The Sealing of the Saints [Part 17]

9/17


  • We began talking about the second seal which is taking place at Pentecost.
     We were wonderfully and fearfully made and designed by God to accommodate his presence. Our bodies were made temples of the living God. When God made Adam he was a good man without sin but he did not have the Holy Spirit living inside of him. The triune God whom we serve today has always been God, he did not at that point reveal his son nor the spirit of his son. The time was not yet, he had not yet taken occupancy in the office of son nor the office of comforter. But in every sense of the Word, he has always been God.
     God came down in the cool of the day and had fellowship with Adam, he walked and talked with Adam, there was a general place and time of fellowship between God and man. But this was not the end, this was just the beginning of the making of man. The making of man started in Genesis, God made a man out of the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils and he became a living soul. Adam was created a good man with the ability to choose. Eve went into the garden as an extension of Adam and as a good woman she decided to have a conversation with the devil. He started to speak and she decided to listen to what he had to say. She knew that she was created by God and was without sin and was made in the image and likeness of God. Prior to her conversation with the devil she never knew what evil was. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil, this mixed tree, this tree which had a perverted contaminated word shared his knowledge with the woman.
     There are many trees today just like that one who is sharing a mixed contaminated word with the woman (the church). Eve came back from having fellowship with that tree of the knowledge of good and evil and became aware of evil. Her mind became corrupted and carnal. She shared this knowledge that was corrupted with Adam and he also partake of the same. Adam and Eve was already like God, without sin and pure. The lie was that they could become like God. They could not be any closer to God than they were at that point.
     This was the first part of the making of man. When God came down in the cool of the day as he usually did, to have fellowship with Adam, he hid himself. He discovered that he was naked. Naked means to be uncovered or unprotected. So God slew a lamb and he used the cover of the lamb to protect and cover himself.
     This happened for us at Calvary, the new birth. Where we gave our lives to Christ and was born again. A lamb was slain and blood was shed and through this we now have a covering. We are no more found without a cover.
     We have been through the first sealing of the breastplate and now we are at the second sealing of the Holy Spirit. What an honor.
