Why Adam Cannot Be Saved

Several years ago, I had a dream where God spoke a word to me which I believed I was to write down, study, and share with others.  In fact, I believed it was supposed to be a book, but the mere idea of that seemed daunting.

See, I have always been a sort of "behind the scenes" person.  I am happy to help others, but never saw my service to Christ being anything more than that.  I never thought God would give me a word to share or want to use me to directly minister to others.  The silly question I thought was, "Who was I to write a book?"

As a result, I started the first two steps, but never got to the last.  It seemed the more I studied, the bigger the topic became, and over time this became sort of like the project I would never finish.  Plus, was I really willing to stand on my own faith, profess what I believe, and share what I felt the Lord was showing me?  Was I prepared to have my own testimony before the Lord & before men vs. supporting someone else's testimony (Revelations 12:11)?  Eventually, this project got placed on the back burner and it has stayed there since.

Yet, this is not about me, but the Lord.  I merely share that to illustrate how we often place ourselves in God's way.  Like Moses, we can become self-conscious and inhibited when God calls us to move, as if God isn't God and able to do all that He chooses through His vessels. It is His work He is doing and He is faithful to complete it.

Recently, God has brought this dream back to my remembrance and I recalled how strongly I felt that this message must be shared.  So, in the next few blog posts, I will be focused on doing just that, documenting what I believe He would have me to say on the topic: "Why Adam Cannot Be Saved".  

There is still much work for me to do in this area.  Posts may be sporadic, but I believe it is time.  This will be my focus, however long it takes, until it is completed.  I don't want to leave this world having left undone anything God has put upon my heart to do.  If God leads me to, I will compile these posts into an ebook upon completion which can be downloaded to be read in its entirety.

May He pour out His grace and Spirit to allow me to say what He would have me to in this hour.


Why Adam Cannot Be Saved - Introduction

Years ago, I had a dream where I was in a house. While in the house, various individuals would come up to me and speak about the Lord. We would have wonderful conversations about the goodness of God and the joy in serving Him. Then, after the conversation, each person would turn around from me, leave the house, and go back to the world.

After this had happened several times, I asked the Lord, “God, why is it that all of these people are going back to the world? They each seemed to know the Bible and to know you, but each time they returned to the world.” And God answered me saying, “Because Adam cannot be saved.”

At that moment, it was as if scales had fallen from my eyes. Suddenly, that simple statement from God answered all of my questions; it seemed even as if every question in the universe had been answered.

Upon waking up, I did not have the clarity that was found in the dream and I said to the Lord, “Alright God. That statement seemed to answer everything in the dream, but I am not sure that I get it. I know that we must die to the old Adamic nature, but what are you trying to tell me?”

From that point on, God led me through a study of the Scriptures that not only brought new meaning to my salvation walk, but expanded upon my understanding of man’s very existence & struggle here on this earth. In these writings, it is my hope that God will help His children to see the beauty of salvation and awaken in them a desire to be free from all false counterfeits which stymy our efforts to be fruitful for His Kingdom.

Conclusion

Not Without Holiness

"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.

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears." Hebrews 12:11-17

Reflections

The Land Mourns

"Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things [incest, fornication, adultery, child sacrifice, homosexuality, bestiality]: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants...

(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you." Leviticus 18:24-25, 27-28

I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the events described in these news reports below, but when I saw the video I immediately started thinking about the Scriptures.  God tells us that man's sin can become so prevalent and vile that it even defiles the very land in which we live (Numbers 35:33-34; Jeremiah 2:7, 3:9, 16:18; Ezekiel 36:17). As a result, creation itself tries to spew out man and his evil ways.

The earth and that which is within it mourns for the evil man does in the land.

"How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end." Jeremiah 12:4

"For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD." Jeremiah 23:10-11

"Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away." Hosea 4:3

"The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished." Joel 1:10-11

All of creation awaits, groans, and travails for those who truly belong to God to be manifested. 

"For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." Romans 8:19-22

Yet, even as the land and all creation groans, we know that God is in the midst of this preparing a people to rise.  A people who have been prepared for a time such as this and empowered by the Spirit of God to bring deliverance to every heart which longs for righteousness.

Don't be carried away by the distractions of this world.  Don't take God's longsuffering for slackness and drift away from your first love.  Redeem the times and seek the Lord while He may be found.  If we hold our peace, even the rocks will cry out.

What is Coming to the Earth?

Katy Perry dressed as an extraterrestrial (ET).

Why is there so much of a preoccupation with seeking alien life forms, UFOs, and visits from ETs?  This message is being promoted in virtually every arena of life.

Some say that it is ignorant for us to assume that we are the only forms of life in the universe...and they are correct.  However, the essence of truth is only defined by the One who is the Creator of all.  If we are defining what is true by any other standard, then we will be deceived.

The Bible tells us that there is extraterrestrial (originating outside of or beyond the earth) life.  God Himself is "extraterrestrial" in that His life did not originate from nor is it limited to this world.  However, there are also a host of God's creations which are "extraterrestrial", and not all of them are Godly.  Satan & his hordes of demons are extraterrestrial, and the Scriptures speak of how fallen angels mixed with the "seed" (from the Hebrew word zera` meaning semen; Daniel 2:43) of men to produce a hybrid, race of "mighty men" (Genesis 6:4).

The following videos start with a speech by Dr. Michio Kaku (physicist) at the Global Competitiveness Forum (GCF) conference called, "Contact: Learning from Outer Space". According to Dr. Kaku, the current world's culture - politics, music, entertainment, sports, etc. - are manifestations of the "birth pains" of a type of a new civilization which is evolving.  The purpose of this new civilization?  To make us more in sync with the supernatural beings from outer space with whom they desire to make contact.  Every nuance of what you see promoted in the world is geared towards this goal, according to Dr. Kaku.

Scientists go on further to say how altered DNA is leading scientists to redefine "life" and will shortly aid in identifying new life forms; in the earth and beyond.

Some may laugh this off and consider it wacky.  However, prominent global business leaders, politicians, scientists, religious pundits and journalists wholeheartedly believe this and place the backing of their power/influence behind it in order to prepare us for it.  If we do not know this, then we will not understand much of what we see in the world, nor be prepared spiritually to stand against it.

A Personal Testimony of The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

I have spoken before about my personal experience in being baptized in the Holy Spirit.  So many people do not understand this, shun it, and mock it...even in the church.  Nothing makes the Holy Spirit grieve within me more than to see professing Christians mock spiritual things which they do not understand.

In the following videos, Bro. Ryan Hicks and Pastor Zac Poonen talk about experiencing the infilling of the Holy Spirit and how it empowers God's people for ministry.

The Word of Their Testimony

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."  Revelations 12:11

The following message is from The Warriors Temple as brothers & sisters share their personal testimonies of deliverance from sin and salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.  I pray that it is a blessing to you.

In this world we live in there is an atmosphere of personality cults with many of the leaders in ministries becoming the focal point. This being so, it opens up a door for the Dark Angel to enter in with fame, fortune, celebrity status which basically taps into the fallen nature of man; and man becomes “Self-righteous”.

This spirit of self-righteousness is honestly what has prevented the growth and subsequent spreading of Christ's Gospel and his church. We have no more time to waste with men & women who seek to be stars and well renowned. We must spread the truth about Christ's salvation through the voices of “ALL” people who have been saved by the blood of the lamb.

Join the Warriors Temple as we introduce a different method of ministry entitled “W.O.T.T.” (Words of Their Testimony). The Warriors Temple will do this periodically because we believe that everyone has a testimony and all people should share how God has bought them from darkness into the marvelous light.

MESSAGE: Words of Their Testimony

Pornographic Mind Control

The following message is from The Last Trump blog.

"I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me." Psalm 101:3

"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." 2 Corinthians 4:18

Pornography is one of the most common vices of Satan known to man in the 21st century.  You will be hard pressed to come across a person (especially in the western world) that has not been exposed to pornography in one form or another. From internet pornography to the Disney channel, the entire society is being inundated with an unending wave of sexual immorality and perversion.  From rich to poor, young to old, male to female, pornography has become a common denominator in man's bondage to Satan. The tragedy is that only a few in this world realize the extent of the damage that ANY exposure to pornography does to the human soul (housed in the bloodstream).

If by God’s grace a person does come to know the truth about what has been downloaded into their souls through the exposure to pornography, the fight to walk in that truth and free (re-program) the mind of such images and trauma is brutal because Satan is an unrepentant pursuer of man’s soul (Exodus 14:5-8). Repentance from sin, a life of prayer, fasting, regeneration of the mind through God’s word, and the application of the blood of Jesus can bring victory over this form of satanic mind control (Mark 9:29/ Ephesians 4:22-24/ Hebrews 9:14).

Many share the same story of being exposed to pornography at a very young age, with the exposure usually coming through a family member, guardian, or a close friend, etc. Satan is executing a key war tactic in the strategy of separating man from God by etching and programming images of perversion deep into the minds and souls of the entire society. This exposure to graphic images of sexual perversion can traumatize the human soul for life. Satan usually initiates this attack while the human is at a young age, long before they have a chance to realize what is being downloaded into their souls. This is a tactical move to ensure Satan that he will have a society full of perverted, tormented, demon possessed pornographic mind control victims that will not only be alienated from God in their minds (Ephesians 4:18/ Colossians 1:21), but will openly reject Jesus Christ at His return, while openly accepting Satan’s alternative; the anti-Christ. If man is separated and alienated from God through the strongholds of perversion that abide in his mind, how can God come down and move through man?

Satan usually begins his programming of pornographic mind control at a young age (Mark 9:21). When better to start programming a computer than when it’s fresh out of the box and the memory is blank and ready to receive whatsoever you choose to put into it? Only the programs that are stored in the CPU (the mind) of that computer will dictate and determine which specific functions that computer will perform. Whenever the programmer desires to retrieve what they have stored unto the CPU to carry out the desired function, the programmer simply clicks a button and presto!  The computer has to give you what you want because that is what you programmed it to do (barring any technical difficulties).  Satan attacks the mind while it is still in its formative years in order to mold and shape it into what he wants it to do, when he wants it done. When the computer begins to malfunction and ceases to be able to carry out the programmed functions, the programmer will simply throw out the old computer and get a fresh one out the box and proceed to download the same programs unto the brand new computer. (Please click links: http://www.presstv.ir/detail/175100.html) (http://educate-yourself.org/mc/)

The core essence of mind control is traumatic exposure plus repetition that results in the desired fixation of the victim by the programmer.  The programmer produces a vessel that will carry out the exact dictates of the programmer whenever the programmer initiates the triggering mechanism.  Early exposure to pornography and subsequent repetition of masturbation while viewing pornography will create a pornographic mind control victim who is fixated on the activity of sex and sexual organs.  The initial excitement of viewing pornography at a young age serves as the exposure – there is a thrill factor of seeing and hearing something new to the developing brain.  The combination of visual and auditory stimulation through the graphic images and sounds of pornography, along with the physical excitement through masturbation in response to the visual and auditory inputs results in the release of brain chemicals which produce a feeling of euphoria that becomes addictive, leading to repetition of the activity.  When pornography repetitively serves as the trigger for the release of certain brain chemicals (oxytocin/ vasopressin/ dopamine), the brain literally establishes brain patterns, causing certain synapses (connections between neurons through which "information" flows from one neuron to another/ establishes communication lines between a neurotransmitter and neuroreceptor) in the brain to become sealed and solidified so to speak – establishing life long patterns of thinking known as strongholds (http://www.mind.ilstu.edu/curriculum/neurons_intro/neurons_intro.php). The body undergoes specific physical reactions that are customized to the specific inputs that the brain repetitively processed to establish that particular pattern of thinking.

When repetition sets in as a pattern, you get an addiction; at the point addiction is established the mind control programming is complete. The programmer Satan can now summons up the captivated soul of that victim to do his bidding whenever he chooses to.  This is the same thing that happens to a drug addict, the very first high hooks the bait, causing the victim to come back again and again, until finally and addiction is established and solidified.  The release of dopamine while viewing pornography and masturbating serves as a narcotic that provides a high, putting the brain in an altered state of consciousness. Sex is perverted into a medium of Satan's sorcery to drive man out of his senses. The brain chemical dopamine serves as the hypnotic drug that induces the viewer into this altered state of consciousness. (http://yourbrainonporn.com/about-this-site)( http://www.reuniting.info/science/sex_in_the_brain)

One of the major problems with perverting the act of sex into a narcotic is that an insatiable tolerance becomes established.  One might start out smoking marijuana at the age of 15, but by the age of 25 they have moved on to crystal meth and crack cocaine because the appetite of the demon has grown out of control due to the level of dopamine that is now required to satiate the ever growing demonic appetite.  When sex becomes a drug that controls the dictates of the mind, the mind of that human operates pornographically twenty four seven, whether awake or sleeping.  The pornographic mind now filters nearly everything they come in contact with through the programming they have undergone through pornographic mind control. Every human (and sometimes animals) is now objectified and downgraded to body parts, no longer seen as a human being. The tragedy is the pornographic mind control victim will see every human including their significant other as just another porno-clip.  Once that porno-clip has been processed through the CPU of their pornographic mind, it loses its luster and appeal, and the CPU now seeks to move on to the next porno-clip. The chances of establishing sincere intimacy and sexual satisfaction in marriage are null and void.
