'The Breath of Life' and 'the Seed of Life' Given to Mankind by God
In the beginning, God planned human cultivation to gain true children with whom He could share love with forever. As a farmer plants seeds, cultivates them, and harvests good fruits, God has also planted the seed of life in mankind and has cultivated them. He wants to harvest countless good fruits.
The breath of life that He breathed into the first man Adam is God's fundamental power that brings about the works of life.
Before the Creation, God existed in the original space in the form of light containing the sound— or 'voice' (John 1:1; 1 John 1:5).
This original light contains His infinite power and wisdom. This power of God that is contained in this original light works as the 'breath of life.' God created Adam from dust and breathed into his nostrils the 'breath of life'. Then, he became a living being (Genesis 2:7). You can find the function of this "breath of life" in the Bible. God put sinews on dry bones, made flesh grow back on them, and covered them with skin (Ezekiel 37:10). And as when God 'put breath' in them, the dry bones became a great army. This 'breath of life' also was what worked when the two witnesses in Revelations 11:11 died in martyrdom during the 7 Year Great Tribulation and came back to life.
The trace of breath of life, left in Adam who sinned, is the seed of life and it is like a small seed. According to the word of God, Adam became fruitful and multiplied. In other words, he gave birth to many children. The breath of life that God breathed into Adam was automatically inherited by Adam's descendants whom Adam gave birth to in the Garden of Eden.
But, the situation changed after Adam and Eve committed sin by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God recalled the breath of life from Adam and Eve, and sent them out from the Garden of Eden to this earth. They had just a little bit of the breath of life left in them. Only a faint trace of it was left. This is known as 'the seed of life'.
It, then, remained inside the nucleus which is the most focal and central figure of the body existing in the form of a small seed. The descendants to whom Adam and Eve gave birth on this earth do not inherit the seed of life from their parents. For this reason, God gives the spirit to a baby in the sixth month of its conception. He puts the seed of life into the spirit, and puts it into the nucleus of the cell that is the most focalized point in the body.
The seed of life, given to the descendants of Adam who sinned, is planted in the cell that is the focal center of the body.
The seed of life can be compared to a 'buoy.' A buoy is a floating object that is used to show ships and boats where they can go and to warn them of danger. The seed of life is planted in the cell that is the focal center of the body. The seed of life is planted in a cell of the heart that is both the functional and positional center of a body.
Just as the location of the buoy is fixed in the sea, the seed of life is fixed in the center of the body, overlapping with a cell that is in the center of the body. Cells of the body repeat the cycle of creation and destruction, but the seed of life, in a fixed location, controls other cells of the entire body through a new cell.
As the seed of life sprouts and becomes active, your souls prosper, everything goes well, and you become healthy.
The seed of life given by God to the descendants of Adam who had sinned sprouts better when their hearts are more of goodness.
If anyone hears the gospel and accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior, God gives them the Holy Spirit the Helper into their hearts (Acts 2:38). The seed of life that is planted in a man is like a seed inside a hard shell; it stays without moving (Figure 1). But as one receives the Holy Spirit, then finally the seed of life sprouts out (Figure 2).
Once a seed sprouts, it must be provided with water and sunlight to grow. By the same token, after the seed of life sprouts, it must be provided with spiritual water and light, and then the spirit can grow. In other words, each individual who receives the Holy Spirit must make bread of life from the word of God, which is spiritual water, and live by the word of God that is spiritual light; only then can his spirit grow up well (John 3:6, 6:63).
God puts the seed of life that is contained within spirit deep in the nucleus of the cell that is the focal point at the very core of the body. When the seed of life sprouts and becomes active, the spirit surrounding the seed of life starts to grow up (Figure 3). When the spirit grows up to be big enough to cover this nucleus in the center of the body, the individual becomes a 'man of spirit'; if the spirit grows much bigger, then he becomes known as a 'man of whole spirit' (Figure 3 and 4).
I have compared the size of the spirit and the nucleus not to measure their physical size, but to help you understand better whether the control of the body is done by the spirit or by the flesh.
As the size of the spirit is big enough to cover the nucleus, the body will no longer ride on the fleshly flow. As it becomes whole spirit, the control over the body is completely managed in the spiritual dimension.
By the way, as the spirit is able to control the body, it is also true that the spirit can control the soul. As the spirit controls the soul, there will be more thoughts of the truth, not the fleshly thoughts or thoughts of the untruth. As your spirit and soul prosper, the blessing of "all things going well" also comes upon you written in 3 John 1:2.
As the control of the body is managed in the spiritual dimension all the parts of the body function optimally. That is, no germs or diseases will infect you, and even if you drink poison, it will not harm you. You will not become aged, but you may rather even recover your youthfulness.
But there is an opportunity to have your body controlled in the spiritual dimension even before you enter the spirit. It is to receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit. However, these periods are temporary and limited. In order to have your body permanently controlled in the spiritual dimension, you should eventually come into spirit and the whole spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
