Chapter Summary

 

The Process of Spirit Birth

       With a cautious glance, Joey knocked his glass to the floor. Gleefully he watched as the glass shattered, milk splattering across the kitchen. In came daddy Fred. “What happened here Joey?” he demanded. “Did you throw your glass down on purpose?”

       “Yes Dad, it was fun,” replied Joey with a guilty grin.

       “I’m very upset with you,” said Dad. “For your callous, voluntary rebellion and disobedience, I am going to spank Frank, your older brother! That should teach you a lesson!”

       This is the nonsense of Organized Christianity. You sinned so God spanked Jesus. Jesus gains nothing from his anguish and you go free. These inane ideas are the cataracts of spiritual vision, the preposterous fables, that have shackled man’s spiritual hope since the fourth century.

       Is Jesus an appendage of God who came to earth as your whipping boy? Did God fiendishly beat Jesus for your sins and give him nothing in return? If God is all powerful, why did he send Jesus to pain, humiliation, and death? Why couldn’t Jesus simply come to earth as a glistening God and rule the creation with a rod of iron?

       Is it possible that Jesus needed the earthly, Adamic experience to become the limitless, loving, omnipotent deity that he is today? And what do you stand to gain from the bewildering travail of earth? The answer lies in God’s spectacular process of spiritual birth. As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

       God wants children. He has been alone for eons, making plans and preparing for the day that he might share his character, his deity, and his throne, with his own offspring. The glory of God is reserved for his own Sons; it can be shared only with those who are born in his own image. Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons.

       In the garden of Eden, God reaffirmed ten times that everything brings forth after its own kind. The only way to get a giraffe is to start with a giraffe. When a lion has a baby, the baby is a lion also. Chickens can have only chicks because everything brings forth after its own kind. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

       So also, the only way to get a Son of God, is to start with God. And if God has a child, that child will grow up to be a God also, just like his Father. Unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. This is the purpose of Christianity, and God is even now bringing forth these offspring.

       The infinite wisdom of God has prescribed a particular method for the birth of his children. This method is clearly illustrated by the birth process that God devised for man. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made.

       The formation of every human child is accomplished in three steps: conception, gestation, and birth. At conception, a male cell and a female cell combine to initiate a brand new life. At the moment of conception, God dispatches a spirit to fill the newly forming body. The presence of this spirit is the definition of human life. The body without the spirit is dead.

       When the body dies the process is reversed. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Thus Adamic life begins in the womb, at conception. Why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

       Conception is a momentary occurrence. As a bolt of lightning it strikes and life appears. At conception an embryo is formed that enfolds every promise of becoming a new, independent, human being, but it is not yet able to survive outside the womb.

       After conception, gestation begins. Gestation is an interval of time devoted solely to maturing the new child. All through this period of time the babe is active, asserting itself, expressing itself, and experiencing the growth process.

       During gestation the child develops his body parts, systems, and senses, preparing for eventualities that he does not fully understand. Why must he grow eyes while living in darkness? Why does he need lungs while living under water? What a seemingly senseless waste of energy!

       Gestation occurs in the increasingly cramped confines of mother’s belly, where light is a dim glow and voices are muffled. This is a time of expectancy, wherein hope presses to prepare for some unseen, unknown destiny. Though the child is daily involved with the process, it is completely beyond his control.

       After nine months of increasing dissatisfaction, the new child is ready for birth. It is a frightful realization, discovered only at the last moment, that all his finest preparations have only brought the child to anguish. Ironically, the larger he grew, the more pain he now suffers.

       The birth process is the subjection to overwhelming, even gruesome, external forces. While conception is wonderful, and gestation seems long, the birth process is painful. The same soft warm walls of mommy’s tummy that had protected and cradled the child, now suddenly hate him. Slam, thud! His head crashes into a tube that is only half the size required for passage. By intense external pressure, the child is squeezed, warped, pushed, and forced into a new world.

       The birth process ejects the child into a new realm with sunlight and air. All the gestation period was spent preparing to operate in this new environment. The umbilical cord is cut, and the child becomes an autonomous new source of human life. If the gestation was successful, the child is now fully equipped to live and prosper in his new world. Then suddenly the long months of preparation don’t seem so pointless, as the eyes see and the lungs breathe.

 

The Process of Physical Birth

 

 

Conception

Gestation

Birth

A momentary occurrence.

A period of time spent in development.

A brief interval of transition.

Initiated by the joining of male and female cells. Adamic life begins. A spirit from God occupies the newly forming body.

The infant grows to maturity inside his mother’s womb. During this time he is sustained by an umbilical cord.

The new child emerges from his watery womb and enters a new, permanent realm, as an autonomous life source.

 

       Spiritually this process is identical. The birth of a new spirit being requires a spiritual conception, gestation, and birth. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

       According to the Bible, every Adamic person is born spiritually “feminine.” My soul shall make her boast in the LORD. That is why human beings are called the “bride” of Christ. A bride has the ability to reproduce a child, if she first obtains the seed of life from her husband. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. So also, the feminine spirit in you has the ability to reproduce a Son of God. And it will, if you first obtain the masculine seed of life from Jesus Christ. Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail.

       Without the seed of life from Jesus Christ, every human will remain spiritually feminine, and this is the state of spiritual death. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. As a feminine spirit only, you do not possess the source of eternal life. You are not an independent, self-sustaining, spirit being. You are only a feminine spirit living in a physical body. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

       As you traverse your days on planet earth, you will eventually come to Jesus Christ, and yield to him, as an adoring bride to a benevolent husband. When this happens, a life transfer will take place. Your feminine spirit will receive the masculine seed of spiritual life that was perfected in Jesus Christ. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

       This new seed is the male half of God’s spirit. Like the joining of two cells, his spirit will combine with your spirit and conception will occur. This combination makes you a new spirit being, an embryonic Son of God. He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Your spiritual “life” begins with the joining of these two spirit cells. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

       Spiritual conception is a wonderful experience. Your spirit is jolted with a new spiritual awareness, and you become a new spirit being that did not exist before. Ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Your new infant spirit is an entirely new life source. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. It has within itself the spiritual genetics of autonomous immortality. The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. It enfolds every promise of becoming a new, independent Son of God, but it is not yet able to survive outside the womb. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be.

       After conception, gestation begins. Spiritual Gestation is a period of time devoted solely to maturing the new spirit life within you. During gestation your spirit Son is prepared for his new permanent environment. He develops the systems and senses that he will require for later success. Throughout this process he is educated, and strengthened, all the while growing and reveling in a fresh new existence. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.

       Spiritual gestation takes place inside your Adamic body, while dwelling in the good & evil of planet earth. This arrangement is the womb for the Sons of God. The womb of the morning.

       While confined to planet earth, your spirit encounters the conditions and nutrients it needs for proper growth. You experience the good of life and revelation, and also the evil of confusion and rebellion. While breathing air on earth, you are subject to Satanic power. The time that you spend subject to the temptations of Satan, is the time of your spiritual gestation. The prince of the power of the air.

       During gestation your spirit is dominated by the world, your physical body, and a cursed Adamic nature. Through this veil of flesh the light of God’s word is dim, and his voice muffled. For now we see through a glass, darkly.

       As the new Son of God within you begins to grow he is nurtured by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit is a lifeline, or umbilical cord, to your Heavenly Father. Via this conduit, nutrients, truth, and revelation are pumped to your spirit.

       As you pursue your gestation the heavenly realms are slowly made visible to you. Beginning as a faint glow, the truth of God’s plan begins to open up, beaming ever brighter to illumine your destiny. Now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

       As your spirit develops in power it gradually takes control of your physical body, and begins to eradicate the carnality. This process is facilitated by the afflictions of daily life. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. As the Adamic nature falls upon sorrow, the carnal mind is crucified, and your spirit matured. In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children.

       As a chick in the shell must consume the white and the yolk, so also the developing spirit in you must feed on the destruction of your own cursed Adamic nature. In the heat of earthly trials, your spirit will rend the veil of carnality, becoming an Overcomer in the process. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 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.

       Each hour the spirit Son within you presses the battle for deliverance from the increasingly cramped confines of Adam. In expectant fervor he craves for the birth, to see his Father, and enter his timeless domain. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven.

       This is the drama of the earthly experience. It is a contest of time, a race against death. You must complete your gestation and reach a state if spiritual maturity, prior to your exit from the womb of planet earth. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

       When your body dies, spiritual gestation ends. Your spirit is then separated from your body and departs the womb. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. The spirit then enters a brief state of sleep. But thou go thy way to the end, and thou shalt rest, and shalt rise to thy lot at the end of the days. Daniel 12:13 (Emphasized). All the Sons of God will be matured in physical bodies of flesh, and then rest until the glorious gathering. How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? ... And it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

       The rewards of spiritual perfection are obtained during earthly life, but they are not conferred until the resurrection. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day. The resurrection of the Sons of God cannot occur until all the firstborn Sons have had the chance to complete their spiritual gestation. God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Resurrection is the act of spirit birth. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

      

The Process of Spirit Birth

Conception

Gestation

Birth

A momentary occurrence.

A period of time spent in development.

A brief interval of transition.

Initiated when God’s masculine spirit unites with your feminine spirit. Spiritual life begins.

The Son of God within you is matured as the carnal nature is consumed. Umbilical cord is the Holy Spirit.

The new spirit Son exits the physical body and departs the womb. At the First Resurrection he enters the Begotten Realm.

 

       As you can see, the birth of God’s Sons takes place in two phases: first the natural, then the spiritual. First a person must undergo physical conception, gestation, and birth. This initial process will make him a physical child of Adam, living on planet earth. After this first step is complete, the spiritual phase can begin.

       The second phase is spiritual conception, gestation, and birth. This second, spiritual process, will transform an Adamite into a new spirit being, a Son of God. This two step, natural-then-spiritual process, is required for every spirit birth. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

       A Son of God must first be born as an earthy human being. Being found in fashion as a man, only then is he afforded the opportunity to become a Son of God. The first man is of the ground, earthy, the second man is of heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:47 (Emphasized). Without the first physical phase, there can be no second, spiritual phase. According to the promise of God, the earthy must come first, only then to be followed by the heavenly. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

       The result of this two step process is that a child of Adam is transformed into a new spirit being, a spiritually begotten Son of God. This is not a euphemistic allegory. It is reality in the spirit realm. As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

       These two phases of spirit birth were plainly stated by the Lord Jesus. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. This process is an irrevocable law, and this law applied even to Jesus himself. This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.

       The two step birth process requires two conceptions, two gestations, and two births: first the natural, then the spiritual. As the firstborn Son of God, Jesus was the first to demonstrate this principle, being born first naturally, and then spiritually.

       God conceived the natural life of Jesus in Mary’s womb. There he grew through nine months of physical gestation and eventually came to his physical birth at Bethlehem. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

       Later, God conceived the masculine spiritual life of Jesus Christ, timing it to occur in conjunction with his baptism at the Jordan river. And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

       Any way you cut it, Jesus was overshadowed by the power of God twice. The first time was in Mary’s womb, and the second time was at the Jordan river. At this second, spiritual conception, Jesus Christ became a living spirit being. Both these conceptions are required to produce a spiritually begotten Son of God, and this fact was plainly stated by Jesus himself. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

       As the pattern Son, the spiritual begetting of Jesus Christ must necessarily represent a process that you are capable of duplicating. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. As the firstborn Son, Jesus Christ adhered to a formula that you too must follow. The same scriptures that apply to you, applied also to him. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame.

       Jesus Christ is the firstborn among many brothers. He is the prototype, the “proof of concept.” His experience demonstrates the wisdom of God, which applies equally to all the Sons of God. His spiritual begetting is a blueprint for immortality, both his and yours. If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

       The earthly process of two conceptions, two gestations, and two births, is the path to perfection. And the resurrection of Jesus Christ remains as the unchangeable evidence that the process really works. Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. You are expected to complete the same process. Till we all come ... unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

       The earthly sojourn of Jesus Christ was not a senseless beating for which he received no reward. His travail on earth was his passage to power. By the two step birth process he completed a spiritual begetting, and was made worthy to inherit the helm of creation. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

       By his experience on earth, Jesus became the glorious, limitless, immortal deity that he is today. And anyone who completes the same process, will find himself begotten of God, just like Jesus Christ. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

The Coming of Elohim

       Before Jesus came to earth he lived as a glorious being in the spirit realm. In this pre-existent state he was a distinct, identifiable personality, a member of the “Elohim.”

       Elohim is a Hebrew word meaning “God.” In the Old Testament, Elohim was translated “God” more than 2,300 times. Elohim denotes the “substance of deity.”

       Elohim is a title; it is not a personal name. It is not “Yahweh.” Elohim is not even a single entity. The Hebrew word Elohim is both plural and feminine. The Elohim is a group of many individual members. Just as your heart is a living portion of your body, and yet is composed of millions of individual cells, so also the Elohim is composed of many members. Each is a discrete spirit, the substance of deity, and a living portion of God.

       Elohim is the group of spirits that comprise the “feminine,” or creative aspect of God. Elohim is the reproductive center of his creative power. Just as a natural woman is the creator of children, so also the Elohim created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heaven and the earth.

       In the garden of Eden the Elohim group is symbolized by Eve. Eve was initially a part of Adam, but she was removed from Adam, and she then possessed the power to reproduce Adam. So also the spirits of Elohim were part of God, but some have been removed from God, and these spirits possess the ability to reproduce God. For Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs.

       As illustrated by Adam and Eve, God has removed some of the feminine Elohim spirits from himself, to initiate his own reproduction. These individual spirits are composed of deity. They possess the feminine half of God’s spiritual DNA. This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.

       When Eve rejoined with Adam, the result was the birth of children. So also, when the feminine spirits of Elohim combine with the masculine spirit of Yahweh, they will become his begotten Sons.

       These individual spirits of Elohim, God placed into Adamic bodies on planet earth. Every child of Adam is a feminine spirit of Elohim made flesh. This was affirmed by Jesus Christ himself. I have said, Ye are gods (Elohim); and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men (Adam), and fall like one of the princes. (Psalm 82:6,7, and quoted by Jesus in John 10:34.)

 

 

       The spirits of Elohim are as ancient as God himself. At the beginning of time, God’s wisdom played with those spirits, who would one day become the sons of Adam. When He fixed His decree for the land, I was there with delight, day by day. I rejoiced in His presence the while; I rejoiced in the circling of earth, and rejoiced in the children of men (Adam)! Proverbs 8:29-31 (Fenton).

       God devised a plan for the Elohim to be individually lowered into Adamic bodies, processed as humans on earth, and returned to the heavens in glory. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.

       While on earth, the Elohim would be radically altered by a new spiritual conception. And being matured, they would grow into the likeness of God himself. And I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. When the members of Elohim heard that they were to become begotten as the Sons of God, they became ecstatic. When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.class=" msonormal">       Each spirit of Elohim is individually born onto the earth into an Adamic body of flesh. This requires a physical conception, gestation, and birth. Whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. This is the first, physical phase of God’s plan to bring forth Sons. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope.

       In the womb of planet earth the feminine spirits of Elohim can combine with the male spirit of God, and conceive to become a brand new spirit being. This new spirit child is the Son of God. After conception, this Son possesses both the male and female genetics of God’s spiritual DNA.

       These spirit Sons must then complete a difficult gestation in the good and evil of earth. During this time their development will follow their genetic code, and when their maturity is complete, they will have reproduced their Father’s character.

       These Sons will come to their spiritual birth at the First Resurrection. At this celestial event, they will be born into the fulness of their Father’s capacity. This is the second, spiritual phase that completes God’s plan to bring forth Sons.

       By the wisdom of God’s two step birth process, the spirits of Elohim have been lowered into Adamic mortality, to be born a second time as the offspring of God. We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour.

       Each spirit of Elohim originated from a glorious existence in God. As they are born upon the earth, they lay-off their pre-existent glory and are suddenly slammed into faltering bodies of Adamic decay. This is quite a shock, but this same frightful experience has happened to each of the Elohim-Adamites. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

       During this dark process the surety of God’s constant doting care is their only comfort, and the promise of their ultimate success. Behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

       For the Elohim, the brief travail of earth is the path to eternal glory. It is their passage to power. You Who have shown us all, troubles great and sore, will quicken us again and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. Psalm 71:20 (Amplified). The earthly experience is painful, but the reward is incalculable. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

       In the ages past, Jesus was the Captain of the Elohim company. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. Jesus is “God,” he is “Elohim,” he is “deity,” but he is not “Yahweh.” Jesus is not his own Father. In his pre-existent state, Jesus was a distinct, living portion of God. He was the commander of God’s creative power. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

       Being in charge of the Elohim group, Jesus supervised the creation of all things. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In this exalted state, Jesus dwelt in majestic distinction with explosive authority. But even so, at that time Jesus possessed only the feminine (Elohim) half of his Father.

       Since Jesus originated from the Elohim company, all the spirits of Elohim are his brothers. After the Elohim began to be born upon the earth as Adamites, it was necessary that Jesus himself should also go through the Adamic experience. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same. Jesus came to earth because his brothers were already here. Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren. Jesus and you were brothers, before either one of you ever came to this planet. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren.

       Every Adamite is Elohim, the creative word of God, made flesh. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Jesus and his Elohim brethren share a common origin and a common destiny. For both he that sanctifieth [Jesus] and they who are sanctified [you] are all of one [God]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.

       Jesus was not always the firstbegotten Son of God. In the ages before time, his begetting was planned as a future event. I will become His Father, and He shall become my Son. Hebrews 1:6 (Williams). Jesus was “foreordained” before the world, not “begotten” before the world. Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.

       Jesus was predestinated to become the firstborn Son of God. As Elohim captain, he was ordained to become the firstborn of the Elohim-Adamite company. For whom he did foreknow [Jesus], he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Jesus was chosen to be the first of the Elohim to pass completely through the earthly process, entering into the fulness of the Father at his resurrection. This makes him the pattern Son for all who will follow. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

       The experience of Adamic spiritual death is the starting place for the begotten Sons of God. Had Jesus not first experienced Adamic death, he could not have become the firstbegotten Son. Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead.

       Jesus was the prototype for the Elohim company. God used his victorious resurrection to develop a masculine spiritual “seed” that contained all the genetics of an Overcomer. This seed could then be planted into all the Elohim brothers. Once they obtain this perfect seed of life, all the Elohim-Adamites are empowered to follow after the firstborn Son, and become the spiritually begotten Sons of God. As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The Restoration of Eden

       The Elohim-Adamites had inhabited the earth for 4,000 years, when Jesus finally arrived on the scene. His coming was a long awaited promise of old. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

       God made careful arrangements for the physical conception of Jesus. At the proper time he selected the virgin Mary and conceived the body of Jesus inside her womb. Joseph was not the father of Jesus. In fact Joseph was so shocked by Mary’s pregnancy, that he thought to divorce her. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

       But, if Joseph had been the father of Jesus, his role would have been to supply a physical sperm to initiate conception. Since Joseph was not involved, God himself supplied this single missing ingredient. God supernaturally placed a physical sperm inside Mary’s womb. This is how children are made. The child Jesus was then conceived, and God was his Father. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

       When Jesus was conceived inside Mary, God dispatched a spirit to inhabit the newly forming body. This spirit was the Captain of the Elohim. After a gestation of nine months, the child Jesus was born as an Adamite on planet earth.

       When the infant Jesus was born of Mary, he was not a spiritually begotten Son of God. Nor was he Yahweh. He was a spirit of Elohim, dwelling in a physical, Adamic body, that had been supernaturally conceived. Immanuel means, “El or Elohim with us.”

       The physical birth of Jesus was only the first half of his spiritual begetting. The child Jesus still needed to accomplish a spiritual conception, gestation, and birth, before he would be fully born as the immortal and omnipotent Son of God that he is today. The two step process of spiritual birth was required for him, just as it is required for you.

       To comprehend the infant Jesus, you must understand the garden of Eden. Eden was a physical and historical place, but it is also an allegory that symbolizes the composition of Adamic man. Adam was formed from dust, and he represents the physical body. Eve came out from Adam, and she represents the feminine spirit of man, a spirit from the Elohim group. Nachash (the serpent) represents the mind of man with his human desires and animal nature.

       At the fall of Adam, God placed a curse on the physical body. Since Adam had been made from the dust of the earth, this curse was directed to the “ground.” And unto Adam he said, ... cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. The curse of God made the Adamic body a producer of physical ailments, disease, old age, and death. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee, ... till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

       God also placed a curse on Nachash, the mind of man and his human, fleshly nature. By this curse, the mind of man became the lowest, most depraved animal in existence. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go. The mind of Adam became the “carnal” mind. Of all the animals on earth, only the carnal mind of man is capable of unbelief, blasphemy, and perversion. By this curse unto wickedness, the mind of man was made enmity against God. The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

       The carnal mind is the seat of human sin. As Nachash introduced sin into the garden of Eden, so the carnal mind is the hustler that brings sin into your life. This conduit for Satanic evil originates the desires that result in the depravity of man. You, however, were once alienated and estranged, through your mind being addicted to the practice of vice. Colossians 1:21 (Fenton).

       In Eden, the malignant carnal mind was given authority over the physical body (the dust), to steer it to destruction. Thus the body became “snake food.” Dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. The carnal mind was also made the constant enemy of the spirit. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed. Your spirit is now locked in a battle to the death with the carnal mind. Spiritual maturity can only be achieved by the destruction of this loathsome adversary.

       To Eve (the feminine spirit), God made a promise that as the result of earthly travail, she would bring forth a new creature. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children. Earthly sorrow was made the prerequisite for childbirth. This applies to both physical and spirit children. The spirit was also made a slave to the endless demands of the physical body. And thy desire shall be to thy husband [Adam], and he shall rule over thee.

       The fall of man in the garden of Eden was accomplished when both Nachash and Adam physically inseminated Eve. This was a direct violation of God’s command. 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.

       When Nachash inseminated Eve it resulted in a curse against Nachash (the carnal mind). When Adam inseminated Eve it resulted in a curse against Adam (a sickly body). These two are the “curses of Eden.”

       The curses of Eden were placed on the “father,” rather than the mother. And since that time these curses have been transmitted through the father of every child. Every baby born from a human father since Eden has inherited these curses from his dad. Not with corruptible things, with silver or gold have ye been redeemed from your unmeaning behavior paternally handed down, but with precious blood as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One. 1 Peter 1:18 (Emphasized).

       Now consider this: what if God had physically inseminated Eve, a virgin? Would there have been a curse on the offspring? Did God’s prohibition to Adam, apply also to God himself? Is it not lawful for God to do as he likes with his own creation?

       God is not a man, and the curses of Eden do not exist in him. If he for some reason decided to supernaturally inseminate a female virgin, the curses of Eden would not be transmitted. There would be no curse on the offspring.

       This was accomplished in the virgin Mary. God placed a physical sperm inside Mary’s womb. A physical sperm from God does not carry the curses of Edenic failure. The physical sperm that God placed into Mary, produced a child born without the curses of Eden.

       Since Jesus did not have a human father, he was born with a body, a spirit, and a mind, but these three were not depraved. They were not enslaved to iniquity. Jesus was not cursed by his Father. The body of Jesus did not bring forth thorns and thistles. The mind of Jesus was not at enmity against God. And the spirit of Jesus was not subservient to the voracious demands of his body. The child Jesus was physically conceived as the restoration of Edenic perfection. He was what Adam was, prior to his failure and fall in Eden.

       Adam was the first spirit of Elohim to be made flesh, but he was subjected to sin by the wisdom of God. Having fallen in the garden of Eden, Adam passed on this trait of failure to all his offspring.

       When God brought Jesus into the world, he simply by-passed this genetic flaw. Having no Adamic father, Jesus did not have a Satanic carnal mind, and the curses of Eden did not exist in him. God supernaturally conceived Jesus in Mary’s womb, for the express purpose of undoing the “failure” in Eden. It remained for Jesus to walk the same path that Adam walked, but this time to avoid mistakes. The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

       To further ensure the perfection of this plan, God bathed Jesus in an additional, unlimited quantity of the Holy Spirit. For God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. Jesus was given the doting attention, protection, and instruction, of the seven spirits of God. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD.

 

 

       Jesus was the restoration of Edenic perfection. By his virgin birth he reversed the curses of Eden’s failure and was born a perfect man. When Jesus came out of Mary’s belly, he was not Yahweh, the Father, neither was he a full, spiritually begotten Son. He was not yet all the fullness of God. He was a man, born without the curses of Eden, and energized by the Holy Spirit.

       Consider the following five criteria that the child Jesus had to fulfill:

       1.  He had to be born a man.

       2.  He had to be made like unto his brethren.

       3.  He had to be sinless.

       4.  He had to be born spiritually “dead.”

       5.  He had to be spiritually begotten by a process that you

            can follow.

1.    Jesus had to be born a man.

       An Adamic man is more than just a physical body. He is a combination of body and spirit. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Moses said that Jesus would be born as a man. The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken. For this to be true, Jesus had to have both the body and spirit of an Adamic man. If Jesus came out of Mary’s womb as Yahweh, or as all the fullness of God, he was nothing like Moses.

       In the New Testament, Jesus is called the “the Son of man” exactly 88 times. Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? When Jesus was born from the virgin Mary he was an Adamic man in body and spirit. He was the Captain of the Elohim, conceived from a supernaturally created physical sperm, and thus born without the curses of Eden. [He] made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. He was an Adamite in every respect, save only that his mind was not enmity to his Father. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

       It was the sinless man Adam that plunged the world into carnality. So also, it was the sinless man Jesus that reversed the process. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

2.    Jesus had to be made like unto his brethren.

       Jesus had brothers before he came to earth. When he arrived on the earth, he came as an emissary from the Father, with a mission to his brothers. Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren. Jesus was in all things, “made like unto his brethren” on the earth. This means that he had to be a spirit from the Elohim group, dwelling in a physical body. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren. If the infant Jesus was Yahweh, or if he was all the fullness of God, then he was never made like unto his brothers.

       The only difference between Jesus’ birth and yours, is that he lacked a human father. Since God was his physical Father, Jesus lacked the curses of Eden.

       But Jesus did not escape these curses forever. For just as Adam picked them up in the garden of Eden, so also, Jesus willingly took them in the garden of Gethsemane. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin. Jesus himself stated that this would be accomplished at the end of his life. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors.

       At Gethsemane Jesus took the curses of Eden, and at Calvary he killed them. Three days later he came to his resurrection and became the first of his Elohim-Adamite brothers to pass completely through the process for spirit birth. That he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

       According to God’s own word, Jesus is your brother. This is a mandatory requirement for him to be your King. Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. Jesus is the firstborn of a new race of beings, the first of what you shall one day become.

3.    Jesus had to be sinless.

       The carnal mind is the seat of sin and the source of man’s depravity. This mind is sinful by definition. It is at enmity with God, even when it is sleeping. This mind does not have to “do” anything to be evil, it simply is evil. You were a sinner on the day you were born. When you grew up and committed sinful deeds, you simply found out about it. The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth.

       Jesus Christ had to be born sinless only an unblemished lamb was an acceptable sacrifice for Passover. Thus Jesus could not have had the carnal mind or the curses of Eden at his birth. This would have made him sin, whether he committed any evil actions or not. It also would have placed his mind at enmity to his Father.

       But Jesus was never at enmity to his Father. He did not have any internal conflict. He never had a sinful thought. His spirit was not at war with his mind, as is the case with you. He did not have any depraved or evil desires that he labored to overcome they simply were not there. The Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

       Jesus was supernaturally conceived to be a man born without the curses of Eden. Only in this way could he have remained a sinless sacrifice. At the end of his life, Jesus did finally gain the experience of sin, when he voluntarily took upon himself the curses of Eden. But in that voluntary action, he still was not guilty of any transgression- for he did it willingly, and in obedience to his Father’s request. Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

4.    Jesus had to be born spiritually “dead.”

       Like you, the child Jesus was born with a feminine spirit from the Elohim group, and this is the state of spiritual “death.” But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death.

       Jesus began suffering “death” when he was born in the manger. If Jesus had been an immortal “masculine” spirit in the manger, then he would have skipped the phase of spiritual death. But this first stage of feminine, spiritual death, was required for him to become the firstbegotten “of the dead.” Jesus was “resurrected” from the grave, but he was “begotten” from the spiritually dead. Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.

5.    Jesus had to be spiritually begotten by a process that you can follow.

       If a virgin birth is required to produce a spiritually begotten Son of God, then Jesus Christ would be the only one. There would be no way for anyone to duplicate his accomplishment.

       But Jesus is not going to be the only spiritually begotten Son of God. He is simply the firstborn of many. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Each of these Sons will be begotten of God, by the process that Jesus demonstrated. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God.

       Jesus Christ was not born in the manger as a little God he was born as a sinless man. During his time on earth he “was made” perfect, and then “became” the author of salvation. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation.

       Jesus Christ was begotten by the two step, natural-then-spiritual, death-then-life, birth process. This blueprint for spiritual begetting was devised and instituted by God, and it is a process that you too can follow.For even hereunto were ye called: ... that ye should follow his steps.

       Jesus Christ is the pattern for Sonship. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. You are expected to emulate his decisions and actions. As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. Those who wish to become what Jesus Christ is, must complete the same process of spiritual begetting that he demonstrated. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be.

       Jesus was not an immortal God in Mary’s womb, and he did not do it all for you. Rather, he was your Brother in the Elohim, and he made it possible for you to follow his example. He blazed the trail to Sonship for all his Elohim-Adamite brethren. Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

       Those who refuse to see Jesus Christ as a pattern that must be followed, will never come to the immortality of Sonship. Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. This path began, for him and for you, with the two step, natural-then-spiritual, process of spirit birth.

 

*       *      *      *       *

       After eons of planning, Jesus the Captain of the Elohim, was finally born onto the earth. This great event completed the first step in his perfecting: his physical conception, gestation, and birth.

       Jesus was born at Bethlehem which means “house of bread,” for Jesus was to become the “bread of life” for all his Elohim brothers. Thus Mary laid him in a manger, where the livestock are typically fed. And laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

       The inn which refused to house Jesus Christ represents the established religious structure of his day. There was no room for Jesus in the traditional religious rituals of man, and the situation is the same today. There is no room for the begetting of God’s Sons amongst the carnal doctrines of Modern Christianity. The riotous, the selfish, the adulterous, and the haughty, can all get clean sheets every Sunday. But the Sons of God will be birthed from young virgins, squatting in a barn.

       Most of the Elohim who live upon the earth are ravenously driven by their Adamic heritage, the curses of Eden. Their feet are swift to sin, their minds clouded with Satanic infusion.

       Jesus did not have this problem. Without the fallen Adamic nature, the young Jesus was raised in sinless peace and obedience. And he went down with them [his parents], and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them.

       As a boy, the spirit of Jesus was the same as for all his Elohim brethren. This can be seen by comparing his development with that of John the Baptist. Jesus: The child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. John the Baptist: The child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. The spiritual condition of these two boys was the same, and neither had all the fullness of God.

       As a child, Jesus recognized that there was more to him than just the physical boy of Nazareth. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? Thus he spent his time wondering about his destiny, and searching the mysteries of the spirit realm. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

       As an adolescent, Jesus was still spiritually incomplete, and his neighbors later testified of this. They were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? Except for the absence of sin, Jesus’ formative years were similar to yours. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

       Jesus lived with the same limitations as you, until his thirtieth birthday. Jesus was the Captain of the Elohim, made flesh. And about him swirled the plan of God, to bring forth begotten Sons.

Spiritual Conception

       As Jesus approached thirty years of age the anointing of God fell on his cousin, John the Baptist. Once again the thriving work of God bypassed the established church structure of the day. Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

       John’s teaching was an amazing departure from the Levitical Law that had been practiced for 1,400 years. John preached a new doctrine, one of individual perfection. No longer did people have to wait for the yearly, national atonement of sins by the Levitical high priest. John taught that soon, each individual person would be enabled to enter into a new spiritual habitation. This new spirit realm he called the “Kingdom of Heaven.” In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, and saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

       The doorway to this astounding kingdom, or state of being, was symbolized by water baptism. And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

       It has long been assumed that the baptism of Jesus was nothing more than an anointing for his ministry. But water baptism is not a symbol of impending ministry. It is the symbol of new life. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. The people that John baptized were not hoping for a ministry. They were drawn to the hope of spiritual immortality. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

       When Jesus came to the Jordan river to be baptized, John said, I have need to be baptized of thee. Was John needing an anointing for ministry? No, in fact, John already had an anointing from God for his earthly ministry. John was not asking for a ministry, he was yearning for spiritual life.

       Water baptism symbolizes spiritual conception, the acquisition of spirit life by individual men and women. This is the only possible entrance into Sonship. John called it the “Kingdom of Heaven.” And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

       At thirty years old, Jesus came to the Jordan river to be baptized by John. Jesus had been led to this precise instant to fulfill his destiny at the crossroads of time. And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.

       As Jesus waded from the Jordan river, the masculine spirit of God overshadowed him. At that moment, the feminine spirit in Jesus conceived to the spiritual genetics of his Father, and he became the spiritual Son of God. And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

       Conception is a momentary occurrence, the immediate presence of new life, and the beginning of gestation. But unlike you, Jesus did not have the curses of Eden operating in his life, and he was not clouded by the Satanic influence of the carnal mind. At his spiritual conception there was no fleshly “veil” to block his vision, and the heavenly realms simply opened to his spirit. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him.

       The English word born has been translated from the Greek word, gennao. Gennao is frequently misunderstood and normally means, “to be born; to be begotten.” Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born (gennao) of thee shall be called the Son of God.

       But gennao is much broader than just natural “birth.” Gennao can be spiritual as well as physical. Which were born (gennao), not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Gennao is the inception of physical or spirit life, the infusion of a new beginning. For in Christ Jesus I have begotten (gennao) you through the gospel. Thus gennao can also mean “conception,” and every conception is the beginning of a new life. Fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived (gennao) in her is of the Holy Ghost.

       When gennao occurs, a new life is suddenly present, where none existed previously. With a spiritual gennao, you become a new spirit being, a new entity “conceived” of God. This is what happened to Jesus at his baptism. He conceived to immortal perfection and entered the realm of Sonship. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born (gennao) when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born (gennao)?

       John had prophesied that the Kingdom of Heaven (Sonship), was at hand, and Jesus proved it. At his baptism, Jesus conceived a new spirit life and entered the spiritual realm called the Kingdom of God. This kingdom can only be accessed by a second, spiritual birth. Jesus then testified of what had happened inside him. He spoke from his own experience. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born (gennao) again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

       Jesus suddenly realized that after a man is born of flesh, he must then be born of the spirit. That which is born (gennao) of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born (gennao) of the Spirit is spirit. Jesus said that without a second, spiritual conception, no man can enter the habitation called “the Kingdom of God,” and this applied even to himself. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born (gennao) of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

       At his spiritual conception, Jesus made the first incursion into the Kingdom of Heaven. He opened the matrix. Prior to his baptism, this spiritual habitation was not available to the people of planet earth. Sonship and the Kingdom of Heaven first became a reality, only after Jesus was baptized by John. And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force as a precious prize. Matthew 11:12 (Amplified).

 

 

       A single birth by an earth woman does not produce a spiritually begotten Son of God. It takes two births, by the water and by the spirit. Jesus was born of the water when he was born of God through the virgin Mary. That conception produced the physical Son of God. That physical body was then filled by a feminine spirit, the Captain of the Elohim. Jesus then grew in favor and stature as the sinless boy from Nazareth.

       Later at the Jordan river, the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus a second time. This was the masculine spirit of God which joined with the feminine spirit in Jesus. This second, spiritual conception, made Jesus a living spirit being and ushered him in to the spiritual Kingdom of Heaven. Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

       God was the Father of Jesus two times, once at physical conception, and again at spiritual conception. Both times Jesus was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. It is this second conception that produces a spiritually begotten Son of God. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

       Jesus was first called “Christ,” only after his baptism at the Jordan river. Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. In the genealogy of Matthew 1:1-17, Jesus of Nazareth is counted as the forty-first generation. But Jesus “Christ” is listed as the forty-second generation. And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

       When Jesus became “Christ,” he was counted as an entirely new generation. This could only be accomplished by a new conception within him. The number forty-two, is six times seven, which represents “man perfected.” At the Jordan river, the man Jesus was perfected as he conceived and became Christ. This made him a new creature, and he was counted as a new generation.

       Later, Jesus spoke to his disciples and explained the tasks they would have to fulfill to accomplish their own spiritual maturity. At that time, his disciples were still spiritually “dead.” They were only feminine spirits dwelling in Adamic bodies. Jesus told them that two major steps remained for their perfection. The first step would be their spiritual conception, and the second step would be their spiritual gestation.

       When Jesus related all this to his disciples, “baptism” symbolized spiritual conception, and the “cup” symbolized gestation. The cup of gestation is the crucifixion process that brings spiritual life to maturity. At that time, Jesus’ conception (baptism) was already accomplished, but his gestation (the cup) was still future. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

       Jesus said that his disciples would copy him exactly, in regard to his spiritual conception and gestation. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with. All of the disciples drank the cup of martyrdom. By trials and afflictions they completed a spiritual gestation and were brought to a state of spiritual maturity.

       But what did baptism symbolize? Did Jesus think that baptism symbolized the disciples’ ministry, or their conception to spirit life? In speaking to spiritually dead Adamites, their acquisition of life was far more important than any ministry. Furthermore, an anointing for ministry would have been disappointing, if applied only to men who remained spiritually dead. Besides this, Jesus said all of his disciples would have his baptism, and yet none of them had his ministry. None of them even approached the magnitude of his miracles or teachings. Some of the disciples had no public ministry at all.

       Baptism does not represent any anointing for ministry. Amazingly, it symbolizes the acquisition of the seed of eternal life. Baptism is spirit conception, and this is what happened to Jesus at the Jordan river. All the disciples copied this baptism exactly, by conceiving to the spiritual life in Christ Jesus, after his resurrection.

Spiritual Gestation

       At spiritual conception, Jesus became an immortal spirit being. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself. But Jesus still needed to grow up. He still needed to complete a gestation, and grow into spiritual maturity.

       Thus began the three and a half years that is commonly called the “ministry” of Jesus Christ. During this time Jesus accomplished the tasks that God gave him, but this was not the true ministry of a manifest Son of God. This ministry was far too narrow in scope. More appropriately, these years should be called the spiritual “maturing” of Jesus Christ. For during these years Jesus completed a gestation and was matured into spiritual perfection.

       The true ministry of Jesus Christ has not yet begun. It will not begin until the start of the Millennium, after all the firstborn Sons of God have been conceived, matured, and birthed, into that corporate ruling council known as the “Body of Christ.” And there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

       As he began his spiritual gestation, Jesus did not possess all knowledge. Of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Jesus still needed to gain an experiential understanding of sin. class=" bibletext">For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin. Jesus still needed to learn obedience. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. Jesus still needed to become agape-love. Greater love (agape) hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jesus still needed to reach spiritual “puberty” the ability to share his immortal life. Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. Even Jesus Christ still needed to become an Overcomer. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame.

       In the garden of Eden, God promised Eve that through suffering she would bring forth a spiritual child. In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children. Spiritual gestation is accomplished only through suffering. In his early years, Jesus had very little suffering in his life. After his conception at Jordan, he still needed the suffering that would bring about the perfecting and maturity of his spirit. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

       During spiritual gestation you are subjected to the evils and tribulations of earth. Planet earth is the womb for the Sons of God, and for the time being, the earth is the province of Satan. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth.

       This environment of Satanic evil has been purposed for the perfecting of those who will join the Body of Christ. The afflictions of earth are the birth pangs for the spirit Sons of God. 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.

       Accordingly, immediately after his spiritual conception, Jesus Christ was directed into Satanic attack. Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. For the next three and a half years, the powers of evil repeatedly came against Jesus. Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? This Satanic adversarial pressure continued unabated, as an instrument of God to sculpt the glory of Jesus’ begotten spirit. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me.

       Finally, it was the evil of Satan that pushed Jesus Christ to the cross. And after the sop Satan entered into him [Judas]. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. Jesus’ spiritual gestation was not complete until he had overcome every form of Satanic evil. That through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.

       The pain of spiritual gestation was an absolute necessity for the maturity of Jesus Christ. By betrayal, denial, scourging, and murder, Jesus trod the path to spiritual perfection. It is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. His suffering was the central purpose of his earthly life. The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. This same anguish was also the ticket to his glorification. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

       For Jesus, the heartache of apparent failure on earth soon became the substance of spiritual strength, and a possession of everlasting spiritual treasure. 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: and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him. The sorrows of earth are the plan of God for spiritual maturity. He saved others; himself he cannot save. For earthly distress is the travail of spirit birth, and the path to resurrection. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.

       Jesus had been both physically and spiritually conceived of God. He was thus empowered to pass every test in sinless obedience. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

       Jesus was born without the curses of Eden. Without the enmity of carnality, Satan had no beachhead, no foothold, no entrance into Jesus’ life. For the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. This was necessary for the prototype Son, for his mission was to perfect a sinless, resurrected spirit seed, that could be planted into his Elohim brothers. Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

       The final battle of every spiritual warrior is to become agape-love. This battle is won by forgiving in the face of betrayal, and by resigning your own will, and plans, and happiness, that another might live. In essence, you set aside sin against you, by a realization that it was purposed for your own maturing. You then forgive the sin, sharing in the responsibility for it, and accepting the consequences upon yourself, that another might not be destroyed by its crushing weight. Jesus faced this battle the night before his crucifixion. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ [agape-love].

       In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was betrayed, just as Adam had been betrayed in the garden of Eden. At this betrayal, Jesus Christ took upon himself all the sins of mankind.

       To accomplish this, Jesus did not go out and commit every iniquity of carnal man. He did not run about dabbling in evil. Rather, he simply took upon himself the curses of Eden. Within these curses lay the source of all depravity, and every human failure. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

       As the curses of Eden entered Jesus, his body broke down and he sweat drops of blood. As “snake food,” his flesh was devoured by the curses of carnality. It was there, in the garden of Gethsemane, that Jesus Christ willingly accepted the Satanic carnal mind, which is the progenitor of all the sins of man. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

       Taking the curses of Eden made the mind of Jesus enmity to his Father. This quintessential horror was the true sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Millions of people have been crucified. But none of them ever made the sacrifice that Jesus made. His true sacrifice was not the cross. His true sacrifice was taking the sinful carnal nature of man, and agreeing for the first time in his life, to be separated from his Father. This was a pain far greater than any crucifixion ever imagined. The LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

       The curses of carnality produced within Jesus a new inner conflict, the evil desires of “self” preservation. “Self-will” is generated by the carnal mind, not the Mind of Christ. It is selfish carnality that shuns the way of the cross and rejects the wisdom of God.

       Prior to Gethsemane, Jesus only delighted in his Father’s will. I delight to do thy will, O my God. But now, for the first time in his life, he had a new, internal duality. With the acquisition of carnality, for the first time ever, Jesus experienced a desire that was contrary to his Father’s plan. Take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

       If Jesus had avoided the cross he would not have fulfilled the mission for which he was born. He would not have become agape-love. He would not have received the blessings reserved for the Overcomers. He would not have become the glorious deity that he is today. Indeed, if Jesus had avoided the cross, all the words that God had ever uttered would have exploded and the universe would have dissolved. Jesus absolutely knew that he had been ordained for the cross from birth. And yet, with the arrival of the Satanic carnal mind, he sought to avoid it. Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me.

       This drama occurred at the end of Jesus’ spiritual gestation, after he had learned how to deal with Satanic attack. By this time he had a begotten spirit, which was energized with the power of God. Thus he handled his crisis wisely. He did the right thing. He did something that is impossible for the unregenerate mortals of earth.

       When Jesus sensed within himself the duality of carnality, he surrendered his own will. He attacked self-centeredness. He defied his carnal-minded desires. Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. He set aside self-preservation and embraced the terrifying but infinite wisdom of his Father. In this he became an example that you are expected to follow. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

       When Adam ate from the Tree of Good & Evil he received the curses of Eden, and also the sentence of God for the transgression. In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. So also, when Jesus took these curses in Gethsemane, the sentence of the transgression fell upon him as well. In Gethsemane, Jesus was condemned to death. And less than eighteen hours after taking the curses of Eden, even the selfsame day, Jesus Christ was dead upon Calvary’s cross. In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

       At the cross, Jesus Christ killed the curses of Eden. Having taken them in Gethsemane, he slew them at Calvary. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree. By this crucifixion he destroyed the enmity and failure of man, while perfecting within himself an overcoming spirit. For Jesus Christ as with you, the cross was the happy remedy for the hateful malady of the carnal mind. That he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.

       One of the curses of Eden is the carnal mind, and it is symbolized by the veil inside the tabernacle. Like this veil, the carnal mind blocks your passage and vision into the Most Holy Place. When Jesus crucified the carnal mind, the veil was ripped apart. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.

       Both Adam and Jesus were betrayed in a garden, and there received the curses of Eden. Adam took the curses and died. But Jesus Christ had been specially prepared of God to reverse the servitude of carnality. Jesus took the curses of Eden and killed them. Now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

       This is the process of spiritual gestation that was demonstrated by Jesus Christ. And his gestation was only slightly different than yours. You received the curses of Eden at the beginning of your life, but Jesus received them at the end of his.

       After your spirit conceives to the masculine spirit of Christ, your carnality can be eradicated by the ever-maturing spirit Son within you. As the carnal mind of doubt, disbelief, and self-protection is crucified, your spirit will blossom into maturity.

       The wisdom of the cross is not apparent to the cursed carnality of man. In fact, the carnal mind cannot abide even the mention of possible suffering. And for good reason, for by the undeserved afflictions of earth the carnal mind is destroyed. The cross in your life is not a bad thing it is not your problem. The cross is the answer to your problem. It is the only method by which you can destroy the ongoing failure of your own carnality. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

       You are spiritually mature when your spirit has taken control of your body, crucified your carnal mind, and killed the curses of Eden in your own life. Only then is your spirit ready for resurrection-birth. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness.

Spiritual Birth

       At the end of his gestation, Jesus Christ was ready for his spiritual birth. Spiritual birth involves the death of the physical body and the resurrection of the spirit.

       When the body dies, spiritual gestation is terminated. The mature Son of God then lays off the physical body and departs the earthly womb. Jesus Christ accomplished this at Calvary’s cross. Moments before he died, he declared that his spiritual maturity was complete. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

       Three days after Calvary, Jesus Christ was resurrected into eternal, glorified, spiritual immortality. Resurrection is the terminus of spirit birth- it is the final act of spiritual begetting. Jesus Christ became the firstborn, spiritually begotten Son of God, when he was raised from the grave. In that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

       At his resurrection, Jesus was presented to the universe as the firstborn Son. He was the first of the Elohim-Adamites to be awarded this celestial glory. By this resurrection, Jesus became an autonomous spirit being, as independent of his Father, as you are from yours. Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

       It was only after this resurrection that Jesus received the helm of universal power. By the coronation of resurrection he was born into the fullness of his Father, and became the limitless deity that he is today. Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

       At the resurrection-birth of Jesus Christ he entered the Melchisedec priesthood. Anyone who obtains an endless life, automatically becomes a Melchisedec priest. After the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

       Jesus could only enter this priesthood after his resurrection. Prior to his death on Calvary’s cross, his life was not endless. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. By the majesty of resurrection, Jesus obtained an endless life. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. By this resurrection-birth he became a priest after the order of Melchisedec. Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

       The only way to enter a priesthood is by birth. Those who entered the Levitical priesthood were born into it- they were all born into the tribe of Levi. These men were then washed and anointed for their work, like you might be trained for a new job.

       When Jesus entered the Melchisedec priesthood he also had to be born into it. This priesthood is gained only as the byproduct of a new spiritual birth, a birth that brings immortality. Without his resurrection-birth to an endless life, Jesus could not have entered the timeless Melchisedec order.

       The proper sequence for Melchisedec ministry is clearly shown in Psalm 110:3-5. First a mature Son must depart the womb of earth, in spirit birth. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning. By this new birth, the Son enters the Melchisedec priesthood. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Only then does the Son’s true, universal ministry begin. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

       This sequence is repeated in Hebrews 5:8-10. A spirit Son is first conceived and taught obedience in earthly suffering. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. By the experience of earthly travail, the Son is matured into the fullness of his Father. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. When this process is complete, the Son enters Melchisedec ministry. Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

       Entry into the Melchisedec order is the emblem of a new, spiritually begotten Son of God. So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

       The Melchisedec priests are not human, they are immortal spirit beings. They have absolutely no lineage through anything physical. They are new offspring. Though they are matured in bodies of earth, they have no earthly heritage. Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life.

       The Melchisedec priests are the spiritually begotten Sons of God. These Sons have the same antiquity and immortality as God, their Father. They are born from his genetics. And just as God said in Eden, everything brings forth after its own kind. Made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

       The Sons of God are not descendants of Abraham, or Israel, or Adam. They are brand new spirit beings, descended from God, and the offspring of God. They [the Levitical priests] come out of the loins of Abraham: but he [Melchisedec] whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham.

       The begetting and ministry of Jesus Christ is illuminated in Psalm 2:6-12. After his resurrection-birth, Jesus Christ sat down in a heavenly throne. Then, like any proud Father, Yahweh thundered to the universe that his Son had been born. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

       This proclamation was immediately followed by a graduation present. After his resurrection-birth, Jesus Christ received all the created realms as his inheritance, and the ruling authority to govern them. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thus begins the true ministry of the Sons, those who are born from the genetics of God. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. ... Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way.

       The solitary, glorious, resurrection-birth of Jesus Christ has created quite a stir. For two thousand years he has been the most talked about figure in history. But this same sequence of events is waiting for all the Sons of God. He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

       Jesus Christ was the first of a firstborn group. His mission was to perfect an overcoming spirit seed that can bring forth the Sons of God from all his Elohim-Adamite brothers. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. After his resurrection, Jesus planted this victorious seed into the Adamic race. As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost [the masculine chromosomes of spirit life].

       The early resurrection of Jesus Christ is the undeniable evidence that God’s process to Sonship really works. According to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.

       So far, Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God because he is the only one who has been raised from the dead. Like Stephen, all the other Sons who have successfully completed gestation have fallen asleep, to await the resurrection of the firstborn. Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. ... And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

       Spiritual gestation is accomplished within the womb of earth, but the crown of spirit birth is not conferred until resurrection. At the start of the Millennium, all the firstborn Sons of God will be raised together, at once birthed into eternal perfection. Then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Jesus Christ: Leader of a New Race of Beings

       Adam and Jesus were both personally hand-crafted by God- they were both sinless beings. Adam became sin when Satan entered into Nachash (the Serpent). Jesus became sin when Satan entered into Judas. Both Adam and Jesus were betrayed in a garden. Adam was betrayed by a kiss, and so was Jesus. Both Adam and Jesus had known no sin, but were made sin by Satanic betrayal, according to the wisdom of God.

       As a result of their fall, Adam received death and a promise of sorrowful childbirth. Jesus received death, and by his resurrection, completed a sorrowful childbirth, bringing forth the firstborn Son of God. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

       Adam is the progenitor of dead, physical beings. Jesus is the progenitor of living spirit beings. The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. These new beings are the Sons of God, and they will possess the radiance of autonomous perfection. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be revived. 1 Corinthians 15:45 (Fenton).

       Jesus Christ is God’s blueprint for the Adamic race. His life and destiny represent the plan of God for you. This plan is represented by the Greek word logos. In the King James Bible, logos has been translated into 25 different English words. But according to Vines Expository Dictionary, logos means, “the expression of thought, as embodying a conception or idea.”

       The “logos” is the plan of God. This plan was devised by God before he made the earth. In the beginning was the Word [Logos or Plan], and the Word [Logos; Plan] was with God, and the Word [Logos; Plan] was God.

       The plan of God is to bring forth Sons, and Jesus Christ became the first complete expression of this plan. He was the first example or product of the plan. He was the first to be lowered into Adamic flesh and then returned to the heavens in glory. And the Word [Logos; Plan] was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

While on earth, Jesus taught this plan to anyone who would listen. And He preached the word [plan] unto them. This was his job, his assignment from his Father. The sower soweth the word [plan]. Those who rejected Jesus stumbled at the plan of God for their own Sonship. Making the word [plan] of God of none effect through your tradition.

       The plan for Sonship came from God, but Jesus was the first product of that plan. As the firstborn prototype Son, Jesus Christ became the leader of a new race of spirit beings. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. These new beings are the Sons of God. They are the fulfillment of Eden’s promise, and the result of God’s plan. These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true Witness [Jesus], the beginning of the creation of God.

       As certainly as you now find yourself as a physical Adamite, so also shall you one day become a spiritually begotten Son of the Living God. The process and the certainties are the same. As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

 

 

       When all the firstborn Sons of God are complete they will establish equity, peace, and blessing upon the earth. They will become ministers to all creation. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life. In this new realm the curses of Eden will not exist. And there shall be no more curse.

       Kind brings forth after kind, and these Sons shall have the mind and description of God, their Father. They shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. The spiritually begotten Sons of God will become the ruling authority for all the created realms. The Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

       Jesus Christ became the Tree of Life for all his Elohim-Adamite brethren. He provides you your only opportunity to be free from the curses of Eden. The resurrected spirit seed that he plants in you will enable you to become all that he is. As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

       Until you receive the seed of life from Jesus Christ and bring it to maturity, the curses of Eden will remain within you. He that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

       Each spiritually conceived Son of God must receive the seed of life and crucify the curses of Eden in his own life. These Sons will then reproduce God their Father, in every way. Jesus Christ is the demonstration and proof of this process. You are expected to follow his example, and to become what he is. Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.

Chapter Summary

1.         In his preexistent state, Jesus Christ was Captain of the Elohim.

2.         He was born through the virgin Mary as a divinely begotten, sinless man, conceived without the curses of Eden.

3.         He became a spiritually begotten Son of God by the two step, natural-then-spiritual birth process.

4.         Each of these two processes requires a conception, gestation, and birth.

5.         As a member of the Elohim, Jesus had the “feminine” half of God’s genetics at his physical conception, and received the “male” half at his spiritual conception.

6.         For Jesus, spiritual conception occurred at his baptism. There the two halves of God’s spirit joined to produce a new, spiritually conceived, Son of God.

7.         As an embryonic spirit being, Jesus then completed a gestation in suffering.

8.         At Gethsemane he took upon himself the sins of Adam, by willingly accepting the curses of Eden.

9.         Eighteen hours later he killed these curses on Calvary’s cross.

10.     By self-sacrifice and forgiveness, Jesus became the substance of agape-love.

11.     At his resurrection Jesus came to spirit birth and became the firstborn spiritually begotten Son of God.

12.     He was then an autonomous, self-existing life source, as independent from his Father as you are from yours.

13.     Jesus then planted the “masculine” spiritual genetics of his matured, overcoming, resurrected life, into his spiritually “feminine” Elohim-Adamite brothers.

14.     Jesus Christ gave his life to you, not for you. His crucifixion was an example, not a gift. If you do what he did, you will become what he is.

15.     Your Christianity is pure only to the extent that you can see yourself sharing in the pre-existence, example, and destiny of Jesus Christ.

We know also that the Son of God has come, and has endowed us with intellect, so that we can recognise the True; and we are in that Truth, with His Son Jesus, the Messiah. This is Divine Truth and Eternal Life. Dear children, guard yourselves from idolatry. 1 John 5:20,21 (Fenton).
