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.]

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.”

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. 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

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

Strive to Enter the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension

The Spirit is asking us: “Are you knocking on the door that enters the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension? This dimension is the Kingdom of the Spirit, the Kingdom outside of the limitations of the 3-D World that we are initially born into. Its invisible power engulfs the old five senses, material world, the world of delusion. The invisible Yahweh inhabits this new-to-us spiritual world.”

The Spirit is saying to us: The only way into this heavenly spiritual dimension is to enter it by the narrow gate. “For wide is the gate that leads to destruction.” He is asking us, “Are you striving to enter through the narrow gate? It will lead you to that rare dimension known as the Kingdom of God. Are you earnestly seeking and knocking and asking?”

Christ commands us, “Enter in at the narrow gate, for wide is the gate… and difficult is the way which leads to life, and few find it…” Few. That is sobering (Matt. 7:13-14).

Why is the gate narrow? The gate is narrow to prevent us from trying to carry the old baggage of false doctrines into the Holy Place. [Several of these false teachings are found here: false doctrines | Immortality Road (wordpress.com)]

He tells us, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4 NKJV). He is telling all Christians to leave behind the “difficult way” of the 3-D world and enter the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension. We need to ask, seek, and knock on that door, which is the narrow gate by which we enter into his Kingdom.

For we will discover that the invisible Yahweh is a Spirit that subsumes everything else in the created realm. Standing on the earth, Christ said, “Even the Son of man which is in heaven” (John 3:13).

The heavenly spiritual dimension is the Kingdom of God. It is the Kingdom of Spirit. To prove it, Christ said, “Not everyone that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Or “…which is in the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension” (Matt. 7:21).

Therefore, Christ tells us to “strive to enter in at the narrow gate.” Strive means contend, fight, and struggle with your adversary to enter in at the narrow gate. Those who do not, He will reject, and “there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” when He receives all the righteous into the “Kingdom of God and yourselves thrust out…” (Luke 13: 24-29).

We must fight the inclination to coast through our new Christian life like a young child who is impervious and carefree and knows nothing of the battle we are chosen to fight. We are to “walk in the Spirit, the Kingdom, the heavenly spiritual dimension.” We can’t see it with the naked eye, but we must “fight the good fight of faith” and enter it and experience the same thing that His people have always experienced.

“What is that?” you ask. Let your Holy Bible fall open, and begin reading, and you will be taken to this old—yet new—spiritual dimension of which we speak. The Garden of Eden is a good example. The Holy Bible is full of those who fought and strove to enter into the Kingdom.    Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Are You Suffering from a Betrayal by Someone You Love?

Betrayal causes severe anguish and pain. What is our reaction to this? We cry out to God. These five words are the answer to some of life’s great questions: Why do we have to physically or mentally suffer? Why do our old earthly bodies break down? Why must we “walk through the valley of the shadow of death”?

God allows “bad things” for us to suffer, so that we will turn to him. Though it is difficult for us to comprehend, it is Yahweh’s great love for us that He subjects us to excruciating misery at times in our earthly lives.

These “bad” times are designed for us to overcome. When we overcome the trials, our spiritual muscles are strengthened. This is how we grow in His infinite grace.

This is one of the great mysteries that the Spirit is now revealing to us. Why do we suffer from things that are not seemingly even our fault? Because it is part of God’s plan. His plan fulfills His purpose. He is reproducing Himself in the form of agape love in our vessels.

Those that overcome all things will sit with him on His throne, even as Christ has overcome all things.

But how do we overcome? First, we must get over the shock that Yahweh uses “evil” to produce righteous spiritual growth in us. This growth comes from understanding and knowing the hidden mysteries concealed in His plan as stated above. And we can only understand through experiencing the suffering that spiritual growth requires. This engenders forgiveness; agape love grows as we forgive each other. That includes forgiving God for putting us through the pain and anguish.

Part of this knowledge concerns the Hebrew God’s implementation of trials on us His creation. This is when many of the called fall away. They will say, “This cannot be true. How can God, who is love, allow bad things to happen?”

The apostle Paul knew the answer. The Spirit through him wrote this down: “For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” Yahweh had mercy on the Israelites, but He hardened Pharoah’s heart, all to fulfill His plan and purpose. The unenlightened will protest and begin to blame God. To which the Spirit replies, “But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” (Romans 9:19-20 NIV).

Crying out to God would not happen without pain. All I ever wanted as a child was a loving peaceful home. My parents were always fighting. They finally divorced when I was eleven. My world was beginning to shatter. Nine years later I worked as a lab tech in a MASH hospital fifteen miles south of the DMZ near Quang Tri. The blood and death every day completed the shattering. But the divorce and the war God used to instill in me an unquenchable desire to know the truth. Not just the truth about the war, but the truth about why we are here on this planet? And if there is a God, then, Who is He?

Yahweh used these two heartbreaks—the divorce and the war—to send me on a quest for knowledge even till today some fifty-five years later. I have forgiven my parents and Uncle Sam. And now through God’s mercy, I have slaked the bitterness I once endured. I died with Christ and now have a new heart that praises Him for His love and forgiveness.    Kenneth Wayne Hancock
