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?

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