Concept of Fire Baptism
Today’s Focus: Death to Life: The Biological Order of Creation
Scripture: Genesis 8:22; John 12:24; 1 Corinthians 15:55; Romans 1:20
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
In Genesis 8:22 we see the Lord telling us that while the earth remains there will be a seedtime and harvest. Now, God is showing us a pattern here that Life is only activated at the height of death. Now let’s lay this other scripture out so that we can form the picture.
John 12:24: Verily, verily I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: BUT IF IT DIE, IT BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT.
Now to the carnal person this is weird and does not make sense so let’s seek understanding to this process of death and life. When we look at a seed and it’s process to yielding fruit where is the life? Now we may think that it is found in the seed? Well if that is the case then seeds should always be sprouting with no soil. Moreover, prolonged exposure to water and the earth can only produce decay and death of the seed. In addition, life is not contained in the soil. For real? If there was life in the soil we could plant little pebbles and grow rocks. So where is the life if it is not in the seed and the soil? Once the seed reaches it‘s full state of decay and death, it encounters the Spirit of Life which was infused into the earth at the creation. Remember God is the giver of life and nobody else and remember Holy Spirit was the first person of the Godhead in the Earth at the time the Lord spoke the creation into existence.
Once Death meets Life, suddenly out of death comes life because life swallows up death.
1 Corinthians 15:55: O death, where is thy sting? O, grave where is thy victory? This is how death gives way to life in the biological and natural order of creation. This is pre-programmed by God in the earth to show something about God and moreover, something about us. But let’s prove this.
Romans 1:20: For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
So God has infused the Earth with Him and His Life so that all things exist in a balance that exemplifies something about Him and even ourselves so that we are without excuse that God and the Godhead exist.
In the next message we will look at the spiritual order of creation as it pertains to death and life.
