The brightness of our
revelations depend upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building
blocks
(God is Thought, God is Love, God is a Spirit
– Eccl 12:7, and so are
you)
GOD IS A SPIRIT; ANGELS ARE
HIS
SPIRITS; THOUGHTS ARE HIS SPIRITS
(Eccl 12:7) Then shall the dust [“of which God made man’s body”
Amplif. Bible] return to the earth
as it was: and the spirit [i.e.,
the angel] shall return unto God who gave it.
1.
Commentary:
You are a spirit, a fallen angel,
a conglomerate of thinking thoughts
temporarily dwelling inside a physical body.
(2
Cor 10:3-6) For though we [who are
born-again] walk in the flesh, we do
not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are
not carnal [Gk: fleshly, unregenerate],
but mighty [i.e., spiritual] through
God to the pulling down [Gk: demolition;
fig. extinction: destruction] of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations [Gk: thoughts], and every high thing that exalteth itself [i.e., pride] against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every
thought [EVERY THOUGHT (every fallen angel)] to
the obedience of Christ [Gk: the anointed]; And
having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your
obedience is fulfilled [Gk:
complete, perfect].

strong holds = Gk: (to fortify, to hold safely); a castle (fig. an argument)
/// possession: be held,
be possessed with, diseased, + fear, sick, + tremble, + uncircumcised.
2.
bringing
into captivity =
Gk: to make captive: lead away captive /// a
prisoner of war.
3.
Commentary:
A notable fallen angel biblically identified as
an “unclean spirit” named Legion
was a “strong hold,” figuratively a castle of
hard stones, a castle of strong arguments established and dwelling
inside the wild (unsaved) man of the
Gadarenes, showing
us plainly that a spirit (singular) is a conglomerate of many like thoughts
(plural).
a.
(Mark
5:8,9) For he [Jesus]
said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit [(singular)]. And he [Jesus] asked him, What is thy name?
And he answered, saying, My name is Legion [i.e.,
a Roman army of 6,000 warriors]:
for we are many [unclean spirits].
b.
(Luke
8:29-31) (For he had commanded the
unclean spirit [(singular)]
to come out of the man. For oftentimes it [the
unclean spirit] had caught him:
and he [the wild man] was kept bound [by
the nearby city people] with chains
and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the
devil into the wilderness.) And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion:
because many devils [unclean spirits] were entered into him. And they
[the devils speaking with one voice]
besought him that he would not command them
to go out into the deep [Gk: the abyss:
the bottomless pit].
GOD’S THOUGHTS (ANGELS )
MANIFEST THEIR POWER INSIDE US
(Philip
1:5,6) For your fellowship in the gospel
from the first day until now; Being
confident of this very thing, that
he [God] which hath begun [Gk:
commenced] a good work in you
will perform [Gk: complete] it
until the day of [the second coming
of] Jesus Christ: [when the Spirit of
Jesus Christ shall rise up
out of you (Rom 8:18; 2 Thes 1:10,12 “In flaming fire” 2 Thes 1:8))].
(Philip 2:13) For it is God which worketh in you
both to will [to do] and
to do of his good pleasure.
GOD’S THOUGHTS (ANGELS )
MANIFEST THEIR POWER OUTSIDE US
(Mat
8:5-13) And when Jesus
was entered into
1.
Commentary:
“but speak the word [Gk: logos] only” = the point of this exchange is just as the centurion has soldiers
who are subject to his authority and obey his commands, also in
parallel
fashion, Jesus Christ has soldiers
whom the centurion calls “the word”
who are His angels, His thoughts
subject to His authority and obey His commands. Luke 7:6-10 expresses
this
understanding from his viewpoint:
a.
(Luke
7:6-10) Then Jesus
went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the
centurion sent friends to him,
saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that
thou
shouldest enter under my roof: Wherefore
neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but
say in a word [Gk:
logos], and my servant shall be
healed. For I also am a man set under authority, having under
me soldiers,
and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he
cometh; and
to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When
Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and
turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say
unto you, I
have not found so great faith
[Gk: belief], no, not in Israel. And
they that were sent, returning to the house, found the
servant whole that had been sick.
THE UNDERSTANDING
(Heb 4:12) For
the word [Gk: logos; (“logic”)] of
God is quick [Gk:
alive], and powerful [i.e., it
changes, transforms things],
and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of
soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is
a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
THOUGHTS (ANGELS) MANIFEST
THEIR POWER
to change us on the inside
AND WHEN THOUGHTS ARE
ARTICULATED INTO WORDS
they change (effect,
transform) everything on the outside
(John
20:21,22) Then said Jesus
to them [His disciples]
again, Peace be unto you: as my
Father hath sent me, even so send
I you. And when he had said this, he
breathed on them, and saith
unto them [(with words)], Receive
ye the Holy Ghost: [i.e., Jesus sent His angels
into them]
BY THY WORDS
(Mat
12:35-37) A good man out of
the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good
things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth
forth evil
things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men
shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by
thy words thou shalt be justified [Gk:
rendered just or innocent: righteous], and by thy
words thou shalt be condemned [Gk:
adjudged against, pronounced guilty].
Amen
