GOD IS "NOT" HUMAN, BUT SPIRIT
HELLO, MET GOD,
THE HOLY SPIRIT
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). God is HOLY. “… I AM HOLY…”
(1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV). “… “I AM WHO I AM
…”
(Exodus 3:14-15 NASB). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…”
(Malachi 3:6 KJV).
*
“…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…man
became a living soul (soul)…”
(GENESIS 2:7 KJV). God is Spirit and so are HIS WORDS. “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…THE
WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto
you, they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). “… His
name (Jesus) is called The
Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).
Jesus, the WORD,
which is also SPIRIT, has the POWER to BOND and JOIN the Holy Spirit and man’s
SOUL together again like God FIRST created them. “….LET US MAKE man … after
our likeness…” (Genesis 1:26 KJV). “…in his OWN image…..male
and female created
he them…” (Genesis 1:27 KJV). “…And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground (body),
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (Holy Spirit); and man became a
living soul (soul)…”
(GENESIS 2:7 KJV).
“….God saw every thing he had made……and, behold, it was very good…”
(Genesis 1:31 KJV).
God, the
HOLY SPIRIT desires to share this unique “oneness” with “HIS” people AGAIN.
He makes a WAY (salvation) by grace through faith in or dependency upon Jesus
Christ, the WORD of God. “… [THE WORD]… It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes (WHO DEPENDS UPON JESUS, HIS WORD)…”
(Romans 1:16 NLT).
“…And I, if I (Jesus, the Word) be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
unto me….” (John 12:32 KJV).
“…This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him
(depend upon HIM)...”
(John 6:28-29 KJV). “…The Father (God, the Holy Spirit) …
he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV). “…BY GRACE have ye been SAVED THROUGH FAITH…” (Ephesians 2:8-9
ASV). .“…Faith cometh by hearing … THE WORD of God...” (Roman 10:17 KJV).
“…The grace
of our Lord was poured out on me (or transferred to me) abundantly, ALONG WITH FAITH (the power to depend upon God) … that are “IN” (OR COMES WITH UNITING OR BEING RESTORED to) Christ Jesus (the WORD)…” (1 Timothy 1:13-14 NIV). “… God
has sent forth the Spirit of His Son (the WORD) into
[your]… hearts (part of the SOUL (non-physical)...”
(Galatians 4:6 NASB).
When you are SEALED, BONDED, and UNITED with God through
his INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT “YOU”… “…[BECOME] … ONE; even as ..[the] Father… [is] in [Jesus]
(the WORD, which is SPIRIT) and [Jesus, the Word is] in [Him] (God, the Holy
Spirit), that [YOU] also may be in [ONE OR UNITED AGAIN THROUGH the SPIRIT], so
that the world may believe that [God] sent…[HIS WORD[…” (John 17:21-23
NASB).
This Holy “ONENESS” is the joining of man’s soul and God’s Holy Spirit through Jesus, the WORD. GOD
RESTORES MANKIND “BACK” TO THE ORIGINAL CREATED “IMAGE.” What can MAKE mankind spiritually WHOLE
again, spiritually ALIVE, and RESTORE them BACK to God’s original image?
The
answer: the Holy Spirit; the indwelling
HOLY SPIRIT? “…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “…The Holy
Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE …” (John 3:6 NLT). “….Apart from [the HOLY SPIRIT], you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). Only the “breath of life” or “the HOLY
SPIRIT” can return mankind BACK to God’s original, created “image” and “likeness” that was ONCE so VERY good? “…Jesus Christ maketh
thee whole [again]…” (Acts 9:34 KJV).
“….LET US MAKE man … after our likeness…”
(Genesis 1:26 KJV). “…in his OWN image…..male
and female created
he them…” (Genesis 1:27 KJV). “…And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground (body),
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (Holy Spirit); and man became a
living soul (soul)…”
(GENESIS 2:7 KJV). “….God saw every thing he had made……and, behold, it was very good…”
(Genesis 1:31 KJV). “…If
any man be in Christ,
he is a NEW
creature …” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “… [because] … all things are … [MADE] … NEW…”
(2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV). “…I will put a new
spirit in you. …”
(Ezekiel 36:26 NLT).
“…God has given
[you] HIS [holy] Spirit as PROOF that
… he [dwells]…in [you].” (1 John 4:13 NLT). “… I AM HOLY…” (1
Peter 1:14-16 KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1
John 4:4-8 KJV).
god, the holy
spirit of love proves his existence by revealing himself and confirming his
word through jesus christ. “…He said to [them].., "You are My
Servant, Israel (HIS PEOPLE), In Whom I will show (express, reveal, confirm, etc.) My GLORY
(MY HOLY EXISTENCE)…” (Isaiah 49:3 NASB). “….The
Word (Jesus) became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we [can see] His (God’s) GLORY (HOLY
PRESENCE upon EARTH)…” (John 1:14 NASB).
“…God anointed
Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Ghost and WITH POWER:
who went about doing good, and healing
all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD WAS WITH HIM. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the
Jews and in Jerusalem…” (Acts 10:38-39 KJV). “…God is Spirit …” (John
4:24 KJV). Jesus SAID: “…I do
nothing of myself…”
(John 8:28 KJV). “…the Father (God, the Holy Spirit) that dwelleth in me, he
doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “… I AM HOLY…” (1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1
John 4:4-8 KJV).
god, the holy
spirit works “in” you (by joining himself to you) in order to intimately
express his love. “…God’s
love has been poured out INto
our hearts (a non-physical part of man’s SOUL)
through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us…”
(Romans 5:5 NIV). “…The Spirit of God dwell[s]… in (is joined to) you (your
soul)…”
(Romans 8:9 KJV).
“ …
[You] … have this treasure in (DWELLING
WITHIN) earthen vessels, that the excellency of the POWER
may be of God, and not of us...”
(2 Corinthians 4:6-7 KJV). “… Jesus Christ is in
(INDWELLED WITHIN) you (your SOUL)…” (2 Corinthians KJV). “…the Spirit of God dwelleth in (DWELLS WITHIN) you (your SOUL)”
(1 Corinthians 3:16 KJV). “…your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in (DWELLED WITHIN) you (your SOUL)…”
(1 Corinthians 6:19 KJV). “…I will dwell in
(DWELL WITHIN) them (THEIR SOUL)…” (2 Corinthians 6:16 KJV).
“… We now have this light shining in our hearts (part of the SOUL), but we ourselves are
like fragile clay jars containing this great
treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is
from God, not from ourselves…” (2 Corinthians 4:7 NLT). God said: “…I will
put a
new spirit in you (BY INDWELLING WITHIN the soul).
…” (Ezekiel 36:26 NLT). “
…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).
“…God is love…” (1
John 4:4-8 KJV). “…The Spirit of God dwell[s]… in
you (DWELLS WITH the SOUL)…”
(Romans 8:9 KJV).
Let’s do a little review on the SOUL. THE SOUL is the REAL YOU. The soul is the authentic
self. The authentic self includes the emotions, affections, appetites,
conscience, personality, and HEART/THOUGHTS (command center of the SOUL). The heart/thoughts
are the command center of the SOUL.
The soul’s HEART/THOUGHTS listens to, or
teams up with, or agrees with, or is influenced by either the indwelling Holy Spirit or the outward sinful nature to
live-out, follow, or practice certain lifestyles. “…If
two … shall agree on earth as
touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father
which is in heaven…” (Matthew 18:19 KJV).
“....Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3 KJV).
The HEART/THOUGHTS are initially
influenced completely by the sinful nature and require TRANSFORMATION. “…Be transformed by the renewing of your mind [The command center of YOUR
SOUL)….” (Romans 12:2 KJV). T
he body, soul, and God’s Holy Spirit were once ONE UNIT or in a SPIRITUAL union or
covenant relationship TOGETHER. In the beginning man’s heart/thoughts were
TOTALLY influenced by God’s Holy Spirit.
Man’s heart/thoughts were HOLY (set apart and totally FREED from sin). Before
SIN entered into the world, mankind ONCE had the FREEDOM to choose to follow
God’s HOLY instructions and only had ONE choice to make: to obey.
But after
FREELY choosing to be led away from God, the Holy Spirit’s commandment they
became separate from him by following after the enticements of the BODY/FLESH.
Following after the enticements of the BODY/FLESH led
them away and separated them from God, the Holy Spirit and his image. THE SOUL
AND SPIRIT HAVE A METAPHYSICAL LIKENESS. However, “… [their] … iniquities (sin) …separated [them]… from God… …” (Isaiah 59:2 KJV).
It is the
Holy Spirit who EMPOWERS man’s SOUL to be FREE from SIN. Their FREEDOM to
choose to follow God’s Holy instructions was LOST to the EVIL ONE.
The EVIL ONE
was now the MASTER of man’s SOUL through their OWN body/flesh. “….When you offer
yourselves to someone as obedient slaves (to willfully follow them), you are slaves of the one you obey
(follow)…” (Romans 6:16 NIV). “…I
am …. a slave to sin.. …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).
They NO
longer had the SPIRITUAL ABILITY TO “CHOOSE” holiness. WHY? “…and
SIN, when it is finished, BRINGETH FORTH DEATH
(Spiritual death)…” (James 1:13-15 NLT). “…The trouble is with me, for I am all too human (now), a slave
to sin … I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it.
Instead, I do what I hate. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in
me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me,
that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…The sinful
nature
is always
hostile to God . It never
did obey God’s laws, and it never will.
…” (Romans 8:1-14 NLT).
“…In the beginning
was the Word…
(John 1:1-4 NASB). “…THE WORDS … they ARE SPIRIT (God)…” (John 6:63 KJV). “…GOD IS
SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). “…[Adam and Eve]… heard the
voice of the Lord
God …” (Genesis 3:8 KJV). “…BY THE
WORD of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of
His mouth all their host…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).
God SPOKE the world into
existence and he SPOKE to Adam and Eve. His VOICE was audible and it sounded as
if he was WALKING in the garden. “… [Adam and Eve]… heard
the voice of the Lord God walking
in the
garden in the cool of the day …” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
However,
and in addition to HEARING his VOICE “walking” “IN” the garden, Adam and Eve HID
themselves from his PRESENCE. “… [Adam and Eve]… heard
the voice of the Lord God walking
in the
garden in the cool of the day …and hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst trees of the garden…” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
“…GOD IS
SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). When God STARTED creating the world his SPIRIT “…moved upon the face of the waters…and [then] God SAID….”
(Genesis 1:2-3 KJV). “…The
invisible [Spirit]…from the creation of the world …[was] ...clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made…”
(Romans 1:20 KJV).
God’s SPIRIT is “clearly
SEEN” by the things MADE which means the VOICE of the SPIRIT moved through
the GARDEN and MADE a walking SOUND. “… [Adam and Eve]… heard
the voice of the Lord God walking
…” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
Regardless of
HOW, God’s voice was heard WALKING or MOVING through the garden. God’s, who is
SPIRIT, VOICE was HEARD. “… [Adam and Eve]… heard
the voice …” (Genesis 3:8 KJV).
God
SPEAKS to his people through Jesus, HIS WORD, which is SPIRIT. “…THE
WORDS THAT I (Jesus, the WORD) SPEAK
unto you, they
ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV). WHY ARE GOD’S WORDS SPIRIT? “…God is Spirit…” (John
4:24 KJV). “… “I AM WHO I AM…”
(Exodus 3:14-15 NASB).
AND God also confirms HIS WORD through signs, wonders,
and miracles, such as SALVATION, TRANSFORMATION, and CONFIRMATION. “… [GOD]… moved upon the face of the waters…and [then] God SAID…”
(Genesis 1:2-3 KJV).
God MOVES today, which is CLEAR by the things MADE. “…If any man be in (united to)
Christ, he is a
[MADE into a] NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS are
become NEW…” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).
The indwelling
HOLY SPIRIT is God’s WAY of bonding and connecting to his people once they
are SAVED by the POWER of his WORD. “… [The WORD
of GOD]... is the power of God at work (through the CONFIRMING work of the HOLY SPIRIT), saving everyone who believes (depends upon the word)…”
(Romans 1:16 NLT
“…God has given [you] HIS [Holy] Spirit
as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in
[you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT “…God … SENT forth the [Holy] Spirit of His Son “INTO” [Y]OUR…
HEARTS (SOULS)…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB).
God’s indwelling Holy Spirit RETURNS to
REUNITE mankind’s SOUL to “HIS” HOLY SPIRIT again. God “….made [your (soul)]…
ALIVE with
Christ (the WORD)… …” (Ephesians 2:5 NIV). “…May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you (your soul)
holy and whole [BY PUTTING] you together [again]—[with
HIS HOLY] spirit, [ and your] soul, and body …” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
MSG).
God, the HOLY SPIRIT comes to
dwell in YOU by REUNITING with your SOUL in a covenant relationship. “…The [Holy] Spirit of God dwell
in you (dwelled within you)…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).
“…Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you (reunited to you)?” (1 Corinthians 3:16
KJV). “…God hath said, I will dwell in them
(dwell within them), and walk in them (display himself “in” and “through” them);
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people…” (2
Corinthians 6:16 KJV). However, “…God is not human …” (Numbers 23:19 NIV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…”
(John 4:24 KJV). “…God
is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
god,
the holy spirit, AND the perfect soulmate; completes you. “…May
God himself, the
God who makes
everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole
[and] put (or UNITE) you together [AGAIN]—with [God’s HOLY] spirit,
[your] soul, and body …” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 MSG). “…Jesus
Christ is in you (joined to your SOUL)…”
(2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…Jesus
Christ maketh thee whole (HOLY)…” (Acts 9:34 NLT). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).
“…God is LOVE…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).
god, the holy spirit transforms your nature because you
“now” belong to him. “…Ye
shall be
holy unto me:
for I the Lord am holy…” (Leviticus 20:26 KJV). “…Jesus Christ (the WORD, which is SPIRIT) is in you (joined to
you)…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…That’s
why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never
please God. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are
controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not
have the Spirit of Christ living in them
do not belong to him at
all.)….” (Romans 8:8-11 NLT). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…God is LOVE…” (1
John 4:4-8 KJV).
god, the holy
spirit makes you holy (sets you apart & totally frees you from sin). “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you SHALL be free indeed…” (John 8:36 KJV). “… I AM HOLY…” (1 Peter 1:14-16 KJV). “…be
holy, because
I am holy…” (1 Peter 1:16 KJV). “…you are
… A HOLY NATION…” (1 Peter 2:9 NASB). “…by the Grace of God … [you are what you are (holy)] …” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
