1 Peter 1:23
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
The incorruptible seed was hid in the prophets of old because all that God was doing with Abraham, for instance, was for him to find the prototype of the incorruptible seed of the Word of God that abides forever. Peter wants the Church to hold the Word of God that lives and abides forever by coming into the truth that purifies the soul through obedience (1 Peter 1:22). The quality of what God calls purification is unknown and the purification cannot be understood except by revelation because no truth comes to anyone outside understanding. All truth is higher than human understanding. So, truth can only be got by revelation for it is higher than the human mind.
Christ is Truth; Father is Truth; God is Truth! They are all Truth and none of them can be understood by man for the Truth is not just a mere mental exercise of extraction from scripture by the natural mind. No book here on earth can bring the desired result of the Holy Ghost. One can even do ministry below the truth but immediately one comes into truth, one will start facing challenges because one will not do things the way others do.
Truth means separation; what separates one from the world is truth. We can physically separate ourselves yet not separated. We can only be separated when we undertake the purification of the soul through truth because truth is what God has provided to birth His desired purpose. Anyone not interested in the will of God cannot gain access to truth; God hid His will in truth. Some people have been hearing the truth, but they do not know it yet.
That one is hearing the same sound does not mean the message is the same; Satan knows how to copy sounds. If truth is not clearly defined, people would not see it. Hence, Satan fights the propagation of truth. One of the ways he does so is by raising men to upset God's purpose. These men may even preach some 'high-sounding' words, but the words are not truth. The purpose of the kingdom is not to acquire natural substances, fame or power, neither is it to rule over people. Jesus’ teachings changed the passion of the mother of John and James and the other women who were with Him such that they gave up their children to the truth (Mark 10:37, Matthew 20:21).
Satan stole the dominion of man and corrupted it; he came over Cain, Cain in turn, came over man. Cain came into a manifestation of a wrong interpretation of dominion. A man who desires to be flesh will come into this dominion. The flesh is strong; it is a kind of man that is constituted and built by Satan to oppose God. When a man has attained perfection in Christ, he is godly. The ungodly is flesh - a man to whom the devil has given his peace. He is not a violent or demonized man; he will even frown at violence, yet he has the stature to cut down light or oppose the Gospel of truth.
An ungodly man will see precious light and treat it with high contempt. A man becomes flesh and grow more into flesh until he becomes 'man', for there is a man hewed out of flesh. Blood is the life; flesh is the shrub; man is the tree.
Revelation 8:7
"The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."
The trees mentioned in the scripture above are not physical trees but men. The greens become trees through accessibility to dominion light. They become trees because they agreed to be more flesh. There are certain things that attract men to come into a constitution of more flesh. These things are the righteousness of the kingdom of Satan. Righteousness is the right thing to do to attain dominion. All unbelievers are dead spiritually, but not all are in the kingdom of Satan. The same way it is with us believers; not all of us are in the kingdom of God. Any unbeliever that is entering into the kingdom of Satan must have a seared conscience. The more people obey Satan, the more they are constituted to refuse God. When a nation opens its terrain to the advancement of Satan's dominion, that nation has been taken over.
Dominion is a preaching of liberty. The Kingdom of God wants to set free, likewise Satan who also is preaching his own kind of freedom to souls. That is why a soul can question God. Spirits can preach spiritual messages through intellectual sense. They are spiritual wickedness who penetrates through intellectual philosophies.
The truth of a message is known by the meekness in it. The kingdom of God makes a man humble; the kingdom of Satan makes a man proud. Flesh tows the path of pride while a stone tows the path of meekness. A meek man is not bloated, he takes his size. A meek man does not lie about self while flesh boasts beyond proportion. When kingdom is being taught without intent of purification, holiness, righteousness, then it is not the Kingdom of God. Money is unrighteous, it can tempt. Money always declares itself as an answer to all things. But that is a lie, it is unrighteous mammon.
The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17). To enter the kingdom is to enter these three. Every entrance is further movement away from sin and death. The kingdom is a deliverance zone, this is its purpose, not just the use of power. The power of the kingdom is for becoming like Christ, to change and be conformed to His image, not to attract physical things. The dominion of Satan is to break a man down completely. When spirits make their home in a man, it does not mean they have possessed that man; it is his mind that is being attacked and not his heart. When people suffer under Satan on earth, they commandeer God’s mercy on them.
The unfeigned love of the brethren is truth (1 Peter 1:22); it sanctifies the soul. The love of the brethren is another truth. There is a truth that purifies but the unfeigned love of the brethren sanctifies, it climaxes the region of cleansing. It is a pure heart that can love fervently. Sanctification comes by obedience after obedience; obeying the law of the love of the brethren.
There is a lesson about the unfeigned love of the brethren, which is, beyond just loving one's brother. One expressing unfeigned love is taking a posture in the spirit against Satan. Whosoever will love the brethren will hate the world. It is not difficult to love someone you agree with. But there is still a love beyond your agreement that you must come into. The love of the brethren will deal with self, it is one of the lessons against self before entering the holiest. It conditions the soul to carry the incorruptible seed. The incorruptible seed needs a ground to be planted, a soul that is still learning the righteousness of faith cannot meet the demands of the incorruptible seed.
The incorruptible seed is the word of God which liveth and abideth forever (1 Peter 1:23). The word of God is what tells us what God does. What God does is expressed in how He lives. So, God will have to keep living. But God does more than living, He also abides. Jesus saw the Father live and abide (John 5:19) and the reason why He was given life was for Him to do. God is a doer of the incorruptible standard - He does incorruption. God wants us to take incorruptible step by obeying. Every birth by the incorruptible seed is a walk (1 Peter 1:23). Incorruptible seed is programmed to speak incorruptible instructions to a man. We need to be taught how not to go back. A pure man will be given a place in Christ, but God is not satisfied with a pure man.
The ability to not turn back is in God only. When God gave us Christ, He did not give us incorruptible seed. Jesus will not give us the incorruptible seed until the Father says so. When something is the Father’s word, it means it belongs to Him and has been with Him since the beginning. The Godhead will not share it with anyone till they are satisfied with the person. The love of the brethren and purification of a soul are tests to be sure that a man can take the incorruptible. They will not just throw one into it until they are sure. When we do truth and the love of the brethren well, then, they will be able to certify that we can carry the seed.
This seed is an operational seed in God’s sphere, it is higher than Christ. The seed is not close to man; it is not anything that man can obey. The sower is God. He is the husbandman and the seed is in God’s constituent. The incorruptible seed has God’s character. The seed is more than being precious. It is a sure seed; a sure word. It is through that seed that will make our calling and election sure. When you are not a sure man, you are not yet incorruptible. Nothing is sure but God. This was why Jesus became a surety of a better covenant (Hebrews 7:22).
That which is sure is God. It speaks by finding expression. It will inculcate the sense of the incorruptible. You will begin to do wisdom of the incorruptible, undefiled and that fadeth not away, this is where you will abide. When something abides, it means that it has come to its surest state. This is God’s realm.
Christ is the realm of purification from the world. After Him, then we can become a constitution that can receive from God. (1 Peter 1:4) This inheritance is not just something that we have entrance to, it should also be in us. When you have inheritance, you become incorruptible, undefiled and would not be able to fade away. It is an incorruptible seed that makes God not to fade away.
Psalm 119:89
"For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."
The Word is settled in the third heaven and not just in any heaven. This is why the angels (cherubs) that are closest to this Word are those who do his commandments (Psalm 103:20). Everlasting realm is the best place in all of God’s parameters while the Most Holy is the realm of everlasting which requires obedience.
The word is the nature of the testimony. The testimony is a spirit in the new testament. Testament is a spirit. The only one who has ever taken the testimony is our Lord Jesus. In the new testament, the everlasting word is the testimony of Jesus, which is the Spirit of prophecy (Revelations 19:10). We have a more sure word of prophecy and this word is a testimony that is done (2 Peter 1:19).
If it is a testimony, it is saying something. It is testifying of the incorruptibility that is undefiled and does not fade away; that is the order. Anyone who wants to inherit incorruptibility must be interested in the testimony. Doing the testimony is hating one's life. A man cannot kill his life; the only one that can kill His life is Christ. He is the only one that can go to the cross or hate His life because doing the order of God is hating your life, and that is the prophecy: incorruptibility, undefiling and what fades not away.
Hating your life is a life because you are hating something until your life dies. Why death? Death is necessary because that is how we defeat or kill corruption. We cannot kill or expire it until we learn how to lay down our lives. If care is not taken, corruption can be a life to christ because corruption is higher than him. Corruption is a stature of the holiest. It is the alpha and omega of an angel which used to live and abide but later became corrupted. He was corrupted in wisdom and what was corrupted as wisdom was an everlasting wisdom of an angel (Ezekiel 28:17).
What is on humanity is a thick blanket; and all that God wants to get into the universe is the incorruptible seed, but Satan does not want it. This is the reason Satan will fight tooth and nail. Rulers of the darkness of this world will fight Christ. Rulers of the darkness of this world and Satan are warriors of incorruption, warriors against testimony. Satan is hiding but you can bring him out from his hiding place like the manchild by obeying the incorruptible. When a man begins to touch the forces of incorruption, he gets Satan angry and when God gives a man obedience to the incorruptible and he is not getting it done, Jesus will be angry. He was angry at the churches because they were not perfecting the work (Revelations 2:15).
Satan sent corruptible gods - Nicolaitans and Jezebel - to war with the churches in the book of revelation. Jezebel is higher than Babylon. She is a daughter of Satan and has inheritance with sons and daughters who are fathers. She is a father also, a spirit that could teach servants of God how to eat things sacrificed to idols (Revelations 2:20).
Numbers 24:16
"He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:"
Balaam had the incorruptible seed; he had the work of God. He was hearing instructions of the Holiest of all and not just of Christ. He knew the knowledge of the Most High and saw what Melchizedek saw. When he falls into a trance, he can interpret what he sees, unlike some who would go numb when they fall into the same. He was a high priest. When Moses saw him, he went hiding in the secret place (Psalm 91:1). What they will use the incorruptible seed to do in us is to possess the incorruptible seed in its originality.
William Graham said that the incorruptible seed is the original seed. An angel appeared to him to show him this and told him that this was what changed Abraham’s body. He further told him that before Christ would come, His bride would be pregnant with the original seed and we will see the wonders that the world has not seen before.
We must fight the battle of not remaining corruptible so we can move from Christ to becoming sure.
