Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of it. John 8:42-44.
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
Why were the burnt offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering all blood sacrifices? Why was it so important that the blood be poured on the Altar and sprinkled on the Mercy Seat? Why did the High Priest have to take the blood into the Holy of Holies and sprinkle it on the propitiatory (the Mercy Seat) for sins to be covered? Why is there no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood? And, in particular, the blood of the one true spotless unblemished Lamb?
There is much here that you need to go back to the beginning to understand. But if you do not, you will never comprehend the importance of the Blood of Jesus and why it overcomes the devil, the accuser of the brethren, the serpent of old, along with the Word of your testimony.
First, I want to share with you a truth that scientist have found true in the physical in fighting disease and other reasons but which I told you from the beginning: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.” Leviticus 17:11.
The Law was a life for a life. If you murdered another human being you were then required to give your life to satisfy justice. The avenger of the deceased was free to slay you. Now look back to Adam. He, by submitting to and giving his obedience to the devil as his master, lost eternal life for himself and all his descendants. His seed became perishable and corrupt and all born of him or his descendants were subject to death through the one man who is the ancestor of you all. The male determines the blood in his seed, not the female. So man no longer had an eternal life to give for the eternal life he lost and justice could not be satisfied. You owed Me a debt and it cost you eternal life. To dust you shall return. That was all that could be until the debt was paid, an eternal life for an eternal life. And the life is in the blood, but it had to be pure blood that the life in it was again eternal life.
And since the time of Adam’s rebellion and rejection of Me to come under the dominion of the devil as his father and lord, no one had an eternal life to give.
But Jesus did. He was not born of Adam’s bloodline. He took flesh in Mary’s womb but the blood is not from the mother, it is from the father’s seed. And Jesus was born of the imperishable seed of My Word that first planted in Mary’s heart and then her womb to manifest as My Son by the power of the Holy Spirit hovering over her as He did over creation at the beginning to bring My Word into manifestation by My power. Eternal life is in My Son. 1 John 5:11.
Jesus was not subject to death in His human body. He could have lived forever in that state as Adam could have if he had not transferred to the kingdom of death. But Jesus freely chose to lay down His human flesh for you and die according to the flesh. He told you that, “The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.” John 10:17-18. And He told Pilate he had no power to kill Him unless He laid down His life. John 19:10-11. And My Son chose to lay it down and taste death, and go to the dust of death, to pay Me back the eternal life you lost. And the life is in the blood, in His pure blood was the eternal life you lost and owed Me for. He took your debt and nailed it to the cross and made peace through the blood of His cross and paid all your debt in full. He gave eternal life for eternal life and regained you that life for all those who are born again into His bloodline.
And I raised Him from the dust of death and gave Him a new and glorified Body, better than being forever in the flesh, though His flesh, as Adam’s was made originally, would have stayed young and strong with no aging. But the spiritual body moves with the speed of Light and traverses through solids with no stoppage. A glorious, strong, noble body of divine beauty and light. When I restore it is better than it was before. Without the fall, Adam would never have had a glorified body and would not have owned heaven and earth, but only earth, for at that time I had given to the children of men only dominion in the earth. The highest Heaven was Mine. But now as joint heirs with Christ it is also yours.
But it is His blood that paid your debt. Once for all. But you must receive Him to have this. Let Me show you why.
Jesus came born of a woman but he had no father from Adam’s line. I was His Father, for He was born of the imperishable seed of My Word that planted in Mary’s heart first and then her womb to bring forth the Word made flesh to dwell among you. And His blood was the pure blood of the Word, as Adam’s was when first created, but now Jesus took the place that Adam lost as My only begotten Son. That is why Jesus is sometimes referred to as the second and last Adam. All of the people in the world were under the evil one because of their birth from the perishable seed from Adam. 1 John 5:19. Do not be surprised, Jesus told you this. He explained to the Pharisees, who thought themselves the purest and holiest of men, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:42-44.
Now listen carefully to understand why My Son says you must be born again from above to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
All who are born in Adam’s line are under his inheritance. And what happened with Adam? When I created him I was his Father, Luke 3:38, but he was adopted by the devil when Adam gave his life to the evil one and rejected his birthright in Me. And, using an example from the human law, when someone is adopted legally everything for that person changes even though they look no different outwardly. They receive a new name, a new family, a new social security number, a new inheritance, access to a new home and all it contains, support and encouragement from a new family, and their birth certificate is amended to show that the adoptive parent is now the adopted child’s legal parent, and on the birth certificate it sets forth the adoptive parent in the same position as the biological parent, there is no hint of discernable difference. The birth certificate does not show the old but only the new. The adopted child is “born again,” so to speak, to a new bloodline and a new inheritance.
When you are born physically, the name of your father on your spiritual birth certificate is actually the devil. And you are headed for his inheritance which is hell. It was prepared for the devil and his angels before the foundation of the world and you are in that line because of one man’s act of disobedience whereby death came to all men, for though him you all became sinners. You often call it original sin in which you are born.
But the good news is that you can get adopted back to your true Father who made you by being born again as a new creation in Christ Jesus by receiving Him as your Lord. Then I can translate you from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of My Beloved Son. For as many as receive Him, to them He gives the right to become My children, even to those who believe in His name, who are begotten, not of bloods nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of Me. John 1:12-13.
Jesus explained this to Nicodemus but he did not understand at that time, later he would understand, “Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” John 3:3-6. Just as the Spirit hovered over Mary, so the Spirit regenerates you by the Word. Have you never read, “But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:4-7.
And when you are born again, you get a new Father’s Name on your spiritual birth certificate. Mine. You are adopted back into the bloodline of eternal life. That is why Paul wrote: “For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.” Ephesians 3:14. One whole entire family made of all who have received Jesus as Lord. All adopted. And Jesus is now the first born of MANY brethren.
I think you will understand these Scriptures better now: “For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15. “But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under law, so that He might redeem those who were under law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Galatians 4:4-6. “Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He ordained us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:4-6.
Many people today are saying Jesus is not the only way to Me. That you can take another path to God. But that is not true. You will still have another father’s name on your birth certificate and your name will not be in vital records of the Lamb’s Book of Life. Your inheritance will be with your father forever.
Now do you see why My Son explained to Nicodemus that you must be born again from above to enter My Kingdom? You must be a citizen by birth to abide there. Even to access it now. Jesus told Nicodemus you cannot even see it without being born again.
But I have more good news for you. You can access your inheritance with Me now. For Jesus told you this about the Holy Spirit whom He told you He would send you another Advocate from My Throne when He returned there in glory and “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will announce (anaggelló: to bring back word, announce, from “aná,” which means “up, completing a process” and “aggellō,” which means “declare,” properly, tell all the way up, i.e., clearly – declaring a thought (communication) that shows it has cleared (gone through) its necessary stages.). All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose (anaggelló) it to you.” John 16:14-15. Do you see? Jesus made you the beneficiary of everything that He has and He died the death in the flesh. He lives now in His glorified Body filled as God joined with Man but according to the existence in the flesh, He died. Now on the death of the testator, the Will becomes irrevocable and is admitted to probate and the attorney (advocate) will notify the heirs of their inheritance, which they can then receive or disclaim. Are you seeing what I am showing you in the Spirit? The Holy Spirit is your advocate and He reveals the things to you that I have freely given you who are heirs. Now ponder this in a new light, the light of an heir:
“Just as it is written, ‘Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.’ For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. 1 Corinthians 2:9-13.
Be sure to claim your inheritance. You have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly storehouse in Christ Jesus.
I love you. Do you understand this scripture better now? “Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith.” Hebrews 10:19-22. The Blood and the Flesh. The Eternal Life was in the Blood and He had to die in the flesh to give it to you and pay the debt to divine justice required by My law for the eternal life you lost. Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the death of the Lord Jesus until He comes again. He died to give you the eternal life you killed. Paid in full. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, I did: sending My own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, I condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law (a life for a life) might be fulfilled in you, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4. Do you understand now why the Blood of Jesus is so important to you?
“I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:51.
