Pastor Chris White."YOUR IDENTIFICATION WITH DIVINITY"

Hello Citizens Of the most beautiful people from a beautiful country. I'm always glad to communicate to you the unsearchable riches of Christ, as it helps you know more about Christ and his finished works. Today we'll begin our series of message on the knowledge (Epignosis) of "YOUR IDENTIFICATION WITH DIVINITY", always remember when you see Jesus everything else looses value.

2 Corinthians 10:4   (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

I know many of you has come across this scripture many times and even heard your ministers preach it or you yourself preach it but there's something about this scripture which many don't understand, they tend to view it from a carnal/natural mind and interpret it.

Remember the old testaments was founded on things while the new testament is by the spirit, and so when studying the scriptures as a new covenant believer you need to interpret the scriptures from your spirit and not from your mind which can only tell you what you feel,see and perceive.

That same scripture does not talk about battling an unseen enemy,many tend to keep fighting till today,blaming other humans for their misfortunes in life,are you aware that the devil cannot hurt you except you give him access,the scriptures above speaks of these,your weapons of warfare are not you praying and binding the devil,fasting for 100 days,locking up yourself for days,yet when you come out of all these nothing changes,have you ask yourself what really happens,
The scriptures says we are not to be led by our sensory perception, ie your mind will tell you to fast and pray then something will change, my friend I've been on these road before yet nothing changes,then you may ask where is the problem then,its all in the scriptures.

I know many will refer to when Jesus told his disciples to fast and pray to cast out a demon,let's go there  Mark  9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. Here Jesus was not referring to fasting to cast out demons,when you read the entire title you'll understand that something happened before he made this statement, his disciples tried casting out the demon but couldn't and when they came to Jesus he made that statement to them,before then Jesus said in Mark  9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. Mark  9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Jesus was referring to their unbelief in casting out the demon and not fasting to cast out the demon,pls understand this and be corrected, one doesn't need to fast to cast out a demon,a new creation born into Christ can cast out demons with or without fasting,their major problem was unbelief,they needed to get rid of it before they could live the spiritual life Jesus wanted and not depended on things, now don't quote me wrong I'm not saying fasting isn't right,fasting is only but an exercise, its a deliberate thing just to keep you concentrate, staying away from friends is fasting,putting your phone on silence to study is fasting,staying hungry today is fasting with or without prayers, now Christianity is all about knowledge of who Christ is,his finished works and your identification with him.

Time may not allow me to write everything today, now getting back to our scripture, the change you need in your life isn't by praying too much,going to all types of churches,going for seminars,conferences etc,the change takes place in you and the only answer to this Is the knowledge of Christ, that verse says casting down imagination, and every high thing that exalted itself against the KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST, you are in that dilemma today because you do not have the knowledge of Christ, these was the prayer of Paul to the churches he visited, when you come into knowledge of who you are in Christ, his finished works etc there's no thought,other knowledge that can put you down, you are one lucky person to be here because here we unveil Christ to you and nothing else.

When you see yourself in Christ sickness, poverty, death etc becomes an alien, every other thing becomes subject to you. This is the truth and nothing else,the scripture says in psm 82-5-6 they know not neither will they understand, I have said you are gods and all of you are the children of the most high,but you die like mere men because you not understand, many die today because they believed the doctors report,instead of the word,many die today because of unbelief, the knowledge of Christ in you swallows up all these things and so,

You cannot be in him and be sick,poor and die. When you come to these knowledge every other thing will be subject to you.
I pray that you'll know Jesus beyond the pictures of your mind and grow in the knowledge of his finished works for you.
Part 2 comes up tomorrow GMT+1(9:00am)

Hello Beloved Brethren in Love, I Know You Are Growing In The Love & Knowledge Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I want you  to take out time and read today's series intensively,

                           GOD LIVES BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION ( VOL 1) part 3

Luke  21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

   We have established the fact yesterday that Jesus Christ lives in our hearts which is our spirit, we also read from the Pauline Gospels how that he referred to us a Gods building, God's temple, today we'll travel deeper into the word and unravel more mysteries.

Jesus speaking to his disciples in the four gospels told them in John  2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
This message Jesus was conveying to them was that a time will come when God will now live in a man and make him his temple, they never seems to understand spiritual realities, remember I said yesterday that the New Testament is founded in the spirit which is the death,burial & ressurection of our Lord Jesus Christ, while the Old Testament was founded on physical things, animal sacrifices, superstitious beliefs, unbelief, etc. 

Paul in the epistles is always communicating to us deep things of God revealed  which was hidden right form the foundation of time, while Jesus was communicating to his disciples concerning this particular temple,he referred to him self as the temple, John  2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

This particular temple needed to be destroyed in order to rebuild new ones, God was in old time like an alien to the Israelites but he wanted to build new temples,new men where he can live in the quarters of their heart, and therefore Jesus has to abolish the temple of law and sin and birth forth a new temple of Grace where God is seated,the scripture say in Hebrews 4:16   Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

That throne is in the quarters of your heart,I know you are thinking of a physical throne, that's the natural mind,see in spiritual terms,throne there represents a place of authority, where one exercises authority/power, that same place gives you a mindset of sonship where you no longer think over your past and the physical things,
it tells you,of the direct access you have with God, right inside you, and so when the scriptures says come boldly is a fact telling you to know your place of authority, if God was in a physical place all these wouldn't have been.

Do you remember in the old testament where the priest always go to offer sacrifices, to plead for the sins of the people, that physical place was called the holy of holies,they always believe God lives inside there and therefore no one enters anyhow except the priest, this was a typology of what is to come, and they real substance came when Jesus appeared,died,buried and ressurected and gave birth to us.

We became a living temple for God to live and reign from, let me show you in the scriptures this truth,let's look at Revelation 1:6   And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

This same truth appears 3 times in Revelation. This still establishes that facts.
Revelation 5:10   And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Revelation 20:6   Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Going deeper into this scriptures let me pieces them one after the other to make you understand the mind of God.
When he said a priest, what does a priest do; a priest is one separated (holy) unto God, he hears God as though God lives with him, he is the one who enters the holy of holies as at the old covenant, and so when Jesus died the scripture says the veil which covers the physical temple torn off and God was no more there,God was now interested in building a new place by himself to live and rule from there, at the time Jesus ressurected Mary was about touching new temple built by Christ and Christ told her no, Jesus had to show the father the new temple as a priest he was,and immediately Jesus ressurected he brought forth a new body,an indestructible temple where God lives and the scriptures says any man in Christ is a new creation, the old building has gone,behold it is built a new one. 

We are now a priest where God offer praises from,reaches out from etc and a king where he rules at the quarters of our heart. 

God spoke to Ezekiel and said in Ezekiel 36:26   A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And in the epistles he said he will write his word in our hearts, Hebrews 10:16   This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
The word of God is God which therefore in reality means he lives in your heart.
God has found a new place to stay, he no more stay in the ark of covenant, holies of holies he lives in you now. Hallelujah

Celebrate what Christ has done in and through you, you are a God carrier, you are the embassy of God,he operates through you,he talks through you,reaches out through you,therefore you cannot be sick,poor,afraid when you have this knowledge, this is why Paul says in 2 Timothy 3:16   All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Don't let any man tell you that you are posses of demon,don't let anyone tell you that you have inherited a family disease, generational cures,for a man who God lives in cannot be all these.
That's was why Paul said in his Gospels that you are "more than a conqueror"
Rest in his finished works and you'll enjoy his Grace..

We'll continue with the next series tomorrow to establish more truth that God lives in you beyond heaven's mentality.

Pastor Chris White.

Hello Citizens Of Divinity here is today's teaching, I want you to take out time and study intensively, our audio and video messages will soon be online.

                          GOD LIVES BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION (VOL 1) part 2

1 Corinthians 3:9   For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. KJV

We established some truths in the scriptures about where God dwells beyond our carnal mind,  and we said that God is a spirit and dwell in the light in the spirit realm, today we'll go deeper into the deep things of God revealed to us by his spirit.

In the four Gospels where Jesus was teaching his disciples, though they were being obedient to the laws and couldn't understand Jesus message.

Mostly Jesus communicated to them in parables,
Parables are words/ or a way used to communicate to dull people ie slow of understanding spiritual things because they believe everything was to be physical, they never understood that Jesus is always talking in spiritual terms, they needed to see to believe, they needed things to touch,etc but that was not the gospel of Jesus; in regards to their dullness of heart to believe and see in spiritual terms Jesus said to them in John 16:12   I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Paul also encountered same people who always think carnal during his ministry especially the Christians in the Galatian church, Paul also refer to them as bewitched/carnally minded people in
Galatians 3:1   O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Galatians  3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

The new testament is in the spirit and not in physical things, the old covenant was always founded upon physical things, they needed to see,do to believe but yet it was a shadow of the real thing to come, a typology of the things to come, Jesus says to the woman in the well that God seeketh worshippers who will worship him in the spirit not on their physical things like images,visionary beliefs etc.

There is a belief that God lives in a heaven no doubt,I'm not denying that which many may think I am,but God does not dwell in the things made to be physical he lives in the spirit as we had established, there is a deeper knowledge about who you are in God and this was what Jesus was trying to communicate to the disciples and paul was trying to communicate to us, that living and seeing in the carnal profited nothing but our reasoning should be spiritual as new creations,

Jesus said to his disciples when they were asking him to show them the father, he tried to communicate spiritual things to them but they kept thinking at the physical,let's look at John 8:19   Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
John 14:9   Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Jesus was teaching them to see the father inside him, ie helping them understand that God lives inside him but not in a physical place, this is similar to the pauline gospels were he was showing us exactly the same thing in his gospel in  1 Corinthians 6:19   What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Corinthians 15:44   It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

This same thing happened when Jesus referred to himself as temple in the four gospels,
Matthew 26:61   And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
When Jesus made this statement they were still thinking in the flesh because they showed Jesus the physical temple of Jerusalem, but Jesus was trying to teach them spiritual realities of how one can become Gods abode,thank God this happened when Jesus died and ressurected, I remembered on one occasion where Jesus told them that whoever beloved in him, he and the father will make his abode in him John 14:23   Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Keeping his words there means believing in his gospel, paul also establishes this fact that we are the temple of God, always have in mind that the old covenant was founded upon physical things, while the new is in the spirit, the scriptures says  in 2 Corinthians 4:18   While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Right from the old covenant they believed that God lived in heaven but in these new testament God lives in our hearts/us, we are his home,we are spirit even book of proverbs confirms this Proverbs 20:27   The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Live with the consciousness that God lives in you as a new creation, and no more in a physical place, as the old covenant people believed, he is seated at the quarters of your heart,that is why he called you holy and accepted, you are the best place God can ever live.

We'll continue with the next series tomorrow to establish more fact that God lives in you beyond heaven's mentality.

Pastor Chris White.

Hello Citizens Of Divinity Nation, here is today's message,I'll be teaching in series for the next few days, I want you to take out time and listen to these messages both in audio and the ones posted here.

                                   GOD LIVES BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION.(part 1).

  Colossians 1:27  
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Many are shortsighted with the knowledge of this reality, they ask "where does God lives",  "Does God lives in heaven" etc. The word of God has answers to all these questions,

Jesus says God is a spirit and those who worship him should do so in spirit and in truth,
John 4:24   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. In your human mind think over these can a spirit live in a physical place/house, emphatically No, spirits lives in the realms of the spirit, while human lives in the physical realm; remember from the beginning God created heavens and the earth, but you might ask where was God when he created both places; Genesis 1:1   In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

The prophet Isaiah says Isaiah 45:18   For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. Note both places were meant to be inhabited by us.

God must not have been in heaven to create it, where did he live as at then the scriptures says in
1 Timothy  6:16 Who only(God) hath(is) immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Now let me show you in the scriptures that heaven and earth are for the flesh (Man) to dwell, don't forget Christ came as a man to redeem Man, and he went into heaven as man; I have established before that heaven and earth is a place where man will occupy,Paul establishes this fact in his gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:47   The first (man) is of the earth, earthy: the second (man) is the Lord from heaven. Note the word man in that verse which Paul was trying to make us understand, he further place more light on it 2 Corinthians 5:1   For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Paul was a wonderful man full of Gods revelation, he was bringing many to the light that God sees us beyond a physical being but as a house he called it building of God, these is a great mystery reveled through him,in the Pauline scriptures he talked about we being the temple of God 1 Corinthians 3:17   If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Remember I said God is a spirit and he lives in the spirit, man is a spirit and has a soul and a body,the spirit of man is the building of God where he lives. I'll establish more of these truths in the scriptures in the nest teaching, But know that God lives in your spirit and not in heaven, in order words heaven is inside us and heaven is not the more important, but the more important is JESUS, when you have him,you have heaven in you and God makes his home in you.

Jesus establishes this truth when he spoke to his disciples in the four-gospels in John 14:23   Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Remember Christ in you is the Gospel and where he lives. We'll be back tomorrow for more teachings on these series.
