How To Grow Spiritually by Hiswordxray(m): 5:15pm On Oct 12, 2019
“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.” (John 14:12).

In that verse, Jesus didn’t say anyone who is a pastor, or any Evangelist, or any minister will do the same works. No, he said, “anyone who believes”, he meant that any believer at all. As long as the person is a believer he would do the same works that Jesus did and even greater.

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these miraculous signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.’” (Mark 16:15-18).

Jesus didn't say, "Go preach the gospel and do all these miracles so that people would believe and be saved, and once they believe organize them together, then manage their religious life so that they can make heaven". The idea was not that the ministers will be up there performing all the miracles while we would be down here saying, ‘my pastor… my pastor’.
Rather what Jesus said was that those who believe, these miraculous and supernatural signs shall follow them, they will lay hand on sick people and healing would come, the would cast out demons, they would eat poisonous things and not die, in fact supernatural things would just be happening all over their lives. In that verse Jesus didn’t make a comprehensive list of all the supernatural things that will happen in our life, he only mentions a few to give us an idea of what he has in mind. So what exactly does he has in mind? What did he envision for the believers?

What Jesus had in his mind was that his disciples would preach the gospel, then those who believe will begin to have all these supernatural things happening in their lives, anywhere they go they will have the miraculous following them. If a believer finds himself in a place where someone is suffering illness there would be a miraculous healing. If he finds himself among people aimlessly looking for purpose and direction in life then God's voice will be heard, His heart would be revealed, clarity would come and direction will be given.

If he finds himself in a place where there is little food and very many people, then food would multiply, or provision would be made in one miraculous way or the other. This would be true for every believer, the miraculous will follow each and every one of them anywhere they go. That was what Jesus envisioned for us, yet today we are not seeing this happen. However, Jesus has made provision to ensure that he gets the Christianity that he envisioned.

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, FOR THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:” (Eph 4:11-13).

Now that scripture didn’t say the pastors, evangelist, apostles, prophets, and teachers are meant to be ministering to us. Rather it said they are to build us up and perfect us so that we can do the work of the ministry. No, not the gifted men doing ministry, but common believers, trained and perfected for the ministry. Jesus knew that we would need training to be able to access the supernatural and have it manifesting more frequently in our lives, that is why he provided us with these gifted. Sadly, ignorance has made these gifted men believe that their job is to do ministry and manage our religious life till we die and probably make heaven.

This course is designed to equip the believers to fulfill the kind of Christianity that Jesus envisioned for us, a Christianity where God can easily express himself through each and every Christian. He can speak (prophecy) through any believer, heal the sick through any believer, work out miracles as long as there is a believer present.

This course will involve intimacy with God, knowing His heart, become one with His heart, expressing His heart towards other people, becoming acquainted with the mind of God, being able to know His mind for you and for others (this involves the prophetic), becoming one with the divine nature of God, growing in the character and righteousness of God, overcoming sin, becoming one with the power of God and learning to release it, walking in the same faith that Jesus had when he did those miraculous works etc.

It would be very practical, not filled with plenty of unnecessary rhema and big grammar. It involves practical exercise which means a lot of participation and hard work for those interested, so it is not going to be easy.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN
—It would transform your relationship with God and help you get more intimate with Him.
—The goal is to help develop you into spiritual maturity where you are filled both with the fruits of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit.
—It would cause you to experience a Christian life that is greater than your widest image (trust me, I can assure you of this).
—It is completely free

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T JOIN
You should not bother to join...
—If Christ is not your greatest pursuit
—If your spiritual growth is not the most important thing in your life
—If you are not ready to give your time and energy in exploring the riches of Christ

We are so busy pursuing so many things without realising that a lot of things would be resolve if only we attain spiritual maturity. Why is there so much evil in the world, isn't it because of the flesh, its greed and perversion? This ugly thing in man is the root of every problem that man faces, a lot of things would be much easier if this flesh can be put to death. So I laugh when I see Christians leaving the urgent need to deal with the flesh through spiritual maturity, and then they go trying to deal with other things in their lives with that ugly man inside of them causing more and more problems.

It is a rat race. You solve one problem and the flesh creates two more problems, then you say to yourself, "let me first solve this problem, then I will come back to deal with the flesh". But in solving that problem it your flesh 4 more problems are created. The flesh is just reckless, all it can produce is death, and until we deal with it we would continue endlessly in this rat race. So what is the most important thing in your life right now? If it is your spiritual growth then you are welcome to join this course.

EXERCISING TO ATTAIN THE FULLNESS THAT IS YOUR INHERITANCE

The truth is that God has given us all things in Christ, we are blessed with all the spiritual blessings in the heavenlies (Eph 1:3). In Christ you are already in heaven seated with God and beholding His face, it's just that you are not yet awaken to this reality in your flesh. There is no need begging and asking God for something He has already given you in Christ. Instead you should be rejoicing and praising Him for this wonderful reality.

To be awakened to this reality in your flesh only needs pressing in. It requires exercising your flesh to experience the reality of the Spirit. Begging God to give you these things is like a body builder begging God to give him large muscles. The potency to have large muscles is already in him, it has been given to him through Adam, now all he needs is exercises that would bring out that reality made available to him through Adam.

“And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” (1Cor 15:45).


Christ is the new Adam, and through Him God has provided for us the potential to see Him, in fact we already see Him in our spirit, we only need to work out this reality in our flesh through exercises in fellowship with the Holy. All you need is to know the exercise you need to practice and develop a lifestyle of practicing the same way a body builder will develop a lifestyle of going to the gym.

It is not going to happen like magic, it would take time. You do not attain large muscles by spend just one day in the gym. No matter the kind of exercise you do it will not happen, in fact it would look like nothing is happen. You will look at your body and you will not feel your muscles have increased, but continue that way, develop a lifestyle of going to the gym, let it become an hubby even though if you hate exercise, then over time you will begin to see changes on your body, so it is with the things of the spirit. All that you need is exercise and these exercises are the things I would be sharing with the student in my course (Oneness With God).

Just as one would need a couch or personal trainer in the gym, you also need an expert, one with the knowledge and experience to decide for you the kind of exercise that you need (base on your unique situation) to attain these spiritual things. Our flesh is structure differently, some people, due to the way they are in the flesh (not because of any spiritual reason) would easily attain certain spiritual things. For example, I am a kind of person who pays more attention to his thoughts and the things going on in his head than the things in the outside world. Because of this it was easier for me to know and recognize God’s voice, in fact before I got born again I could already recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit persuading me to give my life to Christ so he could come inside of me. No, it wasn’t because I have some special calling, but because of the way I am structured in the flesh.

So some people might easily attain certain spiritual things faster than other, and you might struggle in attain certain spiritual things, but that doesn’t mean it is not for you. The fullness of God is our right as sons, it is our inheritance, everything is for you. You only need to know the kind of exercise that that will help you attain that thing despite the way you are structured in the flesh. Just as in the gym some people are fatter and need more exercise, while some people need specific kind of exercise because of specific reasons. For example one may go to the gym because he wants a flat or muscular belly. It would be foolish if this person invest his/her time in the gym doing the exercise of those looking to have a bigger chest or arms. His/her goal would be easily achieved if he knows the specific exercise for getting a flat or muscular belly, and if energy is focuses more on doing this exercise.

The point I am trying to make is that you can attain these spiritual things, it is your right as a son. You only need exercise.
