Throughout the bible we see how Satan has tried to destroy the seed of the woman. That same spirit is at work in the earth today.
Finally, this seed of the woman found its way down to a young unmarried girl called Mary. This girl encountered the Holy Spirit in a unique way.
LUKE 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
It was very important that this seed would not be a child of the Adamic race who had fallen. It could not be the seed of a fallen race, yet the seed had to be of the human race. So how would this work? Jesus was born of Mary but His father was that of God. That is why Mary could not conceive through a normal human man. This was the seed of the woman prophesied about in the Garden eastward in Eden.
This supernatural seed could not be the seed of a fallen human being, it had to be the very seed of God. As soon as this child–the seed–was born we have a repeat of what Satan did in the times of Moses. Herod made a decree that all of the new born children were to be killed. This attempt to destroy the true seed of the woman failed. Joseph was given a dream to take the young child Jesus to Egypt in order to escape this slaughter.
Finally, we have the words that rang down throughout eternity: IT IS FINISHED.
JOHN 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the spirit.
Notice that he first bowed his head and then gave up the spirit. Jesus had complete control over his death. No one could take his life, he laid it down.
This seed of the woman Jesus, was born the son of man and took upon Himself the sin of the entire race of humans and died for their sins, thus legally cancelling Satan’s hold on mankind.
Satan’s rule over mankind and this planet which was given to him by a man Adam, was legally broken and transferred back to mankind by a man Jesus. That’s why Jesus had to become one of us, a man. However, this time it was a perfect man without sin.
Now, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, the human race could start over again, legally taking on the original mandate that was given to Adam. In order to do that, mankind needed to be reborn, to be born from above. This rebirth would change our ancestry and change who we are. We no longer were a child of Adam, we through this rebirth became a child of God.
To fulfill our destiny we must be born from above.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1 PETER 1:23 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
The word “seed” here is from the Greek word spora, which (by implication) means parentage or seed, a begetting of children. Jesus said this to the Pharisees who had rejected Him.
JOHN 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
Adam had walked in the very life of God in pure innocence. If he had passed the test that God had given him, not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God would have allowed him eventually to eat of the tree of life.
He would have lived forever and bred a flawless race of people. However, his allegiance to God had to be proven. God’s universal law of free will was first tested in Eden. Adam’s fall was not just a mistake; Adam chose to give his allegiance to Lucifer. This was about whose nature the human race would have. It would define the very character and essence of all future offspring.
This fallen nature of the first man Adam would be reproduced in every human being. It would be the prototype for the rest of mankind. That is why Jesus made this remarkable statement about the human race: John 8:44a “Ye are of your father the devil.”
Now all the way through the Old Testament God set in motion a temporary procedure of animal sacrifice that would cover the sin of mankind. Along with this, He gave rules of behavior that mankind were to follow. This was embodied in the Ten Commandments.
The sin of man could be covered but the nature of man was not changed. However, there were many who would walk faithfully in the light God had given them, that enabled them to have a relationship with God because of the covering.
The covering of sin enabled man to experience the grace and goodness of God, however, the race would have a continuing need to be covered.
Nevertheless, the New Creation Man could not come into existence until after the death and resurrection of Jesus.
In his death, Jesus took the entire human race with Him and in Him, when He died and rose again. Because the wages of sin is death, Jesus had to take the entire human race with him into death, and when the price was paid He rose, giving the entire human race a fresh start. Still, the free will of man was not changed; mankind would have to choose whom they would serve.
You can choose to be born again or choose not to be. JOHN 3:5–7 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
This beginning of a new race of people in this earth was a marvellous thing that only God could devise and carry through to completion. Despite Adam’s failure, God made a way to restore His original plan and purpose.
This New Creation was unique, and it brought God’s plan and purpose of having a family of sons and daughters that are in His image and likeness back into legality.
The seed of the woman was first seen in Jesus. He was the seed. For three and a half years, He walked this earth showing us what this seed in humans looked like; healing the sick, performing miracles and walking as a divine human, and above all manifesting the Love of God to the world.
He brought the ways, power, and culture of heaven to earth. There were no limitations in His walk on this earth. Now He is saying to you and me, “Go and do likewise.”
As Jesus left this earth He said, “Go into the whole world and spread this good news.” The seed of the woman, this new creation of humans, was to go into the whole world to preach and demonstrate the gospel–the good news.
Now, we know that a seed takes time to grow, mature, and come to the fullness of its purpose. Jesus spoke of this in Mark, chapter 4. MARK 4:8 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
We also see this in Ephesians: EPHESIANS 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ
There will be a people in this generation who will grow up into the fullness of Jesus. This fullness of Christ in them will manifest to the world what Jesus is like and who He is.
The fullness of this seed will come forth again in this earth and just as Jesus did they will walk this earth for three and a half years, demonstrating God’s love and power and finally taking back this planet from Lucifer.
On the cross Jesus cried “it is finished” The head of the serpent was Crushed. Jesus now waits for us to finish the task; Jesus has done his part now we must do ours.
HEBREWS 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;13 from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. The word “expecting” in this verse is the Greek word ekdechomai meaning to await, to wait for, to expect, look (tarry) for.
Jesus is now waiting for the true Church to rise up and finish or complete the prophetic word given in Eden. This is the commission of this final generation.
The Church has had the concept that we are now waiting for the rapture to take us all out of this world. However, just the opposite is true: He is waiting for us to reap the final harvest and finish the task, taking back this planet for Jesus.
There will be a rapture before and after the great tribulation, but first there will come a unity of the church and a great outpouring of the Spirit and the second American revolution/civil war.
This war will take place in the spirit realm where we will attack the specific evil strong holds in America but there will most likely be some manifestations of it in the natural realm. In the next election Trump will become the president but it is going to swing way to the right. Presently the body of Christ in the earth is more like a noisy crowd than a disciplined military force. There will not be a peaceful solution to the conflicts that have risen in our nation.
The true Church must finally rise up as a totally triumphant Church. The earth originally was given to man and it will be the corporate man–the Church– that will take it back and restore this planet. However, maturing takes time; we are now in a time when everything is in a state of acceleration.
“The First Great Awakening preceded the Revolutionary War. The Second Great Awakening preceded the Civil War. It is easy to see a direct link between the messages of these Great Awakenings and how they ignited these wars. The light of these Awakenings exposed darkness to the degree that it could no longer be tolerated. Likewise, the light already being revealed from the emerging Awakening in this time is causing great agitation in our land.” Joyner, Rick. The Second American Revolution/Civil War (p. 32). MorningStar Publications, Inc.. Kindle Edition.
A new movement is coming that will restore The Constitution to its rightful place so that we can become the nation we are called to be. Joyner, Rick. The Second American Revolution/Civil War (p. 39).
In 1987, I was shown in a prophetic experience that we had been turning to the left as a nation for a long time. I was also shown a coming sharp turn to the left. I was not shown whether this was good or bad, just that it would happen. I was then shown a reaction to this and a turn back to the right. I saw that we would never again make a sharp turn to the left, but there was a danger that we would go too far to the right. Joyner, Rick. The Second American Revolution/Civil War (p. 44).
Time is very short now, God is going to do a quick work. There is a seed coming forth in the earth now–a mature seed that will come forth and finish the task of restoring the earth back to its former glory. This is the maturing of a company of people who are following the Lord with their whole heart.
There is another Seed coming forth in the earth today, a Seed that is coming to full maturity.
REVELATION 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Does this sound familiar? It is reminiscent of the time just before Jesus was born when the devil used Herod to try and destroy all the male children under two years of age.
REVELATION 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. This is the first rapture.
There is another Seed being prepared in these days: Sons of God–Sons of the Kingdom, And Satan will do everything to stop this Seed just as throughout the ages he tried to stop Jesus, the seed of the woman.
Our Christian life is a journey which Scripture portrays as a progressive journey that has unimaginable rewards for those who finish the journey. This journey finishes at a spiritual or inner place called Zion. It is a place of manifest glory, power, and the realization of the goal. This all takes place while you are still on Earth.
God’s desire has always been to have men and women with a heart like His heart. He yearns for His children to become mature sons. We see this progressive growth portrayed as 30-fold, 60-fold and 100-fold in Mark, chapter 4, verse 8.
We also see this in the layout of the Tabernacle of Moses, which is divided into three levels of growth and advancement, namely the Outer Court, The Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies. Very few throughout the ages have made it into the highest level of growth.
When Jesus was at a wedding in the town of Cana, He turned the water into wine, thus keeping the best wine until the last. There is a wedding to take place in these end times, where the Bride will make herself ready for the marriage of the Lamb.
This generation will see a great number of Christians who have finished the journey and made themselves ready by availing themselves of the grace of God that is now available for this generation.
