The Mystery Of Behind Adam & Eve (Christ and The Church)

Greetings Christian Family,

When we read the Old Testament in the Bible, we have to understand that now that Jesus Christ has been revealed, now we can read the Old Testament with the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh, so you have to understand that the entire Old Testament is about Jesus. We cannot read the Old Testament like the Pharisees who were able to understand the meaning behind the letter, but were unable to understand the spirit behind the letter.

Let me explain: Jesus told the Pharisees

John 5:46
For if you believed in Moses, you would also believe in Me, because he wrote about Me.

Jesus told the Pharisees that “Moses wrote about Me…” But where? Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible, but Jesus is not mentioned in the first 5 books of the Bible. But what if I told you that Moses wrote about Jesus, because every story in the Old Testament is a metaphor about Jesus? When the Pharisees read the Old Testament, they thought they were reading about Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, etc. but they didn’t know that they were actually reading about Jesus. That’s why they couldn’t receive Jesus when He came because they were unable to see Jesus inside the Old Testament the entire time. They didn’t have spiritual eyes or understanding, they only had physical eyes and a fleshly understanding.

Let’s look at an example:

Let me reveal Jesus Christ to you in the story of Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve is the story of Jesus Christ and his church. The Bible says the church is the bride of Jesus. With that information let me ask… Who is guilty of sin? Jesus or the Church? And Who committed the first sin, Adam or Eve? It was Adam’s bride (Eve/church) who sinned. And Adam then took responsibility for Eve’s sin by also eating the forbidden fruit. The Bible teaches a man should love his wife as Jesus loved his church.

See below:

1 Timothy 2:13-14 – “For Adam was created first, then Eve. Moreover, it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into sin.”

Adam was created without sin. Adam did not know any sin until his bride sinned and he bore her sin. Does this sound familiar?

Take a look:

2 Corinthians 5:21 – “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Remember the church is the “bride of Christ” and Jesus took away our sins because we have all sinned and eaten the apple of this world. So Jesus came down and took away our sins so we could be saved. There is much more that needs to be explained, but this story is also a metaphor for Jesus taking on the bride’s sins.

Adam and Eve

Finally:

When Adam and Eve sinned, they hid themselves and covered them with fig leaves (remember Jesus cursed the fig tree), they covered their shame with leaves, and what did God do before He took them out of the Garden? He made clothes for them from animal skins.

Genesis 3:21
And the LORD GOD made clothes of animal skins for the man and for his wife, and put them on them.

The animal skins represented the sacrificial lamb that would be necessary to cover their sins. It is a metaphor for clothing them with Christ.

GOD did not throw them out of the garden to punish them. In the Garden there was a “Tree of Life” therefore if Adam and Eve ate from the tree of life after they sinned, they would be trapped living in their sin forever. Because the tree will give them eternal life in the sins they live in. So they will be separated forever from GOD. GOD took them out of the garden to save them.

So that through the Lamb (Jesus) GOD makes them clothes of skin and the whole world will be saved. This reveals the entire story of Adam and Eve is about Jesus (Adam) and the Bride/Church (Eve) That’s how we read the Old Testament as born-again Christians with the knowledge of Christ’s revelation So we must read the Old Testament through the lens of Jesus’ revelation and do not read it in a worldly way like the Pharisees who did not understand the mysteries of the holy scriptures.

The story of Adam and Eve is about Jesus. The story of Cain and Abel is about Jesus. Job’s story is about Jesus. Joesph’s story is about Jesus. The story of King Solomon is about Jesus. Every story in the Old Testament is a metaphor about Jesus. Most people in the Old Testament did not know this because Jesus had not yet come, but now that He has come, let us also learn to unravel this mystery and reveal Jesus Christ in the Old Testament.

GOD bless you all who are in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You Are Worth More Than Many Sparrows…

Good Afternoon Family,

I want to tell a recent story from my life that I hope will be able to encourage someone:

A little over a year ago I ran into some financial difficulties and I began to worry about my finances for the future. I was disappointed with my situation because previously I was very successful financially, but I had walked away from my old career because I was called to leave it all behind to follow Jesus and focus on God’s will for my life.

When I walked away from my old life I did it with full faith. I believed that GOD would take care of all my needs, because I was obeying what GOD was telling me to do. Things were going really well at first; I still had a good amount of money saved up, and I was able to live off my savings and maintain a similar lifestyle to the one I had previously. I had no worries and my focus was only on God.

Eventually, my savings began to dry up, but I still wasn’t worried because I just believed in my heart that at any moment God will going to make a Million Dollars magically appear in my house because after all God told me to leave my old life.

I waited and waited for the million dollars to magically appear out of thin air, but the million dollars never came. And I eventually began to wonder if I had made the right decision. I thought “Did God really tell me to leave my old career?” I also thought “Maybe I was just being overly zealous and acted impulsively. Surely if God told me to leave my old life he would have provided a big opportunity for me by now right?” “Doesn’t the Bible say God will provide? I believed this word, so what is wrong in my life?”

I had all these thoughts and I experienced many different emotions, and eventually, I didn’t know what to think anymore. It seemed like my prayers were all being met with silence. Eventually, I got on the phone with my Dad and he also didn’t understand what I was going through. My dad who is a man of God also, was proud to see me choose to follow Jesus, and he also was surprised about my circumstances. So we decided to pray together over the phone that God would bring an end to my worries and tell me what was going wrong in my situation. After this prayer, I was confident that I would get an answer to my prayer.

The next day I woke up in the mood to fire up my grill and make some sausages and burgers. Prior to this, I had not touched my grill in many months but this day I was in the mood to use the grill for some strange reason. I had everything to use the grill ready, but I couldn’t find the sandals that are used on the back patio. I began to look for them and I remembered that the sandals were upstairs in the living room behind the big bean bag chair. So I went upstairs into the living room and lifted up the bean bag chair and underneath the bean bag chair was a dead sparrow.

When I saw the sparrow I stopped, I was in shock because it seemed impossible for a sparrow to fly into my house, up the stairs, and into the living room to die behind a chair without me noticing it. And that’s when this Bible Verse entered my mind:

Mathew 10:29-31
“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”

Could it all be a coincidence? A person might think. But that’s impossible if we believe God’s word because God’s word says not a sparrow falls to the ground apart from the will of God. So this sparrow that fell and died in my house was part of God’s will and plan. This was God’s answer to my prayer. Not only did God answer me with the Bible, but he also answered me with a physical dead sparrow in my home. The bible verse came to life right before my eyes.

From that moment on all my worries were gone. Things have not been perfect, but God has taken care of every need that I have. All the things I was worried about losing, I have been able to keep those things. God has been faithful to me and my needs have been met with his provision.  In closing: I make this post to say, put your faith and trust in God. The way God provides may not always look the way you expect it to, but God is faithful and his Word is true. If God says not to worry because he will provide, he will do what he says he would. God is not a man that he should lie(Numbers 23:19).

Mathew 6:26
“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”

Thank you for reading.

God bless you all who are in Christ Jesus.

The Devil Can Bless You Too

The Devil Can Bless You Too:

Yesterday I was having a conversation with a man who was telling me that he prays with rosary beads because the rosary beads have produced good results for him. He told me that several times in his life while in desperate situations his rosary prayer had rescued him from his situation. However, Ironically enough, he never considered the possibility that those rosary bead prayers were what was getting him in those desperation situations in the first place. Why did he always find himself in a desperate situation in which he needed to use the rosary beads to escape? That’s the bigger spiritual issue that was left unaddressed. Isn’t that something A devil would do? Wouldn’t the devil get you into a bad situation, and then help you escape the situation that the devil put you in? All so you can credit the tool of the devil for your rescue and forget he was the one who made you need rescuing.

Here is the thing:

If the devil’s methods didn’t produce results the devil would the devil have a single follower? Therefore yes, Rosary beads can produce results, witchcraft produces results, black magic produces results, meditation produces results, visualizing your future produces results, chanting produces results, praying 5 times a day to allah produces results and so forth. These all produce results because if they didn’t produce any results NO ONE would do it and keep on doing it. People do these things BECAUSE it produces results, however, are those the results the will of God or the will of your own self? When you face The Lord on judgment day and have to give an account for your life who will you say you served? The True God or yourself or other gods? What does Jesus say?

Mark 8:36
“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”

You can gain the whole world using the devil’s methods and you can get ALL the results your heart desires, but at the end of your life will those be results that pleased GOD or results that didn’t please GOD?

I was once a young man who didn’t have money or success, but after reading a few books about how to manifest my own reality and visualization techniques I began to practice these things. After a short time, I had climbed up the ranks and had more success than I ever expected to have. I was grateful and happy and I thanked God every single day for all the success I believed that God was granting me. I told everyone “All glory be to God for blessing me with this success” but was it really God blessing me? How could it be God blessing me when I was living in sin and the Bible says that any person who continues in sin has never seen God and does not know God?

1 John 3:6
“Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.”

I prayed to God every day, but did I know God? In my own brain, I thought I had a relationship with God, but the Bible says I did not, because I was in sin and sin separates us from God. So how could be blessed by GOD if according to the Bible God did not know me? The reality is my relationship with God was an illusion because I was living a sinful lifestyle, and my success was not coming from God but was coming from the Devil. Have you ever seen celebrities at award shows who make music and movies about all the things that GOD hates thanking God for their awards? Are their awards from GOD or the devil? Their rewards are from the devil because GOD would not reward their sin, however, just like me, many of them believe it is God who is blessing them. When the devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness this is what he said to him:

Lukas 4:5-7
“Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

The Devil told Jesus “All the kingdoms of the world, all the wealth, and all the power and the splendor of this world are mine and I give it to the person I want to give them to.”

Do you know the Bible calls Satan “The god of this World”(2 Corinthians 4:4)? Do you know that Satan rewards the people who worship him in this life? He gives them wealth, power, and status so that he can use them to lead more people astray. Do you know the number one way people worship Satan? Not by singing him songs, but by living a lifestyle that is pleasing to him. The majority of the people who worship satan have no idea, they think they’re worshiping God. But you can not worship God if you are living a lifestyle of sin.

In Closing: The Bible says there are many “gods” and many lords”.

1 Corinthians 8:5-6
“For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.”

There are Fallen Angels, Evil Spirits, and other Powers and Principalities that exist in the spirit realm and can listen to the prayers of those on the earth who pray to false gods and reward them accordingly. Don’t think because a rosary prayer produced a result that this result was from God. Witchcraft produces results every day and witches know their result is not from God. It’s no different from every other religion in the world that tries to get to GOD without going through Jesus Christ. If the devil didn’t give people results people would stop following him. The devil can bless you too.

If you’ve done these things please repent. Don’t mistake getting results, for your resulting being “The Will of God”. And if God does bless you, don’t mistake God’s kindness, to think God has accepted a sinful lifestyle. The Bible says God shows mercy to both good and evil people (Luke 6:35).

God bless you all who are in Christ Jesus
