The Pinnacle of Spiritual Growth—The Abiding

[Dive deep with me into the secrets of the Spirit of Truth. Let us light upon the flowers of His garden and not flit onto the deceptive blossoms of the tares.]

The abiding is the apex of the spiritual life cycle. When God abides in you, you cease to feel bound up in the prison of your earthly body. God’s desire is for us to surrender and let His Spirit take up residence in our hearts and minds. This is the ultimate growth that His elect will reach. Those who are chosen for this honor will read on.  

Conversely, a 30-fold child of God wavers and is “tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine.” They do not have their “senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14). They have need to be taught again the “first principles of the doctrine of Christ.” Spiritual “young men” and young women are walking in these principles. These are contained in the apostles’ doctrine (Heb. 6:1-2) [The book, The Apostles’ Doctrine, is available without price here: Ordering My Free Books in Paperback | Immortality Road].

Misconception of the Godhead

Children of God can’t grow very fast when they are bogged down with false concepts about God. That is why Christ in His first words to audiences, commanded them to repent of false teachings. Top on the list of false concepts is the misconception of just what the godhead is.

You could take a poll with this question: “If you could see into heaven’s throne room, how many gods would you see sitting up there? Most proclaiming Christians would say two or three–persons. This is the fruit of the trinity doctrine.

However, the Word says that there is only one God. The Spirit cries out to us: “Hear, O Israel: the LORD [YHWH] our God is one LORD” (Deut. 6:4). Only One. But many would ask, How can that be? You have the Father, the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit. It looks like three. Yes, great is the mystery of godliness.

The Father Yahweh is an invisible Spirit (John 4:24). One Spirit. He inhabits the Son of God. “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself” (II Cor. 5:19). The Father shows Himself through the Son. When you see the Son do something wonderful, it is the invisible Spirit Yahweh doing it. All the miracles Christ performed were really done by the Father Yahweh who abode [dwelled] in the Son.

Everything that the Son of God did, it was not him doing it. The Son said that it was the Father inside of him doing the miracles. Christ’s fleshly body was the veil that concealed the Father who dwelled inside of him. “No man comes unto the Father, but by me,” Christ said. “The fullness of the godhead dwelt bodily,” the Spirit through Paul said.

No wonder Christ said, “It is expedient that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will send him to you (John 16:7). We have seen that the Comforter is the Spirit of truth (John 14:6-17).

And we know that the Holy Spirit of truth is the Father. Why? Because the Son said that the Father is inside the Son. Christ said, “…The Father that dwells in me” (John 14:10).

Consequently, Christ at the Last Supper said that he had to finish the job he had to do, and then leave, for this purpose: He had to go so that the Father, the Holy Spirit, could come and enter the apostles’ bodies. Yes, the Father is the Holy Spirit!  Remember these words spoken by the Son? “God is a Spirit.”

The Promise of the Father

For “the fullness of the godhead dwelt bodily” in Christ’s body (Col. 2:9). Therefore, the Son contained the fullness of deity. After the ascension of Christ, the disciples waited “for the promise of the Father” (Acts 1:4). The Father was the promise; the Father came down at Pentecost and baptized those assembled in the upper room—with the Holy Spirit and fire. “Our God is a consuming fire.”

That is what Christ confirmed. “Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work [the miracles]” (John 14:10).

The crux of the matter is this: If you can’t believe that the Father dwelt in the Son and did the works, then you will never believe that the Father could dwell in you and do the miracles that Christ said we would do. He promised that we would do greater miracles than what he had done. That’s what he said.

Getting this right is so important for your spiritual growth. One must repent of any doctrine that pushes aside the truth of who God is. The Father is Yahweh, and He dwells in the glorified form of the Son of God. He dwells in the dimension we call heaven. Getting this right is so important that Christ pleads with us all: “Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works sake” (John 14:11-17). Kenneth Wayne Hancock

[You are called to dive deeply into His teachings. To do that effectively, you must slow down and savor His word, for Christ is the living Word (Logos). Christ is the purpose and plan of God. He wants us to study—not jump from here to there in His word. It helps to slowly read aloud words of truth found in the scriptures and in His teachings. This wards off alien thoughts, those careless interlopers who interrupt our sacred time with God. Time is growing short. Pray that Yah would send forth laborers into His great harvest.]

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

How He Rids Sin from Our Lives

[An excerpt from the “Introduction” of the book The Unveiling of the Sons of God]

Our old sinful nature must die with Christ, our sin sacrifice, on the cross with Him. How do we get rid of the old heart that breaks the Ten Commandments? How does God eradicate sin in our lives? 

For the answer to the sin problem is the knowledge that we have everything we need to completely overcome it in Him. He is the head of all powers in heaven and in earth. He has power over evil spirits and wicked intents. He is totally in control of Satan, who is the prince and power of the air. Satan could only do what God allowed him to do in the first chapter of the book of Job. When His Spirit lives within us, then we have everything needed to completely overcome sin in our life. And you are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power.  Colossians 2:10.

He conquers sin in us when we just believe by faith that He has taken out our old hearts and given us new hearts.  When we believe the word of His apostle that He has performed a spiritual operation on us, we are delivered from sin. For through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, God has performed an invisible spiritual operation on our old carnal heart and has gotten rid of our old sinful nature thereby.  The operation is a spiritual circumcision. “Circumcision” means “cutting all the way around.” First, He cuts our old sinful heart out, all the way around. Then we are buried with Him in the baptism into His death. In God’s eyes, He buries you with Christ, interring our old carnal nature with the sacrificial Lamb. Then, we believe that we are raised up with Him to walk in a brand-new life with His Spirit as our life within.

This is all by faith. We cannot see Christ literally dying and being buried, and we cannot see our old carnal, sinful self die, either.  We must simply believe having not seen these things, receiving this truth by faith.  When we do this, God looks on us with approval, for faith pleases God. “In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, buried with him, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you…hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses” (Colossians 2:11-13).

Belief in the Resurrection is the Key

Our victory hinges on our faith in the resurrection of the Savior—not just that the resurrection historically happened, but that along with Him, we were raised up from the dead as well. Then we can believe that we, too, can “walk in a newness of life.”  We can then believe in His resurrection in us! His resurrection is our resurrection, for it is now Him living in us. All we have to do is believe it.

Our belief in this truth puts us right with God. He looks down on us and says, “Well done,” and then He imputes our belief as righteousness onto our account with Him. He “reckons” us as righteous. He counts us righteous in His sight, apart from our clamoring around trying to keep the law. Only Christ can keep the law. Therefore, when we believe that it is Him living in us, we then in God’s eyes are right with Him.  We believe having not seen with our eyes, and this pleases God.

We can never please Him by trying to clean up our old carnal nature and thereby trying to keep the ten commandments on our own strength. This does not please Him, for it cuts Him out of the action and does not acknowledge Him for our deliverance. It is an attempt to clean up our lives without Him and His way of doing it. After realizing that we cannot keep the law successfully, we must confess our sins and surrender to our own deaths.  We must put our old lives on the cross with Christ.

We then believe in God’s word when He says He will give us a “newness of life” where old things are passed away and where all things are become new.  How can we fulfill that if we are still a slave to sin and sinning? This newness of life comes as we believe that it is in us. All we have to do is believe what has already been done by Him for us.  We cannot “do” anything for this new life. It is a gift from Him. We can do nothing for this new life, except believe in what Christ has done for us, and now in us.

For the culminating spiritual feat of Christ is Him coming down into our inner being, giving us a new heart, a new spirit. This is what God wants for us—a new life. But it won’t come by us working for it. It will not come as a reward but as an undeserved gift. All of our striving here on earth to “do this” and “don’t do that” in order to please Him will never work. For the deeds of the old-natured man cannot please Him. It is our walk of faith as Christ in us doing this or that—that is what pleases God. We must die to bring the life of Christ to life within us. This is what God looks down on and is pleased. In His eyes, this is what really counts.

And yet, this is only the beginning. This right state with Him is just the first step on the road to completeness in Him—on the road to full spiritual maturity, which is the perfection that Christ spoke about.

Since we are now risen with Him, we are in a position to seek those things that are above.  If we listen carefully, we just may be able to hear Him say, Come, let me show you a more perfect way… [Send for my book, The Unveiling of the Sons of God.

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

In the beginning was the Seed

In the beginning was the Seed, the Word, the Logos. And the Seed was God. And God was Yahweh. He existed in a spiritual Seed. And inside the Seed was the spiritual DNA of God Yahweh/himself. The Seed contained His thoughts, intents, and His plan.

This was at the beginning, the arche, which is the beginning of all things. This Greek word translated “beginning” does not mean the beginning of a movie or the beginning of starting college classes. No, this is the beginning before anything else was. This is at the very beginning of all things. We know this because the same exact word, arche, appears in John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word [Logos], and the Word was God.”

The whole purpose and plan of God is written in the Seed, the Logos. And this intent and plan was all in a spiritual Seed. “In the beginning was the Word,” the Seed. This truth unlocks the doors of understanding. “And the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.”

God’s very nature of unconditional love was in the DNA of the Seed. That is who he is—unconditional love. That is the record. But that agape love laid unfulfilled and dormant until it could show and give testimony as to how the greatest Love operates. It would be a grand witness, but a witness to whom? There was no one to show how agape manifests itself.

Creating Mankind

So, inside the Seed’s spiritual DNA, was the plan to create mankind. These human beings would have His spark; they would be able to feel, respond, and react to God’s plan. He created them to be predisposed to follow the green light of His beckoning. And He would bring them into being with the purpose of becoming witnesses of His glory. However, they would have to first fall and succumb to sin, and then God would save them.

Through this process, God would show His incomparable love to both these humans and to the angelic beings in heaven. “God’s purpose in all this was to use the church [us] to display His wisdom…to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places,” thus, bringing a oneness to both of God’s families—the one in heaven and the one in earth.

The great Spirit Yahweh would send the Seed down in a word into a virgin, and she would believe, thus conceiving and bringing forth the Son of God. He would be human but would be engendered by the righteous Seed of Yahweh His Father.

Now Yahweh has His Son, and His Son would lay his earthly life down unto death, thus showing the world the greatest love. “Greater love hath no man than this, that he would lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13). Christ considers all who believe this testimony His friends. He has opened the prisons of death and despair. He has provided the way to redemption and glory for fallen man–if they but believe His report.

It takes faith to be assured of God’s promises to us, especially when the only tangible evidence of His testimony being true is invisible. Walking by faith is believing without seeing him in this 3-D world. It takes a heart reaching out into the heavenly spiritual dimension. That heart is the good ground that will bring forth 30-fold, 60-fold, and 100-fold fruit—fruit that will be used to edify others in his Kingdom of righteousness (Matthew 13:1-23).

Finally, in the beginning, all things did not start with a Big Bang. Everything started with the Seed. And what is the Seed? The Seed is He, the living Word/Logos, and He contains all the wisdom and knowledge that will always be. For “in the beginning was the Word.”

And “the parable is this: the seed is the word of God” (Luke 8:11). Therefore, “In the beginning was the Seed, the Logos, the word of God. Inside the very beginning of all things–before there were the heavens and the earth, there was the Seed. And that Seed was Spirit. And that Seed was the Word/Logos. And that seed was Yahweh. And that Seed “was made flesh and dwelt among us.” And that Seed fell into the ground and died as the sacrifice for our sins. He forgave us, loving us and showing us the greatest love, thus showing us what God is. He is Love. For that Seed is the word of Love. The Logos, the Word, is the logical rendering of what was, what is, and what shall be.  

[I know this is strong meat. But embrace this knowledge, for it is vital to our spiritual growth. The apostle John wrote, “I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him that is from the beginning” (I John 2:13). “Fathers” are Christians who have fully matured producing fruit “one hundred-fold.” They have had mysteries of the beginning cleared up by Him (Rev. 3:14-22).

These are the overcomers of this last Laodicean church age. Those who overcome will be invited to sit with Christ on His throne! This is not an empty promise. We have a chance to be called up to the Major Leagues! This honor will only go to those who have studied and have run the race, a race of endurance that ends in His arms. He is revealing more and more of His plan and purpose. Ask Him that you may be a beacon of light guiding many into the harbor of His love.

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.

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.]
