Becoming in Tune with the Great Power, God
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow
due to change. (James 1:17)
“God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” (1John 1:5). God clothes Himself in a garment of light “…O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty. Who covered thyself with LIGHT as with a garment…” (Psalm 104:1-2). " And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the Paps with a golden girdle. (Rev.1:12-16). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Adam, prior to the “Fall,” being made in the image and likeness of God (Gen.1:26-27) must also have been clothed with LIGHT and in tune with Him in a Fine Tune Universe.
Prior to the “Fall”, Adam who is referred to as
“the son of God” (Luke 3:38), living in a state of innocence, enjoying intimate fellowship with God (Gen.3:8). He had dominion over all of God’s
creation (Ps. 8:5-6). Adam was in union with God through the faculties of his
spirit which enabled him to commune with his Creator.
The light of the Holy Spirit was passing through Adam’s spirit unimpeded, reaching into his soul and influencing his mind and will, directing his body. Like Tesla said, Adam was in tune with that great power (God, his creator). Before the fall Adam was in harmony with his Creator, his heart and mind were enlightened by the power of God. This is not to say that Adam was a robot controlled by God but a spiritually minded being with free will, to whom all things were possible. There was only one limitation placed upon Adam: "“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” (Gen. 2:16-17). Notice “in that day…thou shalt surely die”. Adam & Eve didn’t die “physically” at that moment; they died a spiritual death.
Adam’s Condition after the Fall
When Adam and Eve exercised their God-given free will to disobey, a crucial change occurred. A split second after the creature chose to defy his Creator an inward fatality occurred. Adam and Eve’s spiritual union with God was the first casualty of their disobedience; the departure of the Holy Spirit from their spirit rendered them spiritually dead, separated from God. This does not infer that “man’s individual spirit” died at that time. Upon the departure of the Holy Spirit, the garment of light loses its source (The first illustration below left) and Adam and Eve immediately become aware of their nakedness. (Gen. 3:7). Lost is the image and likeness of God in the sense that it is now marred and disfigured by sin…like a beautiful bird without its feathers.
Sin broke the bond between Adam and his Creator…Adam is now a carnal being, a “natural man” (1 Cor. 2:14) with a “fleshly mind” (Col. 2:18, 21, Rom. 8:7). A creature of light now dwells in a body of darkness.
