This content explores the concept of the "hidden man of the heart" or the recreated human spirit, emphasizing its spiritual nature as distinct from the mind and body. It posits that true spiritual growth and connection with God are achieved by aligning with and listening to this inner spirit, which is empowered by divine nature and love.
this is an unveiling of the Hidden man
of the heart it is a study in what
psychologists have called the
subconscious mind it is an attempt to
reveal yourself to you modern
psychologists do not really know man
because man is a spirit and they delve
only in the realm of the senses thus
they cannot become acquainted with the real
man Man was created in the same class
with God he is an eternal spirit his
senses were given to him to contact the
physical world he was given reasoning
faculties so that he might use the
knowledge that his senses conveyed to
his brain behind the sensal reasoning
faculties is the real man who is a
spirit the church as a whole is
unfamiliar with the recreated Spirit
what we call our conscience is really
spirit if one could learn to listen to
his recreated spirit and keep an
intimate fellowship with the father
there is no limit to where he could go
in spiritual
things the Holy Spirit was given to
guide us into all truth or reality he
finds it a very difficult thing to lead
our reasoning faculties but it is the
normal and natural thing for him to lead our
our
Spirits we have never realized that love
is a product of the spirit and not of
the reasoning faculties faith is also a
product of the spirit we are talking of
the recreated Spirit which has received
the nature and life of the father it has
become United with Christ and received
eternal life life eternal life is the
nature of the father and that nature is
love love is the mother of
Faith you can have no deep Faith Life
without a love life the recreated spirit
is also the Fountain of wisdom and all
of the other fruits of the spirit
5:22 I want you to study this book
carefully look up all of the references
and put the challenge to a real test
Chapter the first the hidden man of the heart
some time ago I was asked to write an
article on the psychology of the new
birth as I began to study the problem I
saw that there is no psychology of the
new birth for the new birth is not
mental but
spiritual psychology has to do with the
mind and the New Birth has to do with
the hidden man of the heart or the
spirit of man you understand that man is
being when he was created in the garden
he was made in the image and likeness of
God he had to be a spirit being because
God is a spirit he was created so that
by partaking of God's nature he might
become a child of God if he were but a
physical being he could not receive
God's nature if he were but a mental
being he could not receive God's nature
he had to be a spirit being an eternal
being who would live as long as God
Lives man had to be in God's class he
had to be created so that he could be
the companion and Associate of deity God
gave him Authority over all the laws of
nature every living thing was subject to
him the same Authority was evidently
given to Jesus during his Earth walk he
ruled the laws of nature changed water
into wine restored the main limbs calmed
the Seas and raised the dead this first
man was a spirit in God's class when he
committed high treason he became a
partaker of Satan's nature he was
actually born again and he became a new
satanic creation because man is a spirit
being it was his spirit that partook of
Satan's nature before the fall in the
garden during his fellowship with God
his Spirit ruled him and his senses were
subject to his
Spirit but when he sinned and his Spirit
received the nature of the adversary it
became subordinated to his senses I
believe that before Adam fell his five
senses played only a small part the
instant he fell his Spirit lost dominion
over he now relied upon his senses
seeing hearing tasting smelling and
feeling he was driven from the presence
of God he was in an enemy world he had
to see clearly lest he lose his life he
had to hear keenly or an animal would
take advantage of him his taste must
tell him what was good to eat his touch
must tell him whether an object was hot
or cold sharp or
rough Adam gained an education through
his five senses his Spirit was being
made the prisoner of his five senses the
psalmist cried bring my soul out of
prison Psalms
142:7 the Hebrew word should have been
translated Spirit instead of Soul it was
the Cry of the spirit for Liberty it has
been the Cry For Freedom down Through the
Ages man's Spirit lost contact with God
his body became mortal subject to death
this was the condition in which Jesus
found the human race when he broke into
the sense realm to introduce the father
to sense knowledge man here are some
Spirit facts man is a spirit he has a
soul the soul is composed of his
reasoning faculties he lives in a
physical body the physical body
possesses the five senses they are the
brain let it be clearly understood that
the brain cannot function without the
senses if a child were born without
sight hearing or feeling he would be
called an imbecile he may have just as
good an intellect as the other children
but the senses have no way to contact it
the brain is dependent upon the five
senses the spiritually Dead Man's spirit
is in harmony with Satan his Spirit does
not object if he commits murder you
remember how Paul told AG grippa I lived
in all good conscience that was during
the time he was consenting to the death
of the
Believers his conscience permitted him
to do it that conscience was the voice
of a spiritually dead man a Satan ruled
Spirit here are some names that the
spirit is called in the Epistles the old
man put off the old man with its doings
the new man and put on the new Man
created after the image and likeness of
God he is also called The Hidden man of
the heart the spirit is the real
man the body is not the real man it is
merely the home in which the spirit
lives the mind is not the real man
because the mind can be destroyed by
senses the real man is the hidden man of
the heart or the the hidden Spirit here
is the proof of it wherefore If any man
is in Christ there is a new creation the
old things have passed away behold they
have become new but all these things are
creation another translator makes it
read like this wherefore If any man is
in Christ there is a new self that is in
perfect harmony with e 36 col 26 where
the prophecy of a new creation is given
a new heart also will I give you and a
new spirit IR will I put within you the
words heart and spirit are used
interchangeably all through the Old and New
Testaments God says that he is going to
give man a new spirit he is going to
make a new man out of him he is going to
give him a new heart or Spirit which
creation what striking statements these
are man is going to be recreated the sin
nature is to be taken out of him he will
no longer be called the old man he is
going to be called The New Man in Christ
as The Sinner he is the Old Man Who
Cannot approach God except through
Christ he does not know him as a father
now God has performed a miracle he has recreated
recreated
him the old man has stopped being and a
new man has taken his place a new
creation comes into being this hidden
self the old self was born of spiritual
death the nature of the adversary the
new self is born of love the nature of
the Father God he is a new creation and
he is created in Christ
Jesus he is going to have a new kind of
walk the old self was in fellowship with
the adversary the new creation is in
fellowship with the father here are a
few valuable facts the old creation had
no standing with God they could not
approach him from the fall of Man until
Christ came no human being could
approach God except under the atoning
goats the new creation man who came into
being on the day of Pentecost could
stand in the father's presence as though
sin had never been there is therefore
now no condemnation to those who are in
Christ Jesus who can lay anything to the
charge of God's elect it is God who has
declared him righteous this new creation
man has become the righteousness of God in
Christ you can now see that Christianity
is God dealing with the spirit of man he
imparts to man his nature making man a
new creation he is as much a new
creation as was Adam in the
garden God makes his contact with man
through his Spirit not his senses the
development of the human spirit is
imperative we have wondered how this
unseen unknown personality could be
developed we know now he is a partaker
of the divine nature the first
manifestation of that divine nature is
the new kind of love the development
then of this new creation is going to be
by the nature of the father taking him
over in other words he begins to walk in
love live the love life practice the
word and fellowship with the father
Jesus Earth walk was a perfect example
of this new love
life the father can unveil the word to a
man's spirit so that it becomes a living
thing in his daily walk love becomes his
natural realm he lives love he thinks
love he is love because he is a child of
love God is love chapter the 2 the new
self man is a spirit being he possesses
a physical body in which he dwells he
has a soul composed of his reasoning
faculties his body enables him to
contact physical things his reasoning
faculties contact mental things his
Spirit contacts spiritual things before
he receives eternal life his spirit is
dominated by spiritual death this makes
it imposs possible for him to understand
truth 1 Corinthians 2:14 now the natural
man receiveth not the things of the
spirit of God for they are foolishness
unto him and he cannot know them because
they are spiritually understood the part
of man that is recreated is his Spirit
Ezekiel 11: 19 is a remarkable prophecy
and I will give them one heart and I
will put a new spirit within you and I
will take the Stony heart out of their
flesh and give them a heart of Flesh
here is a unique suggestion he is
speaking of the new creation he will
recreate their Spirit or heart as the
term is synonymously used he says I will
give them one heart this suggests that A
New Kind of Love Is Coming which will
people Jesus said that they may be one
even as we are one in John 13:35 to 36
we read by this shall all men know that
ye are my disciples if ye have loved one
to another in the 36 chapter of Ezekiel
the 26th verse we read a new heart also
will I give you and a new spirit will I
put within you here is the prophecy of
Creation he is going to take the Stony
heart of selfishness out of them and
give them his own Heart of Love in the
27th verse he says I will put my spirit
within you and cause you to walk in my
statutes there will not only be a new
creation but his indwelling is promised
promised
we can hear Jesus saying he is with you
but he shall be in you 1 Peter 3:4 but
let it be the hidden man of the heart
here we are given a title for the
recreated human
Spirit he is called the hidden man of
the heart he is the new creation man he
is the man the physical body is not the
man it is the temporary dwelling place
for the
man the reasoning faculties are not the
man they are his servants the body is
the home of the five senses or the five
Servants of the man all of the knowledge
that the reasoning faculties ever get
comes through the five senses or the
brain the brain would lie dormant
inactive if the five senses did not
function it would be good to note here
that all of the knowledge that is taught
in our colleges universities and
technical schools has come to man
through these five channels the only way
that man can obtain knowledge or an
education is through these five servants
or members of the physical body Romans
7:22 for I Delight in the law of God
after the inward man here this hidden
man is called the inward man in either
case the hidden man is the man the
personality of the inner man is
Man 2 Corinthians 4:16 wherefore we
faint not but though our outward man is
decaying yet our inward man is renewed
day by day Ephesians 3:16 that would
Grant you according to the riches of his
glory that ye may be strengthened with
his ability in the inward man lit the
outward or the Visible man is the one
street the inward man is the one who
gives this outer man either his
attractiveness or his repulsiveness it
is a very remarkable fact that God deals
with the inward man instead of the outer
man spiritual things are unveiled to
this hidden man of the heart the holy
spirit makes his home in the hidden man
sinc Consciousness comes from this
inward man it is deeply important that
you understand this fact it is the
recreated spirit that convicts of sin in
The Believer and our conscience is his
voice speaking to our reason we stated
before that the hidden man is the part
of us that is recreated receives eternal
life and becomes a new creation one of
our recent translators gives two Co
R 517 like this wherefore If any man is
in Christ there is a new self brought
into being but old things have passed
away behold all things have become new
the reconciliation it speaks of in the
next verses between this hidden man of
the heart and the father God he never
speaks of a Reconciliation between the
mind or the reasoning faculties and God
it is always a Reconciliation of the
heart when I first saw this truth
unfolded it began to have an effect upon
my attitude towards some of the
teachings that I had accepted in my
early days let us think of man as being
in God's class he is a spirit he is an
eternal spirit he is capable of
receiving the nature of God he is
God he is capable of becoming a Son of
God you understand he was created in the
image and the likeness of God that is
spiritual likeness he lost that image in
the fall but it is restored in the new
creation there is a very remarkable term
used in the Pauline Revelation many
times for instance in the first chapter
of Ephesians it occurs in one form or
another 11 or 12
times take this as an illustration F 1on
7 in whom we have our Redemption notice
the first two words in whom in Christ or
in him for a long time that bothered me
I wondered what it meant I Came Upon
something in John 15:5 that helped me I
am the vine and ye are the branches the
branch is a part of the vine the vine is
a part of the branch the two are one in
Ephesians 1:6 he says we are in the
Beloved in Ephesians 2:6 it states we
are seated together we are seated with
this beloved one at the right hand of
the father Ephesians 2: 6 to7 and raised
us up with him and made us to sit with
him in the Heavenly places in Christ
Jesus that in the ages to come he might
show the exceeding Riches of his grace
and kindness toward us in Christ Jesus
in F 210 it tells us that we are his
workmanship created in Christ Jesus you
see this occurred before the
resurrection of the master when Christ
was recreated the father said this day
have I begotten thee in the mind of
Justice the entire body of Christ was
recreated this becomes a reality in us
the moment we accept Christ as our
savior and confess him as our Lord we
then receive eternal life the nature of
the father this makes us New Creations
now come back to the scripture I quoted
wherefore If any man is in Christ there
is a new creation a new self the old
things of the old self have passed away
behold they have become new and all
these things are of God who has
reconciled us unto himself through
Christ Romans 6: 4 to8 we were buried
therefore with him through baptism into
death that like as Christ was raised
from the dead through the glory of the
father so we also might walk in the
newness of Life notice the next verse
for if we have become United with him in
the likeness of his death we shall be
also in the likeness of his resurrection
knowing this that our old man was
crucified with him that the body of sin
might be done away that so we should no
longer be in bondage to sin note the
tense was not is for he that hath died
is Justified from sin but if we died
with Christ we believe that we shall
also live with him ways translation
throws much light on this well then if
that baptism made us share his death it
must have made us share his burial too
it must follow that as Messiah was
raised from among the dead by means of
The Descent of his father's Glory so we
too who arose with him are to be
employed wholly in the activities of the
new life for If by having died like him
we have entered into living Union with
him most certainly we shall shall not be
less so in consequence of having risen
with him this we recognize that our
former self was nailed to his cross with
him so that that body which was the
instrument of sin might be made impotent
for evil so that we could not any longer
be slaves of sin notice carefully that
the part of us that was recreated made
new was the hidden man of the heart he
is called the old man this old man was
crucified with Christ it was neither our
physical body nor our reasoning
faculties but our spirit that is the
part of us that was spiritually dead and
had to be recreated Colossians 3:9 to10
seeing that ye have put off the old man
with his doings and put on the new man
that is being renewed unto knowledge
after the image of him that created him
notice that the old man was put off
crucified with Christ when Christ arose
from the dead a new man arose with him
that new self is the human Spirit now
the physical body which is the home of
the five senses must be brought into
Conformity with Christ who is the head
of the body this brings us to Romans 12:
1-2 I beseech you therefore Brethren by
the mercies of God to present your
bodies a Living Sacrifice holy
acceptable to God which is your
spiritual service and be not fashioned
according to this age but be ye
transformed or transfigured by the
renewing of your mind that you may prove
what is the good and acceptable and
perfect will of God this body is the
home or Dwelling Place of the spirit
this recreated human Spirit wishes to
communicate its Newfound joy to those
about it hidden away as it is in the
human body it has no way of
communication but through the five
senses therefore the first thing that
must be done after one is recreated is
to bring these Five Senses Into
subjection to the recreated human Spirit
and the word when this is done the mind
will be renewed although you are born
again you still possess the same mind
and body that had been under the
Dominion of the adversary this is the
reason that it is so important to renew
the mind and bring it into harmony with
the recreated Spirit you must bring it
into subjection to this new self that
has come into being the the trouble with
the majority of Believers is that their
minds have never been renewed the mind
will never be renewed until they begin
to practice love they must live this
love life that Jesus introduced to the
world the new kind of selfishness If any
man be in Christ there is a new creation
this new creation is born of God and God
is love so the new creation is a love
Creation in our Redemption love went the
limit the cross in the three days of
suffering was Love's limit now we are
born of that love so we have become love
Creations we are partakers of Love's
nature we have the attributes of love
God reproduces himself in the new
creation he makes a Superman of Love
That seeks not his own this new creation
is not provoked by persecution or by
slander or by anything that the people
ruled by selfishness can do you see the
new birth made a new self a new spirit a
new man and it gives to man a new kind
of selfishness it is the selfishness
manifested in Paul and the other members
of that early organization called The Church
Church
it plans to give more than it gets and
it is perfectly selfish in this struggle
to give more than another can give it
denies itself to give more it is really
Christ let loosen
us you can hear the cry Master you died
for me I Live Now for those for whom you
died you became a slave of love for me I
will become a love slave for them in two
c r 513 we read for whether we are
beside ourselves it is unto God or
whether we are of sober mind it is unto
you for the love of Christ constraineth
us because we thus judge that one died
for all therefore all died and he died
for all that they that live should no
longer live unto themselves this
selfishness as I love to call it is the
kind of love that sought the cross for
me you remember that Dear Old Saint
polycarp a convert of John the Beloved
when he was 82 he started on that long
trip to Rome to confess before the Roman
authorities that he was a love slave of Jesus
Jesus
Christ they pled with him in every town
through which he went on his way that a
Stak and awaited him his heart
was set on giving his testimony in Rome
when he arrived he was arrested they
tried him but he refused to recant they
tied him to the Stak and heaped the
around him the authorities pled
with him to blaspheme the name tenderly
he looked at them and said I have served
this master nearly 80 years I love him
he is my Lord and then with a firm voice
he said light your fire and in the midst
of the flame he cried father forgive
them they know not what they do you
could hear him say he loved me he gave
himself up for me if he gave himself for
me it is no more than right that I
should give myself for others it was
love that led him it is love that leads
the way of unselfishness let us notice a
basic fact there are two great forces in
the world this new kind of love a gape
that Jesus brought which Springs out of
the heart of the father and selfishness
which is the nature of Satan Satan is
spiritually dead spiritual death has
given given birth to selfishness
selfishness has dominated the human race
man is spiritually dead until he
receives the nature of God then the
combat in the world is between eternal
life and spiritual death or between
agapa and selfishness the outstanding
characteristic of natural man is
selfishness it has given to us every one
of the major sins that are destroying
the human race selfishness is the parent
of the liquor traffic gambling and every
other sin the husband who comes home
half drunk doesn't love his family as
much as he loves himself the mother who
has taken on the unhappy habits of
modern society and dares display these
habits in the presence of her growing
children loves herself and her appetites
more than she loves her children the
natural man cannot love his children as
much as he loves himself he cannot love
his wife as much as he loves himself the
natural human heart is a partaker of the
satanic nature selfishness and when that
selfishness gains the ascendancy it
makes the man a desate in his home
filling it with the spirit of tyranny
tyranny
I saw a couple who had lived very
unhappily and had thought much about
separating but there were little
children the father had a Godly
background and so had the mother but
neither of them had ever received
eternal life after the children came
along the wife began to feel the
irritations of bondage and said these
children just robed me of my Liberty the
limitations selfishness began to grow a
pace the home was not a home it it was
just a place where they quarreled and
made up found fault and cursed the
children then one day my little book the
new kind of love fell into the hands of
the husband he brought it home and
started to read it he became so
engrossed in it that his wife wanted to
know what he was reading you see
selfishness is always jealous the Keener
and richer your selfishness is the more
sensitive you become she became very
curious as to what that little book was
finally she said what is that you are
reading he said it is the most most
wonderful book I have ever read he laid
it down on the table and she began to
read it she hadn't read half of it
before she made her decision she had
seen things when he came into the house
she said how far did you read in that
book nearly all of it one of the men at
the office gave it to me he responded
what do you think of it I only wish we
had gotten hold of it when we were first
married in life would have been
different she said he picked up one of
his children and held it in his arms
wife he said would you like to go with
me on this thing I would like to have
eternal life I am sick of my selfishness
she looked into his face and reached out
her hand and said my dear I will go the
whole way with you the two older
children were not home when it happened
and the father and mother did not tell
them about it 3 or 4 days later the
oldest girl said mother what has
happened to you and Dad you haven't
quarreled since last week then the
mother told the story to her and the
girl in her mother's arms whispered
mother I wanted too and so love came to
live in that house after a bit every
member of the household sought to give
the other more than he received Love's
rivalry began to develop the husband and
wife sought to outdo each other in love
you see when two new creation people
love filled begin to practice agapa the
very atmosphere of Heaven is in that
home Love's slogan is I am not seeking
my own but your happiness wouldn't it be
wonderful if we could have classes that
would take up the study of agapa there
has never been a chair of love in any of
our colleges or universities and yet it
is the most important thing in life you
cannot adjust the labor and capital
situation by law or by force it can only
be settled with agapa oh if there should
arise in the labor World a great leader
who could evangelize the labor world and
prove to them that selfishness has never
yet built anything that it did not
destroy sense knowledge has built cities
but it always destroys them few of us
have recognized that there are two kinds
of Ambitions one was born out of the
desire to conquer and to Reign and to
have and to hold no matter what effect
it had upon those who stand in the way
the other is the ambition to give and to
build and to make happy to educate and
to train and to make beautiful glad
homes one is the Jesus kind and the
other is inspired by Satan you know one
of the sweetest things that Paul ever
said was he counted me worthy to
represent love even to represent God to
represent the new kind of love Saul the
hater became Paul the lover I wish that
there could be little societies of men
and women who would come together to
study how to develop this new kind of
love so that they would have the new
kind of selfishness I know a man and
woman who lived very unhappily for
nearly 30 years they could not separate
they talked about it they planned on it
they had even gone to their lawyer to
talk it over but when the real thing
came they could not seem to do it they
received a copy of my book the new kind
of love and then they came to my
services and I happened to be speaking
on this new kind of selfishness he came
to see me a little while after that and
said do you know that my wife and I have
found the thing we have been hunting for
for 30 years we are playing the game now
each one of us is trying to get the
advantage of the other in love four or
five of our neighbors have started to
practice love also one of them came the
other night and said to me you know I
can't practice this love I don't have it
in my heart and then my wife pointed her
to the Lamb of God and now she has that
new kind of love too wouldn't it be
wonderful if everyone of you who read
this book would become an Evangel of
this new kind of love this new kind of
selfishness we have seen the sons of
selfishness become the sons of love we
have seen the old selfishness meet this
new kind of selfishness and be defeated
the great combat today is between
selfishness and love Satan is the symbol
of selfishness Jesus is the symbol of
love chapter the 3 love and
selfishness the two great spiritual
forces in the world here are some things
that love has never done it has never
Enslaved the weaker it never takes
advantage of the ignorant it has never
reigned as a desperate or Tyrant it did
not vote for the wrong traffic it never
steals or takes advantage it never seeks
a divorce it is never in court as a
criminal it never seeks its own it never
behaves unseemly in the family life it
never gets drunk it never sets a bad
example before the children it does not
swear blaspheme or use vile language it
does not remember evil that has been
committed against it it does not talk
about the weakness and failure of others
it does not rejoice in evil things and
it is never happy when its enemy has been
been
defeated this is the negative side of
love you ask what does love do it
seeketh not its own it destroys
selfishness it Bears the burdens of
others when it discovers that someone
has done an unseenly thing it covers it
up it Shields it and never talks about
it can't you see the vast contrast
between selfishness and love it is no
wonder that the commissar under Stalin
who had charge of the educational system
of Russia said we must kill love we hate
Christians love makes men soft we must
learn to hate we must learn to kill that
unbridled in a country where love has
been destroyed it becomes perfectly
Shameless here are some facts we must
recognize there are two kinds of love
one is natural human love the other is
the Jesus kind of love in the opening of
this chapter one gave you a picture of
the Jesus kind of love the kind
communism hates why do they hate this
love because communism is build it upon
selfishness you see there are two kinds
of Communism there is a communism
governed by selfish men and a communism
governed by love following the birth of
the early church there was such an
outpouring of love that they had all
things in common and no one set out that
he possessed was his own Satan has tried
to imitate that through selfishness
through selfish men but it cannot be
done it is a notorious fact that there
are only three or four million
Communists in Russia and they are the
rulers and under rulers of the other 150
or 60 million
people the rulers believe in communism
because it makes them Masters and their
people slaves no form of government
where selfishness Reigns is safe for the
weak and poor sense knowledge
governments have always Enslaved the
poor and weak the strong govern the weak
might is right in the realm of
selfishness these selfish lawmakers fear
the Jesus kind of love for two reasons
in the first place it reveals their
meanness and selfishness the other
reason is that the Jesus Kind of Love is
the positive enemy of selfishness the
two Cann not work together you see
self-preservation is the first law of
natural man it seeks to save itself
while love is the very opposite it seeks
to save others all the crimes that were
committed in war International crimes
were born of selfishness the war between
labor and capital is a war of
selfishness capital is build it upon
selfishness love would never go on
strike love would never grind Labor's
face into the dust the only solution of
the labor and capital problem is to
bring the capital ists into vital
contact with agapa the new kind of love
this new kind of love is the nature of
God imparted to man in the New Birth it
is the only solution of the labor and
capital problem selfishness of a deadly
type is sweeping our land it is bound to
bring a war between capital and
labor Capital has everything to lose in
a war of that kind and labor has nothing
to gain labor is dependent upon capital
for its living the only solution is the
Jesus kind of love the love that he
brought to the world selfishness has
given birth to every ideology that is
deadly capital and organized labor is
one of its fruitages one branch of Labor
says we must have communism there can be
no peace in the world as long as
selfishness is ruling there must arise a
man of love with the same ability to
lead men as a Stalin or a Hitler to lead
the forces out of the realm of
selfishness into the realm of love the
love of what money gives is the root of
all kinds of evil when a selfish man
gains the ascendancy in a Community he
becomes a menace to society the church
is the only enemy of selfishness when I
say church I mean the new creation folk
the people who walk in love not the
church as she is today many of the
leaders of our denominations are
modernists and even Communists spiritual
death the nature of Satan has given
selfishness to us the nature and life of
the Son of God has given to us love and
the conflict today is between love and
selfishness love awaits a leader to
build a new type of Christianity a new
type of men who will teach cooperation
rather than exploitation it will either
be that or we will become the slaves of
another Hitler as long as selfishness
Reigns the strong will enslave the weak
the intellectual will enslave the
ignorant the classes will enslave the
masses the French Revolution did not
solve the problem of France Stalin did
not solve the Russian problem Hitler did
not solve the German problem we have one
tremendous responsibility facing us and
that is prayer the only solution of the
impending problem is to bring God on the
scene we need a national Revival not a
Revival of religion but a Revival of
eternal life only eternal life will give
us the new Love law that should rule us
chapter the fourth the spirit of man for
years we were mystified as to the source
of thoughts we knew that they were not
the children of reason they flashed upon
us they came leaping at us from nowhere
beautiful Melodies would float into our
Consciousness and gain the Mastery over
us poetry would some beautiful couplets
to which reason did not give birth
Solutions of problems that had bothered
us for days came to us unsought
unheralded inventions and creative
things flashed into our minds
independent of sense knowledge
sources designs of beautiful structures
fabrics and pictures that staggered
reason came floating into the mind as
clouds on a June day pass over our heads
come then we discovered Proverbs 20: 27
the spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah
this spirit is to guide the reasoning
faculties so few enjoy the Lord's lamp
or take advantage of it we learned that
man is a spirit he is in the same class
with God he can live independently of
the body he is eternal we learned that
there are two kinds of Education Spirit
education and mind education we
discovered that the church and our
educational system had never seriously
attempted to understand the real man in
physical then as the child's mind begins
to reach out and becomes inquisitive the
child becomes simply mind and body to us
we are careful to feed its body to build
it up to train the mind and make it
efficient but who has ever taught or
trained the spirit we heard much in
psychological discussions about the
subconscious mind at first we were
thrilled with it then we discovered that
it was nothing but our own
Spirit we found that conscience is the
voice of the Spirit reason is the voice
of our mind and feelings are the voice
of our body there are two kinds of
consciences one of the Christian the
child of God and the other the
conscience of natural man we discovered
that there are three kinds of spirit
development natural man can develop his
Spirit until it becomes a force in him
we see this in Christian Science Unity
spiritualism and other psychological
religions this is the natural
unregenerate human spirit being
cultivated the human spirit is naturally
very religious because it is god- hungry
it is the mother of all human religions
Christianity is God's answer to the
hunger of the human Spirit every human
religion attempts to answer this hunger
and fails the part of man that is Born
Again is the
spirit it receives the nature and life
of God it is our spirit that can contact
God or contact Satan reason cannot find
God since knowledge has been unable to
discover God or the human Spirit it can
see evidences of Creator but it cannot
find him it can see evidences of man's
Spirit but it cannot understand it or
find it in the body natural man's spirit
is dominated largely by evil men have
used it to gain the Mastery over others
for their own ends then there are
demonized spirits men who are controlled
by evil spirits often times they perform
prodigies Miracles it seems the
scriptures speak of this type
necromancers spiritualists and mediums
they are all demon ruled Spirits often
their mind have no part in what they say
demons speak through their lips
independent of sense knowledge these men
can become deeply spiritual and become
deep in the things of Satan the Third
Kind of spirituality is that of the new
creation spirit for a man becomes a new
creation by receiving the life and
nature of God the holy spirit makes his
home in the physical body and dominates
the human spirit that has been recreated
as this is cultured and developed
through the word there is no limit to
its possibilities the effect of the
spirit upon the body is little
understood it would pay Materia Meda to
study this phase of healing Proverbs
15:4 a gentle tongue is a tree of life
but perverseness therein is a Breaking
of the spirit words affect the human
Spirit your mind May cast aside the
unkind words that are spoken but your
spirit absorbs them Proverbs 15:13 a
glad heart mock a cheerful countenance
but by sorrow of heart the spirit is
broken the word heart is used
interchangeably with the word Spirit job
19: two then job answered and said how
long will you Vex my soul and break me
in pieces with words words are more
Stones they are more potent than pen or
brush bones they break not but Hearts
they Crush Proverbs 17:22 a cheerful
heart is a good medicine but a broken
Spirit drith up the bones Proverbs 18:14
the spirit of a man will sustain his
infirmity but a broken Spirit who can
bear it in these scriptures we see the
body we are praying for the sick daily
every man who is sick physically is sick
in spirit for the moment his spirit is
healed his body becomes well our first
Ministry is to bring them in contact
with the healing word Psalms 107:20 he
sent his word and healed them Matt at
Cole and ate the Centurion said to Jesus
but speak the word and my servant is
healed the Centurion recognized that
Jesus healed folks with words words you
cannot heal bodies with words but you
can heal man's spirit with words you
heal the spirit then the spirit heals
the body it is the logos on our lips
that heals the spirit of sick men and
women the word of God is the Healer when
we know how to rightly divide the word
we will be able to administer the right
kind of spiritual medicine the right
portion of scripture to the sick one to bring
bring
Healing The Secret of the Divine Life Is
to learn how to live in the spirit realm
how to have one's lamp filled with the
oil of heaven and to keep one's Spirit
it this brings before our minds the
distinction between wisdom and knowledge
knowledge comes from reflection
observation contact with people books and
teachers wisdom comes from one of two
sources God or Satan James 3:3 to 18 who
is wise and understanding among you let
him show by his good life his Works in
meekness of wisdom but if ye have bitter
jealousy and faction in your heart Glory
not and lie not against the truth this
wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down
from above but is Earthly sensual
devlish for where jealousy and faction
are there is confusion and every vile
deed but the wisdom that is from above
is first pure then Peaceable gentle easy
to be entreated full of mercy and good
fruits without variance without
hypocrisy here are the two kinds of
wisdom in contrast we have two kinds of
knowledge in contrast we have the
knowledge that comes from the senses we
have this knowledge in our universities
colleges and technical schools the
knowledge we use every day in our
factories knowledge that seems to be
independent of God and often seeks to be
independent of God the other kind of
knowledge is revelation knowledge which
comes from the word sense knowledge is
often at war with Revelation knowledge
man needs Revelation knowledge to
complete his education sense knowledge
cannot find God know the reason for man
the reason for creation the source of
life or the source of motion when it
faces problems of this kind it turns
speculative and forms theories Darwin's
theory of evolution is a masterpiece of
guessing he went as far as sense
knowledge could go then he boarded an
airplane of fancy left the realm of
facts and wrote a book of speculations
and theories it has damned Millions but
helped no one God imparts his message to
your spirit the thing called the hunch
that's still Small Voice is your spirit
and is sometimes called conscience the
only way to know God and the Lord Jesus
Christ is through the spirit it I used
to be confused when people would say if
I could see someone healed I would
believe what of these Skeptics happened
to be with me when a man who had been
bedfast was miraculously healed his legs
had refused to function he was healed
instantaneously he walked and praised
God my friend said well that's all right
but it was his time to get well anyway
sense knowledge cannot understand
Miracles only the spirit can reveal them
when people come to our services see men
and women healed and miracles performed
it gives them sense knowledge Faith and
Healing many of them take their healing
because of what they see and hear but if
the trouble returns as the adversary
would doubtless make it they would have
root they have no deep rich knowledge of
the word they are like the seed that was
sewn in Shallow soil when the heat came
system before a person can be
permanently helped his Spirit must be
educated in the word of God creative
Faith dominating Faith healing faith and
saving Faith are all in the
spirit faith is not a product of Reason
since knowledge has never produced the
kind of faith of which we are speaking
it can produce sense knowledge faith
that believes in what it sees hears and
feels love is the fruit of the spirit
this does not refer to the Holy Spirit
but to the recreated human Spirit
Galatians 5:16 is the one wonderful
exposition of the human Spirit but I say
walk by the spirit and you shall not
fulfill the lust of the flesh senses for
the flesh or senses lusteth against the
spirit and the spirit against the flesh
senses for these are contrary the one to
the other that you may not do the things
that you would in the 19th and 20th
verses he tells us about the works of
the senses or the manifestations of the
senses the 22nd verse gives the fruits
of the renewed human Spirit they are
love joy peace longsuffering kindness
goodness faithfulness meekness
self-control against such there is no
law and they that are of Christ Jesus
have crucified the flesh or senses with
the passions and the lusts thereof when
the human Spirit gains the Mastery over
the senses it brings them into captivity
then a man says I cannot do that my
conscience which is the voice of his
recreated spirit will not permit it his
Spirit has gained the Mastery over his
mind the mind in turn gains the Mastery
over the body and brings the body into
subjection to the mind if we live by the
spirit let us by the spirit also walk
that is the human Spirit Romans 8: 1:3
deals with the same problem third verse
for what the law could not do in that it
was weak through the flesh senses God
sending his own son in the likeness of
sinful flesh senses and for sin condemn
sin in the flesh or senses what sin is
condemned in our flesh it is not sin of
conduct as we understand it is sickness
sin here is a broken law of the senses
do disease is condemned in the body
until you recognize that disease is an
outlaw and until your spirit grasps this
fact you will never build a fence
against physical distress and disease
when you realize that physical disease
is an outlaw and you still consort with
that disease by pampering it you are
joining forces with the outlaw and it
condemnation the fourth verse literal
trans that the righteous requirements of
the law might be fulfilled in us who
walk not after the sense but after the
spirit for they that are after the
senses mind the things of the flesh
senses but they that are after the
spirit the things of the spirit for the
mind of the flesh senses is death but
the mind of the spirit is life and peace
because the mind of the senses is enmity
against God for it is not subject to the
law of God neither indeed can it be he
is not speaking of the Holy Spirit but
of this recreated spirit and its place
in your physical body Romans 12: 1-2 I
beseech you therefore Brethren by the
mercies of God to present your bodies a
Living Sacrifice holy acceptable to God
which is your spiritual service and be
not fashioned according to this world
but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind that you may prove what is the
good and acceptable and perfect will of
God the body here is brought into
subjection to A Renewed mind and the
renewed mind is brought into subjection
to a recreated Spirit until your spirit
gains the Mastery over your senses your
faith will never be strong and vigorous
because the spirit of man is the lamp of
Jehovah God himself must fill the lamp
with oil of the right grade and from the
right Source this oil is eternal life
the lamp sheds light in the spirit realm
the realm of faith and the realm of love
it throws light upon the word Thy word
is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto
my pathway your spirit is in the realm
of creative faith of dominating faith
faith that rules demons in
disease I have found in my dealings with
the sick during the early days of my
Ministry that certain diseases filled me
with fear I shrank from going into their
presence I had seen their devastating
work in my own family but later I came
to see that disease was not physical but
spiritual when my spirit had fed upon
the word until it had developed a robust
unconscious Faith then I walked into the
presence of diseases as a
master Jesus Dominion was not a physical
or mental Dominion he ruled men the laws
of nature demons and sickness by his
Spirit he said the words that I speak
are not mine but my father's and the
works that I am doing are not mine but
my father's John 6:63 it is the spirit
that giveth life the flesh senses
profiteth nothing the words that I have
spoken unto you are spirit and are life
God is a spirit Jesus is a spirit he was
here in a physical body so that men
could see him his lips spoke words of
the spirit when you give your spirit
right away and it assumes the Dominion
in your life love will be natural love
is the fruit of the spirit when your
spirit is recreated that love will be
the Jesus kind of love the natural man
has natural love which is selfish and
turns to hatred jealousy and oftimes to
murder the Jesus kind of love flows from
the Fountain of a recreated Spirit John
6:47 he that believeth hath eternal life
eternal life is the nature of God that
nature has now come into man's Spirit 1
John 5:13 these things have I written
unto you that you may know that ye have
eternal life even unto you that believe
on the name of the son of God 1 John 4:8
he that loveth not knoweth not God for
God is love 1 John 3:14 to1 17 he that
loveth not abideth in death who soever
hadeth his brother is a murderer and ye
know that no murderer hath eternal life
abiding in him eternal life abides in a man's
Spirit when a man is recreated and
filled with the nature of the Father
which is love there will come forth from
his Spirit love acts promptings for love
words and love Deeds
Deeds
let us study it from another angle the
animal world acts by Instinct they have
souls they reason they have affection
they have the power of choice in a
measure but Instinct rules
them God did their thinking for them the
animal's safety depends upon Instinct
sight and hearing have a second place
when the wild animal trusts his sight or
his hearing and ignores his Instinct he
becomes a prey of his enemy when we
ignore the voice of the recreated human
Spirit we become a pre of the adversary
1 Corinthians 2:14 now the natural man
receiveth not the things of the spirit
of God for they are foolishness unto him
and he cannot know them because they are
spiritually understood the 13th verse
which things also we speak not in Words
which man's Wisdom teacheth but which
the spirit teacheth combining spiritual
things with spiritual words it is
spiritual teaching God's spirit through
the word is teaching our Spirits natural
man cannot know God since knowledge has
never been able to find God sense
knowledge makes man more skeptical
oftimes the more sense knowledge a man
possesses the farther away he is from
the word two Core 5 col 7 we walk by
faith and not by sight Faith rules the
spiritual man why because Jesus is the
Lord and head of this new man the word
rules him it is deeply important that we
realize that this new creation has a law
all its own John 13: 34-35 a new
commandment I give unto you that you
love one another even as I have loved
you that ye also love one another by
this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples if ye have Lov one for another
the new creation has a priesthood of its
own Jesus is our high priest we New
Creation folk belong to the holy
priesthood we have the joy of
functioning in the royal
priesthood 1 Peter 2:5 ye also as living
stones are built up a spiritual
household to be a holy priesthood to
offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable
to God through Jesus Christ God has
become our actual father we are his
actual Sons and Daughters 1 John 3: 2:3
beloved now are we the sons of God it is
well that we know that reason and
feelings and the senses are generally
opposed to our spirit some Believers
have never learn to live in their Spirit
they live in their senses their bodies
largely ruling them others live in their
soul or their intellect they are what
Paul calls psychic men 1 Corinthians
2:14 marginal rendering now the Psy iCal
or natural man receiveth not the things
of the spirit of God for they are
foolishness unto him and he cannot know
them because they are spiritually
understood a carnal believer is a baby
believer who has been fed with milk and
not with
meat First Corinthians 3: 1:4 and do you
not walk after the manner of men this is
one of the most striking sentences in
that wonderful epistle this man who is
recreated has never yet learned to walk
in his Spirit governed by the word he
walks as a common man he walks just as
he walked before he was born again in a
short time he will break fellowship with
the father and fall back again into the
old life a recreated man but one
dominated by the physical body or his
senses the new creation man is to walk
by faith Hebrews 10:38 but my righteous
one shall live by faith and if he shrink
back my soul hath no pleasure in him
shrink back from what from the walk in
the spirit by faith he shrinks back into
a sense Knowledge walk you can see that
if you are a recreated Spirit you should
live in the realm of the spirit mat for
colon for man shall not live by bread
alone but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God this righteous
recreated man lives by the word feeding
on it and obeying it we have found that
man is a spirit being God's dealings
with him are through his Spirit if he is
sick his Spirit must be healed if he is
ruled by sin his Spirit must be
cleansed if his mind has not been
renewed the spirit does not have Liberty
or freedom and cannot manifest Christ in
his life the spirit of man is really the
lamp of Jehovah chapter the 5ifth the
fruits of the spirit we are not dealing
with mysticism philosophy or metaphysics
we are dealing with realities it is not
something that the human reason has
wrought out through observation or
physical Sensations but we are dealing
with the basic laws of man's being the
great spiritual laws that govern the
Unseen forces of life there are several
great forces that emanate from the
recreated human Spirit they are to the
spirit realm what iron copper gold and
realm Faith the first force of the
recreated human spirit is faith faith is
not the product of reason it is the babe
that is born in the human Spirit God is
a faith
Spirit he brought the universe into
being by faith he created the metals
gases oils and all that goes to make up
the physical world by Faith by faith he
brought the Stars sun and moon into
being as an artist brings a colorful
landscape to life upon a drab canvas he
is a faith God he works by faith as
recreated men and women we are to work
and live by faith Jesus said if a man
had Faith as a grain of mustard seed he
could say to Yonder Mountain up be
hurled into the sea and the mountain
would obey him we know that the sea the
wind the fish and the laws of nature
obeyed the faith voice of the Son of God
we know that reason did not govern Jesus
but his Spirit which is above reason
ruled for Jesus did the most
unreasonable things he stood by the Tomb
of the rotting body of Lazarus and said
to that body Lazarus come forth and the
spirit of Lazarus Came From Paradise
entered into that physical body and it
was renewed made perfectly normal and
healthy by faith it was the voice of
Faith words filled with faith dominated
the laws of death and subdued the forces
that have ruled the human since the fall of
Man it was the the same voice that spoke
to the water and it became wine it was
the same voice that said to the Sea
peace be still when one realizes the
source of Faith then he will be able to develop
develop
it when one learns what produces Faith
the kind of food and activities that are
necessary to develop it he has arrived
faith is a product of your spirit just
as wisdom is a product of your spirit
faith is developed in wisdom is enriched
by meditation in the word of God this
word came to man through the human
Spirit God communicating it to man's
reasoning faculties man's Spirit was
governed by God's spirit enabling him to
bring God's message to man's
Consciousness through this Revelation by
the same token faith is developed in the
human Spirit by the word of God it comes
by acting on the word that is your
exercise every time you act upon the
word faith becomes stronger you could
lie in bed until your limbs lose their
ability to Bear the rest of your body so
it is with faith it must be continually
exercised in order to develop it
righteousness there is a second fact
that must be clearly apprehended that is
righteousness man remains a prisoner of
sin Consciousness until the
righteousness fact becomes a living
reality in his Spirit there can be no
development of Faith as long as Sin
Consciousness dominates the human Spirit
we will not be able to exercise God's
wisdom in our daily walk if sin
Consciousness dominates our
spirit it is an unhappy fact that the
church instead of destroying sinc
Consciousness with the truth has velop
sin Consciousness by preaching sin if
they had preached The Cure of sin
Consciousness if they had made clear the
fact that man received eternal life and
that eternal life was the nature of God
and that the nature of God is
righteousness man would begin to depend
upon that new kind of righteousness that
him he would say this if I am a new
creation created in Christ Jesus I must
be a righteous creation if I am a new
man I must be free from the bondage of
the old man what he says about
righteousness of the new creation is
true then my spirit is righteous if it
is righteous then I can stand in the
father's presence without fear of
judgment or condemnation there is
therefore now no condemnation to me
because I am in Christ Jesus a new
creation created in righteousness and
Holiness and truth that very fact solves
the whole problem of our enjoying the
riches of the fullness of our Redemptive
rights in Christ I am not afraid to act
because I know that all that Christ
wrought he wrought for me his entire
substitutionary work from the time he
was made sin until he sat down at the
right hand of the father was all for me
he did nothing for himself if the new
creation is a result of the work that
Christ wrought the new creation must be
satisfactory to the father if God is
able on the grounds of the
substitutionary work of Christ to impart
to man his nature his very substance and
being and do it on legal grounds then
this man who has received the substance
and nature of God can stand In God's
Presence just as though sin had never
been now we can see the vast
possibilities of this recreated spirit
it actually enters into a limitless life
the human mind and body begin to lose
their place of dominance in our
Consciousness and the spirit comes to
the front and actually begins to take
over the rest of the man it has been
held a prisoner through all the ages now
it is set free its blind eyes at last
are opened its paralyzed limbs are at
last filled with life its voice now
becomes the voice of God just as soon as
you realize the reality of your
righteousness in Christ you are
emancipated for righteousness is the
emancipator righteousness is your
redemption in Christ Satan has no
dominion over the man who knows he is
the righteousness of God in Christ how
masterful this makes Christianity there
can be no perfect coordination between
your spirit and your reasoning faculties
until you recognize the reality of your
spirit Redemption your spirit
righteousness and your spirit Union with God
God
wisdom it does not make any difference
how much knowledge one has if he does
not know how to use it it goes without
argument that there is enough knowledge
given in in a Bible Institute or
Theological Seminary to make any
Minister a success it is a self-evident
fact however that the majority of them
are failures their followers are not
instructed in righteousness they are
continually seeking to be made holy and
to have faith First Corinthians 1:30
tells us that Jesus was made unto us
wisdom you see wisdom is the ability to
use knowledge so that it will be a
blessing to the hearer Colossians 1:9
gives us a sample of Paul's prayers that
you may be filled with the knowledge of
his will in all spiritual wisdom and
understanding that is a remarkable
statement in all wisdom and all
understanding no College can give wisdom
there is no chair of wisdom in any
University there are but two sources of
wisdom one from Satan and one from God
James tells us in James 3:15 this wisdom
is not a wisdom that cometh down from
above but it is Earthly sensual and
devilish the other wisdom comes down
from above and has all of the
characteristics that adorned the life of
Jesus this wisdom belongs to every child
of God James in speaking of it said If
any man lackthe is speaking of the babes in
lackthe is speaking of the babes in Christ Paul
is writing to the full-grown believer this wisdom is available for every
this wisdom is available for every crisis of life just as his strength his
crisis of life just as his strength his grace and love are available this wisdom
grace and love are available this wisdom really grows out of love it is love at
really grows out of love it is love at work in your daily life I look upon
work in your daily life I look upon wisdom as the rarest gift that love
wisdom as the rarest gift that love brought with Redemption love
brought with Redemption love Christianity is love and our daily
Christianity is love and our daily contact with people it is my acting as
contact with people it is my acting as Jesus would in my place 1 John 4: 7 to8
Jesus would in my place 1 John 4: 7 to8 beloved let us love one another for love
beloved let us love one another for love is of God and everyone that loveth is
is of God and everyone that loveth is begotten of God and knoweth God he that
begotten of God and knoweth God he that loveth not knoweth not God for God is
loveth not knoweth not God for God is love Jesus brought a new kind of love he
love Jesus brought a new kind of love he demonstrated it in his daily walk if he
demonstrated it in his daily walk if he had control of one love would dominate
had control of one love would dominate in all that he said and did it would be
in all that he said and did it would be the father actually taking us over
the father actually taking us over living his own life through us the holy
living his own life through us the holy spirit's rayal Ministry is building the
spirit's rayal Ministry is building the father's nature into us if we were doers
father's nature into us if we were doers of love we could never be failures we
of love we could never be failures we would never injure anyone knowingly it
would never injure anyone knowingly it would eliminate selfishness from our
would eliminate selfishness from our conduct it would make us jesus-like in
conduct it would make us jesus-like in our thinking planning and doing there
our thinking planning and doing there are no broken homes where love
rules there are no broken hearts and wck lives this new kind of love brings him
lives this new kind of love brings him on the scene making him one with us in
on the scene making him one with us in all that we are in due we have caught a
all that we are in due we have caught a glimpse of the big four of the fruits of
glimpse of the big four of the fruits of the spirit there are many other fruits
the spirit there are many other fruits of the spirit but I am convinced that
of the spirit but I am convinced that they grow out of love they are a part of
they grow out of love they are a part of the Father's love nature imparted to us
the Father's love nature imparted to us in the new creation let love have its
in the new creation let love have its perfect work in your life measure all
perfect work in your life measure all Ambitions with this yard stick of Love
Ambitions with this yard stick of Love plan your life with the love nature of
plan your life with the love nature of God dominating it our Union with deity
God dominating it our Union with deity it is thrilling to know that man is in
it is thrilling to know that man is in the same class of being with God and
the same class of being with God and that he may become a partaker of his
that he may become a partaker of his divine nature he may act actually become
divine nature he may act actually become a child of the creator of the universe
a child of the creator of the universe the father's nature imparted to a man
the father's nature imparted to a man brings him into vital Union with deity
brings him into vital Union with deity man is a spirit being he has a soul and
man is a spirit being he has a soul and he lives in a physical body God calls
he lives in a physical body God calls this body his Temple it is his holy of
this body his Temple it is his holy of holies now on Earth we have never
holies now on Earth we have never majored the fact of a man becoming a
majored the fact of a man becoming a partaker of the divine nature there has
partaker of the divine nature there has been no serious attempt to cultivate
been no serious attempt to cultivate this recreated Spirit we know that the
this recreated Spirit we know that the part of man that is recreated and
part of man that is recreated and receives the nature of God is his spirit
receives the nature of God is his spirit you remember that Jesus said I am the
you remember that Jesus said I am the vine and ye are the branches that
vine and ye are the branches that statement goes with f 210 for we are his
statement goes with f 210 for we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus we
workmanship created in Christ Jesus we grow out of Christ 1 John 4:4 ye are of
grow out of Christ 1 John 4:4 ye are of God my little children 1 John 3:2
God my little children 1 John 3:2 beloved now are we children of God these
beloved now are we children of God these scriptures prove one fact that we came
scriptures prove one fact that we came out of the womb of omnipotence and that
out of the womb of omnipotence and that our spirit the real man is born of
God God import parts to this man his own nature I believe that this is the genius
nature I believe that this is the genius of Christianity you see when one is
of Christianity you see when one is recreated it does not mean that his mind
recreated it does not mean that his mind is changed his reasoning faculties may
is changed his reasoning faculties may be governed by the same forces as before
be governed by the same forces as before you understand that all the knowledge
you understand that all the knowledge that the brain receives comes through
that the brain receives comes through the five senses if a man is governed by
the five senses if a man is governed by his senses his spirit is held captive
his senses his spirit is held captive the new creation should be ruled by the
the new creation should be ruled by the spirit making it possible for him to
