Commune in the spirit
15/5/06 Commune in the spirit
The Father is spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit. Any other mode of communication does not reach the Father. One must communicate spirit to spirit. Communication can occur through different modes, physical, emotional and spiritual. Because the Father is a spirit being, one needs to communicate to Him through your spirit. This is where one fails to communicate with the Father because one communicates through the intellect. The blindness that occurs is because of not communicating in the right mode. Paul communicated to the Jews about the things of the spirit but only those who discerned in the spirit, perceived. You are a spirit being and when you communicate in the spirit then the other person who is open to the spirit will perceive and believe. Believing is a spiritual activity. Believe from the head is not true belief. In the spirit one intuits the real. The real in the spirit is what is truth. Truth in the physical realm is not the same as that which is intuited in the spirit. So when one worships in spirit and in truth it is the worship in spirit and in the truth of the spirit. Many try and understand the things of the spirit through their intellect and get confused. Much learning in this area is useless to growth in the spirit. To understand the spirit world one needs to operate in the dimension of the spirit. This is why many are led astray through ignorance. In the spirit you operate in a mode that is above the physical and psychological. You are a spirit being and in the spirit you can be in any place at anytime. You can transport yourself in the spirit and intervene in situations through prayer. This is why Paul was able to be in the spirit with those he wrote his letters to. This spiritual communication occurs between God and man and man and man. Animals do not have the spirit of man as they are not created in the image of God. Praying in tongues is a quick way to enter into the realm of the spirit and to minister in the spirit. Therefore do not be distracted by words of man but rely on the spirit to help you to intuit His knowledge through His Spirit in you.

God's address
6/5/06 God’s address
Where is God’s address? God’s address is in you. He resides in you. Therefore His address is you. What a powerful thought. If God’s address is in me then I am where God is. God is everywhere but He has chosen to reside in me and in everyone who is washed by the blood of Jesus. God cannot reside in one who is not washed. God’s presence is around us but He can only reside in those who have been washed in the blood of His Son, Jesus. His sacrifice is the only sufficient means of entrance into His personal presence in you. God cannot stand in the presence of sin because He is sinless. The only answer to sin is His blood. Just as the spirit of death passed over the doors painted with the blood so also sin cannot have dominion over you in His presence. It is His presence in you that enables you to defeat all evil and the tempter of your soul. His presence in you will enable you to see as He sees and feel as He feels. You become like Him as you see and feel like Him. When you see and feel like Him then you will behave like Him. This is how you will represent Him on earth. What a marvellous transaction. Paul reasoned and witnessed to this fact and many were saved from eternal damnation. Your life given up for His cause will also bear the same fruits of redemption. Only the blood of Jesus can do this. All who are called will be saved.

God guides your steps
1/5/06 God guides your steps.
God guides His people through visions, dreams and thoughts. You will be aware of His guidance as you look back and see His hand in everything even in the negative events in your life. God allows these things for a purpose. God is good and like a loving Father He will use the negative events to produce character in you. In the final analysis this is what counts. It is not riches or fame that matter but the legacy of character and values you stand for that others will emulate and remember. God has given His Word as a guide and a testament of His character and plans so that nations who call Him Lord can know and believe in Him. Faith demands trust in Him and His Word. Many will distort His Word for their own purposes but He never changes. The God of the Old Testament is the same as the new. The violence portrayed in the old is evidence that justice will prevail and that He is no respecter of persons. His laws will reap their due reward or judgement. This is a universal principle. You can’t hide for long from your sin. Your sin will be exposed and you will be judged. Whole nations were judged as an example of how God will judge nations. He will spare the righteous but His plans and ways are eternal and not limited to this time. Therefore He is able to do what pleases Him and no man is able to judge Him. He is the Creator and He is the final judge. Therefore walk in the fear of Him who can destroy the body but spare the soul.
