 Corinthians 2:7-8] By grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST, we are BORN AGAIN having God's righteousness of God, compatible with His Spirit , "... in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory" [2 Corinthians 1:22] We are no longer babes but co-labourers with God, "For we are LABOURERS TOGETHER WITH GOD: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building" [1 Corinthians 3:9]
4. We have God in us yet we are not the finished work, "... we have this TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us" [2 Corinthians 4:7] Yoke of SIN is broken but this "earthen vessel" by nature is subject to "leakages". Classic example, the Apostles and disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost in Acts 2:1-4 and suffering "leakages", required to be "filled" and REVIVED, "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, ..." [Acts 4:31] Every Church Age began with SAINTS being "filled" and requiring to be refilled by reason of "leakages". We are the Laodicean Church, pregnant with SONS of God and shall be delivered by LATTER RAIN, "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God" [Romans 8:19-20] PENTECOST came with "fire" to consume SIN, LATTER RAIN is ULTIMATE OUTPOURING of "living waters" that brings forth a bountiful harvest of SONS made ready for RAPTURE [Isaiah 32:15] I invite you to join us every Wednesday on Zoom to pray down the LATTER RAIN, as it is written: "Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain,to every one grass in the field" [Zechariah 10:1]
