DIVINE – CREATIVE BREATH
reath is very powerful, for we breathe the breath of God. Breath is
God Himself, His spirit. Inhaling and exhaling is ignored by our
western ideologies and our traditional religion yet the power of it is
very evident. Scientists have already proven the effects of controlled
breathing. When you breathe with intent, you are commanding your total
being to come into order so that you can become more focused as to what
you ought to do.
Breath can make you invincible. Breath is the intense action of God, which
is the Living Energy, the Mighty Force, and the Moving Power of the Divine
Presence. Breath is the I AM responding back to God. There is a giving and
a taking; a constant recycling, for God is not a waster. With God, nothing is
ever lost. Not even the breath that we breathe.
The breath is the essence of prayer. It raises your consciousness to the
understanding and realization that you are the prayer. Prayer is God’s
language, so breath emerges as the language of God. The breath connects
man to his God, man-to-man and spirit to spirit. The word spirit in Hebrew
is “Ruach”, or the wind.
E V E R Y T I M E Y O U O P E N Y O U R M O U T H , Y O U P R O P H E S Y !
When we begin to prophesy to our situations and circumstances, we
breathe life into them, even as God breathed life into us. How you breathe
will determine whether your circumstances are blessed or cursed. The
breath does not only give life, but it also gives “Form” and “Definition”.
Guide what you say with your mouth because your tongue will determine
what comes into your life. Life and death is in the power of the tongue,
God is waiting to see what you do because God gives you choices. The
prophetic word is God’s breath. True breath is formless; therefore, God
waits for us to give form to the formless.
The prophetic word has the power to resuscitate you. The prophetic has
the power to inspire or expire. “Stir up” the ministry, calling, and gifting
inside of you. The breath brings your thoughts from the realms of “wish”
into the reality. Notice the “mystery in uprightness.” Man is the creature
that God has given the right to stand upright.

The breath is eternal because God is eternal. This whole universe declares
the glory of God. The breath only dwells in living temples. Man is made in
God’s image, man is spirit, and spirit is eternal. God is the originator.

The mind metaphysically is represented as a field of uncultivated thoughts,
where anything and everything grows if left undeveloped through self-
discipline, and self-mastery. You see, man breaths at two levels of his
being. He breaths at the uncontrolled and voluntary level which is the
subconscious level, where you don’t have to think about your breathing. At
this level your breath is not mastered nor expressed with intent. You do it
every night when you sleep; your subconscious takes on the operation of
controlling your breath. Then there is breathing at the awakened or
intentional level of breath control. When you start to breath with intent
and focus you begin to express your mind with more self-control and self-
mastery.

Each and every single breath that you take vibrates all your emotions and
desires into the universe, and every time you breathe, the elements of your
thoughts are imprinted into the vibrations of your every breath. Deep
breathing is a form of giving birth to the spiritual things inside you, the
unseen potential of I AMNESS.
Controlled breathing is used for relaxation and for entering oneself into a
state of oneness and focus. Effective breathing increases your mental and
physical health and the flow of energy throughout your entire being. Now if
you take for granted how powerful your breath is, consider the
consequences of what breathing incorrectly does to your life.
C O N S E Q U E N C E S O F I N C O R R E C T B R E A T H I N G
Unclear breathing blocks out the flow of energy in your body.
When you feel pain and do not deal with it through your breathing it
becomes a hindrance and can cause physical sickness in your life.
Your body gets rid of 70% of toxins through your breathing, and if not
done correctly it keeps them inside your body inform of illness and
harmful bodily fluids.
Improper breathing can also cause skin diseases.
Y O U R D A I L Y B R E A T H
You breath the daily breath of thought in the oneness of your Body/ Mind/
and Spirit when you realize that you and your Father God are the same
One. This is the nature of thinking that Jesus was teaching his disciples
when he taught them how to pray. “Give us this day our daily breath”
6 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
There are two levels in which you inhale oxygen into your body and
exhaling it again. First there is the low breathing level which is the area of
your chest, where at this level your breathing is only restricted to that
upper level of your body. Then there is the deeper breathing, which is at
the abdominal level in your belly region. When you begin to experience
breathing at this level of the belly which is the controlled and directed level
of your breathe, you allow your whole body to have the expression of
oneness within itself. Your whole body becomes energized with the
sensation of tranquility and total surrender to your mind and spirit.
Deep breathing at the level of your “I AM” Consciousness calleth unto the
Deep that’s in God. The deep of your Mind calleth unto the deep of your
Spirit, as you become centered in the oneness of thought and
consciousness. When you start to breath from the deep of your belly you
ground your thoughts and emotions in the power I AM Consciousness.

HERE ARE SOME BREATHING EXERCISES THAT YOU CAN TRY ON YOUR OWN
Lie down (or sit on a chair) and get comfortable. Rest your arms
at your sides so that your arms are not crossed over your chest or
stomach. Close your eyes for a minute and focus your thinking
and imagination.
Before you begin the meditation, always clear your body of
tension by teasing and relaxing your body three or more times.
Tense every muscle in your body: feet, legs, buttocks, stomach,
shoulders, fists, face; consistently after tensing your body for a
few seconds, relax your muscles again and rest for 30 seconds.
Now take three big breaths from toes to head, letting each go
with a sigh.
From now on begin to breathe in and out of your nose. (If your
nose is too stuffy for efficient breathing, it is all right to breathe
through your mouth and open throat). Throughout your
meditation always keep your body relaxed possession.
As you are in a state of relaxation I want to begin to take notice of the
energy tensions throughout your body, and so also notice the quality
of light in your mind. Is it a combination of light and dark, or is a just
dark, begin to open to the experiences of your sensations.
Now take 12 deep, full-relaxed breaths in and out of your relaxed
abdomen. As you breathe, don’t let he breath paused or disconnected,
let the in-breath melt right into the out-breath. After your twelve
breaths, shift to a quiet breathing for a while. Feel the sensations in
your body and the quality of light in your mind.
Again take 12 deep, full relaxed breaths in and out of your relaxed
abdomen, always staying in a comfortable zone.
Practice these forms of breathing until you are pleased with your
achievements. When you feel that you have gained from this excises
and wish to rest, always tell yourself that you are grounded and you
are able to relate to the effects of normal activities.

THE MYSTERY OF GENESIS (PRT 1)
n part 1 of the Mystery of the Genesis, we will come across two parts of
the Trinity i.e. Mind and Idea in mind in part two we will be introduced
to the third part, which is manifestation. The law of manifestation for
man is the law of thought.
“God ideates”, man thinks.
One is the completion of the other in mind.
Trinity thus is mind; idea in mind and manifestation of ideas.
GOD C REATED SPIRITUAL MAN ~ C ONSIDERED IT GOOD:- Likeness and image
The only begotten Son, the Christ,
The Lord God, Jehovah, the I AM
In the 2nd chapter, this divine idea of perfect man forms the manifest man
and calls his name ADAM. [The whole of chapter one is a super-mental
statement, of the ideas on which evolution is based].
God, the universal mind, brought forth an idea, a man, perfect like himself
and that perfect man is potentially in every individual, working himself into
manifestation in compliance with law.
To understand the creation of the universe by God, we must know
something of the character of God. Jesus said, “God is Spirit.” The works of
God, He said were done in Him (Jesus), and through Him. “The Father
abiding in me doeth these works.” That God is an intelligent force always
present and always active is the virtual conclusion of all philosophers, thus
corroborating the statements of Jesus. God is eternally in His creation and
never separates from it. Whenever there is evidence of creative action,
there is God.

9 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
“The Spirit of God” or Divine intelligence moved upon “the face of the
waters”. “Waters” here represents unexpressed capabilities, the mental
elements out of which all is produced. Man is conscious of unexpressed
capabilities within himself, but only as he moves upon mind substance with
intelligence are his inherent Spiritual qualities moulded into forms. Light is
intelligence, a spiritual quality. It corresponds to understanding and should
precede all activity.
At the beginning of any of our creations we should declare for light. Our
declaration of truth (God) is instantly fulfilled in Spirit (Father of lights) –
(The true light). All that emanates from God is good. In the process of
bringing forth our jokes we need a certain degree of understanding in
order to properly regulate our thoughts.
The light must be divided from the darkness, as in Divine Mind the light
was separated from the darkness. “Day” represents the state of mind in
which intelligence dominates. “Night” represents the realm of thoughts
that are not illuminated by the Spirit of God.
The second step in creation is the development of faith or the “firmament”.
“The waters” represents non-established elements of the mind.
The second day’s creation is the second movement of Divine Mind. The
central idea in this day’s is the establishment of a firmament in the “mist of
the waters” dividing the “waters from the waters”. “Waters” represent
unexpressed possibilities in mind. There must be a “firm” starting point or
foundation established. This foundation or “firmament” is faith.
“Moving upon” the unformed capabilities of Spirit consciousness. The
Divine Logos – God as creative power, gives forth the edict “let there be a
firmament.” The first step or ‘day’ in creation involves “light” or
understanding, and the second ‘day’, faith in knowing quality of mind.
The word is instantly fulfilled in Spirit. “And God made the firmament.” This
does not refer to the visible realm of forms but to the mental image in
Divine Mind, which deals only with ideas. In every mental state we have an
“above” and a “below.” Above the firmament are the unexpressed
capacities “waters” of the conscious mind resting in faith in Divine Mind.

C A P A B I L I T I E S “ W A T E R S ” O F T H E S U B C O N S C I O U S M I N D
The word “Heaven” is capitalized in this passage because it relates directly
to Divine Mind. Faith “Firmament” established in consciousness is a state of
perfect harmony; therefore “Heaven” of mind unfoldment has been
attained. “And there was evening and there was morning, a second day”.
“Evening” represents completion and the “morning” following represents
activity of ideas.
10 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
The third step in creation is the beginning of the formative activity of the
mind called imagination. This gathers “the waters…together into one unto
one place” so that the dry land appears. Then the imagination begins a
great multiplication of forms and shapes in the mind. The first day’s
creation reveals the light or inspiration of spirit. The second day establishes
faith in our possibilities to bring forth the invisible.
The third day’s creation or third movement of Divine Mind pictures the
activity of ideas in mind. This is called expression. The formative power of
mind is the imagination, whose work is here represented by the dry land.
There is much unformed thought in mind “the heavens” that must be
separated from the formed.
In this proclamation “the earth” is the mental image of formed thought and
does not refer to the manifestation of the world. God is Divine Mind and
deals directly with ideas. “Seas” represent the unformed state of mind. We
say that man is (at sea) when he is in doubt in his mental process. In other
words he has not established his thoughts in line with the principle
involved. The sea is capable of production, but must come under the
dominion of the imagination. Divine Mind images its ideas definitely and in
every detail! The idea precedes the fulfillment. “Let there be” represents
the perfect confidence necessary to demonstration.
Ideas are productive and bring forth after their kind. They express
themselves under the law of Divine imagery. The seed is within the thought
and is reproduced through thought activity until thought habits are
formed. Thoughts become fixed in the earth or formed consciousness. In
Divine Mind all is good.
Again a definite degree of mind unfoldment has been attained. Man, in
forming his world, goes through the same mental process, working under
divine law. Jesus said, “The seed is the word of God”.
The forth step in creation is the development of the “two great lights” the
will and the understanding or the Sun (the spiritual I AM) and the moon
(the intellect). These are but reflectors of the true light; for God said, “let
there be light”: and “there was light”- before the sun and the moon were
created.
The “firmament of heaven” is the consciousness of Truth that has been
formulated and established. In the second day’s creation a firmament was
established in heaven (realm of Divine ideas). This firmament divides the
day (illumined consciousness) from the night (unlimited consciousness.)
Through faith the “lights” are established, that is, understanding begins to
unfold. The “signs”, “seasons” and “day’s and years” represent different
stages of unfoldment, we gain understanding by degrees.
11 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
The earth represents the more external process through which an idea
passes, and corresponds to the activity of an idea ìn mind. In the “earth” is
the body consciousness, which in its real nature is a harmonious expressing
of ideas established in faith substance. Änd it was so”, that is, an idea from
Divine consciousness is instantly fulfilled.
The “greater light” in mind, is “understanding” and the “lesser light” is the
“will”. The greater light rules “the day”, the realm of consciousness, which
has been illuminated by the Spirit. The lesser light rules “the night” that is,
the will, which has no illumination by (no light or day) but whose office is to
execute the demands of understanding. The will does not reason, but its
harmonious relation acts easily and naturally upon the inspiration of the
Spirit. Divine will expresses itself as the I AM in man.
The “star” represents man’s perspective faculties, including his ability to
perceive weight, size, color, sound and the like. Though concentrating any
of the faculties (‘stars’) at its focalizing point, one may come into an
understanding of its action.
Divine Mind first imagines the idea, and ten perceives its fulfillment. Man,
acting in co-operation with Divine Mind, places himself under this same
creative law and thus brings his ideas into manifestation.
The idea is the directing and controlling power. Every idea has a specific
function to perform. When our ideas are constructive and harmonious we
see that they are good and realize that their power to rule is dominant in
consciousness. Evening stands for the fulfillment of an idea and marks
another “day” or step or degree of enfoldment in consciousness.
The fifth step in creation is the bringing forth of sensation and
discrimination. The “Creatures” are thoughts. “The birds in the open
firmament of heaven” are the ideas approaching Spiritual understanding.
“Waters” represents the unfolding substance of life, always present as a
fecundating element in which ideas (living creatures) increase and multiply,
just as the earth produces a crop when snow with seed. The “birds”
represent the liberated thought or ideas of mind (Heaven).
In connection with the body, “water” represents the fluids of the organism.
The “sea-monsters” are life ideas that swarm in these fluids. Here is
pictured Divine Mind creating the original body idea, as imagined in the
[‘20th verse’].
In the second chapter of Genesis we shall read of the manifestation of this
idea. Idea, expression, and manifestation are the steps involved in bringing
anything forth under Divine Law. The stamp of God is placed upon Divine
ideas and their activity in substance.
12 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
In the fifth day’s creation, ideas of discrimination and judgment are
developed. The fishes and manifestation are the steps involved in bringing
anything forth under Divine Law. The stamp of God is placed upon Divine
ideas and their activity in substance.
In the fifth day’s creation, ideas of discrimination and judgment are
developed. The fishes and fowls represent ideas of life working in mind, but
they must be properly related to the unformed (seas) and the formed
(earth) worlds of mind. When an individual is well balanced in mind and
body, there is an equalizing force flowing in the consciousness, and
harmony is in evidence.
Another orderly degree of mind enfoldment is fulfilled. Another step in
spiritual growth is worked out in consciousness when the individual enters
into the quickening of his judgment and seek to conform his ideas to those
of Divine Mind.
On the sixth day of creation ideas of life are sent into activity. “Cattle”
represent ideas of strength, established in substance. “Creeping things”
represent ideas of life that are subtle in their expression, approaching
closer to the realm of sense. They are the microorganism. The “beasts”
stand for the free energies of life that relate themselves to sensation.
Divine ideas are always instantly set into activity. “And it was so”.
Underlying all these ideas relate to sensations, which in their original purity
are simply ideas of life functioning in substance, is the divine idea of life.
When life is expressed in divine order it is pronounced good. What is
termed “sense consciousness” in man is not to be condemned but lifted up
to its rightful place. “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even
so must the Son of Man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth on Him have
eternal life”. When the ideas of life are properly related to love and
wisdom, man will find in them eternal satisfaction, instead of sense
pleasure.
Wisdom and love are the two qualities of being that, communing together,
declare, “let us make man after our likeness”. This is the mental image that
in truth we call Christ. The Christ man has dominion over every idea
emanating from Divine Mind.
The creation describes in these six days or six “steps” or stages of God-
Mind, is wholly spiritual and should not be confounded with the
manifestation that is described in the succeeding chapters. God is mind,
and all His works are created in mind as perfect ideas.
This statement of man’s creation, “And God said, let us make man in our
image, after our likeness”, has always been a puzzle to people who read
the scriptures literally. The apparent man is so at variance with the
description that they cannot reconcile them. Theologians began first to
13 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
admit that the Garden of Eden Story was an allegory, and now they are
including the whole of Genesis.
But this is more than an allegory; it is a description of the ideal creation. In
their calculations, energies often use mathematical symbols, like letters [x,
y, z] to represent qualities not yet given precise determination, but carried
along for development at the proper time. Involved in these symbols are
ideas that are to be brought out in their proper order and made visible
when the engineer’s plans are objectified.
So man plans in his mind that which he proposes to builds. First the idea,
then the visible. This is the process through which all creation passes. God
makes all things in His mind first, which is involution, then they are made
into form and shape, and this is evolution.
In some such way then we can think of man as represented an ‘X’ in God’s
plan or calculation. God is carrying man along in His mind as an ideal
quality, the image – and – likeness man of His creation, and His Divine
plane is dependent for its success on the manifestation by man of this idea.
The divine plan is furthered by the constant idealism that keeps man
moving forward to higher achievements.
The image –and-likeness man pours into mankind” a perpetual stream of
ideas that the individual man arranges as thoughts and forms as substance
and life.
While this evolutionary process is going on there seems to be two men,
one ideal and spiritual and the other intellectual and material ,which are
united at the consummation, the ideal man, Christ.
When the mind attains an understanding of certain creative facts, of man`s
creative power, it has established a directive, intelligent centre that
harmonizes these two men (ideal and spiritual vs. intellectual and
material). This directive centre may be named the I AM. It is something
more than the human ‘I’. Yet when this human ‘I’ has made union with the
image – and – likeness ‘I’, the true I AM comes into action, and this is the
Christ Jesus, the Son of God, evolved and made visible in creation according
to divine law.
God indicated two universal planes of consciousness, “the heaven and the
earth”. One is the realm of pure ideas, the other, of thought forms. God
does not create the visible universe directly, as a man makes a concrete
pavement, but He creates the ideas that are used by His intelligent “image
and likeness” to make the universe. Thus God’s creations are both material
and spiritual, according to His understanding.
Mental activity in Divine Mind represents two phases: first, conception of
the ideas and secondly, expression of the idea. In every idea conceived in
mind there is first the quickening Spirit of life, followed by the increase of
14 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
the idea in substance. Wisdom is the “male” or expressive side of being,
while love is the “female” or receptive side of being.
Wisdom is the father quality of God, while love is the mother quality of
God. In every idea there exist these two qualities of mind, which unite in
order to increase and bring forth under law.
Divine Mind blessed the union of wisdom and love and pronounced on
them the increase of Spirit. When wisdom and love are unified in the
individual consciousness, man is a master of ideas and brings forth under
the original creative law.
“Seed” represents fundamental ideas having within themselves
reproductive capacity. Every idea is a seed, that’s sown in the substance of
mind, and becomes the real food on which man is nourished. Man has
access to the seed ideas of Divine Mind, and through prayer and
meditation, he quickens and appropriates the substance of those ideas,
which were originally planted in his I AM by the parent mind.
Providence is made for the substance of all the ideas emanating from
Divine Mind. The primitive forms of life are fed on “herbs”. They have a
substance force that is food to them, even as the appropriation of divine
ideas is food to man.
Divine Mind, being all-good itself, sees only its own creation as good. As
man co-operates more fully with Divine Mind, imaging only that which is
good, he too beholds his production with the “single” eye, see them only as
good. The sixth step in creation is the concentration, in man, of all the
ideas of Divine Mind. Man is given authority and dominion over all ideas.
Thus is completed another step in mind enfoldment.
In the sixth mental steps or “mind movement” called days, Elohim God,
creates the spiritual universe and spiritual man. He then rests. He has
created the ideas or pattern of the formed universe that is to follow.
15 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
THE MYSTERY OF GENESIS (PRT 2)
The manifest man is the man that we see, the man we behold with our
senses. Manifest man evolves or makes manifest the ideas that exist
eternally in Being.
T H E S P I R I T U A L M A N I S T H E M A N W E B E H O L D I N O U R I D E A L S
“God-mind (Elohim)” created a spiritual man first, in whom are conceived
to be present, all the attributes of his source. God forms man in spiritual
substance, in the “dust of the ground”
The various ideas are being “clothed upon” that is, made manifest. The
manifest man is an idea until the Elohim mind in the I AM or Jehovah forms
begins its process of expression (clothing in substance = dust of the
ground.)
“Ye are the temple of the God”. Eventually the manifest man and idea man
merge into one, as Jesus said, “I in them and thou in me, that they may be
perfected into one”. The body is the temple in which the Christ holds
religious services at all times. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God
and that the spirit of God dwelled in you”.
Under the direction of Christ consciousness, a new body is constructed by
the thinking faculty in man, the material entering into this superior
structure are spiritual substances, and the new creation is the temple or
body of Spirit. When a person has the realization of this true Christ body,
he feels the stirring within him, of this body of the indwelling Spirit of
Christ. He knows what Paul meant when he said, “There is a natural body,
there is a spiritual body.” If any man is in Christ he is a new creature: the
old things are passed away; behold; they are become new.”
Jehovah, I AM, breathes the breath of life into Adam who names the
animals (the elemental life forms in which he exists) and becomes co-
creators with Jehovah God in bringing forth His own perfection.
The ideal man (spiritual conceived) God implanted in him the dominion and
power necessary to bring forth the perfection of his Father, God Mind. “Ye
therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” said Jesus.
16 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
The planes of Divine Mind we finished although there was as yet no
outward manifestation [Gen 2: 1-3]. All is finished first in consciousness
and mind, then “rests”, the ‘rest’ precedes manifestation.
The seventh day refers to the mind’s realization of fulfillment, its resting in
the assurance that all that has been imaged in it will come forth in
expression. To hallow the seventh day is to rest in stillness, quiet, and
peace of the silence of Mind. “Be still, and know that I am God.” To hallow
means to keep holy. Holiness is resting in the conviction that there is no
lack in the absolute law absolute law that is the law of God.
One creates first in the mind by idealizing the desires object and then
resting in the assurance that the law of manifestation is being fulfilled. God
has finished creating His universe, including man, and is resting in His
perfect idea. God rested on the seventh day. Our Sunday is a symbol of the
true Sabbath, a time when men turns away from business and the
pleasures of the senses to seek a day of quiet and holy rest. The great
Sabbath, the rest of God, is for all who will enter it.
It is a state of mind in which we rest from outer work, cease daily
occupation and give ourselves up to meditation or study of things spiritual.
The Sabbath also symbolizes an attitude of mind in which we relax the
outer consciousness, let go of all thoughts about material things, about the
affairs of daily life, and enter into the stillness of the consciousness and
begin to think of God and His law. This Sabbath is kept any time we enter
into spiritual consciousness and rest from thoughts about temporal things.
Then we let go of the external observance of ways, because every day is a
Sabbath on which we retire into Spirit and worship God.

THE MYSTERY OF I AM CONSCIOUSNESS
“And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and
that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? And he said,
Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have
sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall
serve God upon this mountain. And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I
come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your
fathers hath sent me, What is his Name? What shall I say unto them? God
said unto Moses, I AM hath sent me unto you.” Exodus 3v11-14
INTRODUCTION It is surprising that when things seem to be normal one never takes into
account the issues of ones identity, or who they are seriously, but as soon
as there is a mission to do this, then one starts to look into “Who am I” to
do this. New orders will always demand a change in ones character,
because one needs to start looking beyond his/her name. We sometimes
make up excuses like “I am still young or I can not speak well enough,” and
subsequently wasting time in what you have to do.
~ B E C O M I N G ~
The word I AM comes from the verb “to be” and denotes being and
becoming. It is that which is within you that makes you the way you are;
we live not in the world of being, but also, in a world of becoming. We are
in a constant state of creation and in all that is being made, man does not
create but his Spirit does. All that is needed from man in creating is co-
operation by allowing the Spirit to work in him and through him, because
only Spirit can search the deep things of God. It is through your spirituality
that you bring to the surface things that are embedded deeply in your
thoughts and Spirit man. (I Corinthians 2v10-13)
Creation is processed when the spirit acts on the pure image (ideas). The
Spirit projects the strongest suggestion acting on the impulse of the
strongest suggestion given to the mind. Becoming into this consciousness
of at-one-ment with Spirit is to come to the realization of being and
without that realization life is incomplete as the spirit seeks self-expression
through manifestation.
18 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
As we identify our bodies, our conditions, ourselves with Spirit, which is the
marriage of being and becoming, for you are divinity at work. This is life in
essence which permeates all persons and all things, the thing within
everything that makes it what it is. Man therefore contains within himself
the capacity of Being and through his words; uses the creative principles of
Divine mind to Become and create.
~ C O N S C I O U S N E S S P R E P A R A T I O N ~
One particular ruthless Pharaoh ordered the number of all male Jewish
babies (Exodus 1v22) unwilling setting the stage for one of the greatest
ironies of history. Moses’ parents hid him in a watertight basket in a
swamp. There the tiny baby caught the eye of Pharaoh’s daughter (Exodus
2v5). The very edict indented to destroy the Jews led to their deliverance.
When Moses was adopted into the palace –(palace of higher
consciousness) and got the benefit of a superb classical education, God’s
plan had started.
His plan was to raise a person (appointed already) in an environment of a
different mindset and not a fearful, slave mentality person for the
deliverance of his people. The time for deliverance had come and the God
in Moses – the image had magnified so much that it was time for
manifestation. He manifested in a burning bush, the creative mind in him –
acted to create the image (idea) that it has cerate to itself, thought to form,
as it was put inside him before the foundations of the world.
In Exodus 3v4; Moses responds to the call by saying, “Here I am”. Moses
was taking two levels, the I am he is answering to and the I am who is
answering. I am mind and I am thought. Mind of God in Moses speaking to
the lesser consciousness in him, it was time for action. Romans 12v2 “…be
ye transformed by the renewing of the mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Moses had to prove he was
given an opportunity to grow and expand his awareness and level of
consciousness.
He had to pull and carry the whole nation to the level where he is;
therefore he was to be engaged in a perpetual process of becoming. He
had to establish an adequate image of himself – to start becoming what he
thinks he is, (Proverbs 23v7). For God had said to him “I have made you a
god to pharaoh…” Exodus 7v1. All God was saying to Moses or expected
Moses to say to himself was “I am God”.
He had to create a new image of himself a call card, a sign around his neck
(Deuteronomy 6v6-9) starting to all “this is who I am” God was challenging
him to a higher order capable of higher accomplishments.
~ I D E N T I T Y A N D S E L F - A W A R E N E S S C O N S C I O U S N E S S ~
As a man thinketh, so is he (Proverbs 23v7). This is the person I think I am.
A mental, physical, spiritual picture you hold of yourself. It is your private
19 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
and personal opinion of what you think you are. It is an evaluation of who
you are; what you have and what you think you can be. Once a mental
blueprint has been formulated by your conscious mind, it is accepted by
your subconscious as “the ay I am”. What you think you are, you will
become. Self-Awareness is one of the greatest assets you can have. Image
that which you want to be and you will be.
It all begins with what you have (Moses had a rod that later changed into
the rod of God). This self you are now meeting, perhaps for the first time is
the You of you, I am that I am. Your mind is Spirit invisible and your body is
Spirit materialized. God, by using the rod of Moses was creating an image
in the mind of Moses. Something for Moses to behold.
It can be said: individual consciousness determines your destiny. Your level
of consciousness depends entirely on you for no one decrees which state of
mind you must accept. Take charge of your thoughts and keep them of a
strong nature and new horizons will open up to you. You are building a
consciousness pattern every hour of the day. There is little sense in
attempting to change external conditions; change inner beliefs first, and
then outer conditions will change accordingly.
Hebrews 11v1: Faith is the substance of things…thoughts are things – they
crystallize into habits – habits solidifies into circumstances and
manifestation. When attitude change, conditions also change, leading you
to greater accomplishments. You can control the rate of your mental and
spiritual development, for you are free to select the manner in which to
perfect your life. Update your mental ideas and begin to progress and
experience new vistas never dreamt possible.
Recognize your closeness, inseparableness of you and God for you are
made in His image and likeness, His nature and character and internal
quality in you. Adam through Eve chose the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, instead of choosing the tree of Life. By choosing the tree of Life
they became limited, but thank God that the man He had longed for but
had never been on earth is now seen and presented in the New Testament.
That man (consciousness standard or level) of course is Christ. It is in this
resurrected consciousness in Christ that we have our identity for in Him we
live, we move, we have our being. Anything outside Him is witchcraft.
Looking at the time where Christ would express Himself.
He would say: “I am the bread of life” (John 6v35); I am the way, truth and
life (John 14v6). If you look at the level John wrote his epistle, he sees
Christ as God, His Deity is in many events asserted in this book. Only seven
incidents are common with other gospels, all other events are peculiar to
John. His identity of Christ was not in his earthly name (which has no
reference to Deity but of the humanity son of God), but in his character
functions and divinity.
20 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
That is why Jesus said I am the same today, yesterday and forever
(Hebrews 13v8), i.e. I am today, I am yesterday, he further said in John
8v58 “before Abraham was I am” – not limited by time. When the chief
priests and Pharisees came to arrest Jesus, as he said to them “I AM” they
went backwards and fell to the ground (John 18v6). As I am in you rise up
in consciousness, all things rise up to meet you I AM. Christ, the word of
God is the true inner self of every individual for he that cometh unto God
must believe that He is.
~ D E C I S I O N A N D V I S I O N ~
You are blessed with freedom of choice, not just to choose the type of life
you want but the level of consciousness you want to operate or live your
life in. The truth of your being is that God is seeking to express creativity
through you, and he does it through your mind when you let Him be. That’s
why he said “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I
have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose
life, that both though and thy seed may live.” – Deuteronomy 30v19
Decision comes when you recognize that you are not where you are
supposed to be, but as long as you don’t acknowledge the different levels
of operation, you will be fooled by complacency. God has poured out his
Spirit, to bring unrest in the hearts of men and woman who still want to
celebrate the deliverance from Egypt forgetting that there is Canaan to
possess. Decide today and acknowledge that there is a higher
consciousness.
I am-Consciousness, is where God is taking or reminding you that you and
him are one that you are in him and he in you, inseparable from him.
Remember that Israel means “prevailed with man and rule as God”. When
God gave Jacob a new name he called him Israel, in the book of Genesis
32v28; “And he said, thy name shall be called no more Jacob but Israel, for
a prince hast though power with God and with men, and has prevailed.”
You cannot rule as God if you are not God. To rule as God you have to
attain the standard or level of God in doing things. Think as God, see as
God, and speak as God.
This is the time to add to your faith and besides this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue; and knowledge 2 Peter 1v5. Only those with a high
level of consciousness will enter Canaan, only those who know they are will
possess all things that pertain to life and Godliness. “According as his divine
power hath given us all things that pertain to life and Godliness thought the
knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given
unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be
partakers of his divine nature, having escape the corruption that is in the
world through lust” 2 Peter 1v3-4
21 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
Start associating with the Joshua’s and the Caleb’s, start-choosing friends,
linger around the great minds for great mind discuss ideas simple minds
discuss people. As you decide, write the vision down – all that was said
about you, “and the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision and make
it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2v2. Be
bold and focus what you desire and link it to your purpose, writing your
truths is the first what you desire and link it to your purpose, writing your
truths is the first step in beginning your own intangible vision, calling and
inspirations.
Dissolve your future fears that your past guilt may also dissolve. Organize
your true self on paper, so that you magnetically impart energy into action
as you continue to view the vision thus forsaking distractions. Some of
questions you can answer are: Where do I come from? Where am I now?
Where am I going and who am I? You will initiate into the higher order of
significance and meaning of your life. An external Change does not
necessarily mean that there has been – or will be – an internal change. But
where there is an internal change [transformation] some eternal change is
certain to follow.
Your relationship to everything and everyone around you, and the way you
experience and live your life, will change because you [I am] will be in
control of the way you interpret and respond to these things. You will make
you life happen instead of allowing life to happen around you.
The walls of Jericho probably seem enormously high, the doors solid and
padlocked and chained and beyond that there’s probably also a moat filled
with ravenous crocodiles. Once we have taken full responsibility for our
own lives we will realize that the level of I am is not something to be
feared. Only through transformation and renewing of our minds can we be
enriched, enlarged and absorbed into the fullness of the Life of Jesus.
Indecision is stagnancy!
~ C O N F E S S I O N A N D A F F I R M A T I O N ~
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open
the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me” –
Revelations 3v20
Jesus in you stands at the door of your consciousness, and knocks, that you
may walk in oneness with him. Start meditating and affirming your I am-
ness, as you take a deep breath, see yourself at-one-ment with God.
Taking a deep breath beholding what is in your mind about who you are –
you’re allowing the thought of who you are to permeate every nuclear
protons, cells, the smallest particles of you, to start producing I am cells.
You’ll be going deep inside you-influencing your sons and they will begin to
22 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
grow on a different level of growth and expand our awareness. Old things
as you breathe in and out will be released, give up those things that have
been attached to you for so long.
This change may be frightening as in the case of Abraham. It’s unfamiliar
and unpredictable, one is tempted to take old members with when God is
saying move out into a different consciousness where I will take you.
“And Terah took Abram his son, and the son of Haran his son’s son, and
Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife: and they went forth with
them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they
came unto Haran, and dwelt there” – Genesis 11v31
Abram received the call and not his father [conscious mind], ye he also
took Lot [ego] and other substances and other souls who would be
problematic on his way according to Genesis 12v4-5.
So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with:
and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran,
and Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and their
substances that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in
Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land
of Cannan they came.
Your father will eventually die because he’ll be bringing the lesser
consciousness into the new and high consciousness and into the issue of
God. To function at the level of I AM is serious.
Genesis 10v12 “And there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down
into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.” Egypt
means bondage to materiality. Abram went out because he said Sarai was
his sister.
Genesis 13v1 “And Abram went out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that
he had, and Lot with him, into the South” verse 3 emphasis that Abram
went back to standing point. Nothing was gained by leaving Canaan.
(Genesis 12v7-8)
Verse 7 emphasizes the fact that the second time giants were occupying
the land, to contest God’s claim on it for his people. Later in verse 7 and 8,
a strife between cousin Lot [ego] and Abram over the land irrupts, and they
had to separate. In Genesis 13v14 God reveals what he had intended for
Abram about the land as if he was waiting for the separation to first
happen.
~ I A M C O N S C I O U S N E S S ~
I am represents the presence of an active awareness in your Christhood. It
is knowing the truth in entering into the dimension of self-realisation. One
is in hell if you refuse to know where God wants you to be, it is a level of
manifestation. It is a level of constantly re-inventing yourself, clarifying and
23 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
increasing the light of consciousness within. As you tap into the higher
consciousness and elevate your thoughts, it is like entering a store full of
sweet-smelling spices. Just as the exotic fragrances linger and accompany
you when you leave, so too when you constantly expand your
consciousness you become a different person after the experience (Isaiah
62v1-12)
The more you review new and elevated truths, the more it becomes an
integrated part of your being, thus having the ability to tap into creative
dimension of Let there be… This is the energy of I am consciousness. This is
where you become self sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency (Philippians 4v13).
You manifest what you are acting out your value systems positively, acting
your Being as if you have already achieved. Take responsibility (Philippians
2v12), raise up to new understanding and be careful what you hear (Mark
4v24).
Rise up to new receptiveness of truth that ensures soil is fertile and ready
for sowing of seed (Mark 4v20), shrug off the past ego protective illusions
and excuses and constraints of wilderness. Accept; embrace the turbulence
of change so that you can be able to focus, most of all, don’t delay any
longer what is absolutely inevitable, do not reason yourself into a better
way of acting. Act yourself into the best way of thinking.
Forsake the times of constant refreshing in the wilderness, being fed with
manna without satisfaction, guilt continuous celebration from deliverance
and get down to work and possession and manifest (Canaan). Be
responsible and accountable, attain wholeness and bear fruit as long as you
live. Wherever you say I AM, that is how you’ll go. I AM determines your
way, so redefine your identity by intentionally thinking about yourself
(Ephesians 3v20, “for He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all
that I could ask or think”)

MEDITATIVE THINKING
DEFINITION OF MASTERY
(1) Knowledge is the inheritance of your consciousness and righteous
illuminates your eye of understanding. Understanding is the eye of the
mind and the spirit of your thinking. Your gain through spiritual
contemplation is the returning to your higher self in understanding. Your
re-ward is the in-her-I-tance of higher consciousness, meaning you go
through the change of thought and awareness because you have inherited
the rewards of meditative thinking. You now have incarnated your mind
with an awakened thought of self-realization.
The expression (her) in, inheritance speaks of the womb of your mind, the
subconscious development of your consciousness. This is where you
reincarnate every thought you create with your imagination. You only have
what you put into the womb of your mind (the subconscious level of
thought). When you understand that your life is patterned by both the
conscious and the subconscious, then you’ll intuitively identify the self with
it’s (in-ness) within inheritance.
We need to first understand that the real journey we travel in
consciousness is the one taking thoughts from finite consciousness and into
infinite consciousness. Your mind seeks the essence of spirit with the
power of thought, an un-renewed mind only knows limitations and its
reality is an illusion. If you cannot see inwardly, then you’ll never incarnate
your desires. By incarnating your desires I simply mean that you will never
manifest your thoughts, embody your dreams and imaginations. Self is the
reward of finding thoughts of self, and you’ll achieve this by directing your
meditative thinking inwardly. The I of inheritance is the I AMNESS in you.
The height and depth of your meditations is your being and becoming both
father consciousness and son consciousness. Father consciousness only
imparts to his son consciousness, this is the Alpha and Omega that is the
all-ness of God in us. The deep of things has to do with the revelation of
the hidden essence that imitates by becoming, the Father-consciousness in
you is forever revealing the sin-consciousness in you, your thoughts are
your sons the mind is its father, emotions are a manifestation of the soul
(originator) as the sons of the soul.
25 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
Son-consciousness is the foundation that initiates the will of father-
consciousness; so master the father and the sons will follow. I am-ness is
always experienced as the cause (father-consciousness) or the effect (son-
consciousness).
So the inheritance of your meditative thinking is the inward transformation
of self-identity into the consciousness of a higher awareness.
A N A T O M Y O F C O N S C I O U S N E S S
M.I.N.D < MY INFINITE NATURE OF DIVINITY>
The only thing that exists independent of all physical circumstances and
limitations is the mind, your infinite nature of the essence that thinks as
God, and is the eye of your spirit. The mind is the abyss of infinite
possibilities that spirit can explore in this realm of human existence. The
spiritual principle is in this, if you do not contemplate your eyes to see the
consciousness of God in your ignorance and evil and lack will manipulate
your spirit to materialize a consciousness that is not of God. This spiritual
principle of the relation between a car and the unchanging state of being
fast can, easily illustrate the divine {spirit} and its divinity {mind}.
Fastness is the quality of Being becoming a changeable expression of the
car. I make this analogy to show that the car {mind} is the traveling state of
being in becoming what the fastness {spirit} already is in essence. Your
mind is like the car that the gets developed and improved in order to fulfill
the mental ability that spirit, as in the fastness, offers it to be in experience.
The one that thing that you must master is your very master, your mind.
Your mind is your master and you its master. This is the only divine reason
why we suffer in our own ignorance, it is not what we rather believe in,
which is the ‘devil’ and his ‘demons’ that cause us to agonize with poverty
and lack, but it is the impoverishment position of perception that we view
the spirit of God with. Being the essence of God is the same as living in the
26 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
awareness of His divine presence, and the mind becomes His divinity.
Divine is the presence; your divinity is in that awareness of His presence.
The spirit of God is always eternally divine, whether your mind is navigated
in that direction or not, but it is the divinity of your mind that causes you to
become as God. to first be inwardly, and God will manifest outwardly. The
only God versus The Devil in this reality is your mind versus your thought.
Become means, be-and God will come!!
( 2 B ) T H E S U B - C O N S C I O U S M I N D
~ Y O U R S U B - C O N S C I O U S I S T H E W O M B O F Y O U R M I N D ~
All the elements of the mind’s nature come from its sub-conscious form of
conception. This means that ever since before you were born you have
been impregnating your mind with limitation or unrestricted boundaries.
Nothing will ever justify your mind’s perception that the manifestation of
your thoughts.
There are three main elements of thoughts that we will focus on as we go
through the sub-conscious anatomy of consciousness.
FIRST ELEMENT OF THOUGHT Thought is the principle and fundamental property that the consciousness
of God is realized in. Thought is the son-ship of being God; your thoughts
are the first thing that you create in the likeness of being God in this realm
of mankind. You discipline your thoughts in such a way that you will say to
yourself, ‘these are my thoughts in whom I am very pleased’.
The only son you’ll ever see face to face is your own thinking, face to face
meaning that it will manifest itself just as it sees the father-consciousness
in your mind act and desires. Your meditating with the imaging of your
thoughts, consummate the subconscious womb of your mind, as the
forebear of your consciousness.
Man is a dominant thought in action.
SECOND ELEMENT OF THOUGHT Thoughts intensify the power of your natural mind. They are the
atmosphere of the mind, and the intensity of your will. Your thoughts are
also at all times affirming ‘not mine but your will’ Everything that you want
you shall have first in thought, then incarnate it in your speech and
personify it with your labour.
Your thoughts function in this capacity as the demonstrations of the sub-
conscious mind, at every moment of your mental sphere. Everything your
mind is, in reality, it is your thoughts that are the manifestation of its
energy. Everything that creates in your life is the energy of your thoughts,
27 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
they the only thing that will ever bring the realities of the mind into
expression and materialization.
The atmosphere of the mind is your thoughts.
THIRD ELEMENT OF THOUGHT Thought is the foundation of your heavenly consciousness and a paradise
of mental tranquility. When God said in the book of Jeremiah, Thoughts of
peace I think towards you, it is a consciousness of heaven that we ascend
into as a place of meditative thinking with our thoughts. These are the
many mansions in my Father’s house that Jesus speaks off, different levels
of meditative thinking. Thought is Lord in your consciousness, so to master
your thoughts is to be lord of lords. The bible reminds us that God send His
only thing that you’ll ever send on your behalf is your thought, your son of
contemplation, to build you a dynasty of prosperity and happiness.
Heaven is an elevated state of your consciousness.
( 2 C ) T H E C O N S C I O U S M I N D .
~ T H E S E A T O F C O N S C I O U S N E S S ~
The soul purpose of having consciousness is to occupy the conscious mind
of man with it. The bible teaches us that Jesus is seated in heavenly places,
simply put, Christ possess the consciousness of oneness with Father God in
the seat of his conscious mind.
The one true substance that we are the occupants of is the seat that rests
the consciousness of divinity (the conscious mind). The only thing that
fulfills is when the conscious mind is fully convinced with the sub-conscious
feeling of conceiving a thought of perception.
The real test is in ‘fooling’ the conscious mind to be what the sub-conscious
‘the womb of perception’ tells it to be. In many situations we’ve been
taught that if you want something really bad, tell yourself that you can get
it and you will.
This is the same as ‘fooling’ yourself long enough until the conscious mind
is fully convinced, and when that happens, that’s when you realize the
fulfillment of your desire. The reality is the consciousness that you
persuade yourself with.
You the essence, are consciousness, and you out pour this level of
consciousness first, in dominating the seat of the conscious mind in
thought, and secondly, with the seed of the conscious mind.
I describe the conscious mind as a seed because it gives off the fruits of
your consciousness. Meaning, once you are conscious of the perception of
self then can you also ripe the thought of self- just as well as you think of
yourself. You are only conscious because you can perceive, and perception
28 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
is the same as your thoughts sitting in the seat of the conscious mind
directing the experiences of your life.
You exist only because you are conscious of existence.
L I V I N G A C O N S C I O U S W A L K O F L I F E
( F O O T P R I N T S O F E T E R N A L M I N D )
The only thing that echoes your footprints in reality is your thought. This is
the spiritual evidence of your existence; thought-prints are the one true
personal journey that mind has within itself. We the essence of spirit travel
the illusions of mankind with our touring thought, experiencing our own
mind. We are exploring this dimension of finite element of mind traveling.
‘If you know where you’re going then you are already there, but if you can’t
remember where you were before leaving then you are truly lost.’
Man has been kept back from his divinity because he has forgotten who he
was before he became flesh, but now, because this is the age of spiritual
awakening; man’s footprints are pacing the hidden paths in his divine
memory.
W H A T I S A C O N S C I O U S W A L K O F L I F E ?
A conscious walk of life is a realization that the journey in our minds prints
is either a walk in ignorance or a trotting of consciousness. If we can live
with the understanding that right versus wrong is always a disguise of
ignorance and limitation of consciousness, we will see that the only good
and evil that is being voiced is the utterance of thoughts either in divine
consciousness or ignorance.

RESURRECTION
he word resurrection according to the Metaphysical Bible Dictionary
means, “the raising of man’s mind and body from the sense to
spiritual consciousness. Accomplished by the quickening power of
the Holy Spirit.”
T H E Q U I C K E N I N G O F T H E M I N D
The quickening of the mind puts us back to our former state when we were
with God even before the foundations of the earth. ‘God created us as
“true Christ”, the perfect ideal man, the one complete idea of perfect man
in Divine Mind’. Due to missing the mark, that is sin, we became fallen
thoughts that need to be resurrected and be brought forth to our original
state. This quickening is only possible through the purging fire of the Holy
Spirit. “For our God is a consuming fire” [Heb 12:29].
The quickening of the Holy Spirit leads us to realize how totally dependent
we are on God the Father. This realization makes us aware that
communication with God is uppermost in our relationship with Him, hence
prayer.
Let us therefore resurrect to ‘understanding the laws that govern prayer’,
for the word of God says, “prayer without ceasing” [1 Thess. 5:17].
P R A Y E R
Prayer is a “master key”. You ay have different keys to different rooms in
the house, but if you have the ‘master key’, you have access to the whole
house. If we affirm that we fulfill that conditions of the laws of creation, let
us therefore come to a realization that prayer has laws that govern it, and
that without the mastery of these laws we are unable to release or realize
the potential within us, ‘to bring about the unseen to manifestation’.
As a Divine thought, prayer is the affirmation of that which is “being”. The
question that might arise is, if prayer is the affirmation of the desired
condition that already is, why pray? We pray to fulfill the condition of the
law of creation, that states, “let there be…” if as a saint we affirm this
truth, then let us learn, know and practice these laws of prayer, to be able
to realize the potential within us that will bring ‘the manifestation’.
We need to know and remember “all things are in God as potentialities”.
They are within you, in the womb of our creative “being”- the
subconscious. This is man share in the process of brining the subjective
reality to the objective reality. Prayer is both a science and an art like all
other sciences. No science is out side God, for God is omniscience. It is an
T
32 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
art that needs to be practiced. For one to qualify as a practitioner of this
science, one needs to be in the state of controlled imagination. For
tranquility and peace of mind [(Psalm 46:10) be still and know…], is one of
the requirements for this practice.
It is of vital importance to mention that FAITH is the essence of prayer and
that it needs to be under grid by UNDERSTANDING. For without
understanding faith stands alone and is not activated. Understanding is in
short the activation quality of “FAITH”.
[1Cor 14:15] “…and I will also pray with understanding.”
[1 Cor 28:9] “…and understandeth all imaginations of the thoughts.”
We need the resurrected, renewed mind of Christ to behold, see and
understand that the law of reversibility is one of the conditions conducive
to realizing our prayers.
Example of the reversal of, the transformation force

T H I S P R O C E S S I S I N T E R – C O N V E R T I B L E .
The importance of this law in prayer is that, it helps to make us understand
that, what we see and perceive with our senses is but an illusion. The
report of the word of God is our “REALITY.”
For example:
Let the sick say “I am healed” [Isaiah 53:5]
Let the weak say “I am strong” [Joel 3:10]
Let the poor say “I am rich”
In all of this the law the truth is that what is contrary to the word is but an
illusion.
The word of God is our “REALITY”. For this reason, Neville says, “a man in
want is Jesus asleep.” To this end when Christ Jesus in us is awake we
become that which God intended for us / towards us. For instance if we
take a prayer of someone whose child went missing, this person must
33 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
believe and feel that the child is found. There should be no doubt in this
persons mind that his request will be for a double minded person received
nothing from the Lord. [James 1:8] “…nor anyone who doubts in his heart.
[Mark 11:23] “granted”.
One of the hindrances to our prayer is that we are inclined to believe our
senses more than our subjective mind. Our habit of regarding space as an
obstacle prevents us from making a successful subjective impression on
one at a great distance – we must subjectively transform ‘here’ to ‘there’.
Prayer depends upon the attitude of mind for success and, not upon the
attitude of the subject. For the subject has no power to resist your
controlled subjective ideas of him, unless he is not in favour of that which
is desired. When the subject cancels that prayer, the prayer goes back to
the sender. This teaches us that our prayers should always wish people
well. If you sent a malicious prayer to a person, if it is cancelled and not
received, it goes back to the sender to manifest in his life – what goes
around comes around.
Therefore, guard your heart with all diligence, and work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling.
In concluding the revelation on the law of reversibility Neville writes, “if a
physical fact can produce a psychological state, a psychological state can
produce a physical fact.” This truth cannot be denied for it is supported and
affirmed by the living word of God.
T H E D U A L N A T U R E O F C O N S C I O U S N E S S
‘I’ and my father are one [John 10:30]. There us no duality between the
father and the son. What we see and behold is one-ness. But, the father is
greater that I. The word of God confirms in [Phil 2:6] that though the son
being aware of this distraction did ‘not’ consider it robbery to be equal
with God [Phil 2:6]
The son knows this one thing that “I of myself can do nothing for the father
doeth the work.” I can do nothing for myself, except that which I see my
Father doeth! There is therefore unity of thought. Can the two walk
together unless they are agreed? [Amos 3:3]
Before I relive the part played by the dual nature of consciousness in
prayer, let us look at what the Father (super consciousness) doeth in the
son (sub consciousness)
The Father doeth the following in the son (subconscious)
Everything you know goes into the subconscious
Everything you do
Everything is where everything becomes possible.
Everything Goes into the subconscious.
34 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
Everything Comes or is Accessed from the Subconscious.
Everything belongs to the subconscious.
With the understanding of the above one will comprehend why it is
important that for prayers to be realized one needs to be one with the
Father. From this understanding it is easy to say that what we are
conscious of is constructed of what we are not conscious of. Remember!!!
We are architects of our own universe. [Prov 23:7] says, “For as he (man)
thinketh in his heart, so is he…”
All our involuntary automatic activities are accessed from the
subconscious. For the word says, guard your heart with all diligence… [Prov
4:23]. We train ourselves through the conscious mind, to form certain
habits and do certain things without having to centre our thought upon
them consciously. For the good nature God gives to us to work in our lives,
we should not make any effort or draw some attachments to it.
Immediately we do that, we defile Gods goodness in us and make it unholy.
The good nature of God must exude naturally from us and we should not
be conscious of it. It should not be conscious of it. It should be like our
breathing in and out. This process of breathing is one with us. We are not
conscious of it.
We said earlier that, prayer is an art that needs to be practiced. Now, as we
practice this art, with the word of God as our manual we naturally store all
the truth of God in our subconscious. For Gods truth to manifest in our
lives, it needs to be activated by Faith, which is the Essence of Prayer.
Without the word of God, which is “food for man” there is no substance for
spiritual consciousness. Our subconscious assumptions will forever
influence our behaviour and also fashion the pattern of our objective
existence.
Remember!!! Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, and
guard your heart with all diligence.
When the subconscious is full of the word of God, the Holy Spirit will
efficiently and effectively do this function without any interference. This
will be done in the absence of conflict between the conscious and
subconscious, thus allowing God-the super-conscious to work freely in the
life of a person. The answer to prayer is only realized in the absence of
conflict between the conscious and the subconscious.
The unity of the super-conscious God and the subconscious Son has the
power to create. Let us make man –objective manifestation in our own
image and after our own likeness. May we therefore say “the whole
creation is asleep within the deep of man and is awakened to objective
existence by his subconscious assumption?”
35 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
Controlled Reverie (day-dreaming or absent minded state)
~ This state of mind is easily lead or controlled.
P S Y C H O L O G I C A L L A W S
This law governs the condition for hypnosis. Hypnosis is ‘a deep sleep in
which the subject acts on suggestions.’ In short the subjective senses are
partly or totally suspended and are locked in hypnosis, but the subjective
faculties are alert. Do you now see the relevance of the condition of this
law to the conditions and laws that governs prayer?
In prayer the subconscious becomes the womb of consciousness where all
subconscious assumptions of man are caused to manifest into the objective
world. The subconscious becomes exposed so as to be directly reached by
these assumptions or suggestions, when the conscious diminishes. He must
increase but I must decrease [John 3:30]. This shows unity and oneness. No
conflict but harmony. The truth of hypnosis is that ‘anyone who is not
objectively aware of you is a profound state of hypnosis related to you’.
In prayer we close out all negativity, come out of the Babylonian state of
mind that holds us captive to the world of the Spirit of God. We become
focused to all that is good and desired through faith. We must also bear in
mind coupled with peace and tranquility.
M E D I T A T I O N
Meditation is another form of prayer. Meditation is without ceasing. [I
Thess 5:17] [Josh 1:8] [Ps 1:2][II Tim 4:15]. “Without that blackness we call
sleep there is a conscious in unsleeping vigilance, and while the body sleeps
this unsleeping being released from the treasure house of eternity the
subconscious assumptions of man.”
The unsleeping vigilant subconscious becomes more active when the
conscious becomes passive. The ideas and the thoughts of the conscious
will be conceived and birthed or objectified by the subconscious. Only fixed
ideals can awaken the vibratory correlates in those toward whom fixed
ideals can awaken the vibratory correlates in those toward whom they are
directed. An ideal setting for a successful prayer is that the suggestions of
the subconscious must be given with conviction and be confidently
accepted by the operator (one offering prayers) as true. For what your
sincerely believe as true of another you awaken within him.
Do not express the slightest doubt as to the results of your prayer,
thoroughly belief in the truth of your mental assertions. Mentally speaks or
create what you desire for the person you are praying for. Then
congratulate him for the success. Make bold assertions, be self confident of
the outcome of prayer.

“Incredulity on the part of the subject is no hindrance when you are in
control of your reverie (day dream). Control of the subconscious is
accomplished through control of your beliefs, which in turn is the potent
factor in the production of visible states. [Prov 4:23].”
T H E L A W O F T H O U G H T T R A N S M I S S I O N
Let us take as an example a sick person who needs our prayer to be healed
and become whole. In this law you can mentally represent the subject to
him. In a state of health and imagine the subject confirm this by saying, “I
am healed.” He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from
their destruction.
When you pray, have clearly defined objectives. It is also important to
make an analogy between a spoken voice and a mental voice. That is to
think is to speak low. To speak is to think aloud.
Memory on the other hand is the ability to mentally see what is not
objectively present. Memory is a proof that the mind is a mirror that is so
sensitive that it can reflect through consciousness is the light reflected in
the mirror of mind and projected to the one whom you think. Subconscious
assumptions are living and active [Heb 4:12], and shall not return unto me
void, but shall accomplish that which I please and shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent them [Isa 55:11].
The question might arise, but who is this light by means of which what
possesses my mind is revealed? This light is “I am the light of the world.” I
am the knowledge that exists. The living word persists until it awakens the
vibrations that correspond with itself within the subject. And as soon as its
creation is accomplished it ceases to be. If you expect an answer to prayer,
remains in that state, lest you return to the former state of lack of faith and
belief by focusing on it. Bear in mind that we are advised not to ‘remember
the former things, neither consider the things of old’. We are ‘spirit’;
therefore we have to be renewed to go back to our former state.
Everything we need is received from Heaven – subconscious. Heaven is
within us. “Man can receive nothing except it be given him from heaven.”
Taking as an example of a person who needed our prayers, if he needs
tones and tones of good health, let him receive that form his heaven –
subconscious. Remembering that John the Baptist was a fore – runner to
Christ. He was the voice Word of God. When the word is full in us we must
mind.
The renewed mind is the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ is Christ. The
word says, “”By his stripes we are healed.” As Christ you say “I am health”.
Let the desire for healing be so strong in you that it resurrects that which is
asleep within.
37 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
Concluding the law of thought transformation, let me quote “the vibration
state transmitted by your belief persists until it awakens its corresponding
vibrating in him of whom it is believed.”
T H E G R E A T E S T P R A Y E R ~ ( I S T H E B E G I N N I N G O F
C R E A T I O N )
When a person prays, he must image, desire, feel, and believe that his
prayer is answered. The truth is “people are what you choose to make
them”. If you say that someone hates you, you are the one who is
responsible for creating that ambience. Look within yourself and deal with
the kind of monster you have created. Ask yourself if ‘hate’ is one of the
issues of your life. As a co-creator with God, your heaven and earth is
formless and void and there is darkness upon the face of the earth, in that
heaven, give your creation the form you want. For the spirit of the Lord,
which helps you to create, is hovering over the face of the waters [Gen
1:2].
“A righteous man transforms the world with his seeing and hearing”. “The
king that sitteth on the throne scattereth the evil with his eye”. Evil is
nothing but the Babylonian state of consciousness that put man’s mind in
captivity. Be free in Jesus name. “If the son of God sets you free you are
free indeed.” When one’s mind is in captivity then Christ in that person has
not yet appeared. [Isa 61:1], Christ has come to proclaim liberty to the
captives. He must awaken Christ in him by subjectively affirming that “I am
Jesus!!!” Man can only see what is awake within him.
As sleep is called by feeling – “I feel sleepy,” so too, is Jesus called by
feeling. Feel that you are Jesus. Christ is one concept of self through which
the realities of eternity are unveiled. Therefore, let God awake and His
enemies be destroyed. God’s enemies are thoughts that stop us from
knowing and believing that we are “Christ”.
38 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
THE MYSTERY OF ONENESS
Let’s study the book of [John 2:1-11]
This is where the Bible teaches of how Jesus did His first miracle in Cana of
Galilee, when Jesus turned the water to wine.
Notice that this was at a marriage that Mary, Jesus, and His disciples were
invited to [v 1&2]. When we see the word marriage we already see the
mood and the kind of ‘oneness-environment-and state of mind’.
In [v 3&4] we see Mary turning to Jesus to say they have no more wine.
Now, notice how the Bible doesn’t say Mary, but rather, the mother of
Jesus. This shows us that the mother of Jesus, as the Bible calls her, is
symbolic of Jesus’ subconscious mind, His female side if you will. “Women”,
Jesus answers, even Jesus doesn’t say mom.
Anyway, Jesus says to her, “mind hour is not yet come”. Notice how in [v
5], the mother of Jesus doesn’t argue with Him, instead she advises
servants (thoughts) to do as Jesus says. Jesus doesn’t ague also [v 7], He
just starts giving instructions. All this shows us of the oneness and
agreement within the mind of Jesus. A part of Him wanted to do this
miracle for the people there, but then a part of Him know it’s not yet time
for Him to do that. He ends up doing it because duality is not His potion.
Notice however, that the Bible teaches that husband should love their
wives (subconscious), while wives are to ‘submit’ to their husbands
(conscious mind). This is a true demonstration of protocol. For you to reach
a state of oneness, your conscious mind must love your subconscious mind.
This means feeding your subconscious with the right kind of food. From
everything that you see or hear, whatever that goes to your subconscious
through your senses. Your subconscious is to submit and show forth
guidance from within. If the conscious mind feeds the subconscious (which
is the womb of creative thinking), will demonstrate love in action.
Notice lastly, back in the book of [John 2], that the first miracle that Jesus
did, was turning water into wine. By science we understand that our bodies
are ‘87%’ water. Well, if you are one within yourself, then your daily life
will be a constant manifestation of the miracle of wine. Wine, by-the-way,
represents joy, laughter, you will show a wine state of mind whether you
39 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
are in your night season or day season. Attain your oneness in thought, and
enjoy an unending wine season in all your thinking.
M E D I T A T I O N E Q U A L S O N E N E S S -
O N E N E S S I S T H E M A S T E R Y O F F L O W
Guru Mokhele teaches that the only way to know God, you must
understand the language of God, which is thoughts. If you want to be one
with God, do that which you see your Father do. When you see your Father
speak in the language of thoughts, flow with him.
Go within yourself in meditation, and you find that God will speak to you
plainly. In [John 16: 17] the Bible says, “These things have I spoken unto
you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you
in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father”. God will only speak
to you plainly when you have attained oneness. This kind of oneness can
only be found within, because this is the oneness that defines God Himself,
and we know of His kingdom to be within.
God is God because he acts like God. A teacher is a teacher because they
teach; a doctor is called a doctor because of what they practice. If you keep
practicing meditation, you become what you meditate upon. When you
meditate on God, you are meditating on oneness, and the only out come
that you’ll see is oneness.
S E E K Y E F I R S T T H E K I N G D O M &
A L L T H E S E T H I N G S W I L L F L O W
The Bible says, ‘seek ye first the kingdom’, and we know that all we can
ever find in the kingdom is oneness. What the Bible is teaching here is that
if ever we want anything to be added into our lives, we must first master
flow. To master flow we must seek the kingdom, which is to seek oneness,
and oneness can only be found within.
A N D T H E T W A I N S H A L L B E O N E
Oneness is attained when two minds walk in agreement. [Amos 3:3] says,
“can two walk together, except they be agreed?” This scripture is showing
us that for us to manifest oneness in our lives, our two minds (the
conscious mind and the subconscious mind) must walk together in
agreement.
Now, remember, we don’t see with our eyes, we see with our mind. The
Bible says, “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light” [Matthew 6:22]. So, this means that,
the light of our bodies is our mind, and our mind should be single. Which is
now speaking of ‘the minds eye’. When you use your minds eye or the third
eye, your whole body shall be full of light [oneness]. This is why the twain
should become one.
40 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
O N E N E S S I S A P R O T O C O L I S S U E !
Protocol is at its simplest, the understanding of flow between you as self,
and governing powers ordained by God, as your God-head. This is to
ensure that there’s order and flow towards oneness. You’ll only be one
with God when you start flowing with your inner guidance. This is also why
protocol is the understanding of role-playing. You experience ultimate
oneness by mastering the role you play in God, because you become one
with God.
God Himself understands protocol; He is the main teacher of flow. When
God said, ‘let us make man in our image’ [Genesis 1:26], He demonstrated
flow and protocol. He said ‘let us’. You see, God, at a conscious mind, knew
to consult with His subconscious before creating men, because He Himself
was following protocol.
The Bible says, “wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto
the Lord” [Ephesians 5:22]. Now, we already understand that our conscious
mind is the male aspect in us, and that the subconscious is the female side
in us. The Bible says our ‘subconscious mind must submit to our conscious
mind. This is protocol at its best. This is the true definition of being oneness
from within. You’ll never be able to follow ‘Spiritual Protocol’, submission
and have a teachable spirit, if your own mind knows no protocol.
Even Jesus understood protocol. Jesus said, ‘I do that nothing of my own,
but I do that which I see my Father do’. Now I understand why Jesus said
‘let this cup pass, let thy will be done’, He was simply following protocol.
This is why He could fulfill the will of the Father, which was all contained in
mastering oneness, and protocol.
M A N I S A R E S U L T O F O N E N E S S
Man is a result of oneness. When God turned to His subconscious and said,
‘let us make man…’ He was saying, let us be one, and create oneness. After
all everything begets after it’s own kind. God can only create God. well,
God is oneness, so He can only create oneness.
Lets look at this scripture even closer, ‘let us make men in our own image’.
This means you are the result of God holistically – conscious mind God,
fusing with – subconscious mind God. This is why the Bible says “…have ye
not read that He which made them at the beginning made them male and
female” [Matthew 19:4]
Y O U A R E T H E O N L Y G O D T H A T G O D K N O W S
God says in [Jeremiah 1:5] ‘before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee…’
God then turns around and says, ‘I am the only God and besides me there is
no other’. God is one God, and God knows Himself, this is why He says He
knew you, even before He formed you.
41 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
In [Genesis 4:1] the Bible says, “and Adam knew Eve his wife; and she
conceived”. When the Bible speaks of Adam knowing his wife Eve, it means
they became one. As we see here that when there’s oneness, there’s
conception. Well, God also knew you before the foundations of the earth,
and what you conceived is oneness within.
D U A L I T Y I S E A T I N G O F T H E T R E E
O F T H E K N O W L E D G E O F G O O D A N D E V I L
Every time you entertain duality in thinking, you are eating of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil. The Bible says, in the book of [Genesis 2:17]
‘but of the tree of the knowledge good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for
in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die’. The Bible also
says, in the book of [Romans 8:6] ‘to be carnally minded is death’. Every
time you entertain duality, you are being carnal, and the Bible says you are
dead, this means you are not manifesting the oneness of God in you, which
then becomes death.
Here is how duality leads to death. The Bible says in the book of [Matthew
12:25] ‘…every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and
every city or house divided against itself shall not stand’. This means
without oneness you’ll be brought to desolation and you cannot stand
because you are that kingdom, that city, that house. The Bible also says, ‘a
double minded man is unstable in all his way’ [James 1:8]. This means he
has no flow. What’s interesting is that, the scripture seems to be saying,
you might have been double minded about one aspect of your life, and
because of that double mindedness in that one aspect, you become
unstable in all your ways, in all aspects of your life.
[Matthew 5:37] says, “but let your communication be, yea, yea; nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil”. The Bible clearly shows
us in this verse, that we should be single minded. When we, you say yes,
say yes, when you say no, say no. If you are unstable and unsure in your
thinking, the Bible says such thoughts come of evil.
O N E N E S S I S A C C E P T I N G Y O U R O W N D I V I N I T Y
People, who don’t grow to the mind state that realizes their oneness with
God, will never accept their divinity. Sadly, this means they may never get
to taste of all that they were ordained to enjoy [earn joy out of] as heirs of
the kingdom of God. We know God to be a just God; He rewards justly, and
according to your sowing you reap. Well if I sow oneness, surely I should
reap my divinity.
When you accept God, as God in you, you walk in understanding of your
divine identity; this is the true definition of oneness. We see Jesus being
tested of the devil, of His identity. When you accept that you are divine,
you accept you are one. In-fact for every time Jesus healed the sick; it was
42 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
also a test in His part. Imagine what would have happened if Jesus didn’t
believe in Himself to begin with.
O N E N E S S - V S - T R A N S P A R E N C Y
A secret shared is a wall dissolved. If we really want to walk in oneness we
should realize that there is no distance between you and your neighbour.
The protective barriers we put up to defend ourselves, prevents us from
being one with others. If we cannot muster oneness with others, how can
we muster oneness with God? The minute we start seeing God in others,
how can we muster oneness with God? The minute we start seeing God in
other, then we can see Him manifest in us.
D O U N T O O T H E R S A S Y O U W O U L D L I K E T H E M T O D O U N T O
Y O U
There is no distance between you and your neighbour. Do unto others, as
you would like them to do unto you. This is because you are actually doing
it to yourself. When you understand oneness, you’ll understand that what
touches you, touches God’s heart. This is why the Bible says, “inasmuch as
ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me” [Matthew 25:40]. So you see, this is how one you are with your
Lord.
E V E N T I M E U N D E R S T A N D S O N E N E S S
The Bible teaches us that ‘Now Faith is…’ [Hebrews 11:1]. Faith is now, in
the present. When you start understanding oneness, you start
understanding that all you need is here now. Time works in oneness.
The only moment that exists is this moment; the only moment that matters
is this moment The Bible says, in the book of [Hebrews 13:8] ‘Jesus Christ
the same yesterday, and to day, and forever’. This means that the Jesus of
old, is the same Jesus of this moment. Time may progress, but it will always
keep to the theme of oneness. So if you want to fix your past, you fix this
moment, and if you want to create it in this moment.
This is why we say prophets can live in a day to come. Prophets understand
that there is no future; it’s just a day to come. All is all already done in God;
we are just playing it out. Prophets understand the concept of a timeless
realm, where God is just God. The Bible calls God ‘the Alpha and the
Omega’. This means that God is the beginning and the end. Which means
the end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end, and alls that’s in-
between is this moment. This is why this moment is the history of your
past, and a prophecy of your day to come.
With every breath you take, you are creating. For you to call yourself God,
it’s because you do what God does, you create. The Bible says ‘in the
beginning God created’, and then the Bible also says ‘there’s nothing new
under the sun’, then again the Bible says, ‘God is doing a new thing’. All
43 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
these scripture just prove that you are in the beginning and you are always
creating, but then the beginning is also the end. Could it be that we are
recreating what’s already been created?
M Y P E O P L E P E R I S H F O R L A C K O F O N E N E S S
[Hosea 4:6], “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” In other
words, ‘my people are destroyed for lack of information’. If they had
knowledge of whom they really are, if they had that information. The word
information is ‘in - formation’. Which is oneness. When you are in oneness,
you are ‘in -formed’. Formed from the inside.
The Bible says, if you are not formed from the inside, you perish. This is the
‘Aquarian age of Jesus the Christ’. This is the age when truth is to fully take
care of us. Everything is going back to truth. This is why the kind of
information that’s in the atmosphere these days, is knowledge of self.
People are waking up to truth. This is why prophets as the forerunners,
should master oneness to its highest degree. They are to demonstrate
oneness and not perish, ‘ D E M O N S T R A T E D G O D ’ .
44 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
THE MYSTERY OF PROPHETIC OFFERING
t is very clear that the people of God are still in bondage when it comes
to giving. It is even worse when you talk of prophetic offering or
prophetic giving as it appears many people get upset when they have to
give to the prophet. It is therefore necessary that we explain why you must
give to the prophet.
A prophetic offering falls under the law of giving and receiving. It is a law of
mind action and it can be learned and applied the same way as any other
law. Jesus’ teaching stands out prominently, because it can be practically
applied to our affairs of every day life. He taught, “Give, and it shall be
given unto you”. This law strangely enough is well accepted in our
commercial world as well accepted in our commercial world as well as in
many other social relationships that we find ourselves involved in except in
the prophetic.
The reason for this is because we have not been successful in making the
doctrine of Jesus a practical standard of everyday guidance, because we
have not understood the law on which it is based. We have not gone
deeply enough into the teaching but have thought we understood it form a
mere surface study. Paul warns us about such things “Ye look at the things
that are before your face”, and Jesus himself also warned us against such
by saying, “Judge not according to appearance”.
That is why then there has to be an awakening that occurs amongst us.
Men are only aware of the effect side of things. The truth that all things
have a spiritual as well as a material identity, and that the spiritual is the
cause side and of greatest value is a revelation, may be slow in coming to
understanding to most people.
In most cases as it is the prophetic it is the material side (i.e.) effect side
that they cling to thinking it to be all that there is, and refusing to let go.
Men have taken the letter or appearance of the Jesus Christ doctrine and
materialized it to fit their beliefs and customs. That is the reason the Christ
message has not purified many. It will easily do the work desired when its
mental side is studied and when it is understood and applied from the
spiritual viewpoint.
There is a need for reform, and all true reform begins with the individual.
Jesus began there. He did not clamor for legislation to control men or their
actions. He called His twelve apostles and through them individually
I
45 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
instituted that reform which has, as its basis an appeal to the innate
intelligence, honesty, and goodness in every man. He told them “GO ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.” That is
what I am about to do with you now.
T H E P R O P H E T ’ S R E W A R D
We are all acquainted with the fact that one has to get a reward for the
services that one has rendered. However this fact seems to be working
everywhere else except in the house of God. When we do give in the house
of God, we are doing from an attitude of lack. In [Matthew 10:40-41] we
hear that:
“ H E T H A T R E C E I V E T H Y O U R E C E I V E T H M E , A N D H E T H A T
R E C E I V E T H M E R E C E I V E T H H I M T H A T S E N T M E . H E T H A T
R E C E I V E T H A P R O P H E T I N T H E N A M E O F A P R O P H E T S H A L L
R E C E I V E A P R O P H E T ’ S R E W A R D ; A N D H E T H A T R E C E I V E T H A
R I G H T E O U S M A N I N T H E N A M E O F A R I G H T E O U S M A N
S H A L L
R E C E I V E A R I G H T E O U S M A N ’ S R E W A R D . ”
Firstly we need to be aware that God speaks through a prophet. There is
always that Oneness that exists between a prophet and God, which you
rarely find in other men of God. So whatever reception is given to a
prophet, determines the reception you will receive from God. Our
ignorance of this relationship causes us most of the time to even miss our
reward as we normally take prophets for granted. The scriptures assure us
of a reward if we receive a prophet. I believe whenever a prophet gives out
God’s word over your life he is providing a service to you, and therefore
has to be rewarded for it.
Could it be that our lack of acknowledging the need for a gift for a prophet
is the very cause of the lack of manifestation of the prophecy that has been
given to you? Do you know that the type of gift you have for the prophet
might determine at times the kind of blessings to come your way. It can
also prompt the prophet not to necessarily give a word from the Lord, but
decree something special for you, which could be your reward.
If we are to do what God says we must do, we have to educate our
Christian folk of what God’s expectations are of all the people we minister
to? God’s law is based on love and justice and it equitably and
harmoniously adjust all the affairs of men. It goes even further for it
restores a harmony and balance in both mind and body that results in
happiness and health as well as prosperity
We all know that love and justice are mighty powers, and all things must
eventually come under their influence, therefore us as prophet’s in training
who operate in right thinking and consequent just action, have a mammoth
of a task to introduce these ideas into the Christian race, no matter what
46 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
obstacles we meet until we pave a way for their universal adoption. We
have started and the school is rapidly gaining headway, and every reader
and student is asked to give it a driving force, by resolving to give full value
for everything you get. Demand the same for everything you give, but do
not try to enforce that demand by human methods. There is a better way:
Think of yourself as Spirit working powerful spiritual forces, and know that
the demands of Spirit must and will be met.
W H A T A T T I T U D E I S P R E V A I L I N G W I T H I N Y O U
W H E N Y O U M A K E Y O U R G I F T ?
Our inability to give out from abundance is because of the mentality we are
beholding. We need to steadily hold to the thought of the omnipresence of
universal supply, see it in its perfection and its swift action in filling every
apparent vacuum or place of lack in our lives. If you have been in the habit
of hoarding, change your thought patterns to generosity. Practice giving
even though it may be in a small way. Put real substance into your gift by
giving the substance of the heart with the token of money or whatever it
may be.
Through the power of your word you can bless and spiritually multiply
everything that you give. See yourself as the steward of God handing out
His inexhaustible supplies. In this manner you are setting into action
mental and spiritual forces that eventually bring large results into your
visibility. Be happy in your giving. God loves a cheerful giver because his
mind and heart are open to the flow of the pure substance of being that
balances all things
Do not give with any idea that you are giving to charity. The idea of charity
has infested the Christian consciousness for years and is responsible for the
great army of dependents in the church. Do all you can to annul this mental
error? Let me tell you that there is no such thing as charity as popularly
understood by man. Everything belongs to God and all His children are
equally entitled to all.
The appearance that one has a surplus and gives some of it to another does
not make the one a benefactor and the other a dependent. The one with
the surplus is simply a steward of God and is merely discharging the work
of his stewardship. When one asks for divine wisdom and understanding
about giving it becomes a joy both to the giver and the recipient.
We find that just as there are many people who recognize the need to give
to the ministry, there are also quite a few who do not understand why.
First there are those who are in bondage to the idea of covetousness, and
secondly there are those who still are in bondage to the idea of charity.
Both these classes need education and treatment to release them from
mental limitation. The difficulty class to heal is the covetous individuals,
because of the mental bias that prompts them to get everything as cheaply
47 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
as possible, including the kingdom of heaven. They must be patiently
educated to be just because it is right, and to learn to ‘let go’ of the
acquisitive spirit and replace it with the spirit of generosity.
They will do this readily enough as a mental drill but are not so willing to let
go of the money symbol. What will be necessary for them is to continually
be in the silence, supplemented with affirmations, which eventually will
bring the healing. They will have to learn to give generously and freely not
from compulsion or for the sake of reward but from a love of giving. I
cannot but emphasize that everyone should give as he receives; in fact it is
only through giving that he can receive. Until the heart is quickened and
the mind is opened up to Truth there is no permanent healing.
T H E N E C E S S I T Y O F O B E D I E N C E W H E N G I V I N G
The scriptures have revealed that whenever someone gave an offering of
obedience, a blessing always followed it. This tells me only one thing that in
order that the plan of giving may be successful, there are several things
that must be observed. First there must be a willing mind hence the
scripture says: “if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man
hath, not according as he hath not.”
Second the giving must be done faith and there must be no withholding
because the offering seems small. Many of the instances of giving that are
recorded in the Bible as worthy of special mention, and blessing are
instances where the gift itself was small. The widow who fed Elijah in his
time of famine gave him a cake made with her last handful of meal. For her
faith and her generous spirit she was rewarded with a plentiful daily supply
of food for herself and her sons, as well as for Elijah. “The jar of meal shall
not waste; neither shall the cruse of oil fail.”
It is not the amount of the offering that is given that determines the
blessing, but the spirit in which it is given determines its value and power.
“And Jesus sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the
multitude cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in
much. And there came a poor widow and she cast in tow mites, which make
a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I
say unto you, this poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting
into the treasury; for they all did cast in of their superfluity, but she of her
want did cast in all she had, even all her living.”
This poor widow exemplified what is to give in faith. Does two mites
represent such a great gift that the Master Himself should give such praise?
This shows that it is not the amount but reflects the results of giving in
faith. Therefore it would be appropriate for me to say that the results of
giving in faith are just as sure in this day and age as it was in the time of
Jesus, for the law is unfailing in all ages.
48 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
B I S H O P J O R D A N F U R T H E R E M P H A S I Z E S T H I S T R U T H B Y
S A Y I N G :
“Giving is not measured by how much you give, but it’s measured by
how much you have left over after you’ve given”
A third requisite for keeping the law of giving and receiving is that the
offering shall be just and fair proportion of that entire one receives. As to
how this should be done is clearly illustrated by Paul in the book of the
Corinthians when he says: “As he may prosper…” There is certain
definiteness about this, and yet it acknowledges the freedom the giver has
in exercising his individual faith, judgment and will whenever he makes an
offering.
We need to get out of our religious thinking that when you give to the
prophet you are enriching her/him. We pay big amounts of money to
receive counseling from a psychiatrist, who at the end of the day uses you
to heal yourself. Why then do we want to deny the prophet the wage of his
labor? We expect him to see for us, intercept issues on our behalf but are
refusing to have him fed. This is no different from wanting to withdraw
from an account that you have never deposited funds into.
Let us be careful not to dry up the well of our prophets, not that God
cannot take care of them. He was able to sustain a prophet through an
unclean creature, and if he did it then he can still do it now. However He is
giving you and me an opportunity to demonstrate our potentiality in him,
so let us obedient and do as he instructs you.
L I F E B E G I N S W H E N Y O U A R E C O N N E C T E D T O T H E P R O P H E T
When you are locked up in a situation that you do not know how to get rid
of, or what solution to arrive at, the best person to unlock it for you is a
prophet, but what do you have to give in order for you to receive your
blessing: [I Samuel 9:6-7] states as follows:
“The servant said to him. Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, a man held in honor; all that he says surely comes true. Now let us go there. Perhaps he can show us where we should go. Then Saul said to his servant, but if we go, what shall we bring the man? The bread in our sacks is gone, and there is not gift for the man of God. What have we”?
The Israelites knew that they could not go to a man of God empty handed.
The Bible teaches us this and therefore we should also learn not to go to
the prophet empty handed, but to always put a gift beforehand. What do
you have to show forth today as your gift? Make sure it is a gift with
substance.
49 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
PROPHETIC EMPOWERMENT
ccording to Bishop E. Bernard Jordan, prophetic empowerment is
rooted in giving. Within the broader spectrum of giving, the first
and most important is giving and seeding in the life of your pastor.
Giving in this regard has to be done with a view of reaping. In other words,
it must produce a harvest. Reciprocally, the pastor has to assist the
congregants by evaluating and pitching the standard of the gifts and gifting
to lead where harvesting will be of true benefit to the giver or sower.
Pursuant to the above outlined, both the pastor and the giver have to be of
one mind and accord as to what in essence constitutes a worthy gift. The
pastor must not accept and receive anything that comes, nor the giver, give
anything he/she comes across. Prophetic empowerment means just that.
Empowerment the giver, in order for the giver to receive reciprocally and
prophetically according to the value of the gift.
Prophetic empowerment rests on the understanding that the Spirit is
subject to the prophet and not the other way round. Subsumed in this far
reaching scriptural truth is the point that you do not give “as the Spirit
leads” far more often than not the gift whose value the giver wants to
receive in return.
Whenever you give or seed in the life of your pastor, you seed and give the
end result you wish to receive and to harvest. Within the prophetic realm,
you give prophetically, which means you give by faith, looking up to your
desired future, to the things hoped for, things not yet seen, yet believing
God to bring them about. As the good Bishop says “Whom you sustain will
determine how you are maintained”
The Lord says, “It benefits a little mountain, ‘the ministry’, and not its
ministers – pastors”. It’s like physical exercise, it benefits but a little.
Within the prophetic order that we follow, that of Mar Elijah, we are the
prophets of prosperity. Our emphasis is on bringing God’s people to a new
day, where they will begin to have their lives perfectly superimposed on
God’s plan and purpose. This new order will, naturally also imply that the
lives of the people become a living sacrifices, holy and acceptable before
God.
Implied in this is that God will then, in due season provide a lamb to be
sacrificed on their behalf as he did to Abraham and his ‘to be sacrificed’
son, Isaac. As that stage is reached the reordering of God’s people’s lives
will become their normal and rightful manifestation daily.
A
50 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
Have you ever wondered why the scripture such as “My God shall supply all
my needs according to his riches in glory” sound in reality so hollow? Well,
it’s because there is no such scripture verse anywhere in the Bible.
Secondly, it’s because the right scripture is also quoted out of context. I
would like us, now, to look at that right scripture verse and contextualize it
so as to derive the desired effect from it. The scripture is found in
Philippians 4v19. Before quoting this verse, let us examine its context first,
and having contextualized it, then proceed to unpack it verse 16 and 17
read thus “For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my
necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire Fruit that may abound to
your account”
These two verses are prelude to the popular verse 19. They clearly indicate
how verse 19 came about. The Philippians gave and met Paul’s personal
needs and made his work for the Lord more bearable and effective. He also
explains the purpose of giving i.e. that “fruit may abound to your account”
you have to create an account by accounting to the needs of your pastor so
as to have fruit abound to your account.
Fruit is harvest, and harvest presupposes planting and seeding. Verse 16
and 17 are for the giver or the average Christian, be he/she an elevated son
or not. That verse or line belongs to one person only, your pastor. He also
cannot just invoke it into your life. It will not work.
It follows God’s law of seedtime and harvest time. So under what
conditions and circumstances does this verse apply? It is Godly response of
a Godly minister of God who desires the best for you after you have done
more than enough. Note that prelude “for even in Thessalonica ye sent
once again” this clearly indicates that a habit had been established.
A habit of giving, not only when Paul was in Philippi but wherever he was.
So, once this habit, this pattern begins to be discernable, the pastor has to
bestir this blessing upon the giver or seeders. After all these things have
been done, the Bible says “But I have all, and abound; I am full, having
received the things which were sent from you, an O D O U R O F A S W E E T
S M E L L , A S A C R I F I C E A C C E P T A B L E , A N D W E L L P L E A S I N G T O
G O O D . ”
Only God has affirmed that the sacrifice is pleasing to him, which means
that, except for the giver expecting to reap a wealthy harvest, there were
no subtle innuendoes like control, manipulation or concomitant evil, God
confirms that the gift is pure, without any defect. It’s like a lamb without
blemish; God will never do anything except he reveals it to his prophets.
Invoked by ‘surely’ 2Chronicles 20:20 and is well pleasing to God, then God
gives the go ahead. BLESS HIM/HER.
51 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
Then that Pastor can rightfully say “But my God shall supply all YOUR
needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” This blessing stands
on the same spiritual plane, as God will do no such thing without revealing
it to his servants, the prophets. Its important that you believe this,
otherwise it will be of no value nor consequence in your life. You may as
well plot it out of your Bible. It will never have any desired effect on your
life.
S E C O N D L Y ; C E L E B R A T E Y O U R P A S T O R
You cannot give cheerfully into the life of someone you do not respect.
Neither can you receive from the life you do not honour. If you do not
support your pastor with Word and Deed, you cannot sincerely support
him / her materially. It will all be a waste of time, money and energy, a true
waste of your life. Rather move it (your life) somewhere else where you
will be welcomed or appreciated, I simply said where you will submit and
commit.
Only your submission and commitment means the World to God. Not
you’re being appreciated. So, do not be too conscious of any good thing
that you do because it will put you on the spot. Do not let the left hand
know what the right hand is doing. Once you mature to this degree, you
shall have proven that you have outgrown servant hood and God will
promote you until then, sit tight.
Prophetic Empowerment demands that you celebrate your pastor.
Celebrate the Christ, the God in them. God is a God of protocol. Create an
ambience conducive for your own personal growth by actively promoting
your pastor and the interest of the ministry. At all costs, do not attempt to
purposely and deliberately out pitch, and malign your pastor where
possible, cover his/ her skirt and do not allow people to discover his/ her
nakedness, for otherwise they will discover yours too.
Remember that in the prophetic it is said that you meet no one but
yourself. So the situation is your own creation. Deal with it maturely,
consider this, it is the same Pastor who has to pronounce those living
words to you.
“My God shall supply all” your enunciator must be on the same spiritual
wave length. Otherwise it’s just religion and it will bear religious result. Pie
in the sky
Your pastor is Christ’s ambassador to you. He is a shepherd, however wise
as the sheep you may be, you will never know or notice when draught and
famine comes nor when the enemy is around, or even if you do, you are
powerless to do anything about it unless your pastor steps in. the only time
God will allow you to see through the spiritual eye is when your pastor is
not walking as he should. In that instance the order of God is compromised
and God may use alternative measures. Even then it will be obvious to a lot
52 E D I F I C A T I O N O F T H E S E E R S
more people. But remain a sheep and not a goat. Stay in support just like
David did to Saul, that’s why God elevated him and called him his friend, he
earned it. You should as well. How you treat your pastor is exactly how you
treat Jesus Christ, no less, no more.
Where does Prophetic Empowerment lead? It leads to your dreams. It
unlocks them and unleashes an all-encompassing empowerment that goes
beyond money, prosperity, happiness and honour. It sets you up to be
noticed by both friend and foe alike. It makes the wise to actively seek your
company.
It elevated you like Solomon and you must have the Queen of Sheba,
coming into your life to admire you and enquire from you concerning this
wisdom from above. And this wisdom from above says: “your dream will
not be unlocked until you unlock the dreams of another”. This is the truth
and wisdom the rich young man who enquired of Christ as to what to be in
order to inherit the kingdom of God missed. God wants you to come into
your wealth, your empowerment. Your wealth must command respect and
admiration. What you do with it must glorify God and elevate you, God
won’t elevate until you have learned to elevate someone else in your life.
In conclusion, your pastor is your master key to prophetic empowerment.
The quality of your gifts will determine quality of what you receive and
retain from God. The respect and honour you render upon your leader is
in-direct proportion to the respect and honour you give to Jesus Christ. You
cannot love him any more from Christ that that which a righteous and God
fearing Pastor releases you into. He determines the pasture and you
determine the rate and degree of gazing in that field. If he is your
shepherd, he is your Lord. He is God’s gift to you, accept it and proper and
be prophetically empowered.

his is to mainly explain why we meditate. It is very important to
define what you are doing before you engage in doing it, less you do
it amiss. With meditation it is even more crucial to know what you
are doing, because when you meditate, you become open. Now, if ever you
meditate ignorantly, you just may find yourself spaced.
The Bible says, “Be still and know, that ‘I Am’ is God…” [Psalms 46:10]. This
means meditate. Shut down from all the ups and downs in and around you.
When you do this, the Bible says, you’ll know who God is. The reason you
know who God is by going within or by being still, is because God is in you.
God-in-you, is constantly speaking, but you don’t hear Him because you are
not being still, and you end up not knowing who God is.
Meditation is the creator of oneness. David understood that I AM is God.
He understood his oneness with the Almighty. This is why every time David
fell in with some trouble, he always ran to God, and not away from God.
Because David knew that I AM is God, he knew who he is. He just figured,
well, if I AM made me in His own image, then I AM that I AM, how can I
then run to any other fro refuge.
ACCORDING TO WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY
Meditation is to engage in thought, it is contemplation, or to plan in the mind. Meditation is an extended or intended thought.

hen God begins to meditates, (yes He does meditate) he finds in His inner self
nothing but you. [Psalms 8:4] “What is man, that though art mindful of him?
And the son of man that thou visitest him” the Bible here is teaching us that God
does meditate. We know this because the Bible says ‘…thou visitest him.’ To ‘visit’ means
going within, it means meditating. Realize what the Bible says about men, “thou art mindful
of him”. You are full in the mind of God, you are all he can think about.
Now we understand what it means for us to be called co-creators. As a matter of fact, when
God created animals, and said it’s good, he meant that they still need more work. The word
‘good’ can always be improved on. This is why He gave Adam the responsibility of naming
them. Well, it’s the name that gives the nature. So you see as a co-creator, you are such a
part of God that you complete His work, taking it from ‘it is good’, to ‘it is perfect, it is done.’
In the book of [Jeremiah 29:11], the Bible shows us an example of what we should find when
meditating, following in God’s footsteps. In this scripture we read that God finds peace, not
evil, when He meditates. He says ‘I know the meditations I have towards you, they bring you
an expected end, so have nothing to worry about’.
In-fact I believe that God had to go within Himself, for Him to say ‘let us make men in our
image’. He simply touched a part of Him that was in His inner, in His womb of creative
power. So you see, we can create through meditation. This is why the Bible says ‘as a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he…’ [Proves 23:7]. You are creating through your daily
meditations.

he more you meditate, the more you gravitate towards oneness. Meditation is
actually key to the mastery of oneness. People who meditate trust themselves
because they are one within themselves.
When you become one within yourself, you start thinking like God. When God tested
Abraham, by having him sacrifice Isaac, he tested him with what God Himself had mastered.
God had Abraham give his son, because God Himself knew what it means to give His only
son. God was testing Abraham’s oneness. In the same way he brought provision for
Abraham, God already knew of the harvest from giving with His only begotten son. Abraham
by passing this test became God because he understood how God thinks.
Now, when you meditate, we get to know how God works because we become one with
Him, and when you are God you judge yourself. This simply means everyday, at the end of
the day, you go within and meditate. This is advised because you get to judge that day as
God. Also, when you wake up, before you do anything, just take a few minutes to go within
and create your day, you’ll be amazed the oneness you’ll attain just by doing this.
[Joshua 1:8] teaches, ‘…meditate day and night’. What this means to us is that we should
meditate even in our night season, when we can only see so much light in our lives. No
matter what you are going through, you should always be able to go within, where you’ll
always find oneness. You see, because you are the light of the world, every time you go
within, you find light, and then all your days are just light whether day or night.

MEDITATION #3 DOORWAY TO RENEWAL OF HEART
M I N D E Q U A L S H E A R T
H E A R T E Q U A L S M I N D
henever the Bible speaks of the heart, it is speaking of the subconscious mind.
We already know the subconscious to be the womb of all our creative thinking.
When the Bible says guide your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the
issues of life [Proverbs 4:23], the Bible is saying guide your subconscious with all diligence for
out of it comes the creation of your thoughts.
When the Bible says, renew your mind, it actually means renew your heart, which means
renew your subconscious mind. This is why we always see people who speak the word of
God, but they do not live the word of God. This happens when a person speaks out of their
conscious mind. They can speak all these Godly teachings, but the issue is about what you
have in your subconscious.
Now, it’s easy to renew the conscious mind. This is the awakened part of you. Awakened to
what you see and hear. To renew this part of your mind means just changing usual habits,
especially what you see and hear. But the issue is the subconscious, because this where
creative thinking is conceived. In-fact the Bible says, “”I the Lord search the heart…” which
means that God cares about what is in your subconscious mind, more than what is in your
conscious mind. This is because in your subconscious mind you are God; you are God
because you create.
Now, about meditation. [Psalms 19:14] says, “let the words of my mouth, and the
meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight…” When we are in constant meditation,
we are constantly in oneness with God. This means the meditations of our hearts
(subconscious) become God’s meditations. This means we become God.

MEDITATION #4 DOORWAY TO TRANSFORMATION

editation is always connected to transformation. If meditation is going within,
then whatever you find will manifest without. In the story of the so-called Lost
son, whom we call the radical son (not prodigal), in [Luke 15:17] we see how he
came to himself, how he meditated. When he did, he found infinite possibilities. He started
realizing that he can change his state.
[Romans 12:2] reads, “and be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind…” This verse is saying we should renew our minds for us to be
transformed; yet it does not say how we should renew our minds. Now, there are a lot of
things that people do to renew their minds, it may take a change in clothes or a change in
food. Here is one relevant way – meditation.
When you meditate, you go back to who you really are, to whom you are within. In the book
of [John 11:41], the Bible says “…and Jesus lifted up His eyes…” This is the same as, ‘and
Jesus meditated’. Jesus had to go within Him, to bring back a transformed Lazarus. How do
we know that he was transformed? Well, Jesus said in [v 25] ‘I am the resurrection and the
life…’ that word resurrection means transformation, which Jesus then transferred to Lazarus.
Besides, the Bible says that Lazarus’ body was already stinking, which would mean it had to
be transformed.
Through meditation we get to see and feel how God wants us to be. We get a chance to shift
our focus from daily routines, and common activities, because they are always influenced by
what we see with our physical eyes. We begin to be transformed when we see as God sees,
and we no longer conform to the standards of this world.

MEDITATION #5 DOORWAY TO WISDOM AND GUIDANC E

editation is listening to the voice of God in stillness. All the answers you’ve ever
asked for are within you. This is why when you go to psychologists, you find that
they keep asking you questions and you are the one who comes up with the
answers. Now, when you are ‘still’, in meditation, God deposits a seed-thought of Divine
guidance and wisdom.
God, in meditation, opens you to new inspiration. This is why it is well advised that you
meditate when you wake up, before you do any other thing. This is when you are at your
freshest, what you basically do, is create the rest of your day. Take a few moments in silence
and think on things you would want to do. If you practice this form of meditation, you will
find that all your days are filled with peace and tranquility. You will find that God will deposit
guidance on how you should experience your day with wisdom and divine balance.
In-fact remember that you are advised to do this kind of meditation also just before sleep.
Take a few moments to reflect on the day. When the Bible speaks of ‘in that day of
judgement’, it doesn’t mean some day that in the sweet of ‘in that day of judgement’, it
doesn’t mean some day that in the sweet by and by. The Bible teaches us of ‘NOW faith’.
Practice this way of meditating, and you find that in all your ways in your daily actions, you
are with divine guidance and wisdom.
Guidance and wisdom is a protocol issue. ‘Spiritual Protocol’ is the heart beat of God that
every prophet should learn how to follow. As we know, it brings order into our lives; it
creates oneness and the spirit of flow. Now, because we are many members all with a
different function, yet one, in one accord, we need to receive of God’s divine guidance and
wisdom. This we can easily attain through meditation because we go back to that one spirit,
that essence from which we are all a component of. We become the rhythms of God’s
heartbeat.

MEDITATION #6 DOORWAY TO CHANGE OF PERCEPTION

very time you prophesy, you prophesy according to your perception of who ‘Jesus the
Christ’ is to you. Prophecy is the revelation of Christ, prophets prophesy according to
the revelation of Christ to them. This is why perception is key for all prophets.
Perception is heavily linked with identity. When the devil tempted Jesus, he constantly said
‘if thou art the Son of God, turn this to that’ [Matthew 4:3&6]. This shows us that Jesus’
perception being tested, always said, ‘I do that which I see my father do’ – I know who I am
therefore I know what role I play. He always followed protocol, that’s what perception will
create in you.
