In
the beginning God commanded light to
shine from the heavenlies into a dark world void of
understanding, a world in a state of pain, hopelessness,
distress, ruin and destruction. Our Lord never changes, He is
shining forth again into the hearts of men, He is giving
understanding and wisdom in this hour to bring about healing and
reconciliation to all the nations of the earth.

From the moment of His entrance into this world unto the very end of
His esistence man finds Himself in the state of fear and
tribulation, His soul finds no rest as a result of this. Not
withstanding all the labour put in by men, they find themselves in
deeper crisis. The research undertaken by men in all fields of life
to solve the problems of Humanity is an illusion and will always be
an illusion. It will remain an illusion because they try to solve
the problems of humanity using the same cause of the problems of
humanity, we will understanding this shortly. Humanity will only go
on an infinite merry go ride in circles until they get a revelation
of the garden within them.
Due to the pain and misery seen in this world many have come to the
conclusion that as long as we live in this world, it is impossible
to live a life of one hundred percent victory. Many people, brethren
included have concluded that we must all die first then go to heaven
in the sky to obtain that perfect victory of God. They say in
heaven in the sky we will never grow old, we will have everlasting
joy and many other things. Some even use letters from the Bible to
try to prove their point. In all of this we will find out today that
it possible to get that victory in every area of our life, Body,
soul and spirit.
JESUS CAME TO SHOW US THE GARDEN WITHIN
The Christ descended from Heaven to illuminate the world with the
light of life, so that all who perish in ignorance can be revived by
the life of God. He came as the good shepherd to give covering,
protection and rest to His sheep which are the souls of men. As we
hear His voice calling in the spirit, recognize it and follow Him,
He gives us the rest that we seek by revealing the truth which
counters the lie of the Devil. All the voices we have heard in the
past while we were in ignorance are voices of Lairs, Thieves and
murderers because those voices never revealed the nature of the
inseparable love of God towards us. Those voices we heard in our
families, in our schools and our traditional religious bases are the
voices that have actually darkened the minds of men from their true
inheritance as sons of God. They removed the keys of God’s kingdom
from the our hands and hid them from our site so that we were
subjected misery all along. The keys of the kingdom come as
knowledge and understanding in the living God, ourselves and our
relation to God and His kingdom, if we do not know these things we
are in misery and poverty. Christ has come to reveal to us the
truth and as we hear the undiluted truth from the Lord (not Man) we
will discover a garden Hidden within yourself a place where we can
rest our souls.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.
The rest for our souls from the tribulation, anguish of soul and
gnashing of teeth that is seen in every unregenerate man in this
world is the salvation plan of God. Apostle Paul referred to it as
ETERNAL REST or the Sabbath. In the rest of God, all the saints do
is to live in pleasures and love, non of the evil of this world gets
to those who find this rest; in that day there is no worry or
thought of survival all we do is enjoy the blessings of the Lord
100%. That rest is found only in God’s dwelling place otherwise
called the kingdom of God or the Paradise of God, or the mountain of
the Lord (Zion) or the City of the Lord (New Jerusalem) or the
kingdom of heaven or heaven. I have heard of people who preach that
the kingdom of God, the paradise of God and the kingdom of heaven
are all different things but they are mistaken, they all mean one
thing, that is God’s dwelling place or the place of His presence.
With His coming Christ Jesus brought to light (to view) a new
kingdom and a new life system in God. He has come to give us access
into God’s kingdom telling us that all we have to do is knock, seek
and ask and it is all ours. As we receive the keys as given by the
spirit of God we begin a new walk in and as Him, a life of perfect
peace, favour and glory. Christ Jesus once said "in me you will
find the peace that you seek but outside of me you will find nothing
but tribulation.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome the world.
As a model son Jesus lived in that Christ reality of perfect peace
in the living God, His words to the disciples were always words of
comfort like “fear not you of little faith”. He could comfort them
in this way because he lived in the reality of the perfect love of
God which casts out all fear, he lived by perfect faith before the
face of the Father knowing that He pleased the father. On one
occasion in the gospel account, while the disciples were travelling
on a boat there arrived a violent storm which rocked the boat and
caused the disciples to cry out because of fear. this is a picture
of humanity tossed to and fro by Satanic influence where there is no
rest for their soul, they have nothing but worries and fears. Jesus
who was in that boat at the time slept on like a baby, He was not
shaken nor disturbed because he lived in the very heart of the
Father; He lived in the consciousness of the omnipotent and the
omnipresent God, He lived in the reality of a kingdom were all
things are possible with no limitation whatsoever, a kingdom where
nothing that offends can enter. He did not come to show off, but to
demonstrate to humanity the life in God’s kingdom; He came to reveal
God’s kingdom.
One may ask what is the kingdom of God? Is it a place up in the sky
above the clouds and the rainbows. The response is “NO”, The kingdom
of God is a spiritual kingdom hidden within all men; I say hidden
because men are ignorant of this mysterious treasure hidden within
them.
In one of the many meetings with the Scribes and Pharisees, Jesus
once responded to a question on the kingdom of God by saying the
kingdom of God is within each and every one of them.
.
Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom
of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here!
or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Notice closely that Jesus was not just talking to His disciples, he
was talking to the scribes and Pharisees who were the same ones who
opposed Him and eventually killed Him; these were the same people
who Jesus once called offspring o vipers and children of the Devil.
This goes to show that the kingdom of God is hidden within all men,
but they have to figure this mystery out. When Jesus says by their
fruits you will know them, He is saying those that are not walking
in the awareness of the kingdom within them bring forth bad fruits
of death, sorrow and wickedness; the solution to the problems of
humanity is only found as we become consciously aware of the
kingdom within. We must open our ears to hear what the spirit is
saying, He is always speaking but men are distracted by activities
on this carnal realm and therefore never perceive the still small
voice. Let us put aside activities of religion and come into
fellowship with the Christ. Remember what the Christ says mind how
you hear, it is in hearing, comprehending and application that we
move on into God’s kingdom.
Matthew 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Paul wrote extensively of this mystery hidden inside of men for many
generations but is being unfolded to us by the spirit of God in this
last time. All men travail in pain for ignorance of this glory
locked up within themselves, the saints or the elect of God are the
ones who will discover this mystery and walk in it.
.
Colossians
1:25-27 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation
of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from
generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God
would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of
glory:
The fruits of the kingdom of God is Joy, peace and power in the holy
ghost. All these attributes come forth as a result of our strong
awareness and loving union with the living God. The root of all the
problems of humanity is simply the strong feeling men feel of their
relationship with the living God. Men look at themselves as lowly
entities who are infinitely separated from the living God. We were
all feed with this idea from the moment we entered into this world.
Religion serves to even widen the gap between man and God so does
all the systems that pertain to men. The world lives in a realm of
no faith towards the living God, but with the realization of God’s
kingdom within us we live a new life of faith as heirs of God; we
live knowing that all things have been given to us richly for our
enjoyment. Living in the knowledge of God’s kingdom removes all
sense of lack and fear; all of those products of darkness dissolves
as the light of God’s kingdom within shines forth.
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
1Corinthians For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in
power.
It
is truly possible to have a physical body in this world and live in
the reality of God’s kingdom, in fact God is glorified in His sons
who walk in the reality of this mystery. In doing this the nations
who are actually the unbelievers see the righteous of God, glory his
name and are saved. God is glorified when we exhibit the fruits of
peace, love and joy in all situations, remember we are that city set
on a hill for all to behold as we discover and walk in the mystery
of the kingdom with [Matthew 5:14]. The elect of God are not
predestined to fly away from the world to some place in the sky in
the face of tribulation but they are called to display their ability
to retain victory in all things before men.
Jesus who is the model Son for all to follow, declared openly that
He did not walk according to the way the peoples of this world walk
but He walked in the reality of God’s kingdom [John 8:23]. He did
the works that He did because He walked in the reality of God’s
kingdom; He assured His disciples that the same works that He did
the disciples will do also. The works of Jesus are not just limited
to miracles but also in manifesting the mystery of God’s kingdom
before the nations so that they may see it, comprehend it and be
saved. We are called to manifest this mystery by demonstrating the
fruits of perfection in the midst of a dark world. The nation on
beholding this mystery made manifest in us will have to choice but
to glorify the name of the Lord.

THE WAY WE WERE CREATED
The truth is that God created all things perfect in the beginning
but man has always sought to go His own way. All things were created
beautiful and good in the beginning, God created man perfect and
complete, He is not a man who make mistakes from time to time, He
made all things perfect. In Genesis 1:26 it is evident that
God has given man all things for His pleasure, He also gave man all
power and dominion over all the works of His hand.
Genesis 1:26-29 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after
our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed
them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living
thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have
given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of
all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a
tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
In Genesis 2, the bible gives a snap shot of the exceeding
great blessings which Adam had; He was planted in the garden of
Eden, the place of Pleasures and joy, a place of exceeding riches in
glory, a place where Adam lived in abundance lacking no good thing.
The streams of water that flowed from the heart of the garden are
those streams that gladden the hearts of men who live in the reality
God’s kingdom [Psalms 46:4, Psalms 36:7-8].
Adam lived in a realm of ecstasy, a realm of Joy, peace,
immortality and unlimited power all because He live in the bosom of
God the Father. This is the work of God towards men, He gives all
that He has and all that He is to men withholding anything. God
created man perfect but man has gone His way.
Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made
man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
THE ORIGIN OF EVIL
If God created everything beautiful then where did all the evil
which that define this age come from? If God created everything
perfect, how come we find ourselves a fallen creation. The answer is
simple, Man has strayed away from His original state by the lure of
Satanic influence ruling this age. The wisdom of this world which
operates on the foundation of covetousness and lust has lured man
away from His place in God. The is the Adam-like conscience, a
conscience that goes on backsliding away from the truth to receive
the lie. The wisdom of this world sees gain of this world and
acknowledgement in this world as gain and godliness only to drown
into the pool of faithlessness and destruction. Seeking to be wise
in the ways of this world man becomes a fool.
Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good
for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to
be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof,
and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did
eat.
From the moment Adam took of that fruit he became self conscience
and began a process of carving out an image that is separate and
independent of the living God. Like a tree branch cut off from the
stem Adam began a life as a separate entity from God, He was created
nude but never aware of this because He was caught up into God’s
glory, He lived in the glory of God. The moment He partook of the
tree of the knowledge and good and evil which is doctrine of this
world which works and in hand with carnality, He lost glorious cover
of God; He fell short of the glory of God the same way we all fell
in our Adam-like consciousness. From that moment He started walking
after the flesh and identifying Himself with the flesh. Adam now
found Himself outside the presence of God in outer darkness; out of
the God’s favour and blessings.
Genesis 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden
of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Adam was thrown out of the garden of God into a spiritual desert
where the land is not good, instead of good fruits as it was in the
beginning, Adam began reaping thorns. This means He had lost His
Joy, His peace, longevity and power of God for tribulation, torment
and death. After sowing to the flesh and it’s desires for gain of
this world, He started to reap death. This is the state of unbelief
found in this world today, that is why Jesus used the phrase, “Ye of
little faith”. So the world system is nothing but a union of souls
ignorant of the living God: souls who individually and collectively
fix their minds on riches of this material world for a covering only
to discover at the end of days that true covering and riches is
conscious knowledge and faith in the living God.
Genesis 3:17-19 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened
unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I
commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is
the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all
the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring
forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the
ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and
unto dust shalt thou return.
Spiritualy speaking from the moment Adam lost fellowship and
consciousness of the living God He died. In God’s presence is Joy,
but outside His presence is weeping and gnashing of teeth. No
matter how much a man gathers or achieves in this world, it will
never cool the torment found outside of God’s presence. Can a branch
survive when cut off from it’s Stem?, Can a fish live outside water?
Can Man survive without air? In likewise manner a man without a
knowledge of the living God is dead in His ignorance. When I say
knowledge, I am speaking here of face to face knowledge not just
some form of religious knowledge, we all have to continuous grow in
the knowledge of His presence until we are no more.
Psalms 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence
is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures
for evermore.
All men live in the same sin that Adam committed and lived in, we
all have unconsciously and consciously put on the same mind of Adam,
a mind that withdraws from God for the gain of the world. We do this
when we walk according to the flesh. This is the root of suffering
and tears in the world today. Men have left their original spiritual
states as sons of God to be joined with this material world only to
discover at the end that it was all in vain “WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A
MAN TO GAIN THIS WORLD AND LOSE HIS SOUL?”
It is
infinite and utter foolishness.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;
DESTROYING THE WALL OF SEPERATION IN THE
MIND
The presence of God where the garden of Eden can not be described
with physical parameters like direction, space and time, it is a
spiritual reality. The presence of God is found in the highly
exalted kingdom which can be reached only in our consciousness. It
does not matter if you have a physical body or not, what matters is
the state of our consciousnesses. Jesus walked in this reality and
we are called to walk in it also. He was conscious of Father’s
presence and had His being in it, He lived by doing the will of the
Father.
John 10:30 I and my Father are
one. .
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:
but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left
me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
God never left His post it is men who are lured away by the
deceitfulness of this material world and therefore leave the
presence of God. The separation that we seem to feel between
ourselves and God is a separation that occurs only in our minds and
consciences. A strong wall of separation has been placed in our
minds by a guilty, defiled and self pitying conscience that we put
on in this world. This Evil conscience that causes a sense of
separation is further feed on by the systems of men and the systems
of religion. These systems widen the Gap by not revealing your true
identity as one and inseparable from the living God. While we say we
are naked and unworthy the Father is asking who told you are naked?,
who told you are unworthy? So you see, God does not see you as a
sinner or naked, it is only a function of our minds or conscience.
Colossians 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should
all fulness dwell;
Colossians 1:20-22 And, having made peace through the blood of his
cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say,
whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21 And
you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by
wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his
flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable in his sight:
We who are of the faith are sanctified by faith in the blood of
Jesus, our conscience is purified by faith in the blood of the lamb.
The wall of separation in our conscience is destroyed forever by our
faith in the cross of Jesus, this is the only way we can find
ourselves back to the presence of God with all boldness. It is
enough to get a revelation of the eternal workings of the cross in
our lives and indeed towards the world; It is enough to get a
revelation of the thoughts of God towards you, His thoughts are
thoughts of good and welfare towards you to bring you to an expected
end of Joy and peace; You have to understand that God does not see
you as a sinner but a legitimate Son of His. Do not let the theories
and the beliefs of men hinder you from hearing the true heart beat
of God; also do not let the words of religious teachers in all
spheres of religion deceive you into thinking that the blood of
Jesus in insufficient for you. Our righteousness is a free gift from
God not by religious works or association which is preached all over
the world today, those who preach otherwise in subtle ways are only
placing a stumbling block before God’s children so that they can
keep them in bondage unto themselves and their systems. It does not
matter how you feel of yourself as a person; it does not matter what
you perceive as your imperfect state, all we have to do is
understand that He is here to justify us and not to condemn us. He
is just to forgive us of every short coming all we have to do is
believe and continue in our faith in Him.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
The foundation of the faith is found in our ability to comprehend
the eternal sacrifice of the Lord Jesus on the Cross. The blood of
Jesus eternally speaks mercy before the Father and the Father hears
the Son [Hebrew 12:24]. Faith in the blood is the only way
back into the presence of God. In Adam all have sinned and receive
their just reward (Death), but in Christ we rediscover the liberty
to enter back into the presence of God having a conscience covered
by is blood.
Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence
by the faith of him.
Romans 5:16-17 And not as it was by one that sinned, so
is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation,
but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they
which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.).

RE-DISCOVERING THE GARDEN IN US
Seeing the suffering and tribulation in this dark world, God has
sent His Son (Christ) to this world in the form of man to show man
the way back to God’s presence in the garden. Christ the spirit put
on a flesh body and descended to destroy the works of the Devil
which has held men in captivity of fear and death. He is
illuminating our eyes of understanding so that we can see the
original pattern that was in the beginning before that which is
false came into place. The dark wisdom of this age which is guarded
closely by the principalities and powers working through Religion
and all forms of Humanistic Societies are destroyed by the knowledge
of the truth coming forth from the Christ. He came to set the
captives free, free from the shackles of demonic concepts and
beliefs of men that have put men in fear and torment of the concept
called death.
Adam was buried in the grave from the moment He started to be
influenced by the lies of this age which is governed by the prince
of this world, Satan. Dust you are and to dust you return was the
first funeral, Adam died in His sins and trespasses. We all in the
Adam-like consciousness died like Adam and have been buried in a
flesh and blood consciousness, but God is calling all men to come
forth from the grave (dust) now. The voice of God in this hour is
saying come back into the garden of God; come back into the light,
come back into pleasures, come back into immortality.
.
1Corinthians 15:20-22 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and
become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man
came death, by man came also the resurrection of the
dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be
made alive.
In the awakening we find ourselves back in God’s presence, back in
His loving hands. We begin to feel His love, a love that surpasses
the knowledge of men., love stronger than death and hell. That
breath or life of God which we lost in Adam is restored back to us
causing us to ascend back into God’s presence in the garden or
paradise of God, very much the same way Adam ascended and was placed
in the garden.
Genesis 2:7-8 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 living soul. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward
in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
The scriptures in the early Chapter of Genesis are actually
spiritual books, by now we know that God does not need to mould
physical mud and sculpture man from it and breath physical breath
into it then call Him man. All these are snap shots from the mind of
God which were written by natural minded people who themselves did
not understand what they were writing at that time; they are snap
shots that actually reveal God’s redemption plan for man. This
scripture doesn’t point to the fact that the origin of man is dust.
The scripture is only revealing the revival process of men dead in
their sins and trespasses, it reveals God’s work of pulling men out
of the pit and placing them in the place of life and pleasures.
Being placed into the place of life in God’s presence brings us back
to the beginning, that is why the bible says in the beginning. The
beginning is the state in which we were created before descending
into lowers realms. We as the redeened of the Lord can at this point
in time stand in the beginning, the same way Jesus did when He said
before Abraham was I am. The beginning is the realm of God’s kingdom
the realm that’s is before all.
In the awakening we find ourselves in the Paradise of God (Garden of
God) a place of rest, power, joy and pleasures; a place were we lack
no good thing. In this place the elements of this world serve the
overcomer so that all you have to do is maintain yourselves in Him.
This is the place where we rule over all on the same throne of God
in oneness with Him. Someone might ask “How can God give man His
Throne to rule with Him?” We doubt that God can freely give us all
that He is and all that He has because we have unconsciously
recreated God in the image of man in our minds. Even after He has
promised His throne to all that overcome this dark age by His
counsel people still doubt.
Revelations 3:20-21 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will
I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am
set down with my Father in his throne.
The streams of living water which flowed from the beginning begins
to flow again. The desert-like state of our souls are transformed
into the state of a well watered garden. For this motive Jesus spoke
of rivers of living water flowing from our inner depths when we
listen to the spirit and believe.
Isaiah 35:1-2 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad
for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing:
the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of
Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and
the excellency of our God.
The wilderness or desert places refer to the souls of men
languishing in unbelief outside the presence and glory of the living
God. It is the curse of those who live in the Adam-like conscience
of flesh and blood.
To rediscover the garden within the first thing is to open our
spiritual ears and listen to what the spirit is saying in this very
hour. As we listen we should crucify our false sense of self we have
acquired in this dark age and put on the new image (or lost image)
in Christ, the image which is being revealed to us by the spirit in
this hour. We have to start and continue a walk in Christ and as
Christ, always growing in the knowledge of the garden within us.
Understanding this mystery is like discovering a treasure and
knowing it’s worth, one sells all that he has to keep it because
nothing can be compared with it.
Matthew 13:44-46 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure
hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for
joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that
field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,
seeking goodly pearls: 46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great
price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
God Keep You
all. .
