Jesus, the last Adam
On spiritual WARFARE (a struggle for EARTH REALM!!); let me share with you what the Lord just taught me:
I hope some will not wrest with these as they do some of my teachings? Every spiritual battle we see today is a battle for the EARTH REALM! We must understand that when Satan deceived Adam and Eve, he took possession of this realm and reigned till the advent of the birth, death, resurrection & ascension of Jesus Christ!
This morning the Lord opened my eyes and said to me:
“WHEN CHRIST CONFRONTED THE DEVIL, HE DID NOT CONFRONT HIM AS GOD, BUT AS THE LAST ADAM. FOR SATAN HAS TAKEN THE PLACE AND POSITION OF THE 1ST ADAM”
Satan has always desired to be God and ascend to His throne! Salvation was the highest RISK God took in order to redeem man from the power of Satan and restore him back to where he should be. There is a first Adam and there is also a last Adam who is Christ!
Had Jesus succumbed to Satan’s offer in Matthew 4, Jesus would have traded the throne for Satan and Satan would have ruled over God Himself!!
Salvation is FREE, but not CHEAP! WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT GOD WAS WILLING TO GIVE AWAY IN ORDER TO SAVE US!
Why are you so mindful of me that you RISKED even Your THRONE? JESUS I WILL SERVE YOU FOREVER!!

Romans 5:12-20 (NKJV). Death in Adam, Life in Christ
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
Thank you for the word of Yahweh
