Man’s ego promotes the idea of independence and separation from FATHER as though FATHER is found somewhere in the distant heavens and has the ability to show up when called. Nothing could be further from the Truth.
Jeremiah wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 17:
9 “The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
10 I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.”
FATHER makes an emphatic statement concerning the heart of man- it is deceitful and desperately wicked. How would a distant GOD know this? FATHER is not distant from HIS creation for HIS SPIRIT is everywhere. Jesus spoke to Nicodemus in John chapter 3:
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Jesus likened The Holy Spirit to the wind which is found everywhere on earth but cannot be seen. Do you really think FATHER is not aware of your every thought and action? How can a righteous Judge rule without all the facts? By definition, FATHER knows our hearts and our intents.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 3:
8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
The “cool of the day” is actually the Hebrew word ruwach. This word means:
wind, breath, mind, spirit. Adam and Eve hid themselves from the “sound” of THE SPIRIT of FATHER as though they could be physically separated from The Holy Spirit. As a result of their sin, they believed they could be separated and isolated from THE SPIRIT. This belief as prevailed among men ever since.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:
6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
FATHER is ever present to hear our righteous prayers and will respond accordingly. The Holy Spirit is also ever present in our individual “temples” thus we are never alone or forsaken. There is not one person on this earth who is fully separated from FATHER for HE searches the hearts of all men.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 2:
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
The whole issue boils down to this. Man’s ego has tried to separate man from FATHER and The Holy Spirit but has been fully deceived in his darkness. Man is simply unable to recognize the Truth that The Holy Spirit is everywhere and can be found when this blindness is lifted. We need a Spiritual awakening to occur today and FATHER is preparing us to rule and reign so that we can minister the exact Truth of FATHER’S Divine plan of Love. Jesus showed us The Way so that we could be fully prepared for this eventuality. Let us not cease in our determination toward full maturity IN HIM.
