Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Titus chapter 3:

1  Remind people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready and willing to do good,

2   to slander or abuse no one, to be kind and conciliatory and gentle, showing unqualified consideration and courtesy toward everyone.

3  For we too once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various sinful desires and pleasures, spending and wasting our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

4   But when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared [in human form as the Man, Jesus Christ],

5   He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we have done, but because of His own compassion and mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth (spiritual transformation, regeneration) and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

6   whom He poured out richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,

7   so that we would be justified [made free of the guilt of sin] by His [compassionate, undeserved] grace, and that we would be [acknowledged as acceptable to Him and] made heirs of eternal life [actually experiencing it] according to our hope (His guarantee).

Mystery Babylon continues to promote chaos, confusion, and division among the masses.  On the other hand, we should be promoting unity, enlightenment, and Love toward all mankind for we were once no different from those who have been caught up in the division and strife.  We must not allow the media to sweep us up into the strife and division promoted by those who wish to manipulate and control mankind.  FATHER will use those who are called to expose men and spread the Truth to bring down the powers associated with the current system in due time.  The mass media knows how to excite the emotions of those who can easily be tossed to and fro for their nefarious purposes but let us not be counted among them.

We are called to be standards of light thus we should walk in kindness and be conciliatory, we should be known as peacemakers.  As Jesus stated in Matthew chapter 5:

9 ​​Blessed are the peacemakers,

​​For they shall be called sons of GOD.

Words and acts of kindness dispel division and promote unity among those we encounter.  As we are led by THE SPIRIT and remove the barriers caused by confusion and division, we are able to bring forth a willingness to hear the Truth and set men and women free from the bondage they are in.  If they were at peace within themselves, they would not allow themselves to be manipulated by others.  Deep down, they are seeking fulfillment but are unable to find it because of their current blindness.  As our light shines upon their darkness, their eyes will be opened to see and hear the Truth of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  This will bring forth the needed cleansing and regeneration which leads to peace in their hearts.  FATHER has richly poured out The Holy Spirit for mankind’s benefit so let us be conduits toward mankind and eliminate the divisions which currently exist and separates them from the Love of THE FATHER.

David wrote by THE SPIRIT wrote in Psalm chapter 16:

8 ​​I have set the LORD always before me; ​​Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

​9 ​​Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; ​​My flesh also will rest in hope.

And in Psalm 42:

11 ​​Why are you cast down, O my soul?  ​​And why are you disquieted within me?

​​Hope in God; ​​For I shall yet praise Him, ​​The help of my countenance and my God.

The first step to receiving Christ and walking according to His Ways is by establishing hope.  Hope is the confident expectation of what GOD has promised and its strength is in HIS faithfulness to carry out HIS Word on our behalf.  Without hope, people end up suffering with mental depression and despair.  They attempt to numb their feelings by substance abuse and even suicide.  When we have hope we walk in happiness as recorded in Psalm 146:

​5 ​​Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, ​​Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 ​​Who made heaven and earth, ​​The sea, and all that is in them; ​​Who keeps truth forever,

7 ​​Who executes justice for the oppressed, ​​Who gives food to the hungry. ​​The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.

​8 ​​The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; ​​The LORD raises those who are bowed down; ​​The LORD loves the righteous.

9 ​​The LORD watches over the strangers; ​​He relieves the fatherless and widow; ​​But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

You and I should be the happiest people around!  If we don’t exude happiness among those we encounter, how can we expect them to seek out the Source of our hope?  Mystery Babylon brings forth chaos and confusion resulting in the loss of hope for those who do not know and trust in FATHER.  Why do you think the drug trade continues to be such a problem around the world?  They have no hope of positive change in their lives and their souls seek out a means to remove their despair.

There are ministries who have a calling to provide hope to the masses and we must not be critical of their message for they have opened the door for the masses to seek our FATHER.  As people get a taste of hope, we are then able to further their maturing process by showing them FATHER’S unconditional Love and how to walk in faith.  On the Day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, Peter spoke by THE SPIRIT as he quoted Psalm 16:8-11, (the above passage).  That day of transition brought hope to the people and the body of believers grew dramatically.  The people need true hope and we are the ones charged with providing them with enduring hope so let us walk in this manner each day!  They are in desperate need of finding this hope and will know it when they see it.  Let us not forget the great Love chapter Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:

13  And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Let us not forget about ministering hope.

In the U.S., we celebrate Thanksgiving commemorating a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621.  A local church had the following on their street sign:  “Make America grateful again”.  How appropriate!

The following should cause you to smile:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_gOZDWQj3Q&feature=youtu.be

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 16:

23 ​​The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,

​​And adds learning to his lips.

​24 ​​Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,

​​Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

The word pleasant means: to be pleasant, be beautiful, be sweet, be delightful, be lovely.  Focusing on the positive when we speak brings forth life and health to the recipient.  FATHER’S Divine Intent is accomplished when we speak unconditional, sincere words of Love toward others.  The old man will always look for weakness and flaws in others rather than their positive qualities because of the desire to exalt himself above those whom we encounter.  On the other hand, words of kindness bring forth unity and remove protective barriers.  Kind words toward others remove the focus of judgment.  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?

5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Many people speak subtle words of judgment in their interactions with others and then say they were just “kidding” but the intent and damage has already occurred.  We must add learning to our lips as Wisdom directs.  As we focus on speaking forth words of life and no longer allow those piercing words of judgment to come forth out of our lips, we will promote life and healing to the recipient.  This includes our own confession about ourselves.  Let us speak words of encouragement and life today.

As we guard our mouths from speaking forth words contrary to FATHER’S Divine Intent, we will experience sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

Matthew recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

At the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, it was necessary that He be tested by the devil when Jesus was in His weakest physical state.  You can imagine how His mind and body were screaming for sustenance but instead, He was to trust FATHER’S Word and Spirit in directing Him to this point of utter physical weakness. Then came the devil:

3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” (Deuteronomy 8:3)

5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

​​‘​He shall give His angels charge over you,’

​and,

​​‘​In their hands they shall bear you up, ​​Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” (Psalm 91:11,12)

​7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’ ” (Deuteronomy 6:16)

8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” (Deuteronomy 6:13)

11 Then the devil left Him (until an opportune time), and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

Three different disciples recorded the above event.  How do you think they knew the details since He had not yet called them to be His disciples?  Surely Jesus shared the details of the event with the disciples including the particular verses from the book of Deuteronomy and Psalms with them.  Jesus shows us that the devil is no match against FATHER’S Word and the importance that Jesus placed on utilizing The Word even in our weakest state.

Jesus’ trust in FATHER’S Word and THE SPIRIT were at the center of His ministry at all times.  The importance of this foundation cannot be stressed enough in our own walk.  We must not allow ourselves to grow cold in our desire to study FATHER’S Word or we will subject ourselves to the chaos and confusion of the world’s ways.  In order to be deemed an overcomer, we must overcome!  Let us seize the opportunity to trust FATHER’S Word when adversity presents itself to us and let us faithfully take FATHER’S Word and overcome whatever is thrown at us trying to divert our path away from our calling.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 1:

16  I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

17  For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith.”

Paul expresses a Truth that can easily be overlooked by many.  As we immerse ourselves in FATHER’S Word on a continual basis, our faith leads to more faith thus it grows to great faith.  The opposite is also true.  As we spend less time in HIS Word, our faith grows weak and can lead to a deficit of faith needed to overcome adverse situations we encounter throughout life. 

Paul further recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:

17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations” in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”

19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

FATHER is willing and able to take something dead and raise it to life.  Isn’t what happened at the cross?  That same power is available to you and me as we consider not what our senses tell us but trust in HIS Word, being strengthened in faith.  Further, we should be giving glory to Our Heavenly Father as we are waiting for the full manifestation to come forth.  When we walk in great faith, we become fully convinced of what FATHER has promised in HIS Word, HE is willing and able to perform on our behalf.  Isn’t overcoming death the ultimate testimony in glorifying FATHER?

Time must not be looked at as the restrictor of FATHER’S ability to perform, so we should not place such a restriction for the manifestation to come forth.  Abraham and Sarah waited years for the promise of Isaac to manifest and Abraham did not waver through unbelief.  In this day of instant gratification, people have become inherently impatient for results.  This impatience comes directly from the carnal man’s cravings for self-interest to be immediately satisfied, directly opposed to FATHER’S ways.

FATHER did not lead Paul to write about Abraham’s faith just to record history and take up space.  HE intended for us to embrace this example and know that we can walk in great faith without wavering.  The Sons and Daughters of GOD should expect to raise the dead in a similar manner to Our Elder Brother, Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus didn’t waver at the tomb of Lazarus and neither will we when FATHER instructs us to do something similar, astonishing those who will witness such events.

As we grow in faith, we also become more accustomed to being led by THE SPIRIT and the end result is that we ascend to a deeper revelation of Love.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

When I was with Dr. Speckhart focusing on the various aspects of his electro-dermal screening tests, he would always test the basic electrical flow of his patients before testing the various meridians of their organs and other systems in their bodies.  The machine’s scale ranged from 0 to 100 when he completed the circuit to test the level of electrical flow in the body.  “80” was the normal overall electrical flow of an adult, children were a little higher.  Someone with advanced disease such as stage 4 cancer, would only register 10-20 on the scale.  Life was being sucked out of their body and hindered the flow of electricity.  I saw this reality in a man who died six weeks later.  Once a person was at such a low flow, the body was no longer able to overcome the destruction at hand.

As we align ourselves with FATHER and HIS Word, we come closer to the Source of life and our electrical flow increases in response.  Negative thoughts lower this flow whereas positive thoughts and confession increase the flow.  Those who have used kinesiology by testing the arm strength of a person when they speak “Yes” or “No” are well aware of the impact of thoughts on the body.

Who provides us with the ultimate positive thoughts?  Our Heavenly Father.  Who provides us with the ultimate negative thoughts?  The accuser.  The spiritual impacts the physical thus when we are dealing with physical ailments, we should immerse ourselves in FATHER’S Word in the area of healing to offset the negatives in our lives.  Some of those negatives date back to when we were young children and are deep within our souls.  We must root out anything preventing us from fully accepting The Word and we should ask FATHER to show us what may be causing resistance to our purification process and negatively impacting our health.

James wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:

6  But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation]. Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness (a/k/a self-interest].”

7  So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him in faith] and he will flee from you.

8  Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you.  AMPL

Can sickness and disease survive in FATHER’S Presence?  No, Jesus demonstrated this reality in the Gospels.  Only unbelief rejected His healing power.  As I immerse myself in FATHER’S Word and reject any thought which is contrary to HIS Word, my purity increases and my level of self interest (the old man) begins to die.  The result is restoration.  How long will this take?  Each of us has a unique history impacting the process.  As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 13, “Love never fails”, so we should focus our thoughts and actions in the one thing that fully describes FATHER’S Divine Intent resulting in life.  Our confession should line up with HIS Word so as we confess the promises of healing and health in Scripture, our thoughts begin to line up and ultimately our bodies will respond.

A prayer for healing:

Heavenly Father, I thank YOU that YOU have made known these Truths to me,

I thank YOU that Christ has borne my diseases, YOU have taken my weaknesses in my place,

I thank YOU that I don’t have to bear them FATHER, Jesus took them in my place,

I am so glad to know this Truth FATHER,

satan is to blame for my sickness, YOU have not placed them on me FATHER,

YOU want me well and strong so I can glorify YOU and serve mankind in Truth and Love,

I thank YOU for the knowledge that I have a legal right and authority over all devils,

Now FATHER, I come according to YOUR Word, I expect YOU to fulfill YOUR promise made to me,

YOU said “I AM THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU”,

I ask YOU according to YOUR Word, heal my body right now FATHER,

I rebuke the enemy that’s caused my suffering,

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I command the life of my sickness to leave,

And every symptom to be destroyed by the YOUR power,

FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU have heard my prayer,

YOU have granted the answer now,

I ask for healing because Jesus died to purchase healing for me,

I claim healing now according to YOUR promise,

I thank YOU that the source of my sickness is destroyed,

According to Jesus’ promise, I shall recover,

In Jesus’ Name I pray,

I know my request is heard and granted,

In Jesus’ Name I shall act upon YOUR Word,

Thank YOU FATHER that YOU have heard my prayer,

In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Hebrews 10:23  23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Let no one hear nothing but the confession of FATHER’S Word concerning your recovery as your body responds to your prayer and returns to its Divine Intent of normality and operation.  Spend the day glorifying FATHER for your healing rather than focusing on any lingering symptoms as your body is responding to your prayer and FATHER’S Word and power.  HIS Word is greater than your symptoms and any chaos associated with sickness and disease.  As HIS Word removes the chaos and life of the disease, your body will respond.  Do not be denied thus let patience have her perfect work for time is no issue.  Let HIS Word of Love and Truth supersede any and all attacks on your body.  I speak from experience.

(Servias’ Note: Once again, this final section should be studied thoroughly, especially the referenced Scriptures.  The reader should then reread this part after studying associated passages in the Bible before making any determination about accepting or rejecting Kemper’s discussion.  We are providing his writing to provoke the reader to challenge his or her current doctrine for its validity as many have done in the past with the doctrine of eternal damnation.  As always, each of us should test our own doctrine given to us by the teachers in our past to see if it truly lines up with FATHER’S Divine Intent and deeper revelation.  Each of us is responsible for seeking out the Truth and to reject doctrines and traditions of men.)

Kemper completed with the following:

The Fall From Glory

Adam, being subject to his serpent wisdom, brought death upon all mankind from the beginning of his dominion. Adam kept not his first estate, but refused to abide in the truth which was God’s Word of life (John 6:63). This was his response to the commandment resulting in their downfall, which brings us to Isaiah 14:12, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”

The word lucifer is the Hebrew word, heylel, which means; light bearer.  This verse is the only place it is used in the scriptures. Lucifer is a name (nature) and a description of one who is to bring light to others. This was the description of the dominion mandate Adam was to be expressing as he ruled over the earth (Genesis 1:26-28). This stewardship of bearing light is what the prophet Isaiah was referring to when he assigned the title “Lucifer” to the king of Babylon. For in Isaiah 14:4, it is written, That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon. Isaiah was inferring that the king of Babylon was continuing in the same corruption that Adam had established in his fall. As Adam failed to fulfill the Lucifer mandate so also did the king of Babylon. Therefore this king was designated as “Lucifer” by the prophet to signify the estate from which he failed to fulfill.

Isaiah continues in verse 13 and14, For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. This correlates to what God had said about Adam in Genesis 3:22; And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, which meant that man took the place of God as also stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. The king of Babylon had continued in the same agenda that Adam initiated and pursued at the time of his fall.

Lucifer is referred to as the son of the morning (Isaiah 14:12) which is a direct reference to Adam being the son of the beginning or a product of creation. God’s intent was for Adam to become a son of God, a bearer of light, the Bright and Morning Star (Revelation 22:16). For Adam to become a son of God he was to willingly embrace in obedience the Word of God which is the incorruptible seed. As we know, he failed to do so and remained a created being rather than a begotten son.

The mandate to govern the earth was first given to Adam. God’s desire was for him to bring the light of the truth unto those under his dominion and therefore the name Lucifer was used by God in Isaiah 14:12 to illustrate this. However when Adam drew on his own wisdom to usurp God’s will with his own, he left his first estate (Lucifer) of abiding in the truth and subjected his mandate to his corrupt wisdom, the nachash.

Adam had taken the Lucifer mandate and subjected it to the influence of the serpent or Satan the devil. When Isaiah was prophesying over the king of Babylon he spoke to the root of his corruption which was the fall of Lucifer way back in Adam’s beginning. What Adam had initiated continues to corrupt others who have been given the privilege to rule. This corruption is the self-preservation mindset of the serpent. Not all men however have been swayed from the fear of the Lord. God has maintained a remnant throughout the generations that have not subjected themselves unto the serpent wisdom of self preservation, but have submitted themselves unto God for the sake of His Kingdom, and have responded to the call of being sanctified through Christ to drive the principle of Nachash out of their flesh.

It can be concluded that the Lucifer mandate, Adam was to function in, was allowed to be usurped by his own wisdom, the nachash. Thereby establishing the principality of Satan and his altered reality of this present world floundering outside of God’s design. It is unfortunate and inaccurate that Satan is considered to be Lucifer the light bearer. Lucifer was a principle consistent with the will of God, but Satan was never in God’s plans. Lucifer was ordained to illuminate the truth, Satan has never abode therein. Adam with his dominion had fallen from God’s original principle (Lucifer) to establish his own principle (Satan).

Basically, Lucifer is the state of Adam being created upright and Satan is the state of Adam in his disobedience.  Adam went from functioning as Lucifer the light bearer to Satan the adversary and one who opposes. As stated before; Adam’s disobedience to the commandment of God, invented a world of opposition to the will and purpose of God. Without man, Satan and his demons do not exist. They are a direct product of the rebellion of man. All the evil that has been loosed upon this earth is a result of this nachash which man invented using the rebellion side of the commandment.

The Lucifer mandate has been usurped by Satan, a principality under which man rules this endeavor that he has set in motion, whom Paul calls the “god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4). Each person has their own endeavor of fulfilling their own will to establish their own world. It is a massive game of “King of the hill.” Therefore the conflicts begin and man learns war.

James 4:1-5; From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss (note that; amiss is sin), that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

This “spirit that dwells within us” is the serpent, nachash, the wisdom of man, lodged in our sensual flesh. Man becomes Satan (an adversary in opposition) unto those he’s contrary to and perceives those contrary to him as Satan. Yet he fails to understand his own ego, pride and self preservation is Satan, the wisdom of the natural earthly man. His spirit of self preservation deceives him to race toward his own destruction trampling down those in his way, accumulating further torment for the recompense to come. However, where sin abounds grace does much more abound.

(Servias’ Note: Once again, the following part should be studied thoroughly, especially the referenced Scriptures.  The reader should then reread this part after studying associated passages in the Bible before making any determination about accepting or rejecting Kemper’s discussion.  We are providing his writing to provoke the reader to challenge his or her current doctrine for its validity as many have done in the past with the doctrine of the origin and nature of the devil.  Each of us must test our own doctrine given to us by the teachers in our past to see if it truly lines up with FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Each of us is responsible for seeking out the Truth and to reject doctrines of men.  We discussed this section in great detail with our Hebrew scholar friend concerning the initial mention of the devil, or serpent, in Genesis prior to our posting.  It is most important that each of us focus our daily lives in pursuit of being fully led by THE SPIRIT.  However, we should no longer allow ourselves to be subject to the wiles of the devil {Ephesians 6:11} so we should have a deeper understanding of the adversary’s nature.  Jesus was well aware of the devil and his children, and you might read John 8:31-48 prior to beginning this part.)

Kemper continues:

Man Owns Evil

Although man has been sustained by God’s mercy during this age, he must for justice sake be accountable for his own works. The scripture is adamant to present the fact that man owns what he initiates outside of God’s will. 

Psalms 106:39  Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. 

Proverbs 1:31  Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 

James 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

2 Peter 2:12  But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.

Man owns corruption! It must be understood that Satan is not an entity independent from man, Satan is a product of man. Man is not just a victim of the evil in this world but is also the producer of it. All of it! To say, “The devil made us do it” is acknowledging that we are subject unto our own wisdom.  John 8:44, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Jesus in this verse is speaking to the Pharisees who wanted to kill him. He calls them children of the devil, assigning the principality (the devil) initiated by Adam as their father. John records in 1 John 3:8, He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Consider this, how can the devil sin without disobeying a commandment? Adam is this devil that sinned from the beginning.

The Seed

Afterward, Adam produced seed in the likeness of his self-preserving nature, the serpent. This seed of the serpent is referred to in Genesis 3:15; And I will put enmity between thee (the serpent) and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. The seed of the serpent came from Adam, however the woman’s seed came from God. And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew (Genesis 4:25).

God promised Eve that Their Seed would bruise the head of the serpent (destroying the works of the devil, 1 John 3:8). The summation of this was conceived by Mary upon hearing from the messenger Gabriel in Luke 1:35, And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing (seed) which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.  In verse 38 Mary agreed, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

The seed of the woman has been the remnant that God has reserved unto Himself over the generations unto the fulfillment of His Word made flesh. They have transferred God’s promise of the destruction of the serpent from one generation unto the other until it manifested in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, whom was raised from the dead and become the firstfruits of them (the remnant) that slept (1 Corinthians 15:20).
