Debrecen Messages #8 -Genesis 1–2 and the One New Man: God’s Purpose for a New Humanity

Now, I have to tell you all, I’m way ahead of my story, because Adam’s soul was not like the soul you have. Adam’s spirit, not exactly like your spirit today either. So let me just stop and make a very important point. Adam fell one day, right?

Say yes. Did he change? Yes, a great deal, he changed. Now we’ve been saved. Did that bring us back and make us just like Adam before the fall? No. So Adam changed after the fall, and then we get saved after the fall. Has there ever been a man who has ever existed who was like Adam? The Adam who was previous to the fall? That’s a good question. We’re going to stop and think about it.

His wife. Woo! Yes. Abel would come up with an answer nobody’s ever thought of in all of human history. You are correct.

Then I will have to say, has there ever been since Adam and Eve before the fall? No. No, there never has been. You said, What about Jesus? No. No. No, different. Fallen man, different. Saved man, different. So, keep in mind from this point on, as I talk to you about Adam, that there’s never been anything like him since then. And there are several differences, but I’ll tell you the big one.

Alright, let’s meet Adam. Adam is a pile of dirt. God breathes into him something of the heavens, and man becomes a living soul who has a spirit and a body. Now this is important. He is soul. He is spirit. And he is body. In that order. Or I should do it this way. He is soul, spirit. Daniel, give me your hand, and he is body. All right. Thank you. Do you see the three parts? Do it again. We’ll do it like that. All right. Okay, good. There we are. Soul, spirit, and body. Jesus Christ came to earth. He was spirit, soul, and body. Fallen man is not a body. He is body, I’m trying to find that, there he is. Alright, there he is, folks. He is flesh. Body or flesh and soul with a dead spirit. That’s fallen man.

What’s a Christian? He is spirit, soul, and body. No, wait a minute, that’s not true, he is spirit, soul, and a fallen body. Thank you very much, Daniel.

Did you understand that? Ok, let’s do it again. Adam is soul, spirit, and body. That’s not the proper order for Adam, it’s not the proper order for Jesus, it’s not the proper order for the new man who will come. The proper order is spirit, soul, and body. Spirit, soul, and body. Man is soul, spirit, and body.

He rises up. I tell you something, folks, he has a body similar to the body you’re going to have someday. Only your body’s going to be a little better than his, but he has a body that is translucent. Gosh, how do you say that in your language? Not transparent, but translucent. Do we have anything in this room that is translucent? Yes. That light shield right there, that globe is translucent. It’s not transparent. That window is transparent. Your glasses are transparent. That is translucent. It’ll let light out. Okay. Let’s hear from the Polish brothers. You don’t have anything translucent in Poland. No, you must. There must be, huh? We have lights, so… Okay, but that’s light with a fog. He had a translucent body that could radiate light out. And he was clothed in light.

He had clothes. He was clothed in light. God is clothed in light. Adam was clothed in light. Where was the light coming from? The light was coming from his spirit, and Adam stood up, now remember, nothing like this ever existed before and has never existed since. Adam stood up, and he could see God. Now God was invisible, but he could see him anyway.

Adam looked around, and he saw the angels, and the angels were really mystified. Now what’s going on here? How can someone who is visible see the invisible, and how can anything see that which cannot be seen? And he could see the unseen. Now that doesn’t mean he could just see God or that he could just see the angels. Do you understand that there is an element of seeing the unseen? Have you ever seen the unseen? There comes a moment when you see something that’s not visible.

This is revelation. That why we are having these morning meetings. We are talking about the ability to see the unseen. When you see your Lord, oh that what he like, oh that my Lord. There’s a burst of revelation, and you see the unseen.

Well, Adam had a perception of spiritual things. He had insight. He could see into the ways of God. He could see the unseen. Now, brother, you have a corrupted, fallen body, but you have a living spirit, and you have the right to see things unseen. Maybe you can’t see them all the time. Maybe they come in little spurts, but you have a right to see what man cannot see.
