I'm continuing my discussion on the overcoming death or the power of resurrection.
The death of the Lord Jesus Christ did not end on the cross. It became victorious plan of God for the resurrection. That's why apostle Paul often says that "I may know him and the power of his resurrection. why apostle Paul often says that "I may know him and the power of his resurrection." And Paul also said very clearly if there is no resurrection of the dead there is no way that we are exercising our faith.
One of the most beautiful initiatives of the Lord Jesus Christ before the resurrection was when he complete the task on the cross , he went to the bottom of the earth where the sheol or the hell where the old testament saints like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all whole lot were, And he applied the very efficacy of his blood, the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, efficacy of his mighty name, Yeshua, which is connected to the name of the Father Yahweh. And he released them from their bondage. And when the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead, they all rose from the dead. And many witnesses the graves open. The Bible says Matthew 27, the Old Testament saints rose from their graves and entered into the realm of God.
Ever since his resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ came to the disciples and he breathed onto them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." John 20:22. And then Acts chapter 1:8 he said "receive the power "and then also Luke 24:49 say "the promise of the Father which is the Spirit."
John's gospel chapter Verse 16 to17, He said I will pray the Father and he'll give another comforter that he may abide with you forever even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive is because it seeth him not near the knoweth him but you know him he dwelleth with you referring to came. He came as the spirit of God. He came as the Word (Logos ) of God. But he shall be in you. He shall be in you. Now that's exactly what we have been talking about all this time. We do need to understand who our living God is. Many people say God is an object of worship. They need tangible object, an image, a picture, a statue or some person in some tangible form. That's why all the man-made religions of this world are tangibly worshiping the sun and the moon including the traditional Christian religions without their knowledge. Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists, Charismatics, Pentecostals, Evangelicals all are worshiping the sun and moon without their knowledge. The religious world won't some object of worship. But our God is not object of worship.
The Lord Jesus Christ in John chapter 4 very profoundly mentioned to the woman
He said God is a spirit.
The worshiper must worship Him in spirit and truth.
God is King eternal, there is no beginning and end, immortal, invisible and the voice God
So that's why I said very clearly the essence of the spirit of God is his consciousness. I'm repeating this divine consciousness. What we call the most precious thing in the whole of the universe is the divine consciousness.
The divine consciousness has three manifestations.
Divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding.
And by virtue of that God can perceive divinely, discern and conceive because He's the Creator, the living God. He all the time create things and that's why he perceive and then he discern and then he conceive.
And to do that he all the time use his living capability of imagination visualization and actualization.
The whole universe is the absolute imagination, visualisation and actualization of the living God. And having created the whole universe there is 26 billion years 46 billion immaterial there are 10 trillion galaxies 20 trillion galaxy immaterial to me .
God created this whole universe and God is not part of the universe. He fills the universe, he controls the universe but he is above the universe. The realm of God is consisting of 10 dimensions. We live in a three-dimensional world. Everything in the universe you can see tangibly.
Though we cannot see, we can only see 4% of the universe. 96% we can't see.
So God sustained the universe by virtue of his laws.
Now these recognized by the scientists they say trillions and trillions of laws they like divine orders trillions and trillions of mathematical formulas in the universe and therefore those laws and that's why they say there's intelligent being behind all this otherwise it cannot happen sometime people ask who created God. Then you created that God. Who created that God? There's some origin some place something has to origin. Not this foolish discussion. Some people doesn't know what is the word meaning of the eternal also. That's why they ask this questions. So going back to our most important thing the divine consciousness is most precious thing and Bible say God is love not just the love we understand her between romantic love between man and woman there has to be reason to love phelio is a love between parents and children brothers and sisters friends there's something to receive that love. But the agape is the highest level of love, divine love, godly love. And God demonstrated that love by virtue of giving his consciousness to the angels. And all the angels have the divine consciousness apart from the fallen angels and Lucifer which has fallen down their evil consciousness. And therefore as a result of that divine consciousness with the divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding, divine perception and discernment and conception, divine imagination, visualization, angels have and by virtue of that they have the glorious ability to think with the living God Almighty. Not only think the living God Almighty continuously experience the power by virtue of the breath that God gives. The angels have a soul and a spirit. They have an identity. Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael. So they have an identity. They're just not four floating spirits somewhere. No, no, no, no. They govern the whole universe by virtue of God's engagement by thinking with him.
You must remember our brain is a muscle. It's flesh and blood. You have the right brain and left brain. But brain is not the mind. Mind is different. Brain is like technology. Brain is a physiology. Brain is a machinery. Brain can only do what somebody else instruct. So what is essence is the brain is the mind seat of the mind. It is the mind that implement things. The mind is part of the inner man, the soul. And the soul has the consciousness. So the consciousness is the most important thing. We have human consciousness.
Human consciousness there. And by virtue of human consciousness only we feel, we do things. And then make decisions, decisions, all the decisions are not taken by my brain, my body. No, it's taken by my mind, powered by my consciousness and given the wisdom, knowledge and understanding, human wisdom. But originally it was divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding. Now apart from various gods and deities, Paul very clearly King eternal, immortal and invisible. Invisible. Our living God is invisible. He's eternal spirit. And then he said why is God? Why it is called God, why? Because of the divine consciousness.
Now if you ask intelligence are you intelligent? Where is your intelligence? It's in your brain. No. When you die, intelligence die. Some people say he's a brainy person. I mean the brain is everybody has the same there's no big different way sometimes by virtue of the character and the ethnicity there could be slight difference but one thing brain is the technology, brain is the physiology, brain is the machine but the machine cannot operate by itself. Physic can cannot operate by itself. Technology cannot implement by itself, there has to be software. The hardware and the software and it come from the mind. It come from the consciousness.
The intelligence is there. That's why when you have divine consciousness, the expression is divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding.
And then you have divine discernment, perception and conception.
And then the imagination, this is the human imagination.
But before that is he has the human consciousness, human wisdom, knowledge and understanding. He perceived and he discerned the needs of the people. And then he conceived and thereafter he imagined and then he visualized and actualized it. Many innovations happen today. But the inhuman intelligence, is something beyond what you see and what you hear. If I see orange tree, I don't need intelligence to perceive that. It's an orange tree. I see oranges. If I want to find out when was it planted, where was it planted, how so many details about this tree, how old is this tree, then I need to know those things, that's searching, that intelligence. That's human intelligence.
Intelligence is something where your ability to see something which you cannot be, which you can see with your eyes. Something which beyond your eyes intelligence, something beyond your ears you can hear from beyond your ears.
Perceive beyond your natural ability. So animals do not have that intelligence. They don't have, the birds doesn't have, the fish doesn't have, the trees and the plants doesn't have. God gave it to the human beings and he gave the supreme divine intelligence, but he lost it. And now we have only human intelligence. But the angels have the divine intelligence.
Now today the human intelligence brings so many innovations, creativity and new products, technology and all that. And then we have artificial intelligence.
Now if you go to that same orange tree, you don't need intelligence to see it is orange tree but you need intelligence to see how many trees, how many fruits are there, how many leaves are there, all kinds of things like that. You know human intelligence count and all those things per knowledge. But if you have artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence will tell you when the tree was planted, probably who planted it and how many trees every year it has, how many fruits it have produced and all kinds of information.
But you know neither human intelligence nor the artificial intelligence cannot tell what will happen to this tree tomorrow. Will somebody come and cut it and take it for firewood or somebody would really take this tree from this place and take it somewhere else and plant it. Neither human intelligence nor the artificial intelligence can tell you what is going to happen tomorrow.
Human intelligence have certain capabilities but artificial intelligence have bigger capabilities by virtue of the way it is in design. But what is going to happen to the tree tomorrow and what kind of things that would take place? Whether owner will cut it, whether somebody will take it somewhere else, whether the leaves will be taken, all kinds of things would be, we don't know. Artificial intelligence cannot tell. So one thing very clear, human intelligence take you to certain level using your human faculties, human knowledge and understanding human discernment and perception. Artificial intelligence take you and get more and more vital information and suggestions how you can use the tree, what you can do, where you can do and all kinds of things, suggestions can be given but artificial intelligence or the human intelligence cannot tell you what will happen to the tree tomorrow. They can give various suggestions to do it but tomorrow if the owner take the tree and cut it, all suggestions are gone in the river. So what the Lord Jesus Christ said when he said I am with you now. And he said the spirit of truth, the comforter. Today people are living in anxiety. See what is happening today in the world. So much of anxious this and that happening here and there. What will happen here after Jesus said his spirit is the spirit of truth. And that's why Jesus said I am the truth. No man come to the Father but by me. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. So when he said the spirit of truth comes to you, you begin to understand everything, not few things. Absolutely. When the spirit of truth comes to you and it brings to you the understanding of God's design, desire and demands, past, present and the future.
That's the uniqueness of the people who have been called out by God. This is the glorious privilege. When God gives his Spirit to us, the Holy Spirit when he fills us, he said it's in you. And that is why when he rose from the dead, he breathed and said, "Receive the spirit." And that's why very clearly John said very clearly and I pray the Father He shall give you another comforter. There's no comfort that can come from you, from your human intelligence or the artificial intelligence. More chaos would come. But God promised a comforter that he may abide with you forever. No time limit. Even the spirit of truth. Today everybody's lying. Politicians are lying, businessmen are lying, religious leaders are lying. No exception. You don't know concocted things presented as the truth. When you're buying thing, you're buying lies. Connect to the original. How the serpent sold a lie to the woman. Therefore it says, the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive today if you begin to speak the truth, world will hate you, despise you, reject you. Word cannot receive because he seeth him not. Neither knoweth him but you know him. He dwelleth with you and he shall be in you. Dwelleth referring to the Lord Jesus Christ. He was the Word made flesh. Bible says in the beginning was the Word (Logos in Greek). The word was God and the word was made flesh and dwelt. Now I must tell you Jesus is not eternal Father or he is not one-third of God. He is the son of God. He is the son of man. He had a human birth, human living and human death and human resurrection. And he's at the right hand of God. The Bible says from Old Testament to New Testament, the Bible says the Lord Jesus Christ is the right hand of God. There's only one Lord. The Lord Jesus Christ himself said in Mark chapter 12, the Lord Jesus Christ himself said to Israelites, Jesus answered and said first of all the commandment is here O Israel, the Lord our our God is one Lord. One, not three or four or 5 or 7 no. One , that's why Jesus said my Father is bigger than me, I come from the Father and I go back to the Father, I am in the Father, Father in me, referring to his consciousness when Jesus said if you have seen me (Jesus) you have seen the Father he was not referring to his beard, his eyes. he said his stature.
He was a word made flesh; he was the express image of The invisible God,
express image of the invisible God that also express imagination
That's why he was fulfilling God's design and desire and demands and went to the cross in the garden of Gethsemane he said difficult but not my will your will, the spirit of truth is now in the ones who are called out.
Now the called out ones are now not a part of any religion or a religious Christianity is different. What they offers is blessings and protection. But the faith presented by the Lord Jesus Christ, the faith presented by apostles is nothing to do with blessings and protection. It is connected to eternal life. And that's why he said there is no limitation. That's why he said very clearly no limitation for time. We try to live according to the time that is given to us. But you know God has chosen his seed before the foundation. That is the reason many people do not read the Bible properly. John chapter 17 is one of the most beautiful chapters of the Bible. Jesus said the people whom you have given to me, people who have given to me and that means the list have been given to the Lord Jesus Christ by the Father. Thine they were. Past tense. Thine they were and to them I have revealed your name. What is the name? Name of the father. Jesus said, "I have come in my father's name, the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua, connected to the Yahweh name. I am that I am." And therefore, Jesus said, "I have presented to them thy word, thy word." And the Bible say the seed is the word. The word is the seed. And the seed is everything, That is why John says he that is born of God does not commit sin does not commit sin because his seed in him seed means God's divine consciousness when the Holy Spirit comes to me and you, divine consciousness comes, divine consciousness comes to me and you , you begin to have divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding, you begin to see the things of the kingdom. That's why Jesus said to Nicodemus, you must be born of God to see the things of kingdom.
What the eye hath not seen, what the ear hath not heard, but Jesus said unto them, it is not given to understand the things of the kingdom of God. So when you and I have filled with the spirit of God, which is the spirit of truth, the comforter awakens my human consciousness into divine consciousness.
And then I have divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding by virtue of I can perceive things, I can discern things and conceive things. I have the ability for imagination, visualization and actualization.
That's why Paul says whatever you do in do in deed or word do it all in the name of Jesus Christ. By virtue of the divine consciousness, I have divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding. That what that means? I have the divine intelligence.
Not the human intelligence, not the artificial intelligence but the divine intelligence. With the divine intelligence in me I am one with the Father that's why Jesus said the glory which you have given to me I have given to them what is that the divine consciousness for what purpose that they may be one as we are one you know brothers and sisters God what we call the holy common union, oneness.
He is one with the whole universe, the creation. He is one with all the angels. Two third angels are.
He is one with the all the called out ones, chosen seed. By which oneness means God give the glorious ability for you and me not to think about him, think about you, your inadequacies, his abilities. know he gives a glorious privilege to his called out ones to think with him.
When you begin to think with him, you know what to do, when to do, how to do, where to do and all these things.That is what is called the righteousness. Righteousness of the saints are going to be manifested all the time. Now as a called out ones, God bless
