Message # 18 - Part 4
TEEMING WITH LI=
FE
Part 4
Genesis 2:16-20
&=
nbsp; =
16,
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the gar=
den
thou mayest freely eat:
17, But
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: f=
or in
the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18, And
the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will mak=
e him
an help meet for him.
19, And
out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every =
fowl
of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and
whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20, And
Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every be=
ast
of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
KJV
Verse 16,
And the Lord God commanded the man saying, of every tree of the Gard=
en,
thou mayest freely eat. KJV
The Hebrew word translated commanded
is much more complicated than it appears to be at first sight. It mea=
ns to
appoint, or to constitute, and can also mean to
cause to exist.
Webster=3Ds says that the =
word appoint
means to provide what is needed, the word constitute
means to give lawful order, and the word exist
means to come into being, or to have real being whether
spiritual or material.
The English word to exist is fr=
om a
root that means to stand, or to rise into an erect
position.
The Scripture describes spiritual weakness as=
lying
down in a bed. Wherefore, the promise of the Word of God to us who
believe is that we shall stand up. Indeed, we shall rise up into a spiritu=
ally
erect position by the spiritual power of the Lord Jesus Christ, and tred t=
he
ungodly soul realm under our feet.
Death
is separation from God. The soul realm is separated from God and is, there=
fore,
the realm of death. This Satanic realm is a place teeming with
organisms which mortal man calls life, but the Scripture cal=
ls it
death.
The
consciousness that exists in the realm of death is forced under our spirit=
ual
feet when we stand up in spiritual strength. Death can no longer hurt us. Curses cannot hurt us, demons=
cannot
hurt us, even Satan, the unconscious part of our own Carnal Mind cannot hu=
rt
us, because we will have full spiritual authority over him.
Obviously, to be lying down on a piece of gro=
und
that is covered with worms, ants, roaches, maggots, and other kinds of
pestilence, is revolting. The pestilence cannot touch you if you have=
good
leather boots on and are standing up on your feet, but you can step on it.=
That
is the reality of mortal man=3Ds spiritual condition in this hour.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the only man that I =
know of
today that is standing fully erect.
Those of us who are in a ministry like this o=
ne, are
most likely sitting up in that bed. We are just starting to rise, because =
ascension
is a very painful process.
And the Lord God commanded the man saying . . . . The Hebrew word trans=
lated saying,
means to impose one=3Ds will. God commanded Adam, saying, Stand up,
because it is my will that you stand up in spiritual strength.
God said, Adam stand up, and that mean=
s, It
is My will that you stand up, you have to do it. God did not=
tell
Adam that he could stand if he wanted to.
Here is Verse 16 again, And the =
Lord
God commanded the man saying, of every tree of the Garden thou mayest free=
ly
eat.
The Hebrew word translated freely
means for nothing, or without reward. We know =
that
there is a reward in the realm of death, because the Scripture says <=
b>the
wages of sin is death.
You are paid a wage when you are in the death=
realm,
and that wage is death. But there is no charge for the Tree of Life that i=
s in
the Garden, or for any of the things of God. They are free. For=
by
grace ye are saved, not by works, Hallelujah, Glory to God.
Gen 2:16-17
16, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest
freely eat:
17, But
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: f=
or in
the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.KJV
The Hebrew word translated knowledge
means to know, to perceive, to be aware =
of by
the eyes or by the touching, and often by a kn=
owledge
of the mind, hence, to understand or to experi=
ence.
Many people read this Bible and can even quot=
e long
passages of the Scripture, but they do not understand it. Someone told me =
that they
listened to a program on the radio recently, where all the Scriptures that=
we
are preaching here were being quoted, but they were saying completely diff=
erent
things about them. Most Christians have a carnal knowledge of the
Scripture, but they do not have the spiritual understanding.
A knowledge of the Tree of the Knowledge of G=
ood and
Evil means a deep
understanding, as opposed to a surface knowledge.
The word, knowledge, can also be used to suggest sexua=
l intercourse,
or to be taught by experience.
We are talking about partaking of the Tree of=
the
Knowledge of Good and Evil, which means to have an intimate experien=
ce
with evil that can be likened to sexual intercourse.
We are talking about spiritual copulati=
on,
which, whether we copulate in the natural or in the spiritual, results in =
the
birth of children.
Copulation with the Tree of the Knowledge of =
Good
and Evil produces the Satanic realm, the unconscious part of the mind of c=
arnal
man.
Copulation with the Tree of Life produces the=
Mind
of God.
The Hebrew word translated good=
means fertile
land, the kindness of God, wealth, =
welfare,
and happiness. The Hebrew word translated evil
means bad, evil, noxious, =
malignant,
envious, and is from a root that means (which I find very
interesting), to be good for nothing, to bre=
ak
down into pieces.
We have been discussing over the past few mon=
ths how
the creation is in pieces. The living soul that fell is in three parts, Ad=
am,
Eve, and Satan, the unconscious part of the Carnal Mind, and if you have C=
hrist,
you also have Adam, who is Christ. &=
nbsp;
Whoever has Christ is a part of Adam, who is Christ. You probably a=
lso
have a few demons.
The creation is in many pieces which are fused
together in an incorrect moral order, with Satan, the unconscious part of =
the
Carnal Mind, on top, ruling over us, the personality, and tyrannizing us. =
When
Jesus Christ comes into our life, He breaks up the Carnal Mind. He breaks =
the
pieces apart.
&=
nbsp; He
is rearranging them into the proper moral order, and when that is accompli=
shed,
He is going to fuse them all together with Satan underfoot and with C=
hrist
on top.
This word evil means to be
broken down into pieces. What God is saying here is very interesti=
ng, and
it is a very important point. He is saying that a person that is manifesti=
ng
what we would call evil behavior is spiritually immat=
ure.
=
For
years I have been saying, How could God stand us, how He could He st=
and
our affliction, how could He stand our demons, how could He stand our short
comings, how could it be? He has shown me, in no uncertain terms, =
that
He could stand it, because in His eyes, we are His spiritual babies.
We know what our children do to each other. T=
hey
beat each other, and they would kill each other if we would let them go un=
restrained.
They have no concept at all of not hurting their brother or anything like =
that.
The most evil, malignant person is a person t=
hat has
been broken down into pieces, that is without Christ, and, thus, spiritual=
ly
immature. It is the will of the Father to put the pieces back together aga=
in,
and raise up the entire creation, back up to the high realm of the spirit =
where
it will not be evil anymore.
How many times do you see a bratty kid and sa=
y of
him, That kid, oh boy! and he grows up to be a wonderful sol=
id
citizen in society? Well, this is how God views evil. He views the evil ma=
n as
a spiritually immature person, and that is how He hates the evil that the
person is doing, but He does not hate the man.
He loves the man, so He calls him to repent, =
and He
will call him to repent, and He will call him to repent. If he will not re=
pent,
He will rein judgment on him, because the Lord cannot permit rebellio=
n to
continue. He never stops loving you, because He understands that you are j=
ust a
spiritual child. That is the definition of evil.
I am going to read Verses 16 and 17 in =
the
King James, and then I have an Alternate Translation for you. <=
i>
Gen 2:16-17
16, And the Lord God commanded the man say=
ing, of
every tree of the Garden thou mayest freely eat,
17, But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Go=
od and
Evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day that thou eatest, thou shalt
surely die. KJV
I forgot to tell you that the Hebrew word tra=
nslated
die is also very interesting. It means to fail=
, and
it is referring to land. Is that not interesting? We know th=
at we
are land, and it means that the land will remain untilled.
We know from the prior meetings that the Son =
of God
is appearing in the earth of mankind to till it. We found out the Heb=
rew
word translated tilled means to subdue the earth.<=
/b>
It means, to bring it into submission to the spiritual man, where the
natural man will serve the spiritual man.
The wickedness of the earth is running wild, =
he is
unrestrained, because there is no spiritual man in the earth. That is=
the
Scriptural definition of death -- separation from God.
Someone asked me a very good question last Su=
nday
morning, Did God not permit all of this wickedness and all of t=
his
false doctrine, specifically false doctrine, to get into the church?
My answer to that person is this. It is not s=
o much
that God permitted it, but because it is taking so long in the natural rea=
lm
for the Son of God to appear in the earth of mankind, and since there was =
no
one there to subdue the earth, the Satanic realms, have multiplied, a=
nd
false doctrine, and all kinds of wickedness have come forth.
It is not so much that God permitted it, but =
that
there was an absence of Him for the season. There was a vacuum created bec=
ause
there was nobody there to subdue the earth, either the earth of the unsaved
man, or the earth of the saved man who is producing false doctrine. Hallel=
ujah.
Here is my alternate translation.
Gen . 2:16-17, Alternate Translation,
16-17, And the Lord God provided Adam with what he needed to come into a
lawful moral order, which raised him to an erect position of real spiritual
being, and God imparted into Adam's very being a knowledge of the spiritua=
l law
of God, which says that it is lawful for the mind of man to copulate with =
the
mind of God, thus reproducing the life of God, but it is unlawful for the =
mind
of man to copulate with the Satanic realm, the unconscious part of the
Carnal Mind which exists within man himself, because such an unlawful cop&=
shy;ulation
would result in the reproduction of the Satanic realm in the mind of that =
man.
The ultimate result of such a moral failure (=
to
copulate with the Satanic realm), is that the earth, with all of the wicke=
dness
in it, will not be subdued.
The only one who can enslave the land, or sub=
due it,
or put it underfoot, is the Son of God.&n=
bsp;
When the Satanic realm is reproduced in our m=
ind,
the Son of God is trodden underfoot, and the Satanic realm, the unconscious
part of the Carnal Mind, is ruling.
Heb 6:4‑6
4 For it is impossible for those who were once
enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers=
of
the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and t=
he
powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them agai=
n unto
repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and p=
ut
him to an open shame. KJ=
V
This means that by giving power, by giving le=
gal
grounds to the Satanic realms, the unconscious part of the Carnal Min=
d,
has risen up, and is now on top of the Christ Mind.
We have had a lot of messages like this. Only=
Christ
or dam can be on top at one time. When we do certain things that give Satan
legal ground to rise up in spiritual power, the result is that the Son of =
God
is put underfoot. Both minds cannot be up at the same time.
When our mind is turned over to the Satanic r=
ealm, when
we copulate with the Satanic realm, the unconscious part of the Carnal Min=
d, we
are treading the Son of God underfoot and, therefore, we die. That is what
death is -- separation from the Son of God.
When God put Adam into the correct moral orde=
r, Adam
was on top, his emotions underfoot, and the Satanic realm, the uncons=
cious
part of the Carnal Mind, way down at the bottom. Satan was just giving the
creation form, and did not have anything to say about decisions or anything
else. He was just supposed to serve his function. That is the proper =
moral
order.
When God said to Adam, And the Lord God
commanded the man saying, of every tree of the Garden thou mayest freely e=
at.Y=
He
was saying, ...This is your proper order, I am giving =
you
authority over the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, over Sa&sh=
y;tan,
the unconscious part of the Carnal Mind. I have given you the imputed anoi=
nting
of God, and you are now strong enough to rule over the Tree of the Knowled=
ge of
Good and Evil. I have told you what is right, and I have told you what is
wrong. Now live!
But, if you eat of the Tree of the Knowledge =
of Good
and Evil, and you give the Satanic realm an opportunity to reproduce itsel=
f in
your mind, you are going to die, because you will have tread the Son of Go=
d underfoot.
Nevertheless, we all know that this is what
happened.
Gen, 2:18, And the Lord God said, it is no=
t good
that the man should be alone, I will make a helpmeet for him. KJV
What in the world is God talking about? We to=
uched
on this a couple of services ago. We know from a prior message, that =
the
translation of Verse 15 where it says, And the Lo=
rd
God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and keep =
it,
is that the imparted anointing of God was imparted to Adam.
The Lord God Himself entered within Adam. He =
married
him, He joined Himself to him. Adam was the protector, and the salt of the
earth. What then is God talking about when He says, It is not good for a m=
an to
be alone?
Let us analyze this. The Hebrew word translat=
ed alone
means separate or apart, and it is from a root, which means =
to
divide or to be solitary. Webster's says it mea=
ns, separated
from others, isolated, without aid or support.
Support
means to hold up or serve as a foundation or a prop and to keep some=
thing
going.
&=
nbsp; Very
often in the Scriptures (we talked about this in another meeting), the Holy
Spirit will make a statement, which, if you can acknowledge that the Holy
Spirit said it, you will also have to acknowledge that the opposite is
true.
If Adam was alone, for example, then he was no
longer was with God. In one verse he was married to God, and two verses do=
wn,
he is alone.
We do not know how it happened, but if God sa=
id, It
is not good for a man to be alone, I have to make him something to sup=
;port
him, we must confess that God divorced Adam.
Can you say amen to that?
PASTOR VITALE (speaking directly to a member of the congregation): You cannot sa=
y amen
to that? If I say to you, you do not have jet-black hair, does that not im=
ply
to you that you either have brown, blonde or red hair, despite the fact th=
at I
never said that you have blonde, brown or red hair? If I said you do not h=
ave
jet-black, dark brown, medium or light brown hair, but you do have hair, w=
hat
conclusion would you draw? You would assume that you have another color ha=
ir,
that it is either blonde or red or white or grey. Right?
If God says that Adam is alone, that means th=
at God
cannot be with him. If somebody is divorced, and I say to you that so̴=
9;and‑so
does not have a husband, then you know that they are alone. This kind of
reasoning leads us to believe that Adam has been divorced by God.
I will make a helpmeet for him=
. The Hebrew word translated make
means to make by labor, and the Hebrew word translated
It means to surround or to defend,<=
/b> and
Webster's definition of the word aid is =
an
auxiliary or instrumental device.
Adam had been divorced by God, and there was
something that he needed that he did not have, in order to continue on. God
said, I am going to give you a helpmeet, because it is not to your
welfare to continue in your present condition. You are lacking something. =
There
is something lacking from you since I divorced you.
Gen. 2:18, And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be
alone. I will make him a helpmeet for him. KJV
Gen. 2:18, Alternate Translation,<=
/b> And the Lord God said, it is not to the m=
an's
benefit, and will work against his welfare to be separate, isolated, =
and
without aid or support. I will make an instrumental device which will supp=
ort
him or help him to continue to perform the function that I have ordained f=
or
him to fulfill.
Adam was missing something that he needed, so=
God
told him that He would provide, or satisfy that need.
Out of the clear blue sky, in Verse 19<=
/i>,
God says,
Gen 2:19, And out of the ground the Lord G=
od
formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air, and brought them
unto Adam to see what he would call them, and whatsoever Adam called every
living creature, that was the name thereof. KJV
That is very confusing. What in the world is God talking =
about?
First, Adam is married, then Adam is alone, then God is going to make=
a
support for Adam, and then, all of sudden, God is forming the beast =
of
the field. What is going on here?
The message that God has given us today (the =
rest of
the message) is a study on the beast of the field. I will te=
ll
you what I am trying to establish before we go on, so that you can, hopefu=
lly,
understand what I am saying, and follow along with what I am saying. =
I am suggesting to you that the beast of the =
field
is not the pigs, and the cows, and the goats, and the chickens, but that t=
hese
animals are types that represent the many members of humanity
that God ordained to come forth from Adam.
Remember, Adam was a spiritual creation. God =
told
him to go forth and multiply, and we see billions of men and women across =
the
face of the earth today. This was God's intention: that there should be ma=
ny
members of humanity. God made only one living soul; He created one living =
soul,
which has many members.
We know that there are only two men in the ea=
rth,
there is fallen adam, and there is Christ, and they are both many‑me=
mbered
bodies. If you do not have Christ, you are a member of the many‑memb=
ered
body of fallen adam. The second man, Christ, is coming to subdue the earth=
man
and bring him into servitude.
When you receive the Holy Spirit, the apparat=
us to
birth the Christ is present in you, and you begin to be baptized into the =
body
of Christ, which process can take years to fully complete.
We can say there are three kinds of people. T=
here is
a very large group of men that are of the many‑membered body of fall=
en
adam. They do not have Christ.
Then there are people in the earth today who =
are
both in the many‑membered body of fallen adam, and the many‑me=
mbered
body of Christ Jesus. These are two men.
=
Then
there is Christ, and the only man that I know of that is totally Christ is=
the
Lord Jesus Christ.
There is a warfare going on. The Son of God i=
n us
(if we have the Lord) is at war with the fallen adamic realm, and intends =
to
subdue him. Christ is supposed to enslave fallen adam, but fallen adam doe=
s not
want to be enslaved.
If you are going through trials and tribulati=
ons and
problems, it is because there is a warfare going on, and the warfare is not
with the demons hanging around in the sky. The warfare is between the emer=
ging
Christ in you, and the fallen adamic man that has ruled you virtually from
birth. Fallen adam has ruled powerfully in this earth for centuries, and h=
as no
intention of turning to the Lord Jesus Christ. In the darkness of his fall=
en
condition, adam does not comprehend that he has no choice. Fallen adam
will submit to Christ, whether he agrees to do it, or not. He really thinks
that he is right, and is in total rebellion against the Son of God, and th=
is is
the reason for the warfare that is going on.
The Lord Jesus Christ is in the process of pl=
eading
with fallen adam. This is the word that the Scripture uses, pleading=
.
The Lord Jesus is pleading with fallen adam to submit to Him, but when the=
Lord
God pleads with you, He pleads with fire, He pleads with judgment. The Lor=
d God
comes to you in love and He says, Submit to me, but when your
answer is, No way, corrective judgment falls.
I was over at someone's house the other day, = and her two‑year old said he was getting his bike or something, and I said, = Are you going to let me ride? He pointed his finger, and said, No way! That is= what fallen adam is saying to Jesus Christ, No way, I will not submit to you! <= o:p>
Jesus gave us a parable in which He said they=
killed
his prophets. They tried, and they did indeed crucify the Son of God, beca=
use,
in the darkness of their minds, they really do not have the understanding =
that
it (His subduing the creation) is going to happen whether they fight it or=
not.
There is hope, however, because we are told i=
n one
of the Epistles of Paul that the powers and principalities shall indeed un=
derstand
the purposes of the Living God in the earth, by the Word of the Church.
The Lord God is raising up the true Church ri=
ght now
with the true word of God that is being preached to the powers and princi&=
shy;palities
in our own mind, and to the powers and principalities in the believer that=
is a
natural man manifesting on the soul realm, and to the natural man that doe=
s not
have Christ at all.
The Word of Truth is going forth that the Lor=
d Jesus
Christ is subduing, and shall subdue the earth of mankind. Therefore, man&=
shy;kind
should give it up and throw itself in line with God.
This is how God pleads with you. If you say, =
No,
He pours judgment down, fire and brimstone until you are lying down on the
floor and saying, I give up. He will pulverize you.
God is no wishy washy, mollycoddle. He is God=
, but a
lot of people today do not know who He is. He is very long suffering, He l=
ooks
the other way, and He winks for long periods of time. However, when He cal=
ls
you in and He says, Now is the hour that I am dealing with you<=
/i>,
and you do not submit to Him, and you do not repent, corrective judgment w=
ill
fall on you, and it will continue to fall until you submit.
That is our God. Judgment is an act of mercy,=
and it
is an act of love, because what He is doing is delivering us from the real=
m of
death. If He does not judge us, we will continue in our sins, and if we
continue in our sins, we will continue to die. Our natural example is our
children. We know that to beat our children is to love them.
We are going on with our study on the words <=
b>field
and beast. I am going to try and, hopefully, will impart=
to
you by the power of God manifesting through me, an understanding of who
There are two Hebrew words translated f=
ield
in the Scripture. The Hebrew word translated field in the
Psalm 96:12,
Let the field be joyful and all that is therein, then shall all of the =
trees
of the wood rejoice. KJV
The Scriptures tell us that there is life in =
the field.
There is life in the field, and I suggest to you (you are going to have to=
pray
about this as it is not that clear), that this Psalm is not speaking about=
cows
and pigs and goats when it says, all that is therein.
The word joyful merely means
There are three Hebrew words translated
We have learned in this ministry that demons =
are the
offspring that result when the mind of man copulates with the Satanic
realm, the unconscious part of the Carnal Mind. Such copulation produces t=
he
fruit, demons, which are spiritual parasites that live in our spiritual, a=
nd
sometimes in our physical body.
The Lord showed me that there are three diffe=
rent
Hebrew words translated beast in the Scriptures. There is the
Hebrew word chay, Strong=3Ds #2416,
which comes from a root that means to live, or to keep
alive. It means alive, hence raw (flesh). It can be
translated living creature. It is the Hebrew word translated=
beast
in Genesis 2:19, which we are studying right now.
Then there is the Hebrew word translated <=
i>beast
that is Strong=3Ds #929, behemah It
means a dumb beast, any one of the large quadrupeds =
or
animals, often collectively called beast or cattle=
,
that is, four footed animals, cows, goats. It is very close to the word <=
i>Behemoth.
Behemoth, that mystical creature in Job, Chapter 40, is the plural of the =
behemah.
In other words, the word, beast, Strong=3Ds #929 means one cow, or one goa=
t.
Behemoth, the mystical beast of Job 40, is the totality of t=
he
cows. May the Lord q=
uickens
this to you.
There is a third word translated beast<=
/i>,
which also involves the second word translated field in the =
book
of Daniel, Chapter 4, starting with Verse 12, =
Daniel 4:12, And this is the dream that
Nebuchadnezzar had, it was about a tree, the leaves thereof were fair, and=
the
fruit thereof much and in it was meat for all, the beast of the field had
shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the bowels thereof, =
and
all flesh, was fed of it. And I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed =
and
behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven, and he cried =
aloud
and said thus, hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, you see it is a
man, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit, and let the beast get aw=
ay
from under it, and the fowls from his branches. KJV
I am suggesting to you that the Hebrew word
translated field here is to be void of wood or=
villages
It comes from a root that means cleaned up grain, corn, and =
the
word beast means animal, living animal.
I am suggesting to you that there is all kind=
s of
spiritual life that can be reproduced in the mind of man. When the Life of=
God
is produced in the mind of man, the mind of man is a field that is lik=
;ened
to winnowed corn, which is good for making bread.
Winnowed corn means corn that you have taken the chaff off of it, and the
We, mortal mankind, are the dumb beast,=
the
four footed dumb beast. This is not very flattering, brethren, but=
I am
suggesting to you that we are the four‑footed dumb beast that God pl=
aced
His spiritual life in. The life of the Son has been placed in these animal
bodies, which we are, making us the sons of God.
I am trying to establish that the field=
was Adam, and that when God formed the beast of the gr=
ound,
He formed the potential for spiritual life in every one of us.
We know that there is a Scripture in the <=
i>Book
of Job that says, God knew from the beginning, He wro=
te in
the book every member that Adam would produce before he produced it. Do
you remember that Scripture?
God wrote in a book how many members there wo=
uld be
in the body of Adam, but before Adam could produce all of us, he had to ha=
ve
the seed of the life.
Just like a woman needs to have ovaries with =
eggs
before she can produce a child, God
made a provision for spiritual eggs to be placed in human beings as=
we
know them today.
First of all, remember (going back to Sunday's
message), that the Living Soul, the earth and the life of the Son in the L=
iving
Soul, was all lumped together. Then God separated the lump out into the hu=
man
spirit, the human soul, and Satan, the unconscious part of the Carnal Mind,
which continues to be formed while for as long as we exist.
The next thing that God did was to provide sp=
iritual
reproductive organs, and all of the eggs that would be the members of
Adam's body, which we are today. These are the beast of the field.
Continuing on with this study. . .
I have a reference for you.
Joel 2:22,
Be not afraid ye beast of the field, for the pastures of the wildern=
ess
do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yi=
eld
their strength. KJV
Joel 2:22, Alternate Translation, Be not afraid, [all you] men [who exist]=

soul realm, for the
Truly, God would not be saying to the cows, <=
b>be
not afraid. I hope that you can receive that.
is Strong=3Ds #930,
as opposed to Strong's#929. Behemoth is the collecti=
ve
herd of beast.
We are going to do a short study in Job=
40:15.
Job 40:15,
Behold now Behemoth, which I made with thee [this is God tal=
king
to Job], he eateth grass as an ox. Lo, now his strength is in his lo=
ins,
and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a ceda=
r,
the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pie=
ces
of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of =
God:
he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. KJV
Who is this Behemoth?
Genesis 3:6, And when the woman saw that the tree w=
as good
for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also un=
to
her husband with her. KJV
Genesis 3:6, Y.Her husband with her. KJV
We have done several studies from which the
knowledge has been imparted to us that the original creation was both male=
and
female. God gave me a very strong witness to this. It is not on any o=
f the
other tapes. I do not know why I did not think of it before, but God Himse=
lf is
male and female.
We know that God was the mother and father of=
Adam,
and we know that God has names, one of which is the breasted one=
.
We also know that God raises up and nourishes children.
The Lord is saying that spiritual life is bot=
h male
and female. The original creation was spiritual. Adam before the fal=
l was
a spiritual being who was both male and female. When Eve gave to e=
at,
she gave to her husband with her, because they were one spir=
itual
being. When Eve ate the fruit, Adam automatically partook of it. If y=
ou
are pregnant and you eat, your baby automatically gets fed the same food. =
The original creation was on a much higher sp=
iritual
realm than we are now. It had not yet fallen, and the being, the Living So=
ul,
had both sexes within, just like God does.
Back to Job 40, Verse 15. God is
saying to Job, talking about man in general. Now look at the corpora=
te
Adam that I made. Look at him, I made him with you, you are one with him.
The Scripture tells us that when a man and wo=
man
marry, they are one flesh, and that this is a great mystery. In the soul r=
ealm
we are all one living soul, we are all one flesh.
Job is one with Behemoth. He is one of the ma=
ny
members of the body of fallen adam, whom, I suggest to you, is Behemoth. G=
od
said, I made you, you are a part of him, so look and see that you ar=
e a
part of the one who eateth grass like an ox.
The Hebrew word translated ox, =
is only
translated ox only this once. There are about fifteen refere=
nces
to ox or oxen in the Scripture, but this is the
only time that it is a translation of this Hebrew word. It means, an animal of eith=
er
gender used for plowing, and collectively it is used of a he=
rd.
It is from a root that means to plow, or to break forth, and to caus=
e the
arising of light.
This is a fascinating study. The King James
translators just could not figure out what God was saying, so they almost =
made
it up (we talked about this before).
We know that Jesus tells us by His parables i=
n the
Scriptures that our soul is being plowed -- that the Son of God is appeari=
ng in
us, and that He is plowing our souls. He is breaking up the fallow ground,=
He
is pulling out the rocks and the weeds, which are the demons and the
curses, and He is bringing forth the Life of His Son.
This word ox is a word that is =
used to
plow the ground.
The Hebrew word translated grass
merely means a leek, but it comes from a root that mean=
s a
habitation or a dwelling place.
Webster=3Ds says that the =
word with
means together, and Webster=3Ds says
the word together means that they are in one place as a
group.
I am going to read Job Chapter 40,Verse=
15
again. =
Job
40:15, Behold now Behemoth, the collective herd that is together in one
place, which I made with thee [you were a part of it], he ea=
teth
grass as an ox. KJV
The word eat means to con=
sume.
Job 40:15, Alternate Translation, Behold
Behemoth, the corporate Adam which I made in the same place with you, he
consumes or eateth up the dwelling places of God's creation, as an ox pull=
ing a
plow overturns a field. =
We know that fallen adam does indeed eat up t=
he
dwelling places of God's people. The dwelling places that we live in are t=
hese
physical bodies, which die because fallen adam has consumed them. But our
physical bodies are not supposed to die. They die because sin dwells in our
hearts.
Job 40:15, Alternate Translation, Behold
Behemoth, the corporate man, which I made in the same place with you [you are a part of him, you are one], =
he
eateth up the dwelling places of God's creation, like an ox pulling a plow
overturns a field.
Behemoth is literally overturning the dwelling
places of God. Hallelujah.
This is what fallen adam is doing in the earth
today.
Job 40:16, Lo, now his strength is in his loins and his force is in the
navel of belly. KJV
The Hebrew word translated strength=
is
especially used of virile strength, virility.
Genesis 49:3, Y.thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beg=
inning of
my strength. KJV
Genesis 4:12 talks about the strength of the earth, the earth's produce, its
reproductive power, its reproductive health. That is what this Scripture is
talking about. The Hebrew word translated loins means =
reproductive
part, the seat of one's strength.
There is a difference between strength<=
/i>
and loins. Strength means that a man is basica=
lly virile;
we know that he is strong, that he can produce children. Loins
signifies the actual reproductive part. Here is a reference =
for
the word loins.
Isaiah
21:3, Therefore are my loins filled with pain, pangs have taken =
hold
upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth. KJV
We are talking about Behemoth's reproductive = parts, that he is very virile, and has power in his reproductive parts. We also know that there are men who cannot prod= uce children. You can have the male organ and still not be able to produce a c= hild; you can have the female organs and still not be able to produce a child. <= o:p>
The loins are the reproductive organs, but vi=
rility
indicates that Behemoth has great strength to reproduce. For God has,
indeed, said, Go forth and multiply.
=
Job
40:15 (second half), . . . . His force is in the navel of his be=
lly.
The Hebrew word translated force means
the spiritual substance which goes into the first born.=
Throughout the Scriptures we are told that the
firstborn son receives both the natural and the spiritual inheritance. He
receives the blessing, and he received the land, the birthright. This is a
spiritual truth.
I do not think we have previously touched on =
this
spiritual principle here, but when a man (the Scripture always talks about=
the
man), reproduces, his reproductive force goes into that child, who, for all
intents and purposes, is that man.
So, when the man dies, the child that remains is that same man still
abiding on the earth.
There is a Scripture about a king who had twe=
lve
sons that went off to battle. We are told that they were all killed, and a=
ll of
his reproductive strength in the earth died.
The Scripture says, Y.and they (the s=
ons)
went into battle, and were killed, and he (the king) died, <=
/i>because
he had no sons to carry on his genetic heritage.
This word force is referring to=
the
spiritual strength that you have laid up for your firstborn. According to =
the
Scripture, each child that you produce thereafter receives less and less of
your spiritual substance.
I cannot explain this principle any more clea=
rly at
this time, but I know that God has shown it to me.
The firstborn receives the largeest part of t=
he
genetic spiritual substance of the man. It goes to the firstborn.
The phrase, His force is in his navel,
is talking about Behemoth=3Ds spiritual substance, which is his ability to
reproduce himself spiritually.
When we see natural babies we say that they a=
re
cute, and ask, Which parent do they look like?
We are also spiritual babies, and members of =
the
Living Soul that died, the one that we have inherited our spiritual substa=
nce
from.
When we say that the force was in his n=
avel,
we mean that which was going to be imparted, his spiritual reproduct=
ive
strength that was in his navel.
Psalm 105:36, He smote all the firstborn i=
n the
land, the chief of all their strength.
The Hebrew word translated first born
is the same Hebrew word translated force. This Psalm is sayi=
ng is
that when He smote all of the firstborn, He smote the chief, or the greate=
st,
of their spiritual reproductive strength.
The Hebrew word translated navel in
the phrase, the force is in his navel, means the firm =
part
of the belly.
A couple of weeks ago we talked about the wor=
d jealousy
in the context of the husband taking his wife to the priest because he
suspected her of being adulterous.
The priest would, then, give the woman a potion to drink and pronou=
nce
an oath over her, that, if she was indeed adulterous, her belly should rot=
.
The same Hebrew word translated navel <=
/i>in
Job 40:15, is translated belly i=
n the
above account. It means reproductive part, and is used in the
Scripture to describe the reproductive parts of both men and women.
We are saying that the force of Behemoth=3D
The belly refers to either the womb=
in
a woman, or the testes in a man. The firm parts of the belly=
are
the actual sperm or the actual egg.
We are saying that Behemoth=3D
God said to Behemoth, Go forth and mult=
iply on
the earth. He has everything that he needs to multiply. He has gre=
at
and strong reproductive power, because his firstborn has not yet come fort=
h. He
is just ready to go. His reproductive strength is filled up, ready to flow
over.
I will read it in the King James Version, and=
give
you an Alternate Translation.
Job 40:16, Lo, now his strength is in his =
loins,
and his force is in the navel of his belly. KJV
Job 40:16, Alternate Translation, =
Lo, his strength is in his ability to reprodu=
ce, and
his first born is already in his sperm, the male element of his reproducti=
ve
part.
It is already there, God placed it there. It =
is all
set to go.
Job 40:17, He moveth his tail like a cedar=
, the
sinews of his stones are wrapped together. KJV
We will take this a phrase at a time. <= o:p>
Job 40:17 (first half) He moveth his tail like a cedar.
Here we go again. This is the only time that =
this
Hebrew word is translated moveth. The word moveth app=
ears
many times in the Scripture, but this is the only time that it is a transl=
ation
of this particular Hebrew word, which really means to desire, to lov=
e.
This is wild, but you can check it out for yourself if you like.
Strong's #2654 is translated moveth, but it really means to desire, to love.=
Genesis
34:19, And the young man deferred not to do this thing because h=
e had
delight in Jacob's daughter. KJV
That word delight is a translat=
ion of
the Hebrew word translated moveth, meaning to lov=
e.
The Hebrew word translated tail
(Strong=3D
Webster's says that in its verb tense, it can mean to follow after.
Webster's also says that this word means extremity,
such as the farthest or most remote part of something, usual=
ly, a
limb of the body especially a hand or a foot.
We know that there are two bodies in the eart=
h, the
body of fallen adam and the body of Christ. We also know that God refers t=
o His
five‑fold ministry as His hand. The hand of God is the
group of people that the Lord Jesus Christ is manifesting through to minis=
ter
and bring mercy and relief to His people.
The foot of God (which may not be as commonly
known), is the foot company of the Living God, that group of people through
which God appears in the earth. God=3Ds hand and feet are the same people, His end =
time
company, that God is both appearingin and ministering through.
The earth is the realm of appearance. When God wants to appear, He appe=
ars in
men, and He is, thus, standing on the earth. When he appears in you, He is
standing on the earth. Hallelujah. Glory to God.
We have an extremity here that can mean eithe=
r a
hand or a foot.
The word translated cedar means=
the cedar
tree, which is known for its firm roots. It is sweet smelling,
beautiful wood, which has no knots in it, and is not liable to decay.
Cedar is incorruptible, and, therefore, has b=
een
used, traditionally, for building the temple, and the royal tower. Cedar w=
ood
does not corrupt. It is a royal wood.
I have an Alternate Translation for you of th=
e first
half of Verse 17:
Job 40:17 (first
half), He moveth his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his stone are
wrapped together. KJV
Job 40:17 (first half), Alternate Translation, He desireth =
his
hand and his foot company, that part of him which is in the realm of
appearance, and he desires that they should be like cedar trees.
This Scripture is talking about fallen adam, =
not
Christ. Fallen adam is to be firm, incorruptible, and joined to the spirit=
ual
temple that God desires to build in place of the physical building called =
the
temple of God. The true temple of God is the body of fallen adam. =
We know that our body is the Temple of the Ho=
ly
Ghost, but if you do not have the Holy Ghost, whose temple is it? Satan=3D
I am going to read it again. He desiret=
h his
hand and his foot company, the part of him that is in the realm of appeara=
nce,
he desires that they be like cedar trees. That is, incorruptible. =
You know
fallen adam is trying to imitate God, and that he desires that mankind sho=
uld
be like cedar trees, a firm and incorruptible temple that Behemoth desires=
to
build for himself.
Job 40:1 (second
half), The sinews of his stones are wrapped together. KJV
The Hebrew word translated sinews
means a thread. It is from a root that means to press =
or
urge on, to invade. =
I am suggesting to you that, in view of the w=
ay this
study is going, in view of the fact that we are talking about the reproduc=
tive
ability of the corporate fallen adam, that this word sinew, =
which
really means thread, is referring to Behemoth=3D
=
Did
anybody here ever see a picture of our genetic material? Do you know that =
it is
called DNA and RNA? Do you k=
now anything
about that at all?
What we pass on to our children that makes th=
em look
like us is called genetic information. It is passed on throu=
gh
the chromosomes, which contain the DNA and RNA.
The genetic information, the DNA and the RNA =
that we
pass on to our children through the chromosomes, has its spiritual coun&sh=
y;terpart.
There is spiritual DNA and spiritual RNA. I suggest to you that when the
Scripture talks about sinews, translated threads,<=
/b>
it is talking about chromosomes. God has given me a word of knowledge about
this. You pray about it.
Pictures of DNA and RNA show that they consis=
ts of
threads. That is what they are, threads of genetic material. I saw a movie
about chromosomes. They are threads of genetic material wrapped around each
another. They cleave to one another, and braid around each another.
The sinews are the genetic info=
rmation
that God has placed inside of the corporate fallen adam, or Behemoth, to
produce all of us, because we are, basically, all the same. We all have two
eyes, one nose, and a mouth. Lord willing, we also have two arms and two l=
egs.
We all have a heart in the same place, and lungs in the same place. We all=
have
the same basic genetic information.
God is saying that this spiritual, genetic
information was in Behemoth, in the corporate fallen adam, ready to be imp=
arted
to each and every one of us, when the Lord said, Go.
The Hebrew word translated stone,
means testicles. Again (this is the third time we are running
into this), stone is a very common word in the Scriptur=
es,
but this is the only time that the word stone is a translati=
on of
the Strong=3Ds #6344.
Every other time that the word stone appears
in the Scripture, it is the translation of another Hebrew word. The=
Hebrew
word that is translated stone only once, Strong=3Ds #6344,
means testicles. This is very interesting because the Hebrew=
word
that means testicle, is from a root word, Strong=3Ds #6343, which means t=
o fear
and to cause terror.
Throughout the Scripture, male virility symbo=
lizes
great strength and power. A lot of people do not understand this, and they
think it is chauvinism, but God is hitting home some spiritual truths.
I am suggesting to you is that the root word =
that
means fear and to cause terror is a euphemism. Testicl=
es,
means to have spiritual strength. The male organ is a c=
ause
of fear and terror to your enemies. Testicles means strength=
and
power in warfare. God saying that Behemoth has a testicle, means that he i=
s male,
fearsome, and a definite threat to anybody who is in his way. God is saying
that Behemoth is a fearsome male. Hallelujah.
We are dealing with the phrase, the sin=
ews of
his stones are wrapped together.
The Hebrew word translated wrap=
means to
entwine, to wrap together, to braid, to be woven or to sew together.
The word together is from a root that means to be=
come
one, and merely means a unit.
Job 40:17 (second
half), The sinews of his stones are wrapped together. KJV
Job 40:17 (second half), Alternate Translation,
We were all in the genetic information in the=
loins
of Behemoth before the lump was separated.
Just as in the beginning the Living Soul was =
one
lump consisting of the earth and the Son, and then God separated the =
lump
into the human spirit, the human soul, and Satan, the unconscious part of =
the
Carnal Mind, all of Behemoth=3Ds genetic material was one lump.
Job 40:17 (second half), Alternate Translation, The genetic inform=
ation
in Behemoth's testicles, which are actually in the sperm, is woven togethe=
r as
one unit.
It had not been separated out yet, but everyt=
hing
was there ready to multiply across the face of the earth.
Job 40:18, His bones are as strong pieces =
of
brass, his bones are like bars of iron. KJV
The word bones, which appears t=
wice in
the above verse, is a translation two different Hebrew words. We will exam=
ine
each occurrence of the word.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass. This is
Strong=3Ds #6106.
His bones are like bars of iron. This is Strong
The Hebrew word translated bones (Strong=3Ds #6106
) in the first half of the verse, His bones are as strong as pieces =
of
brass, is so called from its firmness or its strength. Strangely
enough, this word is translated very frequently in the Scriptures as
It is from a root word which means to b=
ind or
tie up. I have two references for you. Exodus 24:10,
says, as heaven itself, which is a translation of the same w=
ord
that is translated bones.
Job 21:23 says, And in =
his
uprightness, itself, which is a translation of the same Hebrew word
translated bones. God uses the translation itself<=
/b>
in the Alternate Translation of the Scripture at hand.
The word strong appears many ti=
mes in
the Scripture, but this is the only time in the Scripture that this Hebrew
word, Strong's #950, is translated strong. It means a tube,=
from the idea of containing, such as a channel, a bed of a stream, or=
the
bottom of the sea, something that it holds or contains something, a valley=
is
watered by a stream. It
is from a root word that means to assemble a people or to collect or
gather them together.
The prophet, Joel, talks about gathering His =
people
together in the Valley of Decision to deal with them.
Deuteronomy 33:5, And he was king in Jeshurun when the head of the people an=
d the
tribes of Israel were gathered together. KJV
Isaiah 24:22, And they shall be gathered together as prisoners are
gathered in the pit. KJV
This is the word translated strong<=
/b>.
These poor King James translators, they just really did not know what to do
with these words.
The Hebrew word translated pieces
means a rag, a piece. It is torn pieces of cloth, and it can=
also
be used as in to tear with words.
We know that our tongues are like swords that=
can do
great damage. I am suggesting to you that this is the correct translation =
in
this context.
Psalm 35:15,
The abjects gather themselves together against me, and I knew it not.
They did tear me and ceased not. KJV
That word tear is the same Hebr=
ew word
translated pieces. I guess it means they tore me to pi=
eces
and they ceased not. Hallelujah.
Brass,
the last word in the phrase, His bones are as strong pieces of brass=
is Strong's #5154, =
which
means copper, brass or steel. Copper is a reddish metal. The
reason that word was chosen is to describe its reddish color. It is from a=
root
that means the throat of the Serpent when he is hissing.
When the Serpent hisses and opens his mouth w=
ide,
and you look down into it, you see that the inside of his throat is red. T=
he
Hebrew language derives the word that means brass from this =
word,
because that is the color of brass.
We also know that brass means <=
b>judgment
in the Scripture , and we know that it is Satan=3D
When God gets ready to judge us, He lets the =
demons
come upon us. The form of the word that is used really means serpent=
ine.
It means serpentine or Serpent like.
Job 40:17 (second
half), The sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 (first
half), And his bones are strong pieces of brass. KJV
Job 40:17 (second half) and 18 (first half), Alternate
Translation, The genetic information in his testicles or his sp=
erm
are woven as one unit around itself, containing, as in a tube, the assem&s=
hy;bled
torn and cursed people of the Serpent, which is the body of fallen adam's
existence.
Consciousness without God is a cursed existen=
ce.
Listen to it again.
Job 40:17 (second half) and 18 (first half), Alternate
Translation, The genetic information in Behemoth's testicles, o=
r [actually]
in his sperm, are woven as one unit around itself, braided, wrapped around
itself, containing as in a tube, the assembled torn and cursed people=
of
the Serpent . . . .
I remind you that the Scripture tells us that=
Levi
paid tithes when he was yet in the loins of Abraham, so we see tha=
t God
acknowledges that unborn life is a spiritual reality. Are you familiar
with that Scripture?
Abraham paid tithes and, therefore, Levi bein=
g in
the genetic material of Abraham, paid tithes. God said Levi paid tithes. G=
od acknowledges

kind
of thing.

Job 40:18 (second
half), His bones are like bars of iron. KJV
This is the second word translated bone=
s,
Strong's #1634. This words bones means as the
skeleton of a body, but even more so, its usage refers to be=
asts
of burden. When this word is used to describe bones, it is referri=
ng to
beasts of burden, cows, camels, the kind of beasts in Genesis 2:19, where this study=
first
started.
The Hebrew word translated bars=
means enlargement,
an open space, and is usually used in a good sense. This is another strange one. If y=
ou want
to check it out, it is Strong's #4800, but I found a lot of =
this
information in Gesenius. It is not all from Strong's.
This word is often used of liberty and =
welfare,
which sounds very much like salvation to me. There is libert=
y in
the Spirit of God. Welfare is the goodness of God. There is no welfare out=
side
of the Spirit of God.
It is from a root that means to be expa=
nded. We
know that when God enlarges us, it is a blessing. When God says, I w=
ill
enlarge you, it is a blessing.
These bars are made of iron, and the Hebrew w=
ord
translated iron simply means iron in the context of cu=
tting,
meaning an iron implement such as an ax head. =
Job 40:18 (second
half), His bones are like bars of iron. KJV
Job 40:18 (second half), Alternate Translation, All of the be=
asts
of burden within him [this is a corporate being], which we are, sha=
ll be
delivered, they shall be enlarged and set in a place as safe as the iron a=
x.
The account of the iron ax in the Scripture i=
s in II
Kings Chapter 6:7. I will read it into this message, for those who are not
familiar with it.
In the Scriptures, Elisha has a school of the
prophets. There was an accident when one of his prophets was chopping down=
a
tree. The ax head fell off of the handle and fell into the water. As we all
know, metal sinks when it falls into water. The man cried out to his teacher,=
and
said, Help! because the ax was borrowed. Apparently, he would
have had to pay for it, but God worked a miracle through the prophet Elish=
a,
and the ax head floated.
II Kings Chapter 6:1‑7. And the sons=
of the
prophet said unto Elisha, behold now the place where we dwell with thee is=
too
straight for us, let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan and take thence ever=
y man
a beam, and let us make us a place there where we may dwell. And he answer=
ed,
Go ye.
And one said, be
content I pray thee, and go with thy servants, and he answered, I will go.=
He
went with him, and when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. But as on=
e was
felling a beam, the ax head fell into the water, and he cried, Alas
master, for it was borrowed. And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he
showed him the place, and he cut down a stick and cast in thither: and the=
iron
did swim. Therefore said he, take it up to thee, and he put out his hand a=
nd
took it. KJV
I would like to remind you that this is the s=
econd time
that Elisha rescued one of his students by adding something. The first tim=
e was
when one of his inexperienced students put a poison gourd in his stew, and=
then
said, Master there is death in the pot.
Elisha did not destroy the pot of stew. He ad=
ded meal
to it, which is a type of Jesus Christ. In this instance, there was a pers=
onal
disaster, and Elisha added a stick, which signifies Jesus Christ, the Bran=
ch.
We do need deliverance, I believe in delivera=
nce,
but we must have Christ added to us. We must receive Christ.
Job 40:18, Alternate Translation, All of the beasts of burden within the
corporate Behemoth shall be delivered, saved, brought under the mercy of G=
od,
as was the iron ax.
=
Christ
shall be added to us, and we shall, indeed, receive the mercy of God.
=
As
we close it out, and as we go home and hopefully pray about this, I would =
like
to remind you that the purpose of this study is to establish that the
beast of the field of Genesis 2:19-20, is the many-membered fallen adamic =
man,
which is destined to appear in the earth.
Gen 2:19, And out of the ground the LORD G=
od
formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and bro=
ught
them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called =
every
living creature, that was the name thereof.
20, And Adam gave names to all cattle=
, and
to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Ad=
am
there was not found an help meet for him. KJV
COMMENT: When you were talking about the war we have to fight against our c=
arnal
nature, I thought of the war of Armageddon. Is there such a thing?=
&=
nbsp; PASTOR
VITALE: I perceive Armag=
eddon
to be the very end of the warfare, because Armageddon cannot occur until t=
he mature
Christ is present. I think, from the second we get the Holy Spirit, we are
fighting our carnal nature, but it is not until Christ emerges in full pow=
er
that He will be able to utterly subdue the land, and the battle of Armaged=
don
is those last moments when fallen adam is utterly put under foot. Halleluj=
ah!
It is all up here (fought in the mind). Is that not exciting?
COMMENT: Why was fallen adam given all this power?

Fallen adam illegally acquired the creative
substance (and its inherent power) that he was formed from, when he depart=
ed
from God in his thoughts.
Today, it is my strong opinion that Jehovah p=
rovided
Adam with all that he needed to obey the Law until the marriage which was =
to
impart to him an internalized defense against sin[1]. &=

PASTOR VITALE NO LONGER TEACHES =
THE CONTENT
OF THE FOLLOWING FOUR PARAGRAPHS
&=
nbsp; PASTOR
VITALE: I believe it was not so much that he was given the power, =
but
that God created a spiritual creation, which was to consist of many member=
s.
God wanted Adam to multiply, and in order for him to multiply, he had to be
lowered into this low spiritual realm, because in the high realms of the
Spirit, there is no change. So God separated himself from Ad=
am,
and a vacuum was created in God=3Ds absence. God did not give Adam power. Adam
acquired power because there was an absence of power.
Vacuums do not exist in nature. It is a physi=
cal law
that when there is a vacuum, something moves into the vacuum. For example,=
if
it were possible to clear away a small circular area where there is little=
or
no water in the midst of an ocean, this created vacuum, would fill up again
immediately.
If I take this cup and place it inside a bowl=
of
water, there is now no water in the space occupied by the cup. The water h=
as
been dispersed to the sides and over and around the cup. The second that I=
lift
up the cup, however, the surrounding water will rush into the space previo=
usly
occupied by the cup.
I am suggesting to you that God removed himse=
lf for
the purpose of multiplying the creation, and because God was absent, =
the
Satanic realms filled in the void. God did not give His permission. Adam=3D

bsp; MESSAGE CONTINUED
God made it very clear to me in my recent stu=
dies
that just as a natural birth is painful (it is more painful for some than
others), spiritual birth is very painful. He reminded me that the natural =
man,
fallen adam, is the Son of God buried in the earth, and that He, God, is s=
till
bringing forth the Son of God in the spiritual earth.
God is everything. He is the male, He is the =
female,
He is the Father, He is the Son, He is the Holy Spirit, and He who was mad=
e into
this natural man (which is spiritually female -- both physical males and
physical females), is giving birth to the spiritual life which is destined=
to
inhabit and rule over the natural man.
God separated a part of himself, lowered Him =
into
the soul realm and made Him into a man. And now God has sent Christ, an&sh=
y;other
part of Himself to fertilize the natural man. God is also the Christ coming
forth in us.
The point that I am trying to hit home is tha=
t the
Son of God that was made into a natural man is a spiritual female, who is =
now
pregnant and about to produce a child --with great pain.[2]
God is in every one of us. He is such a great=
entity
that we cannot comprehend Him. We see only ourselves. The more spiritu=
;ally
advanced we get, the more we see the vision of the whole.
Children are very selfish and relate everythi=
ng they
see and hear to themselves. Natural man is spiritually very childlike. Nev=
ertheless,
we are cells in the body of a superhuman entity[3]
whose Name is the Lord Jesus Christ, and He is having a baby.
God broke Himself into pieces; He made himsel=
f the
woman, He made himself the man. He made himself everything necessary to br=
ing
forth this birth.
My point is that He is in each and every one =
of us.
We are Him and He is us. When we have a bad experience, when we have pain,=
when
we hurt, when we fall, when we weep, He is part of it. The Scripture says,=
He
is touched with our infirmities, but He is not touched from afar. =
He is
us. He knows what it is like to have a heart attack, because Joe Blow down=
the
block had a heart attack, and Joe Blow is a part of Christ Jesus .
Christ Jesus knows what it is like to be divo=
rced,
because He is the woman who got divorced, and He felt everything that she =
felt.
He is her, she is Him. We are Him, and He is us. Glory to God. Hallel=
ujah.
He is the whole ball of wax. There is no Life outside of him.
He wants to appear, he wants to be seen, yet,=
the
Scripture tells us, Eye hath not seen and ear hath not heard what Go=
d has
in store for us, once he appears. I cannot wait to find out. Glory=
to
God. Hallelujah.
