Did Adam Die Spiritually or Physically (the answer may shock you)

8-31-2025 Did Adam Die Spiritually or Physically?

 Alright, so, you know, today’s beginning of a long journey for some of us. we’re gonna be going to some basics, some very, very basics, okay.

Some fundamental things. That do not change make sense? And it’s pretty bad that we gotta go back to the basics to see where teachers in the church now out in the world, in the church have really led the church astray. You guys understand what I’m saying about that? Okay. Because there are mainstream leaders and teachers out there, and Kenneth Copeland is one of them.

Okay? Now he has a college, a university. 

 the people, the big time preachers that have came out of his ministry that are in control of this country, spiritually because they’re in the faith office, that what these people believe is not. Scripture. It’s not in scripture. Okay. Now if I can, I’m just gonna share it with you. I don’t know how far we’re gonna get done today, but that’s fine because I wanna share something with you, and that is, I want you to know that I was a cheater in school.

I cheated all the way through school. I remember cheating when I was in fifth grade. I remember cheating when I was in sixth grade. I remember going to seventh grade and I was such a bad kid. I was made to sit in the front row and when everybody passed their papers forward. I erased a girl’s name and put my name and turned it in.

And I did it so often that she failed the class and I passed. I was a cheater. I have never read a book in my whole entire life from front to back. If there was one chapter with 10 chapters, I never read an entire book in my life. Never. I had girlfriends do my homework and I had girlfriends do my homework.

I cheated. I stole people’s homework, and the only way that I graduated was from cheating. I could not give you a, oral book report. I could not do it because I didn’t read a book. Now everybody else read a book. Everybody had to go read the same book and everybody had to get up and you could tell who read the book or not.

Could you imagine someone going up there and just read a paragraph of it? ’cause I was a paragraph reader. I never read a full chapter in a full chapter. Even in our study per day, you know, chapter one, chapter two, chapter three, I never even read the whole entire chapter in my life. I read the little paragraphs and you can read the paragraphs and barely, barely pass.

That’s why I graduated with like D minuses. Now A in art and a in Jim and a in band, and a in woods class. I got an A in all them, but everything else, I cheated. I cheated. So my whole entire life, I was a cheater. When it come to reading and writing, I was a cheater. I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ,

and I had to start reading, and I didn’t know how to read. Not very well at all. Couldn’t even comprehend what I was reading.

And it took some time for me, and I knew that if I was gonna live this life, you couldn’t cheat your way through it. I already knew that.

And when I was called out to be a pastor and I had to teach people, guess what I knew that I could not do? There ain’t no way I can cheat. No way. I’m gonna have to do the work, ain’t I? Why? Because we all have the same book, and you’re gonna know if I’m telling you the truth or not. If I’m cheating, you’re gonna know because we have the same book and we’re all supposed to be reading the exact same thing.

Now, if I could get up here and start talking to you. And I begin to start saying some basic things to you. You’re gonna know whether I know what the Bible says or not, because we’re all supposed to be reading the exact same book, are we not? And you should be able to sit back here and go, Jason, the Bible does not say that you didn’t read the book.

You’re cheating. You’re cheating. Cutting corners begin to start speaking things that are not true.

So here I am today listening to these preachers mega pastors. Listen, billionaire. And for the life of me, I can’t figure out how they got so rich when they don’t read scripture and they’re supposed to be studiers. Teachers and they got the basic things wrong. Basics 100% outright lie. Okay? Now there’s some things that we can put out there on the internet and there’s some things that we just can’t because I might be mean, but I ain’t that mean.

Now listen, I’m gonna show some things in here today to you all, but it’s the point that I’m trying to make to you that you might walk out of this building right here saying, Jason, don’t know what he’s talking about. But we’re gonna go back and read the exact same book and we’re gonna see what the book says.

And if you’re the one wrong, then you’re the one wrong because I’m reading it out of the exact same book that we’re all supposed to be reading. The 66 books up here. See the 66 books? I have no advantage over you. No advantage. Oh yes you do. We’re all got available the exact same books. We’re all supposed to have the exact same Holy Spirit, are we not?

I ain’t got a more spirit than what you got. I may have more faith than what you got. ’cause every measure of faith is given to a man and it don’t take very much to get into the kingdom of heaven. But it takes quite a bit to get in front of you and go, listen guys, this is what the word says. How shall they know unless a preacher be sent?

Now

let’s go to the first video, okay? Kenneth Copeland. And I want you to hear what’s being said. Go for it.

And I work on the Super Kid Academy team here at Kenneth Copeland Ministries. What does it mean to be spiritually dead? We all know what it means to be physically dead. This is something I’ve been thinking about and I heard Kenneth talk about it once. Have a listen. Adam Spirit was separated from the spirit of God.

If you could visualize a plug, like a, an electrical plug, they were unplugged. Now, God said that. Day you disobey the day, you ease of that tree, you’ll surely die. When now his body didn’t die. His mind didn’t die. His spirit continued to function, but his spirit is now functioning without being connected to the spirit of God.

That is spiritual death because of what happened in the garden with Adam and Eve. We are born into this world. From God. But here is the good news. We have the plug, and it is up to us to choose to plug into the source. Jesus is the source. We don’t have to be spiritually dead anymore.

 Now, do you guys hear that?

What they’re saying that when Adam and Eve ate of the fruit, they spiritually died. Is that not what he said? Okay, now

here we go. You guys ready?

 my pastor for eight years. Eight years. And I followed the teachings of that man. Okay, now I had my discrepancies ’cause I read the same book, but he was our pastor, so he must know more than me until I start finding out that we’re all reading the exact same book.

 but I want to show you that it’s the teachings of the big mega preachers. It is their teachings, and we have pastors that are following their teachings. We have people that are changing their mind and going to other teachings that they didn’t agree with years ago.

Okay. And this is what I’m trying to bring a realization of what is being taught in the church. Okay? Please,

Death, uh, biblically speaking here means separation. Now, here’s where we have to have our terms defined properly. It means separation. Uh, and I wrote an article on this in the footnote. You can see my article, life, death, and Eternity for a Fuller explanation. Uh, but death means separation. Often we think of it, uh, the way that, uh, humanists have set it forth as cessation of life, but that’s not.

What the Bible means by death. Death does not mean cessation of life. Death means separation, separation, and you should keep that word in mind. Physical death is the separation of the soul from the body. It is the separation of the soul from the body.

 Adam’s sin immediately brought spiritual death. It immediately brought. Spiritual death. 

 But nonetheless, it says here that the Lord God commanded the man saying, from any tree of the garden, you may eat freely, but from the tree of the knowledge of, of, of good and evil, you shall not eat for in the day that you eat from it, you will surely die.

Now in, in Genesis three verses one through seven, when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, a death occurred at that moment. A death occurred at that moment for in the day. That’s specific. That’s definite. In the day that you eat from it, you will surely die. That also is very emphatic, very emphatic. You will surely die and a death occurred.

Not a physical death, but a spiritual death. A spiritual death, which again is separation from God in time.

 What did he just say? You wanna hear it again? 

Adam the day you sin, you’ll surely die. Well, he didn’t die physically for 930 years, right? But if God said you going to die the day you eat of this, then he did. So what happened to him? Spiritual death.Death then is separation from God to be separated from life himself.

 Are you staying with me now? Yes. Spiritual death is to be separated from God. he didn’t die physically He just said that he did not physically die, did he not? And he said that he spiritually died.

Now, what does the word say? What does the Bible say? Now? First of all, we have to do some basics. And that is before the collective book, the King James, the Holy Bible, what we’re known, and they were all bound together as one. There’s five books that’s at the beginning of your Holy Bible, five books,

And these collective together by themselves bound in one book, it’s already existed, called The Torah. Do you guys understand that? When we read these five books right here, we understand they were already bound together. Now, one man wrote these books. That’s basic people. Moses wrote these books. Okay? Now

the first book is called Genesis. Does anybody know why it is called Genesis? Because the word genesis means beginning. That’s what’s called now. The man who wrote this was Moses. Where did he get his information? Because Moses didn’t show up on the planet and got the word of God from the mountain until the year, 1530 Moses’ books.

You guys see that? Well, he wasn’t there. How does he know how it happened? Moses wasn’t there at the beginning. God spoke to him. God told Moses how it went down, and we need to understand that. So if something is wrong that isn’t matching up. It’s either God’s fault because he didn’t get it right or it’s Moses’ fault ’cause he didn’t get it right.

Other than that, it’s perfectly correct because one of them two had to mess up. Yes or no. Now boys, I’m not cheating no more. I’m reading and I’m comprehending.

Let’s go read.

Genesis chapter two, verse four

if you guys don’t mind.

And we’re just gonna read just a few. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. And in that day, the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, verse five and every plant of the field before it was in the earth and every herb of the field before it grew.

Now, listen, God created it all before it grew. So you need to ask yourself something. Did the Lord just put seed upon the ground when he created it, or did he create that, which is the herb? He created it in its natural state. Was man created a baby? Was he created a baby? No, he was created a man, mature man.

You know when they ask, did the chicken come first or the egg? The chicken came first and it wasn’t a chick. It was a chicken. Guys get it. Make sense? Then the herbs of the field grew. That’s what it just said. It didn’t need any of your assistance. God created it and it began to grow.

Guys get it. Okay. For the Lord, God had not caused it to rain upon the earth and there was not a man to till the ground. So it was already growing. Now it didn’t even rain. This is where we get Noah, where he says, never rained upon the earth, and he goes, rain’s gonna come from the sky and flood. And they thought, there ain’t no way you’ve lost your mind, because that’s not the necessity for the herb to grow.

You understand? A tree did not need to be watered. Why? Because it had never experienced death. What happens when you don’t water something? I can go show you my wife’s plants right now and she said, well, I guess I need to water ’em. And guess what she didn’t do last night? Guess what’s gonna happen? They’re gonna die, ain’t it?

Death had not entered in. Death. Had not entered. It was perfect. Perfect. They act like death already existed. Death didn’t come in until Adam and Eve rebelled against God and did that, which he wasn’t supposed to do. Next, please

He didn’t say they couldn’t touch it because they were responsible for the keeping of that garden. Yes, sir. They were responsible for that. Wasn’t anything wrong with them touching it, watering it, taking care of it,

but she picked up something there now she said it was beautiful. And she was wanting to touch it.

There was no law against it.

Okay? They were watering it. That’s what he’s talking about right there. Okay? Now we just got done reading. Death had not entered, and if you don’t water something, what’s gonna happen to it? Death had not entered in yet to any of it. You guys understand? It was perfect and good. Okay? 

Everything ate a herb. A lion ate grass. Dog ate grass. A camel ate grass. They all ate grass. Everything ate a herb and man ate herb. you guys understand? There was no killing and shedding of blood at all. Death had not entered in yet. It was all perfect. Perfect.

Next, please.

Genesis two, seven. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a, what Man’s flesh form was already created from the dust, was it not? That’s where he was created from. That was a man form. I could have showed you a statue. Okay, A clay image of a man that has sculpted a man.

And you would look at that and go, man, that is awesome. Because a person sculpted that life-sized human being naked and everything and you’re just like, that looks just perfect. Now you think man can do that and you don’t think God can do that. So when you talk about the creation of man, you think he just took and stamped him like a cookie cutter, put a smiley face on him and breathed life into that.

And there’s man, that’s not how it went down. He created and sculpted man. And if we know that a man in this earth has got the ability to do it, why can’t,we know that God is able to do that? God created that. He formed that he was the artist. Now, that was just a fleshly man right there.

Was it not that clay is flesh. Then he breathed life into that clay man and his soul became a living thing. That’s what it means right there. That breath of life and man became a what? Living soul. Living soul. What does that mean? He became eternal. His soul became eternal. That’s how we’re liken unto God.

We are going to live forever. Okay, next, please.

And the Lord God planted a garden, eastward and Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. Now there’s the created man with the living soul. Next please. And out of the ground made the Lord God every tree that is pleasant to the site and good for food. The tree of life, also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden from whence it was parted and became into four heads. Now, how was the garden watered? Oh, they didn’t have buckets and pails and have to go water it. Did they? God watered it Didn’t need man on that part. Didn’t need it. Do you see where man has to come and water everything?

God done already watered it. It says it in his word. Kenneth Copeland don’t know what he’s talking about. He’s cheating. He ain’t reading the book. He ain’t reading it, is he?

Next please. Verse 15. ’cause I don’t wanna go into the rivers ’cause we wanna stay on point. We’re just gonna skip down to verse 15 and we’re gonna go And the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. What is the point of the man being created?

Do you see anything about man was created with glory? Do you see anything about a man being created with a crown on his head? Do you see any of that? No. Why? Because it didn’t happen. That’s why he was created and he was what naked was he not? Didn’t even know it. Don’t talk about a crown, don’t talk about a mantle.

Don’t talk about clothes at all. He was 100% naked and didn’t even know that he was naked.

 He was put in the garden to do what? Dress it and to keep it. What’s dress in the garden mean? Pruning it. Why? Why did it need a dresser to prune it? Because the Lord said grow and it needed to be dressed. Man didn’t have to water it. It was already orchestrated by God. Man was to dress it.

 Man was created to be a servant. For who? God. Not yourself. This is why when Jesus went to the disciples and he says, let me show you, this is how you will be accepted. The Father will accept you how? And he literally took his mantle off Jesus Christ and literally bound himself like a servant would look, and he showed them and washed their feet.

Remember that? Serve. This is why you were created to serve the Lord.that’s pretty simple stuff. Is it not pretty simple? Next, please. And the Lord God commanded the man saying, of every good tree and of the garden, thou mayest to eat freely. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it for in the day that thou eat us thereof.

Thou shall what? Now is God talking physically or spiritually right there. Because we just listened to preachers and they said it wasn’t physically, it was spiritually. Yes or no. We’re going to the basics here. People, because someone’s not reading their Bible. Someone’s cheating. And trust me, I know a cheater.

’cause I used to be one. They’re cheating.

You’re gonna die. Now. Let’s go to Genesis. five, one through five.

Now, just because Adam didn’t kill over with a heart attack, doesn’t mean that he didn’t die because when he was created, he was to live eternal. Yes or no? Yeah. Yes. He wasn’t like Benjamin button. You ever seen that? Go waste three and a half hours of your life and go watch that movie That is a waste of three and a half hours of your life.

That’s not how God created, man. This is the book of the generations of Adam in the day that God created man in the likeness of God, made he him. You know why you got a head on your shoulders? You know why you got two arms? You know why you got two hands? You know why you got two legs and you don’t walk on your legs like a cow because you’re made in the image of God and Jesus Christ was already there.

Jesus Christ has a head. So you have a head. Jesus Christ has two arms. So you got two arms. Male and female created he them and blessed them and called their name Adam. And then the day when they were created, verse three, and Adam lived 130 years and bega a son in his own likeness after his image and called his name Seth.

Very important. And then it says in the days that Adam, after he had begotten Seth were 800 years and he begat sons and daughters. Verse five. And all the days of Adam lived were 930 years. How long did Adam live? These ain’t cat years people. These are real years. 930 years old. You know why you can number his days that he was alive because he’s dead.

He’s physically went into the ground just because he didn’t have a aneurysm and die or have a massive heart attack, doesn’t mean that he did not die physically. You guys get that. Well, death isn’t really what you think death is. So when God said, thou shall surely die, he wasn’t talking about the flesh.

He’s talking about your spirit. That’s not what the Bible says. That’s not what we just got done reading right there. We was reading it right there. You can go out there to the cemetery and what do you find? They’re all dead, but their soul. Their spirit is somewhere, is it not? Now, how can you say the spirit died?

When we as Christians say, you are going to live eternally, whether you are born again or not born again, whether you have a new spirit or you keep your old spirit, you’re gonna die and you’re gonna go someplace no matter what. Your spirit is going to live for eternity. Now, how can you say that when they ate of the fruit, they spiritually died?

How can you say that it doesn’t line up in scripture what God hath said? These are A, B, C, basic things because they want to take you someplace that you’re not supposed to go. And for you to be able to do that, you gotta change the word. You gotta change and say, well, it says it, but that’s not what God meant.

I don’t care what subject you’re studying in the Bible. So what is not enough? Now we know it’s true. It is absolute truth. And but then at the same time you find things in the Bible, the, it’s true. The Bible said it with what was said was not true. What Job said was not true.

But we tell people, you need to know Jesus, or you will eternally live in hell. Or now, how is that possible if your spirit’s dead?

 Let’s go to Genesis chapter three verse one.

through 13. Okay, now let’s talk about Satan. It says, now the serpent was more subtle. and that means crafty. than any beast of the field, which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, ye hath God said, ye shall not eat every tree of the garden.

And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, first three, but of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden. God has said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye what? What’s that? Say, touch it. Now. They’re gonna tell you that Eve made that part up.

Okay. Now wait a minute. Who wrote the book? Who wrote the book? Moses did, didn’t he? And Moses wrote down how God said it went down. And for you to say that it’s okay, she could have touched it is a lie. Because God’s the one that told Moses and Eve said, thou shall not touch it. God said that. That’s how it got in there.

Moses wasn’t there. So when you say that’s what it means, then you call God a liar. That’s what you’re calling God a liar.

See, that’s exactly the message that they’re bringing into the church. You’re just like God, exactly like him 

To see one. But above that light line, he’s like, God, he could see the angels. He could see the whole spiritual world. ’cause he was exactly like God, and God created them.

 but the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God has said neither. Shall ye touch it. Next, please. 

He didn’t say they couldn’t touch it because they were responsible for the keeping of that garden. Yes, sir. They were responsible for that. Wasn’t anything wrong with them touching it, watering it, taking care of it,

There was no law against it.

 Timeout. Now listen, now he’s talking about the tree of life and he just said, God didn’t say you couldn’t touch it.

 He’s cheating. He ain’t reading the Bible is he? Eve said, God said don’t eat of it or touch it. And he just came right in there and said God didn’t say don’t touch it now. Who’s lying? Now You don’t have to come right out and just say lie. I guess. Who’s not reading their Bible? Who’s cheating?

Not reading scripture. Who’s cheating?

Now I understand why your teachers are mad at you when they catch you cheating. Because you didn’t earn it. You didn’t earn it. You get an A because you cheated and you didn’t earn an A. These guys are failing the class. Are they not? They’re not reading. And they know you are not reading.

That’s why they can get away with what they get away with because you’re not reading your Bible. Next, please.

Now, the serpent said unto the woman, you shall not surely die. That who said, thou shall not die. Who said the opposite of the truth? Who said that? stinken And devil did, didn’t he? Now you got Kenneth Copeland coming out and saying the opposite of what God said, and you can call him the devil. You don’t understand that man is an enemy of God too.

It ain’t just the devil. Man is the enemy of God. That’s why man’s not gonna get in the kingdom of God. flesh, shall not inherit the kingdom of God. It ain’t gonna get in. Why? Because it’s an enemy. It has to die, has to. That’s why we’re all gonna go to the grave next, please for God. doeth know that in the day ye eat thereof, in your eyes shall be open and ye shall be as God’s knowing good and evil.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes, now listen. It. We don’t know exactly how long Adam and Eve was in the garden. We don’t know that. You wanna say 24 hours And the next day that they sinned and on the, and by the eighth day, they were getting kicked out.

And that’s not how it went down at all. There’s not enough time there. Now listen, it says right here, the tree was good for food. And when the woman saw, what did the devil do to eve, he tempted her and he got her to stop and acknowledge the tree. Acknowledge the tree. Now, when they were dressing the garden, see how I just said that now when they were in there dressing the garden, not watering the garden, dressing the garden, because everything was growing.

They never pondered on eating it. Not one time. How do you know? Because they were obedient. The thought never even came into their mind to eat of it. They obeyed. It wasn’t until Satan brought it to her attention and said, stop and look. Then it says, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, she never even thought about eating it before.

He’s the one that brought in the deception and said it was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes. How did she know it was pleasant to the eyes. She never dwelt on it before. Oh, it is good looking. It does look juicy and it says, and a tree to be desired. She never desired that tree before.

She never had pondered and looked at that and desired to eat it, not even to touch it. That’s some simple stuff, isn’t it? People? And it says to make one wise, she took of it. It was done too late. She didn’t have to eat it. She touched it. Everybody always says, oh, it’s when they ate of it. No, it isn’t, because according to Moses that God told him, Eve said, God hath said we shouldn’t eat of it or touch it, and she touched it.

And it was done already. Too late. She desired within her heart to be like, God,

next please. In the eyes of them were both open and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made the aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden and the Lord God called into Adam and said unto him, we’re out thou.

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked and I hid myself.

All we gotta do is read it. Now, it doesn’t say that God only came in the garden, in the cool the evening. It doesn’t say that. It just said that God came. Now, when he came, he was not with Adam. He was separated from Adam, was he not? Okay. Now that preacher said, that Adam and Eve was in the presence of God all the time.

No, they wasn’t. They were called to be servants in the garden. Whose garden is it? That’s right. They’re supposed to be working for God. God came to visit his workers. That’s what kind of God that created us and the kind of God that we serve. No different than if you was a king and you had an orchard and you had workers in your fields and you came out to visit them to see how things are going.

That’s a good master, isn’t it? That’s what kind of God we serve. And as he came to go visit Adam and Eve, that was tinting the garden like he always did. Could you imagine you drinking coffee and having breakfast with somebody every single morning for 20 years and you show up one morning and you go, I wonder where he is at.

Huh? I wonder where he is at. I wonder if something happened. Hey man, where have you been? We’ve been eating breakfast for 20 years. That’s how it was with God. When he showed up to have a conversation with Adam, he wasn’t found. He wasn’t where he was supposed to be.

Now,

what did they do? They came up with their own idea, did they not? They took fig leaves, they hid their nakedness, and they made themselves look like the herb. That’s called camouflage people. They camouflaged themselves so they could be hid from God. And God said, why are you hiding? Why are you hiding ? now

What did God do? They came up with their own idea to cover their nakedness did they not? And God said, it shall not be your way, my way. And God killed an innocent animal, did he not? An innocent animal that had nothing to do with the sin of Eve and Adam. ’cause Eve was the one that ate it first and it had nothing to do with what they did in an innocent animal was killed.

And what did God do with their skin? Made clothes. Now I’m a taxidermist and I tan and I make leather. And the process of that is a little time consuming. So God took measurements no different from you taking measurements and making somebody else a coat.

It took time. And God showed them when they killed an animal to sacrifice it because that animal’s life was sacrifice for the covering of their nakedness. Guys understand that That’s pretty simple stuff.

And he made them coats with that skin. No different from Jesus Christ being our sacrifice. And now we have his flesh as a covering our nakedness. No different. And his sacrifice in that blood was atonement and covered our nakedness, did it not? I mean that’s pretty simple stuff. That’s basics It. It doesn’t change.

 let’s go to Genesis chapter four, verse 10. Let’s look at something.

Now if Adam and Eve, their spirits died, okay, their spirits died. ’cause that’s what they’re saying, their spirits died. And they’re saying that which don’t make no sense that Adam and Eve didn’t die physically, and we find out that they did. Then in Genesis chapter four, verse 11, when Cain killed Abel, his physical body killed him, then that means his spirit was already dead.

Yes or no, according to them, his spirit would’ve been dead. That’s what they said. Their spirit died. It isn’t what you think, that he died and and went to the grave. It’s something different. His spirit died. So if his spirit died, then how is it he said, God is asking Cain, what is thou has done?

Kill thy brother. And he says, for the voice of thy brother’s blood cryeth to me from the ground, how can the spirit be dead? His spirit is alive. His flesh is dead and in the ground. ’cause Cain dug a hole and buried it and hit it. But his soul speaketh unto God. That spirit didn’t die. That spirit’s alive, isn’t it?

No different from what we tell our friends and the people that we want them to be eternally saved. We go, your spirit is alive and it is going to live eternally, someplace, heaven or hell. Now, how can you say that your spirit is dead

to me? They have no understanding because they ain’t been reading the Bible. They haven’t been reading them 66 books that somebody else chose them for us. That there’s enough information in them books right there. There’s enough. You don’t need no more than that. There’s enough right there. I mean, you got preachers that are saying that the spirit died and not the flesh, and that’s not what these 66 books are about, and all we’re doing is going to the beginning and go.

You guys are wrong, man. Wrong. Missed it saying that the Bible says something when it doesn’t say it. Now let’s go to one Corinthians chapter 15, verse 44. Now,

let’s not take my word for it. Let’s take the teaching of the Apostle Paul, because he’s the one that wrote almost the New Testament, almost all of it. Okay? And we’re gonna listen to way he teaches and what he says. That’s what I’m gonna believe. What’s wrong with that? So it is sewn a natural body. This is what the Apostle Paul said.

It is sewn a natural body. Now you can take that from Adam. And then he has sperm, which is considered his seed. And then he is a giver and the woman is a receiver and his seed goes into that woman and creates life, does it not? And that is referred to a natural body, is it not? That’s flesh. He said it is sown a natural body.

It is raised a what? Spiritual. Spiritual body. The Apostle Paul is making a difference between the physical and the spiritual. Is he not? This physical body is going to go to the grave and we have not got our new body yet. We’re waiting on it. We’re waiting. It has not happened yet. It says there is a natural body.

Okay? That’s what I’m trying to tell you. There’s a natural body that is the man who died that was 930 years old. That’s the natural man. Did he not die? So God’s not a liar, is he? Not? When he says, thou shout, surely die, God’s not a liar. What happened to him? Just because he didn’t kill over with a heart attack within five seconds says, eating the fruit doesn’t make God a liar.

God says, that shall surely die. And guess what happened to him? That’s death. People. You can’t change it. You can’t change it. That’s death. What we gonna do? Go to the next funeral and go. He ain’t dead. His spirit ain’t dead.

Leave that box just the way it is and go back to it about a month later and open it up. Tell me that ain’t dead.

Now listen. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body. Who said that? Not Jason Geisendorfer The apostle Paul said that it says, and so it is written the first man Adam. Now wait, see I didn’t bring it up. Paul went all the way back to the beginning and he said the first man Adam was a living soul.

You guys see that? A living soul. The last Adam was made a quickening spirit that means made alive. now timeout. This is where we’re gonna get spiritual. And I told you that they don’t know what they’re talking about because they don’t.

I’m gonna read some more verses then I’m gonna explain a few things to you. Okay? Next please. That was not first, which is spiritual. How bet that was not first, which is spiritual, but that which is natural. Which one came first? Adam being created from the dust, was it not?

That is the man that was created first. Then he breathed life into it. Then he became a living soul. That’s the order that had happened and all the apostle Paul has taken this right back to the order and he said First, which is spiritual. No, he says, but that which is natural. And afterward that which is spiritual.

You guys see that two different things happened right there. The one that was fleshly died. That’s why you can’t make it into the Kingdom of God. Flesh and blood cannot enter into the kingdom of God. It is not allowed. But this man right here is gonna live eternally. Spiritually. Okay. The first man is of the earth earthly pretty simple stuff.

The second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthly such, are they also that are earthly and as is the heavenly such, are they also that are heavenly? And as we have borne the image of the earthly, now look, as we have borne the image of the earthly, we are likened unto Adam and Eve. Are we not? Two legs,or two ears, a mouth, right?

That’s how we’re created in their likeness. And then it says, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. That has not happened yet, people. None of us has gotten a new body yet. This is the hope. This is what we are waiting on. Waiting next, please. Now this I say brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

There you go. And it says, neither hath corruption. Inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. We’re still waiting for the change. Are we not? That has not happened yet. Now

this is how you explain to a person.Listen up. Every single one of us have a spirit inside of us who you are. And when you give your life to Jesus, that spirit man does not die. That spirit man did not die in the garden when the ate physical man died. That’s why we go to funerals. That’s why when we look in the mirror, we keep getting older and older and older.

We are dying. We’re not dead, but we are dying physically. Okay, now.

That spiritual man, the old Jason Geisendorfer that man’s spirit was alive, was it not? And when I asked Jesus Christ to come into my heart, and I believed on what he did on that cross, and I, I didn’t have to understand who wrote the Torah. I didn’t have to understand that. I just needed to understand I was a sinner and I needed a savior.

And I knew that if I died, my spirit was going to go to hell eternally. Now, how is that possible that my spirit’s dead if it’s gonna go someplace? How is that possible? Because they don’t know what they’re talking about. Now, when I believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I got born again. What part became new?

It never even existed before I got a new Spirit, did I not? Now there’s two living men with inside of me. I got the old man and I got the new man. That’s the teachings of the Apostle Paul people. Now I take that old man because he can’t die. He’s made in the image of God. He can’t die. That’s how God created him.

And now that new man’s gonna live and that old man is gonna be put on a cross. Understand 100% spiritual. That spiritual man is gonna go on a spiritual cross, and you’re not gonna let him live any longer. You’re gonna live in that new spirit towards Jesus Christ. Make sense? That pretty simple stuff, isn’t it?

 They don’t know what they’re talking about because they can’t understand scripture, because they don’t read scripture. They got their own plan.

Now in Revelations chapter two, verse 11. Now I want you guys to see this, okay? Because it talks about a second death, a second death. We already know what the first death is. It’s out there at that cemetery, and it’s waiting on us, and it’s all going to happen to us because flesh and blood cannot en enter to the kingdom of God,

Even if you believe that there’s a rapture, you’re still gonna die before you get in because you’re not gonna go in because flesh and blood can’t. There’s gonna be a process of you dying, being transformed. It says. He that hath ear, let him hear what the spirit said unto the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

That’s what that says right there in Revelations. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. This right here just spoke of a second death. Now we’re talking about the spirit because the spirit hath not died. The flesh died and the spirit is gonna go someplace next, please. Blessed and holy as he the hath part in the first resurrection 

First resurrection. This is the time that we’re waiting our bodies to be resurrected and to be changed. Yes or no. The changing of the, this is the first resurrection and if you go into the first resurrection, you don’t have to worry about the second death half, no power over you 

So what’s talking about, there’s a difference between the first death and the second death. See, Kenneth Copeland,they’re confused on which one’s dying and which one’s alive. They’re confused because they haven’t read the Bible. It’s too simple. It’s not your way, it’s God’s way.

Blessed and holy is he that have part in the first resurrection on such the second death, half no power. But they shall be priest of God and of Christ and shall reign with him See the second death, let’s get more clear ’cause all these are mentioned in Revelations. Next please. And the sea gave up the dead.

Now we need to ask ourselves something. So a bunch of dead fish are gonna show up during judgment day. Is that what it’s saying? And the sea gave up the dead. So a whole bunch of dead fish. No. What do fish represent? People. Jesus said, I will make you what? Fishers of men. Jesus Christ even gave us a parable and said, it is likened to a man that throws his net and he has all these fish and he sorts out between the good and the bad.

Go read it. And the sea gave up the dead, which is in it. That means those that were. Alive on the earth are coming to judgment day. Now they’re dead and it they’ve been changed and death and hell delivered up the dead. Now we need to ask ourselves, what dead’s that? A lot of dead going on got dead flesh.

You got people that are dead. You got people that are alive and you got people that are getting ready to die the second time. How can you divide all this out? You can if you understand getting a new spirit, it says, and death and hell delivered up the dead, which were in them. That means they were physically dead.

And it says, and they were judged every man according to their works. Verse 14 and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. Look, death and hell. Those that were dead did not have a new spirit. Continued in their old spirit, they were dead and in hell and were cast into the what lake of fire.

There’s a difference between hell and lake of fire. Our Bible talks about it. It says right here, the lake of fire. This is the second what? Death. Second death. Now, obviously that’s not a fleshly death, that’s a spiritual death separated. Listen, this is where you get separation from God eternally you will be spiritually dead.

That hasn’t happened yet. That hasn’t happened yet. We’re waiting for that day to come because the devil and his angels are gonna be cast into the lake of fire. And those that did not believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, they are going to be cast into the lake of fire forever and ever. Let’s read it.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things that I will be his God and he shall be my son. Verse eight. But the fearful and the unbelieving and the abominable and the murders and the whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the, what’s that say?

 Second death. Now, that hasn’t happened yet, and them preachers said that that happened in the garden.

They’re lying. They’re cheating. They’re not reading their Bibles, people, they’re reading other people’s books, leading the church. into a place of no understanding spiritually, we are not a church that is preparing ourselves for the coming of the Lord.

We’re not a church preparing our hearts for the coming of the Lord. We need to have a desire to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If that desire is gone, then there’s no love, no love. You can really tell when, when somebody’s in love with their wife because they desire her. Do you desire your husband?

Do you desire to speak with him and to be with him? Do you desire to serve him? Well, when you pray, do you say, Lord, use me. Use me. Do you ever ask that when you pray, Lord, use me in your field as you created Adam to be a servant. So you also have created me to be a servant. And in my new spirit, I say yes to you and no to the old man, and I put him on a cross or I put him on an altar, or I put him in a watery grave.

Yes or no. We present that old man as a living sacrifice. Do we not? Living means that is a spirit that is alive and it can take itself off of that spiritual altar anytime that it wants. And we gotta keep it back on there that we may overcome that old man and the devil, both of them, because they are both the enemy of God makeperfect sense, doesn’t it?

Now, does that sound like some twisting and well, all we’re doing is reading the Bible. That’s it. The Apostle Paul said They were wrong. They were wrong because they put no separation between that which is earthly and that which is the spiritual. They put no separation between it at all.

 We have to be careful what people teach us because we will put our hope in something that is never going to happen because it’s not taught in the 66 books. The Holy Spirit is not gonna teach you something contrary to these 66 books. It ain’t gonna happen.

This is how we can judge whether the spirit that came to us, I don’t care if you wanna call it the Holy Spirit, it’s a spirit that came disguised itself. We have to be able to judge whether it is the Spirit of God or not by reading these books right here. And if that spirit that came to you is the spirit of the living God, the Holy Ghost in power, then he is gonna show you throughthese 66 books that have been chosen for us.

By holy men of God that loved the church more than we love it right now, according to them, because they would’ve never have led the church astray, not the ones that did this work right here. They wouldn’t be doing what Kenneth Copeland’s doing. No way. if that mindset and that heart was in these men’s, then we don’t have a chance.

We’re all messed up. There’s no hope at all. But there is hope. We have the desire to know the truth. People. I don’t care if it’s your best friend. That’s why I chose to, show you, hey, it is a battle that’s coming to me and you right now. It ain’t just on thetube. No more people when you’re watching once a week on TBN

It’s way deeper than that. It’s coming to our own homes, to our own churches. And we have to be a prepared people. We gotta read this right here. Many deceivers out there. What do they want? People? Money. They want money. How much do they want? All of it. All of it. All of it. Now, that doesn’t mean that I don’t believe that you’re not supposed to be giving some of your money to the Lord God Almighty.

Just because I don’t preach about money doesn’t mean that it’s not involved and the Lord doesn’t want access to it at all. I am a tithe pair my whole entire life. I’ve did a lot of cheating before and I’ve never cheated on that. All of it is a part of it. When you say that, I give you my life, all of it, that means everything that is about you, you give a part of that to the Lord Jesus Christ.

And I’m gonna tell you what, you can actually know where money is in your life when you don’t want to give any of it to God. That’s how much you love it. That’s how much you desire it, because you don’t wanna give God any of it. when you give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, you gotta give all of it to him.

And you’re like, Lord, do you wanna send my money? You can have it. You want some of it? I don’t have a problem with it because I love you more than I love this money. That problem goes away, can’t even get through the basics. The more you hold on, you think that you’re going someplace, but you’re not. All of it is a part.

All of it. Say, give an offering to the Lord. I know Just give him something that you don’t want. That’s a good offering, isn’t it? You take the most precious thing that you got and you offer it to the Lord and you what he’s gonna do, he going to take it. That’s what kind of God that we serve. He’s a consuming God.

You put your life on that altar and you say, Lord, I give you my life. I give you this old man as a sacrifice unto you, and Lord Jesus, give me new life that I may live it within you. You know what he’s gonna do? He gonna take that old man, he going to take him. He’ll make that new man.

 that’s pretty awesome as far as I’m concerned that’s a lot better than that trash that we just got done listening to in the first five minutes, because that’s what it is. let’s pray. Lord Jesus, father, as we come before you this morning. Father, I just want people to know clearly what your word says, that as we go and search out the truth.

Father, that it is so clear what your word says if we just read it.

Father, I don’t want conspiracies. I don’t want a he said, she said, I want, thus sayeth the Lord. I wanted thou shout.

Father, I pray Lord, that we would be truly a people that is preparing for your coming, preparing our own hearts in our own lives. Father, I pray that we would not be ashamed, that we would not be scared, that you would give us the boldness to tell people about your son. I thank you Lord Jesus for the lives, Lord, that’s been changed in this place.

And I ask, Lord Jesus, that you would continue to bring them, that our lives may be transformed, our new spirit may be transformed into your image of your son. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
