The last days: The world’s operation is relying on a system designed to fail…. We need to see how we can prevail independently of this system, to live and walk in abundance independent of the system of the world.

Mark 1:14

   Now after John was arrested and put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom of God,

   And saying, The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled (completed), and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent have a change of mind which issues in regret for past sins and in change of conduct for the better) and believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to) the good news (the Gospel).

When you are talking about the Kingdom of God you are talking about another reality.  The Kingdom of God is the rule of God, the reality of God, the authority of God, the realm of God, the anointing of God, the system of God, the government of God.  This is the framework of the kingdom of God. 

Jesus came preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, the good news.   Good news is a report of something already taken place.  He came to preach something already taken place.

Repent means to go back again over something that already was, to go back to its original state.  In this particular case of mankind it means to go back to the state of where mankind was, back to Adam, before the fall.  When you repent you are born into the Kingdom of God, which is the reality of God.

“Re” is used a lot; reunion- renew- restore etc.

Repent: Coming back to the way mankind was at the first.  So the Gospel message is to repent to come back to the way mankind was before the fall, because the Kingdom of God is soon coming.    That is the only Gospel there is to preach. It has already come in the sense that it is within us.  But it has not come in full demonstration from within the church. 

Joel 2:22-27
   Be not afraid, you wild beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness have sprung up and are green; the tree bears its fruit, and the fig tree and the vine yield their [full] strength.
   Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord, your God; for He gives you the former or early rain in just measure and in righteousness, and He causes to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
   And the [threshing] floors shall be full of grain and the vats shall overflow with juice [of the grape] and oil.
   And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten – the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you.
   And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord, your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be put to shame.
   And you shall know, understand, and realize that I am in the midst of Israel and that I the Lord am your God and there is none else. My people shall never be put to shame.

This is saying He will restore their life and bring them back to where they were, but this is a little broader, I believe here He is talking about restoring all the way back to Adam and what he lost will be restored however, God never brings things back to just the way they were; He always brings them back a little higher, a little better than they were at the first. 

Remember Job gained back two times what he had. 

He is saying I am going to restore you to overflow – you are coming back to abundance.  It’s time for the Kingdom to be manifested for everyone to see how God really is; He is not a God of shortage or a God of running out, or a God who has improperly planed the future.  He has a plan for us…

 Jeremiah 29:11

   For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Daniel 2:31-45
   You, O king, saw, and behold, [there was] a great image. This image which was mighty and of exceedingly great brightness stood before you, and the appearance of it was frightening and terrible.   

   As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
   Its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay [the baked clay of the potter]. (Kingdoms)
   As you looked, a Stone was cut out without human hands, which smote the image on its feet of iron and [baked] clay [of the potter] and broke them to pieces.
   Then the iron, the [baked] clay [of the potter], the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken and crushed together and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors, and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them could be found. And the Stone that smote the image became a great mountain or rock and filled the whole earth.
   And in the days of these [final ten] kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break and crush and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever.
   Just as you saw that the Stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. The dream is certain and the interpretation of it is sure.

This is picture of the world’s system.  The Bible is a coded book.  People read it but don’t know what it means.  The Holy Ghost is the one that interprets the scripture for us to know and be prepared for what is coming.

Breast, chest and arms of silver is the Medo Persian Kingdom

Brass – Greecian Kingdom

Iron clay Roman Kingdom

All these kingdoms broke.  This stone that was cut out of the mountain without hands filled the earth and destroyed all the kingdoms.  Kingdom of God will come into manifestation with demonstration.

Isaiah 9:6
   For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace.
   Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the [latter] time forth, even forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Romans 14:17  Kingdom is not in meat and drink but is a

Spiritual reality.  Jesus came to reintroduce the Kingdom to mankind.

In Mark 5 He demonstrated the power of this Kingdom.  The Kingdom rules over all…

 Psalm 103:19

   The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

No matter what a person was facing the Kingdom of God came in demonstration in Jesus Christ.  It is the same today, no matter what we may face the Kingdom of God comes in demonstration.

Mark 5:1-15

    THEY CAME to the other side of the sea to the region of the Gerasenes.
   And as soon as He got out of the boat, there met Him out of the tombs a man [under the power] of an unclean spirit.
     This man continually lived among the tombs, and no one could subdue him any more, even with a chain;
   For he had been bound often with shackles for the feet and handcuffs, but the handcuffs of [light] chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he rubbed and ground together and broke in pieces; and no one had strength enough to restrain or tame him.
   Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always shrieking and screaming and beating and bruising and cutting himself with stones.
   And when from a distance he saw Jesus, he ran and fell on his knees before Him in homage,
   And crying out with a loud voice, he said, What have You to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? [What is there in common between us?] I solemnly implore you by God, do not begin to torment me!
   For Jesus was commanding, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!
   And He asked him, What is your name? He replied, My name is Legion, for we are many.
   And he kept begging Him urgently not to send them [himself and the other demons] away out of that region.
   Now a great herd of hogs was grazing there on the hillside.
   And the demons begged Him, saying, Send us to the hogs, that we may go into them!
   So He gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out [of the man] and entered into the hogs; and the herd, numbering about 2,000, rushed headlong down the steep slope into the sea and were drowned in the sea.
   The hog feeders ran away, and told [it] in the town and in the country. And [the people] came to see what it was that had taken place.
   And they came to Jesus and looked intently and searchingly at the man who had been a demoniac, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, [the same man] who had had the legion [of demons]; and they were seized with alarm and struck with fear.

This man was found clothed and in his right mind.  This is the Kingdom of God in demonstration.

In asking the Lord why He allowed the demons to go into the hogs His answer to me was, “The hogs belonged to Jews who were not in relationship with Me, so I put them out of business.”  I then asked Him why He allowed the demons to stay in the region why not cast them into hell or something?  He said, “It is not my job to close men off to demonic power.  It is his job to keep himself in Me.  That region was not my region, it is the job of the people who live there to keep it protected by dispatching angels.”

Matthew 15:29-31    
   And Jesus went on from there and passed along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up into the hills and kept sitting there.
   And a great multitude came to Him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed,(something missing) the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them down at His feet; and He cured them,
   So that the crowd was amazed when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they recognized and praised and thanked and glorified the God of Israel.

Jesus healed them all. This was the Kingdom of God demonstrated.  It doesn’t matter what you have you can be healed, an amputee, born deformed etc. it makes no difference, Jesus came to put it back on, to restore.  It doesn’t matter what circumstances you may be facing, the Kingdom rules over all.  Jesus came to restore us back to nothing missing nothing broken.  No matter how you were born the kingdom can change genes, chromosomes etc. because the Kingdom rules and can change your whole desire no matter what may be wrong with your genes.

Matthew 24:14

   And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.

The Kingdom of God will be preached in demonstration. It will be the Word preached with signs following.

Matthew 24:3-8
   While He was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately and said, Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age?   
   Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].
   For many will come in (on the strength of) My name [appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray.
    And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

(I know we are in wars and there are rumors of wars but the end is not yet don’t be troubled).
   For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place;
   All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish].

What is He saying?  There is going to be deception, wars, shortages sickness and disease, that people can’t seem to get a remedy or relief for, natural disasters, like tsunamis etc. all of these things are going to be happening in the last days but I want you to know something; the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink but is righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.  In other words it is not natural but spiritual. The Kingdom of God is coming from the inside of us.  Revelation 21 says the city of God comes down out of heaven and sets up on the earth at the end.  But now this is the time people are catching a glimpse of what the Kingdom is going to be like and they are going to catch a glimpse of it through you.

John 3:1-5

   NOW THERE was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (a leader, an authority) among the Jews,
   Who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know and are certain that You have come from God [as] a Teacher; for no one can do these signs (these wonderworks, these miracles – and produce the proofs) that You do unless God is with him.
   Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the Kingdom of God.
   Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb again and be born?
   Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, unless a man is born of water and [even] the Spirit, he cannot [ever] enter the Kingdom of God.

Must be born into the Kingdom of God by His Word. 

Luke 17:20
   Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying, The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display,
   Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].

The Kingdom is within you, it came within us at the time of redemption when the church was born (manifested) the Kingdom came and set up on inside of us.

Colossians 1:12-13
   Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion, which is the inheritance of the saints (God's holy people) in the Light.
   [The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

There are two things happening here, first we are in the Kingdom second the Kingdom is in us.  So we are not only in the Kingdom but the Kingdom of God is in us.

Once we come into the Kingdom we come into spiritual reality.  The enemy tries to keep us from going any further than being born again, he tells us that we are born again and that is all we need; as long as we miss hell when we die this is good enough.

God doesn’t just want you to be a partaker of the inheritance of the Kingdom but he wants you to be a distribution center for Him for others outside of the Kingdom so they can see what the Kingdom is really like.  II Corinthians 5:18-19.

Kingdom Demonstrated:
While we lived in Washington, we found our self in financial distress.  I didn’t have any money or gas in the car.  My girls were just little at the time.  God was taking us through a season of faith training.  I refused to get depressed because we had no money or gas.  I called the girls to the car and told them to get in we were going to visit a friend.  They were puzzled at how we were going to do this without any gas in the car.  They got in the back, we all buckled up, I looked at the gas gage and said, “Gas gage you are a liar, we have as much gas in this car as we need.  We can go anywhere we please because we are the King’s kids.”  I drove all week everywhere we wanted to go on supernatural power.  This was a demonstration of the Kingdom of God manifested from within me.  What happen was the Kingdom rose up in me against my present situation.  I saw myself as the King’s kid therefore I am entitled to everything that is His because I belong to Him. In the Kingdom the King owns it all and freely gives it to his Kingdom people. 

This is just one of the many times over the years that the Kingdom of God was manifested in demonstration in my life. 

God is busy through the Holy Ghost working to acquaint us with who we are in the eyes of God, not who we are in the eyes of a scientist, who doesn’t know God, or in the eyes of Mamma or someone else but who we are in His eyes, to show the world who He is.  He leads us into a battle in the natural that we cannot win; a problem we can’t solve, property we can’t afford and this is to demonstrate the power of the Kingdom within us.  He constantly looks for a place in our lives to demonstrate Kingdom power.  

The mystery of the Kingdom is not comprehended by the natural mind.  You can walk with confidence when you have to face a problem beyond you when you know who you really are.

People are watching you to see how your situation will turn out; they are looking for the manifestation of the sons of God Romans 8:19. What is our challenge?  We need to renew our mind.  Our minds have been programmed by the failing, faulting system of the world.  We must get out of that and get into the knowledge of God. Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.”  Revelation knowledge brings us out of difficult situations.

For instance if the Bible says you can have 100 fold return then God will give you a 100 fold return.  The mind of the flesh is the body dictating to you what is truth.  The mind of the spirit is getting the word of God and taking that as the truth.  Mankind fell from revelation knowledge to information knowledge and has been trying to use education to get back, but we can’t get back revelation knowledge without meditating the word of God.

There is great pressure coming on people because of the times we are in.  We are coming to the place where we will not make it without the power of God.  We are going to need supernatural help in these perilous times to make it through.

II Timothy 3:1-5
   BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].
   For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.
   [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.
   [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.
   For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].

Those who deny the power to change, we are to turn away from.  As I am working to renew my mind I have to renew my mind to who God says I am and to what God says I can do and what God says I can have.  Because if my mind is not renewed I will never come into what God has for me.

The thing that kept the Israelites from going into Canaan land was unbelief.  Ten of the twelve came back to the people and reported what they saw. They saw themselves with the wrong image. They saw themselves as grasshoppers.  The other two, Joshua and Caleb, saw themselves as God saw them big enough to take the land that God said was theirs.  You must get the right image of who you are, and meditate on it; this will renew your mind to who you really are.  You will then walk with confidence able to handle any situation that arises.

Joshua and Caleb preached the message of abundance they said we are well able to posses it.  We are well able to over overcome it. 

Listen, God is in you and if you only do what you can do you aren’t going to get very far.  You need to stop doing what you can do and start doing what God can do. 

Who we are; number one the Bible says in II Corinthians 5:20 that we are ambassadors, a government official to represent the Kingdom of God.  We are dispatched to another nation to take care of diplomatic business on behalf of our Government, which is ruled by our King, His name is Jesus.  King Jesus sent us into a nation that could be hostile, but it doesn’t matter because we are not by our self.  We have angels encamped about us Psalm 34:7.  When we go into this nation we are responsible to take care of business on behalf of this Government who sent us as a spokesmen.  We are very limited on what we can say; we may think some stuff but what we better say is what He said because if we don’t say what He said He can call us back.  Whatever He says in the Bible is what I am going to say.  By His stripes… it doesn’t make a difference what you think about it or what they say about it, if He said it I am going to say it.

The environment of the country the ambassadors are in does not affect them.  We can live in a place and not live like the people who live there.  The people from that country can be in poverty, diseases, etc. but the ambassadors can have abundance and not be ashamed because they are from another country. You are in the world but that doesn’t mean you have to be of the world… you can live independently of the world and it’s failing system.

How can they hear without a preacher?

Romans 10:13-17
   For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved.
   But how are people to call upon Him Whom they have not believed [in Whom they have no faith, on Whom they have no reliance]? And how are they to believe in Him [adhere to, trust in, and rely upon Him] of Whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
   And how can men [be expected to] preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings! [How welcome is the coming of those who preach the good news of His good things!]
   But they have not all heeded the Gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed (had faith in) what he has heard from us?
   So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).

Ten of the spies came back and preached something that was acceptable to their flesh.  For us (leaders) to take the people in they are going to have to hear something that doesn’t sound naturally reasonable.  If is it is not reasonable it must be faith. Two of them preached it right.  If God be for you no man can stand against you, Romans 8:31.

Mark 9:23
   And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!

No more chicken feed. The reason you can’t believe for big stuff is because you have a mindset of before you became saved, when you should be taking dominion you are trying to give an offering.  Giving an offering is good but God wants you to take dominion. 

The dogs came and licked the sores of Lazarus the beggar at the gate, Luke 16:20.  The beggar went to Abraham’s bosom.  The rich man died and went to hell so the enemy has told us that if we are rich we will go to hell.  The enemy has programmed people against hearing God’s truth and walking in it. 

You need to get bold and get what is yours.  Stop thinking 50K and think 50M, as a man thinks in his heart so is he, Proverbs 23:7.

The beggar died broke…. You can die broke as a Christian, die sick as a Christian etc.  You can be saved and die sick!  Beggars attract dogs; with the beggar mentality you attract people who use you because you are not operating at the level God wants you to operate. 

Mark 9:23
   If though can believe all things are possible to him that believe.

If you can believe all things are possible for you.   Owning a home in California, Zambia and Kenya, and having an airplane is possible for me so I can believe it.  I can see it!

In Luke 19:4, Zacchaeus climbed up a family tree so-to-speak, dealing like the world ripping people off.   Jesus saw him in the tree and called him to come down.  He was shorter than Jesus, meaning that the systems of the world are inferior to the system of Christ.

He got saved in his house, received Christ and started giving.  The world teaches you to take but God teaches you to give. 

God is taking us back to the system that Adam operated in before the fall.   

In God’s economic system there is no profit and loss.

***********************************************

The The Higher Plain

Mark 1:14-15

   Now after John was arrested and put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom of God,

   And saying, The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled (completed), and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent have a change of mind which issues in regret for past sins and in change of conduct for the better) and believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to) the good news (the Gospel).

Verse 15 - And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. (KJV)

Repent – go back to, restore to original… taking mankind back to the state of Adam before he sinned.

Believe the Gospel

Mark 9:23
   And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!

Joel 2:23-26

   Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord, your God; for He gives you the former or early rain in just measure and in righteousness, and He causes to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
   And the [threshing] floors shall be full of grain and the vats shall overflow with juice [of the grape] and oil.
   And I will restore or replace for you the years that the locust has eaten--the hopping locust, the stripping locust, and the crawling locust, My great army which I sent among you.
   And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord, your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be put to shame.

Government of God is coming into the earth to take rulership over this earth.  This is what Jesus preached.  Living on a higher plain super – natural realm.  It’s a realm where man is receiving revelation rather than information.

Genesis 1:1-5, 26

    IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.
   The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters.
   And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
   And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness.
   And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

Verse 26 - God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.

Dominion means let him (mankind) take possession of it. 

Genesis 2:1

   THUS THE heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
   And on the seventh day God ended His work, which He had done; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work, which He had done.

This passage uses the word work – work of God

John 14:10
     Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the (His) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).

Jesus said, “It is the Father in me who does the work” – we call it miracles.  The work is still being done.  From earth to heaven we call it miracles from heaven to earth its called the work of God, it’s the supernatural power of God in manifestation.

Genesis 2:7

   Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.

Man is a speaking spirit.  God made man in his own image and likeness, He duplicated His own nature and designed him to operate like Him.  So if God is speaking things into existence and using words to control this earth, then mankind who is made in His image is capable of doing the same thing.  This is where the image of God comes in.  We start with getting the right image of our self.  But we can't do this until we have the right image of God.  Our mindset should be one of being a child of God, being born of God.

I peter 1:23

   You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God.

We are born again by the word of God, which is the incorruptible seed.

John 1:1-3

   IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
   He was present originally with God.
   All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.

We are born by the Word, which was God so whatever God has in Him we have got in us because the Word, which was God, gave us birth.  My spirit is the real me, my flesh profits nothing.  Apostle Paul said he keeps his flesh under his submission.  While the flesh profits nothing we need it to operate in this earth, but we have to train the flesh.  It’s corrupted because of the curse.  But the reality of our life is that we are a speaking spirit.  This is the part of us that is connected with God.  We speak out of our spirit to bring things into existence.  God placed Adam in the garden and gave him plenty.  Would you like to have plenty?  Start speaking!

Genesis 2:8-9
   And the Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden [delight]; and there He put the man whom He had formed (framed, constituted).
   And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight or to be desired – good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life also in the center of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of [the difference between] good and evil and blessing and calamity.

Genesis 2:18-22
   Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
   And out of the ground the Lord God formed every [wild] beast and living creature of the field and every bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name.
   And Adam gave names to all the livestock and to the birds of the air and to every [wild] beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.

In verse 18 God said it is not good for man to be alone.  Alone is the contraction for all-one – he was single which means whole – he was man and woman.  God took the rib, a part of him, and made them two beings man and woman.  Adam was man and woman “all one” until God took her from him and she became a separate being but connected as one with him and we all came from within them.  Adam was operating in his authority when God brought his bride to him.

   And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and while he slept, He took one of his ribs or a part of his side and closed up the [place with] flesh.
   And the rib or part of his side which the Lord God had taken from the man He built up and made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

Adam was given dominion – he was made the head to protect the family.  God gave Adam the work – he was working the works of God.  This is the ability that operated in him before the fall.

Genesis 3:1-7
   Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
   And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
   But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
   And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
   For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
   And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
   And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. (KJV)

This was not a physical death but a spiritual one.  When Adam broke fellowship with God he became separated, disunited from Him. 

The serpent said that they would be like gods if they were to eat of the tree but they were already in the image of God.  Satan will always make you think you are not what you are.  What you are is his master and all of hell labors to keep us from this truth.

Verse 7 says they knew they were naked and sewed fig leaves together for clothes; their body began to dictate truth.

God had to have a plan of redemption to get man back to the beginning.  Jesus taught on getting us back to this place.  This is the Gospel that he preached.

Matthew 12:33
   You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.
   The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things.
   But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak.
   For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.

The Day of Judgment, not necessarily talking about the end, but the day of judgment being the day we reap the harvest of every word we have spoken.

We need to be like Jesus and live from the inside out rather than outside in.  We can’t let our body dictate what is true.  Repent: it’s time to come back up and live in the spirit.  When man fell he fell from revelation into information.  We are now living in an information age. Jesus came to bring us back up to revelation knowledge.

In all of the perilous times to come, famines, economic collapse, sickness and disease, natural disasters etc., God says the end is not yet, Matthew 24:6.  We will live through all of it.  We have to have peace in the middle of this or we won’t make it through any of it.  We have to live in another world, see another reality then we won’t be shaken.   Like with Jesus the unseen must be more real to us than the seen.  We should be operating in and from the unseen realm.  We are going to have to come up to a higher level and operate the way God wants us to operate.

We must develop an abundance mentality.  We must live supernaturally because of the times we live in.  Hard times are coming we need to live up higher in another reality.  We have to change the image from within and see ourselves through the Word of God. We can’t look at ourselves with the wrong image.  We must see ourselves the way God sees us.

Chief strategy of satan is to keep us in our past.  In Christ we are new… we are now ambassadors, born again.  Once we are born again (something you were never before) you are born into the class of God tutored by the Spirit, taught how to live like God.

We are not used to acting like the Father, speaking to things, living supernatural etc. The enemy wants to keep you thinking like you used to, and speaking like you used to, but God is bringing you to a place where you will think like God, act like God, and believe like God.

Jesus spoke to the fig tree he didn’t wait around to see if what He said was happening, He went about His business.

What we believe comes from the heart.  James 1:22 says that when you don’t do what you hear you forget what you heard.  We must take what God said and work it. 

Mark 9:23
   And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!

Jesus said repent, take dominion over the whole earth – time, matter, and space.  All of this was what Jesus came to re-establish. 

dominion over time

Amos 9:13
   Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine and all the hills shall melt [that is, everything heretofore barren and unfruitful shall overflow with spiritual blessing].

In restoration (born into the Kingdom of God) there is no time. When you lay hands on the sick they will recover James 5:15. How long will it take to heal? What do you believe?  We have dominion over time. We can lay hands on the sick and they will be healed now at the point prayer. When Adam fell he fell from time-less into time bondage.  He had to wait on time.  When you are restored you are restored to the place where you don’t have to wait on time, it is under your dominion.  Jesus said it is the Father in me doing the work.  It is God in us doing the work through us.  We can’t work except to the degree we believe.  The way we transform our belief is through meditation of the Word. 

God takes us up to something that is too big for us on purpose. We either stay limited or rise to our place of dominion and govern.  We are mandated to take possession.

You have to change what you believe. If you can believe all things are possible, Mark 9:23.  If you hesitate you do not believe.  You need to get your believing up.  

Mark 4 tells us that the sower sows the word.  Sow the word on the inside of you and change the image inside.  The wrong image inside of you is what stops you from taking possession. 

Proverbs 4:23 tells us to guard our heart because out of it flows the issues of life. 

Boundaries:  Where are the boundaries for your life?  Are they in your heart?  “They won’t let me do that because I am a woman or because I am black etc.”  All excuses are gone when you get saved.  We must operate from the inside out.  The seen is there because the unseen is there. 

When the spirit leaves, the body falls to ground and will rot, it will go back to dust. The flesh is nothing but dignified dirt.  We need to deal with everything from the inside out. 

We need to get to the root cause of things not happening in our life that should be.  We can deal with things on a level the world can’t. 

What you see is not all there is, it’s just the tip of the ice burg.  the ice burg has more below the water than above.  The supply for us is inexhaustible. 

 Luke 5:1-8
   NOW IT occurred that while the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the message of God, He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret (Sea of Galilee).
   And He saw two boats drawn up by the lake, but the fishermen had gone down from them and were washing their nets.
   And getting into one of the boats, [the one] that belonged to Simon (Peter), He requested him to draw away a little from the shore. Then He sat down and continued to teach the crowd [of people] from the boat.
   When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon (Peter), Put out into the deep [water], and lower your nets for a haul.
   And Simon (Peter) answered, Master, we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets]. But on the ground of Your word, I will lower the nets [again].
   And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [at the point of] breaking,
   They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
   But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

Peter was washing his nets when Jesus was preaching.  No doubt he was hearing Him teach.  Jesus asked Peter if He could use His boat, Peter agreed so Jesus used his boat and taught.  I believe He taught on increase because of the increase that Peter received after hearing the teachings of Jesus.  There was a great demonstration of the Kingdom of God manifested before the eyes of them all.  We can’t do it without someone preaching it, hearing and then doing.  Again, I believe Peter overheard Jesus preaching.  Faith comes by hearing, he heard, believed, and received.  The Word turned from Logos to Rhema.  Rhema is the manifested logos, it’s the loges on the inside manifested on the outside.  Peter pulled in more than he could contain, he needed help to manage his abundance. 

The enemy makes us conscious of payday, therefore living form paycheck to paycheck. We don’t have to live off of our paycheck.  Our paycheck is our seed we live off of our harvest.

Proverbs 10:4
    He becomes poor who works with a slack and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
   He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

We have not had the recourses we need to do what God has called us to do because we have operated the old way, but our salary is not enough to take care of our needs.  God has given us the law of sowing and reaping.

The main thing you need is faith. The enemy tries to keep us from operating in faith by keeping us in condemnation, Romans 12:1.

Victim mentality:  "This happened to me because I came from a dysfunctional family."   Victim thinking keeps you a victim even though the crime against you is over.  Once we change the image inside we will see our self as a victor, no longer a victim.

Some use the excuse that I was born across the tracks, but all of us were born across some kind of tracks.  With God you can be born across any track and He will still prosper you. The wrong image can produce condemnation, which destroys your faith.

It doesn’t matter if you have gone through molestation, or suffered a rape, spouse leaving you, or loss of a child to death etc.  Start making your way to abundance now.  The enemy will use those things to keep you from your promised land.  You can’t buy into that. Realize that when God is for you no one can be against you, Romans 8:31.

Philippians 3:13
   I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
