Gospel of the Kingdom
Saved- Being Saved- To be Saved
Spirit – Soul - Body Salvation
Prophet Ntemfac Ofege
Self-consciousness, Christ Consciousness and the Consciousness of God
God is a Spirit. Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth
Man is a spirit, he lives in a body and he has a soul. 1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The body and soul of man make the man hu-man or animal man. The body and soul of man permit man to live in the five sensory dimension of both the conscious and sub-conscious. The spirit of man, however, can - if it is regenerated, born-again or quickened - function in the super conscious multisensory dimension of God because the regenerated spirit of man now becomes a New Creature, a New Man, the Temple of God and thus the abode of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.
The regenerated, quickened Spirit of man is said to be saved or born again.
Spirit Salvation is instanta – most immediate, fast-tracked. Quickened. If you receive Jesus. To those who received him, he gave them POWER to become the Sons of God by telling them that they were exactly like him and they can do even greater exploits than he did.
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. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. …. 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.
A few dared to believe Jesus and became his disciples. But most seek darkness rather than the Light.
Do you desire to save, regenerate and quicken your spirit?
Then do this:
You translate the belief that the Lord God put in your heart into a confession of faith with your mouth.
Romans 10:8-15. 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. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Do you even begin to fathom the ecstasy in the above verse? Jesus said: Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
The confession of belief is in partial fulfillment of the righteousness in John 14:23
It is not about morality or being good. You do not get ETERNAL life by being good, pious and devout like Cornelius. See Acts 10.
Ac 10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
Cornelius was a good man but he was not saved. He did not have Eternal Life. The Lord God had to cause Peter to come down and save Cornelius i.e. give him eternal life.
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? It is called Zoe, or ETERNAL LIFE! When the Lord God created the man he breathed upon him and the man became a living soul or a living being. When the man sinned, the spirit of God left the man because the spirit of God is too holy to thrive in sin. The Lord Jesus restored the man and made him a living spirit.
1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Pentecost is about the Relocation of Divinity. The Holy Spirit of God which had left the sinful man now returned to the man to quicken him in obtaining eternal life and to quicken or empower him in the daily struggle of survival of his soul.
Divinity in humanity is now possible!
Multisensory perception and intuition is now possible!
Operating in the super conscious is now possible!
Deep spirituality in spite of our humanity is now possible!
This is the real message of the Bible Parable of the Prodigal Son. Luke 15:11-32. The hu-man, or animal man, had taken all his inheritance rom the father and then went away to waste his substance. When things got very rough he was forced to eat out of the very trough as the pigs. Then, realizing himself one day, he said: Yes, I will arise and return to my Father. And, the Father welcomes him and restored him unto his divinity and his inheritance.
Do you want the father to restore you this day? Do you desire to arise and return to your Father?
Then do this:
The basic teaching of Jesus was to emphasize man’s divinity but with over 300 “Christian” denominations today many accusing the other of blasphemy, we have to ask what happened to the original message of Jesus – to give unto man life abundantly or to confer unto man eternal life?
The Bible is loaded with Jesus’ teachings about the Kingdom of God that is now given unto man thanks to the Good Pleasure of the El Elyon himself.
Lu 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
The Lord Jesus even calls us his brothers and Apostle Paul says we are joint-heirs with Christ upon the throne of God!
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.
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. Divinity is now relocated unto the man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson fine stroke is succinct:
“When we have broken with the god of tradition, and ceased to worship the god of our intellect, the Lord God himself fires us with his presence.”
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.
You do not have to be GOOD 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.
You are a child of Faith and if you understand Faith you will do great exploits.
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.
Just believe and confess.
By Faith, which cometh by hearing the Word of God.
Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
The Jews had to OBEY all the laws and the Commandments to be saved.
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.
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:
This is what God says of you if you have read Romans 10:8-13
- You are Chosen.
- You are Royalty.
- You are pure or holy.
- You are a Priest and thus a King-priest.
- You are a Special One.
- You are a New Creature and a New Man or woman. 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.
- You are no longer in the flesh hence you are DIVINITY.
- You are joint-heir of the kingdom.
- You are a Child of God.
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.
If you Be-live him by Faith you will have a tremendous life.
Be and Live.
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!
New Creation Reality: The New Man
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 old you was created by after the order of Adam and your parents who were then essentially sin and death. The new you, the you who has belief in the heart and has now confessed that Jesus is Lord, is created and quickened after the order of Christ.
1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
This new you – in the spirit is a NEW creature; a man or a woman who has never existed before!
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.
You are now born again not of the corruptible seed of Adam but by the sperma of God or the word of God which liveth and abideth forever.
1Pe 1:18-23 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
The Bible says you are now a new man born after the Order of God.
Eph 2:15 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; Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. {true...: or, holiness of truth} Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Listen, you don’t understand it: Not yet anyway. Oh, if only you’d perceive it in your INNER MAN OR WOMAN and then grab or katalambano it forever. If you do, you will WALK ON WATER! God is a Spirit. You are born of God hence the essential you is a spirit. Man is a spirit, he lives in a body and he has a soul. A spirit is ageless hence Ancient of Days. It is beginning-less hence the Alpha and the Omega. He is endless, timeless, and space-less. He created you, right, after his image and after his nature or character. Therefore the REAL you, your INNER MAN is like unto God. That is why the Lord God himself makes this lethal proclamation about you. Psalms 82:6. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High.
And if you do not know this, you will die as an ordinary prince. The child of a KING-God is a prince, of course but don’t be an ordinary prince. Be extra-ordinary; be discovery. Be a WANDA! So why are you not a god? Why don’t you walk on water? Why are you not as self-contained, as self-existent, as self-willed, as self-purposive, as self-personalized and divine, as self-distributive, as self-expansive, as self-experiential, as self-projected and time-space-transcending, as omnipotent, as omniscient, and as omnipresent as the God who created you in his image and his likeness. You say a lizard is a lizard because it will always look like and behave like a lizard! So why are you not exactly like the God who created you in his image and after his likeness? The answer is in SIN, IGNORANCE and the UN-AWARENESS or un-EIDO that you are going somewhere, the NECESSITY for training and self-actualization as a deity and the unawareness of the master plan of our God.
Ho 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
The Soul: Saving Your Soul
Your spirit does not belong to you hence you cannot lose it. But you can lose your soul: to the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21
God is your soul salvation. You save your soul by renewing your mind and connecting that mind to the root-source of daily; minute by minute and second by second salvation.
Romans 12:1-2
Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 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.
Soul Salvation by the renewal of the mind.
To understand soul salvation and how to save your soul you must first understand the mind of man and the relationship of the mind of man to his soul. The mind is the gate-way to the soul.
Your spirit is super conscious, we have seen that.
Your mind has two parts.
- The conscious
- The sub-conscious.
- The mind is both sub-conscious and conscious.
You conscious mind or soul contains both your contemplation and imagination.
Your sub-conscious mind contains your memory.
The mind is the gateway to the soul
The Soul has 03 parts:
- Contemplation or the now
- Memory or the yesterday
- Imagination or the tomorrow
While you may be conscious of the things you are – your personality – and your talents (because these things are visible) there are things in your sub-conscious mind that you know nothing about. And these things have been there for centuries, going from one generation to the next and manifesting in the day of trouble. And, until some of the issues functioning in the sub-conscious mind are dealt with or eliminated you may not reach the full potential of saving your soul.
Have you head the statement: like father like son? Patterns of the bloodline. If your father was a drunk, you stand a fair chance of being a drunk. If your mother dies of breast cancer, you stand a fair chance of dying from breast cancer. The first trait - winebibbing - is character trait developed from a bloodline pattern. The disease is genetic.
These issues are curses that escalate from the first until the fourth generation.
Exodus 20: 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Abraham lied over Sarah, a fair or beautiful woman.
His son, Isaac, told the same lie over Rebecca, a fair or beautiful woman.
The third generation, Jacob, was not a mere liar. Jacob was a 419er!
Fortunately, see this:
Ga 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Christ has indeed redeemed us from all the curses that the Lord God put on the earth and all the curses that are in the law and principles of God but until you have Christ you will always be a victim of the law and its curses.
See something. What Jesus did for us on the Cross.
Isaiah 53: 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace (SIN) was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Transgressions are wrongdoings, misbehaviors, disobediences, lapses, contraventions, misdemeanors, indiscretions and offenses. Transgression is when you break the law of God, in contempt of the law of God.
Iniquities are the habit of committing immoralities, evil, injustices, crimes, sins, vices, heinousness and wickedness. Iniquity is when sin and transgression become a habit.
Sin is when you miss the mark. Sin for the Old Testament Christian was a transgression because they broke the law.
Sin for the Jews of Old was a violation of the 622 laws and commandments. Sin for the New Testament Christian is when you fail to obey the Voice of faith.
Ro 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eats, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Whatsoever is not of FAITH is sin.
Sin is Enmity with God.
Punishment for transgressions, iniquities and sin are afflictions such as infirmities i.e. illnesses, diseases (known or unknown), frailties, sicknesses, weaknesses, disabilities, susceptibilities, ailments, maladies, etc.
Deuteronomy 28 has a LONG SCARY LIST of the retribution available to all who violated the laws and commandments of God.
Deuteronomy 28: 15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: 29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: 34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee. 38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. 39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. 41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. 42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; 50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: 54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: 55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. 58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; 59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. 63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! And at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! For the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
Friend, you open yourself to the above curses if you do not believe. The devil will take advantage of you unbelief to nail you.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The Lord God has placed before you two things: Life and death. Choose life-salvation that you may live.
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:
When your mind is thus endowed with the Holy Spirit, you automatically possess the capacity for (consciously or unconsciously) knowing all the devices of the devil and escaping from them. You are now said to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus himself is the Baptizer.
You now have the VOICE of FAITH in residence and you walk/work not by sight but by FAITH.
Divinity in humanity!
Spiritualism!
Christianity!
You now live the higher life of all mystics.
The Spirit of Truth works as one with the presence of God the Son and God the Father himself.
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, if a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
The coming of the Holy Spirit is itself in answer to a prayer Jesus man for all who would believe.
John 17: 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Though the Holy Spirit – the Spirit of Truth - is poured out upon all flesh, HE is wholly limited in function and power by man’s personal reception – YOUR WILL. The Holy Spirit is partly independent of human attitude and partially conditioned by the decisions and co-operation of the will of man.
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.
What if you refuse to BELIEVE and CONFESS?
Do you then turn around and blame God for LIVING in HELL and GOING TO HELL?
The Lord God has called and empowered his ministers to help you.
Ephesians 4:11. 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
I am a Prophet in my ministry doing my duty.
That duty is to show you the HOW and to exhort to comfort and to strengthen you to do RIGHT.
The rest is up to you.
Do you now wish to receive Jesus, Eternal Life and be baptized in the Holy Spirit?
Then do this: There is ONLY One Way
The Holy Spirit and You
When you are baptized with fire, the Holy Spirit becomes increasingly effective in your sanctification and spiritualization. You now become aware – Eido - and you soon start following DIVINE GUIDANCE.
Although Divinity may be plural in manifestation, in human experience its manifestation is singular. The SEVEN levels of spirituality are 1. Believe 2. Knowledge 3. Wisdom 4. Faith 5. Truth 6. Love and 7 Life but they are ONE really. They are a continuum – an unbreakable chain. Hence the spiritual ministry is not plural in human experience. Regardless of plurality of origin – Father and Son and Holy Ghost - all spirit influences are one in function. Indeed they are one, being the spirit ministry of God. As you GROW in the Sevenfold SPIRITUALITY in appreciation of, and receptivity for, this unifying ministry of the spirit, it becomes in your experience the ministry of God himself.
Working in you: Walking with you!
Working and walking as you!
From the heights of eternal glory the Holy Spirit has descended – Like a dove - by a long series of steps, to meet you as you are and where you are and then, in the partnership of faith, lovingly to embrace YOU – spirit, soul and body - and to embark on the sure and certain retracement of those steps of condescension, never stopping until the evolutionary soul is safely exalted to the very heights of bliss from which the divine Spirit originally sallied forth on this mission of mercy and ministry.
When the Father created us he said – VERY GOOD!
Very God, if you like.
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.
The duty of the Holy Spirit is to restore the DIVINITY that we lost.
Spiritual forces unerringly seek and attain their own original levels. Having gone out from God, they are certain to return thereto, bringing with them all those children of time and space who have espoused the leading and teaching of the indwelling Adjuster, those who have been truly “born of the Spirit,” the faith sons of God.
The song says: Yes, I shall arise and return to my Father!
The Holy Ghost is the source of continual ministry and encouragement to the children of men. Your power and achievement is “according to his mercy, through the renewing of the Spirit.” Spiritual life, like physical energy, is consumed.
Mt 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Lu 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, it is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
You live by BREAD, yes!
You also LIVE by the HOLY SPIRIT.
You cannot not LIVE by the Holy Spirit!
Spiritual effort results in relative spiritual exhaustion. The whole ascendant experience is real as well as spiritual; therefore, it is truly written, “It is the Spirit that quickens.” “The Spirit gives life.”
Adam was ONLY a Living SPIRIT.
Jesus is a Life-Giving Spirit.
And as he is so are we in this world.
1Jo 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world
We can resurrect and give life to everything we want.
The dead theory of even the highest religious doctrines is powerless to transform human character or to control mortal behavior. What the world of today needs is the truth which your teacher of old declared: “Not in word only but also in power and in the Holy Spirit.” The seed of theoretical truth is dead, the highest moral concepts without effect, unless and until the Holy Spirit breathes upon the forms of truth and quickens the formulas of righteousness.
Those who have received and recognized the indwelling of God have been born of the Spirit. “You are the temple of God, and the spirit of God dwells in you.” It is not enough that this spirit be poured out upon you; the divine Spirit must dominate and control every phase of human experience.
It is the presence of the divine Spirit, the water of life that prevents the consuming thirst of mortal discontent and that indescribable hunger of the unspiritualized human mind. Spirit-motivated beings “never thirst, for this spiritual water shall be in them a well of satisfaction springing up into life everlasting.” Such divinely watered souls are all but independent of material environment as regards the joys of living and the satisfactions of earthly existence. They are spiritually illuminated and refreshed, morally strengthened and endowed.
We are DIVINES: Walking in Human bodies!
In every mortal there exists a dual nature: the inheritance of animal tendencies and the high urge of spirit endowment.
Ga 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
During the short life we live on Earth, these two diverse and opposing urges can seldom be fully reconciled; they can hardly be harmonized and unified; but throughout your lifetime the combined Spirit ever ministers to assist you in subjecting the flesh more and more to the leading of the Spirit. Even though you must live your material life through, even though you cannot escape the body and its necessities, nonetheless, in purpose and ideals you are empowered increasingly to subject the animal nature – FLESHY NATURE - to the mastery of the Spirit.
Ro 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
There truly exists within you a conspiracy of spiritual forces, a confederation of divine powers, whose exclusive purpose is to effect your final deliverance from material bondage and finite handicaps.
The purpose of all this ministration is, “That you may be strengthened with power through His spirit in the inner man.” And all this represents but the preliminary steps to the final attainment of the perfection of faith and service, that experience wherein you shall be “filled with all the fullness of God,” “for all those who are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God.”
The Spirit never drives, only leads. If you are a willing learner, if you want to attain spirit levels and reach divine heights, if you sincerely desire to reach the eternal goal, then the divine Spirit will gently and lovingly lead you along the pathway of son ship and spiritual progress. Every step you take must be one of willingness, intelligent and cheerful co-operation. The domination of the Spirit is never tainted with coercion nor compromised by compulsion.
And when such a life of spirit guidance is freely and intelligently accepted – Starting with BELIEF and CONFESSION - there gradually develops within the human mind a positive consciousness of divine contact and assurance of spirit communion; sooner or later “the Spirit bears witness with your spirit that you are a child of God.” Already has your INNER MAN has told you of your kinship to God so that the record testifies that the Spirit bears witness “with your spirit,” not to your spirit.
The consciousness of the spirit domination of a human life is presently attended by an increasing exhibition of the characteristics of the Spirit in the life reactions of such a spirit-led mortal, “for the fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.” Such spirit-guided and divinely illuminated mortals, while they yet tread the lowly paths of toil and in human faithfulness perform the duties of their earthly assignments, have already begun to discern the lights of eternal life as they glimmer on the faraway shores of another world; already have they begun to comprehend the reality of that inspiring and comforting truth, “The kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” And throughout every trial and in the presence of every hardship, spirit-born souls are sustained by that hope which transcends all fear because the love of God is shed abroad in all hearts by the presence of the divine Spirit.
Do you now desire the Living-Liquid fire of the Holy Ghost?
Do this.
Christ has (and can) QUICKENED US and freed us from all of the above if we hearken to this voice and not harden our hearts.
Ephesians 2: 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 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; 15 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; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Jesus the Ha-Mashiach born all our afflictions by his 39 strokes (one for every disease) and by his stripes we WERE (and are) healed.
We are now allowed to be ill or sick.
If we believe.
Isaiah 53: 1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 ¶ Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Friend, come boldly unto Christ this day that thou mayest obtain saving grace.
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Do you want the Christ or the same POWER that made Jesus an overcomer in your life?
Then do this, right now:
If you do not have Christ, your life will always be in crises as my headmaster in Bible School, Pastor Clement Mbambad, says.
The very presence of the Christ of God in your life quickens you and gives you salvation by causing you to be aware when the devil or his demons come. 2Co 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
For when the enemy comes rushing in like a flood, the indwelling spirit of God shall raise a standard against him:
Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
Even whilst you are asleep!!!
The mind is the gateway to the soul hence I am saying that you can lose your mind. The carnal mind or the fleshy mind is the mind of the Soul man or the five-sense man. This man is driven by his eyes upon the butts before him, driven by his ears, driven by his penis, driven by his thirst, in finem driven by his flesh. He or she cannot please God.
Ro 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
The Soul man is a Pig man, always itchy to swim in the mud. Take him out of the mud, bathe him clean and he runs back into the mud. What does it profit you if you gain the world but lose your soul?
Mr 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
While spiritual salvation is INSTANTA, saving your soul is continuous. In fact, this is the essential salvation. You save your soul from all the above named works of the flesh as named in Galatians 5:19-21: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.
Spirit salvation is not by works but soul salvation is by works of faith. Works of faith are those works given unto you by the now indwelling WORD of Faith in your spirit. Soul salvation is enabled and facilitated by the POWER of God now living in you - the Holy Spirit.
You may have control over mind issues engendered by your contemplation and imagination but you especially need the Christ of God to unprogramme and deprogramme the mind-sin issues that creep up from your sub-conscious or your memory. Homosexuality is one such issue. You need the Christ of God to unprogramme and deprogramme you from the issues that caused you to be in this predicament because these issues are of God himself – a violation of the Law on/of Idolatry.
See Romans 1: 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Body Salvation
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.
I will not dwell much on the hu-man body because it is dust and the flesh profiteth nothing.
Ro 8: 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.
However, body Salvation is at the rapture.
When the mortal puts on immortality.
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
You can begin to tell what the resurrection body will be like from the body of the risen Christ. The resurrection body appears and disappears; it does not know walls. It eats fish and bread but it takes off like a Harrier Jet. See the Ascension.
Saved – being saved – to be Saved
The Times – Eschatology or End Times.
The Times we live in
Revelations 12, 13 and 17.
Herewith I start POURING LIQUID FIRE UPON and INTO thy SPIRIT.
Even if you do not believe.
Friends, these are perilous times. These are the times of the Antichrist. You need Salvation and strength to prevail. You need the Christ to march boldly into the Kingdom of Your God and my God; your Father and my Father.
Mt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The ends times are here with us folks.
I am come to preach the Gospel of the End Times.
Christianity, as you know it, has indeed done a great service for this world, but its limitations is that is does not bring SALVATION, RESURRECTION, LIFE AND POWER!
What kind of Christian are you if you cannot escape poverty, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, misery, disease and the WILES of the devil?
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Yet you shout: 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.
You mean Christ – the Holy Spirit – actually in you?
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
CHRIST IN YOU!!!!
And you are the devil’s football?
You are mad!
Jesus said. I am the resurrection and the Life.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
He is the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE and as he is so are we in this WORLD!
1Jo 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
By the time I am through with you in this series you will be resurrecting and bringing life to everything that is DEAD around you.
Christianity is about Divinity and SPIRITUALITY and MANIFESTING POWER.
Ro 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
It is futile to talk about a revival of primitive Christianity; you must go forward from where you find yourselves – discover the DIVINITY AND THE POWER IN YOU.
Forget your ngumbah house of a church and taste God.
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2 Timothy 3: 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
The Lord God himself announced the times in which we live and the power bestowed unto us to cope.
Joel 2: 28 And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions.
Two thousand years ago – on the Day of Pentecost - that act was accomplished.
Divinity, which had left Man – was relocated.
Acts 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 day16 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: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Revelations 12: 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
TRAINING IN DIVINITY
The uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of existence do not in any manner contradict who you really are – divinity, divine and the child of God. Iron sharpens iron. The Lord God planned those challenges to sharpen you, to train you to be a God. All evolutionary creature life is beset by certain inevitabilities. Are you a coward? Then you desire courage — strength of character. You must, per force, be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments.
And to build courage and strength into you while dismissing cowardice to its empty nothingness, then you must, per force, need strength in your INNER MAN by the WORD of God though faith. Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
You get this courage and strength, not by your own power and might but by calling upon the name of Jesus. 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. 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.
Are you the egocentric, self-centered type who lacks altruism — service of one’s fellows? Then life experience must provide for encountering situations of social inequality. Do you lack hope - the grandeur of trust - or that ability to trust completely? Then your existence must constantly be confronted with insecurities and recurrent uncertainties. Designed to make you prevail.
Do you lack faith – the ability to be guided by the VOICE of God which is itself the supreme assertion of human thought? Then your mind will find itself in that troublesome predicament where it knows less than it can believe. Until you find faith you cannot please God. Do you hate the truth and the ability to go wherever it leads? Then you will grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood always possible. Do you desire idealism — the approaching concept of the divine? Then you will struggle in an environment of relative goodness and beauty, surroundings stimulative of the irrepressible reach for better things. Do you lack loyalty— devotion to highest duty?
Then your will carry on amid the possibilities of betrayal and desertion; until you learn loyalty with practical details. Remember, the valor of devotion to duty consists in the implied danger of default. Is unselfishness — the spirit of self-forgetfulness — desirable? Then must mortal man live face to face with the incessant clamoring of an inescapable self for recognition and honor.
Man could not dynamically choose the divine life if there were no self-life to forsake. Man could never lay saving hold on righteousness if there were no potential evil to exalt and differentiate the good by contrast. Is pleasure — the satisfaction of happiness — desirable? Then must man live in a world where the alternative of pain and the likelihood of suffering are ever-present experiential possibilities.
Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
The journey is back to the FATHER: from five-senses to multisensory; from ordinary to mystic; from deity and divinity: The journey is from finite to infinite; from TIME to ETERNITY: from body to spirit, from man to God – from carnal to divine in spite of and despite our humanity.
We are evolving from five-sensory humans into multi-sensory or spiritual humans. The Lord God designed our five senses to enable us perceive physical reality. But he also put a spirit part of himself into us to enable us reconnect to a larger, higher dynamic spiritual systems where he operates. There is reality beyond our five senses. Higher life is possible. Divinity in humanity is possible. It takes belief and confession of our belief by faith to get there. It takes wisdom and knowledge and understanding and counsel and stamina and righteousness and the love of God i.e. the Holy Spirit to stay connected to the spiritual realm and stay connected.
See what the Bible says about the matter.
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.
1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
Have you started the journey? Do you know how to start the journey back home?
Read Romans 10:8-13 and do all it says therein. Tell yourself: I am going somewhere. This is not all there is about me!
See something.
Romans 8:9-17 and the emphasis on joint-heir-ship.
Romans 8: 9-17 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 has 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.
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 or eternal death, which do you choose?

Level 5: Truth
TRUTH: God Consciousness
What is truth?
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. 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 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. 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:
Divinity in humanity: The Seven Levels of Spirituality. How spiritual are you? Test yourself.
Level 5: Truth
TRUTH: God Consciousness
What is truth?
Self-consciousness Christ Consciousness and the Consciousness of God
See the truth behind the coming of the Lord Jesus.
John 1: 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.
The Christian is now born of God. How can it be otherwise when the Lord God said, Let us make man in our own image and after our own likeness?
The Christian experience, being essentially spiritual, can never be fully understood by the material mind; hence the function of theology, the psychology of Christianity.
That is why we teach and why we preach.
CHRIST IN YOU!
Romans 10: 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
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:
How can they believe?
Romans 10: 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
The essential doctrine of the human realization of God creates a paradox in finite comprehension. It is well-nigh impossible for human logic and finite reason to harmonize the concept of divine immanence - God within and a part of every individual, with the idea of God’s transcendence, the divine domination of being all in all.
These two essential concepts of Deity must be unified in the faith-grasp of the concept of the transcendence of a personal God and in the realization of the indwelling presence of a fragment of that God in YOU AS YOU FOR YOU in order to justify intelligent worship and validate the hope of personal survival.
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.
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
Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself (HIMSELF) beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children 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.
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 forever.
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.
What is truth?
What is Spirit?
God is a Spirit.
How do you define a spirit?
How do you fathom a spirit?
The experience of God-consciousness remains the same from generation to generation, but with each advancing epoch in human knowledge the philosophic concept and the theological definitions of God must change. God-knowingness, religious consciousness, is a universe reality, but no matter how valid (real) religious experience is, it must be willing to subject itself to intelligent criticism and reasonable philosophic interpretation; it must not seek to be a thing apart in the totality of human experience.
But as many as are led by the SPIRIT, they are the Sons of God.
Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Are you led by the Spirit?
Then do this:
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;

Self-consciousness Christ Consciousness and the Consciousness of God
53 Years Later: Recreating a Community Spirit and an Identity
Dear Mr Edwin Ngang
I write in reaction to your post of yesterday wherein you used words like Pan-Cameroon (an escalation from your usual Pan-Kamerun) and then you bemoaned something I had stated before that our people no longer have a community and an identity: Reason why they cannot express their right to self-determination fully.
In fact, I agree with you totally on the above.
But I believe that a committed person and an activist like you can show leadership by recreating that sense of community and preserving that identity.
One of my Pastors, Dr. Myles Monroe defines leadership as follows: “Leadership is the capacity to influence others through inspiration motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.”
Yes, you can and I will show you how.
I take the calculated risk of making this public because I believe that every Southern Cameroonian at home and abroad should get involved in this. Compatriots, wherever you are, show leadership in this and you would have struck a blow for us all.
Let us start doing this yesterday.
Groups do not matter.
Start this wherever you are and wherever you belong.
Once more: “Leadership is the capacity to influence others through inspiration motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.”
Inventing Southern Cameroons Incorporated.
Start now, start today.
Look around you.
Create a Precinct of Southern Cameroonians.
Every precinct must have 20 members only. And, in the Wide USA you can create as many Precincts as a Mighty One like you can. Initially just get together once a Week to talk, share and discuss as a People. Discuss you country, its future, its problems and its future.
Then do this very essential thing: Elect a Precinct Chairman, a Permanent Secretary a Treasurer and a Financial Secretary.
Start a Microfinance scheme going.
Save $10 per head every week for both the men and women and $5 per head for every child, even the yet-to-be born.
What if you are – and I think you are – this Might One who can create 2000 Precincts in the USA? I repeat every precinct must have only 20 members and hence the saving round can only last 20 weeks.
Move the 21st member into a New Precinct even if Precinct 02 meets in the same place.
This is not a Njangi.
This is buying shares into an Eternal, Undying company called Southern Cameroons Incorporated.
And shares are not to be mismanaged.
80% of the shares belong to the precinct while 20% belong to the state: Call it taxes but these taxes will be managed by the Secretary for the Treasury and the Head of Government Business. We will eventually see if these shares can be bought and sold.
Precincts will eventually be transformed into Local Government Areas and then Counties but we would have started a form of economic emancipation at grassroots. That sense of independence will flow naturally.
We will be shooting many birds with one stone especially capturing hearts. See the principle of capturing hearts: Mt 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Lu 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
I know this for fact. We will have invented for ourselves a strong community, an identity and a sense of A PEOPLE once we have the possible 350.000 precincts available up and working. Mr. Ngang, have you considered how much money we can raise if we have 350.000 precincts at home and in the Diaspora saving maximum $ 10 a week?
That is weekly savings of $3.500.000!
Then we can take care of our business easily.
The State can easily come to the rescue of those in need.
But more importantly, the Head of Government Business can provide very important services to the people.
This is self-government, despite and in spite of the colonizer.
The One Recruit One Formula
Mr. Ngang, the ONE-RECRUIT ONE[1] Formula in Missionary work has been known to evangelize 2.000.000 people in 20 Days. We can pass a message to the population of Southern Cameroons and more in 23 days!
Power Politics, Structural and Cultural Violence, Economic Cleansing
Mr. Ngang, I believe that you are unfair to our people when you bemoan and rather blame them for the effects of a Pan-Kamerun (Cameroun) syndrome rather that understanding how it comes about. The colonizer is now indulging in what I term Power Politics and the subjugation of the Southern Cameroons. Power politics is a form of structural violence. The coloniser also indulges in a form of structural violence called cultural violence.
Structural violence is a term commonly ascribed to Johan Galtung, which he introduced in the article "Violence, Peace, and Peace Research" in 1969.[1] It refers to a form of violence where some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. 'Cultural violence' refers to aspects of culture that can be used to justify or legitimize direct or structural violence, and may be exemplified by religion and ideology, language and art, empirical science and formal science.[3]
Cultural violence makes direct and structural violence look or feel "right," or at least not wrong, according to Galtung.[4]
Wikepedia defines power politics as a state of international relations in which states protect their own interests by threatening potential rivals and insurgents with military, economic, or political aggression.[2]
Power politics is essentially a way of understanding the world of international relations: nations compete for the resources and it is to a nation's advantage to be manifestly able to harm others. It prioritizes national self-interest over the interest of other nations or the international community.
Techniques of power politics include, but are not limited to, outright deployment of troops, appointment of proconsuls, conspicuous nuclear development, pre-emptive strike, blackmail, the massing of military units on a border, the imposition of tariffs or economic sanctions, bait and bleed and bloodletting, hard and soft balancing, buck passing, covert operations, shock and awe, asymmetric warfare.[3]
Extreme power politics can lead to a phenomenon which this study would want to characterize as economic cleansing. Economic cleansing and genocide are articulate warfarist strategies. Their exclusionist and ‘starve-them-to-death-like rats’ modus operandi are common in the theatre where the ‘we versus them’ groundswells in individual and group interactions are never managed through free and fair democratic competition, the respect of social justice, and the general live-and-let-live but rather through a modern form of Social Darwinism – the survival of the fittest. The fittest herein is defined as the group or aggregate, which through subterfuge, unbelievable luck or by sheer force, is able to hijack a state and hence control all resources, events, outcomes and influence.
The Francophonizing Agenda
Every time the colonizer creates a new law affecting Southern Cameroonians, his intention is not to provide services but to colonize and dismantle that sense of identity and community extant in the Southern Cameroons since 1922.
Take an example. When you scrap the Southern Cameroons Parliament in Buea you are actually saying that henceforth look up to the National Assembly in Yaounde. When you scrap Powercam, you cause our children most of whom were born after 1961 to start talking about SONEL. When they sneak francophonie values into our education system, they cause our children to be frogs.
There is nothing stealthy about the motives and mores of the Francophonie. The Francophonie is an overt warfariest agenda. The Francophonie was invented to expand the influence of France and French worldwide. At the expense of English and Anglo-Saxon values.
In Cameroun, the main agenda of the Francophonie is to francophonize Southern Cameroonians. Listen to this, chutzpah from a francophone minister, a certain Hamadou Moustapha, former Vice -Prime Minister In charge of Housing and Town Planning, in Jeune Afrique Economie, 207, 20 Nov 1995 page 3:
‘A un moment donné' effectivement, on a commencé à oublier que les anglophones étaient la, on a eu l’impression que les anglophones s'étaient déjà francophonisés"
Or for a spell we almost forgot that the anglophones were here, we had the impression that they had been francophonized.
Mr. Ngang, it is today so bad that you cannot create an All-Southern Cameroonian business. The will move in an either insist that you make a francophone a shareholder or they tax you out of existence. This has forced our people to bend over backwards to be snookered in the rear by francophones.
Hannah Arendt’s observation that: “The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions, but to destroy the capacity to form any,” can be applied here to mean that the agenda of the Francophonie has never been to foster English and Anglo-Saxon values but to efface even the little available.
A people without a state in quest of a state
Mr. Ngang, we can beat the system.
We must recreate the idea of a community, an identity and a nation. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome says ‘the purpose of a nation – every nation - is the realization of human aspirations. It is in pursuance of man’s dreams and desires for happiness, prosperity, self-expression, ecological development, self-fulfillment; his unsearchable and unending desire for self-discovery and the maximization of man’s intellectual, physical and spiritual abilities,’ that agglomerates of people – yesterday, today and tomorrow established nations among themselves. Man cannot achieve all his aspirations in isolation but in his relationship with like-minded creatures.’
Like-minded creatures.
The Southern Cameroonian like-mindedness is conferred upon us by what Ernst Renan argued to be the most important element in a modern nation: a communal imagined past. Ernst Renan – a Frenchman, for God’s sake - was the also the first to relate the continuum between nations, their history, nationalism and the will to live together. Renan’s anchor on nationhood as being based on the ‘will to live together’ as delivered in the Sorbonne in 1882 remains unchallenged to date.
The anglophone-francophone experiment in nation-building has failed. It was a non-starter: dead at inception. Because there is no likemindedness. Because there is no will to live together. Because the other side remains dubious and hell-bent on annexation, subjugation, assimilation and colonization.
Per Pastor Oyakilome, the purpose of a state – any state – ‘is to provide and establish justice, domestic tranquility, and common defense; promote general welfare and secure postulated ethnicity. The state is to enact laws and provide force to ensure that defined limits that are not exceeded.’
The neo-colonial governing contraption existing in Cameroun since 1960 vindicates all the paradigms of Bertrand de Jouvenel and Oppenheimer’s codification of a state as “a sociological concept.” The state, completely in its genesis . . . is a social institution, forced by a victorious group of men on a defeated group, with the sole purpose of regulating the dominion of the victorious group and securing itself against revolt from within and attacks from abroad. As a result the new states are forced to organize on military principles. The life of the state is regimented allegiance. The military by nature is competitive; hence the state thrives on competition. Teleological, this competition and ensuing dominion had no other purpose than the economic exploitation of the vanquished by the victors. [i]
Historically speaking therefore there is not the slightest difficulty in proving that all contemporary political communities (states etc) owe their existence to successful warfare.
And de Jouvenel continues, "The state is in essence the result of the successes achieved by a band of brigands who superimpose themselves on small, distinct societies." The brigands, by necessity invent for themselves a head brigand (the Chef or Patron) and exercise power at the central government because they have the elements of constraint (army, navy, gendarmerie, airforce, police, secret service, DGRE, etc.) to do their bidding. Political power grows from the barrel of a gun said Mao Tse Tung.
We are a people without a state in search of a state and we must find that state while preserving whatsoever remains of our community, our identity and our peopleness.
Why must we do this thing?
Because we are like-minded creatures.
Because we are Men of Honour.
Men of Honour do not fail.
Men of Honour do not hand down to their children a small matter that they can resolve themselves.
Let’s do this.
