INCARNATION

Incarnation occurs when GOD, by HIS SPIRIT, enters the body made of clay or dirt, which is human flesh, and lives in this vessel to do HIS work in the world.1

We, by the virtue of accepting CHRIST’S SPIRIT entering into us, become the “sons of GOD” (1 John 3:1). The Scriptures say that we who are born again of the SPIRIT of GOD are the continuation of CHRIST’S incarnation on earth.2 This means those who persecute true Christians are persecuting CHRIST.

In a vision, CHRIST stopped the Apostle Paul in his tracks while he was on a mission to continue persecuting Christians. HE said, “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ME?” (Acts 9:4). HE did not say, “Why are you persecuting MY followers?” This was because CHRIST by the HOLY SPIRIT was in them, just as HE is in believers today.

It was most gracious of the LORD JESUS to have voluntarily taken on for HIMSELF a human body with its human nature.3 HE completed all that the FATHER sent HIM to do as a human, just like we are commissioned to do. HE did not use any of HIS supernatural powers as the SON of GOD while on earth in human flesh. HE proved that the life HE lived was also possible by other humans. The WORD states, “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15).4

The incarnation is the greatest event that ever occurred in the history of Heaven and Earth. The most important events are: (1) the creation of Heaven, Earth, and the entire Universe; (2) the incarnation of the SON of GOD becoming human; (3) the life and death of CHRIST, the incarnated ONE; (4) HIS resurrection back to life; (5) HIS ascension back to the FATHER in Heaven; (6) our incarnation; (7) our GOD-given ability to communicate directly with our LORD and our GOD as HIS children; (8) our cohabitation with GOD, walking as JESUS walked, doing all the mighty works that JESUS did on earth and even greater things, as we are GOD-men and women!6

CHRIST’S two natures were HIS at HIS miraculous conception and birth.7 This birth, this incarnation, is without parallel in history. JESUS was born to a virgin as prophesied by Isaiah: “Therefore the LORD HIMSELF shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a SON, and shall call HIS name IMMANUEL” (Isaiah 7:14).

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a SON is given: and the government shall be upon HIS shoulder: and HIS name shall be called WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE. Of the increase of HIS government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon HIS kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this” (Isaiah 9:6-7).

When we unite our spirit with CHRIST, the SPIRIT of GOD dwelling within our bodies makes us sons of GOD. First John 3:1 says, “Behold, what manner of love the FATHER hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of GOD: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew HIM not.”

When we choose to serve the LORD, we declare HIM to be the LORD of our entire life and live according to all the WORD of GOD, the Bible. JESUS is the WORD of GOD.8 Our FATHER in Heaven restores those who repent and believe the WORD, and adopts them into CHRIST to be sons with the same privileges as members of the divine family, and makes them joint-heirs of everything with CHRIST, Heaven included.9 The FATHER loves us as much as HE loves JESUS.10 We continue the works of CHRIST with the FATHER by the HOLY SPIRIT in us by bringing unbelievers to the truth of the gospel so they too can become the sons of GOD.11

Romans 8:15-18 states, “For ye [who are sons of GOD] have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the SPIRIT of adoption, whereby we cry, ABBA, FATHER. The SPIRIT itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of GOD: And if children, then heirs; heirs of GOD, and joint-heirs with CHRIST; if so be that we suffer with HIM, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

Galatians 4:4-7 states, “But when the fulness of the time was come, GOD sent forth HIS SON, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, GOD hath sent forth the SPIRIT of HIS SON into your hearts, crying, ABBA, FATHER. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of GOD through CHRIST.”

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath CHRIST with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of GOD with idols? for ye are the temple of the living GOD; as GOD hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their GOD, and they shall be MY people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a FATHER unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the LORD ALMIGHTY” (2 Corinthians 6:14-18). We get there by being the continuation of CHRIST’S incarnation right now.112

The Apostle Paul wrote, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of GOD” (Romans 12:1-2).

Isaiah 59:20-21, along with many Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures, tells of the incarnation: “And the REDEEMER shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob [Israel, and spiritual Israel], saith the LORD. As for ME, this is MY covenant with them, saith the LORD; MY SPIRIT that is upon thee, and MY WORDS which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.”

JESUS spoke to the FATHER saying, “The glory which THOU gavest ME I have given them; that they may be one, even as WE are one: I in them, and THOU in ME, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that THOU hast sent ME, and hast loved them, as THOU hast loved ME” (John 17:22-23). JESUS promises us, “If ye love ME, keep MY commandments. And I will pray the FATHER, and HE shall give you another COMFORTER, that HE may abide with you for ever; Even the SPIRIT of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth HIM not, neither knoweth HIM: but ye know HIM; for HE dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” “If a man love ME, he will keep MY WORDS: and MY FATHER will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make OUR abode with him” (John 14:15-17, 23).

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in CHRIST JESUS” (Galatians 3:28). “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” (Ephesians 4:13). GOD “hath put all things under HIS feet, and gave HIM to be the head over all things to the church, Which is HIS body, the fulness of HIM that filleth all in all” (Ephesians 1:22-23).

We are so close to the end of the last days of this world. It is time to choose life eternal or eternity in the torments of Hell.13 JESUS said, “Peace I leave with you, MY peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).14 You will be saved and become a member of HIS body if you surrender your life to GOD, make HIM your LORD, and receive HIS offer of salvation now. You can be part of GOD’S end-time army on earth and bring many to the truth, to receive the powerful SPIRIT of GOD dwelling in them.

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to JESUS by night, and said unto HIM, Rabbi, we know that THOU art a teacher come from GOD: for no man can do these miracles that THOU doest, except GOD be with him. JESUS answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD. Nicodemus saith unto HIM, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the SPIRIT is SPIRIT. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:1-7).

Prayer

My LORD and my GOD, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. 1 I believe that JESUS CHRIST is the SON of the living GOD. 2 I believe that HE died on the cross and shed HIS precious blood for the forgiveness of all my former sins. 3 I believe that GOD raised JESUS from the dead by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT 4 and that HE sits on the right hand of GOD at this moment, hearing my confession of sin and this prayer. 5 I open up the door of my heart, and I invite YOU into my heart, LORD JESUS. 6 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that YOU shed in my place on the cross at Calvary. 7 YOU will not turn me away, LORD JESUS; YOU will forgive my sins and save my soul. I know because YOUR WORD, the Bible, says so. 8 YOUR WORD says that YOU will turn no one away, and that includes me. 9 Therefore, I know that YOU have heard me, and I know that YOU have answered me, and I know that I am saved. 10 And I thank YOU, LORD JESUS, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankfulness by doing as YOU command and sin no more.11

After salvation, JESUS said to be baptized, fully submerged in water, in the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT.12 Then study the King James Version Bible, and, for your benefit and the benefit of others, do what it says.13

CHRIST and GOD the FATHER now live in you through the HOLY SPIRIT. There is a way you can receive a fuller portion of the divine nature of GOD in you. The more the divine nature of GOD lives in you, the more you will be able to stand against the temptations that have so easily moved so many millions of Christians away from salvation. Pray for the baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT.14 For instructions on how to receive the baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT and to receive more of GOD’S holy nature, ask for our literature or call. For without holiness, no man shall see GOD (Hebrews 12:14).

If you want the world saved, as JESUS commands, then don’t rob GOD of HIS tithes and offerings. GOD said, “Will a man rob GOD? Yet ye have robbed ME. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed THEE? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed ME, even this whole nation [and this whole world]. Bring ye all the tithes [a ‘tithe’ is 10% of your gross income] into the storehouse, that there may be meat [Spiritual food] in MINE house [souls saved], and prove ME now herewith, saith the LORD of HOSTS, if I will not open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of HOSTS. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of HOSTS” (Malachi 3:8-12).
