Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
Your spiritman has eyes and hear.
Philippians 3:9-10
and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
Ephesians 1:21
far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Genesis 2:7 KJV
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
God loves man the most. God took a portion of Him and created Adam.
Genesis 2:16-17
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Genesis 2:17 YLT
and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost die.’
The day Adam sinned, his spiritman died.
Your entire being is your real being.
We are tripartite being. Spirit Soul and Body.
Jesus is coming back. When He comes again, He will transform our lowly body into His glorious body!
Luke 21:28
Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Walk in the wholeness and resurrection life of Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:15
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
Rapture generation remain alive.
This body will go. Either to the dust of the ground or rapture.
1 Thessalonians 4:15
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
Living being
Life-giving spirit
1 Corinthians 15:46-49
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.
We are no more man of dust. We are heavenly.
Sin brought forth these 2 streams. Blood and tears.
1 Corinthians 15:50-51
Our Final Victory
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—
We shall not all sleep. We shall all be changed!
By grace through faith and not of our work we are saved.
God will resurrect that dust with the new body.
Sin is what bring forth death.
Hebrews 2:15
and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Hebrews 10:25
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
1st coming of Jesus, God revealed to the shepherds.
We can see and sense the day approaching.
We are not in darkness. We are children of light.
Our body will put on a glorified body
From now to then, the rapture. Is there a way we can walk in victory?
Your spirit is alive because of righteousness
Putting your mind on the spirit. Not on the flesh. Don’t be sin conscious. Be righteousness conscious
The key is righteousness
Be righteousness and resurrection life conscious not sickness conscious
Deeper root – To remove the base of sin that spring off.
Hebrews 10:2
Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?
1 Corinthians 15:56
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Romans 7:6-9
But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
Sin’s Advantage in the Law
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Aphormé (opportunity)
Starting point used to denote a based of operations in war.
The law provided sin with a base of operations of its attack against the soul.
Sin taking the law as a base of operation
A base of operations is where the attack is launched from.
Without the law, sin is dead. It does not raise up.
Israel when they came out of Egypt, they came out with gold and silver. They never had evil desire in their hearts to build statue to worship. They murmured when there was no food.
From Egypt to Sinai, it was not based on how faithful they are, but on how faithful God is.
No one died from Egypt to Sinai.
Did they sin? Yes. Every murmuring brought forth a fresh provision of God’s grace.
God travelled with them in a pillar of cloud and fire. The people said all that God commands us, we can do it. This is pride.
It is saying bless us because we are good.
The strength of sin is the law.
Romans 7:4
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.
We are delivered from the law.
The law is holy and righteous.
Romans 7:6-9
But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
Sin’s Advantage in the Law
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Move your pulpit from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion
2 Corinthians 3:6-9
who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Glory of the New Covenant
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
The ministry of death and condemnation
Are you still bad tempered? Many a time you are short with people. Somewhere along the way you have let the law come in.
Jesus Christ is my righteousness
Once righteousness is there in your spirit it will manifest in the days to come.
All the sacrifices in the Old Testament was to escape death.
From Adam to Moses, man had that sacrifice.
There was sin there was death.
During this period, there was no law. Until the law, man lived long life.
Extending life to believers.
Some believers died before their time, it is not because it is their gene.
The people lived long before law, they were not sin conscious.
Love one another as i have loved you.
Do you clean yourself before you take a bath?
James 2:10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Opposite of law is faith
The righteous one by faith will live.
Are you condemning yourself? You are bringing death to yourself.
Are you condemning others? You are bringing death to them.
The law was designed to cut short the people who are wicked.
Don’t come under law.
Be Christ conscious
Transformed by beholding the glory of the Lord.
Condemnation kills. Many sickness is caused by stress.
There is a deeper root than stress. It is condemnation.
The moment he partook the forbidden fruit, death came in.
The first question in the Old Testament
Where are you?
The first answer in the New Testament
Where is He born of the Jews?
The deeper problem of sin cannot be handled by science
Sin does not operate without the base of operation
We need to keep on hearing the message of faith.
