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
Ever bear in mind — God and men need each other. They are mutually necessary to the full and final attainment of eternal personality experience in the divine destiny of universe finality. 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.
Today!
Right here, right now!
When you are through down here, when your course has been run in temporary form on earth, when your trial trip in the flesh is finished, when the dust that composes the mortal tabernacle "returns to the earth whence it came"; then, it is revealed, the indwelling "Spirit shall return to God who gave it." There sojourns within each moral being of this planet a fragment of God, a part and parcel of divinity. It is not yet yours by right of possession, but it is designedly intended to be one with you if you BELIEVE and CONFESS that JESUS IS LORD – Romans 10: 7-13.
It is beyond imperative that you make this prayer and be born again.
It is a matter of life and death.
Eternal life and eternal death.
Ro 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Do you even begin to fathom the ecstasy in the above verse?
You do not have to be GOOD to be saved.
Just believe as confess.
The believers have discovered something that the average church-goer operating his or her own periodic dogma driven qua satanic rituals.
He is a new creation.
He is born again -regenerated.
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.
1 John. 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
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.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
This is what God says of you if you have read Romans 10:8-13
- You are pure.
- 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.
- 1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
- You are no longer in the flesh hence you are DIVINITY.
- You are joint-heir of the kingdom.
See something.
Romans 8:9-17 and the emphasis on joint-heirship.
Romans 8: 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
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. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
People seldom pay attention to this – the divinity in man at CREATION.
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!
Morality does now give you Eternal Life. I am come that you may have Eternal Life and SALVATION from all the works of the devil even while still in your flesh; that is the message of John 10:10.
Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Joh 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
What Life was the Lord Jesus talking about since he was addressing living beings?
Zoe, or ETERNAL LIFE!
Divinity in humanity!
Deep spirituality in spite of our humanity.
Man's physical environment entails the battle for existence; the social surroundings necessitate ethical adjustments; the moral situations require the making of choices in the highest realms of reason; the spiritual experience (having realized God) demands that man find him and sincerely strive to be like him. This WALK/WORK of FAITH is made very easy because God now lives in MAN.
The walk of faith is not a sight walk.
It is a faith walk.
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
It is also a diligent heart walk.
De 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
God lives in the heart of men.
The kingdom of God is in the heart of men.
Pr 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life
Pr 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
This is Christianity. Christianity is not grounded in the facts of science, the obligations of society, the assumptions of philosophy, straining of the intellect or the implied duties of morality.
Morality has its origin in self-consciousness; it is super-animal but wholly evolutionary. Divinity in Humanity – the 7 levels of Spirituality is about Christ Consciousness. Christ Consciousness is God Consciousness – the awareness that the El Elyon or the Most High God himself who is a SPIRIT now lives in those of his children who believe. The Spirit of Truth - or the Holy Spirit - has now been outpoured upon all FLESH and Emmanuel or God is now with us in us and as us.
You see, my friends, the attainment of various levels of morality does not deliver man from the real struggles of mortal living. You do not attain divinity of holiness by false piety – doing good or being good but by BE-LIVING.
Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Changed Paradigm.
The Jews had to OBEY all the laws and the Commandments to be saved.
All God need from us is to BELIEVE and then ACT out our BELIEF in OBEDIANCE to be saved.
Salvation is an ACT of Faith not of Work.
Ro 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Saving yourself from the fiery darts of the devil is an act of faith, not of works lest you should boast.
You are child of Faith. Ga 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
If you grasp or kakalambano this, your life will be different.
See something.
Do you even know that the Lord Jesus ABOLISHED all the laws and the commandments?
Do you even know that the Bible describes the laws and the commandments as ENEMITY?
Eph 2:15 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Ro 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
You are a child of Faith and if you understand Faith you will do great exploits.
See something else.
See what the Lord God says you are, Chosen and royalty and royal priest and HOLY and peculiar!
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
If you Be-live him by Faith you will have a tremendous life.
Be and Live.
Divinity in humanity: The Seven Levels of Spirituality. How spiritual are you? Test yourself.
Level 6 – LOVE
God is Love
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.

Level 5: Truth
Born of Adam (Man) versus Born of God
Man is always pretentious and assuming.
Let me SHOCK you?
Who told you that God created you?
You were made by your father and you mother!
CONCEIVED IN SIN and CURSES!
Your parents did not even know that you were the one coming.
The outcome of a mere biological exercise – the meeting of a man and a woman.
Reason why you inherited the sins of your parents.
You do not even know some of the 'stuff' you inherited in your subconscious.
Like Father like Son.
See something.
Abraham lied because of a beautiful woman.
His Son, Isaac, told the same lie.
By the time it reached the THIRD GENERATION the lie became something else.
Jacob was a CROOK – a 419er.
But, PAY ATTENTION, the Lord God knows them that are his.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
I was telling us the other day that there is a difference between CREATION and forming or making – Big difference.
Things in Genesis – the Book of ALL Creation were not as automatic as they are seem.
And many people assume that they know what is written in Genesis.
See something.
Genesis 1-2. 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Do you realize that a PERFECT God could not possibly have created a formless earth with darkness upon its face? There are billions of years and pages of narrative to explain why the earth that God created in verse 1 is now formless in verse 2. Until you read the accounts of the Rebellion of Lucifer and Co in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 you will never put the pieces together.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Verse 3. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
What light is the Bible talking about here?
Definitely not the sun and the moon because the sun and the moon were only made on the fourth day.
Joh 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Joh 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
John 1. 1 In 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 anything made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Jesus – the Light of the world – was created at Genesis (in God's Spirit) but he was only formed billions of years later.
Jesus is God.
Go figure. But that is another teaching.
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
And Jesus said unto all who would be his disciples – like ME: Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Genesis 11. The Lord God told the EARTH. 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 grass and the trees were produced by the EARTH not by God directly.
And even then the grass and the herbs and the trees did not appear immediately.
See why.
Genesis 2 tells us that the Lord God finished all the works of creation with 7 days but see Genesis 2 verses 4-5. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
So, albeit already created, it needed the rain for the plants to grow and in needed a man to till the ground as well.
But man saw rain for the first time in Noah's days?
There is a big lesson in here for those of us who would create.
You create in the SPIRIT and then you form later.
Until you see it in the sprit you do not have it.
What has this to do with homosexuals?
The Lord knows them that are his.
See something.
Ro 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Jesus is the ONLY begotten Son of God.
Those who BELIEVE AND CONFESS JESUS are children of God – by adoption because – being essentially SIN - we were in HIM and with Him when he was crucified; we were in him when he died, we were buried with him, we fought the devil for the keys of hell in him and we rose with him. The Lord God now says we are joint-heirs of the Kingdom with Jesus.
Ro 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
The children of God are said to be born-again – born of God.
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. {is born: Gr. has been born}
1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1Jo 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
God is his WORD.
John 1. 1 In 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.
How can one possibly associate the Lord God with creating homosexuals?
How can one possibly associate the Lord God with what he condemns?
Total Satanism!
Le 18: 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Homosexuality is an abomination or a CURSE with roots in SIN and hence curable.
Not enjoyable.
Not to be promoted and propagated!
By the so-called Illuminati – children of the Father, the Devil!
2Pe 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
CURSED CHILDREN, screams Apostle Peter.
The homosexual is under the deep control of the devil and even that can be overcome.
Man could not fight the wiles of the devil on his own strength.
That is why Jesus came.
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
And the Son of God overcome the devil – with us – and gave us POWER in the INNER MAN or our SPIRIT to be born of God and to cast out the devil wherever and whenever we find him.
Not dirty our bodies – the temple of God – with abominations like homosexuality.
We are now born of an incorruptible seed – the SEED or SPERMA of God himself!
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
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.
Friends, this series has a purpose.
I am come to show you that you are born of God and you can overcome all the wiles of the devil. Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
That is me.
So what are you?
Divinity in humanity: The Seven Levels of Spirituality. How spiritual are you? Test yourself.
Chances versus choices.
Until you are born again, you cannot come close to God.
You cannot ENTER his Kingdom.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Do you desire the see God?
You must be born again of FIRE and the HOLY SPIRIT to overcome the devil, his homosexual and other nonsense, you know?
Fire!
Liquid Fire!
Overcoming FIRE!
John 3: 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Do you desire the Holy Spirit to come into your Spirit?
Choices over chances.
Then do this.
Read Romans 10: 8-13 ALOUD and OUTLOUD.
Then do this.
God bless you and the angels rejoice as you march BOLDLY into the presence of your Heavenly Father.

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.
4 STEPS to God
http://www.4stepstogod.com/
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.
4 STEPS to God
http://www.4stepstogod.com/
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."
