Acceleration for Restoration: The New Creation Spirit Man, Part One · Grace and Glory Adorned

• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Grace and Glory Adorned.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: I am Bethany Williams.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: This is where you are invited into the more and depths of Christ, where grace empowers and forms you and his glory is revealed through you.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: You are not reaching for something distant.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: You are living from a reality already yours in Christ.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Recently, the Lord spoke to my spirit and said that the last three months of this year would be an acceleration for restoration.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: And what would normally take years would be done in three months because the Shekinah glory would make it easy and quick.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: Because when we hear the word restoration, sometimes our minds immediately go to circumstances or healing of the soul, the mind, and or the body.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: We think about relationships being restored, our souls' minds being restored, finances being restored, years being restored, opportunities being restored, things that were stolen being restored.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: And yes, I do believe the restoration he was speaking about touches all of these areas and even more.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: However, there is also something much deeper that I believe the Lord wants us to understand.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: Before any of these other areas of restoration that we are believing for comes to fulfillment.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Because restoration first has to begin from the correct identity.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Because if we are believing for restoration of a person that God has already that has already died with Christ, that God says has already died with Christ, then we are seeking to restore the wrong identity.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: And he ain't going to fulfill those false ident that false identity for us, amen.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: So I really want us to really hear that, like really, really, really hear that and catch it.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Nor is he trying to make our old man, our false identity and self-life better.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: Because our old man, our fallen nature, our fallen man, our false identity, and our self-life is vanity.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: Vanity means empty, it means void, it means a bottomless pit of nothing.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: So he is our good, good father, and everything he does is from love.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Love is a fulfillment of all things, it fills all in all, right?
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: So therefore, he fills all in all because he doesn't just love, he is love, and so why would he be interested in restoring our old man or restoring our fallen man or our false identity or our make our self-life better?
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: He's not trying to do that, he's never going to try to make our natural man just a better version and a more Christ-like version, right?
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: Because that is not love, and God is love, he doesn't just love, he is love.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: So in him being love, when we are born again, he creates us as a new man, a new creation in Christ.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: Because he loves us and he gave himself for us to make us a new creation, a new man, and that is what he wants to bring restoration to.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: And so Ephesians 4:24 says, and that you put on the new man, which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness, created according to God, not according to man, right?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: Not according to the carnality and the flesh of the corruptible seed of man, not according to the fallen world, but according to the incorruptible seed of God's righteousness and holiness.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: A person can intellectually understand that they have been crucified with Christ, raised with him, made righteous in him, and given his spirit, yet still live according to the patterns of the old man, because they have not learned to reckon those truths as the reality of their new life.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: And because we do this, right, and we don't reckon ourselves according to the new man, that means that we do not put the new man on, which Ephesians 4 24 says to do.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: It says to put on the new man.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: This is a completely new man, right?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: That we literally put on, and that is who we are and what we are and what we have in Christ, right?
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's created according to God and not according to man.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: The scripture, that scripture, that promise and that command is so powerful.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Because our new man wasn't created according to our past, our history, our experiences, our self-identity, our strengths, our weaknesses, our natural man being the carnality of the soul and body, or what we have learned to become, right?
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: So much of what we think is who we are is what we've actually learned to become.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: And that becoming was not actually the formation of the potter's hands, it was in the hands of man, or in the hands of the fallen nature, right?
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Or the hands of a fallen world, the experiences, the trauma, everything that we've uh accumulated, right, in this fallen world has what's actually formed us, and we learn to become inside a false formation, right?
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: So the new man wasn't created according to our trauma, it wasn't created according to our natural bloodline, it or the dysfunctional patterns and strongholds of lies and falsehood that runs in our natural family history, and what I call the Adam Church, which is the built, which is the like the church or the church, the Adam Church is built on the carnality in the flesh of man, and the matrix, which is the systems and patterns of religion, and is the kingdom of the fallen world mixing in with the church of Jesus Christ, which is essentially the priesthood of the Antichrist.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: The Antichrist is not a person per se, it is a spirit, just as it says in 1 John 4 3.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: It is the systems and patterns of the Antichrist, which is opposition to or against or in place of Christ, is what Antichrist is.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Christ means anointed one, messiah, right?
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: The promised Messiah, the promised anointed one.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: That is what Christ means.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: Then anti means in opposition to, against, or in place of the Christ, which is the anointed one, the messiah, right?
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: This is why it is a false and a counterfeit priesthood, because Jesus the Christ is our high priest and we are his royal priesthood.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: This is a part of our identity as sons of God, seated in heavenly places.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: So the new man wasn't created according to what has happened to us, wasn't created according to our failures, our sins, or our mistakes or shortcomings.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: The new man wasn't even created according to the image and identity we have formed ourselves through and in over the years of our natural experiences in a fallen world and the memories we carry.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: The new man was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness, which is his kingdom and his righteousness.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: That means that if we are going to understand restoration, we first have to understand who is being restored and from what blueprint, from what pattern, from what form, from what throne, from what priesthood, what kingdom, and what reality restoration is flowing from, right?
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: The potter's hands, not the hands of a fallen world, not the hands of a fallen man, not the hands of a fallen kingdom or the fallen spirit world, right?
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: So because you cannot experience the fullness of new creation restoration while continually identifying yourself according to the old creation of the corruptible seed and nature of the fallen man and the fallen world.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: You just can't.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: So we can't continually be more aware of and putting more faith in and trusting and having confidence in and living, moving, and having our being as just a soul and mind, right?
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: Soul and mind are the same thing, which is the carnal man, right?
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: Being driven by and being influenced by and having more awareness and putting more faith and trust and confidence in our soul and mind makes us a carnal man, and also just in our natural man of the flesh, right?
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: So we have this natural man and it is of the flesh.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: And so, just like when we put more awareness, more faith, more trust and confidence in our soul and mind, it makes us carnal, it also makes us a natural man of the flesh.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: 2 Corinthians 5 17 says, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new, which means the new there means never seen or heard of before, and also regenerated, meaning you have been re-gened through God's own DNA, which is his seed or sperma, as seed in the Greek means sperma, which is offspring or descendants or origin of what is produced, right?
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: The origin of what is produced.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: So therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: Creation there means creature or form.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: So we are a new form.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: We are a new creature that has never been seen or heard of before, right?
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: Before Christ.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: Before Christ came into flesh in Jesus, and Jesus went to the cross and finished the work and made the way, right?
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: Made the way back to, or even made the way back to the Father, but also made a way into this new creation man, this new creation form, right?
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: So old things, this is the rest of 2 Corinthians 5 17.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: It says, old things have passed away.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: Behold, all things have become new.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's amazing.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: The old things is when you were led, governed, and influenced by your soul mind, right?
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: Your soul and mind being the same thing, which is your carnal man, and also by your natural flesh man, because your spirit was dormant until you were born from above, which is born again by the supernatural gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ that made the way, right?
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: Made the way into this new creation, and now the indwelling Christ is your life.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: It is your life, right?
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: The indwelling Christ is your identity.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: In this verse, we are commanded to behold, which is to see, to look on, to perceive, to be aware of, to consider, to know, to understand, and to be sure of.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Because there is something that has already happened that we are being invited to see, to receive, and engage with so we can embody the truth that all things have become new.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: When it says all things, it does mean all things.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: We are not becoming a new creation in Christ, by Christ dwelling in you.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: We are a new creation, it is finished, just as Jesus said, it is finished.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_00: It is just that our souls and minds, right?
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: Our souls and minds and bodies are catching up to the truth of the glorification that it already has in the finished work.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: So this is why we are to behold, right?
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: Behold, because we need to see into and to be aware of and to consider and to know and understanding so that we can actually engage with and possess what this new creation actually is, so that we can actually have fellowship with it, so that we can actually have union with it, so that we can actually abide in it and live, move, and have our being in, through, by, and within it.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: Within within this new creation, which is a spirit man, right?
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Not a flesh man, not a soul-mind man, a spirit man.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: I have encountered so many believers living in hope deferred.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: I once lived in this bondage of hope deferred, never fully realized it and how much my heart was afflicted, grieved, and wounded because of it until it was revealed to me that I literally had a broken heart.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like I I literally was told by a medical professional that I had a literal broken heart.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so that was kind of a wild, intense experience.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: I was living in death.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: This is what I realized during this time, that I was living in death while thinking I was living.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: I was slowly dying, literally, and didn't even realize it.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: And it was by the grace and mercy of God alone that awakened me to the truth of the condition of my broken heart.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because he binds up the brokenhearted, amen.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: That is what Jesus came to do when he said that the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he's anointed me, right?
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: To bind up the brokenhearted.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: This is what Jesus still does today, and he will do it forevermore as he advances his kingdom, amen.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: I have since been through a tremendous and intense amount of crushing or breaking of the outer man that I call it in the secret place with the Lord because I submitted to the process of the restoration of my heart.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: I knew that I was, I basically came to the end of myself during this, right?
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I knew that I needed restoration, and there was only one way that I could fully receive restoration, which was to fully surrender, fully submit, and allow myself to be crushed, allow myself to be broken, my outer man to be broken in the in the hands of the Lord, right?
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: In the secret place, literally, quite literally allowing myself to fall on the stumbling stone, which is the chief cornerstone, which is Jesus the Christ, right?
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: Fall on him.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: What does that mean?
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: Meaning, allow myself to be broken by his grace and his truth, amen.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: And so in this restoration, everything that was blocked and hindered the flow of the promise of new life the Lord had already gave me, right, was being dealt with and broken in this crushing, in this breaking of the outer man.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: So it's it's quite interesting, right?
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: Because I had a broken heart, and in the full surrendering and the full submitting to the process of restoration, I allowed myself to actually be broken and crushed by the grace and the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ, right?
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_00: And so that's just such a such a wild thing, I think, to our own understanding, because we don't we can't really intellectually and reason and understand in our own understanding how that could even make any sense, but it is the truth, and I am a living testimony, a living witness that being broken by him is literally the best, most intense, most glorious experience that and process you can ever go through.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because you know, we've been broken by everything but him, right?
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: We've been broken by anybody but him.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: We're already broken, so why not let him break us to then reform us, right?
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: For his glory, for his perfect will, amen.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: And so this process it awakened me to many things.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: I did not know many things, I didn't know these many things, and I never considered these many things that I was awakened to, what was revealed to me.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and I, you know, I never considered them, I never thought about them as being significant to what is actual life and life more abundantly that Jesus said he came to give to us in John 10 10.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: But I have come to understand very deeply what is and is not a part of what gives life.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_00: I I know without a shadow of a doubt what is and is not a part of what gives life because of what transpired in this experiential knowledge I I was that I gained and I that was revealed to me in this process of fully surrendering, fully submitting, coming to the end of myself, and all those things.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: I now know without a shadow of a doubt, it's so deep inside me.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's deeper than than my mind, it's it's deeper than my physical, you know, body.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: My physical man, my own understanding, my own intellect, my own logic, my own reasoning, right?
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's deeper than that.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_00: It goes so so deep that I know what is and is not a part of what gives life.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: Not just what is life, but what gives life.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm so grateful for the process of restoration and even the crushing and the breaking of the outer man in the secret place.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: Because I have been touched by the love and the life of God in the deepest part of my being that words fail to fully express.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: And now I burn, I burn for everyone to experience what he has bestowed upon me.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: And this is why I'm just so passionate about what he has been leading me and what he's assigned me in, and how to function and what to do, and this assignment in this podcast, because this is things that have been burning in me for so long.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_00: And the heart that I have for people, the heart I have for the broken, the heart I have for the the fallen, the fallen world, and and and nations, and just all those things.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just I'm so I just want to take a moment and I just want to praise the Lord and just hallelujah to him, glory to him, praise to him.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: He gets all the honor, all the glory, all the praise.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm so filled with so much hope.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_00: So much hope, you guys.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: There's so much hope for the future.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_00: This is not a hope that's gonna disappoint, amen.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: I just I'm feeling led by the spirit right now.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: This is a hope that will not disappoint.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: We can put our full expectation in it, we can put our full excitement in this because it will not disappoint us, amen.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm so honored and I'm so uh uh uh grateful and I'm so excited to be used as a vessel in his great and mighty work that he's doing on the earth today, amen.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: So why do so many uh Christians have hope deferred?
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, even not even just Christians or believers, I I even know unbelievers, right, that just live in such a hope deferred.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, we as believers, we have a living hope, so we should not be in hope deferred.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: But I believe this is because at large the body of Christ has not received a deeper revelation of the person, priesthood, and pattern of Christ and his finished work, which is the meat of the word, it's the word of righteousness, the word of grace, and we need to receive this deeper revelation, the meat of the word, so we can have a deeper understanding of pursuing and seeking out the desires of the Father's heart for us in the treasure, the riches of the glory within us, called Christ in us, the hope of glory, as it says in Colossians 1:27.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: Proverbs 13:12 says, Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: We have a living hope, as I said, living inside us.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_00: This living hope is Christ, who is our identity, and it is the desire of the Father's heart to reveal this desire to us, so it can become a tree of life within us, and it can become a tree of life for those around us to come and taste and see that the Lord is good, amen.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: We will continue to live in hope deferred if we do not awaken to the truth that it is truly finished, it is truly finished.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: You have to hear that right now.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: I just I just release that sound right now into your ears because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, and as Jesus own came out of Jesus' own mouth, he said it is finished.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: So I released the I released the words of the word made flesh where he said it is finished.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_00: And we are invited to seek out what this treasure, which is the riches of the glory of the finished work, that resides already within us, because what we are waiting for, or what we've been taught that we are waiting for, is actually just waiting for us to discover it, to awaken to it and come into an agreement with the reality of the truth, that it is finished.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_00: In Hebrews 6 19, it says, This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the presence behind the veil.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_00: This is so amazing.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: Christ in us, the hope of glory, anchors our soul to this living hope that enters the living presence of the living God behind the veil.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_00: This Christ in us, the hope of glory goes into God's world, right?
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_00: The most high's world, which is heaven, because the key this is the kingdom of heaven, right?
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: Behind the veil of our flesh, natural man.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_00: Because Jesus the Christ, the forerunner and pioneer of our faith, our high priest, tore the veil.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: You need to hear that.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_00: He tore the veil in his own body, his own flesh.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_00: And we have direct access to all of the kingdom of heaven, not later, in the here and now.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_00: You need to hear this now, not later, right?
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_00: We have the kingdom of heaven.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: Now, not later.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I hope you all can catch this revelation and that it gives or that it goes into your spirit, man, your belly, and awakens you beyond your own understanding, beyond your own natural man, beyond your own mind and intellect and reasoning and logic, so you can begin to run with this revelation into the deeper mysteries and secrets of the riches of his glory, in the substance of the living hope, who is the indwelling Christ.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_00: It is all in the flow.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: I remember that when the Lord told me, oh show, I think it was right around Easter, he told me, it's all in the flow, daughter.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: And that just took me on a whole journey with him, a whole, a whole deep, deep revelation that I'm so grateful for.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's my prayer that you all experience the dams of that the dams breaking in the crushing process of restoration.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because there is there is wells of living water, right?
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: There's a well of living water, there is dams.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_00: And when I mean by dams, I'm just talking about the the living water that comes from from your spirit, right?
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_00: Just starts gushing out, right, and breaking open and in the crushing process of restoration, because restoration is truly a crushing process, it is a breaking of the outer man process and be carried from one dimension of glory to another dimension of glory with no more hindrances, no more hindrances, and no more more, no more blockages.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_00: This is why I carry such a burning burden of the Lord that I can't keep within me.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: It must be released and poured out because I believe with all my heart there has to be an awakening in the body of Christ concerning the reality of our new creation man, of our of new creation realities.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_00: It all starts from the spirit and flows through the interface, the mediator, right, between the spirit and the natural, called the soul, the mind, and into the body, the flesh, of the flesh, right?
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_00: So this is how heaven comes to earth, when there is no hindrances or blockages in our soul, our mind, and our body to block the flow of the fullness of the glory of God into all dimensions and realms of creation.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_00: The Lord has also told me that there is a generation hungry, they're hungry, they're seeking, and they're ready for what he wants to pour out, reveal, and do through my submission to him as a vessel for his glory.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_00: If you are here and listening, my hope is that you are a part of this generation that he was speaking about.
• 31:45
