About this ebook
Today, much of what is taught and understood to be the gospel of Christ has been saturated with carnal reasoning and the agendas of men. This perversion of the gospel is evident in the bondage prevalent in the masses which profess to know Christ. This is what the Apostle Paul warned about in his letter to the Colossians when he wrote, "Beware le

Unleashing The Gospel of Christ - D.L. Fuller
THE INTRODUCTION
A
fter Adam and Eve lost their faith in GOD, they also lost their access to the tree of life. Now, by the grace and mercy of YAHWEH, the tree of life has been put back within the reach of everyone who will believe in His love again. The tree of Life came to us in the flesh and called for all men to eat His flesh and drink His blood.
⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
⁵² The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. ⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me." (John 6:51-57 KJV)
We read in the first chapter of the book of John that the WORD of YAHWEH became flesh and dwelt on earth, so eating His flesh is symbolic of internalizing the WORD of GOD.
¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² The same was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (John 1:1-5 KJV)
¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. ¹¹ He came unto his own, and his own received him not. ¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: ¹³ Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ¹⁴ 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 1:10-14 KJV)
We are to consume the WORD with our faith and belief. As we immerse our heart and mind into the WORD, the WORD fills us, so we abide in the WORD and the WORD abides in us. We abandon our own ways and our own thoughts, our life, for the life that is in the WORD, and we know the WORD is none other the YESHUA HAMASHIACH (Jesus the Christ), which came down from heaven. As we are joined with the life of YESHUA, we become alive as the children of GOD, born of His will. This is the salvation of GOD; the way He has provided to redeem man from the death of disobedience. Those born of GOD through the life of YESHUA live according to the nature of GOD in righteousness because they are of Him.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:9 KJV)
This is the gospel of Christ. As rare as it is preached, as impossible as it may seem, this is the true gospel. Salvation is an impossible proposition for man. That is why it begins at the cross, where we surrender trying to save ourselves and commit to daily getting out of GOD’s way, so He can perform the work. Through the simplicity of belief and trust, as little children trust their parents, we have been called to follow GOD into The WAY everlasting. The truth challenges everything untrue and ingenuine. We must be ready to abandon any beliefs, thoughts, traditions, or behaviors not founded on truth, for the reality that is in GOD and that is GOD. YESHUA came with the sword of the spirit to divide between the true and the false, light and darkness, good and evil, His works and the works of the devil. It is through the light in His life that we are freed from darkness to clearly choose life.
Unfortunately, much of what I hear today from professing Christians isn’t what is written in the record of His word. Today, the gospel of Christ is constantly being interpreted from hearts adulterated with the love of this present world and unbelief. The impact is a church void of the glorious light and life of Christ. I have written this book in the sincere belief that GOD is able to do all He has promised, and that He specializes in performing what man sees as impossible, for His glory unto the salvation of souls. My sincere hope is that this book will serve as a sword of the spirit, which illuminates the gospel of Christ unto revival of His life in the Church for the redeeming of the lost and for the perfecting of the saints, and for the edifying of the body of Christ.

THE FEAR OF THE LORD
P
roverbs 1:7 (KJV) reads:
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Psalm 111:10 (KJV) reads:
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 2:4–6 (KJV) reads:
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom: out
