Two Ways to Prove that You Really Love Christ

Then Comes the Abiding

How does the abiding come into us? God promised that He would abide in us after certain conditions were met. It is a conditional promise. We are not talking about doing something to attain salvation. As a child of the King, we already have salvation. But to grow past spiritual childhood, to have the Spirit grow in us and dwell in us—that is conditional. Christ is saying, “If you really love Me, then you can manifest the agape love that I am. But you must prove to Me that you love Me.”

Two Ways to Prove that We Love Christ

At this growth level, Christ is trying our hearts, to see if He can trust us with His deepest secrets. He desires a clean vessel to pour His Spirit into.

Christ is looking for two criteria. Christ explains the first one: “If a man love Me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come into him and make our abode with him (John 14:23). “If a man love Me…” Here is the first condition. The person that loves Christ will “keep His words.   

If we love Christ by keeping His words, then the Father will love us. And the godhead will come and stay and dwell within us. This is the abiding.

The Father Himself has promised to live in us—if we keep Christ’s words! As we have seen before, the word “keep” is translated from the Greek word meaning “to guard, to preserve.” And the word “words” comes from the Greek word logos, which is the plan and purpose of God spelled out from the beginning. We know that Christ is the Logos, the Word “made flesh” that dwelt among us and still does in the Spirit. Christ is the Purpose enacted for us all to see.

We are told to guard, protect, cherish, and preserve His words, the Logos. We are to watch and guard His eternal purpose, which was with God in the beginning. And His purpose is this: God is reproducing Himself. When we guard the Logos, the Father will love us, and God will abide, stay, and remain in us. That is the abiding.

Why isn’t this happening much more often in the world? Because before you can guard and preserve His eternal plan and purpose, you must know what His plan and purpose is. We are talking about “knowledge of the holy.” Those that love Christ will learn of the Logos.

And that brings us to the second way we show Christ that we love Him. You remember the story. The risen Christ has appeared to the disciples on the shores of Galilee. He asks Peter three times, “Do you love Me?” And Peter says “yes” three times. After each “yes,” Christ says, “Feed my lambs…feed my sheep…feed my sheep.” Christ was saying, “If you love Me, you will be feeding my lambs and sheep” (John 21:15-17).

But feed them what? We are to feed them the truth contained in the Logos. And the Logos is the very “mind of Christ.” From His mind comes His thoughts that reveal His plan and purpose. He wants to use us. Consequently, the Father will prune us like a vine, that we may bear more fruit.

Finally, we love Christ by guarding and protecting the truth, which is the Logos. We must cherish His mind, for it contains the boundless expanse of Love for us His people. He is the hidden treasure that is more precious than gold, diamonds and rubies. We love Him when we feed His lambs and sheep the vision found in His magnanimous heart. It is the vision of hope that He may abide and dwell in us forever.     Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Guarding the Logos

As Christians, we have feelings for Christ. We see His love for us, and it touches our hearts. But do we love Him the way He desires us to? Let us learn from the Master Teacher how to love Him more deeply.

Christ said, “If a man love Me, he will keep my words” (John 14:23). Let’s dive a bit deeper. Let’s focus on the words “keep” and “words.”

“Keep” is translated from the Greek word that means “to guard from attacks.” The word “words” is translated from the word logos. This is the same “logos” used in the famous verse of John 1:1. “In the beginning was the Logos…and the Logos was God.” The logos is the mind of Christ. It is His thoughts and words of His purpose and plan.

Therefore, Christ is saying, If a man loves Me, he will guard the logos; he will guard the Word, the mind of Christ, from any assaults from the enemy. He will stand guard against any attack on His thoughts and His mind. Guarding the logos means not allowing the enemy to sully His purpose and plan.

Starting with Our Own Minds

And it starts with us. First, we must start by guarding our own minds from the attacks of the devil. This entails putting on the “whole armor of God.” We, with the Spirit’s help, must start “casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (II Cor. 10:5). This is guarding the Logos.

Since we are to have the same mind of Christ, we are to guard His thoughts that are developing within our own mind. We do this through purging and pruning away old false concepts about Him. We then begin to share the truth by the Holy Spirit. This truth is found in His thoughts concerning His kingdom.

The mind of Christ is the Logos. It is the whole plan and purpose of God. We are to guard this truth, this Logos, in our own minds and then protect it as we grow spiritually for His sake. He said, “If a man loves Me, he will keep [guard] my words [logos]…” He is saying, The person who loves Me will watch, guard and protect the Logos. He will stand watch and guard the mind of Christ. By this, we show Him our belief and dedication to His cause. This is us abiding in Him.

When we guard the Logos, then something wonderful happens. Christ says, “And My Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him” (Jn 14:23). This is God abiding in us.

First, it is us abiding in Him. This opens the door to Him abiding in us. Again, this glorious presence happens when Christ sees us guarding His logos, when He sees us “keep His words.”

Tired of Playing Church? Hungry to Go Deeper into His Word?

Introduction to the Book The Unveiling of the Sons of God

The thoughts expressed in this book explore the deep things of God—things that can only be spiritually discerned. These things pertain to our perfection and how we get to that perfected state.  These deep things of God explore what He desires to do with us, His sons and daughters, after He takes us to where he wants us to be.  And all of this will be done right here on earth.

This book has been written as a tool for the future manifested sons and daughters of God. Its subject matter is of a mature spiritual nature. It is not for children who are “tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine.” This book is for those who have been called to partake of the strong meat of the word.  It is for those who are tired of “playing church” and want the real plan of God operating in their lives.

The inspired author of the book of Hebrews had much to say concerning perfection, but it was difficult to teach his readers, for they were “dull of hearing” and “slow to learn.” What he had to say was not what they thought in their own wisdom to be true. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food…Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God…Hebrews 5:12; 6:1. NKJV.

And so it is today. If the first principles of Christ’s teachings are not solid as a rock in a person’s life, the deeper things will not be understood by them. The foundation of any house must be solid, built upon the Rock.

This book is for those who have a solid foundation in the first principles of Christ’s teachings: repentance from dead works and faith toward God. It is for those who are “going on unto perfection.”

I can already hear the cries coming forth. Perfection? Did you say perfection? Wait a minute. You are talking about perfection, and I am still grappling with sin in my life? No way. No one can be perfect.

A typical response, and yet, the Savior Himself told us to “be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.” The apostle Paul says that God’s gifts to us were the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. And they are for the “perfecting of the saints…till we all come…unto a perfect man…and no more children, tossed to and fro” (Ephesians 4:11-14).

Many sincere Christians earnestly desire to walk with their Master like this, yet they cannot even think about their own perfection while still grappling with the sin question in their lives. They will justify their circling Mt. Sinai by saying, “Nobody can be perfect. You can’t be like Jesus!” To which I will reply, “Okay, but will you let me be like Paul or Peter or John?” They are the ones that taught us that we are to go on to perfection and not be children anymore in the word.

Yet, many questions abound in many hearts concerning sin. What is sin? What do we do about it in our lives? Can we overcome it in our lives? Is it possible to have the victory over sin while still here on earth? How do these questions relate to “repentance from dead works and faith toward God”?

Qualities of a Teacher of God

How does one discern who is a true teacher of God and a false teacher? First, a true teacher will reveal the eternal purpose of God, which is this: He is “bringing many sons [and daughters] unto glory.” God is reproducing Himself in a chosen group called His elect. They will share God’s vision of our perfection, which is spiritual maturity. It all starts with the conquering of sin and sinning in their life.

Repentance and Faith

God’s teachers will teach “repentance from sin and faith toward God.” These are the first teachings of the “the apostles’ doctrine.” They will expound to the “little flock” all seven of Christ’s doctrines. [For a deeper dive into this subject, I have written a book entitled The Apostles’ Doctrine which explains in depth the seven doctrines of Christ. To receive your copy, send your name, mailing address, and name of the book to my email: wayneman5@hotmail.com It is free with free shipping.]

His teachers will explain how to receive a new heart with a new spirit from God. This new heart obeys God’s Ten Commandments. Breaking them is sin. Unlike most pastors and teachers, they will not try to keep you a sinner. They will not limit God and His power to change us fundamentally at our core. They will show us how to “follow our example” Christ, guiding them through the “cross experience.” They will explain how we die with the sin sacrifice Christ, how we are buried with Christ, and how we are raised to walk in a newness of life–with Christ’s Spirit now within (Rom. 6:1-12).

True teachers will start by telling you that you can be like Peter, James, John, and Paul. They were sinners, all too human, and they were changed by His Spirit. So much so, that many miracles were done by the Spirit through their hands. Nevertheless, there will be many doubters and gainsayers. So, I will ask them this: If you won’t let me be like Christ, is it okay if I be like His apostles? That’s a good enough walk. They healed the sick and even raised the dead. Through their hands the Spirit worked miracles.

Laying the Foundation

God’s teachers will first lay the spiritual foundation on which a Christian is built as a habitation of the Spirit. We are the spiritual temple of God, the place for the Holy Spirit to dwell and abide.

So, what is the foundation of the temple? Later, in Hebrews, the answer is outlined in plain English. “Therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection [maturity], not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works [sin] and of faith toward God” (6:1). These are the first principles of Christ’s doctrine, and they make up the foundation.

Herein lies a real checklist of essential knowledge for the Christian. A God-sent teacher can explain what “repentance from dead works” means. The God-sent office of Teacher is the Holy Spirit speaking through a son or daughter of God. They will explain how the one and only faith is Christ’s faith. There is only one faith (Eph. 4:5). And we are living “by the faith of the Son of God…” (Gal. 2:20). By His faith.

The reason there are not more of God’s teachers is because people lack knowledge of God’s purpose and plan. “For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat” (Heb. 5:12). God wants us all to be His teachers. But how can we be His teachers when we do not have the foundational doctrines of Christ?

The teachings of Christ in Hebrews 6:1-2 are “the oracles of God.” Because most don’t know them, they need to be taught “the milk of the word” and not the “strong meat.” The milk, the beginning foundational teachings, helps one to get stronger and more able to digest the meat of the word. A user of the milk of the word is “unskillful in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them of full age,” for they are able “to discern both good and evil” (5:13-14).

Teachers of God will not only lay the foundation for spiritual growth, but they will also teach us how to grow. For they understand that there are different growth levels in the body of Christ. Moreover, there are different offices of God in the body to help us reach spiritual maturity. The five offices of God are apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher.

These words about His teachers are not meant to doubt the sincerity of any teacher. It is a matter of receiving the hidden wisdom and knowledge from above and then sharing it with those whom He has called. Teaching is all about The Spirit of truth communicating through a vessel, as opposed to a person speaking things about Christ. Big difference. No matter where we stand with God, we must put on humility and learn from Christ. He is the Master and Teacher. He channels His Spirit of truth through humans that He has called into His service.

May our King Yahshua use you as a teacher and prophet. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Living Inside the Spirit of God

{Be sure to like, comment, share and subscribe if this article has helped you. Thanks.}

We spend most of our lives in the Third Dimension of phones and cars and money and jobs. This is, also, the dimension of gray hair and wrinkles, which are harbingers of the earthly body’s expiration date. For that is mankind’s destiny in the 3-D life—death and decay.

This dimension of our earthly life winds up in death. The grey-haired visage in the mirror rudely reminds us of this impending demise. Most await completion of their sad tale.

However, our Creator has subjected us all to this cruel mortality in hope that we will be delivered from these-soon-to-fully-decay bodies (Romans 8:20-23). God will deliver us from this “bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”

And, so, we wait, and this waiting produces more groanings, waiting “for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” In a word, we are waiting for the resurrection. This is the great change when we are raised up and receive our new spiritual bodies (I Cor. 15:52). This happens in God’s Spiritual Dimension. It translates us from the earthy 3-D world to the spiritual world of immortality. Spiritual fathers, who know Him “from the beginning,” will rule the nations with Christ. They will have overcome all growth impediments, and will produce 100-fold fruit.

The Heavenly Dimension for Earthlings

To get ready for this great day of Christ’s return, we must understand the heavenly spiritual dimension, where nothing is impossible to those in Christ. Getting there is being, like John, “in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day.” That is the spiritual place to be, and it is where our Savior wants us. “In the Spirit…” That phrase has been so overused by thousands of preachers that it has lost its meaning. “In the Spirit” literally means “inside of the Spirit.”

Notice that John was inside of the Spirit. The word “in” is translated from the Greek word en; meaning “inside.” [Strong’s number G1722. Thayer’s lexicon: “a preposition…in the interior of some whole…” For example, in Matthew 6:5, the Pharisees were “standing in the synagogue…” They were standing inside of the synagogue.

Being in the Spirit = being inside the Spirit. “God is a Spirit.” He is invisible and omnipresent. “We live, move, and have our being in him” [inside Him]. His presence is in His heavenly spiritual dimension. This is where the miracles flow and nothing is impossible.

God has saved us and given us of his Spirit, and we are “in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.” We are in this great Spirit God, if we have received His Spirit into our hearts. This gives us access to our Father. Before, we did not realize that we are inside of Him, inside of the Spirit. He in us and we in Him (Romans 8:9).

Understanding this opens the gates of agape love’s living waters. “…He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. “…That the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them” (John 17:26).

That is a wonderful oneness that waits patiently for us to believe Him, believe that we are literally inside of Him in His Heavenly Spiritual Dimension. Many call it the Kingdom of God.

Closing Thoughts

“And I will put my Spirit within you…” (Ezk. 36:27). Until we receive our new celestial bodies, we should “walk in the Spirit.” We should walk inside the Spirit (Gal. 5:16).  

In Christ, we are now spiritual beings with the capability of living in God’s spiritual dimension.

My prayer is that these teachings edify you. May you and I walk together in our King’s grace and Spirit. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Shelter of God’s Heavenly Spiritual Dimension

We enter His dimension, and we immediately leave the strife and confusion of the 3rd dimension. Escaping, even momentarily, the struggles of our present earthly existence, we luxuriate in the invisible palace of the Prince of peace.

A refreshing quietness seeps into us upon entering. Yahweh is there, though He remains invisible to our mortal eyes. Yet, we feel safe, as if mystical arms like wings enfold us. He is there with us. We thank Him for watching over us.

He seems to draw closer to us in His dimension. He hovers over His children like a hen gathering her chicks (Matt. 23:37). He said that He is the One that delivers us from all our fears. He is our shield; He parries and thwarts the arrows of our enemies.

Spiritual Enemies

Make no mistake. The enemies of the children of light are spirits that fly invisibly through the air with the wind. These evil spirits are invisible drones, loading our minds with thoughts that come from the wicked one and his dark forces. Satan is the ruler of this world system. And we once walked this earth “according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience…” (Eph.2:2). Through believing, we no longer tread the dark and sinister path.

Satan has been granted license to cause chaos and despair [See Job 1:6 and Psalm 82].  If people remain in the 3-D delusion, they are persisting prisoners, trapped in a five-senses nightmare.

Being “born from above” [“born again” in the KJV], does not completely free us from our 3-D prison. However, it does allow us to see and then to enter the Kingdom of God, which is the heavenly spiritual dimension (John 3:3,5) in which we enjoy and rest. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Sitting With Christ on His Throne!

[Chapter 2 of the Book The Eleventh Commandment]

God’s Purpose Fulfilled

Think about it. “The right to sit with Me on My throne…” These are Christ’s words. Some will overcome all doubts and fears, and He will bid them to come up to the throne and sit down with their King and Creator!

That is a serious promise. There is no greater honor than to sit with Him on His throne. This is it. This is the highest calling that can be attained in the entire universe: to rule with Christ during the Thousand Year Reign.

But those who will sit with Him must first overcome their old nature and any vestiges of it. They must forsake all else, “put their hands to the plow and not look back” to their first worldly life. They must “sell all that they have” and “give, expecting nothing in return.” This is where He rebukes and disciplines those He loves. He commands us to be earnest about these rebukes and to repent. This high calling is the ultimate walk on this earth. This is for all the marbles. There is nothing greater.

Yet God knows our indolence. He knows that we are foolish and are “slow of heart” to believe His word concerning His plan to reproduce Himself in us. He knows that it takes time to get rid of false thinking and to begin to think His thoughts. So He reminds us. He reviews His pur-pose and plan to fulfill it. For He knows that our minds are finite, poorly attuned to the Infinite One’s thought. Our Father said as much. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways…” (Isa. 55:8).

Even when a heart yearns for the truth, when new light dawns, often that heart refuses to believe. And even if the new truth is not rejected by us, it can fade in the darkness of trials and temptations. Such is the word about God’s purpose and His plan to fulfill it. We all need a review of what matters the most to our Father, according to His own thoughts.

His purpose for His creation is to reproduce Himself. You have heard it here before, but until it becomes the lyrics to the song our heart sings, we must hear it again. God is in the process of reproducing agape Love—in us. He will use the human being to do this—not an animal or vegetable or carved pillar of stone.
Because He does all things well, He has an exact plan to accomplish His purpose. He is sovereign and knows what He is doing. To fulfill His purpose, He will fill certain human beings with His Spirit, which is unselfish divine love.

They will be led by His Spirit to seek Him. First, He will place a desire in them to know the truth about our existence on this planet. They will seek for the meaning of life and will give up their old selfish life in ex-change for a ticket to join this spiritual quest. Little by little, their spiritual Father will answer their questions of Who? What? How? When? Where? Why? He will eventually lead them into all truth and help them solve all the mysteries of God.

The Initiation

Their initiation into this new spiritual family will begin at the cross where they will willingly yield up their old sinful selfish life. And from there He may use direct revelation to unveil His plan. But most often He will reach them through His teachers of truth. For they, like the apostles and prophets, are offices of God. They are God’s gifts to His body of believers “for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12). They not only teach true concepts, but also help those coming up to purge out false concepts about the Father and Son.
This relationship concerning the Father and the Son is the key ingredient of knowledge that we need to fulfill God’s purpose in the earth. He will fulfill His purpose of reproducing Himself when He fills you and me with His Spirit of agape Love. The Father calls this the “manifestation of the sons of God.” He will unveil these manifested sons at the end of this age. This is God’s grand gala when He reveals His handiwork. He will use His sons to help rule in His Kingdom, to be fully established here on earth upon His return.
Unlike what many Pentecostal and charismatic voices teach, this filling us up with His Spirit usually comes slowly and deliberately. First, His presence will only come into a clean temple. He will arrive after a proper foundation of sound teachings is laid. These teachings are called “the apostles’ doctrine.” They are the teachings that the early rain apostles had in their hearts. They were Christ’s teachings; His teachings were His doctrine. And His became theirs. [Send for my book The Apostles’ Doctrine. It is free with free shipping. Just send me an email requesting it by name with your mailing address in the USA. If you live overseas, I will send you a pdf. Send to wayneman5@hotmail.com ].

The Spirit Growing

Once we are fed the “milk of the word, which is Christ’s teachings, we begin to grow into inquisitive, spiritually healthy children, growing day by day. “Growing” signifies that the Spirit is growing in us. If we continue through much study and prayer, we will grow up to become strong men and women of God, just like the apostles and prophets.
So, how does the Spirit grow within our hearts? Christ the Master Teach-er has given us several commandments. The first one is the first word He spoke to the crowds. “Repent.” To repent from sin, all must go to the cross and let our old self die with Him. And then we are raised up with Him by believing in His resurrection, now within us. Our belief in His resurrection brings our own resurrection in Him. [All of this is explained in The Apostles’ Doctrine.]
After we get this solid in our hearts, Christ gives us several more “new commandments” to obey. Many of these are found in the four gospels. These will trigger the growth of the Spirit in our hearts. Obeying these “new commandments” is like when you feed your garden rich compost. It jump starts the growth of the Spirit within us. And this Spirit is the Father, and is Love, and is the fulfillment of His purpose of us becoming like the early apostles and prophets and Christ Himself. He said that we would do “greater works” than the miracles that He had performed.
Finally, obeying Christ’s commandments insures His growth in us through His abiding presence in us. “For without [Him] we can do nothing.” Obeying His “new commandments” enables us to obey the 11th Commandment: Love others the way Christ loved all of us. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Finishing the Father’s work

Miracles Performed in the Invisible Dimension

We are chosen by God to finish His works. It is the Father’s will that we do so. “Works” are from the Greek word ergon, meaning “deeds, things done, including miracles wrought.”

The work of God is to “believe upon him whom He has sent.” He does miracles so that we may believe that the Father was and is dwelling in the Son. For only the Father can do miracles through His Spirit and power. So, when miracle power flows through the hands of his sons and daughters, onlookers will know that it had to be God that worked the miracle.

Miracles are sanctioned and performed so that people will believe that God has manifested Himself in human form. That entails salvation, justification, sanctification, and glorification. “The Father loves the Son… and He will show him greater works than these that you may marvel” (John 5: 20).

These miracles are the works that the Father has given to the Son to do. We are spiritual members of His body. Therefore, we are to do those same works/miracles. For the body of Christ is the “fulness of Him that fills all and all (Eph. 1:23). The works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me” (5: 36).

Christ raised up Lazarus from the dead so that the onlookers would believe in Him, and that the Father had sent Christ (John 11: 42, 45).

The miracles were performed to give testimony that the Father sent Christ and dwelt in him fully.  Christ said, “My food is to do the will of Him that sent me and to finish His work.” The Father has sent us to do His works in the earth, also.

His works are the miracles that he has done and will do. But these miracles performed by Christ and us His body are not a fireworks display; they are not something to just “ooh and ahh” over. God has a specific reason for performing them. He is raising us up and will use His elect to finish the Father’s work in the earth.

“To finish” is to complete, to bring to maturity. These works/miracles are done in the invisible heavenly spiritual dimension. When we receive our 100-fold spiritual bodies, we will be fulfilling Yahweh’s purpose of reproducing the agape Love which is himself.

[Thank you for all your support, your “likes” and “comments.” His plan is for us to grow toward maturity and the harvest coming in the “time of the end.” The full expanse of the Kingdom of God is coming, coming more and more strongly in our hearts and mind.

For our fight is a struggle against the spiritual dark forces of an invisible realm that the prophets, apostles and Christ Himself spoke of. These forces are actively trying to prevent us from being what our Father says we are. They work through thoughts; they are unhinged spirits, unleashed into the ether of our 3-D world. They are the rulers and princes of the air. In our battles with them, we must cleave to our Captain who will grant safe passage through “the valley of the shadow of death.” For He is with us, and He is in us and we in Him.]

Keep this spiritual dimension in mind when you read and study the Holy Bible. The scriptures will open a door into your understanding of what our Father intends to do and be, and how you and I fit into His purpose and plan to accomplish all of it.

The Kingdom of the Spirit

Only through the Narrow Gate do we enter the heavenly spiritual dimension. That gate is Christ Himself. Christ said, “I am the door of the sheep…” (John 10:7, 9, 2). We enter through the narrow gate/door into the Kingdom of God (Luke 13:24, 29).

But the phrase “kingdom of God” has lost its meaning through overuse. Every denomination spins it differently. Consequently, what does the Supreme Being’s written word say?

The word “of” has several meanings. The phrase “kingdom of God” can mean “God’s kingdom.” It can also mean “a kingdom comprised of Spirit.” For example, the phrase, “a wall of stone,” says nothing of possession. It means “a wall made of stone.” Therefore, the phrase “kingdom of God” could very well mean a “royal government comprised of Spirit,” as in “God is a Spirit” (John 4:24).

He is an invisible Spirit, and He wants us to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. He wants us to join Him in His spiritual realm called the Kingdom of the Spirit. We cannot worship Him with material accoutrements. We must leave the old world of our five senses and strive to enter His Heavenly Spiritual Dimension. It is prayer that reaches into his heavenly dimension.

The Kingdom of God, then, is the Kingdom of the Spirit. The word “Kingdom” here may be understood as the invisible dimension where both miracles and spiritual battles take place. His Kingdom is a spiritual, invisible world or dimension. We are transported to it by faith. We are carried there by believing that this dimension not only exists, but also has a door or gate. And that door is Christ our Savior. Believing in His death, burial, and resurrection—in our own hearts!—begins the purifying process where we get rid of the old leaven false concepts of God.

Since “God is a Spirit, and is invisible, then the Kingdom of God equals the Kingdom of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the heavenly dimension. It is comprised of God, who is invisible and yet, very near to us.

Knowing this, we should “seek Yahweh while He may be found.” All of us should reach out and find the narrow gate and “come before His presence with thanksgiving.” He abides in that heavenly dimension. He patiently waits for us to believe the report of His apostles and prophets.

John heard the Father in human form. He saw Him with his own eyes and looked upon Him. He touched Him with His own hands (I John 1:1). We will find Him where He is. The King resides in His Kingdom. His future sons and daughters will hear Him, see Him, and embrace Him when they walk with Him in the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension.

At present His followers are being tested by their Father. They should “not think it strange” to have “fiery trials of their faith.” It is all part of His plan. For it is only a purified faith that will enter through the narrow gate. “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us” (Acts 17:27).     Kenneth Wayne Hancock

 [Thank you for all the likes and comments. May our great King Yahshua continue to use you to sow the seeds of the gospel culminating in the harvest of His sons and daughters. We will rule with him in His Kingdom. That is the good news, the gospel. “He came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God” (Mark 1:14). Christ then begins to miraculously heal the multitudes. He was “preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people” (Matt. 4:23). Only in another dimension can these miracles happen.]

Partaking of the Divine Nature by Adding to Our Faith

We are called and chosen by God to be “partakers of the divine nature.” He has given us these “exceeding great and precious promises.”

He has promised us that we can become just like Christ and His apostles. What we are going through at present is not “worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18). God foreknew us and predestinated us “to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brethren.” He then called us and justified us, and he will glorify us (8:29-30).

Those of us with this vision in mind receive this destiny through believing His promise. This is being “partakers of the divine nature” (II Peter 1:4). For this all to happen, God requires that we “give all diligence” (1:10). It is not a cakewalk; it takes a striving and a fighting “the good fight of faith” (I Tim. 6:12).

To secure the promises, we must diligently add to our faith seven major facets of Christ’s divine nature: virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience/endurance, godliness, brotherly love, and agape love (II Peter 1:5-8).

The Spirit through the apostle Peter says that by adding these seven attributes we can make our “calling and the election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall.” There is no other way in scripture that lines it out like Peter does here. He knows; he was there with Christ for most of the miracles. In fact, he worked miracles himself several times.

We will add these things to our faith, if we study them out. Those that study will make “their calling and election sure.” They will grow spiritually and mature like Peter did. They will “bear fruit” like he did. And those who study all this out, and take it to heart, “an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ/Yahshua.” (II Peter 1:11).

This “entrance” is the “narrow gate” and the “open door.” If we study and add the seven additions to the faith, he has promised to grant us an entrance/door/gate that opens into the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension.

[It has been my great honor to have been used by our King to write a textbook that specifically teaches the seven additions to the faith. The title of the book is The Additions to the Faith. It is a 290-page trade paperback, and it does not cost you one dime. It is free with free shipping. Several have wondered how I do this without charging. God has granted me the finances to publish these books. I started a truly non-profit publishing company twenty-five years ago. Some put a $20 bill in the offering tray. My offering is to send a book to my fellow Christians. We must remember that Christ took money off the table. We, therefore, should not sell His holy words. “Buy the truth; sell it not.” Order a copy today by sending me an email. Send your name, mailing address, and title of book to: wayneman5@hotmail.com ]      Kenneth Wayne Hancock
