You remember that Jesus said, “All things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23). He walked in the spirit realm and that is our realm today.

God’s first man was what we would call a superman, a man who lived in the supernatural realm; not necessarily all the time, but whenever supernatural ability was necessary, he could draw on it.The old covenant began with the superman, Abraham. At ninety-nine years of age, Abraham had his youth renewed, and Sarah had her… Continue reading Some Characteristics of the Superman

There were giants in the earth in those days. (Genesis 6:4)How the imagination plays with a statement like that.

Way’s translation of Philippians… Continue reading A New Class of Men

This is one of the greatest facts of revelation, one of the most important to the believer, and one of the most precious to the love-ruled heart.The New Testament gives us three relations that God sustains toward man: first, God for us; second, God with us; and third, God in us.To have God for us… Continue reading God-Inside Minded

How well I remember the years I sought for power with God, prayed for power, and read every book I could find that would tell me how to get it.One day, Philippians 2:13 opened up to me: “For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure”… Continue reading Counting on the Ability of God in You

We have found that wisdom cannot come from any human source. Universities cannot teach it; technical, theological, or law schools cannot impart it.The majority of people in our favored land are failures. Only about three percent of the men who go into business for themselves succeed. Seventy-five percent of marriages are failures. Only a few… Continue reading How Wisdom Comes

Eternal life gives to the believer an unknown element the world had never before had. It is a thing that Peter called “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (1 Peter 1:8).We understand that happiness comes from environment, but joy comes from within and is a product of the new creation.We found that the martyrs had… Continue reading A Joyful Confession

He had to be, in order to become a partaker of the divine nature.When he sinned, he became a partaker… Continue reading How Does the Believer Sin?

Sin consciousness is Satan’s chief hindrance to faith. It is his oldest device. Today it springs from an ignorance of the substitutionary work of Christ.The ministers, in attempting to separate the congregation from the worldly influences and build them up in a holy life, have industriously preached sin rather than righteousness, redemption, and sonship,There are… Continue reading Sin Consciousness

One may grow in sonship consciousness and learn to enjoy his privileges and rights in the family.One can grow in grace. Grace is the first fruits of love. Grace is… Continue reading A Study in Faith

Natural man does not have the same kind of faith that the believer enjoys. The natural man believes in the things he can see, hear, taste, smell, and feel.It was hard for us to grasp this. For a long time, I could not understand the meaning of the word believe in relation to natural man.Then… Continue reading Natural Man’s Faith

There must be a new approach to the study of psychology. The teaching of Professor William James of Harvard on the subconscious mind has made a profound impression upon the minds of the students in this subject.Here is a quotation from Professor James, from The Psychology of Orthodoxy, by Elwin Lincoln House: It (the subconscious… Continue reading Some Studies in the Recreated Spirit

We are not dealing with mysticism, philosophy, or metaphysics. We are dealing with realities. It is not something that the human reason has wrought out through observation or physical sensations; we are dealing with the basic laws of man’s being, the great spiritual laws that govern the unseen forces of life.There are several great forces… Continue reading The Fruits of the Spirit

For years, we were mystified as to the source of thoughts. We knew that they were not the children of reason. They flashed upon us; they came leaping at us from nowhere.Beautiful melodies would float into our consciousness and gain the mastery over us; poetry would come, beautiful couplets, to which reason did not give… Continue reading The Spirit of Man

This makes… Continue reading The New Self
