Loose Him, Let Him Go!

“Loose Him, Let Him Go!”

A Prophetic Word to the Body of Christ

 “For as in Adam, all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive”.

1^st Corinthians 15:22

Adam represents the disobedient sinful nature passed on to every human born into the world.

Christ Jesus embodies the “new creature” born in man after receiving Jesus as Savior.

Sin and Death is the system under which the world operates after the disobedience of Adam.

Early, very early on one recent morning, God began to speak to my inward man (spirit).  He impressed in my spirit that the challenge for His body is that many walk around with Adam in their souls (mind, will, emotions).  He said that the problem with this is that, “in Adam all die” (1^st Corinthians 15:22).  Spiritual death is a by-product of Adam’s influence in the soul of man.  Adam’s sin was that he was disobedient to the instructions given to him by God.  Thus he became “Disobedient Adam”.  He plants rebellion and disobedience in the soul of man to destroy his life.

When we receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, our human spirits become instantly God conscious.  Life is spontaneously  imparted to our human spirit.  Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:1-8 put it like this,  “And you hath He quickened who was dead in trespasses and sins…”.   We are indeed changed.  We receive past, present, and future sins forgiven.  We are washed clean of the inherited sin of Adam that chained us to the curse of sin and death (Romans 8^th Chapter).  Adam (sinful nature) is evicted from the spirit of man.  We receive the glorious freedom in our spirit that Jesus paid the price for in His death.  We are truly forgiven and changed!

But we are changed only in our human spirit.  Man’s spirit is that part of him that houses God.   God is on the throne of man’s spirit when Jesus is received.  The soul (mind, will, & emotions) of man remains the same. We have our will (choice) intact, our minds still store all of the previous data of our lives, and our emotions still have their full range (love, hate, joy etc.).  Our emotions at the time of receiving Jesus are impacted because of the wonderful “feeling” we experience.  However, the “Disobedient Adam” hangs around in the area of the soul to try and maintain power to rule. 

The body (flesh, blood, & bones) of man remains the same.  The body will do what the soul tells it to do.  This is why “Disobedient Adam” wants to stay and govern the soul.  He knows that the body will follow the soul and thus be led to either Life (Christ, Word of God) or death (Adam, sin and death).

“Disobedient Adam” lives for “self”.   Self love, self interest, self promotion, all things “self” are demanded to be on the throne of the soul. However in your newly regenerated spirit, you have become a new creature in Christ Jesus (2^nd Corinthians 5:17).  Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit occupy the throne in your human spirit.   And thus begins the struggle.  There is no doubt about it.  Adam screams death scripturally and spiritually.  But Jesus is “Life Himself” as we “die daily“ (1^st Corinthians 15:31) to “Disobedient Adam”.  We become more alive to Christ as we cast down imaginations (2^nd Corinthians 10:5) and all things that try to exalt itself above the knowledge of Christ.

As we grow in grace and the knowledge of God’s word, the influence of “Disobedient Adam” leaves, bit by bit, little by little, day by day, choice by choice, word by word.  “Disobedient Adam” does not go willingly, or all at once from the soul.  He hides, he stalls, he bargains, shamefully because he knows that God’s reign in the Believer changes the world.   Adam must be put to death by the Life (Christ) that comes out of our reborn spirit where God is on the throne.

When the spirit and the soul are in alignment with God on the throne, the body produces the life of Christ.  Saturation of God’s word in our minds brings the “mind of Christ” (Philippians 2:5-8).  Adam knows his days are numbered in the soul of a man who surrenders to hearing and doing the word of God (James 1:22-25).

Loose Adam, let him go! Let Christ reign not only in your spirit, but in your soul (mind, will, and emotions) and your body. When this happens the Life of Christ Jesus will prevail in you day by day.

Loose Adam, let him go.  Christ in you the hope of glory! (Colossians 1:27)
