Hello All,

*AngelYellow*
Blessings!

{PREFACE} I trust you all are having a wonderful Sunday in the Lord and the Lord's many blessings overtake you all of the time. The article that follows might overwhelm you at first, but I believe it is a truthful acount of those great things the gospel says to us and about us. Unfortunately for us the great revelation Word of God is here a little and there a little in the New Testament. Such often leaves us confused and wondering because there seems to be so many contradictions. Even worse, without our Lord's revelation, we, even though we have been born again of the Spirit, tend to misinterpret what is being said to us. The Epistles seem vague and distant from our understanding because we lack the experiences needed to confirm the Apostles teachings to us. This often leads to an even greater error which is to focus too much on the Four Gospels and too little on The Epistles. What I present here today simplifies the general message of the Epistiles. I thank God and give Him all the glory for this message which will benefit you greatly when you are get ahold of it and walk in it.

What we need to understand is that at the center of the Four Gospels is our Lord's crucifixion. All the teachings and prophecies and fulfilling of prophecies before our Lord went to the Cross are valuable only if we walk in the understanding of them and do what He has said to us. (But such avails nothing if we have not been born again of the Spirit). Christianity did not exist until Jesus paid our penalty on the Cross. That was the beginning of Christianty. His death for us was our death in Him. His resurrection for us was our resurrection in Him.

Rom.6

[3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also be raised in the likeness of his resurrection:


Walking in the Spirit

Good day to you all! I hope this teaching finds you happy and full of life, looking upward for the joy which is to come.

Gal.5

[25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Walking in the spirit is not the unknowable life that many of our day think it is. Walking in the Spirit comes to us supernaturally once we understand who we have been made in Christ Jesus. Believing and accepting who we have been made in Christ Jesus is the difficult part. Most are never taught about our our unique oneness with God in Christ Jesus. Walking in the Spirit is easy once we understand who we are in Him. Such knowledge is not hidden from those who would believe it. Such knowledge is all over the New Testament. We will refer to some of that knowledge today that we might learn more about walking in the Spirit.

Rom.8

[9] But we are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in us. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Do we have the Spirit of Christ in us today? If we do, shouldn’t we know it? Of course!

The message of Christianity is the most startling and incredible truth ever published on this planet. All nations stand in awe of the Bible and its many incredible stories, but the message of Christianity is by far God's greatest of truths. Through the resurrection of our Lord and Savior from the dead, a new species of man was born. This new species was created a living Spirit inside a sinless physical body. This God man Spirit with a Holy sinless body contained the great power of God, the great mind of God, and the great love of God. This God man was God’s greatest of miracles. God named this new species God man, Jesus, and crowned Him with honor and glory. This new God man became the King and Priest of the new species that God made. That new species was named after the first God man. They were called Jesus when they were born from the dead as this Jesus was. Those that came from His loins were given His Spiritual power, His Spiritual love, and His Spiritual mind.

But this new species of God man would not know of whom and what He was made of when first born. These God men and women would be born babies like Adam man, but not of the Adam flesh, but of the Jesus Spirit. This new species called Jesus would not know they came from the first God man until they began to feel the stirrings of the God man Jesus in them. Soon afterward they would find His love in them, His power in them, and His mind in them. After this they would grow and grow and grow in the life of the first God man until they became like Him. At this time they would learn of the first God man’s Father. They would understand that this Father God of the first God man was their Father as well. This Father God would come to them and place His supernatural life of love in them. Then all the new God men and God women would know God and have His everlasting love life in them.

This everlasting love life would grow and grow in the new God men and women until they became perfect and one with the first God man Jesus in the love of their Father. All fear of their Father God left them when they became one with Jesus in the love of their Father God. They realized that coming from the loins of the first God man Jesus placed them in Him and if they would walk in their Jesus covering they would be the same as Jesus in the presence of their Father. They came to know that with this first Jesus Spirit clothing on them they were not as Adam man, naked before their Father God. They were clothed with the first God man’s clothes and discovered they could come and go in the presence of their Father without fear as long as they walked in the new Christ love Spirit new species life on them and in them. They all put on their new God man life Jesus Spirit each morning. And each day and night they walked in the light of their life in the new species God man Jesus, and their Father God was well pleased with all of them.

All this happened because in the beginning they all began walking by faith. They walked by faith knowing that as Adam man grew up to be like the first Earth man Adam, so they would grow up to be like the first new species Spirit God man Jesus. This was expected by God their Father. These new God men and women loved their King Lord God man Jesus and their Heavenly Father and they lived to reign with Him as one in Him and their Father forever and forevermore.

These are they that have received the eternal life of the Father by living and walking in the Spirit of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They received eternal life when they came to know the love of the Father in them. To know the Love of the Father is to have everlasting life. To have everlasting life, one must walk in the Spirit of the Love of God. We begin to walk in the Spirit of the Love of God when God our Father comes to us and places His love in us.

Rom.8
[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We all have access to God Almighty through Jesus His first born Son from the dead. We all have the same access to God the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord, for in Him, we are Him. There is no condemnation for us if we walk in the spirit of life which Jesus has given us. We are in Him and He is in us. And we must see ourselves walking in Christ daily. Unfortunately most that call themselves Christians are only content to see themselves in their physical body and often yield to its desires. Yielding to the desires of our physical body may make us incapable of knowing about our Spiritual life, and hinder us from doing the most basic of Christian things. The tragedy of this is that the whole world is watching us.

My primary care physician is Hindu. She has watched us. (I have withheld her name as she wishes to remain anonymous). Toward the end of our check up with her this past week we asked her what she thought of Christianity. She wasn't hesitant to answer. "I began my schooling in a convent," she said. "So I have an understanding of Christianity. But as to whether Jesus Christ was the Son of God, I do not know. He could have been I suppose. The problem with Christianity is that so many have a good beginning and then quit doing what is good. I think the message of Christianity that we should do what is good to others because that is what we wish others to do to us is a great teaching. Such a teaching should be at the heart of all religions, but many say, but do not do.”

Such begs the question. “Why don’t we do what is good to others?” Isn’t it because we have refused to believe that which Jesus has said to us, and Paul, and Peter, and John, etc.? If we refuse to believe all that they have said to us, how then is it that we live in the Spirit?

Paul says to us that we might have a problem.

1Cor.3

[3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?


We must believe what God has said to us in the New Testament about Spiritual life. If we do not such unbelief will keep us from the life of God living within us, and if His life is not in us, how then dare we say we are Christians? If we reject the Spiritual love life of God living in us, we reject salvation. We are not a new species. We are not alive to God. We walk in death.

Heb.2

[3] How shall we escape (death), if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him?

So let us now determine what so great a salvation is. If we are willing to believe, see, and understand we will seek and we will find it.


Some of our favorite passages of the Bible are found in the gospel of John beginning in chapter 14 and ending in chapter 17. For it is in these chapters that the Spiritual life of God is first presented to us. As our Heavenly Father was alive in Jesus, we are taught that Jesus must be alive in us. We are called to be one in Christ Jesus with the Father. This is the greatness of salvation, that we should be one with the Father and the Son.

This is what Jesus said to us.

John.17

[11] And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
[12] While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
[13] And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
[14] I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

(We are of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, the Kingdom of God our FATHER.)


[18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
[19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

[quoteNeither 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.

[22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
[23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.[/quote]
[24] Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
[25] O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
[26] And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
This is what the Apostle Paul has said to us.

Phil.2
[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
(Being one with the Father and the Son is to obey the Holy Spirit of the Son in us and walk in the love of our Father that was and is in His Holy Son Jesus.)
[7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
[8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

We should all choose to be of the Sons and Daughters of God through the Holy Spirit that Jesus has given us which is of Himself. We should seek to become of the Jesus new species God men and women.

We error greatly in our soul if we turn down the life of the Holy Spirit of the new species God man Jesus our Lord living within us. For it is only through His living in us and us in Him that we have our life in the Spirit. When we see, know, and understand that the life of God in Christ is in us, we will begin to walk in the oneness of our Spirit with God and obey His leadings. We then have become of God’s Sons and Daughters, joint heirs with Jesus in whom we live and have our being. We have been made God-men and women, Sons and Daughters of the Most High, a new species born of the incorruptible Word Seed of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We have been made trees of righteousness, the planting of our Lord.

Let us seek to live in the Spirit that we may walk in the Spirit.
