1 Cor 15:45 ( And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit)

When God formed the first man, he breathed the breath of life into him, and then he became a living soul.

After the fall, the life in him departed, and he was dead spiritually, and was introduced into another world which belongs to the devil; he was no longer related to God. This is the beginning of witchcraft, total rebellion against the ordinances of God.

Rebellion activated the sentence of death, physical and spiritual, and the years of man were limited as sin was increasing.

The last Adam became the solution to this calamity and became the quickening spirit who returns man’s life and resurrects him from the grave; he became the life of man.

The old man must die completely, for it’s under the judgment of condemnation, the judgment of God on him is perpetual; he can’t continue living and please his Creator; he must receive a new life to be able to reconnect with his Creator.

Quicken spirit came through the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, for he is the Life; death doesn’t have any power in his presence.

Wherever he encounters death in operation, his Life speaks; that is why he never attends a burial ceremony without the corpse not coming out of the grave.

He alone visited the grave to overcome the spirit of death and redeemed humanity from the power of the grave.

If you don’t have Jesus Christ, you don’t have life, you’re not different from the corpses in a mortuary, and you should be ready to die the second time if your ears are deaf to the voice of resurrection and life.

A man who is still going about in the image of the first Adam is under condemnation; he is carrying the curse and the burden of the fallen man; he is under the influence of the ancient serpent; that kind of image is forbidden from seeing the glory of God.

You can’t be possessed with that image and still exercise authority over the powers of darkness, Satan can’t tell the truth when he deceived the first Adam that he will turn to God, he knows they were made in God’s image, their reasoning faculty couldn’t tell them that which god will they become that is higher than the one they are possessed with His image.

Satan won’t tell them that it’s his own likeness they’ll become, since he had turned himself into god, who enthroned himself above the stars of God.

As man fell into Satan’s deception, his authority fell under the powers of the devil, which made Satan become the god of this world, and Adam was operating under his authority.

That is why you can see a man operating in different dimensions in the spiritual; they align with the devil to travel to space, and their spiritual man is awakened to the world of darkness.

All those who do this are under the manipulation of the prince of the world, Satan can’t cast out Satan, it will only lead to another great bondage.

If someone is telling you that you don’t need redemption to operate in the spirit of God, it’s a lie from the pit of hell. It’s redemption that will give you powers to live above Satan’s authority. Christ in you is the hope of your glory.

The people Satan fears most are those who are transformed from Adam’s nature to the image of Christ, for they carry the life of God, which he can’t terminate.

All others are still under his authority with the image of the dust that becomes meat for the devil.

But the redeemed are transformed from dust to lively stone beyond the reach of the ancient serpent.

They are the ones who are sitting with Christ in heavenly places; the powers of darkness are under their feet.

Jesus Christ is the tree of life, which Adam and Eve couldn’t eat in the garden; had they partaken in it, they would have lived forever in the image of God.

Jesus Christ says Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you can’t have life in you. Whoever partakes of my flesh won’t see death, for the life of God is in him.

The nature of the first Adam carries all the evil that was embedded in the devil, that is the nature of witchcraft and all other things that work disobedience against the law of God.

Nature of rebellion that rules out the reigns of God enthroned the power of self, the nature of the serpent: no wonder Jesus Christ called the Pharisees the generations of vipers, for they are yet to be regenerated to receive the life of God in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Christ came to establish the kingdom of God on earth, which will take control of the hearts of all men for God.

The nature of Adam can’t be modified or reformed; it’s only by transformation through the blood of Jesus Christ.

When Christ reigns, the self must vacate the position of authority, the throne must be returned to the owner to take his abode in man’s life.

Serpent nature is receptive to all the evil in this world; no matter how religious you are, if this nature is in you, there is no kind of evil you won’t do if you have the chance.

That is why you will see a Christian or a pastor that is yet to visit the Cross doing something that you will wonder if they’re born again.

They may bear the name of Christ, but are yet to be transformed and die to the power of the flesh.

These kinds of Christians are carnal, for they can’t understand spiritual things, as the old Adam is still operating fully in them.

Whatever you acquired with this nature ends in this world because it’s the fruit of the flesh, life can’t be given to the works of the flesh, for they are under the sentence of death and will perish with the world, but it’s only the fruit of the spirit that will last, for it’s acquired in God’s image, the image of the last Adam.

People normalize sin and see it as natural, not knowing that all sins come from the same fountain, from the seed of the serpent that was acquired in the fall.

This nature must be changed and receive transformation from Adam to Christ, from the seed of the serpent to the seed of righteousness.

Old Adam must die, for it attracts the spirit of death, if the devil visits with the spirit of death and meets the old man in charge, he has the power to kill and condemned the soul to hell, death of the old man which is the flesh is what nullify his accusation, he will have nothing that’ll attract his judgement of death.

Wherever the flesh reigns, death is near.

This old man must die for a man to start a new life in Christ, so that the power of death won’t be able to hold captive.

Even if it’s shrouded in religious activities, it’s still the same old serpent that was bruised by Jesus Christ in his death and resurrection. The old man must be removed, and the new nature must be given; this can only happen at the feet of the Cross.

When the flesh is crucified daily, the power of death and hell loses its hold, we are no longer living but Christ living in us to will and to do in his good pleasure.

That is why this saying can come to pass Death, where is thy sting? And grave where is thy victory?

Prayer: Father Lord, redeem me from the power of the grave, wipe away every accusation of the enemy against my life, in Jesus’ name amen.
