Divinity in humanity: The Seven Levels of Spirituality. How spiritual are you? Test yourself.
Level 5: Truth
Self-consciousness Christ Consciousness and the Consciousness of God
God is a Spirit.
Man is a spirit, he lives in a body and he has a soul.
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Ac 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
God-consciousness, as it is experienced by an evolving mortal of the realms, must consist of three varying factors, three differential levels of reality realization. There is first the mind consciousness — the comprehension of the idea of God.
Then follows the soul consciousness — the realization of the ideal of God. Last, dawns the spirit consciousness — the realization of the spirit reality of God. By the unification of these factors of the divine realization, no matter how incomplete, the mortal personality at all times overspreads all conscious levels with a realization of the personality of God. In those Eido or aware mortals this leads to the realization of the supremacy of God. This will now go further –Epignosis!
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
The mortal will no longer know God but eventuate in the realization of the intimacy and ultimacy of God. He now has a super consciousness daily conversation with God.
God Consciousness is inherent in – and starts with - the gift of the Holy Spirit called knowledge.
Let us review Knowledge – three kinds of knowledge.
The Parable of the Plate of Rice
Level 2: Knowledge
Three levels – kinds – of knowledge.
Let me show us something – the Parable of the Plate of Rice.
Here.
I put a plate of rice before thee.
Some people might not KNOW that this is a plate of rice!
If that plate of rice contains poison some people would not KNOW.
If you can eat the rice and the poison and nothing would happen to you some people would not KNOW.
Whereas it is possible for MAN to operate at a HIGHER LEVEL of KNOWLEDGE!
The level where you see – KNOW – what is not seen of/by human eyes.
Level 0 – Gnosis.
Surely the man of gnosis could use his education and experience to see that this is a plate of rice. Some might not. Reason being that they found white stones in the last plate of rice that they ate so their education and experience teach them to wonder if rice and white stones are not synonymous. Hence they judge all plates of rice from the prism of THE WHITE STONES. And then they – intellectuals and philosophers - push their paranoia to the limits by trying to make all of humanity believe that rice=white stones.
Level 1 – Ginosko.
The man of Ginosko would see the white stones in the rice. He WILL see the poison in the rice. Ginosko is REVELATIONAL KNOWLEDGE. Mt. 16:13. The Lord Jesus asked Peter. Who do men say I am? Watch the answer. Peter said: Thou art the Christ! Other translations say THOU ART THE CHRIST OF GOD!
Who GAVE - TOLD Peter this answer that could be the topic of 10 other teachings?
Verse 17. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Jesus is the CHRIST of God but the Christ of God is not Jesus!
So, the Lord God is in the business of making REVELATIONAL KNOWLEDGE – GINOSKO - available to his children?
Emphatically, YES!
Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Nature and Gifts of the Spirit of God
The Christ of God is the SPIRIT of GOD!
The enabling power of God – the unction to function!
THE POWER OF GOD!
THE HOLY SPIRIT!
And, there are SEVEN spirits in that HOLY SPIRIT: Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Counsel, Stamina, Moral Rectitude and the LOVE of God!
There are nine GIFTS in the HOLY SPIRIT –Praying in tongues, Interpreting prayers in tongues and Prophecy at the lowest level. Then Faith, Healing and doing miracles at the middle level and then having the Word of Wisdom, the Word of Knowledge – Ginosko or Revelation knowledge
When you become born again – not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible – by SAYING JESUS IS LORD, the HOLY SPIRIT comes into your life with the plenitude of its seven-ness and with some of HIS NINE GIFTS.
Some can heal, some are prophets to foretell and to forth tell and to HEW the children of God. Some can do miracles; ALL MUST speak in tongues, etc.
It is your responsibility to LEARN to master or grow in the GIFTS of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Level 2. Eido or OIDA.
This is the level where you are AWARE that you know. You just know that you know. You just know that there is POISON in that plate of RICE. You are AWARE. How? By DIVINITY or HIGHER LEVEL SPIRITUALITY! You just know. You know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know...to INFINITY. You just know!
Level 3. EPIGNOSIS.
Your ability to interact with the SOUCE of all KNOWLEDGE.
Your ability to SPEAK to GOD and to HEAR him!
Here.
Let me show you something.
Very EASY.
Two of you get together – at least TWO.
Each one: Ask the LORD GOD a QUESTION.
Then LISTEN to his answer.
Tell each other your question and HIS ANSWER.
You get it?
The still small VOICE?
Do you KNOW that this VOICE has always been in you and with you and for you and around you?
That is what it is!
KNOWING YOUR DIVINITY in spite of your Humanity – Ye are Gods.
Ps 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
But if you do not know this…
VERSE 7. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
You are not a mere man.
YE IS.
Ye are Gods!
Your spirituality – divinity – is measured by your ability to see – KNOW- what is not SEEN by human eyes.
Your spirituality – divinity – is measured by your ability to see – KNOW - with the eyes of THE SPIRIT!
Your spirituality – divinity – is measured by your ability to hear – HEAR - with the ears of THE SPIRIT!
The EYES and the EARS OF THE INNER MAN.
Friend, I make this prayer for you today.
Ephesians 3. 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might – POWER - by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Filled with all the fullness of God i.e. be Christ and God conscious.
The consciousness of the treasure that you carry in your earthen vessel.
2Co 4: 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
God is a Spirit
Man is a Spirit.
The essential you is a Spirit.
The difficulties and paradoxes of Christianity are inherent in the fact that the realities of Christianity are utterly beyond the mortal capacity for intellectual comprehension.
Christianity is an independent realm of human response to life situations and is unfailingly exhibited at all stages of human development – physically and spiritually. Christianity may permeate all levels of the realization of values and the enjoyment of universe fellowship: the physical or material level of self-preservation; the social or emotional level of fellowship; the moral or duty level of reason;
But the final is the divinely spiritual level of the consciousness of fellowship with the FATHER himself through divine worship.
The awareness that you and the FATHER ARE ONE AND HENCE EPIGNOSIS or daily conversation with the SPIRIT FATHER is POSSIBLE and desired – minute by minute and second by second conversation.
This is what the El-Elyon or THE MOST HIGH GOD desires of his children.
That hour has come.
That hour is NOW!
Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Now in religion.
Not because you are a prominent member of the Holy Roman Baptist Pentecostal Apostolic Full Gospel Evangelical Only True Church of God?
Not in dogma.
Not in false teachings.
In spirit and in truth!
By FIRE!
The Baptism of Fire!
The Baptism of the Holy Ghost!
The God that your Faith dictates that you worship.
The fact-seeking scientist conceives of God as the First Cause, a God of force. The emotional artist sees God as the ideal of beauty, a God of aesthetics. The reasoning philosopher is sometimes inclined to posit a God of universal unity, even a pantheistic Deity. The Christian – Child of Faith - believes in a God who fosters survival, the Father in heaven, the God of love.
Okay, see something.
This is the TIME we live in.
He day when the Father has POURED OUT HIS SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH!
Yes, he has!
Right here!
Right now!
The Day as in the Prophecy of Joel the Prophet and as magnified by Peter the Apostle.
Joe 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Plain truth.
So, you say you are an UNBELIEVER, do you?
So you were conceived by your sinful parents in sin?
So you are a murderer?
Etc
Now, what happens when the SPIRIT of the Lord is poured upon your unbelieving flesh?
You become born again, tongue-speaking, spirit-filled prophesying child of God – period.
I QUICKEN YOU TO BE SO.
POWER versus POWER!
2Co 10: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Divinity in humanity: The Seven Levels of Spirituality. How spiritual are you? Test yourself.
Level 5: Truth Part 1.
Self-consciousness Christ Consciousness and the Consciousness of God
Level 1 is Belief i.e. accept what God says as Absolute Truth.
Level 2 is Knowledge which helps people know God and what they can receive from him.
Level 3 is Wisdom operating at a 'mystical' realm to some but mere Christian realm to us.
Level 4 is Faith. The ability to see the invisible and to hear the impossible.
These levels are in a continuum. They just flow into each other.
Level 5. Truth. What is truth?
Joh 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Note that it is MAKE – present continuous – not SET.
The Truth makes you FREE.
Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
The Son of God is the Word of God and if the Word of God MAKES you free, you are free indeed.
What is truth?
Philosophers commit their gravest error when they are misled into the fallacy of abstraction, the practice of focusing the attention upon one aspect of reality and then of pronouncing such an isolated aspect to be the whole truth.
Intellectual self-consciousness can discover the beauty of truth, its spiritual quality, not only by the philosophic consistency of its concepts, but more certainly and surely by the unerring response of the ever-present Spirit of Truth. Happiness ensues from the recognition of truth because it can be acted out; it can be lived.
Disappointment and sorrow attend upon error because, not being a reality, it cannot be realized in experience.
Divine truth is best known by its spiritual flavor.
What is TRUTH?
Note that I said what is TRUTH?
Not what is the Truth?
The Word of God is TRUTH.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Ps 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
And this we know that Jesus is the word of God become flesh. John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And Jesus is God. And Jesus was made FLESH. 1 John: 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.
Therefore Jesus is the Word of God.
Therefore Jesus is God
Therefore God is Truth.
And that is the TRUTH.
You want me to prove all of this to you? Col 2: 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one
This is my son IN WHOM – INSIDE WHOM!!!!
Mt 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mt 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Mr 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
God is a SPIRIT and as the Spirit of God was pleased to be in Christ so too is that Holy Spirit pleased to be in all who believe. Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
In Christ you are also part of the Godhead. Now you can return to your Father. 2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The quest of the Christian – his or her spirituality - is for unification, for divine coherence fot that oneness.
The truth — an understanding of divine and spiritual precepts, statutes, ordinances, commandments, relationships, universe facts, and spiritual values — can best be had through the ministry of the Spirit of Truth – the Holy Spirit - and can best be criticized by revelation. But revelation is neither a science nor a religion; revelation co-ordinates both science and religion with the truth or reality. Always, in the absence of revelation or in the failure to accept or grasp it, has mortal man resorted to his futile gesture of metaphysics, necromancy, Freemasonry, witchcraft, Illuminati, as being human substitutes for the revelation of truth or for the mota of morontia personality.
His Spirit upon all Flesh
At least two ancient prophets and Apostle Peter himself announced the times we live in:
Joe 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward (today), that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Ac 2: 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
for the Adjusters do not come to all bona fide human beings until the Spirit of Truth has been poured out upon all flesh.
Ezekiel 36: 24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
Divinity in humanity: The Seven Levels of Spirituality. How spiritual are you? Test yourself.
Level 5: Truth
The Way, the Truth and the Life
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The WAY is HIS WAY.
His Way is Love.
For God so loved that he GAVE.
Love is Giving – selfless sacrifice.
The Truth is your ability to be connected to the VOICE within, to hear from God; to be LEAD – not by sight but by the Holy Spirit who has not only been poured upon all flesh but who is a living and an active – DYNAMIC – force in you, as you, with you and for you.
See something.
Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
Mission versus purpose. The Lord Jesus came that we might have ETERNAL LIFE and the proof of this ETERNAL LIFE is the LIFE of God in us, manifested by the SPIRIT of TRUTH or the Holy Spirit.
1Jo 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.
This is the Good News!
This is the Gospel of the kingdom. Christ lives in you, as you for you and with you.
Glory!!!!!!
That is why Apostle Paul could say with such authority.
Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
This is true!
Does Christ live in you?
Do you want the Christ to live in you?
Are you baptized in the Holy Spirit?
Do this.
The treasure in earthen vessels.
The presence of God himself in you!
Emmanuel – God with us!
And, when you have the Christ in you, you operate at a different and a higher level of wisdom and spirituality and divinity – LIFE!
1Jo 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
You can say, 1Jo 5:12 He that hath the Son hath Truth; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not the TRUTH.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
When you accept Jesus in your life, your SPIRIT is born again – regenerated and QUICKENED! Ro 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
You get the Holy Spirit by being baptized by the Lord Jesus himself.
It depends on you and the desire in your heart.
You are BORN AGAIN – REGERATED – in the Spirit.
But you are still in the flesh.
And you still have a soul.
SAVED – BEING SAVED – TO BE SAVED.
Your body will be saved at the resurrection when the Lord God gives you a resurrection body.
You can already tell what the resurrection body is like after the Order of the Resurrected Jesus.
That body appears and disappears; it does not know walls; it eats bread and fish and then it takes off to heaven like a Harrier Jet!
The challenge is with your MIND.
The Mind is but a gateway to the SOUL.
The entire purpose of SPIRITUALITY – DIVINITY IN HUMANITY – is for mortal man to get the POWER from God to deal with his humanity.
Try dealing with sin and the things of the flesh with your own power and you will fail – fail spectacularly.
God gives you the Holy SPIRIT that you might get a FAIT advantage and be a WINNER and an overcomer.
Let Go and Let God. Not by might, not by power!
Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts
1Sa 2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
The challenge of Christianity is living DIVINITY in and in spite of our Humanity.
The challenge of Christianity is living our spirituality for VICTORY.
The challenge of Christianity is living the New Creation Reality – here and now!
Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
There is but "one God and Father of all, who is above all and in all," "and he is before all things, and in him all things consist."

Level 5: Truth
The Way, the Truth and the Life
2 Co. 4: 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Col 2: 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Ps 119:89. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Ps 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path
Ps 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
Ps 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
Pr 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understandingSee this.
Joh 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.
Ro 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen
Ro 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Do you even begin to fathom the ecstasy 2 Co 5:17in the above verse?
Can you even fathom the unsearchable wisdom of God in this awesome verse?
Joh 1:12 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.
Something happens to the you that is IN YOU when you accept Jesus in your life.
You are now a new creation.
You are regenerated.
You are a Christian.
The Holy Spirit returns to dwell in you and to show you that you are a son of God. Romans 8: 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
That we are now BORN AGAIN.
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
Why?
Because the Word of God says so and you believe it and you know it to be true. It starts with BELIEF.
1Jo 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
And then knowing this to be true by FAITH.
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
This is Christianity. Christianity is not grounded in the facts of science, the obligations of society, the assumptions of philosophy, the straining of the intellect or the implied duties of morality.
Christianity is about Be-LIVING. My father wants you to BE all the things that he says about you in the Epistles especially.
Then LIVE!
Christianity is a RELATIONSHIP between you and God himself which relationship is established by the awareness that Christ or the Holy Spirit of God lives in you and connects you to God.
With tangible proofs that the Lord God is in residence – your ability to shagaash, to sheegesh and to reketesh and to ramblatesh! ie YOUR TONGUE!
Speaking mysteries in other tongues!
You see this God. He is the one who chooses the most UNRULY member of the tribe to confound they that think they are wise. 1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
When we get to the LIFE-LEVEL of divinity you will see where God himself – the El-Elyon or the Most High God hid your life!
Your Tongue, Your Words!
Pr 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit
De 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Do you desire LIFE?
Read Romans 10:8-13.
ALOUD and OUTLOUD!
Then use your TONGUE and do this.
Pr 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Pr 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
WORDS! WORDS! WORDS!
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word is Life.
The Word of God is God!
Jesus is the Word of God!
Jesus is God!
Jesus is Life!
1Jo 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Col 3: 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Level 5: Truth
In His IMAGE AND LIKENESS – His LOOKS AND CHARACTER
Truth.
Colossians 1: 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
CHRIST IN YOU is your only HOPE of Glory!
Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
This series, "Divinity in humanity: The Seven Levels of Spirituality. How spiritual are you? Test yourself" is only possible because of the Christ in me.
I am led through this teaching by the Christ in Me.
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Often, it takes me less than 10 minutes to write a segment. I just start the first sentence and the SPIRIT of TRUTH, the Holy Ghost himself, the God in me, takes it up and the task is done.
I am a Prophet.
The Prophets are also EXPOUNDERS of the Word of God.
Why?
Because of the PRESENCE and the GIFT of prophesy in them.
I cannot not EXPOUND the WORD of God.
With power!
1Jo 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
And I know that Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
See something.
Where the fish is smarter than the man?
Where the tree is smarter than the man?
They know where they came from and where they belong.
Genesis 1: 11. 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
The trees and the grass were produced by the earth.
Reason why they cannot live without the earth.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
The fishes and the whales were produced by the waters or the seas.
Reason why they KNOW that they cannot live without the water.
And, have you noticed the love for water and swimming and fishing in every bird?
But You?
Why do you know that you are made out of and of the Spirit of God and hence God himself?
Why do you know know that you cannot live without God.
Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
You are the outcome of the very First Executive Decision involving God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.
Genesis 1:26. 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
If the fish cannot live without the water and the tree cannot live without the land what makes you think you can live without God?
We were made by a Triune and Tripartite God.
Every one of them chipped in something to make us.
The Father gave us of his SPIRIT – God is a Spirit: Man is a Spirit. Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils
The Son gave us a Body: Reason why he is the Son of Man and he calls us his brothers.
Mt 28:10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
The mind is the gateway to the Soul.
We look like the Lord God and we have his character. 1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Now are we the sons of God.
Now.
Not tomorrow
Now.
The Holy Spirit gave us a SOUL.
The mind is the gateway to the SOUL.
The Soul contains the conscious and sub-conscious you.
Your soul is like a hard drive. It contains things that you may not even know about. Issues that came from your bloodline. But this is another teaching.
Your Personality was bequeathed to us by both the Father and the SON.
The personality of mortal man is neither body, nor mind, nor spirit; neither is it the soul. Personality is the one changeless reality in an otherwise ever-changing human experience. The PERSONALITY combines all factors of individuality. The personality is the unique bestowal which the Father and the SON make upon the living and associated energies of matter, mind, and spirit, and which survives with the survival of the soul.
You are unique.
There is only one you.
Of the circa 8 billion people existing on earth today and of the circa 20 billion that the Father has created so far, there is only ONE YOU.
Where is this leading to?
Elementary, my dear sister.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
When you accept Jesus in your life, your SPIRIT is born again – regenerated and QUICKENED! Ro 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
You get the Holy Spirit by being baptized by the Lord Jesus himself.
It depends on you and the desire in your heart.
You are BORN AGAIN – REGERATED – in the Spirit.
But you are still in the flesh.
And you still have a soul.
SAVED – BEING SAVED – TO BE SAVED.
Your body will be saved at the resurrection when the Lord God gives you a resurrection body.
You can already tell what the resurrection body is like after the Order of the Resurrected Jesus.
That body appears and disappears; it does not know walls; it eats bread and fish and then it takes off to heaven like a Harrier Jet!
The challenge is with your MIND.
The Mind is but a gateway to the SOUL.
Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The entire purpose of SPIIRITUALITY – DIVINITY IN HUMANITY – is for mortal man to get the POWER from god to deal with his humanity.
Try dealing with Sin and the things of the flesh with your own power and you will fail – fail spectacularly.
God gives you the Holy SPIRIT that you might get a FAIR advantage and be a WINNER and an overcomer.
Let Go and Let God. Not by might, not by power!
Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, this is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts
1Sa 2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
The challenge of Christianity is living DIVINITY in and in spite of our Humanity.
The challenge of Christianity is living our spirituality for VICTORY.
The challenge of Christianity is living the New Creation Reality – here and now!
Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
There is but "one God and Father of all, who is above all and in all," "and he is before all things, and in him all things consist."
Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
TRUTH: God Consciousness
What is truth?
Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself (HIMSELF) beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
