 Death Theologians have come up with a phrase concerning what happened in the Garden of Eden. And it’s not a bad
phrase. They call it the Fall of Adam, because he fell from a state of perfection to imperfection. But the Bible doesn’t use that term, if I’m, if I’m correct, it doesn’t use that term, fall, it uses, death. The day you eat thereof, Adam, ye shall die. We are in a state of death and death means separation.
Special guest Ron Poch explains Jesus came to give us abundant life. God is interested in restoring us to full fellowship with Himself. When Jesus was on the cross, and there are many statements that, that have been made and been preached on, but one
of the last statements that He made was, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Restoration of what God has is based upon the forgiveness of sins, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary. He is our sacrifice, and whatever you have done, whatever sins you’ve committed, it cannot keep you from the grace of God.

There is a spirit of fear, but our Lord said something to His disciples in Luke Chapter 12 and verse 32. He said, Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you
the kingdom.
Special guest Ron Poch explains the some thing that take place in the lives of Christians, that you really have to have a walk with God. You don’t need to be possessed with a spirit of fear, but not all fear is bad. Fear can be
arrestive. It can stop you from going in a certain direction, but when it becomes paralytic, that’s when it’s damaging.
Our God has been at work, and today, He’s at work in your life and in mine, to deliver us from the spirit of fear, and fear is a spirit. Fear does have torment, and it can just be very, very debilitating in your walk with God. And there are things that have happened in, in my life, and I want to give
testimony of what took place, just a few weeks ago.

 Filling up a vessel In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but
of wood and of earth; some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man
therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour,
sanctified, and fit, or meet, for the master’s use, and prepared unto
every good work. Special guest Ron Poch, provides some illustrations,
because many times an ounce of illustration is worth a ton of talk.

 Who Was Mechisedec? Melchesidec is a very large subject, we have a 14 part series to complete the study. Melchisedec is very seldom mentioned in church sermons, Sunday School class and even in some Bible studies, whether they be at home or during the week at church, or even in theological courses in Bible college.It’s a very, very big and exciting subject, but it’s very seldom mentioned, because there’s very little known about it, because there’s very few references to it in the Bible, and that is, Who was Melchisedec?
Long before the Levitical priesthood was established, a higher order was established. Melchisedec is a dual office, serving as Priest and King. The writer of the book of Hebrews draws a comparison, between the Melchisedec order and the Levitical order of priests. We begin with a genealogy in Genesis, taking a look at men who made offers unto the Lord long before the institution of the Levitical priesthood and compare the functions of these two offices.
The Levitical order of Priesthood is over, but the Melchizedek office is still in existence. We define that office, its function in the earth today, and its function in the coming kingdom of God.

 Hot and Cold The Laodicean Church age reflects the condition of the modern day Church in which we now live. We now have an institutionalized Church. It’s gone from an Apostolic experience to a social, financial institution. A nation’s culture is the result of that nation’s religion and our modern church has been influenced by the culture instead of the Church influencing the culture. We want to study what the Laodicean Church was like.
The Lord Jesus said, in Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
The City of Laodicea obtained water from hot springs piped in from some distance away. By the time it reached the city, this water was too warm to drink, and too cool to use as a health bath. So it was considered lukewarm. That’s a description of the city and the age, in which these people felt financially secure. They felt financially independent. They felt as though they had been blessed in the material realm.
There’s a strong lesson for us to heed and to obey. The prosperity of the modern church, has ruined genuine spirituality. The church’s spiritual condition was indicative of the social condition. I’m talking about the Church at large, throughout North America and other parts of the world, we are rich, we are increased with goods, you can hear many ministers brag about their riches, put a spiritual value on money, and especially the money that’s coming their way, and teach the prosperity message, not with a humble spirit, but with a proud spirit, and give all types of Biblical justifications for their wealth, but it’s going to fade away, because their wealth is based on the dollar bill. The material possessions all have monetary value, whether it be a home, fancy cars, airplanes, property. It all has monetary value based upon the U.S. dollar. And that is riches according to the value of the carnal standard of life, money, just filthy lucre. The modern church today, in my opinion, has too much money.

 The Resurrection
Throughout
the history of the Christian church, many different groups, denominations,
different movements, different doctrines have developed over the last two
thousand years. A lot of different ideas and many different ideas prevail
today, and it is a wonder if some of them are Biblical, sometimes you wonder if
some of them are even within the scope of Christianity.
One of the things that I'm
referring to is the arrest, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of Jesus
Christ as prescribed by the scriptures, according to the proper timing. Some
have said, well, it doesn't matter when Jesus was crucified. It doesn't matter
when He rose from the dead. They're only concerned about the fact that He was
crucified, and that He did rise from the dead.
But
the Bible sets down a pattern. And in order for Jesus Christ to prove to the
people of His day and our day that He was and is the Messiah, then the
prophecies must come to pass according to the proper chronology and according
to the time clock that God had set down for different things to transpire. It gives us an idea and a pattern by which the Lord
works with that nation called, The Seventy Week nation

 Three Unclean Spirits
Three unclean spirits have been released into this world. John the revelator is writing as he sees the vision. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
The three unclean spirits in this world are religious, they are causing trouble and distress to nations and around these spirits wars take place.
In the book of I Timothy Chapter 4 and verse number 1, Paul is speaking to Timothy and he said, Now the Spirit, that’s the Holy Spirit, speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. There’s a lying spirit in the land. There is a lying spirit in the land, and this lying spirit is convincing people to depart from the faith that was given to the early Apostles, and that faith is summed up in I Timothy 3:16, without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh. And what that, and, and, the other five truths involved in that verse, what Paul is saying is that there’s a lying spirit in the land, a deceiving spirit, and it’s against Jesus Christ, in denying His Deity.
What is the antichrist spirit? In I John Chapter 4 verse 1, he says, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: But every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should appear, or come, and even already is now in the world.
When a spirit denies the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ that is the antichrist spirit. In I Timothy, Chapter 4, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils, Speaking lies in hypocrisy. Now what religions have denied or are still denying the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ?
