‭1 Corinthians 15:35-58 KJV‬

[35] But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? [36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: [37] and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: [38] but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. [39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. [40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. [41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. [42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: [43] it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: [44] it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. [45] And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. [46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. [47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. [48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. [49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. [50] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. [51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. [54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. [55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. [57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. [58] Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

So have we come to Part 3 of this chapter today. And it is my hope, that by what you have read, you are filled with hope. It is further my hope that you will see what you were sown into, and what harvest is awaited. God then the sower, and we the crop; yielding accordingly, fruit, according to our kind.

But, this chapter also gives us more, it tells us when this resurrection will take place. Even at the last Trump, and then, those that are still alive, will be changed.

Friends, it is easy to fool someone who does not know better. And, don't you know, you cannot use what you do not know? What sword will you then use if you do not know the Word of GOD? The enemy has installed his ministers too, don't you know that by now? A deceiving spirit, covers all he covets with deceptions and lies. Don't you know that even those that are deceived fell victim to a vicious lie? Don't you know the destructive nature of an abusive liar? So shall the abusive spirit convince his target that he is something that he is not, so he can be used to further that lie. And, can we now come to an agreement, man has suffered enough lies and the Truth is needed to set mankind on the course of Salvation?

If I should say, you will die tomorrow, for the sake of consideration. How would you change your life today? If it was a guaranteed outcome? What of worth is left undone, what prayers would then be needed? Would we then still pray, "Thy will be done?" Or, does our own will then take the presidency, for the sake of survival? And if we then go to this sleep that will bring us to a resurrection some day, in which Spirit do we wish to be laid down in, in Christ Jesus, or in another of the hosts that rules over man? For there are two resurrections, the first at this last Trump and then the last unto the White Throne Judgements. And do Revelations not teach us that those that are part of the first resurrection will not have part in the second death?

Friends, can we now get serious about our faith? Can we consider our purpose? Is it then for our will or the will of GOD when He said, "Let there be light?" Even, "Let us make man in Our image." "For GOD so loved the world, that He gave his only Begotten Son, that whosoever would believe in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." Now, I speak here straight from memory, a remembrance brought to me by the Spirit of GOD in me. I am reminded of the Word of GOD, and the hope unto Salvation I have in Jesus Christ. What if the day of decision is this very day we are in now? Don't we all only have the time that GOD has provisioned for us?

If you do not believe in the resurrection, then life may be wasted in fear of death. Christ is indeed risen, the first fruit of our Hope. And by the Word of GOD, it is certain. What then is faith, but believing in a promise? Don't you think that He that made you had a purpose for you all along? And by Paul's explanation, who puts the seed in the ground, to come and dig it out in its filthy state? No, the grain must die and germinate, it must sprout. It must grow according to its kind to produce the fruit it was sown for in the first place. Friends, that means GOD knew the outcome, and He planned accordingly for a crop that would produce exactly what He wanted. He is the Creator. GOD'S Will be done. Does the farmer plant and leave the field without care?

Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior said Himself, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. What is in us that does not resemble that Way? For if we are not in His Way, then we are not in the Truth, neither shall we have that Life. The plant does not determine how it grows, it does not determine its kind, the seed from which it came does. Neither does the plant feed itself, nor does it cause the rain that falls upon it. All is brought unto it, and it is in the soil it was planted in. Neither does the plant harvest its own fruit, but He that planted, comes to harvest for the yield of His Harvest. We were planted, we were cared for and provided for, all we need to do is grow from what was provided to us. And if we do not produce the fruit, have we then not become like the tare? Is the tare then not destined for the fire?

I speak from the examples left for us, so it may be understood. But know this too, we are not just wheat. We were created in the likeness of GOD. So, He calls us His Children, all those who look like his nature. GOD is Love. GOD is Spirit. GOD IS HOLY and GOD is righteous. God does not lie. I think I have written just enough for you to consider again the way you are walking in. How then shall we rule and reign with Christ, if we look nothing like Him? Especially Spiritually? For GOD declared that Jesus Christ was His Son, how then do we be called GOD'S children? We must grow in the nature of the seed that we came from. We must refuse that which is not likened to GOD'S intention. Is that not what we were taught, refuse the devil and he shall flee from you?

At this late stage of the process mankind was placed in, I call to you to reconsider your ways and measure it against the standard that we were given in the Word of Him that sowed us. Reconsider what you are part of. Reconsider what you believe, according to the Word and not the word of men. No! Consider the Word for mankind, from Him that made us.

If GOD said, this is how it will be, it will. If we do not believe that, our belief is in vain. Then we believe in a lie, which is the seed of that old serpent in Eden.

Shalom

‭1 John 4:7-10 KJV‬

[7] Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. [8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. [9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. [10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

And then more…

‭1 John 4:11-15 KJV‬

[11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. [12] No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. [13] Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. [14] And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. [15] Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
