“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:6). Prior to now, flesh may have been seen as the natural birth, but we see that Jesus was referring to a state that man has fallen into. No one can be flesh except such a one is born of flesh. This does not mean to be born on earth of your biological parents.
“[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13). The will of the flesh is that which is contrary to the will of God. Man does not exist empty; he is not free in his house—the body. There are things that are going on over mankind that man is oblivious of. The will of birth contrary to the will of God carries in it the birth gene for mankind. Whenever Satan moves on men, he wants to birth them.
If a man is aware of this imminent danger, maybe he would be careful about how he lives. Man is ignorantly submitting to the process of a lifestyle he does not know of. Man does not just exist; things are taking place in his soul.
Jesus gives power for men to become sons of God and those who believe in his name are the ones born not of blood, the will of flesh and of man. These wills are enumerated in an order to show us that they are not of the same meaning. Being born of man is the perfect will of Satan, the will of the flesh is the acceptable will of Satan, and the blood is the good will of Satan. Everything starts from the blood, flesh is produced from the blood and then following flesh is perfect flesh— man. Man is the highest production that blood can produce. A full-grown flesh is man. These three wills of Satan are anti the will of God.
We also have the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God (Rom 12:2) just as we have the bad, acceptable and perfect will of Satan which is to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). Satan steals with blood. In the biology of child formation, the beginning of man is the movement of blood. After months of the blood working, it becomes flesh; then flesh matures for a period to become a baby-man. In God's divine order, we see that birth is being copied by either side. Satan copies the processes of birth and replicates it. The birth order is a spiritual activity.
Some thoughts are weightier than us. People are born of thought genetics. Through thoughts, a man can morph in his soul. Thoughts can be blood. Higher thoughts can be the will of flesh. Perfect thoughts can be the will of man. When you have a man who does evil, he is a man who is doing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It takes a man of the height to carry out that evil. If you are not responsive to the evil of that tree, nothing of that tree will have an effect on you.
Natural biology cannot make a quickening spirit. It can only produce flesh. If it is medically possible to inherit certain illnesses from our parents, it is possible to also inherit a sinful body. This is what the Bible wants to correct in us. The preaching of prosperity is not the answer to our problems. We have soul problems. The flesh can never pastor a church correctly because he does not care for their souls. He only cares for his own name and his selfish desires.
Biological birth is not the same as the birth program in the spirit, even though we can borrow words from the biological birth to explain what happened in the realm of the spirit.
Man was originally a living soul. In Genesis 6:3, he became flesh. The Lord said, “My spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh…” Gen. 6:3. Man was not always flesh from the beginning. He was a living soul. The flesh can be known through its choices (Gen. 6:1-2). These men were living souls and they were many. The Lord spoke because of the choices that the sons of God made as they chose wives. These sons of God were not angels. God was not against marriage; He gave their fathers wives. However, making choices is choosing your destiny. It can be a choice to be flesh or a living soul.
When Adam was made a living soul, he did not have a choice (Gen 2:7). God raised him that way, but Adam still had to choose to continue. The two trees are evidences that Adam had to choose, telling him that subsequent blessings would not be forced on him. God did not start Adam as flesh. He gave Adam a quality that would prevent him from being cheated. Satan could not force himself on Adam. He had to tempt him to be his child, just like he persuaded angels in heaven. Satan showed him another tree instead of God’s tree.
Jesus was also an Adam. ‘Get thee behind me’ was an Adamic statement (Matt. 16:23). Adam was supposed to rebuke the serpent. If he had done so, Satan would have left our universe. Even if he came back and Adam kept refusing, Adam would have eventually eaten the fruit of life and things would still be good; Satan would have been judged, and the lake of fire would have come immediately in Genesis. There would have been no need for Exodus, Leviticus or other books of the Bible.
It was the choices of the sons of God that turned them to flesh. Marrying those women meant they had chosen to be flesh. There are many ways we indirectly choose to be flesh in the order of the blood, the will of the flesh and the will of man. People do not know who or what they are becoming. Satan has made nations hard to get more flesh. He wants people to make decisions and take certain steps that will turn their minds from being good into flesh.
“But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; Then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.” (Deut. 32:15). A nation with riches can become flesh when its people have become fat. God told Moses that a time would come that the Israelites would wax fat and forget the Lord. To lightly esteem God is to lose the sense of God’s weightiness. Plenty can make a person become flesh. Success can make one forget the Lord God.
Our genes should not change because of things. Satan can anoint our goods with his genes for birth purposes. Everything on earth is anointed – cars, money, food, land and so on. When we have things in abundance, spirits would come to bring ideas to us. When God brings His things, Satan also uses the opportunity to birth so as to slow down God’s work. Many of us do not know what God does on our inside; how He stays the births of Satan and pushes his will away – blood will, flesh will and man will.
The will of a man is what the antichrist became. He is called the man of sin. He is a full-blown will and such a person cannot repent. The final will of sin is the will of man. Man, here refers to a spiritual evil man; he who is being born of the devil. “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.” (1 John 3:8a). This is how to be born of the will of man. Men don’t know what they are becoming. We’ve not seen the interpretation of that filth yet. Satan will make nations hard to get more flesh. Riches of nations can make them flesh.
What Satan teaches a man is sin. "Will" of Satan is sin. Committing sin is to be committed to Satan's will. Sin here is not an error. It's a commitment to evil. Loving the world is doing that which is ungodly. The first birth of the soul is synonymous with the first birth of God. "Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;" (Titus 2:12). Worldliness is the blood, ungodliness is the flesh and iniquity is the will of man; all these three things are against the total birth of God upon the soul.
Being born of the blood, flesh and of the will of man are negative birthings (John 1:13). The negative of everlasting life is the will of man, which is what iniquity works into the soul. Another word for everlasting life is sons of God. Everlasting life is the power to become a son of God. Christ is life and peace while the Son of the living God is life everlasting (Matt. 16:16). To receive Him is not just to be born again. To receive Him is to allow Him to live His life in you. The first life in the Son of God is the Christ life which begins with life and ends in peace. Christ life is life and peace, and the opposite is the life of the blood and the flesh. The last one is the will of man. Will is the provision of genes for birthing souls.
Divine power is God's power (2 Peter 1:3). The opposite of flesh is a godly man. The ungodly is the fleshly man. The congregation of the righteous is the congregation of the godly. God is amassing the godly together in order to bring judgment to the congregation of the ungodly with the teaching of God that will deal with the will of man, which is the genetics of iniquity. The will of man is the provision of iniquity gene. Satan has a lot of things to birth people with. So does God. Satan exemplify God in a measure. Angels are not ordinary beings; God dwells in their midst (Ps. 80:1). God is not far from them. If a cherub around God falls, you can imagine what he would know and the instruments at his disposal. So as Satan makes flesh, God makes spirits.
When a man gets born again, he is not free from this kingdom (kingdom of Satan) in the sense that he was born by that kingdom in a form. For him to be free, another birthing process must be initiated and completed upon him. This process starts from his spirit because he was born again with the formation of the former kingdom in his soul. “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3). Except a flesh is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Therefore, the New Birth will give one the capacity to see so one could escape from the previous birth of the kingdom of darkness.
After being born again, one gets the capacity to see another plane or dominion that has a birth canal for re-engineering that formation that the soul had with the devil. Entering the kingdom is not going to heaven. The kingdom has moved from heaven to the earth. God has decided that the kingdom will come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matt. 6: 10). This implies our life on earth is an opportunity for one thing, which is the entrance into the kingdom of God. Therefore, the essence of living is to change genes from birth to birth.
To see the kingdom is to comprehend or understand the mode of how it operates. When you see the kingdom, God gives you water and the spirit of the kingdom for the purpose of entrance. After which you continue to see the path until you enter the kingdom. When you have entered the kingdom, you become blood. This was the prophecy of Joel. “And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.” (Joel 2:30).
The kingdom of God is heaven and earth, which speaks of the heavenly dimension and the earthly dimension. In that dominion, there are also heavenly strata. Heaven is here around us. The Holy Ghost is a heaven as He has brought everything about heaven here. This means a man can be in heaven when he is moving around here. When a believer enters the kingdom, it is a sign of blood. This is a sign of victory and calls for jubilation that men are changing and will no longer be carnal. When one enters the kingdom, he becomes another kind of entity. This is deliverance. God turns his formation into another kind in such a way that Satan can no longer use the individual.
To come to these understandings, one needs to journey in scriptures and age and as these things begin to happen to one, one comes into the understanding. Arrival into the kingdom is entry into the courts of our God by water and spirit. Water of the word or of God, in doctrinal manner, is Christ Jesus. He is the foundation of the school of God. When you say you know Christ, you know the genetics of the first foundation called the rock. Man is grass and God cannot relate with grasses. Even when you get born again, you need to be turned from grass to rock and it takes some time to make one a rock. One does not change automatically. One needs to do the Will of the Father.
There is a kingdom against God's Kingdom. Satan designed dominion to kill souls. He does this by birthing a man and not by killing him physically. He makes the man his own by putting his genes in him and to take off this gene from man, another birth is needed -- it is called the birth in the Spirit (Jn. 3:6). In the spirit, this shows that such a person has become a child of the gene poured into him. Someone can be a child of God for many years and after a while Satan would work on him wanting to take him back like Paul who the messenger of Satan buffeted (2 Cor. 12:7). Satan fights those who are impossible for him to get because he can't get them on his side.
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." (John 3:6). Flesh has different glories. The farther the birth into that world, the more hardened the heart becomes. Then after some time the man can die completely. And God will not be able to get such a man's repentance.
"My spirit can no longer strive with man for he has become flesh" (Gen. 6:3a). It is not a good thing for God's spirit to give up on a man but Satan wants to get man to a place where it's impossible for God to reach him. It's good to know that even though one is born again, it is not a guarantee that one is saved. So we should check ourselves every day, lest our conscience be seared with hot iron or hardened. Everyone should be wise and protect his/herself including Pastors. Some preachers are safe to be under while some are not because they can introduce one to incorruptible seed.
In the kingdom there are grades of spirits just like there are grades of flesh (Jn. 3:6). In the kingdom, the first "spirit" is called blood then fire and smoke. There are also higher ones than these like clouds. Clouds are witnesses– they are everlasting spirits. All of them, the different spirit species are in the kingdom and God has all these genes in His pouch depending on where a man can reach.
"And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit." (1 Cor. 15:45). Quickening spirit is the highest peak of spirit in the kingdom. There is a spirit called life and peace, then there is a living spirit just like there was a living soul. In Adamic order, Adam had the highest grade of soul. There are life souls -- souls who live by faith. But Adam had an everlasting soul. He had an everlasting status. He was a soul of the Holy of Holies. But prophets -- living souls, sons of men like Jeremiah, Habakuk, Hosea are souls that have life "…who prophesied by the spirit of Christ that was in them." (1 Pet. 1:10). There's a Christ of the old order which is still Christos. These prophets were Christs in their order but someone like Daniel had an excellent spirit who can also be termed a living soul according to the revelation he had; Ezekiel also. Even Moses was a kind of living soul, but he was not as great as Enoch and Abraham. We can tell this by how long they lived here on earth. We all have different natures.
In the Old Testament, God was doing soul preservation. He was gathering souls in His garner for safety. God being with Israel was to save them; to preserve a nation. In the kingdom, there are grades of men. The greatest is not measured by how much he has done but who he is. The greatest in the kingdom is the "pure spirit" while He that sits on the throne is the greatest of the greatest whom God has rewarded. Jesus was the Son of the living God, but when He was raised from the dead, He became the begotten Son of God which is higher. Both are not the same glory. The latter is the Quickening Spirit which is what is fitted for the throne. It can only take a quickening spirit to sit on the throne. Angels are spirits but Jesus was made higher than the angels. So, what makes a man spirit is not his invisibility instead it is the spirit material (the worth) of his essence. Spirit means life. Angels are spirits but One was made better than them (Heb. 1:4).
