The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

5:12–14. It is the reason why “in Adam all die” (1 Corinthians 15:22). The human spirit is always subject to death unless what is described in Ezekiel 11:19, 18:31, and 36:26–27 are accomplished. Summarily, these comprise the New Birth the Lord Jesus teaches about in John 3:3–8. If Ezekiel 36:27 does not occur, the new human spirit is in danger of being contaminated anew without a stronger power to guard and protect it. Here is what Jesus meant in the parable of the strong man in His gospels. A new human spirit changes the life signals of the adamic man and transforms people into Christians. Apart from the New Birth, this cannot and will not happen regardless of how much people say they love the Lord, labor to serve Him, or appear to worship Him. Their state of spiritual death continues unimpeded until they die. Then they are subject to the mandates of sin and death whose laws they served with their lives. Therefore, none of Christ’s agents can recoup them from the earth upon their demise as they were never given the authority to do so. See Jude 1:9. The decedents’ human will decided who should take them at death and sealed it by retaining their old adamic spirit instead of receiving God’s new one in Christ Jesus. Here is the most shocking of the laws of sin and death. All shall be made alive only in Christ Jesus, says 1 Corinthians 15:22. The question is how do they get into Christ? It is answered by Romans 8:9. See New Birth. 356. Deborah—An Old Testament prophetess who served Israel during the time of the Judges. Deborah’s role as commander and chief reflect the highly superior activities delegated to her that indicate she functioned more as an apostolic type like Moses. For the meaning of Judge see Samuel and Shaphat. Judges 4–5. 357. Decree—To judicially declare or legislate by saying. 358. Defile—A) To make foul or pollute ceremonially, religiously, sexually, or ethically. B) To profane by making common, or using in a common manner. C) To apply the holy to the sinful or secular. See Jeremiah 3:9. D) To become or render unclean. E) To forfeit one’s sanctified or consecrated status or calling. Forfeiture of one’s consecration by appending oneself to the secular world. Contaminating the flesh by thoughts, fantasy dreams, and corruption to destroy or desecrate the temple of God. 359. Degrees of Anointing—A term used to describe the varied measures of anointing different prophets receive. This meaning is important for prophets to understand in order to respect the gradual phases and stages in which their anointings appear and increase. It applies to themselves and to those to whom
