THE TWO MOST INFLUENTIAL MEN IN HISTORY
If you said Adam and Jesus, you are absolutely right.
The axis of human history pivots on both of these men. Both of them were given a covenant with a command and a promise.
In Genesis 1:26 and 27, God said, let us make man in our image and give them rulership authority over the creation.
IN LUKE 418, JESUS SAID THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.
The entire world was subject to sin when Adam committed high treason against God and was driven from the garden. The virus of sin affected every human because they were affected by the virus of disobedience.
The reason Jesus is referred to as the second Adam is because he was sent to, first of all, fulfill what Adam did not finish. When Jesus was on the cross and said, "It is finished ." it was his final statement before he gave his spirit to the Father. The finished thing was Adam's covenant, fulfilled by the second Adam, Jesus Christ.
In the book of Romans, the fifth chapter tells us that one man, Adam, brought death, and one man, Jesus Christ, brought life forever more. Adam was disobedient, and death followed. Jesus was obedient and brought life back to the human race.
Just as sure as sin came upon all men because of Adams's fall.
Righteousness came upon all men because of the obedience of Jesus, which brought us eternal life.

WHY DO WE PARTAKE OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS?
For those of us who have been longtime members of the community of faith, we understand the terms, the Lord's table, and communion. This practice has continued as long as the church has been functioning since the ascension of Jesus Christ. On the final night Jesus was with his disciples, he ate bread with them and commissioned them to eat his body and drink his blood.
It's no wonder that in the areas where Christianity functions, they called them cannibals, assuming they were drinking blood and eating human flesh.
I have participated in the communion ceremony hundreds of times over my life, yet each time I open up my spirit to this subject, I hear and receive more revelation.
Take some time to read again John six, starting with the 51st verse.
Then add to your reading First Corinthians 11, 23, to the end of the chapter.
I am convinced that if you do, the spirit of revelation will open up some incredible new insight into what Jesus meant when he said, unless you eat of my body and drink my blood, you have no part of me.
The emphasis in John Six that Jesus shares with his disciples is that each time they eat food and drink, they should remember and celebrate what Jesus accomplished through his body and blood. The practice of communion that we have once a month or once a week on a Sunday morning has taken away from the meaning of what Christ meant in that last supper.
He was not telling us to set up a traditional communion service for the church. He told us to remember why he died, who he died for, and what it made us into every time we take a bite of food.
That's how continuous our refreshing of our faith should be. This is not a religious ceremony. Jesus gave us a simple tool to keep our faith sharp and before our eyes and hearts at all times.
Each time you take a bite of food, remember the body of Christ and what it did for you. Each time you take a drink, remember the blood of Christ and how powerful it is to redeem you and bring you to your sonship.
That's what real communion is.

JUDGMENT, WRATH, AND SEPARATION HAVE BEEN TAUGHT-YET JESUS REUNITED US AT THE CROSS
Where did the statement come from that reflects the attitude of too many people worldwide? "Hellfire and brimstone." If you were raised in most churches in the last century, you would know exactly where that came from. The picture of God came across the pulpits of our Christian world.
Too many of us got saved because we didn't want to go to hell. Many more of us stayed away from the off-limits that the church had set for us because we didn't want God to cut us out of the family again.
If you think that's extreme, then you're blessed.
Religion of any kind that has been altered by man's idea of who God is puts on a burden that no one can carry for a long. As one raised in the church, I could say that I knew more about sermons on backsliding than sermons on who I was in Christ and overcoming.
However, gradually, God begins to crack open the revelation of his Grace to us. As the generations matured, he revealed himself even more. Unfortunately, you can always depend, no matter what season of the church you may have been raised in, that there would be resistance to the subsequent revelation of truth.
At the turn of the 1900s, the early holiness movement resisted the Pentecostal movement. The Pentecostal movement opposed the latter rain movement. And Both of them resisted the charismatic movement.
When what we call the faith movement broke into our lives. It was like a fresh breath of air, and God gave us another step to see further than we'd ever seen.
Then, here comes the grace movement, and resistance started again. In the Scriptures, faith and Grace seem to be team members in this beautiful kingdom that God has called us to. In all reality, you can't have one without the other.
The only thing that separates us from God is a mind filled with unbelief and doubt. Because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish.

YOU ARE THE GREATEST IDEA GOD EVER HAD
Recently, on one of my ministry trips, I was in a house with corroded water pipes. You could taste it when you took a drink and often see the results in the glass. To solve the problem, we purchased a container with a filter so that when we drank our water, it was pure again.
The Scriptures that are contained in our modern Bibles are referred to as the water of life. Unfortunately, those scriptures have come to us through vessels, i.e., pipelines, that can be contaminated by human reasoning and religion. The result has produced generations of Christians who only see God and the work of the cross through the filter of other men's opinions instead of the spirit of revelation.
The result is that generations of believing Christians have a skewed picture of who they are in Christ and who God is as their Father. The emphasis of sin in the human race has been magnified to a place where its indelibility stained the believer, even after conversion.
Our Western theology repeatedly tells us we are all sinners saved by grace. Out of those old pipelines of reasoning comes the attitude and the misrepresentation of what happened at the cross in the resurrection. When filtered through the complete work that Christ did on the cross for us, we have been made new creatures. All things have been passed away, and all things have become new.
We are not sinners saved by grace that person has died with Christ on the cross.
That person has been buried with Christ in the tomb. That person was risen in the newness of life and now sits in a heavenly place in Christ Jesus.
You are the greatest idea God ever had.
It started in the recesses of eternity past when he declared let us make mankind in our image, and let him have a rule and dominion.
The climax of that desire in God's heart was fulfilled in Christ when he went to the cross, rose from the dead, and ascended to the Father again.
We have been made complete in him. The former conduct of past generations no longer stains us. We have been translated into the kingdom of his dear son.
You are the greatest idea God ever had. Enjoy your new life.

MERCY IS OUR NEW CURRENCY-MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGMENT
I've got a question for you today. Why is it that a majority of the church seems to be so anxious for us to get out of here and go to heaven? When challenges come and bad things happen, outcomes the dusty sermons on the end of the EarthEarth, the coming of the lord, and the rapture.
It's starting to pop up on the Internet again; prominent speakers in the nation are predicting the end of time and the church. They revive all the text proofs that have convinced them that there's no hope for us, so let's leave quickly.
One of the advantages of hanging around for a while, as I have, is to witness this cycle many times in the last several decades. The antichrist has come and gone dozens of times since I was a kid. Yet here we are still, planting seeds and harvesting men and women with the gospel of Christ.
What did David do when he showed up at the battlefield when Goliath had Israel hiding in caves? Did he say all is lost? Let's give up and die. No, he did not. He reminded Goliath who his God was and what he would do with him. Then he ran toward the problem, not away from it.
The two great commands God gave to his creation, men and women, are that they become dominant and forceful, multiply themselves, and reflect heaven on Earth. Genesis One describes the kind of man and woman that God was creating. Mark 16 directs those men and women on how to deal with their future through the power of Christ. Nowhere in those two commands is a provision to run for your life because we have no hope.
Now is the time to speak Mercy into the situation that we are in because Mercy always triumphs over judgment.

THE BIBLE IS NOT THE MEAL IT'S THE MENU
A few days ago, on this program, I talked about looking through my old Bibles and being inspired by the notes I made in the flyleaf. In doing that program, I took a picture of 17 Bibles I've managed to keep from the 65 years I've been active in the ministry. Many of them are worn out, and pages are falling apart—some I set aside for a different translation.
I love the Bible. It is the foundation of our Christian life in our relationship with God. However, somewhere along the journey, I discovered that the Bible was not the meal but the menu. The Bible is a dead book without God's spirit involved as you read and meditate. The Scriptures tell us that the letter kills us, but the spirit makes us alive.
Professors worldwide in various universities and higher learning centers teach the Bible through the eyes of the unconverted. To those professors, it is history or poetry, and most of it isn't very clear to them.
Unfortunately, too many Christians read the Bible in somewhat the same way. When Paul received the revelation of Jesus Christ and who he was to us, he made a bold, interesting statement. First, he said he wanted to avoid going back and interacting with the apostles so they would tell him about the historical Jesus. He was interested in something other than the repetitive pictures of Jesus feeding the 5000 or healing the sick.
He commented that he didn't want to know Jesus after the flesh.
When the gospels tell us about the life and ministry of Jesus, there's something behind that story that is greater than the fact he fed the 5000 and healed the sick. The more significant message is that he completed the desires of the Father by fulfilling the Old Testament covenant and preparing for the New Testament covenant. The acts of his miracles were not just to be studied in themselves, but they pointed as a menu does toward more incredible things.
Those more incredible things for Jesus were his preparation for the cross and the resurrection. Everything we see him do in the New Testament points toward the activity that changed history: his sacrifice for mankind. And his resurrection proves his deity.
I love the Bible, but I look through the page past the ink to the Holy Spirit's message that it gives to me.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PROPHECY?
Questions abound both in the church and outside of the church. What is the purpose of prophecy, some ask? Oddly enough, there seems to be more of an openness to the spiritual world, such as prophecy, than there is in the broad church itself.
For those outside of the church, prophecy has another name; some call it terret cards. Another name would be Ouija board or a séance. All of these have to do with the occult world. However, the underlying attraction to this is a desire to look into the spiritual world and see what's coming down the road.
Have you ever wondered why the human race desires to look into the spiritual? Every tribe and group of people in history has always had something spiritual that they looked into. They do because we have all come out of the bosom of God the Father and desire to return to where we came from: the spiritual world.
When Jesus entered the human race, he came to reveal the Father and to show the world where the human race came from and where they were going. Jesus was a living, walking prophecy. Everywhere he went, and everything he said was the fulfillment of something a prophet in the Old Testament declared about him.
So, one of the purposes of prophecy is to have a revelation of the future and God's destiny and purpose for us.
Biblical prophecy, sanctioned by God himself, is not fortunetelling, nor is it the Ouija board or the séance. The spirits that communicate through those systems do not know the Father.
The prophecy that you and I are involved in as sons and daughters of God is powered by the Holy Spirit and sanctioned by God himself. This is why, according to Ephesians 4 and 11, a prophet is one of the five gifts God gave the church.
Yet he did not regulate prophecy to a single office. He gave it to the body of Christ also. You and I, as believers, have a mandate from God to prophesy. That is to speak forth the purposes of God into your generation, and as you do, you are creating the platform for God to set up his kingdom on and rule and reign therein.

DARKNESS IS NOT A FORCE-IT'S THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT
Do a simple experiment with me. Go into a dark room and find the light switch. Now, Flip the switch and listen closely. Did you hear any resistance, any voices saying I am not leaving this time?
No, you didn't. Because darkness is not a force, it's just the absence of light.
Light has always been the dominant force since God pronounced it with his very voice. He said in Genesis One let light be, and light has been the dominant force ever since.
Matthew's fourth chapter tells us that those who sat in darkness saw a great light when Jesus came into the world. Light constantly expels darkness.
It's not unusual to hear teachers and authors magnifying the power of the devil and darkness to the degree that it overcomes light. Despite how the teacher and author intended that result, it still affects those who take it in.
The record of Jesus's death and resurrection is well-established. The testimony of why he came to this earth to deal with death, sin, and separation from God is clear. He overcame death, hell, and the grave. That includes the power of darkness, which was done away with when he took the authority away from Satan.
The only reason that darkness becomes a superpower in anyone's life is because of blindness to the reality of who you and I are because of what Christ did at his death, resurrection, and ascension to the Father.
That does not change when circumstances in our life look dark or fearful.
There is no change in God's opinion of you when you fail or fall in your journey. The only reason that may affect you is that you become blind to the fact that you have been redeemed and are a son of God.
That's what the light of God is; it has illuminated that you have been brought back to your genesis, the beginning of your life, which is found in God.
The scriptures tell us that we have light, and we are to let it shine so those around us may see the glory of God.
All light originated in the Father; we are his extension to this earth.

SPIRITUAL ADRENALINE
The starting gun fires with a bang, and 12 runners leap into the race.
Plans have been made and carried out for years so that each individual here would be in this contest. Practice and practice again until the body is ready to run the race to win. After all that has been done to prepare, there's just one thing missing: an ingredient that will give them the ability to succeed.
The missing ingredient is adrenaline.
Adrenaline in the natural body is held in reserve until it is needed. The term that is used is "fight or flight." Both of those things need adrenaline to make it happen.
That mysterious ingredient in the body kicked in when the gun went off, and the muscles fired off with superpower.
So it is in the spiritual world and the life that you live as a son of God.
It's called spiritual adrenaline.
Jesus said to his disciples that they would receive power after the Holy Ghost came upon them. ( ACTS 1:8) that power is God's spiritual adrenaline called the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit God manifested on earth in the lives of those who receive.
It is heavenly adrenaline—the power to do.
Jesus told his disciples in John 14 that he would come again in the form of Holy Spirit; when he did, they would remember what he had taught them. Jesus said that the spirit of God would teach them all things.
Wrap your mind around that statement if you can.
Those who believe we have received the Holy Spirit as they did in the Book of Acts speak in tongues and prophesy. When we preach, we talk about the Holy Spirit's unction, which gives us the ability to preach under the anointing.
Yet few of us have stepped into that believing realm that Jesus promised. that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things.
All things?
How could that be? But remember, Jesus is the one who came up with that statement, and we have committed ourselves to believe what he says.
I challenge you in this new day that God has given you to allow the spiritual adrenaline, the Holy Spirit, to be released in your everyday life. Because the Holy Spirit has come to teach you all things and bring all things to remembrance that Jesus has taught.
BIG RACE AHEAD!

TREASURED NOTES FROM MY OLD BIBLES
Walking with the Father through the life he has given us is a hoot. There's never a dull moment. I've discovered over these decades that I have enjoyed his fellowship and that he is a happy God. Some traditional theology has tried to convince the church that he is mad half the time, looking for something to crush us with. Nothing could ever be farther from the truth.
The key verse that shows his attitude toward those he has created is John 3:16. Why would God start loving the world so much that he gave his son as a sacrifice and yet end up trying to find ways to destroy us? The fact is he is a happy God and loves to have fun with his children.
Yesterday the Father said to me, let's have some fun. I want you to collect all of your old Bibles and go through the notes you wrote to yourself on the flyleafs because I want to speak to you from the past.
OK, if you say so, Lord.
So I collected 17 of my old Bibles, the ones I could find on my shelf.
My sisters, who were evangelists at the time, gave me the earliest Bible I preserved on May 10, 1958. They were conducting a great revival campaign in Coos Bay, Oregon, and invited me to come and help.
My sister Joanne writes to me on the flyleaf of the Bible;
Only one life will soon be passed; only what's done for Christ will last.
Read your Bible and pray every day, and you will always be on top for Jesus.
Work for him while it is yet day, for the night comes when no man can work. Philippians 1:21 Your sister, Joanne
I didn't get very far into the stack of Bibles because of the notes, prophecies, and scriptures I came across. Most of them, I had forgotten because of the time that had elapsed since I wrote them. I could hear the Father laughing at my surprise or my emotional response to something I had made a note about.
Our life is a treasure that God has given us. We must remember his goodness because that's what draws us to his heart daily.
