  • DIMENSIONS Of SPIRIT: Calvinism VS Arminianism

    Dimensions: Length, width & height of something in space… (As well as Time.)

    • Length: The extent of an object from end to end along a line.
    • Width: The extent of an object from side to side.
    • Height: The vertical extent of an object from bottom to top.

    SPIRITUAL DIMENSIONS

    The Spirit dimension is a realm that provides energy, consciousness, and goes beyond earthly matter. The heavenly dimension offers a perspective that goes beyond earthly limitations and sees reality from an eternal, all-knowing viewpoint.

    Spiritual Length

    … represents God’s eternal nature.

    There is no beginning or end with God; He stretches infinitely in both directions. Length points to God’s everlasting love that knows no bounds. The depth and profundity of one’s connection to higher spiritual dimensions is characterized by expanded awareness, wisdom, and the direct realization of one’s identity as the deathless Self. The longer one’s spirit grows, the closer one comes to the goal of perfect self-realization and unity with the Divine.

    Spiritual Width

    … signifies God’s all-encompassing presence.

    God is wider than we can comprehend, surrounding us on all sides. Width symbolizes God’s omnipresence, indicating that he is present everywhere at once. The evolution of consciousness goes from a narrow identification with form to the expansive, inclusive awareness of nondual truth and unbounded presence beyond all limitations.

    Spiritual Height

    …reminds us of God’s lofty nature, high above all creation.

    Height points to God’s holiness and the great heights we can rise to in Christ. The height of spirit soars above all earthly things. Height refers to exaltation, supremacy, and transcendence.

    Perspective Determines Belief

    Perspective: The lens through which we view the world and our place within it.

    When it comes to Calvinism and Arminianism, there are two main dimensions of perspective as defined above:

    The Divine Dimension Heavenly Dimension (Bird’s-eye/The Big Picture):

    (Ethereal/ Heavenly)

    This is God’s perspective from outside of time and space. From this heavenly viewpoint, God sees all of history and human choices from start to finish. Salvation looks like a divinely determined election since God chooses who will be saved. This perspective prioritizes God’s sovereignty over all things.

    The Earthly Dimension (Human Perspective, Not Bird’s-eye View):

    (Human/ Worldly)

    From our limited earthly perspective, we believe humans have the freedom to make choices and respond to grace offered for salvation. This perspective emphasizes the importance of human decision-making over God’s Sovereign Destiny.

    God’s wisdom is perfect, but human wisdom is limited: We must acknowledge that “God’s ways are higher than our ways” (Isaiah 55:9).

    LENGTH

    The length of God refers to his eternal and everlasting nature. Scripture speaks of God’s eternity in passages like Psalm 90:2: “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.”

    LENGTH: CALVINIST PERSPECTIVE

    God’s length – his duration without beginning or end – points to his transcendence of time and space. He is the Eternal One, unbounded by linear progression or dimensions.

    So the “length” of God – points to eternity, immutability, independence, perfection & self-sufficiency. God’s “long” duration signifies his spanless and unconditioned being, utterly free from the constraints of space and time that bind all creatures; God’s length reflects the infinite “brevity” of his changeless and complete eternity. He “is” – without succession, progress or persistence of being.

    St. Augustine spoke of God’s eternity as an “eternal present” where past, present and future exist simultaneously. This “length” without succession reflects God’s timeless and immutable nature. For Augustine, creation “emerges” from God’s eternal Now into linear time.

    LENGTH: ARMINIAN PERSPECTIVE

    Arminians argue that God’s predestination is “conditional;” it depends on whether individuals choose to have faith and persevere in that faith. Length then results from a synergistic partnership between divine grace and human volition, with individuals playing an active role in determining the extent of their own Length,

    WHY ARMIAN PERSPECTIVE IS FLAWED

    Misunderstanding God’s sovereignty: Human choices do not influence God’s plans. He is the ultimate authority, ordaining all things according to His will without adaptation. God is self-sufficient and doesn’t depend on creation for fulfillment. God’s independence is weakened if human actions influence Him. However, the Eternal One is completely self-existent and independent, not dependent on anything.

    WIDTH

     The comprehensiveness, vastness and all-encompassing nature of God… 

    WIDTH CALVINIST PERSPECTIVE

    The width of God points to truths about his omnipresence and omniscience – his infinity and immensity that encompasses all things. Everywhere we turn, we exist within the breadth of his being and knowledge. This divine width both secures and upholds creation, enabling God to be fully present in each person yet embracing all as one. The width of God is the infinite spatiality of the spiritual realm, revealing a perfect balance of uniqueness and unity in the divine Nature.

    WIDTH ARMINIAN PERSPECTIVE

    God’s width encompasses His omnipresence, omniscience, and omni benevolence. This showcases the perfect balance between His sovereignty and love for human freedom. He is fully present with each person in a unique way while also embracing everyone equally. His infinite knowledge includes all possibilities, respecting the choices of free beings. God’s omnipresence sustains human freedom and guides all for the greater good. It allows room for choice within His governance. This breadth of God’s being fosters a diverse and loving communion. From an Arminian perspective, God’s width exemplifies the harmony between divine unity and human diversity through His all-encompassing grace.

    WHY I BELIEVE THE ARMINIAN VIEW OF WIDTH IS FLAWED

    The Arminian perspective on the breadth of God’s attributes may be deemed insufficient in fully capturing the essence of qualities such as His absolute sovereignty, independence, and impeccable omniscience.

    God’s will doesn’t bend to human choices. He exercises total control, including over “free will.” Contrary to the idea God’s foreknowledge depends on creatures, Scripture says God works all for His counsel. The notion God needs creation distorts His self-sufficiency.

    Seeking to grasp divine mysteries, Calvinism strives to align with God as revealed – infinitely wise, sovereign over all, yet loving His creation according to eternal purposes formed within His perfect being.

    HEIGHT

    Referring to God’s altitude and elevation…

    ‘HEIGHT’ CALVINIST PERSPECTIVE

    God’s lofty place expresses His complete sovereignty ruling all with uncontested authority and might. The higher God is “lifted up,” the more His glory fills His church – arousing our worship as beings made for honoring the matchless Creator. The height of God magnifies the majesty and worth of His holy Name.

    HEIGHT ARMINIAN PERSPECTIVE

    Height points to the potential within all humans to rise up spiritually through Christ. The focus is on God’s planned desire of grace to all humanity and our sole responsibility to accept it through faith. Salvation depends on our response to God’s wide offer and our exertion to climb the heights possible in Christ.

    WHY THE ARMINIAN PERSPECTIVE OF HEIGHT IS FLAWED:

    While Arminian theology highlights significant truths about God’s nearness and compassion, it ultimately falls short of doing full justice to the heavenly height and absolute sovereignty of the Most High as Scripture reveals.

    That God somehow “adapts” to human choice or exists for creaturely communion diminishes His qualitative difference from and independence of creation. It implies the Exalted One needs or benefits from what is below, blurring the Creator-creature distinction.

    The notion free human decisions lie outside God’s eternal decree and perfect foresight fails to honor God’s complete rule from on high – that His plans are sovereignly fulfilled according to the counsel of His will.

    Though Arminianism rightly seeks to preserve human responsibility, it does so by lowering God from His rightful throne, reducing His attributes of wisdom, might, and glory.

    A truly biblical view of the height of God must above all magnify the transcendent majesty and worth of His majestic Name, invoking our worshipful submission as beings made to glorify our great Creator above all else!

    TIME

    Time, as we perceive it, is a linear concept on Earth, but there is a deeper truth of an eternal now where all moments converge. This aligns with theories of multiple dimensions and suggests that our spirit is connected to a timeless divine essence. As consciousness expands, we aim to reach a perfect union with God’s timeless now. In this sacred realm, all possibilities coexist harmoniously, and through Christ, we can experience a taste of eternity.

    GOD’S TIMELESSNESS DISPROVES FREE-WILL

    The concept of timelessness and higher dimensions suggests that free will is an illusion. From a transcendent viewpoint, all events, including choices, are already fixed. Temporality exists only within creation, and the perception of free will is contingent upon a wider perspective. If higher dimensions exist, human freedom can only be relative and apparent, not ultimately real.

    God exists beyond the spatial dimensions He created, transcending all dimensions from His exalted state. 

    “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the measuring line over it?
Job 38:5

    Calvinists assert that Scripture depicts God as sovereignly electing individuals for salvation “according to the good pleasure of His will” (Ephesians 1:4-5). From this perspective, human choice is subordinate to God’s choice. He chooses whom He wills based on His eternal purposes in Christ (2 Timothy 1:9).

    Arminians stress that God “provides the means of salvation, but [humans] must freely choose to receive it”. They argue that if humans lack free will, we become “programmed automatons, not free moral agents” .

    SCRIPTURES:

    By grace you have been saved through faith; this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 

    "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will..."
Ephesians 1:4-5

"He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will show compassion to whomever I show compassion.” [16] So then, it does not depend on the person who wants it nor the one who runs, but on God who has mercy."
Romans 9:15-16

    THESE THINGS ARE FOR SURE:

    • God is sovereign, and all things work to fulfill His purpose.
    • God grants us (on earth) wisdom and insight through His gifts, freely given according to His purpose. (James 1:5).
    • We cannot earn these gifts through our own seeking, but instead, we receive them because God in His sovereignty has chosen to bestow them upon us (John 15:16).
    • God opens the eyes of the blind, making those who were once dead in sin come alive to truth (2 Corinthians 4:6).
    • Our longing for wisdom is itself a sign of His grace, a tender mercy that we in no way deserve (Ephesians 2:8-9).
    • Our hope rests not in our own abilities, but solely on God’s free choice to show compassion and give understanding to those He has elected from eternity (Romans 9:11, Ephesians 1:4-5).
    • All glory, honor, and praise belong to God, now and forevermore (Romans 11:36).
    • All we can do is surrender to His will and purposes, seeking Him with a humble and grateful heart (Jeremiah 29:13).
    • For apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).

    While there may be mysteries that we cannot fully comprehend, we should humbly trust in God’s purpose and provision for His people.

  • The Unity of Existence: Finding the Essence of Life Everywhere

    The Unity of Existence: Finding the Essence of Life Everywhere

    What exists inside (the essence of life) also exists outside (in every form, shape, world, or domain).

    The essence of life, which can be understood as the vital force that animates all living beings, is present not only within us but also in all living things around us. It is the same life force that is found in the air we breathe, the plants we eat, and the animals we share the planet with.

    How the Presence of God’s Spirit Shapes My Beliefs and Spiritual Practices

    As someone who follows the teachings of Christianity, I believe that God’s Spirit is present in everything around us – from nature to human beings. The Bible tells us that God is the creator of all things and that His Spirit is at the core of everything on earth.

    Additionally, I believe that we can experience the Spirit of God through our personal relationships with Him and spiritual practices such as prayer, worship, and meditation. Through these practices, we can transform our lives and develop positive qualities such as love, joy, and peace – all attributed to the Spirit of God within us.

    The Interconnectedness of Spirit

    How the Essence of All Things Shapes Our Reality…

    The idea being expressed is that the spirit or essence of something is all-encompassing and present in everything that embodies it, such as a structure or an entire kingdom. This means that whatever is within an individual’s psyche can be reflected in the outside world. It suggests that the higher power has interconnected the human soul and the external world through divine means, making them inseparable and dependent on each other. As the Holy Scriptures say, “what happens in heaven will also happen on earth” (Matthew 6:10). In simpler terms, the framework of something reflects its essence and the spirit within us can be seen in what surrounds us.

  • His Essence Divine: My Faith, My Love

    His Essence Divine: My Faith, My Love

    This poem exhibits my enduring reliance on God during adversity, believing that my consciousness is linked to divine power as per Scripture.

    My Poem:

    HIS ESSENCE DIVINE (HE'S MINE)

    My Lord is the Essence of my desire, to seek and explore,
    To understand the Mysteries of Life and what's awaiting beyond Heaven's door...

    Implanting within my Mind, His Passion to seek the Divine and Know the Spiritual, within
    Rid me of darkness, letting Love in...

    His Essence guides me in the quest for Truth,
    To embrace His faith and reject their rotten torn fruit,
    Becoming refined, empathetic, and just...

    To do what's right,
    To always BE'trust', 
    becoming like Himself, though for now we are but dust...

    The days, as they pass, 
    The Spirit will remain,
    Guided by His Essence,
    Which always will sustain,

    He is Bright, the blinding Light,
    He can never fade,
    A love that endures,
    He will never evade...

    So I walk on, fueled by His Essence Divine,
    His Hope locked in my heart and His Peace framed in my mind...

    For I Know, because He placed me on this path, I will Become, 
    the strength to conquer, any worldly wrath to come...

    This Substance is something anomalous indeed,
    He took hold of my psychee, 
    Firmly planting & sustaining His Seed...

    Before I Knew, I was lost in His thrall,
    A slave to His whim, 
    Bonded to His beck and Heeded to His call...

    So I surrender to Him; He is Mystery, He is Force,
    Thrusting my being into His Wave,  His Frequency course...

    I'm submerged into Entanglement, particles are what He made, and by lowering Himself, my debt of separation is what He paid...

    Though still my mortal 'self', 
    This avatar that's doomed to death, 
    This vessel cannot compute the depth of the debt He paid...

    Fragile as I am, so that for now I can't comprehend,
    My soul was found in solace, incorporated by Him from within...

    I Am & I are One, in the future I will transcend- 
    One Love is the Eternal Truth, I will never play pretend...

    “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”

    1 Corinthians 3:16

    “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.”

    Romans 8:9

    “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

    John 4:24
  • No Condemnation in Christ Jesus: Living by the Spirit

    No Condemnation in Christ Jesus: Living by the Spirit

    In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul presents a powerful message of hope, emphasizing the freedom and transformative power found in Christ Jesus.

    In Romans 8:1-25, Paul highlights the profound truth that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This passage beautifully articulates the journey of believers, as they are liberated from the bondage of sin and embrace a life led by the Spirit.

    Let us explore the profound implications of these verses and the life-changing message they convey.

    Freedom from the Law

    Paul begins by proclaiming that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death. The limitations of the Law, which were unable to save or fulfill righteousness, have been surpassed by God’s ultimate act of love. He sent His own Son, Jesus, in human form, as a sin offering, to condemn sin in the flesh. This act of sacrificial love fulfilled the requirements of the Law, enabling us to walk according to the Spirit rather than the flesh.

    The Dichotomy of Mindsets

    Paul distinguishes between two mindsets: the mindset on the flesh and the mindset on the Spirit. The former leads to death and hostility toward God, while the latter brings life and peace. Those who are controlled by the flesh cannot please God, as human nature is inherently flawed and fallen. However, through the indwelling of the Spirit, believers experience a radical transformation that aligns their hearts and minds with God’s desires.

    Living in the Spirit

    Believers are reminded that they are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells within them. The presence of the Holy Spirit within us testifies to our belongingness to Christ. Although our bodies may be affected by sin, the Spirit grants us new life because of Christ’s righteousness. Living according to the flesh leads to death, but living by the Spirit allows us to crucify the deeds of the body and experience true life.

    Adoption as Children of God

    As children of God, we have received the spirit of adoption, which allows us to cry out, “Abba! Father!” This intimate relationship with God is a testament to our status as heirs of His kingdom. Our identity as children of God carries with it the promise of future glory and eternal inheritance. However, this journey may involve suffering and hardship. Yet, the sufferings of this present time pale in comparison to the glory that awaits us.

    Creation’s Longing and Hope

    Paul expands the scope of redemption to include the entire creation. He explains that creation was subjected to futility and corruption but awaits liberation from its bondage. The creation groans and suffers in anticipation of the revealing of the sons of God. Likewise, we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, eagerly await our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. In our hope, we persevere and eagerly await the unseen promises of God.

    The passage from Romans 8:1-25 encapsulates the transformative power of Christ’s sacrifice and the freedom we experience through the Holy Spirit.

    As believers, we are no longer condemned but rather adopted as children of God, eagerly anticipating the glorious future that awaits us.

    Our lives are no longer bound by the flesh, but by the Spirit, leading us to walk in righteousness and experience true life and peace.

    May we continue to embrace this liberating truth and live in the fullness of God’s grace, with unwavering hope for the promises yet to be fulfilled.

  • Bible Verses About Fire Baptism: A Spiritual Purification

    Bible Verses About Fire Baptism: A Spiritual Purification

    Baptism is an important sacrament in Christianity, symbolizing the believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

    While water baptism is commonly practiced, the Bible also speaks of another form of baptism, namely, fire baptism.

    Fire Baptism

    Fire baptism signifies a spiritual purification and empowerment through the Holy Spirit. In several passages, the Bible describes the concept of fire baptism and its significance for believers. Let’s explore these verses and gain insight into the deeper spiritual meaning they hold.

    Matthew 3:11-12: “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”

    In this passage, John the Baptist speaks of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. John acknowledges his inferiority and emphasizes that Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire.

    The imagery of fire signifies the refining and purifying work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. Just as fire separates wheat from chaff, the Holy Spirit separates the righteous from the unrighteous.

    Luke 3:16: “John answered them all, saying, ‘I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.’“

    Similar to the prior verse, John reiterates the coming baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. Here, John emphasizes his unworthiness to even untie the sandals of Jesus. This highlights the authority and power of Christ, who will bestow the Holy Spirit and the refining fire of spiritual transformation upon those who believe in Him.

    Mark 16:16: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”

    This verse underscores the importance of both belief and baptism for salvation. Water baptism is an outward expression of faith, while fire baptism represents the internal work of the Holy Spirit. Believers who embrace the essence of this “dual” baptism are saved, while those who reject the message of Christ face condemnation.

    Titus 3:5: “He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.”

    The apostle Paul reminds us that our salvation is not based on our own righteous acts but rather on God’s mercy. Through the “washing of regeneration” and the renewal brought by the Holy Spirit, believers are transformed and purified spiritually.

    Acts 1:8: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

    Before ascending to heaven, Jesus promised His disciples the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This baptism would empower them to be His witnesses and spread the message of salvation throughout the world. The Holy Spirit’s fire empowers believers to live out their faith boldly and effectively.

    Fire Purifies

    Fire represents the transformative and purifying work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. It symbolizes the separation of the righteous from the unrighteous and the empowerment to live a life dedicated to God’s purpose.

    Hebrews 12:29 reminds us that “our God is a consuming fire.”

    This verse conveys the awe-inspiring nature of God’s presence and the all-consuming power of His righteousness. As we embrace the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire, we open ourselves to the transformative work of God and His refining power in our lives.

    The concept of fire baptism in the Bible speaks to the profound spiritual transformation and empowerment that believers experience through the Holy Spirit.

    This baptism denotes purification, empowerment, and the separation of the righteous from the unrighteous, like wheat separated from the chaff.

    The New Covenant: Richer Than Dreams & Visions

    Mystery Revealed

    Mystery is defined as

    If a Mystery has been revealed to you, you no longer refer to it as a “mystery”:

    If you do refer the the mystery as a a Mystery in your own mind; then it’s my opinion that you’re either talking out the side of your mouth or you are not actually in the Revelation of the Mystery.

    THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD ARE REVEALED TO US BY HIS SPIRIT

    As it is written,
    No eye has Seen, nor Ear Heard,
    not has entered into the heart of man:
    the things which God has prepared
    for those who Love Him.
    … But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

    1 Corinthians 2:9-10

    The secret (טוֹב)of the LORD is
    with those who fear Him,
    & He will show them His covenant.
    Psalms 25:14

    God’s Council is the Secret for those who fear Him, with awe & amazement.

    The Mystery is Knowable

    YHWH said, “Listen now to My Words. If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself Known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream.
    Numbers 12:6

    But… wait:

    “Not so, with My servant Moses,
    He is faithful in all My household;
    With him I speak mouth to mouth (directly),
    Openly, and not in dark sayings (not shrouded in mystery as was prior to Chriat tearing the veil),
    And he beholds the form of the Lord.
    Why then were you not afraid
    To speak against My servant, against Moses?”

    So the anger of the Lord burned against them and He departed.
    — Numbers 12:7-9

    Are we not much more than Moses?

    Mystery Revealed

    The concept of mystery and revelation is a paradoxical one.

    On one hand, a mystery is something that is unknown and beyond human comprehension.

    On the other hand, revelation is the act of making something known or revealing it to someone.

    If a mystery has been revealed to a person, it is no longer a mystery to them.

    However, if one claims to have been revealed a mystery yet still finds it mysterious, they do not comprehend revelation.

    They fail to comprehend the vision of spiritual disclosure.

    A mystery is something that is not understood by the sole processes of the mind, so it is cloaked in mystery, in disguise. The contrast of that is a Revelation, which is total mind illumination.

    When an individual is illuminated, they are no longer cloaked, and the mystery can no longer be mysterious to them.

    This paradoxical disposition of mystery and revelation highlights the significance of the role of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who reveals the deep things of God to us and illuminates our minds.

    Without the Holy Spirit, we would be unable to apprehend the existence of mysteries, let alone given the ability by God to discern the mystery; transmuting the mystery into a completely difdsfrmt form; revelation, disclosure, and exposed .

    The paradox of mystery and revelation in spiritual discourse highlights the importance of the function of the Holy Spirit in illuminating our minds and revealing the dichotomy: revealing the profoundities of God: to us.

    If a mystery has been revealed to us, it is no longer a mystery, and we must seek the guidance and illumination of the Holy Spirit to understand the mysteries of God.

    THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD ARE REVEALED TO US BY HIS SPIRIT

    The things that God has prepared for those who love Him is incomprehensible.
    However, God has chosen to reveal these things to us through His Spirit.
    The Holy Spirit has the ability to search all things, including the deep things of God.
    Through the Spirit’s guidance, we can gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of God and the blessings He has prepared for us.

    As it is written,
    No eye has Seen, nor Ear Heard,
    not has entered into the heart of man:
    the things which God has prepared
    for those who Love Him.
    … But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

    1 Corinthians 2:9-10

    – This verse emphasizes the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit for spiritual discernment and insight.

    The secret (טוֹב)of the LORD is
    with those who fear Him,
    & He will show them His covenant.

    Psalms 25:14

    This transmits David’s conviction that the “secret” or the “advice” of the Lord is available to those who fear him.

    The word “fear” in this context does not mean being afraid of God as we would fear a malevolent enemy, rather its having a deep reverence and respect for Him.

    With deep respect for God, we can reach His wisdom and guidance. Cultivating a profound relationship with God based on faith, reverence and trust is the fork of the road, whereby the ability to apply the knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, acumen and guidance of The Holy Spirit. A guideline is internally outlined for us, in us, by Him.

    The Counsel of God is the secret for those who fear Him, with fear and amazement.

    The Mystery is Knowable

    YHWH said, “Listen now to My Words. If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself Known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream..

    New Covenant: Richer Than Dreams: No Longer a mystery

    The New Covenant surpasses our wildest dreams and visions we once had, revealing mysteries that were once unknown to us but are now made clear to those who are able to See and Hear. It is an incredible revelation that goes beyond what we could have ever imagined. This Covenant is filled with revolutionary power and boundless grace, offering an abundance of blessings. In this time, the veil of mystery has been lifted, and the New Covenant stands as an invocation for all of us who are called to embrace its truths with Praises and joy.

    The New Covenant was a mystery but is now a revealed truth. The mystery that was once hidden is now open to those who are drawn to integrate into a deeper communion with God.

    Mystery Revealed

    The term “mystery” generally refers to something that is unknown or not understood. Once a mystery is revealed and understood, it no longer fits the definition of a mystery. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to continue referring to it as a mystery if one is truly in possession of the revelation.

    & He will show them His covenant.

    Psalms 25:14

    Unveiling God’s Council

    The concept of God’s Council serves as the profound unveiling of a hidden truth, a revelation intended for individuals who approach Him with reverence and awe. It is crucial to recognize that a secret, by its very nature, is synonymous with a mystery, shrouded in obscurity and concealed from the eyes of the world. However, when such a secret is disclosed or made known, its essence as a covert truth is effectively relinquished, rendering it devoid of its enigmatic quality and no longer considered a mystery. The revelation of God’s Council not only enlightens those who fear Him but also signifies the unveiling of hidden wisdom that was previously unknown.

    The Mystery is Knowable

    YHWH said, “Listen now to My Words. If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself Known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream.

    Numbers 12:6

    But… wait:

    “Not so, with My servant Moses,
    He is faithful in all My household;
    With him I speak mouth-to-mouth (    directly),
    Openly, and not in dark sayings (not shrouded in mystery as it was prior to Christ tearing the veil),
    And he beholds the form of the Lord.
    Why then were you not afraid
    To speak against My servant, against Moses? … So the anger of the Lord burned against them and He departed.

    — Numbers 12:7-9
    Are we not much more than Moses?

    According to Hebrews 3:3, "For this one [Jesus] hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house."

    We are, indeed, much more than Moses.

    Thoughts From The Spirit

    The Spirit Is More Real Than The Material

    The One and Only Divine Creator has gifted a holy ruling upon His chosen ones, who are incredibly flawed yet cherished, to be forgiven from the consequences of their earthly forms through the Divine Mercy and Grace of the only Righteous One, Jesus Christ, Who, at a predestined moment, was tasked by The Father to Save you. The Mastermind behind every planet, star, organism, feeling, thought, and emotion has ordained us to be able to perceive things beyond the scope of our physical vision.

    Despite the false assertions made by mere mortals, we remain unaffected by their attempts to denounce what God has ordained or any passive aggression they employ to resist the works of God. We disregard their ego-driven, bad attitude because truth (God) is not intimidated by scrutiny.

    Despite existing in the physical realm, we comprehend that our body is God’s Property; we are His peculiar people.

    When the soul, once enslaved to the body, now belongs to the Divine Creator, salvation is impossible not to feel and comprehend cognitively.

    Who You Are

    As a Spiritual being, you receive information in a Divine way that transcends the constraints of the biological brain.

    Your soul is the essence of who you are, and the Holy Spirit governs your body, mind, and emotions.

    Through the power of the Spirit, you can connect with God and become One with the information (Wisdom) sent to you. This is because you are a Spiritual being, not bound by the material world.

    When God’s Spirit enters your stamina, it turns you over from the inside; out, preserving your soul for the day you will be reunited with the Divine source, YHWH.

    Although your physical body experiences pain and anguish, you comprehend that you are not a slave to the flesh but rather a spiritual being that is destined for eternal life, a slave to the Spirit, a slave to Righteousness.
