Supernatural Believing Christ Conscious (7 page)

The physical body is a reflection of the spiritual man and although the brain and mind are similar in functions, the results are different. The mind was designed to operate in conjunction with the Spirit of God via the converted heart and soul.

The soul, in the hands of the devil, will create fear, unbelief and doubt on a regular basis. The mind will reproduce these images in the brain and eventually destroy the body.
Our souls must have the consciousness of Christ in order to control our mind’s activity.

For if men are controlled by their earthly natures, they give their minds to earthly things.

If they are controlled by their spiritual natures, they give their minds to spiritual things; because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.

Abandonment to earthly things is a state of enmity to God. Such a mind does not submit to God’s Law, and indeed cannot do so. And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.

Romans 8:5–7 WEY

The general consensus in the world today is all of man’s problems will be solved through the intellect of science. Therefore, the media and intellectuals go to great lengths to eliminate God as the omnipotent creator and the only solution for mankind.

In other words, man says, “I will make my own choice and be my own god.”

The truth is, science has never created laws that govern our universe. They only discover the principles God uses to keep it in order.

Moreover, anyone whose primary concern is self-survival is frightened by the thought of not being in control. Herein, lies the principal reason that man refuses to believe he does not have all the answers.

Man will believe the lies from the one who wants to destroy him but refuse to believe the truth from the One who died to give him that choice.

The mind believes the information it is trained to trust. It does not matter if it is correct or false data.

For example, if you are color blind, meaning you are unable to tell the difference between red and brown, your mind will interpret the data and convince you of the validity.

Therefore, if the Holy Ghost joins our souls to Christ, our mind will be a creative force to influence the world for Christ.

Nevertheless, if the soul has not been transformed, it will create chaos and division.

Think about it for a minute. Most information we hear or see describes or depicts disaster and death. If the mind feeds on images and sounds of that nature, it will desire those sensations and even crave stronger stimulation. This is why motion pictures are increasingly more violent and vulgar.

The mind is the devil’s chalkboard. He uses pictures, sounds and impressions in ways to frighten, stimulate and control the heart and soul of man. One reason we are afraid is that we are trained to believe lies.

If we continually hear about a strain of flu that threatens to infect the whole world, we become frightened.
The fear ultimately becomes an image in our minds, manifesting the symptoms in our bodies.

The reason man sins are the same reason we become sick. We surrender to the suggestion of the devil.
The thought takes root in the heart, usually through fear, and manifests in the body.

In my opinion, the result of a heart, soul and mind filled with the love and knowledge of Christ is a consciousness or intelligence that will remain after death.

The mind of Christ is the eternal overcomer of death. I am not speaking about the physical body, I am talking about a mind whose spirit has been changed to think and believe as Christ.

If Jesus is capable of understanding our feelings because He can remember what it is like to be tempted and not sin (Hebrews 4:15), then I believe we experience the same victory.

Why was it possible for Jesus to go into hell and recover all that was stolen from Adam?

I believe it was because His consciousness encompassed the grave. The purpose in speaking about this subject is to challenge the way we perceive our lives as Christians.

The popular notion that everything will be done for us after death or that we have to wait that Jesus returns to overcome, is a lie from the devil.

The authority of the Christ consciousness is to be achieved now, not after we die. The consciousness Jesus possesses goes beyond this life and grave. Our spirit connected with His Spirit will reveal unspeakable treasures.

I think this is what Paul is alluding to as he describes Jesus in the following scriptures.

And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there arises another priest, who has been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

Hebrews 7:15-16 AKJV

Therefore then, since
we are
surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…

Hebrews 12:1 AMP

I believe those whose souls and spirits united in Christ will experience heaven many times before their physical death. The purposes for these experiences are to form a belief capable of ruling and reigning for the ages to come.

My reason for mentioning this is to challenge all our belief systems and shift our paradigms. I am being stretched out of my comfort zones to explore the Bible as never before.

If we approach the scriptures with a pure heart to see God and are not motivated by any other reason than knowing the Father the way Jesus did, the Holy Spirit will protect you from going astray. Problems will always remain for those whose goals are not pure.

Each time the Lord has allowed me to visit Him in heaven; my mind has been altered to understand His Word in a deeper way.

There was a time when the Lord took me to heaven and I heard Him repeat what He said in Matthew 8:22, “Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.”

Immediately, I observed people, who appeared dead, walking with a dark shroud over their eyes. They were attempting to remove the veil, very oblivious to others standing around them who were shining like light. Upon closer investigation, I could see that some of the people shining resembled my mental picture on the mountain of transfiguration. The Spirit reminded me that Jesus was able to see and talk with Elijah and Moses during that encounter.

I began to meditate on that experience, and I truly believe Jesus was allowing me to see an example of intelligence after death. Moses had asked God to see His glory. That desire had so consumed Moses that God resurrected him from the bosom of Abraham to fulfill his heart’s desire in the person of Jesus.

The thoughts and desires originating from the Spirit will leave an everlasting imprint even on the physical body. The power of the spiritual realm is visible via the heart and mind.

And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet

2 Kings 13:21 KJ

The body is controlled by the mind. The question becomes how much of our mind is controlled by Christ? The answer determines the level of health we posses.

The body itself cannot make the decision to sin; it’s in the soul where evil is conceived.

Flee from fornication. Any other sin that a human being commits lies outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

1 Corinthians 6:18 WEY

The body was created to obey God via the mind, soul and heart. Once the Holy Spirit is in control, every disease and sickness will disappear. Jesus showed us the greatest example of a body so filled with God’s glory that even His clothes shone on the mount of Transfiguration.

And he said to them, “I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”

After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.

Mark 9:1-3 NIV

Jesus told His disciples only a few would see the power of the kingdom before their physical death. He proceeded to take three disciples to the mountaintop to show them He is the kingdom, power and glory.

Moses and Elijah appeared representing the law and prophets to signify Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Covenant.

Jesus shines brighter than the noonday sun, demonstrating in Him is heavenly Jerusalem spoken of in Revelation.

And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon to give light to it, for the splendor and radiance (glory) of God illuminate it, and the Lamb is its lamp.

Revelation 21:23 AMP

This picture of Jesus overflowing with the Holy Ghost in every center of His being should be every heart’s desire. The Holy Spirit must have complete and unhindered access to the heart, soul, mind and body.

This manifestation is not only available to those who desire Him but also is a requirement for those who want to believe as He does.

There is no shadow in this glory; shadows are the places of doubt and unbelief. Beyond all words and miracles, Jesus showed Peter, James and John the way to become victorious over everything on earth.

In essence, God poured Himself into the sanctified container,

Jesus. Sanctifying the container is a job for the Holy Spirit, but it requires our death in every area of our being.

His Father validates the power of this picture when He says,
“Hear him.”
In other words, if you want to be thoroughly transformed and transfigured, listen only to Him.
The power resides in His words.

Jesus gives us the key to reach this level when He speaks about the two greatest commandments.

And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him,
You are not far from the kingdom of God.
And no man after that dared ask him any question.

Mark 12:31-34 AKJV

He was not far from the kingdom because Jesus had not yet defeated death. But the man recognized his triune being needed sanctification and love was the demonstration of that, first to God and then his neighbor.

LOVE THE FORCE THAT UNITES

Love is the power the Holy Spirit uses to start the transformation. First, love invades our spirit to change our stony hearts into flesh, and then leads us through sanctification of the soul and mind, with the eventual healing of our bodies.

This magnificent process establishes our relationship with the Father. But it does not stop with us; it never does. We must love our neighbor with the same enthusiasm that the Holy Ghost has loved us. Our relationship with the Father carries a demand, that we be responsible for others.

But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my
neighbour?

And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.

And it chanced, that a certain
priest
went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.

But a certain
Samaritan
being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion. And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.

Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers? But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.

Luke 10:29-37 DRB

The religious men illustrated through this parable never impressed Jesus. The Samaritans were people with whom the Jews did not even associate. Yet, he was more righteous than those who supposedly lived by the law. Jesus was demonstrating
love transcends laws and unites bringing His Father’s kingdom.

Man must be redeemed in every part of his spirit, soul and body in order to believe like Jesus. Our reality must be that of the kingdom of God.

The goal of the Holy Spirit is to completely transform us into the likeness of Christ, who is the kingdom of God.

If you are not experiencing the supernatural life of the kingdom in each center of your being, then I want to pray with you.

Holy Spirit, the same way you opened my eyes to the truth of your glorious purification process in every area of my being, I am asking you to do the same for the person praying this prayer. Even now, Lord quicken his (her) spirit to the truth of who you are. Lord, you are so precious, and I humbly ask you to touch this dear person right where he (she) is, this instant. Thank you Jesus, Amen.

TRUE CHRISTIANITY

THE VISIBLE TRANSFORMATION OF MAN

Most of my adult life has been in the pursuit of Christ. I have heard different doctrines and beliefs from many Christians. The most outstanding to me is the number of “prophetic” doctrines focused on future events for the Church. My purpose is not to dispute the doctrines, but to reposition our focus.

The Church appears to have been lulled to sleep with the promise of power in the future. Nevertheless, my study of the scriptures reveals the power and promises have already been released.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

John 5:25 KJ

Now is
the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

John 12:31 KJ

Indeed, the time is coming, and
it is now here,
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. The Father is looking for people like that to worship him.

John 4:23 KJ

These scriptures reveal God looking for worshippers now, everlasting life, and power over the devil. The overcoming power we are expecting has been released through Christ.

The reality is most of the church is more comfortable waiting for something to happen because they have not been taught to access the Holy Spirit. Therefore, they would rather believe doctrines instead of walking in the spirit and trusting what they cannot see.

They will appear to have a godly life, but they will not let its power change them. Stay away from such people.

2 Timothy 3:5 GW

Our time demands a new generation to arise and take the lead. The Joshua’s and Caleb’s must leave those who will die in the wilderness and sound the alarm to those who know their Lord. We are at war, but just as in Jesus’ day, the worst enemies are the doctrines of religion.

Certainly many churches and leaders are speaking out. Nevertheless
most of the world believes Christianity is just another philosophy or religion to help society be moral.

Jesus did not only come to save souls but to save men in their totality.

He came to rescue our bodies, hearts, minds, souls and spirits.

The message of the kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy.

The purpose of God through Christ is not morality but immortality, men transfigured, transformed and transmuted in the substance and likeness of Jesus.

A definition of transmuted is to change or alter in form, appearance or nature to a higher form. Jesus believed this way in order to be like His Father.

If our lives are to be transformed, we must demonstrate righteousness in our spirits, peace and joy in our souls and healthy bodies. Therefore, at all cost we must become in all aspects like Jesus Christ.

If our belief remains in a future event to change us the life we lead on earth is founded on a philosophy.
