Death is an enemy part 2
The traditions of men have always and still do make God’s word of no effect.
It is always placed in a historical or future setting. These are not things you can touch.
The past is dead and the future unknown. Only place is NOW!
The appearing of Christ The judgments of God.
The restoration of all things and the Kingdom Age has all been locked away in a place called Heaven. Rather the true substance can be the possession of every human being,through the word of God.
Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Duet. 30 11-16 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou guest to possess it.
But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passes over Jordan to go to possess it.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before your life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
We go all the way back to the beginning the promise’s was always there. What land is the Lord speaking of, it is the land where He dwells, it is the land that is the mind of Christ, which, Jesus possessed. It is the land that we were commanded to possess. Let this mind of Christ be in you, as it was in Jesus. It is our inheritance. We must know Him in spirit and in truth. It is the only way,
For He is the way, the truth and the life.
Phil.2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
1Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
It’s all about change
A change of order must take place.
Instead of degeneration, sadness, sorrow, weakness, illness, disease, mortality and death.
This is a message of re-generation of gladness, joy, strength, health, immortality and eternal life.
1Cor.15:50 Our first birth, our natural life, soulish life does not posse the substance of God’s Kingdom. Flesh and Blood as we know it does not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Ever since the day of Adam’s transgression, death entered in to creation and the way of life has been blocked to the natural mind. A flaming sword was put at the entrance of the garden, to keep it.
Gen.3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
What is this flaming sword, the sword is the word of God. The flame, is the fire, the purging of the Lord,
2.
The firey trials, that burn out everything that is not God. Only way back to the Garden within you is by the cleansing by the Holy Spirit, through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Knowing you are free from the Law of Sin and Death through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Corruption is the state of death itself. The body ( the living soul IS DECAYING BACK TO DUST)
In Adam we all die.
1Cor.2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1Cor. 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Corruption is the state of death itself.
The body is decaying back to dust. In Adam we all die, Death robs us of the gift of life. But, it also denies the Lord of creation, His manifestation in the earth.
To all that are willing to believe, since by man came death, so by man came the resurrection of the dead. It is written, we shall not all sleep (die)
1Cor. 15:26 it is written the last enemy destroyed is death.
3.
We shall not all die, we shall be changed. This is the high calling in Christ Jesus.
The timing of the Lord.
Matt 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
We are living at the end of sixth day and the dawning of the seventh Day, the Day , God rested This is the day of the Lord.
11 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
This transfiguration (meta/morphoo) to change or transfer from. We are beginning to climb this Mountain of transfiguration. This is a journey of change, escaping our captivity and our death. Being redeemed from our hell.
Coming into a high consciousness. Being apart from man’s traditions of religions.

11Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even
Changed (meta-morphoo)
Rom.12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Transformed, (metamorphoo) by the renewing of your mind.
Full manifestation of this is for our body as well.
Phil.3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Rom 5:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
11Cor. 5:4-5 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
This seventh day represents the Sabbath Day, the day of the Lord.
Gen. 2:3 God rested on the seventh Day.
This place of rest is metamorphosis
Heb. 4:9-11 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Why did God cease from His own works? Because of the seventh Day. He had another one in his image that could express His LIFE for Him and He ceased from His own works. Those who enter in this rest shall cease from their works (own self-righteousness) Because the Christ has been raised up in our consciousness And He reigns in US.
