“CHURCH, THERE CAN’T BE BUT ONE ADAM AT A TIME, SO, WHICH BE IT?” 1 Kings 18:21; And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. *Can’t be but one Adam at a time! Matthew 16:24; Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. *Can’t be but one Adam at a time! Galatians 2:20; I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. *Can’t be but one Adam at a time. James 1:8; A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. “CHURCH, THERE CAN’T BE BUT ONE ADAM AT A TIME, SO WHICH BE IT?” Genesis 39:7; And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. v8; But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; v9; There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? *Can’t be but one Adam at a time! Romans 6:16; Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? v19; I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. “CHURCH, THERE CAN’T BE BUT ONE ADAM AT A TIME, SO, WHICH BE IT?” Nehemiah 6:2; That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. *Can’t be but one Adam at a time! Romans 8:12; Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. Hebrews 9:16; For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Nehemiah 6:3; And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? *Can’t be but one Adam at a time! Romans 8:13; For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Hebrews 9:17; For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. “CHURCH, THERE CAN’T BE BUT ONE ADAM AT A TIME, SO, WHICH BE IT?” 1 Corinthians 15:45-50; v45; And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. v47; The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. v49; And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. * Can’t be but one Adam at a time! Philippians 3:12; Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. “CHURCH, THERE CAN’T BE BUT ONE ADAM AT A TIME, SO, WHICH IS IT?” Teaching!

“IF YOU STAY LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL SEE THE CHRIST!” 2 Samuel 22:5; When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; v6; The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me. v19; They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. *The presentation of flesh is to die. But, put it to death you live. Romans 8:13; For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. “IF YOU STAY LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL SEE THE CHRIST!” Matthew 16:14; And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. *This is how flesh looks at godliness. It’s void of the spiritual nature. 1 Corinthians 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. “IF YOU STAY LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL SEE THE CHRIST!” Matthew 16:15; He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? v16; And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. v17; And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. *To establish a stay and see the Christ, there are things about you that you have became distasteful and disgusting with. Philippians 3:8; Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. “IF YOU STAY LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL SEE THE CHRIST!” John 20:3-10; v3; Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciples, and came to the sepulchre. v9; For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. v10; Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. *This is what happens when you (attend) church, and go back to your normal self. 2 Corinthians 5:6; Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: v7; (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) “IF YOU STAY LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL SEE THE CHRIST!” John 20:11; But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, v14; And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. v15; Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? who seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. There is a difference in seeing Jesus, turn back, or see Christ, looking up. When you don’t automatically return to your normal being, you will begin to take on uprightness, stood without. You take the borne away. 2 Corinthians 5:17; Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. John 20:16; Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. v18; Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. *When you begin turning away from yourself, your knowing begin to change. You see Christ. Philippians 3:10; That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; v11; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. “IF YOU STAY LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL SEE THE CHRIST!” 2 Corinthians 5:8; We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. “IF YOU STAY LONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL SEE THE CHRIST!” Teaching!

“GOD’S WORD IS A GIVEN!” Matthew 8:5; And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, v6; And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. v7; And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. *Here demonstrates how the word a given comes. John 1:1; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. v2; The same was in the beginning with God. Matthew 8:8; The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. v9; For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. *This centurion showed that he understood how to get God’s Word a given. By understanding the height of the Word. Isaiah 55:8; For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. v9; For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. *He position himself to receive God’s Word a given. Matthew 8:10; When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. v13; And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. *It will give you what he wants you to have. 1 Peter 5:6; Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. v7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. “GOD’S WORD A GIVEN!” 1 Samuel 9:2; And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. v3; And the asses of Kish Saul’s father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses. v4; And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not. v6; And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in the city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go. *It doesn’t make any difference how your stature is outwardly, you’re still be at a lost. But God’s Word a given. 2 Corinthians 4:18; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. “GID’S WORD A GIVEN!” 1 Samuel 9:10; Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was. v11; And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here? v12; And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place. v13; As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him. *To draw God’s Word a given. There must be a sacrifice. Go straight! Matthew 7:13-14; v14; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. “GOD’S WORD A GIVEN!” 1 Samuel 9:18; Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer’s house is. v19; And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart. *Let your being go, and be like that. Hebrews 10:23; Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) “GOD’S WORD A GIVEN!” 1 Samuel 9:20; And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father’s house? *God’s Word a given, it’s what he wants you to have. Isaiah 55:11; So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. “GOD’S WORD A GIVEN!” 1 Samuel 9:23; And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee. *God’s Word a given, only if you abide by it. John 15:7; If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. “GOD’S WORD A GIVEN!” Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

“AMAZED AND AFRAID!” Mark 10:32; And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him. *Church don’t be surprised of the consequences. To be in Christ you must die. 1 Peter 4:1,2,12; v2; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. v12; Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. “AMAZED AND AFRAID!” Mark 10:33; Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles. *Many of you would ask how do I leave myself? The answer is accept your being to be condemned. Hebrews 11:7; By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. “AMAZED AND AFRAID!” Mark 10:34; And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. *All this is to kill who you be in the flesh. A chastising. Hebrews 12:11; Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. *Its an exercise leaving yourself. 1 Peter 5:10; But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. *All it takes is having the mind. Philippians 2:5; Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. *It has great results, if you don’t have the dropsy, you swelling back up. 2 Corinthians 4:17; For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. “AMAZED BUT NOT AFRAID!” 2 Timothy 1:12; For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. “AMAZED AND AFRAID!” Teaching!

“THE STANDARD IS IN THE WORD!” Isaiah 59:19; So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. “THE STANDARD IS IN THE WORD!” Mark 10:46; And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. v48; And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. v49; And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. The standard is in the Word, is shown how you stand in him. It’s your rise to power. Romans 13:1; Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Luke 10:19; Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. “THE STANDARD IS IN THE WORD!” Mark 10:50; And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. The Standard is in the Word, will cause you to leave yourself. Psalm 27:4; One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. “THE STANDARD IS IN THE WORD!” Mark 10:51; And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. v52; And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. The standard is in the word, if you continue in it. 2 Timothy 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. “THE STANDARD IS IN THE WORD!” If the standard be lifted! John 12:32; And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. Philippians 3:14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. “THE STANDARD IS IN THE WORD!” Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

“OWN RELATIONSHIP!” Nehemiah 6:2; That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. *Own relationship is not just something you own up too. But it’s your own, it’s personal. v3; And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? 2 Timothy 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. “OWN RELATIONSHIP!” 1 Kings 13:8; And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: v9; For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. v10; So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el. *When the relationship is personal, there is always a seeking of ownness, one’s worth. Philippians 2:12; Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. “OWN RELATIONSHIP!” 1 Kings 13:12; And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah. Own relationship shows establishing. 2 Timothy 4:2; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. “OWN RELATIONSHIP!” 1 Kings 13:15; Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. v16; And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: v17; For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. *You will lose your relationship being personal. When you lose the way you walk, charged, to a said walk, listening. 1 Corinthians 14:20; Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. “OWN RELATIONSHIP!” 1 Kings 13:18; He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. v19; So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water. v21; And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee, v22; But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. *When you lose your personal relationship with the Lord, it will cause your dying not to be right. 2 Corinthians 4:11; For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 1 Kings 13:24; And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase. *Without establishing your own relationship with the Lord, a direct too. You will lose your way. 2 Thessalonians 2:7; For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. “OWN RELATIONSHIP!” Ecclesiastes 9:4; For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. “OWN RELATIONSHIP!” Teaching!

“WHY GO TO CHURCH, BUT HIDE THE BUILDING MATERIAL?” 2 Samuel 7:1; And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies. Church is suppose to be a prevailing being. Matthew 16:18; And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The being that Peter was taking on. Romans 8:37; Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. “WHY GO TO CHURCH, BUT HIDE THE BUILDING MATERIAL?” 2 Samuel 7:2; That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. *The being that the Lord wants you to be, cannot be in the flesh. Titus 1:16; They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. “WHY GO TO CHURCH, BUT HIDE THE BUILDING MATERIAL?” 2 Samuel 7:3; And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee. v4; And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying, v5; Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? *The material has to be made to work. Luke 6:46; And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? *Made to work has to be done from the heart. Matthew 6:21; For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. “WHY GO TO CHURCH, BUT HIDE THE BUILDING MATERIAL?” 2 Corinthians 4:3; But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: v7; But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. *Now, why hide such building material?

“MULTITASKER!” Matthew 16:21; From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Can you draw nigh unto the Lord, awhile leaving yourself, multitasking?” 1 Peter 4:1; Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin. “MULTITASKER!” Matthew 16:22; Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. When you are a multitasking in the Lord, you defy the odds. Luke 6:46; And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? “MULTITASKER!” Matthew 16:23; But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offense unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Faith is a task, an undertaken that you do. But with added doings along with it at the same time. James 2:18; Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Matthew 16:24; Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. “MULTITASKER!” Matthew 16:25; For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. In the Lord it’s a gain doing and losing at the same time, multitasker. Philippians 3:7; But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Matthew 16:26; For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? What good is it to do, but nothing about it. James 2:24; Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Doing two things at once. “MULTITASKER!” Acts 28:3; And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. To be a multitasker in the Lord, is to show your versatility. 2 Corinthians 10:3; For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. Acts 28:5; And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Being able to do more than one thing, at the same time, in the Lord. Philippians 1:20; According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. “MULTITASKER!” Teaching!
