Fellowship with God
GENESIS 3:6-8
6 ¶ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
***We see that what broke fellowship with God in the beginning was when a man and a woman listened to another voice apart from the word of God, they harkened to a voice that conveyed an idea that actually sounded very reasonable and even correct, but the problem was that that idea was contrary to the word of God.
Notice carefully - Eve had received what seemed to her a higher education to that of the word education that God had taught them, and that was what actually caused them to become disconnected from fellowship with God.
Fellowship with God
We know that when people disagree with one another, it breaks their fellowship together; they begin not to associate and “Walk together”, because to truly be in fellowship and in oneness with someone you have to first be in union in agreement, and agreement is a spiritual thing of your thoughts and someone else’s thoughts being in the same way of thinking and reasoning.
***One of the hardest things in the world is for people to agree on anything.
AMOS 3:3
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Walking together is symbolic of people being in agreement together.
GENESIS 5:22-24
22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
**Walking with God translates you from mortal to immortality – Enoch is our type in this age when a people will walk with God in fellowship again as Adam did before unbelief of the word entered into the world.
When Eve agreed with the serpent and disagreed with the word of God, then that is what broke the fellowship between God and man at the beginning, so it will have to take man to come back into full agreement with the thought and mind of God in order to restore the fellowship of what man lost with God in Eden.
ONENESS_ JEFF.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_ 62-0211
…This is God's oneness, when you--the--the spirit that you got agrees with this Word, and manifests this Word and makes this Word power to act the same way It did there.
What is the meaning of the word fellowship? And then what does true fellowship with God look like in this end time age?
Fellowship = Fellowship is to do with COMPANIONSHIP and COMPANY - friendly association, especially with people who share the same interests – A community of interest, activity, feeling, or experience - a company of equals or friends.

E-24 Now, notice here, just a little farther as He went on. God making Himself known through the Fatherhood, through the Sonship, and through the Holy Spirit. Now, see, He brought into Hisself a blood cell, wrapped Hisself up into this, broke forth the Blood at Calvary, throwed out His Blood that He might bring through this Blood-cleansing, by this same Atonement, taking every sinner and cleanse him, bring him into a fellowship that He can talk with man and walk with man, like He did in the garden of Eden before sin ever come on the earth.
And our relationship is restored to Jehovah through the offering of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
***This is all about the relationship of man being restored back with God again by man being restored to his corrected thinking and reasoning of the word of God.
***Three things that man lost when he left Eden
- Eternal life
- Fellowship with God
- And Dominion over the earth.
***Eternal life was the normal thing – there was no conception of death as we know it before sin entered the world. Sin is simply to disbelieve the word of God which is God himself, He is his own word of what his thoughts that have been expressed in words – and you are that also. So when within you, you disbelieve the word of God then the very core of what you are as a spirit and soul is separated from God in fellowship by you and God being different in your spirit of agreement, and anything that disagrees with God becomes separated in fellowship from God, and anything separated from God dies.
**Dominion over the earth – That was given to Adam and Eve, to have full control over the earth and all nature. The bird life, the animal life, the fish life, the botany life, and the wind and the weather – there was no death anywhere in the world.
GENESIS 1:28
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
WHY_ PHOENIX.AZ SATURDAY_ 61-0128
E-79 A man was made to be god, to be a god. Do you know that? He's in the image of God; he's a son of God; he's like Him. He was given a domain (Genesis 1:26), dominion over the whole earth. That's right. He ruled the earth. He ruled the animal kingdom, and all the other kingdoms--all but the Kingdom of God above. He was god; he was an amateur god. He was made in the image of God, made like God, had hands and feet like God. He was in the image of God.
What happened? Because he disbelieved God's Word, it sent him right back out to shift for himself. Now God's trying to bring him back. And when you have faith, and accept Him, my brother, just let that little Light begin to grow out, taking all the roots of doubt and bitterness, yielding yourself to the Spirit. Then you begin to become a son of God, a daughter of God, begin to grow in the grace of God. The Holy Spirit begins to build His kingdom within you.
We know that “civilisation” by education, brings all the troubles and wars and strife upon man. The more worldly educated we become as a civilisation, the more troubles and wars and the more violence there is upon the earth.
A.THINKING.MAN'S.FILTER_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-6 SUNDAY_ 65-0822E
47 Like politics and war. I don't believe in war. I don't believe that we all ever should have ever had a war.
I believe in the great Kingdom that God is bringing, the great civilization that'll be brought down under His Own great dominion; there will never be another war. Nation won't lift up spears against nations. They'll all be peace, Eternal peace.
48 So this kind of a civilization brings war. And more civilized we get, under this, the more war we have. One trying to be more civilized than the other, and the more civilized makes more war. See?
Our modern civilisation is produced by education without God, without the concept of God in it. Adam was well educated, but not by a scientific education, Adam was educated by a faith civilisation education which didn’t need motor cars and aeroplanes and machinery and chemicals, he just spoke and had full dominion over nature and everything in the earth, and he also had fellowship with God and eternal life. And this faith education and relationship with God produced a perfect peace upon the entire earth where never a war could ever exist.
LUKE 21:9-11
9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
All this chaos in the earth is a result of man’s civilization and education without God in it – this is a result of man being out of fellowship with God, he has lost all dominion over the earth and the earth is going wilded because the one who was supposed to control it and have dominion over it has become alienated from God, so when we get out of fellowship with God, then war and strife enters into the world and into our own personal lives, and so this applies to a nation and also to an individual. War and strife is a result of man being out of fellowship with God, and that is because he has become education out of it by his own reasoning by thinking. Man and his modern education thinks that somehow he is smarter than God and that he doesn’t need God and that he doesn’t need to have fellowship with God or the leadership of God.

E-4 And now, one of the most wonderful things of God and the Christian, the connection of the fellowship between God and Christians, is that they that are sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.
… But the greatest thing I've found in Christian life is letting the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you. And His work is marvellous. How many in here's ever been led by the Spirit, let's see your hands. Oh, my, that's wonderful. Led by the Spirit of God...
There's no one would lead you to the altar but the Spirit of God. There's no one would bring you here tonight 'less it was the Spirit of God. Is that right? He moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.
**In the beginning Adam had fellowship with God and was led by God, and that is what qualified him to have dominion over the earth and to lead the animals, and that was what caused peace to reign upon the earth.

THE SALUTATION
Revelation 2:8,
"These things saith the First and the Last, Which was dead and is alive."
"The First and the Last, Which was dead and is alive." Now these are not the words of a man. A mere man (could he speak from the grave) would say, "I am the first and the last which was alive and is dead." The first thing that happens to a man is that he is born (is alive) and the last thing that happens is that he dies. So this is not a man speaking. This is Deity.
Man (Adam) took life and turned it into death.
But this MAN (Jesus) took death and turned it into life.
Adam took innocence and turned it into guilt.
This One took guilt and turned it into righteousness.
Adam took a paradise and turned it into a waste howling wilderness; but this One is coming back to turn an earth rocking and reeling with destruction into another Eden. Adam took a life of fellowship and joy with God and turned it into a desert of spiritual darkness that brought forth all sin, moral decay, pain, suffering, delusion, and corruption that wars within the souls of men. But this One, from all the tragic death and degradation that filled mankind, brought forth a life of righteousness and beauty, so that as sin once reigned unto death, even so might men now reign in righteousness by One, Christ Jesus; and not as the offence was, though terrible indeed it was, but now much more is His gift unto eternal life.

E-49 And if the Holy Spirit... Here it is, quickly... If the Holy Spirit brooding over mankind, that's already nothing but dust of the earth, the Holy Spirit is the only One Who can brood Eternal Life into you. Your intellectuals, no matter how brilliant you may be, they are totally rejected by God. Your denominations means not that much to God. Your great teachers of theology doesn't mean that to God. It takes the brooding of the Holy Spirit to bring you into the fellowship of God to give you Eternal Life to raise you up again at the last day. "Except a man be born of the Spirit and water, he will in no wise enter in."
THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125 (This quote is contains quite a deep concept that is very important to understand)
58 If you're married to Christ, Christ is the Word of God. In Saint John, the 1st chapter, said, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the same was made flesh and dwelt among us." Christ was the living Word. He always was the Word. He is still the Word. He always will be the Word. He was only the manifestation of the attributes of God, for He was the Son of God.
59 And any son is the attributes of his father, and just as you were in the genes of your father, in the body of your father when he was a young boy. You were in him. Yet, he could not have fellowship with you, because he didn't know you. But then, through the bedding grounds of a mother, you were brought forth into the earth and become in the image of your father, then he could fellowship with you.
60 And so were you, sons of God and daughters of God, before there even was a moon, stars, or a molecule. You were sons and daughters of God, for you are only the physical manifestation of the attributes that was in God at the beginning. For, there's only one form of Eternal Life, and that was you, before. You don't know nothing about it. Neither did you know when you was in your earthly father, but you are manifested, too, in his image. In the image of God you are made, and you were manifested for the glory and the fellowship of God.
61 And, therefore, as sure as your gene had to be in your father, before your natural birth, your spiritual gene had to be in God, because you're an expression of the attributes of His thoughts, before the foundation of the world. Right. No way around it. That's right. Now, now we notice, then, that Life being in you, God's Life being in you, from the foundation of the world.
62 Now, now, you cannot mix denomination creed with the Word, because they're too contrary, one to the other.
63 That's exactly what Satan tried to do with his intellectual conception to Eve. He said he admitted that God said it, but he said, "Surely, you'll not die." See? And they believe that.
64 And that's what creed has done, tonight. Denomination has separated the people from the Word of God.
Notice – that people are separated from fellowship with God by having a wrong conception of God by denominational education, and that is exactly what broke the fellowship with man and God in the beginning, it was a false concept of God by a false religious belief.
So what will restore fellowship with God is when we are restored back to the fullness of the truth of the word (“I will restore” saith the Lord), and that restoration has come in these last days by the message that God has sent by His vindicated prophet.
And so this message is what is restoring us back into full fellowship with God again, and that is what is happening for you and I in this hour. And as this fellowship is growing back into the fullness of what Adam lost, we will find that peace and dominion will also come back with that fellowship.
***Fellowship with God by the word of God being restored into the mind of man again by the opening of the seven seals and the revealing of the fullness of the word of this hour – this message is what has opened the way to give us access to the relationship and to the fellowship with God that Adam lost.
