  Speaker 1: I love the Lord. He has heard my cry and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: pitied every groan. Thank God that we have life, and
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: we now have life through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: heard this poor man cry and delivered him from all
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of his fears, Amen, even from the fear of death.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And now because God has heard, we have life, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we have it more abundantly. So we welcome you once
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: again to this another edition of End Time Revival Ministries

  Speaker 1: we again, as always, thank God for another opportunity a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: man to speak forth, Amen and proclaim the truth of God.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: In such a time is this when we a man
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: need life and understand and need to understand rather that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: life can only be through Him, because it all comes
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: from him, it all emanates from him.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And so Amen.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Today we are grateful to the Lord for the spirit
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of life, the breath of life that is in us,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and that we now have life more abundantly because of
• 1:24

  Speaker 1: For those of you who are following along with us
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: with this podcast. Amen, we are in the fifteenth chapter
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of the Book of First Corinthians, and today we're going
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to continue Amen, with the doctrinal treatise, if you will,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of the Apostle Paul, who answers to these skeptics, to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: these unbelievers who are in the church saying that there
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is no resurrection of the dead, how dare they be
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in the church, anyone claiming, Amen to be a believer
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in Jesus the Christ, and say that there is no
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: resurrection of the dead. And so we are a man
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: continuing to examine a man. The response of the Apostle
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Paul to this Amen, heretical thinking, heretical teaching a man
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: deadly doctrine.
• 2:31

• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Five thirty five.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Brother, but but but, but but Before we get into
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Paul's response, Amen, we need to understand that the apostle
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Amen again is taking up this Amen response Amen to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: those who were in the church, in the Corinthian Church
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: who were saying that there is no resurrection of the dead.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And before we begin, as always, let's take just a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: quick moment, Amen, to invoke the President of the Lord

  Speaker 1: and give him glory and honor in all things. Again, Father,
• 4:01

  Speaker 1: In Jesus name, we bring your thanks. Amen and amen.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: All right, God bless you again everyone.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: How the dead are raised up?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: How the dead are rais stuff? Now, as the apostle
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a man continues again in his doctrinal treaties a man
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: on the certainty of the dead being raised up a man,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: He takes on these questions two questions that we're going
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to see a man. How are the dead raised up?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Some would ask, And what kind of body? What kind
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of body will it be in? Before we get into
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a man. The apostle Paul's response to these questions that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he anticipates will be asked by some, We want to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a man.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: The power to raise the dead emanates from the same
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: power that created life, that spoke all things into existence.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And it is also that same power things and keeps
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a man all things, all things exist by him. This
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is what John wrote in the prologue of his Gospel.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: In the beginning was the word was with God. In
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: with God. All things were made by Him, And without him,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: or apart from him, was there nothing made.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So it is in Him that we live, move, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: have our very existence. And so by the same power
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a man that spoke, by the same power that a
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: man breathed life. Amen, we will be resurrected again, a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: man from the day, the maker of the living. A
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: man remakes if you will, he recreates, recreates if you will,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: or he restores if you will, the dead, a man
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: with the same breath of his power. Amen, the same
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: breath of his power. Wherein is the spirit of life.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: In him is life. Amen.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Life comes from God again, emanates from Him, and the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: faith to believe and to have the assurance a man
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of this life and to know this. It all rests
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in the hope of the resurrection of the dead. But
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it is rooted a man in believing that from the beginning,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: in the beginning Genesis one and one, the verse five
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: words of the Book of the Bible. In the beginning,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: God created, God created.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: This is where faith begins.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And so it is the same God who created a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: man all things by the word of his power. It
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: is the same God who spoke a man the world
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and all that is in the universe, all that is
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in creation into existence. It is the same God a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: man who breathed into Adam, the first man, the first
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: human being, the breath of life.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: It is the same.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: God who will calls the dead a man to be
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: raised again to eternal life.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: The same God, the same God.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So when we ask this question now again, Paul, he
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: certainly is.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Understanding of that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Amen. We just wanted to make that ann before we
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: get into his response, because he's going to go to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the natural, to nature amen, to address this. But understand
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: from the and he certainly is going to go to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the spiritual Amen, and to the fact that there is
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the man from the earth, that is of the earth,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the first man, Adam, and then the man that is
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: from heaven, the earthly and the heavenly, by which we
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: will all have life eternal.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: First Garanthians, chapter fifteen. If you have your Bible's first
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Corinthian chapter fifteen, I'm going to begin reading at verse
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: number thirty five, these first two verses, and then I'm
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: going to Paul's momentarily to just give a little bit
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of commentary here now verse number thirty five, if you
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: have your bibles. But someone will say, how are the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: dead raised up? And with what body do they come?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Paul responds. He begins his response by a man saying,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: foolish one. Again, this is perhaps it has to be.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I believe someone who is again questioning or doubting and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: perhaps even teaching in the Corinthian Church that there is
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: no resurrection of the dead. And so Paul refers to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: them as being foolish.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And he says, foolish.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: One, what you sow is not made alive on unless
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it dies. So now he first, now in his response,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: appeals to nature itself, and so he speaks that whenever
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a seed is planted in the ground, this is what
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: he's teaching. Whenever a seed is planted in the ground,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: it dies. And those of us who know anything about farming, seeds, planting, sowing, harvesting,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: when that seed is planted in the ground, that seed dies.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: That's the first thing that happens. It dies. After the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: seed decomposes. Hey man, this is the process. It will
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: never again exist in its original form as a seed.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: But life comes from within that seed that died, that
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: seed that was buried, that seed that decomposed in the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: earth miraculously. And all of this is by the decree
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of God, by the way who put life, who breathed life,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: who ordained life, and and gave the command of the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of the seed would be within the of fruit or
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the product of whatever, all whatever, and all that he
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: created by the way, the seed would be in it
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to perpetually recreate as it were, all over again and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: again and again and again. That is why we get
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the seeds a man to bury in the and the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: seeds seeds. I don't know how, and I can explain this.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I just know that life comes from God. Now you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: take a seed a man, a seed of grain, a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: seed of watermelon, a seed of any kind of fruit
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: or vegetable, a spice, and you take that seed, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: even the tiniest of seeds.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Somehow God has put life in that seed.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And when that seed is buried in the ground, it dies,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and when it dies, it decomposes. And when it decomposes,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: life miraculously springs forth from that seed. It comes back
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: after In other words, life comes back after the death,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: after the burial of that seed and that's what Paul
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: is explaining as he talks about a man. What happens
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a man when a man something goes into the ground.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So he furthermore explains, what you sow verse thirty seven,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: You do not sow that body that shall be but
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: mere grain, perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: gives it a body as he pleases, and to each
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: seed its own body. In other words, what is sown? Again,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: what is sown, what is buried into the ground, is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: not what will come forth. What comes forth from that
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: grain of corn or seed of corn. Brother, it's going
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to be a harvest of corn, and it's not going
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to be that same seed that went into the ground.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It died, Amen, but it gave life. It came back
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: not as a grain of corn or a grain of seed. Amen,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that went into the ground in the same way that
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it was buried.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: And again we see this in our world on a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: perpetual basis. A Again, it was from it was God
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: who from the beginning a man who created life, who
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: gave life, who breathed life, who sustains life. That we
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: see this a man being reproduced.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And how is it done by death by the seed
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: dying by the seed, being buried into the ground and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: rising up again in a new form. So Jesus even
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: spoke about the certainty of this amen in the Gospel
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: of John Lemy. Just go for just a minute, show
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you what Jesus said about this Amen. And he said
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: this as it pertained even to his own impending death
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: at this time, at that time, because he was preparing
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: his disciples for the fact that he was going to die.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: But he would return, he would return, he would be back.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Amen. And so look what he says.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: In the Gospel of John, chapter number twelve, verse twenty four.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus says, most assuredly, Now this this means that this
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: is certain. Amen, this is this is this is again
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a part of what God has ordered, a part of
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: what God is ordained, a part of what God has decreed.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: He says, surely, I say to you, unless a grain
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it must die.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: There must be it is. It is of a necessity
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that there must there must be death, it must go
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: into the ground. This is what Jesus is teaching now.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Now Jesus is now not only speaking from the natural perspective,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: but also he's teaching a spiritual lesson here, and listen
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: what he says. Unless a grain of wheat falls into
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the ground and dies, it must die.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: He said, Unless it does that its alone. But he says,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: if it dies, there must be death. Death comes first
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to this seed. He said, if that seed dies, if
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that seed goes in the ground, amen, it produces much grain.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: And then he goes on to say.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, watch this.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: He who loves his life will lose it, and he
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: who hates his life in this world will keep it
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: for eternal life. In other words, you and I must die.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: The old man must be crucified. The old man must
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: be put to death.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: And when we die, the natural man dies. When the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: old man is crucified, there comes out of a man
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that death, new life, a new harvest, a man, a
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: new everything.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Amen. The old passes away.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: As the Bible teaches Paul, the same apostle here said,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: if any man be in Christ, he becomes a new creation.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Why because the old man is buried, the old man
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is put down.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: The Bible teaches us, teaches us that we are buried
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: with him, with Jesus, that is in baptism, and we
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: will bury it with him in his death, and we
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: rise just as he did, to walk in a newness
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: of life. But we have to go down into that grave.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: The old man has to die. Amen, and then what
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: comes forth from that is not the same. That's why again,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: if you are still the same, who help us Jesus,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you cannot be the same when you are saying the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: old man, Oh, no, no, no, there has to be
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: a change. There must be a change. There must be
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a new man. Because when that old man is buried,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: when that old man dies, when that old man is
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: put into the grave, that new a creation that comes forth,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a man. It's not the same as the one that
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: went down.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Oh that's why, as you say, if you love your life,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you love that old man, you're gonna lose.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: You're gonna lose it. You're gonna lose that on life.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: But if you hate that life, if you reject that life,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: if you put to death, if that life is put
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to death, amen, in this world, then you will keep
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: it for eternal life. So Paul goes on to teach
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: back to First corinthianteen, verse thirty nine. He says, listen,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: all flesh is not the same flesh there's one kind
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: another of birds. These are all There are also, rather,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: he says, celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies. But the glory
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of the celestial is one, and the glory of the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: terrestrial is another. There's one glory of the sun, another
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: glory of the moon, another glory of the stars. For
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: one star differs from another star in glory.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: We have. And I hasten.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: On with this because I'm not going to take the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: time to go into this. But this, at least in
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: my mind, puts to death the argument of our evolving
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: from monkeys or fish, or mammals or any other thing.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, we are made uniquely in the image of God,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: in the likeness of him a man, and we don't
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: have the same kind of flesh a man, of animals,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of fish or bird.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And then Paul even points again to the celestial bodies
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the terrestrial bodies, and the glory of the celestial being one,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the glory of the terrestrial being another. Glory of the sun,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the glory of the moon, the glory of the stars,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: all different amen from one another in glory. But he
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: says in verse forty two. So also is the resurrection
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: of the dead, the body that we now inhabit. The
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Bible says, listen, the body is sown in corruption. See,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: we're in a temporary tabernacle, by the way. I hope
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: you know that. I know you know that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: You didn't come in to stay. You're not here to stay.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: The wages of sin is death.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Every man has an appointment with death.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: So that body, this tabernacle, this earthly tabernacle, that is
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: being dissolved, that is decaying because of sin, because of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the sin nature, because of the sin that's in our
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Dna that we inherited from Adam. This body is sown
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: in corruption, but it is raised. This is what Paul says,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: sown put into the ground in corruption. Amen, But it
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is raised in incorruption.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: It is sown in dishonor.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: It is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, Amen,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the natural body, the natural body. But it is raised
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a spiritual body. So that's the answer to the question,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: what kind of body? How will he come back? How
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: will we return? We are not coming back the same way.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: No man will a man. We will all be raised
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a man, not with the same natural body that we
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: die with, not with the same natural body that we
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: came with. We will be raised spiritually. We'll say spiritual body.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Paul says, there is a natural body, and there is
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a spiritual body. Listen what he says. He goes on
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to teach, and so it is written, the first man,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Adam became a living being. How did Adam become a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: living being? First and foremost, God again took the dust
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of the earth. He formed as it were, a corpse
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: of a man. When the Lord, first a man, molded Adam.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: If you will, Adam had no life in him.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: But the Bible teaches that God breathed into his nostrils.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: The breath of life a man life comes from God,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: it emanates from Him. And so Adam became.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: A living being. That's what the Bible says.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And man became a living soul. So the last atom,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: though a man, the Bible speaks of. Of course, this
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: is Christ that Paul is writing about here. The first man,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Adam became a living being. How by the power, by
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the breath of God breathing into his nostrils. The last
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Atam became a life giving spirit.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: That's Jesus. He came. This is what he said.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I come that you might have life and have it
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: more abundantly. So the first man, Adam became a living being.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: The last atom became a life giving spirit. That's what
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Jesus came, Amen, to give us life. Why well again
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: at just moment. But it's because of the first man, Adam,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: who died, who brought death. Listen what I But Paul
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: goes on to teach verse forty six. However, the spiritual
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: is not first, that is Christ in the sense in
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the order of how things transpired. Amen, we know he preceded,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: he was pre eminent. He is the pre eminent one.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: But I'm sorry Paul here and speaking of how Amen,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the first atom came Amen, in the natural. So the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: spiritual is not first, but the natural and afterward the spiritual.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: The first man was of the earth, that's Adam, made
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: You remember what.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, I am not of this world. My kingdom
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: is not of this world. I came from above. You
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: are from beneath, he says, I am from above, and
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I came down Amen, to do the will of him
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: that sent me. And this is the will of him
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: that sent me, that all who hear my words, all
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: who amen obey my voice, will live, Amen, will have life.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: As was the Man of us, so also are those
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: who are made of us. In other words, in Adam, we.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Are as he was. Amen.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: So also are those who are made of us. And
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: as is the heavenly man, so also are those who
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: are heavenly.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: So we are born again. When we are born again, No, rather,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: may I say, or should I say, Amen, we are
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: now taking on the image of the heavenly. We put
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: off the earthly, the man of the dust, the first
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the natural man, and a man put on the heavenly,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the spiritual. And the Bible says in verse forty nine.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: And as we have borne that is taken on. As
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: we have come into this world with the image of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the man of dust, that is Adam, we will come.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: We all come with the body, with the DNA, with
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a man temporary tabernacle, a man just like Adam had
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: after he sinned, a man. As we have borne the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: image of the man of dust, we shall also bear
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the image of the heavenly man.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And This is exactly Church of the Living God. This
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: is exactly why it is imperative.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: That all men be born again.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: That's why jesusaid Marvenot, that I say unto you, Nicodemus,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: you must be born again. That which is of the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: flesh is flesh. That which is of the flesh is flesh.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: That which is after the flesh is flesh. That which
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: is after the spirit is spirit. And Jesus would go
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: on to say those Jews, he said, worse, did I
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: speak unto you are spirit and life. And except you
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: eat the flesh of the sun a man and drink
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: his blood, you will have no life. I am the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: bread that came down from heaven, that you may eat
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: thereof and live.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: That's why it's imperative that all men everywhere be born again.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: We came into this world an image and after the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: nature of our progenitor, Adam again, the one who send
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and brought amen upon us.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Adam became a living being only after again the spirit
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: of life was breathed into his nostrils.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And it was because of his transgression that death was
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: introduced into our dna. Well, the Lord said to Adam
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Because Adam did this knowing when he was The Bible
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: teaches very clearly that Adam was not deceived. This was
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: not a sin of you know, of just of ignorance.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Adam knew exactly what he was doing. Amen, and he
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: took his grasp at autonomy. He rebelled against God deliberately,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: and in so doing death came upon Amen. Adam and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: all a man who proceeded from him. It was because
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of his transgression that death was introduced to to our DNA.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: And that's why Paul refers back again to the dust.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Atom is a man of the dust, and the Lord
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: said to him, from the dust you were taken, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to the dust you shall return. You. So now when
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: we die, ladies and gentlemen, when we deny, if we die,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: when we die, we go back to the dust. And
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: because we die this body. Think of your body as
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a seed. When it is planted into the ground.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Guess what happens. It goes in.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Dead, But there's still life. Where is the life? It
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: comes from the spirit of God.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: The first atom brought us death, but the second atom
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: brought us life through the first atom, we all die.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: But it is through the second atom, Jesus, the Christ,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: that we all live. So now it is only please
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: understand it, because some people think that they are living
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: because they have oxygen, they have blood, they have a
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: heart that's pumping blood, that they are breathing, and they exercise,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: and that they you know, no, no life comes from God. Again,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: it emanates from him. It is his breath, his spirit
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: of life that is in each and every one of us.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: And we do have an appointment with death, as much
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: as we don't like to acknowledge it. And man, this
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: old body, this decaying body, is being destroyed because of sin,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the sin nature that is living within our members. But
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: now in the second atom, in Christ, Jesus, we are
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: able to.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Breathe and have new life. And and and why is this?
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: How is this?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: And again it is because sin was defeated. Sin was
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: put to death in the life of Jesus, and it
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: culminated the death of sin. It man, the death of death,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: by the way, also culminated in the death of Jesus.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: And so when Jesus died, the death he said it
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: is finished. That that statement, it is finished. It is
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: so potent it is so far reaching. We certainly don't
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: have the time to plunge into the depths of all
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: of what that means. But understand that when Jesus finished
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: his earthly ministry that culminated in his death at Cavalry,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: in his burial in the ground. And remember what he said,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: he was talking about himself. It abides along, but if
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: it dies, it brings forth much fruit a man. And
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: so when Jesus died that death, and when he was
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: buried in the ground, in the grave, brother, he came
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: back because again, first and foremost, he is the resurrection.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, sin can not hold him, I mean
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: death cannot hold him down because he was sinless. And
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: because he was sinless, death had no claim on him,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the grave had no claim on him. And so in
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: his death, sin was defeated. Sin was put to death.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And so all who are baptized in him, all who
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: die in him, are freed from the corruption, from the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: bondage of sin. Oh, I wish we could get that.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I wish we could get that. I wish we could
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: get that. You are freed from the bondage and the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: corruption of sin because Jesus put it to death. So
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: this is how the dead are raised up. The sentence
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: that the first atom got imposed upon us has now
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: been revoked by the life giving, heavenly second atom, who
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: This is how the dead are raised up. This is
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: how the dead are raised up. Marvel not at this,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: by the way, this is what Jesus taught. I believe
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: John and John chapter five. He said, don't marvel at this.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: The hour is coming when all who are in the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: grave will hear the voice of the Son.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Of God and live.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Ever, very body is coming back. Every body is coming back. Ah, Jesus,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: don't marvel at that. Why how is it that every
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: body is coming back? Because again death has been defeated.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Death has been defeated.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: And so because death has been defeated, now the last
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: enemy that's.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Going to be destroyed.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: It's all going to be defeat And we already talked
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: about this in the previous session. By the way, it
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: has already been defeated. But this is the last enemy
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: that's going to be destroyed. Death is going to be
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: eternally forever destroyed, which means that we will all live forever.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: All men have etern and on life. That's why Jesus
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: said the hour is coming when all who are in
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the grave will hear the voice of the Son of
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: God and live. That body goes into the ground, but
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: that's not the end. And that body that goes into
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the ground is going to be a different.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Body that's coming back. This is what Paul is teaching.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: We've borne the image of the Man of the dust.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: We've borned the image of Adam. We took on the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: image of Adam. We lived our lives on this side
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: of eternity in the body in the temporary tabernacle that
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: we inherited from Adam. But Paul says, we're going to
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: bear the image of the heavenly, the Lord from Heaven
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and amen and again. In him we have life, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: we have it more abundantly. So how how are the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: dead raised up? How are the dead raised up? Only
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: by Jesus, who is the resurrection, who is the life?
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: With What body will they come back? An eternal body
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: that will never die again. The only question then that
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: remains is where will your body be? Where will your
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: body be? Your new body that will be raised up
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: it will either be with the Lord in glory, a
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: new glorified body with them, or it will be a
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: new body that will be eternally separated from him forever
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: in the lake of fire, where there will be As
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, Jesus talked about it more than anyone,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: weeping and gnashing of tea. But make no mistake about it.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: You will live forever.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Is resurrection of the dead all who are in the graves.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, We're here the voice of the Son of
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: God and live. So Father, please help someone today to
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: know that you are the resurrection and life. And you
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: will live, move and have off of being, and we
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: shall rise again. And because you live, we can live also.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Open eyes, open ears, open hearts, as only you can do,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: by the power of your Holy Spirit. It's in the
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus the Christ. We pray in your things.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Amen and Amen, God bless you in Jesus' name.
