God is not present past; he is present future, he has dealt with our past upon the cross.

Attaining resurrection life
I Corinthians 15:50–58 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet;… Continue reading Attaining resurrection life
Being led as sons
Romans 8: 14 for all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. When we are being “led” by the Spirit, we are not “following,” as the Israelites did when they followed the pillar of fire in the wilderness. To be led by the Spirit means to be driven… Continue reading Being led as sons
The cares of this life
Jesus came to give us abundant life, in order to enter into this kind of life; we have to get rid of all the cares of the human life. We are a new creation, a new race of beings that started with Jesus Christ, when he was raised from the dead. We are no longer… Continue reading The cares of this life
Bringing God’s will down
What people refer to as the Lord’s Prayer in Mathew 6, is the prayer the Lord taught the disciples to pray. We can find the Lord’s Prayer in John 17, Where our Lord prayed to the Father, that we would all come into the same oneness of spirit that he had with the Father, that… Continue reading Bringing God’s will down

Frequencies of our spirit
All things in the universe whether visible or invisible, are formed from energy; both in the spiritual world and the physical. Science measures this energy in terms of frequency. They have been able to identify them by the frequency they emit. The number of repetitive waves in a given amount of time determines a frequency.… Continue reading Frequencies of our spirit
Becoming a son of God
The time of the manifestation of the Sons of God is fast approaching. Before we can receive a Glorified Body certain changes must happen within us.

Filled and delivered
Being filled with the Spirit requires an understanding of our own spirits and how to open them up to the Lord. To be born of the Spirit, we must become willing to surrender the whole of our life, for the Spirit of God to govern. It is an unconditional yes, to the lordship of Jesus… Continue reading Filled and delivered
Filled with the Spirit
We can speak in tongues and still not be filled with the Spirit. It is through the intensity of our spirit, and our desire to be wholly indwelt by the Spirit of God and our laser focus on him in love and worship which releases His fullness within us. When we are really filled with… Continue reading Filled with the Spirit
How to build a strong spirit
It is important for us to have a strong spirit which enables it to grow. It is our spirit that first encounters the presence of God, and we must build it to a point where our spirit can maintain the presence, and handle the manifestation of the glory of God. When our spirit is quickened… Continue reading How to build a strong spirit
The power of thought
Thoughts are seeds, they have life in them and they will reproduce, if we don’t learn how to deal with them. When thoughts are planted they will reproduce after their own kind. This is an important spiritual principal or kingdom law. It is the law of reproduction. Even before the foundations of the world. It… Continue reading The power of thought
Be an avalanche starter
Let us be determined that we’re going to declare war and overcome everything of the spirit of this age, and walk with God with all the aggressiveness of the kingdom. And when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” And… Continue reading Be an avalanche starter
Definition of divine love
1 Corinthians 13:1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (divine love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy (a discourse emanating from divine inspiration and declaring the purposes of God,), and understand all (total, whole) mysteries,… Continue reading Definition of divine love
Functions of our spirit
The primary function, the first function of our spirit is to be in touch with God. Our spirit has the ability to connect with God, to tune into God, to be aware of God. God’s Spirit is able to communicate with our spirit, particularly as it grows to maturity. We need to grow in spirit… Continue reading Functions of our spirit
Changed by a revelation of the Lord
It is most important for us to open our spirit to the Lord. Many people who have been Christians all their lives fail to understand this principle of change because it is a thing of spirit rather than of soul. People talk about winning souls, and that’s just about what they do: they win the… Continue reading Changed by a revelation of the Lord
Dealing with the soul
In order to walk with God we need to understand the difference between our spirit, soul and body. The body is easy to discern. Our soul is basically our personality, our distinct individuality; it is the self part of us that wills and desires the things that make us human. Our soul is the part… Continue reading Dealing with the soul
Blockages in the soul
How do we prepare our soul? All the sin that we commit is an indicator of our need for God. Because we sin to try and make ourselves feel better about ourselves or our life which is an indication of how much we need God. If we struggle with lust, it is because we desperately… Continue reading Blockages in the soul
Different levels
We go from grace to grace, faith to faith, strength to strength, and glory to glory. We go from one level to the next in our spiritual growth in God. The grace of God is the flow of the Spirit of God in our life. Grace is the influence of the Spirit, his nature and… Continue reading Different levels
Foundations of breakthrough
There are spiritual principles that have to become a way of life in order for us to come into sonship. They are foundational for us to learn or we will not progress spiritually in the Lord. The foundations of breakthrough are first of all repentance, then love, then grace, then faith, and then hope. The… Continue reading Foundations of breakthrough
Captivated
We need to learn how to get the word in our spirit where faith becomes a substance in it. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance (that which underlies the apparent, therefore it is the reality, the essence, the substance; that which is the basis of something coming into manifestation) of things hoped for, the… Continue reading Captivated
Blow up the dams
There are things in our soul that hinder the flow of God in our lives. Things that we may be struggling with can dam up the flow of God’s life in us. Out of our spirit shall flow rivers of life, but first we must blow up the dams. What we need to do is… Continue reading Blow up the dams
Come up higher
The whole purpose of the Day of Atonement was that there should be the goat of removal (“azazel” in Hebrew). The high priest laid his hands on the goat and confessed his sins and the sins of the people over the scapegoat, then they led it out into the wilderness. It was done, as we… Continue reading Come up higher
Where dwellest thou?
The fourteenth and fifteenth chapters of John deal with progressive levels in our spiritual life, plateaus to which we attain. Even with Christ’s disciples, there were levels of discipleship. The Word tells us the Lord deals with us without partiality; nevertheless, there were always those who went a little farther with Him. Peter, James, and… Continue reading Where dwellest thou?
Bumblebees can’t fly
Bumblebees are amazing little creatures. According to the laws of aerodynamics, bumblebees should not be able to fly. When you compare the size and structure of their wings with the size and weight of their bodies, it would seem to indicate that bumblebees cannot fly. But you cannot convince a bumblebee of that. 6For to… Continue reading Bumblebees can’t fly
Authority over the assault
When the seventy were sent forth, as recorded in Luke, Christ said, “I give you authority over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19). Do not be too deeply concerned about the strength or the power of demon forces: how much money they have, how much organization they possess, or what legal structures they… Continue reading Authority over the assault
Your going to learn how to fly
Our Lord does not make mistakes. He knows exactly what He is doing, and He is doing everything just right. At one time or another, He places each of us in a very difficult position, and we may not know which way to turn. But we know there are some changes that are going to… Continue reading Your going to learn how to fly
Beyond dedication
When Solomon built the temple it had taken seven years, there was spent a vast fortune, and it expended unbelievable labor to build the temple. It took 150,000 aliens with 360 overseers serving at their posts many months out of the year to build the temple. The workmanship was fabulous. While the temple was being… Continue reading Beyond dedication
And they remembered His Words
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day be risen again. And they remembered his words. Luke 24:6–8. In the book… Continue reading And they remembered His Words
Activate His fullness
The entire Bible speaks about the principle of transference, how God makes a way to transfer His attributes to us and how He takes our sins and iniquities and transfers them to the Lord Jesus Christ. Animal sacrifices in the Old Testament were based upon the principle that the innocent are able to take the… Continue reading Activate His fullness
And the Word of the Lord tried him
In theological Bible schools, one basic rule of hermeneutics is taught: you do not take a text out of its setting to interpret it, but in a correct, honest, and orthodox interpretation, you interpret it in the light of its context. That would be very beautiful if it were true, but the Old Testament texts… Continue reading And the Word of the Lord tried him
Ambassadors
An ambassador is a diplomatic official of the highest rank, appointed and accredited as a representative in residence by one government to another. Philippians 3:20 says for our citizenship is in heaven. We are ambassadors of heaven on earth. So our citizenship is not of earth, we are citizens of heaven. We are connected to… Continue reading Ambassadors
Moving on
We are a triune being, spirit, soul and body. We cannot come to the lord unless the Holy Spirit draws us, then he must convict us of sin. When we become willing to surrender the whole of our life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, then God quickens our spirit and it becomes alive unto… Continue reading Moving on
A right spirit precedes a right mind
We come into a unity of spirit before we come into a unity of faith, where we all believe the same way. Most believers lean upon their own understanding, and what they have been taught by man, or the church they go to. There are certain qualities of spirit we need to possess in order… Continue reading A right spirit precedes a right mind
Abiding in the spirit
In a walk with God there should be a practical application of every truth, however otherworldly it may seem, so that we have both feet on the ground and our spirit and mind in heavenly places. Then there will not be a day when we cannot see into the Kingdom. When our spirit is alive… Continue reading Abiding in the spirit
Fear of the Lord gate
The fear of the lord is not being scared of the Lord. It is a part of who God is and who we are becoming. It is the result of our spirit being one with the Lord. The fear of the lord flows in the river of God, it comes out of heaven flows into… Continue reading Fear of the Lord gate
A revelation of the Lord
In order to walk in the spirit there are some things in us that will have to change. As we grow spiritually we will notice a change in how we respond to circumstances and people. We all start out responding or reacting wrongly, it is part of our self- life or conditioning. But as we… Continue reading A revelation of the Lord
The salvation of the soul
The salvation of the soul is distinct from the salvation of our spirit. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and savior, He makes our spirit alive, by imparting His life to it. This is an instantaneous experience where God becomes alive in our spirit. But when our spirit is first saved-enlightened, our soul is… Continue reading The salvation of the soul
Becoming aware of our spirit
Our spirit has senses; it has the ability to sense God, to perceive God, to feel God, to experience God. It is through our spirit’s senses that we become conscious of God. The senses of our spirit have to be activated in God, in order to sense the Spirit of God. Our spirit has to… Continue reading Becoming aware of our spirit
Becoming a spirit opener
True Christianity is the greatest adventure a person could ever have, it is a journey into the very heart of God where we experience Him in such a way, that His thoughts become our thoughts, His feelings become our feelings, the very essence of His being penetrates us so that we become a new creation… Continue reading Becoming a spirit opener
The prayer closet
We need to learn how to abide in the spirit under pressure. The Lord is with us always; He never leaves nor forsakes us, we have to learn how to tune into Him so that His life is flowing into us. He is an ever present help in times of trouble. He lifts us up… Continue reading The prayer closet
Ministering the Spirit
When we learn how to activate our spirit and tune into the Presence of God where the Lord meets us, then we can begin to minister the Spirit to others. We can tune into God and then tune in to another so that the Spirit of God can touch their spirit. There are a lot… Continue reading Ministering the Spirit
Right spirit
There is a beauty coming forth in the hearts of God’s people. It is called having a right spirit. The life of God flows out of heaven into our spirit, and it radiates out of us though our soul and body so that others can see the glory we are reflecting. The qualities which shine forth… Continue reading Right spirit
A pure flow of the Word
In ancient warfare, whenever an enemy took over a territory and did not want that land or its people to survive, the enemy would sow the fields with salt and throw dead carcasses in the wells. We read in Genesis how Isaac dug again the wells which his father Abraham had dug, because the Philistines… Continue reading A pure flow of the Word
A living word or empty words
The goal and objective of every believer should be to speak words that are alive and filled with the anointing and presence of God Himself. The Spirit of God should be released through the words we speak. When our spirit is in contact with the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to draw upon the anointing… Continue reading A living word or empty words
The end of the professionals
The Lord wants to teach us about His authority and His fullness so that we can move into what He has for us, in these last days- His authority and His fullness are really the issue in this day. Our adequacy is never an issue unless we make it one. If we keep feeling adequate,… Continue reading The end of the professionals
Seven principles of worship
Malachi is the last prophet of the Old Testament, and in his book there are glimpses of the hour in which we are living. In Malachi’s day there had ceased to be any real worship of the Lord. The people had profaned His altars and had given unto the Lord the lame of the flock… Continue reading Seven principles of worship
Your will is a key to worship
You must understand that there are many facets to your being. Your will is a part of your soul, of your mind, of your emotions, a part of your spirit, and is probably the only thing that transcends all of them. With the set of your will, you can control your emotions. With your will… Continue reading Your will is a key to worship
The worship service
We are entering into revelation worship, where the manifest presence of God opens up our understanding of His word as our spirit comes into contact with Him. The leaders carry the service, but the people also need to be aware of what is taking place. The worship service is effective to the extent that the… Continue reading The worship service
Make Him a throne
We will consider Psalm 22:3 from two different versions. King James says, But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. The New American Standard Bible reads, Yet Thou art holy, O Thou who art enthroned upon the praises of Israel. Inhabitest, to be enthroned, the Hebrew word means to sit down;… Continue reading Make Him a throne
Worship without distraction
A walk with God begins with a revelation of the Lord, and it is the worshiper who will come into that revelation. With each deeper step in revelation there is a corresponding step into deeper worship. Those who will walk with God are those who set themselves to follow on to know the Lord with… Continue reading Worship without distraction
We wash before we worship
Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place. And behind the second veil, there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy… Continue reading We wash before we worship
The veil-and one step beyond
One cannot understand the book of Revelation unless he has a good concept of the book of Ezekiel, for the spirit of Ezekiel was very much with John on the Isle of Patmos. The imagery and the symbols of Revelation are never understood until one understands the Old Testament prophets. Even in the marvelous messages… Continue reading The veil-and one step beyond
Let Him breathe on me
Worship the Lord with a spirit of anticipation. Let the Spirit fill you again and again. About the time that your heart says, “This is all I can receive from the Lord today,” answer, “No, that’s a lie. I can have twice as much.” Then start all over again, anticipating a double portion. When you… Continue reading Let Him breathe on me
God’s response to our worship
We should be able to touch the Lord every time we come to church. It is ridiculous for you to come to church and fail to have a meeting with God. We need the kind of teaching that removes the tendency for us to get into a rut, lest worship become commonplace to us, and… Continue reading God’s response to our worship
The pure worship
Malachi, the last recorded prophet of the Old Testament, has an amazing message, telling what God will do in the end time. It contains little reference to the first coming of Christ, but much is portrayed of the times and events of His second coming. For from the rising of the sun even unto the… Continue reading The pure worship
The schemes of the devil
The book of Ephesians seems to follow three main themes: the wealth of the believer (all the inheritance and riches of grace); the walk of the believer (walk as dear children; walk as children of light); and the warfare of the believer. It unveils the great panorama of God’s plan from eternity to eternity, and… Continue reading The schemes of the devil
The sword of the Spirit
Ephesians6:17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: The sword of the Spirit, is the word of God, it is His word in our mouth. It is not His word in His mouth; it is His word in our mouth. We speak the word… Continue reading The sword of the Spirit
The helmet of salvation
Ephesians 6: 17And take (definiteness and completion of action, the Spirit moving us and our yielding to him, To take to oneself what is presented by another, to receive) the helmet (about-head) of salvation (the helmet of salvation is presented as the means of protection) The Greek word for helmet means literally, “something that is wrapped… Continue reading The helmet of salvation
The breastplate of righteousness
Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 1 Thessalonians 5: 8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on (clothe yourself, get into the Spirit) the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet (from peri, “around,” and kephale,… Continue reading The breastplate of righteousness
Armor for our emotions
Eph 6: 14Stand (command now) therefore, having your loins (seat of generative powers, intense emotions) girt about (definiteness of action, wrapped around) with truth (the unveiled reality-the basis of). Each part of our body relates to certain functions of our soul and of our spirit life. Every part of the anatomy of the body has a… Continue reading Armor for our emotions
Be strong in the Lord
As we become sensitive to the Spirit realm, we become aware of the warfare that is going on. When God joins Himself to our spirit we soon experience an inner warfare where our spirit desires one thing and our flesh another. This battle takes place in our soul consciousness. Once we overcome the inner warfare,… Continue reading Be strong in the Lord
What is the armor?
We need to understand the name of each piece of armor and what it stands for, what it protects and what we are appropriating. Each piece of the armor we have to deliberately put on. We put on an attribute of God as we identify with Him. It is not inherent in the old nature,… Continue reading What is the armor?
Heavenly places
In order to transform the city we live in, the church in that city-which are those called out to govern, must displace the principalities and powers that are governing that city. The worst mistake in war is to not know where the battleground is located. Where is the battle? Is the battle in the mind?… Continue reading Heavenly places
Hearing the voice of God
To walk with God, we have to learn how to hear the voice of God. Learning to hear the voice of God is a journey, it’s not something that we learn quickly. But with perseverance we can learn to hear the voice of God daily, so that we can begin to be led by the… Continue reading Hearing the voice of God

Spirit building
In building our spirit we are walking on what is called the pathway of relationship which leads to deeper intimacy with God.

When all else fails
PSALMS 103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. We live in days of constant change and nothing seems to be certain anymore. There was a time when most things in our lives were predictable, at least to a certain degree. Change is a constant factor in… Continue reading When all else fails
Keeping short accounts with God
One of the most remarkable statements in God’s Word is found in Acts 13: ACTS 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which… Continue reading Keeping short accounts with God
Destiny and times and seasons
ECCLESIASTES 9:11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. The word chance in this verse can… Continue reading Destiny and times and seasons
Intensity
David was a man after God’s own heart- who would do all His will, because there was intensity (the strength, power, force, or concentration of something) in his heart. Whatever David did he did with all his heart. When he sinned, he repented with all his heart. He would tear his clothes, put ashes on… Continue reading Intensity
Intensity of spirit
In order to walk with God our spirit must rise up to a level where our spirit is absolutely predominate (to dominate or control something) in a situation, with our soul remaining subordinate (allow something else to dominate or take priority) to it. The soul is involved with a great deal of emotions and feelings;… Continue reading Intensity of spirit
The nature of revelation
1 CORINTHIANS 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? The Apostle Paul here speaks of four ways to communicate truth: Revelation, Knowledge, Prophesying, and Doctrine. First, we are… Continue reading The nature of revelation
Living in two worlds
ECCLESIASTES 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men. Jesus clearly said that He was not of this world (Jn 8:23). Now, because Jesus was the firstborn of many who would follow in His footsteps, we too are not of this world. Just as… Continue reading Living in two worlds
Adapting to change
MATTHEW 9:16-17 16. No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and… Continue reading Adapting to change
Speaking in tounges
We live in a world that is governed by the spirit. Behind the visible, material world, there exists another dimension, another world – that of spirit. This world of spirit has no limitations, but because our lives are lived primarily in the physical realm, our interaction with the spirit world takes a secondary place and,… Continue reading Speaking in tounges
Judgment
Because God is love, everything He does is redemptive. JOHN 10:10b I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Understanding that everything God does is redemptive is vital to a right perspective on what we perceive concerning what God allows or does not allow happening. Our perception… Continue reading Judgment
Kingdom
There is a way in which we reach in with violence to possess the kingdom and there is a great deal of violence that comes against the Kingdom. Through much tribulation we must enter the Kingdom. The basic New Testament teaching is that the kingdom is inherited. This puts the kingdom on the basis of… Continue reading Kingdom
Renew a right spirit
Be gracious to me, O God. according to Thy lovingkindness; according to the greatness of Thy compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, and done what… Continue reading Renew a right spirit
New creation
Throughout the bible we see how Satan has tried to destroy the seed of the woman. That same spirit is at work in the earth today. Finally, this seed of the woman found its way down to a young unmarried girl called Mary. This girl encountered the Holy Spirit in a unique way. LUKE 1:35… Continue reading New creation
The word of fire
In the Scripture, Pentecost was a Feast observed for only one day. It may take a long time to get you out of Egypt and Egypt out of you. It may take a long time before the tabernacling of God in His glory is established in the earth. But the fire of God that burns… Continue reading The word of fire
A tongue of fire
Many people who receive the Holy Spirit into their lives today do not receive anything comparable to what the believers received on the day of Pentecost, because the baptism of fire is not a part of their experience. It was the baptism of fire that was to be the pattern experience, not the baptism of… Continue reading A tongue of fire
The spirit of burning
Will the experience of fire be a dynamic experience or will it be a process? For several years we have seen this experience of fire as an unfolding process. But in the last outpouring of the Spirit it will also be a dynamic experience. Most believers who receive the Holy Spirit speak with tongues and… Continue reading The spirit of burning
True knowledge
There are two kinds of knowledge; one is divine the other human. Divine knowledge comes from the inside and human knowledge comes from the outside. 1 CORINTHIANS 14:6 6. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation(apokalyptō 1 from… Continue reading True knowledge
The right to become
As the days of the manifestation of the sons of God approach us, we are eager to become sons. We want glorified bodies and divine health; we want everything of God’s provision. However, certain spiritual changes must precede those physiological changes. We must first experience an overwhelming manifestation of the divine nature before our release… Continue reading The right to become

Elijah and Elisha
The stories of Elijah begin with judgment upon Israel for her apostasy and the miracles of survival of a remnant that had not bowed the knee to Baal. We see in Elijah, “the prophet of fire and rain,” the example of those who will challenge the demonic and apostate forces of the age. And we… Continue reading Elijah and Elisha
Fathers and sons
When Rome burned, Nero blamed the Christians; however, historians say that evidence proves that Nero was absolutely guilty. In that ignoble hour of persecution, he killed apostles and prophets and Christians. That was the climate in which Paul wrote the Epistle of II Timothy. Notice especially three verses in 2 Timothy 4 –Make every effort… Continue reading Fathers and sons
The kingdom age
Because God wanted to change an age, He gave a Word to Noah. With reverence and with a godly fear in his heart, Noah set about building an ark, He was determined to act upon that Word. For one hundred and twenty years he faced the ridicule of his neighbors while he built the ark,… Continue reading The kingdom age
The imperceptible change
Imagine yourself on a beautiful clear day, out in a sailboat, gliding smoothly along on a quiet lake. If you look around once in awhile at the place where you started, you see the shoreline fading away into the distance. Both the distant past and new horizons are opening up to us. It’s almost as… Continue reading The imperceptible change

John prophesied… Continue reading The baptism of fire
Identical
The Lord is teaching us how to walk on a new plane, and it will be a little while before we all get into it. It’s like learning to walk in the natural. Every new phase has that similarity. You move along well in the plane you’re on, and when you move into a new… Continue reading Identical
In one spirit
Our goals as ministers and oracles of the Word of God should be: “As much as we can, we want to have a pure Word from the Lord, a pure ministry to the people, and a pure spirit that permeates the whole of the church.” We are coming into the age of the kingdom; the… Continue reading In one spirit

Sermon on the Mountain
Just as Moses ascended Mount Sinai, to receive the 10 commandments, Jesus ascended a mountain to give us the principles of the kingdom.

Sermon on the mount
Matthew chapters 5 to 7 record what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount, which includes the Beatitudes.

When we are born the first time, we became a living soul-we were born a human being. We are born self centered, one of the first words we learn is no, we are born dishonest, covetous, and so forth.
