| + | The fallen man has not only to be redeemed by the Spirit of | ||
| + | Christ within his soul, but he has to be actually translated out of | ||
| + | the darkness of the outer mind and its selfish desires into the | ||
| + | Kingdom of God’s Son; and every department of his being, be- | ||
| + | ginning with his spirit, must actually be RE-CREATED stage by | ||
| + | stage by deliverance from the power of sin and death, the selfish | ||
| + | affections, is governed by the life of the first Adam, which is | ||
| + | fallen and corrupt; and (c) the mind and body are therefore open | ||
| + | in every department to the power of the Poisoner. Consequently | ||
| + | the Apostle John declares with blunt language that the “whole | ||
| + | world lieth in the evil one.” (I John 5:19). | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the first creation was “fearfully and wonderfully made,” then | ||
| + | in truth the “re-creation” of the creature utterly sunk into the | ||
| + | animal-soul and the animal-flesh, | ||
| + | spirit to have spirit dominion over soul and body, is a wondrous | ||
| + | work, which only the Triune God could accomplish; the Father | ||
| + | giving to the Son in the soul, the Son giving His life and con- | ||
| + | sciousness to the mind; and all three then living as One in the | ||
| + | outer man, doing the Father’s work on earth even as in Heaven. | ||
| + | |||
| + | That the Prince of Darkness resists every step of man’s de- | ||
| + | liverance from his thraldom is easy to understand, and it is neces- | ||
| + | sary that every follower of Christ should know clearly all the ele- | ||
| + | ments in the fallen creation which are open to his power. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If this Prince of Hell fully controls the unregenerate man as | ||
| + | shown in the second chapter of Ephesians, there is also shown that | ||
| + | Christ Jesus makes alive those “who were dead” and raises them | ||
| + | up with Him to sit with Him in heavenly places. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then it is of vital importance that all turn to Christ in their | ||
| + | souls, and to Him alone, beseeching Him to quicken them with His | ||
| + | Spirit, that they may be lifted up and be with Him ever after- | ||
| + | ward, following only where He leads. | ||
| + | |||
| + | These are high truths, and are principally for those whose soul | ||
| + | faculties have been quickened so that they are able to see, hear and | ||
| + | feel in the inner world of spirit. Such as shown above to be doubly | ||
| + | on the alert because, open to the illusions of the psychic realm where | ||
| + | dwell the spirits ruled by the Prince of Darkness, they are easily | ||
| + | caught in the snares laid for them, unless quickened by the Lord | ||
