That is why apostle Paul says, "I'm crucıtied with Christ. Nevertheless, I live, not I. Christ liveth in me. And the life now I live in the flesh. I live by the faith of the Son of the living God.
I live by the faith of the identical faith. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ is identical faith. What is what was his faith?
The faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, thinking with the Father all the time.
Not my will but Your will.
Led by the Spirit all the time.
Led by the Spirit of God.
Now brothers and sisters, in Christ , when you say they are led by the Spirit, they are the sons. That means brothers and sisters it's a kind of a not an engagement where you can take a break. No .
You can take a snack break and coffee break, a tea break and you know, do something of you own. No, they're led by the Spirit of God.
They are the sons. Your status is purely articulated and explain who you are, your character.
You are a son of God because you are led by the Spirit of God. Only for an hour, only for 2 hours, only for 6 hours. No, but 24 hours a day continuously, consistently with a consciousness of God's leadership.
That's why I say the time is important because every second counts, brothers and sister.
One second is enough for Satan to get into your system and mess you out totally.
That is why, brothers and sisters, the Spirit of God or the anointing that comes to fill your body, soul, and spirit. That glorious anointing that take control of your whole fabric of your being. My fabric of being, my body, soul and the spirit.
And that is why he says you are filled and sealed with the Spirit of God. Filled and sealed with the Spirit of God.
So brothers and sisters in Christ, when you are filled, you are led by the spirit of God. Remember the Spirit of God means you have a package of things coming to you.
The Spirit of the Living God. The Spirit of the Living God. So you are getting a total package.
That is why Jesus Christ was the express image of the invisible God. In Greek , He was the Logos inside. He is the Word made flesh. The Word made flesh.
So when you are filled with the Spirit of God means the next moment you are led by the Spirit of God. It is an activity. It is an engagement. It is a continuous relationship.
They are the sons of God. You demonstrate who you are. You showcase your activity, engagement. You are the son of the living God.
The led by the Spirit means you have a total package coming to you. What is the package?
Divine consciousness.
Divine consciousness.
Divine consciousness to think with the Living God.
With the divine consciousness you get divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understand. What is that to us?
When it comes, Bible say the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Yes, when you are conscious of God, you have that awesome, not frightened but the fear of the Living God to saying that who you are, you are the son of the living God.
You are having the fullness of the Spirit of God.
Therefore, you cannot do funny things because you are accountable to God.
Thinking with the Living God means continuous activity. Continuous consistent activity with the consciousness with the divine consciousness.
Continuous consistent activity.
And then, brothers and sisters in Christ , when you have the essence of the Spirit of God in you, when you are led by the Spirit means you're moving. You're moving.
You're moving. You're moving.
Your imagination, your visualization, your actualization because every one of us continuously imagine things.
Visualize things, actualize.
Even taking this water and drinking it is actualization. This actualization. This is there l'm taking it. The tree lives by that water.
So the tree cannot imagine and go and take a bucket 🪣 and bring water. No. Like I take this bottle of water and bring it to my mouth.
But the tree can't do it. Somebody has to water that plant.
Therefore they have no imagination, no visualisualization and no actualization.
So brothers and sisters in Christ , when the Spirit of God in you, that is the total package you get. God is all over.
While God fills me with His Spirit , somebody else in America, in China, in Japan, in Europe, in Tel Aviv, in Jerusalem, he fills. So I'm getting the fullness of that. But that does not mean that God has emptied himself. No.
It is like an ocean. You go to ocean and take a bottle of ocean water. The quality and the degrees of the minerals are equal to what is there. But ocean is not empty.
So the Author, the Living God is like that.
So when he fills you and me with His Spirit, it is a total package.
And then you have the divine consciousness.
When you have the divine consciousness, you automatically, divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding is there.
And that's where the fear of the Lord is cardinal aspect, for me and you. And even the angels, Gabriel, Michael. And when that fear is lost, Lucifer went down and totally gone.
So we are continuously imagining, visualizing., actualizing.
So when the Holy Spirit comes to us with the divine consciousness; with the divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding which has the absolute accountability to God and the sons of God came to give accountability, fear.
Otherwise why would you come? You are accountable, responsible for the awesomeness, for the authority given.
We are the sons of God. We are the servants of Master God. We must give accountability.
And that is why in the Bible, it is written, Jesus Christ said that continuous accountability. The talents are given; 1 is given 5 talents, 1 is given 2 talents, 1 is given 1 talent. And reckoning time comes, to check what you done have with the talent.
So brothers and sisters in Christ, God fills me and give me His divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Not the human wisdom.
Now human wisdom is there for people in the world. That is why they act whatever it is. Now Steven Jobs have created this handphone. You have imagined, you have visualized and actualized. So that handphone is there.
But the divine wisdom, divine knowledge is different. Beyond going there, how to use this power is not to abuse this divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding with the fear of God. Be reminded, using divine power without character of God is demonic.
And then with that you have your imagination, your visualisation, your actualization. and that is reckoned with this, the thought.
Thought means our God is a Living God. He is continuously thinking. He is moving. He is progressively, thinking continuously.
So you cannot work on yesterday's thoughts. No, His Logos, the living Word.
That is why Jesus Christ says, the Word that I speak, they are spirit and life.
You know, it's not about the black letters on this white paper in this book. This Bible 📖 here, it is a book. But the Bible looks like a book, but it's not. This whole thing when the Spirit of God comes, it becomes life. There is no way that I can get any power from this. I cannot put this Bible under my pillow and sleep and says there is power. Like the Catholicism teaches to hold a cross or crucifix and you know demon vanish. No, there is nothing like that.
What is essence here is the Word. The Bible says, the letter killerh, but the spirit giveth life.
That is what Jesus Christ said. The Word that I speak, they are spirit and they are life.
So the Word of God come alive.
Without the Spirit of God, you cannot understand things of the God, Word of God.
That is why the carnal Christianity holding this Bible, they're reading and they're understanding very marginal worldly things.
But the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ is not reading that anymore.
The bride of the Lord Jesus Christ is eating, digesting.
John types the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ Eats the Little Book
⁸Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”
⁹ So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.”
And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
¹⁰ Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. ¹¹ And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
Take the book and eat it. The angel said to John, a type of the bride in the book of Revelation chapter 10.
And Jesus Christ said, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me, I in him."
So brothers and sisters in Christ , the thinking with the Living God continuously and you cannot go wrong.
And secondly, the breath. The breathing, it is not the human breathing. We breathe and we die after 120 years, maximum. But the breath that is given to the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ is the breath of eternity. Jesus Christ breathed unto them, they received the Holy Spirit.
And God breathes unto Adam when he was formed from the soil and he became a living soul with eternal existence.
And that's why Jesus said, "He that dwelleth in me, I in him, and I raised him up in the last day for eternity.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, remember the Spirit of God that is given to us is the eternal.
And then we are thinking then we have life. That's what Jesus says, l've come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.
Satan is stealing and robbing and destroying, but I have come that you might have it, life and more abundantly. The Word I speak, they're spirit and they're life.
So brothers and sisters in Christ, when you are saved by His grace, when you are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, when you are filled by the Holy Spirit of God, you are on the journey, on a path for eternity like Enoch. Enoch was taken up , not die. Because since the fall of first Adam, we all fallen. We have got deformed and the second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ came, paid the supreme price, and now the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ is there. He went and redeem all the old testament saints from that.
And then the privilege for you and me to be redeemed. Now up to today, people like Apostles Paul, Peter, James, John, all dead, sleep in Christ along with them many others in the last 2,000 years.
Their bodies are decomposed but their spirit and their soul in the realm of God.
And the day would come when we will be gathered together with them.
They would be the first to be risen from the dead with the glorified body and we who are alive in this mortal body will put on immortality.
Now, brothers and sisters in Christ, when you are filled with the Spirit of God , then your transformation begin to take place.
The transformation will lead to translation.
As Colossians chapter 1:13 says, we are translated. Once the translation is taking place, you cannot go back. You are totally sanctified and fully owned by God.
And that's where at that stage we are transformed, then we begin to walk with God.
You begin to walk with God. I'm better than yesterday.
After 100 years, Enoch looked back and says, "I must advance, progress."
After 200 years, he said, "I must progress and advance."
Like apostle Paul said, forgetting those things that are behind.
After 290 years, Enoch said, "I'm progress. I'm 295. I'm progress and done with her."
And God gives the measurement where Enoch stands.
Do you know God measures you and me all the time and says where we are. That's how God is measuring with tape in his hand, like the plummet in the hand. The plummet in the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ.
"They shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel." Zechariah 4:10
That's the task of the five-fold ministry which is currently operating as Ephesians chapter 4, these ministries consists of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. And these people who call themselves in these offices, they are in the universal church, their one single responsibility is bringing people to the stature and the measure and the fullness of Christ. Yes.
And bring them to the unity of faith and to the knowledge of the Son of the living God. Identical faith of the Lord Jesus Christ.
So, brothers and sisters in Christ , when you are transformed, you begin to think with HIM and breathe with HIM and walk with HIM.
And then when the Word of God come alive into you, continuously translated. And that is where the culmination of thinking currently that the Lord Jesus Christ said very clearly unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life. He that eateth my flesh and drinkketh my blood dwelleth in me. I in HIM, the eagles eating.
Now brothers and sisters in Christ, let me go back to the Romans chapter 14. That's the central theme of that chapter. They are led by the spirit. They are the sons of God. That means they have been filled with the Spirit of God. There's an activation of themselves. As a result, they have been led. They are walking. They are talking and walking and you know everything pleases the Father continuously.
They are the sons of God. They have the title; the sons of the living God.
But, brothers and sisters, let's go to Romans 8, apostle Paul beautifully presents. We need to understand some of the beautiful things that Paul present in the Romans chapter 8, verse one.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Present tense. Here and now reality.
Remember that Jesus Christ once enlightened that prostitute who was brought before HIM and when he told, if among you without sin, and not slept with this woman, cast the stone or left. And Jesus Christ said, neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more. Says here therefore there is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, led by the Spirit.
Now brothers and sisters in Christ, the condemnation who condemns you. There is an accuser of the brethren, continuously condemns you, oh see what he has done. Condemn, condemn, condemn.
Condemned to the prison, condemn to damnation
But, brothers and sisters, he says there is now no condemnation to them that which are in Christ, you and I in Christ, who walk not after the flesh. Remember, not after the flesh but after the spirit because spirit leading us, the spirit leading us, spirit guiding us, spirit kind of really reforming and conforming us.
Verse two, for the law, the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. And that's correct. And that's exactly, brothers and sisters, what apostle John said.
Gospel of John chapter 3 says born again. Born again people. Born again mean that traditional charismatic Pentecostal evangelical use that verse say born again but they forget that's the correct thing what the Lord Jesus Christ told Nicodemus you must be born of God born again to see the kingdom of God born of water and of the Spirit to enter into the kingdom of God but they forget what John wrote in 1 John 3:9, "He that is born of God does not commit sin."
Why? He's sin. The Word of God inside him traveling to every fabric of his body, soul, and the spirit. every atom of his body, every molecule, every cell, all the 248 organs, 600 muscles, 206 bones, the whole fabric of his body, soul, and the spirit. He totally immersed, totally immersed.
Like apostle Paul said. I'm crucified with Christ. My old man. my crooked man, my wicked man, my deformed man crucified.
Nevertheless, I live, not I, it is Christ liveth in me. And the life now I live in the flesh. I live by the faith. Faith of the Son of the Living God, not faith in him, faith of His.
So brothers and sisters, it's beautifully again presented here. Free from the sin.
He says what I could not do, in that it was weak to the flesh. God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and the sin, condemn sin in the flesh. He done that. We do not need to do it. He had done it and that is how we are redeemed.
Verse four, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us. Righteousness of the saints now fulfilling us who walked not after the flesh but after the spirit continuously. He walks with God, the spirit of God, with divine consciousness, divine thinking.
Verse five, for they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the the things of the spirit, mind things of the Spirit.
Things of the Spirit. They are beautifully presented here. But for they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh. But they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
That's all. Understand divine consciousness. Brothers and sisters, continuously divine consciousness, things of the spirit. Things of the spirit.
Further verse six, for to be carnally minded is death, but with spiritual minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity (a state or feeling of active opposition or hostility) against God, for it is not subject to law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. You are continuously pleasing your self, because you are thinking about yourself in the flesh means you are thinking about what you need, what you need to get, where you want to go, what you're continuously cannot please God.
But verse 9, but you are not in the flesh but in the spirit. If so, the spirit of Christ dwell in you. Spirit of God dwells in you.
Now if and I have not the spirit of Christ, is none. Now the spirit of God dwells in me.
Why? Because the spirit of Christ have completely by his name, by his blood has completely washed and cleansed me.
Then verse 10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin. But the spirit is life because of righteousness.
The spirit continuously demonstrating righteousness.
Verse 11, important. But if the spirit of HIM that raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwell in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall quicken in your mortal body, by His Spirit that dwell in you. But we have to overcome. Overcomers.
That's why I says overcoming controversy.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh but to live after the flesh. For if we live after the flesh, we shall die. But if we through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, overcoming.
Then only verse 14 says, whereas they are led by the Spirit, they are the sons of God.
Now, let's go to few other continuous thing. This is a living thing.
Verse 15.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye received the spirit of adoption.
Now we have totally gone through the process. We've been reformed, transformed, translated.
Read the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father , living relationship. Living relationship like Jesus said I will suff with me.
Then verse 16, the spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God continuously affirmation, confirmation continuously we are the sons of the living God or we are the children of the living God.
Then verse 17, if children then heirs of God joint heir with Christ, so be suffer with me shall be glorified together.
We are heirs of God as sons, of joint heirs with Christ.
So how as a result of that inheritance what again revelation 217 inheritance
then he says verse 18, for I reckon the suffering of this present time not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in me. Revealed in us.
Glory that will be revealed when this mortal body, it put on immortality, when this corruption put on incorruption.
When the transfiguration takes place. When I'm lifted to the Presence of God together with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Verse 20, for the creature was made subject to vanity not willingly, but byreason of HIM that has subject same hope the flesh the creature
Verse 21, because of the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into glorious liberty of the children of God.
Glorious liberty. We have a liberty. God has given us freedom but not to do sinful things, but to glorify a body all the time.
Verse 22, for we know that the whole creation and travail pain together until nigh. Painful or laborious effort.
Now Romans 8, verse 23, not only they but we ourself which we have first fruits of spirit even ourself groaning within ourself waiting for the adoption with redemption of body fruits fruitfulness.
Bible talks about the seed of God bringing forth the fruit to perfection.
1Brothers and sisters, again continuing verse 26 onwards. Likewise the spirit also helped our infirmities. For we know not what we should pray, we ought to pray, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for the groaning and groaning which cannot be uttered.
So the Spirit itself also help in our infirmities. That's the difference for the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. Sons of God, we don't know what we require.
Actually, brothers and sisters, I do not pray for various needs for myself or for my family. We are in the spirit. I told my family to be in the spirit all the time.
The efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ covers us. The efficacy of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ protect us.
The efficacy of the Spirit of God transform us.
Efficacy of the Word of God open doors and windows for us all the time.
That's why brothers and sisters that we need to really trust God knows our need before he tells us.
Verse 27, he that search the heart knoweth what is in the mind of the Spirit , because he maketh intercession for saints according to the will of God.
We ask things. No. When you and I intercession means different to prayer. Intercession.
Intercession is this, is exactly thinking with the Father. That's intercession.
Thinking with the Father.
That's what Jesus said. I with HIM. He's up with me. Intercession. Praying. You are sending your prayer.
Intercession. Continuous thinking with the Father, understanding His divine design, desire, demand and fulfilling obedience. That's the obedience. Obedience is not what you do in the morning and then you don't do anything in the evening. No, it's a continuous engagement obedience. That's why brothers and sisters, it is so important here once again.
And he that search his heart knoweth what is in the minds because he certain make intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Will of God. You know brothers and sisters, our God, supreme Living God, Almighty, omnipotent, omnipresent, he sees everything that you see.
He sees everything. He's the Almighty God, the Living God.
And you and I are limited to this mortal body. We are in this mortal body.
Within this mortal body, God has given many things to us conformed to the very image of the Lord Jesus Christ as as our model.
And then not only that, the spirit of God that gives to us, fills us, inside us, in the body. soul and the spirit has a continuous intercession. That intercession is, brothers and sisters, purely understanding the mind of God.
Understanding His design, His desire, His demands and then interceding to that. That is the, brothers and sisters, intercession
Connected to the obedience. Not give and take. Lord give me this. I will give this to you. No. Intercession can be connected to the obedience.
Why? It is the thinking with the living God. Because brothers and sisters, you and I in this human body, we have the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life. We all go through that. So therefore, we need to really overcome when these things come, we need to overcome, when temptation comes. When trials come, we need to overcome them.
We need to overcome the demands of the flesh, the body. So that brothers and sisters with the fear of God, with the divine consciousness, we are fully and completely be obedient child.
It means there is no way that it's non-stop. Enoch walked with God for 100 years and he obeyed God for all those things what God has shown to him and he has to walk another 200 years fulfilling certain things what God shows to him.
Does the Bible say I have not seen, ears have not heard, nor has it felt by the man what God has prepared for them that love him.
So brothers and sisters, the spirit search deeper things and get you that intercession, means that the union, that oneness according to the will of God.
Then some people use this for various things.
But then verse 28, and we know all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose. His purpose, understanding His purpose.
Then he says for whom he did foreknow he also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son. That is the ultimate goal that we need to be translated to the kingdom of His Son. We are waiting for the transfiguration, conformed to the image. That's the responsibility of the five-fold ministry. To bring us to the stature and the measure and the fullness of Christ and the unity of faith and the knowledge of the Son of God , that we might be the first born, that he might be the firstborn among the many brethren, we are the brethren and he the first fruit. More over whom he predestined, them also he called; whom he called, he justified; and whom he justified, he glorified. Brothers and sisters, as glorified. That is where brothers and sisters, we are persuaded.
Now verse 37, there in all these things we are more than conquerors. you overcome through HIM that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, no principalities, no powers, no things present, nor things to come, no heights, nor depths, no creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ, Lord Jesus Christ.
You know brothers and sisters, it is so wonderful that God gives to us His Spirit and that Spirit means when the day of Pentecost came, you know, brothers and sisters, when the Holy Spirit came upon and Jesus said, tarry here till you receive .
And on the day of Pentecost came, when the spirit of God came upon them, the Bible says and the spirit of God gave them the utterance to speak to God in His language. For God to speak to us in His language. We hear what God speaks. Let's read this power.
Acts chapter 2 verse 4. And they all filled with the Holy Ghost, the Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, mean other languages. And the Spirit gave the utterance. And the spirit gave the utterance means Spirit gave the ability. You know brothers and sisters, we are speaking in various languages, human languages.
When the spirit of God comes, you understand the mind of God and you understand how to communicate with HIM. and he with us. The Spirit gives the utterance. The tongue. It says very clearly they filled with the Holy Spirit began to speak in the other tongues, other languages. And the Spirit gave the others and the Spirit gave the utterance. Now this is apostle Paul speaking very beautifully on 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 4 onward. Apostle Paul is telling here , "and my speech and my preaching was not enticing words of man's wisdom but in the demonstration of the Spirit and the power. That is what the Holy Spirit does.
My speech, my preaching was not enticing words of man's wisdom but in the demonstration of the spirit and of power. Then he said, verse five, that your faith should be not stand in the wisdom of men. That's what the denominations have. But in the power of God.
Verse six. How we speak the wisdom among them that are perfect yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the prince of this world, know of the prince of this world that come to know.
Then verse seven, we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. Even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory.
Remember unto our glory. Apostle Paul was very affirmative here. We speak the wisdom of God. That means we are thinking with God. Fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom. Fear of the Lord is beginning of understanding and knowledge. Divine consciousness. And then he says we speak the wisdom of God among them that are perfect. Yet not the wisdom of this world, nor the prince of the world, princes of this world that come to but we speak, verse seven. We speak the wisdom of God in mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world into your glory and my glory for me to be transfigured which none of the princes of this world knew had they known they would not have crucify the Lord of the glory.
Verse nine. As it is written, eyes hath not seen, ears hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for them that love him.
World doesn't know. The Christian denominations doesn't know. Charismatics doesn't know. Pentecostal doesn't know.
Evangelical doesn't know. Branhamite doesn't know. But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit. Spirit searches all things , even the deep things of God.
That's why this Bible is sometimes alien to most of the people. That's the very reason, brothers and sisters, the Lord Jesus Christ said very clearly when people ask about His coming, the first coming to the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ privately. It's a private coming to the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ for their transfiguration.
Jesus said from the east to the west, one end to the other end . One end to the other end, the light meets the revelation. Revelation,
