THE ESSENCE OF DOING GOD'S WORD

THE ESSENCE OF DOING GOD'S WORD

When you receive God’s Word, you receive the ability to see the substance of whatever the word talks about through visions and hear about it through your spiritual ears; whatever you’re hearing from God is the seed to develop in you the ability to experience with your spiritual body what it talks about in the spiritual world. For example, when we preach and teach divine healing, the hearer should use that word to see the spirituality of his physical body being perfectly well through visions . And what he has seen becomes his meditation and confession, hence, it doesn't take long before he begins to experience the spiritual tangibility of what he has seen to the point that the condition of healing materialises to his physical body. However, this principle works more effectively for you when you begin learning to apply it to people's lives in the spiritual world.

Ephesians 1:17 states that, "[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,"

'Revelation' in the foregoing verse is the Greek word, “apokalupsis,” which means an unveiling of the spiritual world through your spiritual senses and spiritual sensations. “Knowledge”; on the other hand, is the Greek word, “epignosis,” which means a full discernment of invisible realities and an accurate knowledge of God.

This kind of knowledge that we are dealing with here, isn’t dealing with the physical world or the world of science (Greek: “Gnosis”) but with the spiritual world through your spiritual senses and spiritual sensations. This type of knowledge isn’t just something you acquire from reading the scriptures only; it’s a revelation of what is in the spiritual world that is related to the respective scriptures. A part of it is already given to you in the scriptures, while the rest of it is by relating with what is in the spiritual world through the teaching and training ministry of the HolySpirit of love; all in consistency with the Word.

Galatians 2:20 states that, "

[20]I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me."

Hence, 2 Corinthians 3:17 states that,

"[17]Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). [Isa. 61:1, 2.]"

Based on the above scripture, then we can as well say from our opening scripture that, 'I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but the Spirit lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by the faith of the HolySpirit'.

This is important to be conscious about because Jesus is actually in heaven in bodily form, but He lives through us by His Spirit.

In classical English, whenever a pronoun follows a linking verb such as 'I', then the pronoun has to be in the subject case. We call that a nominative. Linking verbs are words such as I, is, was, were, seem and appear. These do not describe an action so much as they describe a state of being.

And so when Paul said, ".....it is not I who live, but Christ lives in me....", he was not referring to a state of action but a state of being.  It means it is not your spirit self that lives, but His Spirit self lives through your spirit self in an inseperable manner such that your spirit cannot be told from Him. He is identified with you. This is the same union the Father, the Son and the HolySpirit have as one God. John 1:16 states that, "......of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace". In John 17:19-21, Jesus prayed for us thus, ".....That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us....." This prayer was fulfilled when the HolySpirit came to live in us.

And also, whenever a pronoun follows a non-active verb, then we have to use subject pronouns. Subject pronouns are he, they, I and we.

The Merriam Webster dictionary of English concurs that it is formal to say "It is I", than it is to say "It is me". So, "It is me" is a casual way of speaking English. But, "It is I" is a formal way of speaking English, because it is I describes a state of being rather than a condition of action. Is is actually pointing to the doer of the deed, who has been caused by the HolySpirit to do the deed.

So Jesus was spiritually grammatically correct when He said to the disciples in John 6:20 that, "[20]........It is I; be not afraid! [I AM; stop being frightened!] [Exod. 3:14.]"

No wonder, Jesus said in John 14:10 that, "[10]Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the (His) works (His own miracles, deeds of power)."

When He said in the verse above, "......the Father Who lives continually in Me does the (His) works......." He was referring to the HolySpirit, because the HolySpirit is the Spirit of His Father in heaven. He is not just an influence or a mysterious wind as some people think. He is the Father that lives in us!

It's the Father's grand design for Him to need our spirit just as we need His Spirit. He relates in us with the life of the spiritual world by talking through our spiritual mouth, see the spiritual world through our spiritual eyes, hear things in the spiritual world through our spiritual ears, taste through our spiritual tongue, smell through our spiritual nose, think through the minds of our spirits, feel through our spiritual sensations and walk through our spiritual legs.Without your spirit, He can't live through your physical body to reach the hurting, the lost in the world and those who are spiritually limited. Through you, He's able to express His love from the spiritual dimension to others on a daily basis and establish His kingdom in the hearts of men. You're His extension here on earth because you hail from Him (1 John 4:4).

You've been literally mingled with the Spirit of love as one divine creation; the new creation in Christ Jesus.

Doing the Word of God should be natural for you as a Christian, because it is not your spirit self that lives, but the HolySpirit of love through your spirit. That means you have the faith of the HolySpirit that He uses to live through you, which is therefore your ability to do the Word. The HolySpirit of love is the personality and the spirithood of your spirit because you have become one spirit with Him(1Corinthians 6:17).

Where some Christians have a problem is that they don’t know how to do the Word. Some think that doing the Word means “obeying” the Word, no; both thoughts may sound similar, but they’re very different. In the Old Testament, they were told to obey the Word of God. In the New Testament, we don’t obey the Word of God; we do the Word of God! In the Old Testament, the Word was to them an outside force. This means God's Spirit had live with them and respond to His word from the outside. They were the ones to obey the word so that the HolySpirit can do something in response to their obedience. In the New Testament, it’s an inside force. This means the HolySpirit of love lives in us and responds to His word through us. We’re born of God's Spirit, and are thus, one spirit with Him.

For example;

There's a time while sleeping, I got out of my physical body, and Love(God) took me to a large facility that some angels use to deal with educational matters in the physical world. This was actually the third time the Spirit of love took me there, and every time I got in the building, there was a specific part of the floor that I had to step on and wait for Love(God) to make it carry me down to the basement. Then when I get to the basement, there was an outward force(power) of Love(God) that had to make me pass through a wall to the next room.

But this time things were different. When I got into the building and stepped on the part of the floor that carries me down to the basement, that part of the floor didn't move at all, because there was no an outward force of Love(God) to make it happen. Instead, God trained me to use my faith to make that part of the floor go down by simply believing that it is carrying me down after I have stepped on it, and immediately, that part moved and carried me all the way to the basement. This means the Spirit of love was making it happen from inside me. I didn't have to wait for Him to do it from the outside because He chose to do it through me. He also trained me to penetrate through walls by simply using my faith to penetrate through rather than waiting for His outward force to make me penetrate through. I learnt however that faith begins to do big things in the spiritual world, and as you do them frequently, that ability materialises to the things of the physical world.

You’ll only have to obey the Word if you don't have the HolySpirit living through you.

The blessing is in learning how to let the Spirit of love respond to His Word through you, and not just hearing or believing it. The creative power of the Word becomes effective once ignited by your faith-response from the HolySpirit of love, bringing about a transformation in your spirit, from faith to faith.
