I would like to introduce you to someone who lives with you every day.
 
“Oh, I know the LORD already. He’ll never leave me nor forsake me.”
 
PART ONE
Yes, the Spirit of the LORD came to live in you. But there’s someone else that is hidden and sometimes isolated, disconnected from participating in your day to day living — the newly created man who is born from above. He is new!
 
Did you know that you were born of a seed?
 
“You mean like how I was born of my Mom and Dad?”
Yes, that seed produced a body that is designed to live only on this planet.
 
But that earthly seed did not make you alive unto your Creator, the maker of Heaven and Earth. There’s only way to be born of God’s seed. (See Romans 10:8-10)
 
“... having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever ...” (1 Peter 1:23)
“... who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:13)
 
Your spirit was not made alive until it was quickened by the seed (life) of God. The DNA of God resides within you. “Christ in you the hope of glory!” (Colossians 1:27)
 
YOU ARE A SPIRIT
YOU HAVE A SOUL
YOU LIVE IN A BODY

Your mother and father had to be joined together in order to produce life, right?
 
What about your spirit?  
When you heard the gospel preached, your will embraced the breath of God which entered into you through grace and faith. Life ... made alive that which previously did not exist. (Read Ephesians 2:4-10 & 2 Corinthians 5:17)
 
Your first birth was made from corruptible seed that was stained by the sin of Adam.
Your second birth came forth from an incorruptible seed, God’s Word.
 
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
(John 6:63)
 
Your Bible is a spiritual container of life-breathed words only understood by those whose spirit is connected to their Creator. Jesus said, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24)   
 
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, (God-breathed) and is profitable for
doctrine,
for reproof,
for correction,
for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
(2 Timothy 3:16-17) See also the Amplified Version.
 
PART TWO
“The kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
 
Two births, two natures!
We are unusual people, we Christians. We are citizens of the nation we live in, but more importantly, citizens of the Kingdom of God. (Philippians 3:20) We’re called out to be Ambassadors of that kingdom.
 
Jesus said, “I send you out as sheep amidst wolves,” yet we’re asked to love those who persecute us and to pray for them. And we’re asked to witness to them and to disciple them.
 
The Call of God
What we accomplish here will influence our eternal life and rewards.
“But hold fast what you have till I come. And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— ...” (Revelation 2:25-26)
 
The Assignment
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature ...cast out demons...speak with new tongues...lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” (See Mark 16:14-20)
 
The transformation of the nations has not taken place as it should because so many in The Church don’t know who they are, the spiritual authority they have been given, or what they’re ministry is.
 
Even those who have some knowledge of these things don’t believe in the mighty power of God, or in other words, don’t believe that what God said in scripture is for them. Many all over the world attend church services every week, listening to a watered-down gospel and teachings that are corrupted with the religious traditions of men.
 
Whatever happened to, “If God said it, I believe it; that settles it!”
 
PART THREE
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
 
Eating the Bread that Came Down From Heaven   John 6:41
Just as your natural body requires healthy food that comes from the earth, your spirit or "the hidden man of the heart" (1 Peter 3:4) ... requires healthy, spiritual faith-food that came out of God when it was spoken and then written.
 
Spirit-man receives his food, not with a fork and knife, but his food (scripture) is received as it enters the eye gate (reading), and also the ear gate — as “faith comes by hearing.” That’s why ministers encourage us to read the Bible out loud during study time. This process nourishes and strengthens the spirit of man, yes, like Superman, to be a mighty force for God’s kingdom on earth. Although the kingdom of darkness is against this, the new creation Christ-centered man is well equipped with supernatural weapons that will overcome the enemy.

Yet, we need to be aware of his strategies ...

THE CONSEQUENCES OF EATING A BAD DIET
Have you ever been listening to a minister teaching on God’s Word and then hear him try to qualify what the scripture really means by making comments about why you should not really believe whole-heartedly what it says? After all, we don’t want you to be disappointed if it doesn’t come to pass! This is evil and kills faith before it's even birthed!
 
Years ago, I attended a large conference and one of the classes I chose had a minister who was teaching us that some of the stories in the Old Testament were just fables handed down from one generation to the next. You would think Christians would have walked out of the room, but I was the only one who left. Why would I want lies going into my ears and heart?  
 
Of course this is a more blatant example of religious tradition. Other times the devil is more subtle when trying to inject the venom of doubt into scripture. It’s nothing new.

Isn’t that what he used in the garden when he said to Eve, “Did God really say?”
 
Perversion of truth is prevalent in our society these days but is also permeating our churches and on the Christian airways. Those who don’t know their Bible receive this error as if it were truth.

A continual diet of that will weaken and subdue your spirit-man to be led about by feelings: up one day, down the next, always seeking help from man. This does not please God.

Why? Because you have the dunamis of God, His Holy Spirit abiding in your spirit. He must have the preeminence so that we can accomplish the greater works in our day. Don’t let anyone steal who God made you to be!
 
Jesus was angry with the religious leaders of His day.
“Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
(Matthew 15:6-9)

Mixing the Holy Scripture with words of doubt will pollute the seed!
Every failure of scripture not coming to pass is because of seeds that were corrupted by what we or someone else said that caused the circumstances to seem to be far more powerful in our eyes than God’s Word.

It is written...means it is established! What is established will accomplish the end result. “Forever LORD Your word is settled in heaven.” (Psalm 119:89)

Don’t Mix the Seed
  • “You shall keep My statutes.
  • You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind.
  • You shall not sow your field with mixed seed.
  • Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you.” (Leviticus 19:19)
 
“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” (Ezekiel 44:23)
 
THE END DAYS CHURCH
“LORD, please send revival! Bring the miracles and signs and wonders in our day.”
 
If The Church is going to go to another level we’re going to have to change our diet! Good healthy food that is pure truth is spiritual substance that is attained by revelation knowledge given by the Holy Spirit of Truth. This strengthens and empowers your inner man.

“You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” (1 John 2:20) It's the anointing that destroys yokes and removes bondage. (Acts 10:38)
 
“A wise man is strong,
Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength...”
(Proverbs 24:5)

You can soar like an eagle and dominate the heavens or peck around on the dirt like a chicken always seeking something else to eat. The choice is yours. Just remember, the world is waiting to see the Kingdom of God revealed! 

Your prayer time:
Read/study scripture, then pray/sing in tongues awhile. Worship God. This will allow spirit-man to rise up and release God's Spirit to do great exploits when you begin praying! (Daniel 11:32) Let Holy Spirit lead you! That's how you follow Jesus into doing the greater works...even in your prayer closet!

 CLOSING COMMENTS
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to alert you when scripture is being compromised.
  • Realize the thief is trying to steal your inheritance as God’s child.
  • Guard your heart. Change the channel when someone is teaching error.
  • If you know who you are in Christ, the deceiver cannot steal your identity.
  • Understand fully that your identity in Christ is far greater than who you see in the mirror everyday.
  • Jesus used scripture against the lies. We must do the same to overcome. (Matthew 4:1-11)
  • “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.” (Romans 8:14)
  • Let spirit-man rise up and crucify the flesh or the flesh will subdue your spirit.
  • Read Galatians Chapter five.
 
"Well, what about revival..."
Jesus is cleansing His church of spots, wrinkles, and blemishes by the washing of water by the Word, that she should be holy. When you know company is coming to visit, what do you do? Clean the house!
 
Suggested Assignment
Are you having trouble hearing from God and making decisions? Whether you are a new Christian or a Believer who has been walking with the LORD for many years, a refresher class on how to be led by the Spirit is always good.

We have a  resource called... The Sword!
This is a list of scriptures and positive confessions I have been collecting over the last few years. I know you'll be strengthened because they build faith.

Dear Saints Who Pray,
Do you have a journal?
 
Many years ago I heard a teaching by Lynn Hammond about how important it is to have a prayer journal. Lynn is an author and intercessor. She and her husband Mac started Living Word Christian Center in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota many years ago.
 
I noticed my journals have changed over the past thirty-five years, but still contain heart secrets from my Father. They are also used for my personal Bible Studies. My journal and my Bible are always together.
 
This-N-That
I felt led to share some nuggets from the pages of my journal which I wrote the first couple of weeks in January. Some are short directives from Heaven; others are notes from my studies:
 
Build life by exercising the law of faith in Romans 8:2. How? By speaking words of faith and love.
 
The way God provides for me is through a seed. The scriptures are seed that need to be planted. A seed will meet any need. Philippians 4:19
 
The Word begins to build an image on the inside. Line up with the Word. The enemy is after that image.
 
Understanding Kingdom authority — Whatever you allow, heaven allows. (Matthew 16:19) Every place the sole of your foot shall tread ... Joshua 1:3
Boldness: The righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1 & Proverbs 30:30
 
It’s all flowing out of image.
 
Study of Colossians 1:9-11:
Knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding
Produces:
Walking worthy of the LORD
Which produces:
The fullness of pleasing Him
Which produces:
Being fruitful in every good work
Which produces
Increasing in the knowledge of God
Which will produce
Being strengthened with ALL might
According
To His glorious power
For
All patience and longsuffering with joy
That produces
Giving thanks to the Father
Who
Has qualified us to be
Partakers of the inheritance
Of
The Saints
In the light.
Conclusion: I am delivered from the power of darkness and conveyed into His Kingdom – all that the Kingdom is and has we inherited as joint heirs
 
What to do with contrary thoughts:
Never wonder why it’s not working
SLAP THEM DOWN! Al (my friend) likes to say: “Oh no you don’t!!!”
 
Faith is the golden key to the Kingdom of God resources.
i.e. — like someone of honor who is given the key to the city.
Prayer: effective strategies for America’s officials – active participation (continual prayer is necessary from the corporate church)
 
Three views of Healing:
1. Healing has been done away with
2. God does heal — only IF it’s His will
3. Healing, along with Salvation, belongs to His Body and to the world.
Jesus is God’s gift to the world
Holy Spirit is God’s gift to The Church
Acts 3:2 The lame man
Acts 3:16 “And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong...”
Did you have to wait for two years to receive salvation? No! Why wait for healing? It’s the same thing. Healing came with the package!
Sickness comes from satan. God is not the author.
 
The anointing is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit. It is power (dunamis).
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the gateway to the supernatural. The biggest miracle is the NEW BIRTH!
The anointing on Jesus wouldn’t work for people in His home town. (Matthew 13:58)
The anointing works — through faith.
 
The earth has been given to the children of men. (Psalm 115:16)
Faith in His name
Jesus — the perfect will of God
He hasn’t changed nor the Father
The name has been given to men for them to use
 
Study: Hebrews 1:2
Father appointed Jesus heir of all things
Jesus is the lawful owner of everything— He has legal rights
Wrote 1 Peter 3:22 on a card...placed in my kitchen
Abraham and his seed received the promise that he would be heir of the world, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. (Romans 4:12-13)
Connection: live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
 
The planet is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19)
Psalm 103:1-5 Longevity ... If you don’t believe for it, you won’t get it
Faith is an act
Faith is voice activated
 
Study: Love fulfills all the law
A new commandment: love one another as I have loved you (John 13:34)
Faith works through love
The Body of Christ is the Body of the anointing
Enemies of love:
Spirit of division: racism, employers & employees, political parties, etc.
Spirit of division: husband & wives (dogged determination to correct one another)
Spirit of division: Offense & strife – avoid disputes
Taking communion: Discern the Body (many are sick, weak, dead) 1 Corinthians 12:27-34 & 1 Corinthians 12:25)
Forgive quickly
Walking in love is walking in healing
Be kind, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:32)
He who loves fulfills the law (Romans 13:8 & 10)
Perfect love casts out all fear
 
Study: What is man? Psalm 8
Original text: man is not under the angels but made a little lower than Elohim vs. 5
The Kingdom of God is ruled by a king. It is not a democracy.
In His Kingdom there’s no intellectual debating — His Word is final authority
“I am watching over My Word to perform it ...” (Jeremiah 1:12)
It’s time to walk in authority, the authority of the Word
If your soul is not prosperous — mind, will, emotions — it will act like a 2 year old screaming for what it wants. (Flesh) This hinders the spirit man where the Word of God abides. Derails the faith connection ...exactly what satan wants.
Must renew the mind
Meditate: 3 John 2
 
Study: Words
The enemy wants to pressure us into speaking words to bring things in that we don’t want
Numbers 13 & 14
He told Israel they were going to take the land
Majority said — we can’t do it. We’re going to die if we go there...
God cannot lie. Promises are His will. His will is manifested by preaching...Titus 1:2-3
It is His plan to prosper us.  (Jeremiah 29:11-14)
 
Closing Comments
I don’t mind telling you I was somewhat hesitant about sharing notes from my journal for this lesson. After all, my journal is private business ... but I did leave out a couple of personal things.
 
One thing I recognized after reviewing this lesson was an overall picture of what He was saying to me. There was more here than I thought. And the way I study isn't always the same. My present study in the Book of Isaiah has a different format. I just seek to follow my Teacher's instructions ... it's more fun this way!
 
But what if I had not written these things down?
 
Certainly, this learning process called “living by faith” is quite a journey and it seems the more we know about spiritual things, the more we find out how much more there is to know!
 
This lesson caused me to go back and read through a couple of old journals I had as a baby Christian. What a mishmash of disorder! There were lots of up and down days dealing with family and inner conflicts, yet striving to walk the walk of faith. I also was pleased to notice names of people with needs on those prayer lists and how God has answered so many prayers over the years. Now that will boost your faith!
 
You don’t have to be a writer to have a journal. Give God the opportunity and He will help you to express yourself in writing. Quiet times separated to the LORD slow us down so that He can reveal Himself and also help pull up hidden things of the heart. There's just something about writing with pen and paper ... "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)

This is the secret place of the Most High, one in which He can touch our innermost being with His love and joy, strengthening us; or bringing correction for success that can mature our inner man for advancement. I have found many times while writing that He has revealed answers to me. Why? My spirit, soul, and body got quiet. And, of course, praying in tongues often accompanies these times.
 
So, we can see that "prayer times" accompany different aspects of what is known as “being in the Spirit.” Think about the Apostles. Deep spiritual truths were written in their letters for the edification of The Church. Their impact is astounding for the advancement of God's Kingdom on earth!
 
Don’t you want to record your own personal treasures from heaven in your life book?
 
“How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!” Psalm 139:17

 
Suggested Assignment
Kenneth E. Hagin: Excellent teaching on prayer you don't want to miss! It's less than an hour long.
