When our spirit is born again God has access to us through the first love gate in our spirit and we have access to him. It is the flow of His life through this gate that gives us spiritual consciousness and access to the heavenly places in Christ.
We have four fellowship gates in our spirit through which the life of God flows into our soul,1- Prayer, 2-The fear of God,3- Reverence, and 4- Worship.
The life of God flows out of heaven into our spirit and then out of our spirit into our soul.
The fellowship gates in our spirit have to be open and flowing so that the life of God can flow into our soul and cleanse the gates in our soul, so that we can be led by the Holy Spirit.
We have seven soul gates, 1conscious, 2-reason, 3-imagination, 4-mind, 5-emotions, 6-choice, and 7-will.
As we work through the gateways of spirit, soul, and body we are going to come into an intimate relationship with God where we can hear his voice and be led by His Spirit and come into Sonship.
Working through the gateways, means we are becoming aware of them and how the life of God flows through them, it is the interpenetrating of God into us so that we can be filled with all the fullness of God experientially.
We start off each day by opening our spirit to God, so that He can fill it. We open our spirit for Jesus to be Lord over it.
It is through the first love gate in our spirit that we have direct access to God and the heavenly realms. This gateway is the secret place in our spirit, where we have access to the kingdom, to the mind of Christ, the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit.
We get the life of God flowing into our soul through our prayer gate. Prayer is a Constant two Way Communication where we are receiving direction and also administering the kingdom upon the earth.
Through praying in the spirit we are drawing the life of God into our soul, we open our prayer gate through speaking.
We want to get the life of God flowing though all our spirit gates into our soul, so that our mind, our conscious, our emotions, our imagination and so forth become cleansed of defilements of spirit so that they can partake of the divine nature.
Some of the gateways of our spirit, we are more aware of than others, but once we become aware of them, then we can tune into them allowing the life of God to flow through them, into our soul and then out of our soul into our body.
We have to tune into the fear of the Lord, to get this gateway open and flowing. We tune into the fear of the Lord by becoming aware of His holiness. He is all seeing, all knowing, he is a consuming fire.
It is through this fear of God gate that the river of fire can flow through us totally sanctifying us spirit, soul, and body.
Proverbs 14: 27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Psalm 25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
We tune into the holiness of God, allowing His Spirit to search every area of our life, we see all our thoughts, actions, attitudes, feelings in light of His Holiness.
We want the fear of the Lord flowing into our soul, into our mind, our conscience, our imagination, and our choices.
Through our fear of the lord gate we are actually partaking of the holiness of the Lord.
We open our reverence gate, so that the honor and the respect of the Lord can flow through it.
Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe. Hebrews 12:28. Hebrews 12:10 speaks of another objective for which God is working: that we will share His holiness.
We open our worship gate which is Obeisance (Obedience, A manifestation of obedience; an expression of respect; to bow down and worship), Surrender, Submission
1kings 1:15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag “my father is a wanderer” the Shunammite “double resting place” ministered unto the king. 16 And Bathsheba daughter of an oath” bowed A verb meaning to bow down.
