I will explain one more thing before we look a= t the new material. The apostle Paul, when explaining how a spiritual truth becom= es a reality, frequently states the accomplished fact first, and then works backwards. For example, Paul would say, "The promise is that we shall = be as God, and we shall receive the imparted anointing, and we shall receive t= he imputed anointing, and we shall receive faith." Hallelujah.

Paul reversed the order in which we receive the promises. To get to be as God, you start with faith, then you receive the imputed anointing, after that, the imparted anointing, and then you become = as God.

This Aplant,

We need to be spiritual to understand a teachi= ng like this, which is very hard to comprehend if God does not give you the revelation. Anyone who is struggling to understand should ask God for wisdom. We will pray for you, If you like, but I exhort you to resist getting upset if you do not understand= the subject matter

The Hebrew word translated Aplant,

Jesus knew that the woman who touched him had recognized the spiritual life= of God shining forth from him, but His disciples said, "What do you mean somebody touched you, everybody is touching you." Nevertheless, Jesus said, Awho touched me?Afor,@ Remember, all of this is happening in the ear= th that had not yet been rained upon, and where the man destined to til the gr= ound had not yet appeared. God is forming His creation in the prepared place that has not yet Abrought forth.

You have truly enslaved the ground, you have brought it into servitude, and it = is serving you. It is bringing forth fruit. Even though you are laboring, and farming is very hard work, you have appropriated the ground, and you are us= ing it for your own benefit You have brought it into servitude. Now, that was a natural example. I am suggesting to you that the Lord God is intending to b= ring the ground into servitude to Himself. Hallelujah, the creation is a spiritu= al plant.

I have a reference for you, Ezekiel 29:18, "Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, caused his army to serve a great ser= vice against Tyrus...." The Hebrew word translated Aserve,

The natural man does not understand the greatn= ess of the spiritual realm of God. He does not understand, because of the ignorance and darkness of his mind, that even a position of servitude to Christ is preferable to independence in the realm of the flesh. He lacks the knowledg= e to understand that the spiritual realm of God is so great, that the flesh realm cannot even be compared to it. So, he will fight to the death rather than submit to Christ. The natural man shall, indeed, die. He shall die to his Carnal Mind, but live by the Spirit of Life which is in Christ Jesus. Glory= to God. Hallelujah. The Lord God has declared that the earth shall serve the spirit man. Glory to God.

Alternate Translation, Verse 5.AThis is the story of the declared one of God, = the Christ and His offspring, the sons of God, the many-membered shining, spiri= tual plant that dies and then reappears on a regular schedule, which was declared before they ever sprang forth, to appear in the enclosed place, and be seen= in the earth. But the Lord God had not yet caused it to rain upon the earthen creation, and neither was there a man spiritually mature enough to bring the life‑filled earth into servitude."

The word here is ground. There was not a man t= o til the ground. We are talking about earth that had received the life of the So= n, which ultimately became us. This is the Life of the Living Soul. When God s= ays that there was not a man to til the ground, He means that the spirit man was not yet controlling the natural man.

The Scripture teaches us that God promises to pour out of His Spirit upon us, a= nd that He is both the former and the latter rain, but the Scripture also calls the Lord a consuming fire. Our God is an all consuming fire which burns up everything that is unrighteous within us.

If we have not yet received Christ when God po= urs Himself out upon us, we will burn up. There will be nothing left of us. It = is the mercy of God that He has not yet poured out His fiery nature, because t= hat would destroy us, His creation. The process of creation is happening at the place which the Lord God had not yet caused it to rain upon the earth, the = hard part of the creation, and there was not a man spiritually mature enough to bring this life-filled earth into servitude. Hallelujah.<= /p>

We will skip to the second half of Verse seven, and work backwards, in accordance wi= th our previously-stated understanding that sometimes the Scripture is written= in reverse. We will start with the phrase, "and the man became a Living Soul." God is saying, "and this is how the earth became filled wi= th the light [or the life] called the soul life."

Verse 5 says that God could not pour out the r= ain because there was no man to bring the life‑filled earth into servitud= e. Then God says at the end of Verse 7, "and this is how the earth became filled with the life of God." This is how it happened, this is the his= tory working backwards. God breathed the breath of life into the man=3Ds nostrils.

We found out Sunday that there was an enclosed area, that God imparted His lif= e to the substance in that enclosed area, and the man received the soul life of lives. We have an animal life, a soul life, and a spiritual life. The accur= ate translation of the word "Living Soul" is "the level of life = on the soul realm." The soul life was created when God breathed into the nostrils of the earth man.

We were told on Sunday that the Hebrew word translated "breath" means "to project forth." The camp = that of John says that @ The Father and the Son were one in the realm = of the Spirit. I Suggest to you that the Lord God separated Himself from the Son a= nd sent the Son into the earth with the force and power of a flaming comet.

God did not just plant His Son gently in the e= arth. He projected him from the realm of the Spirit, The verb implies that God sh= ot His Son into the earth with great power, as if he had used a spiritual blow gun.

Still going backwards, "and the Lord God = formed man, the dust of the ground."

I am going to tell you again how the life of G= od wound up in the earth. God forcefully shot His Son, who is the breath of Li= fe, into the dust of the ground. There is no Life outside of Christ Jesus.

AGround=3Ds light and life into the powdered grey rubbis= h of the field, converted the dust into fertile soil, which cleaved to the Son a= nd formed the man."

Everything in the natural is a mirror image of= the spiritual realm, right? If something is without in the natural, it is also within in the Spirit. If we want to give water form, we pour it into a cup.= The water is formed when we pour it into a mold.

In the at of the Spirit, this reality is rever= sed. Did anyone see the picture, The Invisible Man? In that movie there was a man that nobody could see, so what did he do when he wanted to be seen? He put a coat on and wrapped bandages around his head. The clothes and the bandages cleaved unto the invisible man, and you could see his form. He became visib= le.

The Son of God was separated from the spiritua= l realm of God when the Father forcefully, with great pressure that can be likened = to spiritual, fiery nuclear energy, propelled Him into the rubbish of the eart= h. The impact imparted life to the earth and converted it into spiritual groun= d, which cleaved to the form of the Son and covered him. This is how God gave = form to the man.

The word "ground" comes from the word "Adam." It is the substance of which Adam was made. If the Lord w= ere to melt us, we would be unfor= med dust, waiting to be formed again. Adam was already formed from the dust when the Son of God was propelled into the earth with great pressure, like a com= et entering the EarthAHe died so that we could live." The spiri= tual Son of God, who dwelt with His Father in the high places of the heavenlies, left His spiritually rich existence to be made into a natural man, because that was the only way to g= ive life and form to the spiritual earth.

The spiritual substance of the Son who dwelt o= n high was made into both the male and the female elements of the creation called = the First Adam. After that, the same spiritual Son became the last Adam, who was born as Jesus of Nazareth, the natural man who appeared at the end of the a= ge to be humbled, humiliated and crucified. Then Jesus of Nazareth was glorifi= ed and became the Father, the Ho= ly Ghost and the Son of the New Testament Church.

The spiritual Son of God gave up His heavenly = riches to be made into the creation of God. He is the great Holy Spirit that poured Himself out upon all of us, and He is the Christ that is coming forth from = the fertile parts of the earth within all of us. God wanted to appear in a visi= ble world, so His Son became all of the many aspects of the multi-faceted creat= ion, which we are. He is everything.

Alternate Translation, Verse 7, "And this= is how the earth became filled with the light or the life called the soul life. God cast His Son forcefully into the member [or sac] which breathed, [also called the enclosed place or the field], and the Son of God caused great pressure and heat to be inflicted upon the powered grey rubbish of the field into which the light of His Life was infused , and the rubbish was converted into fertile soil."

Talk about fertilizer! The Son of God Himself = was the fertilizer of the spiritual earth. "And the Lord God caused the so= il to cleave to His Son, thus forming the man."

In the beginning, the Son of God was joined to= the creeping, crawling things teeming in the earth, and the two became one creation, the First Adam. At the end of the age, Jesus of Nazareth, the last Adam, was crucified so that humanity, the spiritual earth, might receive the glorified life of the Son.

The earthen creation, the First Adam, exists t= oday because the spiritual Son of God gave His life to the earth.

The spiritual creation, the Last Adam, is emer= ging today, because Jesus, the Christ, gave His spiritual life to the earthen creation, that we might receive a consciousness of God. I am not discounting what Jesus did on the cross, but the Scripture does tell us that Jesus was crucified so that men would believe. Also, Jesus=3D submission to the cross was a symbol that He had completed the processing of His soul life, and had overcome it. Indeed, the Christ within the man, Jesu= s, brought the soul man into servitude by the power of the Father who was with= in him.

When Jesus

The Hebrew word translated "face" me= ans "that part of the creation that was turned towards, or destined to app= ear in the realm of appearance," so there has to be a part of the creation that was not destined to appear in the realm of appearance, a part that would be hidden and unseen, the Satanic realm. Hallelujah. <= /o:p>

In these end times, unfortunately, we see the Satanic realm appearing in the face of the earth, but God is going to swall= ow him up.

"The Lord God propelled His Spirit into t= he rubbish of the earth, and it became fertilized. The rubbish had become grou= nd, and the Spirit caused the man, the ground, to cleave unto the Spirit of God, and as the Spirit formed the man, a mist rose up." <= /p>

The Life of God was now buried deep in the ear= th. He is the mist that came forth, arose, and&nb= sp; irrigated the part of the ground that was facing towards the realm of appearance. The mist did not irrigate the Satanic realm, and as we study the development of the soul realm (Verses 9-14), you will see that the part of = the soul that we call Satan, the unconscious part of the Carnal Mind, the darkn= ess, the pure evil and moral reprobation, never received the Life of God. He remained rubbish, he remained white and grey and uncolored. We are going to= see that very shortly.

I would like to read this Alternate Translatio= n for you again. I will read the whole thing.

"And this is how the earth became filled = with light, or the life called the soul life: God cast His Son with great power = into the member, or sac, which breathed, also called the enclosed place or the field, and the Son of God caused great pressure upon the powered grey rubbi= sh in the field, that was infused with the light of His life, and the rubbish = was converted into fertile soil." Hallelujah. "And the Lord God caused the soil to rise up and cleave unto His Son, thus, giving form to the man."

The man did not form God, God formed the man. = This china cup forms the water within it, but the vessel called man did not form God. The Son of God formed the man. Hallelujah, glory to God.

"And after that, the life of the Son rose= up from the hard part of the creation and irrigated the whole part of the soil that was turned towards the realm of appearance. The part of the earth that= was not turned towards the realm of appearance, the hidden part, was not watere= d, and remained without Life.&qu= ot; Hallelujah.

We are still going backwards. Verse 4, "A= t the place which the Lord God..." Now, this is all happening, the ground is being irrigated in preparation for something to grow in"The place which the Lord God had not yet caused it to rain upon the earth, the hard part of= the creation, and there was not a man spiritually mature enough to bring the Li= fe‑filled earth into servitude." Hallelujah, glory to God.

Verse 8, King James, "And the Lord God pl= anted a Garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man that He had formed.&quo= t;

Alternate Translation, "And the Lord God = stood upright, a place in the eternal realm of total provision, where the spiritu= al life of His Son, who was wrapped in the earth, could grow. And He put the man that He made from t= he life of His Son and the darkness of the earth there, and imparted His Spirit to that place.= And this is how the Son that the Lord breathed into the earth lost all spiritual authority and died. He become a natural man so that we might receive His Li= fe,@ Hallelujah.

"And the more God stood upright..." = You see, when Christ was mixed with the earth, He became one with the earth, He became a natural man, He lost all spiritual authority. If God did not impute His anointing to the man, He would have been overcome by the Satanic realm which did not receive the Life of God. So God imputed His anointing to the man."And the Lord God stood Him upright." God imputed His own lif= e to the man, and put Him in the r= ealm of the eternal, where the man

Can anyone to explain the Scripture that says,= the Lamb was slain from the foundations of the earth?

Yes, Jesus=3D physical body died. Hallelujah, glory to God.= Help us Father. Glory to God.

Verse 9, King James. "And out of the grou= nd made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, the Tree of Life also in the midst of the Garden, and the Tree of= the Knowledge of Good and Evil."

The ground, that is, the earth infused with th= e Life of God -- God made trees to grow out of it. Hallelujah. <= /p>

We know that, in the Scripture, trees are a ty= pe of life. Jesus referred to Himself as a green= tree. There are green trees and dead trees, but the Scripture says t= hat God made the trees to grow that are @ That Hebrew word translated "sight,"= ; in this context, means "spiritual sight."

I suggest to you that God made trees to grow o= ut of the Garden, that would develop the spiritual Life of God in the Living Soul (the soul life of man), when he consumed, or partook of it.

Jesus offended many when He said, "eat my= flesh and drink my blood," and many departed from him. They did not understa= nd that Jesus was talking about spiritual flesh and blood. Eternal life is in = the spiritual flesh and blood of the glorified Jesus Christ. We feed on Jesus=3D spiritual Life, and Christ consumes our sin n= ature. Victory (the fruit of JesusA(See, Message # , Satan Swallowed Up= .@)

We are consuming each other, we are becoming o= ne, we are partaking of His spiritual Life, and He is consuming our soul life. He became sin that we might be made the righteousness of God. This is the substitutionary work of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are eating of His righteousness, and He is devouring the sin in us. We do not have the power = to devour our own sin. He has to do it for us. Glory to God.

I suggest to you that the trees that grew out = of the Garden were manifestations of the Spirit of God which would enable the soul realm to develop the Mind of God.

Eat of all of the trees which are of My Spirit= , God said, and you will acquire my image, as well as my likeness, which you alre= ady have. You will be a reflection (image) of My righteous Life and nature, as = well a living form (likeness) made from the substance of My Life. You will be Me= an expression me on the visible plane of existence, you will have My nature. But if you eat the fruit of the Tr= ee of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, God said, you will die to the righteous immortality that I have provided for you.

The trees that were pleasant to the sight were= not apple or pear trees. They were manifestations of the Spirit of God which, w= hen eaten, would bring the Life of Christ into the soul realm. The mind is a fertile place where spiritual things grow. Thoughts and ideas grow and come forth from the mind.

The mind that God created would reproduce the mind of God wh= en it ate the fruit of the Spirit of God, it. We are talking about spiritual copulation. Hallelujah.

The trees were not only pleasant to the sight,= they were also good for spiritual food, which would develop spiritual sight, and produce the life of Christ.

The Tree of Life, the imparted anointing of Go= d, was in the midst of the Garden, and also the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Christ Himself was buried, and had become one with the earth, so that= the earth could be made into a man, the creation of God.

Alternate Translation, Verse 9, "And out = of the irrigated soil, made the Lord to spring forth every tree that is capable of bringing forth, or developing spiritual sight, and good for spiritual food.= The Spirit of God, by His imputed anointing, also in the midst of the Garden, a= nd the Carnal Mind of the soul, or the natural man, who was good and evil.

The man had a knowledge of, and the spiritual authority to do good, because Christ was the source of his life and consciousness. But there was also an opposing force within the man, the evil consciousness of the earth. The man would be good (Christ consciousness) and evil (earth consciousness), until the righteousness of the Father (the impa= rted anointing) was added to him. God gave the good in Adam dominion over the ev= il, until such time as Adam would be engraved with God=3Ds righteous nature.

What is the problem with man? Most of us know = what is right, unless we are really demented, but we cannot do right all of the time. We know what is right, but we do not have the power to do right. There was a knowledge of good in the earth from the Son of God who was lowered in= to it, and there was also a knowledge of evil from the creeping crawling thing= s in the earth, Hallelujah.

The Hebrew word translated Aevil

The fruit of the trees in the Garden represent= the fruit of the Spirit. We mentioned that. Everything necessary to reproduce t= he life of God was present in the Garden, ready to fertilize the mind of mind = of the soul man when he ate of it.

Song of Solomon 4:12, "A Garden inclosed = is my sister, my spouse, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire with spikenard. Spi= kenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense and myrrh= and aloes, with all the chief spices. A fountain of Gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon."

This is a description of the mind, or the livi= ng soul, that God created, and calls the enclosed Garden. Enclosed means to surround, and a = garden is a plot of ground where Life grows. The mind of man is a garden where God intends for His Life to grow. God calls the garden His sister, because she = is related to Him through His own breath, who the Life of the Garden. God calls the garden His spouse, because He intends to marry her. <= /p>

Mysteries, mysteries, "she is a spring sh= ut up and a fountain sealed." Hallelujah. The Hebrew word translated "Garden" means "to hedge about or protect," and the Heb= rew word translated "spring," which means "to be rolled," refers to deep emotion, waves of water, or the whirlwind.

God called the Garden, which is the mind of the living soul, three things: A Garden, a spring, and a fountain. The Garden i= s a closed, protected place, the spring is raging emotions, and the fountain re= fers to the greatest pleasure and joy. I suggest to you that the raging emotion = is Satan, the unconscious part of the Carnal Mind, and the greatest pleasure a= nd joy is the spirit (breath of God

God can eat of every tree in the Garden, inclu= ding the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, because He is swallowing up Sat= an, the unconscious part of the Carnal Mind, which is the Tree of the Knowledge= of Good and Evil. But, God told the man, if you eat of the Tree = of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you will die to the immortal life that I have provided for you.

The book of Proverbs warns us, saying, "Y= oung men stay away from the harlot." Jesus, in the days of His flesh, was n= ot afraid of mortal man, the spiritual harlot, because Jesus could not be poll= uted by her. The Life of God cannot be polluted. When man tries to do what God d= oes, it results in destruction, but everything that God does, eventually works o= ut for the good.

Man is told not to do evil, but God does evil perfectly. Man is told not to lie, but God sent a lying spirit into the mou= th of His prophet. How can this be? Everything that God does, turns out good, because His motives are consistently righteous. God kills and then makes al= ive, but when man kills only destr= uction follows.

God did not make a mistake when He put the Tre= e of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden. He put it there for a purpose, and said to the man, I can eat of this Tree, but you cannot eat of it until after the marriage. If you do eat of it before we are married, destruction = will come upon you.

We tell our children not to cross the street, = saying AI can do it, but you cannot." This princi= ple of the Aright of the elder@= is found all through our society. Copulation is legal in marriage, but illegal outside of marriage. It is very simple. We prosper when we follow the rules. There is a spirit of rebellion across the whole country today. It is obnoxi= ous, and it is everywhere. It is in the kids, it is in the people, it is in the employers, and in the workers. It is everywhere.

There are things that man can do under certain circumstances, and not under other circumstances, and there are things that man can never do under any circumstances. We cannot partake of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and E= vil without being polluted. God can do it, we cannot. We have to learn our plac= e. Man does not know his place. Glory to God.

Do you remember the teaching on Athe washing with the water of the Word,= @ as opposed to deliverance ministry? We come t= o the Lord with our Adamic, Carnal Mind generating all of our thoughts. These car= nal thoughts need to be separated from the thoughts of Christ so that they can = be cast out.

We think it is all right to take drugs, to ste= al, to smoke and to fornicate, because the Carnal Mind is confused. God gives us t= he ability to separate the righteous thoughts of Christ from the good and evil thoughts of our Carnal Min= d, and when we learn how to discern good from evil, the evil thoughts are separated out from the righteous thoughts of Christ. This is the separation= of the soul from the spirit and the joints from the marrow. The soul life must= be separated from the spiritual life, so that God can process each one in acco= rdance with His will. There is one process for the soul life and another process f= or the life of the spirit. We cannot mature into Christ so long as our two lives are stuck together. Glor= y to God.

A similar process took place to form the mind = of man. The life of the Son was forcefully projected into the earth to form a tri-part being: The man (soul), the Life of Christ (breath of God), and the dark, lawless, morally corrupt part (earth), which gave form to the man, we= re all stuck together in one lump. But, the Lord God had determined that the m= ind of man would be in three parts so that the image of Christ could appear in = the human spirit. Wherefore, the next step was to separate that big ball of spiritual clay into three parts and fertilize the human spirit. =

How could God fertilize the human spirit when = she was clumped together with the man who was to be the servant, and the dark p= art of the earth? Praise the Lord.

Verse 10, "And a river went out of Eden to water the Garden, and from thence it was parted, and came into four heads." It is common knowledge that a river in the Scripture refers to= the Life of God. We know that a river appears in the New Jerusalem at the end of the book of Revelation..

That river is the imparted anointing that perfects Adam and flows out o
