The New Spiritual You
Bishop James C. Hash, Sr.
There is a place called “In the Spirit,” the place where God dwells. In the Spirit, you are God-conscious. It’s the place where you are more aware of Spiritual and Heavenly things.
It’s the place where God is, His solutions to the problems, not the problem.
Revelation 1:10...KJV I WAS IN THE SPIRIT ON THE LORD’S DAY, and HEARD BEHIND ME A GREAT VOICE, AS OF A TRUMPET,
IN THE SPIRIT, the place where God is.
Revelation 4:1-2...KJV After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and THE FIRST VOICE WHICH I HEARD WAS AS IT WERE OF A TRUMPET TALKING WITH ME; WHICH SAID, COME UP HITHER, and I WILL SHEW THEE THINGS WHICH MUST BE HEREAFTER.
2 And IMMEDIATELY I WAS IN THE SPIRIT: and, BEHOLD, A THRONE WAS SET IN HEAVEN, and ONE SAT ON THE THRONE.
In the spirit a voice was heard and said, “COME UP HITHER” or “higher.”
I WILL SHEW THEE THINGS WHICH MUST BE HEREAFTER.
SPIRITUAL BEGINNING
Genesis 1:26...KJV And GOD SAID, LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS: and LET THEM HAVE DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and OVER ALL THE EARTH, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
“LET THEM HAVE DOMINION.”
God is speaking to their spirit.
Man is created in God’s Image and God’s likeness: God is a Spirit.
Genesis 2:7...KJV And THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, and BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; and MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL.
GOD FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND.
BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; and MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL.
In the beginning mankind’s soul was spiritual, not carnal.
It’s important to know that God first created Adam as a spirit being (Genesis 1:28). He didn’t form his body and soul until later (Genesis 2:7).
God is a Spirit, and Adam was created a spirit being made in God’s Image and Likeness. You are a spirit being, made in God’s Image and Likeness, through the New Birth.
You live in your physical body, you possess a soul, but the part of you that is God’s Image and His Likeness is your re-created human spirit which is a “New Creature In Christ,” not your physical body.
Sin SEPARATED Adam’s spirit from God, and he became flesh, carnal minded (Romans 6:23; Romans 8:7)
Genesis 6:3, 5-6...KJV And THE LORD SAID, MY SPIRIT SHALL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN, for THAT HE ALSO IS FLESH: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
5 And GOD SAW THAT THE WICKEDNESS OF MAN WAS GREAT IN THE EARTH, and THAT EVERY IMAGINATION OF THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART WAS ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY.
6 And IT REPENTED THE LORD THAT HE HAD MADE MAN ON THE EARTH, and IT GRIEVED HIM AT HIS HEART.
Man became flesh through his disobedience to God’s Commands.
Every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
It grieved God that He had made man on the earth.
Romans 5:12, 17...KJV Wherefore, AS BY ONE MAN SIN ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, and DEATH BY SIN; and SO DEATH PASSED UPON ALL MEN, FOR THAT ALL HAVE SINNED:
17 For IF BY ONE MAN’S OFFENCE DEATH REIGNED BY ONE; MUCH MORE THEY WHICH RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE AND OF THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL REIGN IN LIFE BY ONE, JESUS CHRIST.)
Through Jesus Christ’s Righteousness, mankind’s spirit is born again and reconnected back to God, Who is a Spirit.
The New Birth: John 3:5-7 and 1 Peter 1:23.
Our spirit is made alive “In Christ” (Ephesians 2:4-5).
WE (the born-again) ARE RE-CREATED LIKE GOD SPIRITUALLY; our born again, re-created human spirit has been re-created (1 John 3:1-2 and 1 John 4:17).
We are made to walk just like God, by FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Romans 4:17...KJV (AS IT IS WRITTEN, I HAVE MADE THEE A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS,) BEFORE HIM WHOM HE BELIEVED, EVEN GOD, WHO QUICKENETH THE DEAD, and CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE.
You speak from your spirit.
Living from the inside out (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Faith, Righteousness, and Grace dominate the Spirit Realm (Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; Romans 5:17).
Faith draws from Heaven’s Provision (2 Peter 1:1-4).
You’ve already Got it. It’s in your spirit. Draw it out by Faith.
TALK LIKE GOD (Romans 4:17)
Zephaniah 3:9...KJV For THEN WILL I TURN TO THE PEOPLE A PURE LANGUAGE, THAT THEY MAY ALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, TO SERVE HIM WITH ONE CONSENT.
A PURE LANGUAGE, the language of the Spirit.
The Bible says God Himself talks that way (Romans 4:17). It says (He) CALLETH THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE.
God doesn’t wait for circumstances to line up before He speaks. He causes them to line up because He speaks.
Follow His example. Let your Faith speak. Agree with God’s WORD.
Colossians 1:12-13...KJV GIVING THANKS UNTO THE FATHER, WHICH HATH MADE US MEET TO BE PARTAKERS OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS IN LIGHT:
13 WHO HATH DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS, and HATH TRANSLATED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR SON: HYPERLINK "https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+1&version=KJV"
God has already “DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS, and HATH TRANSLATED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR SON.”
Transferred means “to be taken out of one place and put into another.”
In other words, your citizenship is not primarily on this earth. You have been translated into another Kingdom.
Regardless of your natural citizenship in a country, as a believer you are “NOW” first a citizen of God’s Kingdom.
God’s WORD is “NOW” your FINAL Authority and the Rule of Law in your new Kingdom.
Philippians 4:19...KJV BUT MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS.
2 Corinthians 9:8...KJV And GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU; that ye, ALWAYS HAVING ALL SUFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS, MAY ABOUUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK:
2 Corinthians 4:13...KJV We HAVING THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH, ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; WE ALSO BELIEVE, and THEREFORE SPEAK;
I BELIEVED, and THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN.
WE ALSO BELIEVE, and THEREFORE SPEAK.
Stop “telling it like it is” and start speaking and believing the Promises of God.
Put the power of words to work for you (Proverbs 18:21).
Psalm 45:1-2...KJV My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: MY TONGUE IS THE PEN OF A READY WRITER.
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: GRACE IS POURED INTO THY LIPS: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
MY TONGUE IS THE PEN OF A READY WRITER.
GRACE IS POURED INTO THY LIPS.
