Now we get this thing clearly.We have the same eternal life that Jesus had, for Jesus declares, “I am the vine, ye are the branches” (John 15:5). We have the vine life in us. We have the substance in us that was in Jesus.Jesus has become our redemption and our wisdom. Jesus now becomes the… Continue reading What We Are in Christ

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. What a challenge this is to the believer.The Greek word believeth means a believing one.There never were any believing ones until the family of God came into being… Continue reading Can There Be Any Impossibilities to Us in Christ?

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. They were physical giants.We have mental giants in our day, but the world’s greatest giants are spiritual giants, giants in the realm of faith. They belong to the new order.In Arthur S. 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

Allow me to enumerate some of the great blessings that belong to us now.We have the opportunity of tying up with omnipotence. We may utilize the vast resources of the God of the universe.How it thrilled me when I first saw what could become ours today. Years ago, I remember, I came in contact with… Continue reading What Belongs to Us in Christ

It goes without argument that God has the ability to give us exact knowledge in regard to spiritual things.We believe that the Word contains this exact knowledge in all spiritual wisdom that is necessary for our growth and development so that we may know and do the will of the Father perfectly.Sense knowledge is born… Continue reading Exact Knowledge

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

God planned our redemption. His Son and the Holy Spirit executed it. This redemption demonstrated the eternal defeat of Satan. Jesus stripped him of his authority and dominion after He had paid the penalty of man’s transgression. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his… Continue reading God’s Cure for Sin Consciousness

This has been a bone of contention in the theological world.You see, man is a spirit being. He is in the same class with God. He was created in the image and likeness of God. 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 cannot grow in righteousness. He may grow in righteousness consciousness, but he already is the righteousness of God in Christ.One cannot grow in sonship. 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 have come to know that spiritual things are as real as material things.Love is as real as the building in which you live, and sometimes more real than material substance.When we realize the reality of spiritual things, so that we will take account of them and plan on them as we do on material… Continue reading Success and Failure in Our Spirits

We know that wisdom comes from the human spirit, and that God’s impartation of wisdom does not come direct to the intellect, but through the human spirit to the intellect.Millions of dollars have been spent on developing the human body, and hundreds of millions have been spent on developing the human mind, but the real… Continue reading Developing Your Spirit Life

We are not dealing with philosophy, or metaphysics. We are dealing with realities. It is not something that human reason has worked 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 that… Continue reading The Fruit of your spirit

For years, we were mystified as to the source of thoughts. They come to us from God through our spirit. They come from the enemy into our mind. They come from our brains that have been recorded from our life experiences. Beautiful melodies would float into our consciousness and gain the mastery over us; poetry… Continue reading The Spirit of Man

The Two Great Spiritual Forces in the World Here are some things that love has never done: it has never enslaved the weaker; it has never taken advantage of the ignorant; it has never reigned as a dictator or oppressor; it did not vote legalize marijuana, or abortion; it never steals or takes advantage; it… Continue reading Love and Selfishness

There is a new creation whenever a man comes to be “in Christ”; what is old is gone, the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17 MOFF) This new creation is born of God and God is love, so the new creation is a love creation. In our redemption, love went the limit. The cross and… Continue reading The New Kind of Love

Before we receive eternal life, our spirit is in darkness. This makes it impossible for us to understand the Bible, which is revelation truth. 1 Corinthians 2: 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… Continue reading The New Self

There is no psychology of the new birth, for the new birth is not mental, but spiritual. Psychology has to do with the mind, and the new birth has to do with the “hidden man of the heart,” or the spirit of man. You understand that man is in God’s class of being. When he… Continue reading The Hidden Man of the Heart

This is an unveiling of the hidden man of the heart. It is a study in what psychologists have called the subconscious mind. It is an attempt to reveal who Christ is in you. Modem psychologists do not really know man, because man is a spirit, soul and body. And they research only into the… Continue reading The Hidden man
