IS THE ALMIGHTY LIVING GOD AN OBJECT OF WORSHIP

 The overcoming Bride of Christ has the privilege of experiencing the glory of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

Greetings in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ to all brothers and sisters across the whole world listening to me.

Today the seventh day of the month of November 11th month in the year of 2026 according to the Gregorian calendar.

Brothers and sisters, it is so interesting for us to see what is emerging in the world after the mid-term election in United States of America where the Democrats party swept the elections both in the Congress and in the Senate. We have to wait and see.

But these are all prophetic times.

As I told you many times, not only the Europe that would isolate Israel, very soon United States of America would isolate Israel and then the next ring of fire will emerge very soon.

So brothers and sisters, while those things are happening, my message is indeed to the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, to no one else. I'm not a preacher. I'm not an evangelist.

I'm not a pastor or a prophet.

I'm not a kind of a messenger like that. But you know brothers and sisters, I have the anointing and the divine unction, holy anointing to communicate what the God Almighty desires for His people.

This message is exclusive and unique. It is completely directed to no one, but to the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. To the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ and the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Only they would understand this truth and no one else. 

So at the time of the Lord Jesus Christ Jesus , many people listened to him for hours when he was presenting the truth.

Brothers and sisters, last week I started this important message, the overcoming death and the power of resurrection.

Now brothers and sisters, this is exclusive designation for no one else but to the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And it is they who would experience the power of resurrections. All the dead in Christ, all the living element would experience the total complete transfiguration of their body.

So brothers and sisters, the power of resurrection and the overcoming death is what we started last week and I highlight a few aspects of that today because there's so much of confusion among the religions and particularly Christianity denominational religions.

As I've been telling, brothers and sisters, all the religions have an object of worship.

Object means tangible thing, visible thing, touchable thing.

So they all present a tangible an object of worship.

But whereas the true called out ones need not have an object of worship and our Lord God Almighty is not an object of worship.

Now brothers and sisters some of the things I'm repeating. I have to repeat.

Now if you really understand the scriptures what apostle Paul wrote to Timothy in the 1 Timothy chapter 1 verse17, referring to the Almighty , omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, the Everlasting Father, as King eternal, no beginning, no end, Immortal and invisible,

And that's why apostle Paul said, the wise God. And that's why, brothers and sisters, the Lord Jesus Christ said in John chapter 4, to the woman of Samaria when she said, we are worshiping on the mountain, you're (Jews) worshiping in Jerusalem. Jesus said, no, no , no, none of you understand the true worship. The hour cometh , for the true worshipper shall worship the Father, in spirit and in truth.

God is a spirit. Worshippers are worshiping, must worship Him in spirit and truth.

So brothers and sisters, God is The Spirit.

The essence of God the Almighty Spirit is His Divine consciousness. That's the most precious thing in the whole universe and in the realm of God.

There is nothing more can be valuable than that.

Nothing tangible in the universe cannot be compared to that.

So divine consciousness is the essence of the spirit of God and the divine consciousness manifest divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding. 

Again God's essence and then by virtue of divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understand, the Almighty Living God can perceive, divinely perceive. see the entire past, present and the future which He has created.

Discern, know what's going on everywhere, every nook and corner, wherever, whenever, however, whatever.

And then God Almighty, omnipotent one.

So as he fills the universe and he can conceive.

Conception is the essence of God.

He conceive; conceive not only children but conceive ideas.

Innovation, creation is conceiving. So God can conceive,   divinely conceive and by virtue when you divinely conceive the our God is a living God.

And therefore He is all the time be involved in creation.

He's a creator, the only Almighty Creator. And by virtue of his creative ability, he continuously have the the power of imagination, divine power of imagination, visualisation and actualization.

So the whole universe and everything that is in it, all are imagination, visualisation, actualization of our Living God.

Then when He created this whole universe, He's sustaining it. He's governing it.

As the scientists are saying the universe came into being 26 billion years ago. I don't know how accurate that is but previous they were saying 13.8 billion but it could be 46 billion years or 146 billion years, whether the Big Bang or whatever the Bang, it doesn't matter.

So  scientists very clearly attribute now the whole universe governs by the trillions of laws. Not only law of gravity, law of thermodynamics, aerodynamic and all kinds of trillions of laws.

And the scientists are saying they are like unbreakable divine orders.

Then also says there are trillions and trillions of mathematical formulas in operation, numbers involved. Our planet earth 24 hours, 365 days, to orbit around the sun.

The sun orbit around the Milky Way galaxy 2.5 million years. Now all these involves the laws and mathematical formulas. That's what the Bible says. 

Psalms 119:89 forever. Oh Lord, thy word or thy law settle. So God's law is connect to his logos (in Greek). Logos is not just a thought. He's thinking.

Our Lord God Almighty continuously thinking, that you and I are also continuously thinking, humanly thinking.

Thinking the law goes. That's what this letter stand for. Yud means thinking , the logos living God. 

A means the breath. The whole universe powered by the the breath of God.

Galaxies are breathing. Solar systems are breathing. Planets are breathing.

The mountains are breathing. Oceans are breathing. Rivers are breathing. Trees, plants, animals, birds, fish all are   breathing and that breath come from no one but the Almighty is the source of the breath.

So, and then the whole universe, as scientists are saying 26 billion years or 46 billion, there's a destination. There's a distance to that destination.

And that's why, the third letter Way represents God's sound of the movement and the destination that He intend for His creation to move towards you.

And the finally final Hay of God, continuously communicate, and by virtue of His communication, He's intimately connected to the creation.

The union and the oneness. So that's why  that's the essence of the Lord God Almighty.

So when God is talking about Himself and diversity of names , but the most unique name, El Shaddai, Elohim, Ashim, Adonai, all kinds of names are there, but the unique name that is relevant to you and me, is what He presented is the Lord Jesus Christ.

It were present to us. But he present to Moses, when Moses asked his name, his reply was " I am that I am" referring to these four letters . YVHV. Yahweh , there are no vowels in the Hebrew letters. Yahweh that's not the correct pronunciation. That's why the Jews don't pronounce God's name . But it is connected to you. He said, "I am that I am" and the "Lord Jesus Christ" identified you. Know one thing I want to tell you very clearly, The Lord Jesus Christ is not eternal God. He's not the everlasting father.

Isaiah chapter 9 that he took certain responsibility on behalf of God.

He was the express image of the invisible God. He's not God but the express image of the invisible God.

He is not his own father.

He has the beginning. He would have an ending. 

You know not ending, but means the task that he's given to him. 

The Lord Jesus Christ means savior and redeemer like Moses was the savior and redeemer children of Israel.

So he redeemed them and we have been redeemed by the efficacy of the the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Efficacy of the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Efficacy of the spirit of God. Efficacy of the word of God.

 So the Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled the task that was given to him by the Father. His Father, your Father, his God, your God.

No one else.

And that's why Jesus say, I come from the Father and I go back to Father. I'm in the Father and the Father in me.

If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.  Not referring to the human head, human eyes, human mouth. No, God does not have a human image and even our image is different. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ to be have to be born of a virgin without sin, without contamination,   without dilution, without deformity, but perfectly. Without sin. But was made sin. But he finished his task. 

Almighty God cannot be born. God cannot die. God cannot rise from the dead. No, the Lord Jesus Christ, he fulfilled that task for the purpose of your salvation and my salvation. That's why I say, brothers and sisters, the first Adam, if he did not fall, there's no need of a savior. There's no need of a redeemer because God created Adam perfectly and gave him the very breath and he became a living soul.

Absolutely. Because of his failure and fall ,  that second Adam has to come up and the Lord Jesus Christ came as a second Adam and that's why Jesus said very clearly in John 17:3-5 , whom you have given to me, thine they   were and I revealed your name to them; and I presented thy word to them. 

John 17:3-5 contains Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer, defining eternal life and affirming His pre-existence. Verse 3 states: "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Verse 4 notes that Jesus glorified the Father on earth by completing the work given to Him.  Verse 5 records Jesus asking the Father to glorify Him with the glory He had with the Father before the world existed.

So brothers and sisters as I've been discussing this I want to really touch little bit questions people have raised about the message I presented on Thursday about the human intelligence (HI), artificial intelligence (AI), and divine intelligence (DI). Now if you look at human intelligence some people say it's human character senses. No, we have senses but the animals have better senses. If you look at the eagles, they sense things much differently. Elephants different senses.

When Sri Lanka experienced the earthquake in 2004, from the jungle all the elephants, when they can sense the    earthquake far ahead, human beings all face and die, but not a single animal was dead in the jungles. Because senses but you know brother sense we also have senses but the human intelligence is beyond that. the human intelligence is relating to human consciousness.

Originally we had divine consciousness, where you are thinking with the living God but the human consciousness is self-consciousness, egocentric, selfish, and thereby , you kind of try to innovate and create things for your better life. How to improve the quality of your life? That's okay. No harm. Innovations and improvements. The humans look at human, using human senses, human wisdom, human knowledge, human understanding.

And then he begin to create things, innovate things and then he visualize things. Can imagine humanly that's where human intelligence is.

Steven Jobs created this apple computer, using human intelligence. Human intelligence see a need and they come up with a solution.

The human intelligence is that and it is because the human intelligence there are good things happen, bad things happen.

There are good businesses, good products, good innovations, good technology, good conveniences. But there are bad things. Wars are taking place. Millions are killed. Hatred, rich are becoming richer and richer. Poor are becoming poorer and poorer. Marginalization, you know, all kinds of pollution, corruption by virtue of the human wisdom. Using the human wisdom. All these guns, fighter jets A4, A47, T-56, F-35 and more, neutron bombs, all kinds of thing that you know Iranians are now trying to build and to destroy people. See what is happening in the Middle East using the human wisdom.

But you know brothers and sisters that's why Joel 3:14 says in the value of decisions you are looking at each other take decisions based on what you see what you hear what you understand you use your senses but of course you innovate something using the intelligence solutions bring in solutions intelligence human artificial intelligence is perfection of the information technology that depends and so many things are there. They say artificial will take control of the world but you know brothers and sisters artificial intelligence is the perfection of the human information technology.

They need data to showcase and interpret and highlight. So it's a information technology perfection or the information technology is the artificial intelligence.

20:5820 minutes, 58 secondsThey can tell about what happened in the past, what is happening now, but they can never ever say what is going to

21:0621 minutes, 6 secondshappen tomorrow, what is going to happen tomorrow. They can never

21:1321 minutes, 13 secondsthey can say this and this this can happen this option this is possible that is possible but they can never say very

21:2021 minutes, 20 secondsaccurately this is definitely at this time tomorrow at this hour this is going to happen

21:2821 minutes, 28 secondsat this time this train is going to collide with another train and thousands going to die tomorrow

21:3621 minutes, 36 secondsif that AI is there I think we can prevent so many disasters in this If the AI is so powerful, no

21:4521 minutes, 45 secondsdivine intelligence it is essence of God come from the divine consciousness,

21:5321 minutes, 53 secondsdivine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding, divine discernment, perception and conception.

22:0222 minutes, 2 secondsAnd that's why brothers and sisters, it is relating to God's design and desire and demands connect to the past, present and the future.

22:1422 minutes, 14 secondsIt is connected to knowing the destination and the distance ahead.

22:2222 minutes, 22 secondsAnd that's why Paul says to King Agria, I must not disobedient to the heavenly vision. He saw it.

22:3322 minutes, 33 secondsAnd that's why brothers and sisters, divine wisdom brings

22:4022 minutes, 40 secondsrevelation of the mind of God, design and desire demands of God, the will of God, what is expected by God.

22:5022 minutes, 50 secondsThat is why brothers and sisters, Micah 6:8 say, he has shown thee, oh man, what is good?

22:5822 minutes, 58 secondsWhat did the Lord expect of you?

23:0123 minutes, 1 secondDo justly, love, mercy, walk humbly with your God. A future engagement,

23:0923 minutes, 9 secondsyou know, brothers and sisters. So, having explained that to you, I want to really

23:1723 minutes, 17 secondsdwell on this aspect of worship and who our living God. I

23:2523 minutes, 25 secondsexplain to you brothers and sisters our God the eternal spirit and that's why brothers and sisters in the book of

23:3423 minutes, 34 secondsRomans chapter 1 verse um 17 and verse 20

23:4023 minutes, 40 secondsit very clearly says Romans chapter 1 verse 17

23:4823 minutes, 48 secondstherein is the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith it is written shall live by faith.

23:5723 minutes, 57 secondsNow this is connected to divine intelligence. They are in the righteousness of God.

24:0724 minutes, 7 secondsRighteousness means doing the right thing at the right time in the right way at the right place

24:1624 minutes, 16 secondsaccording to the design and the desire and the demands of the almighty living God. He understand everything

24:2324 minutes, 23 secondsand that's why he says reveal from faith to faith. Faith is not belief for miracles.

24:3024 minutes, 30 secondsIt is obedience to God's design and desire and demands. It is written just shall live

24:3924 minutes, 39 secondsby faith. So brothers and sisters, the living people

24:4624 minutes, 46 secondsuh the saints of God continuously why they are called saints. We are doing the right thing at the right time at the

24:5624 minutes, 56 secondsright place in the right way according to the design desire demands of God.

25:0225 minutes, 2 secondsIn verse 20, for the invisible things of him from the creation of the world

25:1125 minutes, 11 secondsare clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even the eternal power and the God is so that they are without excuse.

25:2025 minutes, 20 secondsSo brothers and sisters and that's what I say our God is eternal spirit. This universe is tangible place.

25:3125 minutes, 31 secondsThough it's tangible place, we human beings only see 4% of the universe.

25:3925 minutes, 39 secondsDespite all the advance in technology, innovation, the telescope

25:4625 minutes, 46 secondsand all kinds of satellites, all kinds of spacecraft going all over.

25:5725 minutes, 57 secondsDespite all that, brothers and sisters, up to now, in the 6,000 years of human

26:0426 minutes, 4 secondshistory, we can only see 4% of the universe. 96% we cannot see,

26:1226 minutes, 12 secondsbut they are there. So brothers and sisters, God

26:2126 minutes, 21 secondsthis created this whole universe and our God Almighty, omnipotent, omnipresent, omnisient,

26:3026 minutes, 30 secondsking, eternal, immortal, invisible, wise God is not limited to our planet Earth.

26:3726 minutes, 37 secondsHe's not limited to our solar system of 10 planets.

26:4226 minutes, 42 secondsis not limited to the Milky Way galaxy where we are. God fills the whole universe.

26:5226 minutes, 52 secondsIf there are 10 trillion galaxies in the universe, so be it.

26:5726 minutes, 57 secondsIf there's a life and lives in other planets and other solar system, go so be it. That's God's design.

27:0627 minutes, 6 secondsThat's God desire. That's God deand.

27:1027 minutes, 10 secondsAnd that's why God has created so much of angels to think with him continuously govern the whole universe brothers and sisters.

27:1927 minutes, 19 secondsSo then we need to understand

27:2627 minutes, 26 secondswhat it means to really understand what God has given to us.

27:3427 minutes, 34 secondsThe chosen seed. Now brothers and sisters, if you understand

27:4127 minutes, 41 secondsthis, the Holy Bible.

27:4727 minutes, 47 secondsNow let me tell you brothers and sisters, we have the Old Testament and the New Testament.

27:5427 minutes, 54 secondsNow if you really look at first of all children of Israel

28:0328 minutes, 3 secondsusing Abraham God designed to reveal himself

28:1028 minutes, 10 secondsbut that revelation was lost after the Adamic race after Noah.

28:1628 minutes, 16 secondsNoah the 10th from Adam. Adam had the revelation and he passed down to his

28:2328 minutes, 23 secondsnext generation set then up to Noah knew who God is and in fact they had the

28:3128 minutes, 31 secondsprivilege of understanding how to please and worship God.

28:4028 minutes, 40 secondsAnd that's why brothers and sisters God including Adam gave a privilege

28:4728 minutes, 47 secondsto really point of repentance.

28:5328 minutes, 53 secondsOne of the glorious quality of God is our God is grace and mercy.

29:0029 minutesAnd he knew very well that we were all inside Adam.

29:0429 minutes, 4 secondsWhen God told Adam be fruitful and replenished, fruitful and multiply because we were all in Adam.

29:1729 minutes, 17 secondsAnd if Adam did not fall, we would have born 6,000 years ago

29:2429 minutes, 24 secondswithout sin, without iniquity, without corruption, perfect.

29:3129 minutes, 31 secondsBut that was not the case. As a result of failure and fall of Adam and the

29:3729 minutes, 37 secondsmixing with the the serpent seed, the animal nature came good and evil.

29:4529 minutes, 45 secondsAnd that's why brothers and sisters, original status of God's creation of Adam and Eve

29:5329 minutes, 53 secondswas completely tarnished, diluted, contaminated, and deformed.

30:0330 minutes, 3 secondsSo that's why the Lord Jesus Christ came as the second Adam paid the price on the cross.

30:1430 minutes, 14 secondsHis first task is to reform us by the efficacy of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. By the efficacy of the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

30:2330 minutes, 23 secondsSo brothers and sisters after Noah's death, Noah's three sons

30:3230 minutes, 32 secondsdispersed all over the world and we were every human being that lives on this

30:3930 minutes, 39 secondsplanet earth can trace their beginning to one of the sons of Noah.

30:4630 minutes, 46 secondsNimrod Nimrod also descendant of Noah

30:5430 minutes, 54 secondswant to understand who God is and he have the revelation. Then he look at the the glorious objects the sun and

31:0431 minutes, 4 secondsthe moon and then he created the first global religion sun worship which connected to moon

31:1331 minutes, 13 secondsworship also and he became the representative direct representative of the sun god

31:2231 minutes, 22 secondsand sun was the object but you cannot look at the sun.

31:2831 minutes, 28 secondsSo Nimrod said I am representing the sun. So you need to bow down and worship me.

31:3531 minutes, 35 secondsSo he became the tangible object of God. Object of God object of worship.

31:4231 minutes, 42 secondsNot tangible object of God. He became a tangible object of worship. And ever since, brothers and sisters, what is prevailing

31:5231 minutes, 52 secondsin the world is tangibly people need object to worship.

32:0032 minutesIt could be a tree, it could be a stone, it could be a statue, could be a picture, it could be a human being.

32:1132 minutes, 11 secondsAll the religions including Christian religions, traditional Christianity

32:1932 minutes, 19 secondsand apart from traditional Christian denominations like Catholics and Anglicans and even charismatic

32:2632 minutes, 26 secondsPentecostals and evangelicals all connected to the object of worship

32:3532 minutes, 35 secondswithout their knowledge they worshiping the sun and moon.

32:3932 minutes, 39 secondsthey connected to that. That's why Jesus very clearly say you must worship the father in spirit and in truth.

32:4832 minutes, 48 secondsSo when Israel Abraham the first two had

32:5432 minutes, 54 secondsthe revelation of who God is and that's why they Abraham time it was called God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

33:0733 minutes, 7 secondsGod of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So God revealed to him I Abraham and then to Isaac and Jacob and through Jacob

33:1633 minutes, 16 secondsand is the nation of Israel 12 tribes and they were in Egypt for 400 years as slaves.

33:2533 minutes, 25 secondsAgain that revelation was taken away.

33:2933 minutes, 29 secondsthe knowledge that the Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had partially because they were only able to see as slaves.

33:4033 minutes, 40 secondsThat is when brothers and sisters, God sent Moses to redeem them after 400 years of slavery in Egypt.

33:5233 minutes, 52 secondsSome people are saying the pyramid of Giza was built by slave Hebrew slaves. No, no, no, no.

34:0234 minutes, 2 secondsThat's wrong. Pyramid is much older than that.

34:0834 minutes, 8 secondsPyramid is older than the floods.

34:1434 minutes, 14 secondsPyramid was created before the flood is a creation of the admic race.

34:2334 minutes, 23 secondsYes, the creation of adomic race.

34:2634 minutes, 26 secondsEverything that Canaanites and everybody built according to their own name all got destroyed.

34:3534 minutes, 35 secondsThe only piece of construction, man-made construction that lasted

34:4334 minutes, 43 secondsand went through the floods and stood is the pyramid of Giza. No, no. All the other pyramids are rebuilt models, but there's one pyramid pyramid of Giza.

34:5434 minutes, 54 secondsIt's not made by Egyptians or pharaohs.

34:5934 minutes, 59 secondsYou know, brothers and sisters, there's much bigger. It's a longer history. than 5 5,000 years.

35:0835 minutes, 8 secondsSo brothers and sisters, when God brought children of Israel out of Egyptian slavery,

35:1635 minutes, 16 secondshe did 10 miracles and finally crossing of the Red Sea.

35:2335 minutes, 23 secondsThen he brought them to Sinai desert before they go to the promised land.

35:3335 minutes, 33 secondsThey were in transit lounge to get something the ticket to go there

35:4135 minutes, 41 secondsbut they couldn't really understand what it means.

35:4535 minutes, 45 secondsAnd that's why as slave they begin to have object of worship a calf.

35:5235 minutes, 52 secondsThey all put their goal and make a calf a golden calf. They want to have that object and they began to worship the golden calf.

36:0236 minutes, 2 secondsWhereas Moses was spending 40 days and 40 nights in the mount si

36:1036 minutes, 10 secondsand brothers and sisters and that's why you find that God was um

36:1836 minutes, 18 secondsspending time with Moses and it's very clear

36:2536 minutes, 25 secondsthe Torah the first five books the Torah The first five books that

36:3436 minutes, 34 secondsMoses wrote it second time. The first time brothers and sisters

36:4236 minutes, 42 secondsTorah was given by God. And the Bible says, let me bring that scripture.

37:0937 minutes, 9 secondsExodus. Um, sorry.

37:2537 minutes, 25 secondsI don't have a scripture. Let me get that scripture quickly.

37:3037 minutes, 30 secondsUh I I I think I on the other other page it's there

37:4137 minutes, 41 secondsof stones.

38:0138 minutes, 1 secondYeah. Exodus chapter.

38:1838 minutes, 18 secondsYes, it is extreme.

38:2638 minutes, 26 secondsYes. Exodus chapter 32. Sorry. Exodus 2:16. Exodus 32:16.

38:4838 minutes, 48 secondsYes. And the tables were the work of God and the writings were the writing of God graven upon the table. So God himself

38:5638 minutes, 56 secondswrote first time and he created the two tables of stone.

39:0239 minutes, 2 secondsThe Bible say he wrote on both side another scripture is there I can relate later but he wrote with his finger. He

39:1039 minutes, 10 secondsdoesn't have fingers. Tables were a work of God. And the tables

39:1739 minutes, 17 secondsit says tables were the work of God. The writings of and writing writings was the written of God gave upon the tables.

39:2739 minutes, 27 secondsSo God wrote first time.

39:3339 minutes, 33 secondsAnd that's why Paul says in Hebrew chapter 10 verse 16 that I will put my law my covenant into your heart.

39:4439 minutes, 44 secondsright in your tables of your brain, your mind.

39:5139 minutes, 51 secondsSo brothers and sisters, what we what God gave to Moses

39:5839 minutes, 58 secondsduring 40 days and 40 nights first time the law, the commandments and statutes

40:0840 minutes, 8 secondsexactly 613 commandments, statutes and ordinances

40:1640 minutes, 16 secondsso that children of Israel need to follow.

40:2040 minutes, 20 seconds248 is connected to the relationship between Israel and the the living God Almighty.

40:3140 minutes, 31 seconds365 is relating to the Israel's relationship with the society and the environment.

40:3940 minutes, 39 secondsToday people are talking about the sustainability CSR but God gave it long before how to look after the environment not to pollute it. It's there in the Bible.

40:4940 minutes, 49 secondsSo brothers and sisters, so it's very wonderfully mentioned what is Torah?

41:0041 minutesThe Torah is God express his thinking to his people.

41:1241 minutes, 12 secondsThat is why brothers and sisters same is John is writing one John 1. In the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word was with God.

41:2541 minutes, 25 secondsSo the Torah that God gave to Moses was the expression of his thinking, his design, his desire, his demands.

41:3841 minutes, 38 secondsAnd that is the very reason brothers and sisters God said and in fact God stopped all the miracles

41:4741 minutes, 47 seconds10 miracles in Egypt many miracles in Sinai desert in the promised land there were no

41:5441 minutes, 54 secondsmiracles except Elijah and Elisha very specific reason but there are no

42:0142 minutes, 1 secondmiracles what is the Torah and Brothers and sisters, the Torah

42:1142 minutes, 11 secondsor the logos what the Old Testament rest of the books is because the children of Israel

42:1942 minutes, 19 secondsbecause second time with Moses dashed the Torah at the base of the mountain

42:2642 minutes, 26 secondswhen they saw they're worshiping a calf and the Torah was lost

42:3442 minutes, 34 secondsoriginally from God born divine consciousness to him here the human consciousness

42:4442 minutes, 44 secondsbut that was lost and then second time God called Moses and said okay you come up again

42:5342 minutes, 53 secondsbring some tables of stone from the the earth

42:5942 minutes, 59 secondsand then I will dictate you write it and that's exactly Moses was brought second time

43:0843 minutes, 8 secondsand when he brought people could not look at his face.

43:1543 minutes, 15 secondsHis face was gloriously shining like sun and then he covered himself with a veil.

43:2643 minutes, 26 secondsBut he told man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God.

43:3743 minutes, 37 secondsNow brothers and sisters, it's very clear that

43:4643 minutes, 46 secondsthat he said man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed out of the mouth of God.

43:5743 minutes, 57 secondsSo brothers and sisters, the Torah, the children of Israel,

44:0644 minutes, 6 secondsas long as Moses and Joshua was there, they were all right to understand few things. But subsequently

44:1344 minutes, 13 secondsthey went astray all the time. That's why brothers and sisters, no nation, no ethnic group in this world has suffered

44:2244 minutes, 22 secondslike the children of Israel. When God demanded things, they went when God told them to right side, they went to the

44:3044 minutes, 30 secondsleft side. So brothers and sisters, Torah

44:3844 minutes, 38 secondsis the design of God, desire of God demands upon us. And Torah is connected

44:4544 minutes, 45 secondsto God's thought or the logos or thinking.

44:4944 minutes, 49 secondsThinking is a activity. That's why our God is living God.

44:5344 minutes, 53 secondsNow brothers and sisters, when children of Israel did not really

45:0145 minutes, 1 secondunderstood the Torah after Moses and Joshua, God has ren prophet after prophet,

45:1145 minutes, 11 secondsjudge after judge, a righteous king after king, asking them to come back to the truth, come back to the word, thus

45:1945 minutes, 19 secondssay the Lord. with his Isaiah, whether he's Jeremiah, whether he's Ezekiel, all those

45:2745 minutes, 27 secondsprophets. So all the prophetic books are there and few historical books are there

45:3445 minutes, 34 secondslike chronicles and kings and Esther and all these things are there. But many prophetic books are there. They all

45:4345 minutes, 43 secondsreferring to the Torah, the commandments, statutes and ordinances.

45:4745 minutes, 47 secondsSo all in all, brothers and sisters, the Torah or the word

45:5645 minutes, 56 secondsis connected to the expression of God's design and desired demands.

46:0246 minutes, 2 secondsAnd when the children of Israel totally did not understood and that's why God's rejection was upon

46:1146 minutes, 11 secondshim and that's why God has raised the second Adam the Lord Jesus Christ

46:2146 minutes, 21 secondshe came as the lamb of God paid the price on the cross I mentioned about that earlier but I want to tell you

46:2946 minutes, 29 secondsbrothers and sisters without really him spending too much of time on those things

46:3646 minutes, 36 secondsdirectly going on to the our our bride of the Lord Jesus Christ.

46:4446 minutes, 44 secondsThe Bible, the Torah, the Old Testament and New Testament.

46:4846 minutes, 48 secondsNow in this new testament the four gospels and the epistles all connected to the

46:5746 minutes, 57 secondsthe old testament also including book revelation because when the lord Jesus Christ was standing there in the midst of the

47:0647 minutes, 6 secondspharisees and sadducees and the the Israelites the leaders of church they accused him this is a new doctrine it's

47:1547 minutes, 15 secondsa new teaching you are a demon But he said read the scriptures is written of me. I did not come to break

47:2447 minutes, 24 secondsit. I came to fulfill one story, one plan, one purpose, one

47:3147 minutes, 31 secondsdesign. Old testament and it is a covenant of God. The old covenant, the new covenant,

47:3947 minutes, 39 secondsall the the old testament is revelation of the new testament.

47:4647 minutes, 46 secondsNew Testament is the expression of the Old Testament, Old Covenant. So brothers and sisters, what is Torah?

47:5747 minutes, 57 secondsTorah is expression of the mind of God.

48:0348 minutes, 3 secondsAnd that's why brothers and sisters, the whole universe is the expression of the mind of God.

48:1148 minutes, 11 secondsThat's why it is a reality. Nobody can change it. Nobody can add to it. Nobody can you know disturb it. Nobody can dilute it.

48:2248 minutes, 22 secondsNobody can change. That's why in even our solar system, every planet is moving

48:3048 minutes, 30 secondsaccording to the direction that God has given.

48:3348 minutes, 33 secondsOur planet earth has never changed its time to 24 to 22 or 26. No.

48:4348 minutes, 43 secondsThat's why it says forever, oh Lord, thy thought or thy consciousness.

48:4848 minutes, 48 secondsSo brothers and sisters, the Torah is connected to the consciousness of God.

48:5648 minutes, 56 secondsThe consciousness of God which has divine wisdom, divine knowledge, divine understanding.

49:0349 minutes, 3 secondsAnd that's why brothers and sisters, Torah is connected to thinking of the living God, the thought continuously.

49:1149 minutes, 11 secondsAnd that's why the Lord Jesus Christ said John chapter 16 verse 12-15.

49:1949 minutes, 19 secondsLet me read that. John chapter 16.

49:2549 minutes, 25 secondsJohn chapter 16 verse 12- 15.

49:3549 minutes, 35 secondsI have many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear it. But how the spirit of truth come, he will guide you into all

49:4249 minutes, 42 secondstruth. He shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear that he shall speak and show you things to come.

49:5349 minutes, 53 secondsHe shall glorify me shall receive of mine and show it unto you. The Lord Jesus Christ is saying came as a

50:0150 minutes, 1 secondredeemer but the father gave. That's why Jesus said John 17:2

50:0850 minutes, 8 secondsthe glory which you have given to me I have given it to them 22 divine consciousness.

50:1550 minutes, 15 secondsSo brothers and sisters why was it given? Let me read that.

50:2250 minutes, 22 secondsThis is also very important. John chapter 17.

50:3050 minutes, 30 secondsJohn chapter 17 verse 22.

50:3650 minutes, 36 secondsThe glory which thou gavest me, I have given them that they may be one as we are one.

50:4950 minutes, 49 secondsBrothers and sisters, he says very clearly the glory which you have given to me.

50:5950 minutes, 59 secondsWhat for the glory? The Lord Jesus Christ. He's the log ghost. He was the word made flesh. That means

51:0751 minutes, 7 secondshe was the divine consciousness. God gave his divine consciousness to him

51:1451 minutes, 14 secondslike he gave to angels and God did not really lose it. God

51:2251 minutes, 22 secondscannot lose his own conscience. He can give it to anybody can multiply and give it.

51:2951 minutes, 29 secondsThat's why God is God. The angels, the Michael, the Gabriel, they all have divine consciousness.

51:3551 minutes, 35 secondsThe Lord Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, divine consciousness.

51:4051 minutes, 40 secondsAnd that's why he said that they may be one as we are one. That's where brothers and sisters, the worship comes to take place.

51:5051 minutes, 50 secondsOur living God is not an object. He's not tangible. He's not an image.

51:5851 minutes, 58 secondsNow, please don't misunderstand me.

52:0752 minutes, 7 secondsthe Lord Jesus Christ.

52:1152 minutes, 11 secondsLet me bring that scripture also then you it' be very clear on this.

52:2552 minutes, 25 secondsThis is a very important very uh because Actually

52:3552 minutes, 35 secondsa lot of people let me read that scripture.

52:4252 minutes, 42 secondsYes. 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 16.

52:4852 minutes, 48 seconds2 Corinthians chapter 5:16. Verse 16.

52:5652 minutes, 56 secondsWherefore henceforth we know we know no man after the flesh.

53:0253 minutes, 2 secondsYeah. Though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth we know him. No more.

53:1053 minutes, 10 secondsYou know brothers and sisters, lot of people have pictures of the Lord Jesus Christ.

53:1653 minutes, 16 secondsYou go from place to church to church, you have different pictures. Some are short hair, long hair, different eyes.

53:2453 minutes, 24 secondsThere's a picture of Hoffman. He painted at the 633. All kinds of things are there.

53:3353 minutes, 33 secondsBut you know brothers and sisters, we don't see him in the flesh.

53:4053 minutes, 40 secondsWhen Jesus said, "Emmanuel, I'm with you." Divine consciousness, the word, but I shall be in you

53:5053 minutes, 50 secondsby virtue of the spirit of Christ. I shall be in you.

53:5653 minutes, 56 secondsSo brothers and sisters, it's so wonderful to understand this because the picture of the Lord Jesus Christ cannot be an object of worship.

54:1054 minutes, 10 secondsA lot of people have statues of the Lord Jesus Christ, pictures of the Lord Jesus Christ here and there. Do people want

54:1954 minutes, 19 secondsobject of worship? That's the reason the Lord Jesus Christ said you must worship God in spirit and in truth. In spirit

54:2754 minutes, 27 secondsand in truth. God is spirit. That's why brothers and sisters. Peter told the people, "What shall we do? Repent and be

54:3654 minutes, 36 secondsbaptized every one of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift

54:4354 minutes, 43 secondsof the Holy Spirit." You know brothers and sisters,

54:4854 minutes, 48 secondsHoly Spirit because in our human sinful nature we cannot worship the living God

54:5854 minutes, 58 secondsdefinitely you can me you can become member of a church can born to Christian family or a Pentecostal or whatever the

55:0755 minutes, 7 secondscharismatic family no we are all born in sin sinful nature is there so as long as

55:1355 minutes, 13 secondssinful nature is Yeah, we have the human nature self-consciousness.

55:2255 minutes, 22 secondsSelf-consciousness is egocentric, selfish, full of lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

55:3255 minutes, 32 secondsThat's what sin brings. The egoentricism, selfishness.

55:3855 minutes, 38 secondsSo therefore, my old man has to be crucified. Like Paul says, I'm crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live.

55:4655 minutes, 46 secondsSo the old man has to be crucified. The only way that can happen is by the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ.

55:5655 minutes, 56 secondsEphicus of the blood of Jesus Christ.

55:5855 minutes, 58 secondsEfficacy of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You are from your deformed status is reformed.

56:0656 minutes, 6 secondsAnd when you are reformed, you have the glorious privilege being infilled with the spirit of God.

56:1456 minutes, 14 secondsThat is why the Lord Jesus Christ when he rose from the dead came to disciple he breathed onto them and said receive

56:2156 minutes, 21 secondsthe the holy spirit and then he told you receive it

56:2856 minutes, 28 secondsand the spirit of truth. He mentioned about the spirit of truth brothers and sisters.

56:3456 minutes, 34 secondsSo the spirit of truth, the very spirit of God, the spirit of Christ

56:4256 minutes, 42 secondsand when the spirit of truth comes and dwells in you like like Jesus said very clearly, he will teach you everything.

56:5256 minutes, 52 secondsHe will not hide you anything. He will show you everything that is past, present and the future.

56:5956 minutes, 59 secondsWhat is him? You will not be in a valley of deions. You'll be begin to see the things of God. That is why John said

57:0857 minutes, 8 secondsJohn chapter 3, you're born of God, you'll begin to see things.

57:1457 minutes, 14 secondsSo brothers and sisters, what is the spirit of God will do?

57:2557 minutes, 25 secondsAnd that's where brothers and sisters Romans chapter 8 verse 1-9 Romans chapter 8.

57:4057 minutes, 40 secondsYes, let me read that. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

57:5257 minutes, 52 secondsThe law of the spirit of life Jesus Christ made me free from the law of sin and death that the law could not do that it was

58:0158 minutes, 1 secondweak to the flesh. God sending his own son in the likeness of the sinful flesh for the sin condemn sin in the flesh.

58:1058 minutes, 10 secondsthat the righteousness of the law mind be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

58:2058 minutes, 20 secondsFor they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh but they are after the spirit things of the spirit. Connly minded is death but the

58:2958 minutes, 29 secondsspiritually minded is peace because carnal mind is immity against God. It's not a subject of the law of

58:3658 minutes, 36 secondsGod. Neither the indeed can be. So they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

58:4458 minutes, 44 secondsThey are in the pre flesh they cannot please God.

58:4858 minutes, 48 secondsBut not in the flesh but the spirit of God but in the but in the spirit. If the so be the spirit of God dwells in you.

58:5858 minutes, 58 secondsNow if any man have not the spirit of Christ none.

59:0259 minutes, 2 secondsVerse 10. If Christ be in you, body is dead because of the sin, but the spirit of life because of righteousness.

59:1159 minutes, 11 secondsYou know, brothers and sisters, that's a glorious privilege.

59:1859 minutes, 18 secondsThat's a glorious privilege, brothers and sisters. The spirit of truth dwells in you.

59:2659 minutes, 26 secondsThen you begin to understand everything.

59:2959 minutes, 29 secondsAnd when you begin to understand everything, that's where, brothers and sisters, we begin to have the privilege,

59:3859 minutes, 38 secondsas Paul says, no longer walking in the lust of our flesh. In the spirit,

59:4759 minutes, 47 secondsthey carnally minded mind things that they want for their lustful desires and designs.

59:5659 minutes, 56 secondsNow if you look at brothers and sisters, we have two men in the Bible in the Old Testament who did not face death.

1:00:061 hour, 6 secondsFirst one is Enoch and Hebrew chapter 11 verse 5 and 6 it mention about Enoch.

1:00:171 hour, 17 secondsThe Bible say Enoch walked with God and he was and God took him. You know

1:00:231 hour, 23 secondsbrothers and sisters if you read the Genesis chapter 5 Enoch 7th for madam

1:00:341 hour, 34 secondsand at the age of 65 the call of God came to him repent and understand who

1:00:421 hour, 42 secondsthe living God is and begin to fulfill what his design and desires and

1:00:491 hour, 49 secondsdemands are. And Enoch did that. It took 300 years for Enoch to fully please God.

1:00:591 hour, 59 secondsYes, there were so many things in him that he need to get rid of.

1:01:051 hour, 1 minute, 5 secondsBut every time he walked with God. Every he started this walk with God.

1:01:131 hour, 1 minute, 13 secondsHe start his walk with God.

1:01:161 hour, 1 minute, 16 secondsAnd every time God would show you, show him things that he need to get rid of.

1:01:221 hour, 1 minute, 22 secondsYesterday, today is better than yesterday and the following day and kept on going on for 300 years. The Bible

1:01:301 hour, 1 minute, 30 secondssays very clearly he was taken.

1:01:371 hour, 1 minute, 37 secondsAnd before he was taken, he had a testimony. What is that? He pleased God.

1:01:441 hour, 1 minute, 44 secondsHe pleased God. He pleased God.

1:01:501 hour, 1 minute, 50 secondsAnd then next verse says without faith impossible to please God.

1:01:581 hour, 1 minute, 58 secondsWithout faith impossible to please God.

1:02:021 hour, 2 minutes, 2 secondsWithout faith. So in please God. So brothers and sisters, worshiing the living God Almighty in spirit and truth is pleasing him.

1:02:151 hour, 2 minutes, 15 secondsHe can only see his word in you. Nothing else, his truth in you.

1:02:221 hour, 2 minutes, 22 secondsThat's why just brothers and sisters, John chapter 14 verse 16 to 17 says the truth,

1:02:311 hour, 2 minutes, 31 secondsthe spirit of truth. Uh let me read that scripture also because

1:02:381 hour, 2 minutes, 38 secondsJohn chapter 14

1:02:461 hour, 2 minutes, 46 seconds16- 17 he says I will pray the father shall

1:02:531 hour, 2 minutes, 53 secondsgive you another comforter and that he may abide with you forever even the spirit of truth whom the world

1:03:001 hour, 3 minutescannot receive because he seeth him not neither knoweth him, but you know him.

1:03:041 hour, 3 minutes, 4 secondsHe dwelleth with referring to him, the Lord Jesus, I am the truth, and he was living. And he shall be in you

1:03:131 hour, 3 minutes, 13 secondsshall be in you, brothers and sisters.

1:03:181 hour, 3 minutes, 18 secondsAnd that's exactly the Lord Jesus Christ said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." John 20:22,

1:03:271 hour, 3 minutes, 27 secondsActs 1:8, Luke 24:29, referring to being empowered, filled by the very spirit of God.

1:03:381 hour, 3 minutes, 38 secondsSo brothers and sisters when the spirit of God comes one thing that begins to take place

1:03:471 hour, 3 minutes, 47 secondsyou begin to be illuminated revealed of God's design desire and deas

1:03:571 hour, 3 minutes, 57 secondswhat you need do next moment next minute next hour next day and all the time what

1:04:041 hour, 4 minutes, 4 secondsis ahead you need to be understand the mind of God there and that's why Bible says

1:04:111 hour, 4 minutes, 11 secondsobedience obedience faith is nothing to do with beliefs looking for some blessing and protect faith is all together do understanding the design

1:04:201 hour, 4 minutes, 20 secondsdesire demands and be linked to it and be obedient to his design

1:04:281 hour, 4 minutes, 28 secondsthat is why Micah 6:6 he has shown the man what did he do to you know he has shown the man What is good?

1:04:391 hour, 4 minutes, 39 secondsAll the time God is showing to his people what's the best. When God created the planet earth, he said everything is

1:04:461 hour, 4 minutes, 46 secondsgood. Man has messed it up. Still the universe, everything is good.

1:04:521 hour, 4 minutes, 52 secondsOur planet Earth, our atmosphere, only man has messed up.

1:04:581 hour, 4 minutes, 58 secondsYou know, brothers and sisters, there are the galaxies, there are the life. God knows what's going on there.

1:05:061 hour, 5 minutes, 6 secondsBrothers and sisters, so he has shown the man what is good. What does the Lord expect of you?

1:05:151 hour, 5 minutes, 15 secondsDo justly.

1:05:171 hour, 5 minutes, 17 secondsDo justly means same thing. Just live by faith. Just live by faith.

1:05:261 hour, 5 minutes, 26 secondsJust live by faith means brothers and sisters.

1:05:321 hour, 5 minutes, 32 secondsJust live by faith means very clearly it is

1:05:411 hour, 5 minutes, 41 secondsyou become a part of the truth or the revelation of the mind of God.

1:05:501 hour, 5 minutes, 50 secondsThat is the reason brothers and sisters Bible talks about Romans 8:10-17.

1:05:581 hour, 5 minutes, 58 secondsRevelation 21:17 the inheritance of Christ.

1:06:071 hour, 6 minutes, 7 secondsSo brothers and sisters worshiping the almighty living God involve pleasing him.

1:06:191 hour, 6 minutes, 19 secondsI become a pleasure to the almighty father.

1:06:251 hour, 6 minutes, 25 secondsNow if you look at the Lord Jesus Christ, he pleased God all the time.

1:06:331 hour, 6 minutes, 33 secondsWhatever he did, God said, "This is my beloved, I'm well pleased.

1:06:371 hour, 6 minutes, 37 secondsThis is my beloveds and I'm well pleased." In several occasions, he said in the midst of the disciples.

1:06:461 hour, 6 minutes, 46 secondsSo when you and I have oneness and the union, the Lord Jesus Christ said John

1:06:541 hour, 6 minutes, 54 seconds17:22, the glory which you gave to me that is divine consciousness.

1:07:001 hour, 7 minutesWhen you and I have divine consciousness, you begin to understand the expectations of God.

1:07:091 hour, 7 minutes, 9 secondsSo brothers and sisters, there are certain stages that we need to

1:07:181 hour, 7 minutes, 18 secondsunderstand connected to status of pleasing our God.

1:07:281 hour, 7 minutes, 28 secondsSo let me go through that.

1:07:311 hour, 7 minutes, 31 secondsJohn chap Romans chapter 8. Romans chapter 8.

1:07:401 hour, 7 minutes, 40 secondsRomans chapter 8 verse 25 onward verse.

1:07:561 hour, 7 minutes, 56 secondsSo let me read uh from verse um uh 26. Likewise the spirit also helped

1:08:041 hour, 8 minutes, 4 secondsour infirmities for we know not what we should pray for.

1:08:091 hour, 8 minutes, 9 secondsWe ought but the spirit itself make a decision. The spirit of god understand everything. You don't have to have buka

1:08:171 hour, 8 minutes, 17 secondsthis is my prayer repeat our father and that you need to allow the spirit of god in

1:08:251 hour, 8 minutes, 25 secondsyou to understand everything.

1:08:341 hour, 8 minutes, 34 secondsAnd verse 27 and he that searchth the heart know what what is in the mind of the spirit because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

1:08:461 hour, 8 minutes, 46 secondsYou understand that intercessions God in the will of God means properly

1:08:561 hour, 8 minutes, 56 secondsunderstood understanding God's design desire and demands

1:09:031 hour, 9 minutes, 3 secondsand we know here it says we know all things work together for good to them that love God who are called according so there are no

1:09:121 hour, 9 minutes, 12 secondssurprises for the journey of the saints.

1:09:181 hour, 9 minutes, 18 secondsNow brothers and sisters, I must tell you sometime people ask why this bad thing happened to me? Why this bad thing

1:09:271 hour, 9 minutes, 27 secondshappened to me? I'm so good person. I'm going to church every day. I'm praying, praying, praying.

1:09:361 hour, 9 minutes, 36 secondsWhy God has not done anything to me? There was a story.

1:09:421 hour, 9 minutes, 42 secondsThere was a man at a nice house but there was a yesterday there was a huge rain here.

1:09:501 hour, 9 minutes, 50 secondsAll the colbo roads go went down to water and there were floods

1:09:591 hour, 9 minutes, 59 secondsand the government announced people in that area to vacate their houses

1:10:051 hour, 10 minutes, 5 secondsand uh all vacated and went to places of refuge.

1:10:121 hour, 10 minutes, 12 secondsBut this man said no no no I'm not going God will look after and the water was coming to half of this

1:10:181 hour, 10 minutes, 18 secondshouse and then there was a boat came and said get in soon this more water is

1:10:251 hour, 10 minutes, 25 secondscoming he said no no no God will protect and save me. So boat went away and then

1:10:321 hour, 10 minutes, 32 secondsthe whole house got submerged and he went to the roof and there was a helicopter that was sent

1:10:411 hour, 10 minutes, 41 secondsand he said get into the helicopter because some soon your house will be submerged.

1:10:461 hour, 10 minutes, 46 secondsNo, God will save. Finally house got submerged. This man died.

1:10:541 hour, 10 minutes, 54 secondsHe soaked in this water and he died. Then finally he went to the heaven.

1:11:021 hour, 11 minutes, 2 secondsThis is a story and he said God why did you did not assist me? I'm so pious and all this.

1:11:121 hour, 11 minutes, 12 secondsHe said I send you a car first you will not get into it.

1:11:191 hour, 11 minutes, 19 secondsSecond I send a boat to you. Third I send a helicopter. What can I do?

1:11:261 hour, 11 minutes, 26 secondsSo brothers and sisters, if you are a child of God,

1:11:341 hour, 11 minutes, 34 secondseverything that happens according to God's design, there are no accidents for the children of the living God. Accidents are people in the world.

1:11:461 hour, 11 minutes, 46 secondsThey are they are they don't know the Lord. Do you know brothers and sisters, nothing happens in this whole world without the knowledge of God?

1:11:591 hour, 11 minutes, 59 secondsThe Bible say even as Pharaoh does not fall to the ground without his knowledge.

1:12:051 hour, 12 minutes, 5 secondsSo as far as whatever that happens, you know,

1:12:121 hour, 12 minutes, 12 secondsyou get disturbed sometimes. God is not interested in me. I'm suffering. I'm going through this.

1:12:191 hour, 12 minutes, 19 secondsBut you don't know what is ahead.

1:12:231 hour, 12 minutes, 23 secondsThere was another story which I read recently.

1:12:271 hour, 12 minutes, 27 secondsThere was a Jewish rabbi went to a see his people in a certain town.

1:12:371 hour, 12 minutes, 37 secondsOn the way he had tar in another village and he had a donkey and he had a r he had a rooster. He had a candle and he

1:12:461 hour, 12 minutes, 46 secondswas going there and the people say we cannot give accommodation to raise. So he did not

1:12:551 hour, 12 minutes, 55 secondsand then he at the edge of the city the village called to a jungle he stayed there and he slept there kept the donkey kept the rooster.

1:13:071 hour, 13 minutes, 7 secondsBehold the morning came. Donkey is missing.

1:13:141 hour, 13 minutes, 14 secondsRooster is gone. Wolf has taken the donkey.

1:13:201 hour, 13 minutes, 20 secondsAnother wild beast had taken the rooster. His candle also gone.

1:13:261 hour, 13 minutes, 26 secondsThen he was wondering what. And suddenly he saw fire at distance.

1:13:331 hour, 13 minutes, 33 secondsTo see that village is burned. Everybody in that village is killed by the enemy that came.

1:13:431 hour, 13 minutes, 43 secondsAnd if the donkey was there, he would shout and then he would also got killed.

1:13:471 hour, 13 minutes, 47 secondsIf the rooster was there, rooster would have shout. Rooster also taken before.

1:13:541 hour, 13 minutes, 54 secondsYou know brothers and sisters, sometimes we don't know the plan of God.

1:14:001 hour, 14 minutesGod always do little things.

1:14:051 hour, 14 minutes, 5 secondsElijah told that woman, "What do you have in your house?" A little oil or a little can.

1:14:131 hour, 14 minutes, 13 secondsSo brothers and sisters, sometimes we don't understand

1:14:201 hour, 14 minutes, 20 secondswhat God is going to do in our lives. So here it says according to the will of God,

1:14:281 hour, 14 minutes, 28 secondsall things work together. That's exactly is going to happen.

1:14:341 hour, 14 minutes, 34 secondsNothing to you and me happens by an accident.

1:14:391 hour, 14 minutes, 39 secondsEver since the call of God come to you and me. Every little thing, every minor thing is God engineer, God facilitated.

1:14:501 hour, 14 minutes, 50 secondsThat's why David said, "I was young, now I'm old. I never seen righteous forsaken. No, his seed be."

1:14:581 hour, 14 minutes, 58 secondsSo here it says verse 20 9 the most important thing 9 and 30 for

1:15:051 hour, 15 minutes, 5 secondswhom God forneew he also predestinated to be conformed to the image of his son

1:15:151 hour, 15 minutes, 15 secondsthat is what pleases the almighty father that we all conformed in the image of him that he might be the firstborn among the

1:15:231 hour, 15 minutes, 23 secondsmany brethren he's the firstborn first Verse 30. Moreover, whom he predestined them also he called.

1:15:331 hour, 15 minutes, 33 secondsWhom he called, he justified whom he justified also them glorified. So you

1:15:391 hour, 15 minutes, 39 secondshave the the stage the stage the predestinated

1:15:471 hour, 15 minutes, 47 secondsthat's why Jesus said John 17:22 3 to8 6 verse 176 John 17:6

1:15:571 hour, 15 minutes, 57 secondswhom you have given to me he says thine they were past tense thine they were and I revealed thy name to them.

1:16:091 hour, 16 minutes, 9 secondsThere are 9 billion people now living. There are 6 billion dead and gone.

1:16:141 hour, 16 minutes, 14 secondsprobably but out of them probably very few in numbers

1:16:231 hour, 16 minutes, 23 secondsthat Jesus said dying they were we were lost in Adam and second Adam gave us because by virtue of his sacrifice on

1:16:321 hour, 16 minutes, 32 secondsthe cross paid the blood sacrifice pay the price

1:16:411 hour, 16 minutes, 41 secondsit is finished my god my god why offic sure

1:16:491 hour, 16 minutes, 49 secondsrelease all the Old Testament saints Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, all once and for all.

1:16:581 hour, 16 minutes, 58 secondsAnd the secondly, you and I in Christ means from the time of the Lord Jesus Christ

1:17:061 hour, 17 minutes, 6 secondsredemption plan, the people who have the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ.

1:17:131 hour, 17 minutes, 13 secondsSo brothers and sisters we have been predestinated.

1:17:201 hour, 17 minutes, 20 secondsHaving predestinated then we have been called. I was born into Buddhist background.

1:17:301 hour, 17 minutes, 30 secondsMy call came to me from the father almost 50 years ago when I was 19 20

1:17:381 hour, 17 minutes, 38 secondsyears in light who he is

1:17:451 hour, 17 minutes, 45 secondsGod has predestinated me that's why he told Jeremiah

1:17:521 hour, 17 minutes, 52 secondsJeremiah 1:5 before you came into your mother's womb I knew

1:17:591 hour, 17 minutes, 59 secondsJeremiah 5 verse 1:5 before you came into your mother's womb I knew you

1:18:061 hour, 18 minutes, 6 secondsand your mother's womb for 9 months I sanctified you

1:18:131 hour, 18 minutes, 13 secondsjustific sanctified you so that prepared the ownership and after

1:18:201 hour, 18 minutes, 20 secondsyou came out of my mother's I anointed you justification

1:18:281 hour, 18 minutes, 28 secondsjust shall live by faith, anointing, divine anction, divine consciousness.

1:18:361 hour, 18 minutes, 36 secondsSo brothers and sisters, after justification, what do you have? Glorification.

1:18:431 hour, 18 minutes, 43 secondsGlorification means that we have a union and the oneness with the Almighty.

1:18:521 hour, 18 minutes, 52 secondsYou know brothers and sisters that's what Jesus said the glory which you have given to me

1:18:591 hour, 18 minutes, 59 secondsthat is God's divine consciousness that was given to the Lord Jesus Christ I have given to them to all of us

1:19:081 hour, 19 minutes, 8 secondsby virtue of receiving the spirit of God.

1:19:121 hour, 19 minutes, 12 secondsYou know brothers and sisters we are the temple of the living God. God dwells in us because we are the temple

1:19:201 hour, 19 minutes, 20 secondsof the living God to mean holiness unto God a living sacrifice.

1:19:291 hour, 19 minutes, 29 secondsSo brothers and sisters, the union and the oneness of the father

1:19:361 hour, 19 minutes, 36 secondsbased on my responsibility, based on my responsibility, based on my

1:19:441 hour, 19 minutes, 44 secondspredestination, my calling, my justification

1:19:511 hour, 19 minutes, 51 secondsand thereby brothers and sisters, my glorification is I have the divine consciousness.

1:20:001 hour, 20 minutesThe divine consciousness is upon me. That is why it's called glorification.

1:20:091 hour, 20 minutes, 9 secondsGlorification means I am one with the father of the union. Holy common union means I'm not thinking about god.

1:20:211 hour, 20 minutes, 21 secondsI'm not thinking about god. I am thinking with the living God.

1:20:281 hour, 20 minutes, 28 secondsJesus said very clearly John chapter 6, John chapter 10, John

1:20:361 hour, 20 minutes, 36 secondschapter 14, John chapter 16, 15 and all this.

1:20:421 hour, 20 minutes, 42 secondsHe said I am the living bread that come down.

1:20:451 hour, 20 minutes, 45 secondsUnless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life. He that eateth my flesh and drinkketh my blood dwelleth in me. I in you.

1:20:551 hour, 20 minutes, 55 secondsSo the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ, the called out ones, the predestinated ones,

1:21:051 hour, 21 minutes, 5 secondscalled out ones, justified ones, the glorified ones with the divine consciousness is no longer reading this.

1:21:181 hour, 21 minutes, 18 secondsHe's eating it, digesting it. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ told

1:21:251 hour, 21 minutes, 25 secondsWhen disciples ask when shall be your coming first of all it's coming to the bride the lord Jesus Christ

1:21:331 hour, 21 minutes, 33 secondsvery private arrival by the lord Jesus Christ take the bride you and I present to the father

1:21:431 hour, 21 minutes, 43 secondshe said as a lightning coming from the east unto the west in other words

1:21:491 hour, 21 minutes, 49 secondsthere's going to be illumination there's going to be enlightenment They're going to be mighty revolution

1:21:591 hour, 21 minutes, 59 secondsfrom one end to the other end. Then the eagles said mention eagle the bride.

1:22:071 hour, 22 minutes, 7 secondsEagles are eating eating the word eating the flesh. So

1:22:141 hour, 22 minutes, 14 secondswhen you are eat you're one.

1:22:211 hour, 22 minutes, 21 secondsThat's oneness, that union.

1:22:241 hour, 22 minutes, 24 secondsThat's why brothers and sisters, that oneness, that union is the most glorious things. And that's why, brothers and

1:22:331 hour, 22 minutes, 33 secondssisters, we were deformed.

1:22:381 hour, 22 minutes, 38 secondsWe were contaminated, we were diluted, we were corrupted.

1:22:461 hour, 22 minutes, 46 secondsAnd that's why Paul says flesh and blood will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1:22:511 hour, 22 minutes, 51 secondsThen by virtue of the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ we were reformed

1:23:011 hour, 23 minutes, 1 secondoriginally Genesis 2:7 God formed properly beautifully without any corruption without any

1:23:091 hour, 23 minutes, 9 secondsdilution perfectly now we are reformed by the efficacy of the blood Jesus Christ

1:23:181 hour, 23 minutes, 18 secondsthen brothers and sisters Yes, we are now transformed by the spirit of

1:23:241 hour, 23 minutes, 24 secondsGod. The spirit of Romans 12:2 and we have been transformed

1:23:321 hour, 23 minutes, 32 secondsand then we pass next stage. What is transformed? Translated.

1:23:401 hour, 23 minutes, 40 secondsColossians chapter 1:3.

1:23:431 hour, 23 minutes, 43 secondsColossians chapter 1:13 means translated.

1:23:471 hour, 23 minutes, 47 secondsThat is mean we are sanctified for perfection.

1:23:521 hour, 23 minutes, 52 secondsThat is why brothers and sisters Paul says in Hebrew chapter 10, let me go through the scripture.

1:24:021 hour, 24 minutes, 2 secondsHebrews chapter 10.

1:24:111 hour, 24 minutes, 11 secondsYes. Verse 14.

1:24:151 hour, 24 minutes, 15 secondsBy one offering, by one offering, verse 14, yet perfected forever, forever them that are sanctified.

1:24:261 hour, 24 minutes, 26 secondsForever perfect. Now, brothers and sisters, that's why it says very clearly perfected forever.

1:24:371 hour, 24 minutes, 37 secondsThat's where we need to understand.

1:24:431 hour, 24 minutes, 43 secondsThat's But John says 1 John 3:9 the seed he that is born of God does not convince

1:24:501 hour, 24 minutes, 50 secondssin because the seed of God means the word the word means

1:24:571 hour, 24 minutes, 57 secondsdivine consciousness word means divine logos Psalms 1 verse 1:3 talks about the man

1:25:071 hour, 25 minutes, 7 secondswho has his law in his consciousness proverb 31 to 1-8 says again the divine consciousness.

1:25:171 hour, 25 minutes, 17 secondsSo brothers and sisters when you are in the divine consciousness stage

1:25:261 hour, 25 minutes, 26 secondsbecause when God gave the Torah to Moses 40 days for nights two times he was there

1:25:331 hour, 25 minutes, 33 secondsthen God told Miriam and Aaron with Moses I'm face to face

1:25:421 hour, 25 minutes, 42 secondswhen you are having divine consciousness the spirit spirit of God in you. That

1:25:491 hour, 25 minutes, 49 secondsunion will enshrine the Almighty God before you face to face.

1:25:591 hour, 25 minutes, 59 secondsAlso, God told Miriam and Aaron with Moses, I speak to him mouth to mouth.

1:26:091 hour, 26 minutes, 9 secondsNumbers 128 face to face the Exodus 3:11 mouth to mouth that's why Moses came and

1:26:181 hour, 26 minutes, 18 secondssays man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed

1:26:251 hour, 26 minutes, 25 secondswe can't lose anything that God present to us the Lord Jesus Christ never lost

1:26:311 hour, 26 minutes, 31 secondsanything whatever you have given to me I've done it mouth to mouth nothing lost directly

1:26:411 hour, 26 minutes, 41 secondsfrom him to me. That's why she said unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you're no life.

1:26:481 hour, 26 minutes, 48 secondsSo you have to obtain from the very revelation of the mind of God into you.

1:26:591 hour, 26 minutes, 59 secondsThen finally Corinthians chapter 2:16 and Philippians 2:5 says mind to mind

1:27:071 hour, 27 minutes, 7 secondsface to face mouth to mouth mind to mind. That's why brothers and sisters

1:27:151 hour, 27 minutes, 15 secondswe are talked about that union that oneness face to face mouth to mouth mind to mind

1:27:251 hour, 27 minutes, 25 secondsthat union that oneness and that oneness is the the expression of worship

1:27:341 hour, 27 minutes, 34 secondsthere's no iniquity there is no sin because the bible say if if I regard iniquity If I regard iniquity, God will not hear.

1:27:451 hour, 27 minutes, 45 secondsThere is no way that there is holy common union, the oneness, the union.

1:27:521 hour, 27 minutes, 52 secondsLike Jesus said, I mean the father, the father in me. That is only possible, brothers and sisters, not only being cleansed and purified, washed,

1:28:011 hour, 28 minutes, 1 secondbut brothers and sisters, so that I'm before him face to face.

1:28:071 hour, 28 minutes, 7 secondsGod sees me through my condition, my status. I overcome sin because I can only overcome sin in

1:28:161 hour, 28 minutes, 16 secondsChrist Jesus by the efficacy of the brother.

1:28:201 hour, 28 minutes, 20 secondsThere's no iniquity because I have divine consciousness. I'm not thinking about God. I'm thinking about myself.

1:28:271 hour, 28 minutes, 27 secondsI'm continuously thinking of with him.

1:28:311 hour, 28 minutes, 31 secondsAnd that union bring pleasure to God.

1:28:371 hour, 28 minutes, 37 secondsWhatever that bring pleasure to God is an act of worship.

1:28:431 hour, 28 minutes, 43 secondsAbel offered the right thing and it pleased God. Cain offered bananas and pineapples didn't please.

1:28:521 hour, 28 minutes, 52 secondsHow can we please God?

1:28:551 hour, 28 minutes, 55 secondsIf I regard inequity means unequal status that union only

1:29:011 hour, 29 minutes, 1 secondequity only. If I regard inequity I cannot. So holy common union is relating

1:29:081 hour, 29 minutes, 8 secondsto that union that oneness and that consciousness. When I have the divine consciousness, I have the divine wisdom, divine

1:29:161 hour, 29 minutes, 16 secondsknowledge, divine understanding, divine perception, divine discernment, divine conception and divine imagination, visualization, actualization.

1:29:271 hour, 29 minutes, 27 secondsAnd then I have the glorious power of thinking with my living God all the time and there is no room for sin.

1:29:371 hour, 29 minutes, 37 secondsThat's why John said 1 John 3:9, he that is born of God does not commit sin. Why?

1:29:421 hour, 29 minutes, 42 secondsHis se is active in his body, soul and spirit. In every atom of his body, every

1:29:501 hour, 29 minutes, 50 secondsmolecule cell and all the 248 organs, 600 muscles totally immersed.

1:29:591 hour, 29 minutes, 59 secondsThat's why brothers and sisters Roman chapter 8 verse 164 says they are led by the spirit they are the sons of God.

1:30:131 hour, 30 minutes, 13 secondsThe spirit of God leading means you need to have the spirit of God in you divine consciousness.

1:30:211 hour, 30 minutes, 21 secondsAnd that's again 2 Timothy 1:17 says God has not given to

1:30:271 hour, 30 minutes, 27 secondsus a spirit of fear but of power and of love means the agape.

1:30:341 hour, 30 minutes, 34 secondsGod gives to us everything by virtue of his agape. His consciousness is not my he lend it to me

1:30:421 hour, 30 minutes, 42 secondsuh with a responsibility he gave it to me. I'm accountable to return to so that everything what I

1:30:501 hour, 30 minutes, 50 secondsdo will please him. Bring pleasure to God. That's the point of worship.

1:30:571 hour, 30 minutes, 57 secondsWorship me in spirit and truth.

1:30:591 hour, 30 minutes, 59 secondsEverything what I do bring pleasure to God.

1:31:031 hour, 31 minutes, 3 secondsYou can go and spend hours fast in the brain doesn't bring any pleasure to God.

1:31:091 hour, 31 minutes, 9 secondsWhen you are directly connected to his consciousness, divine consciousness

1:31:161 hour, 31 minutes, 16 secondsand then you begin to think with the living God.

1:31:191 hour, 31 minutes, 19 secondsThat's why brothers and sisters Daniel 12:3 says the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ

1:31:281 hour, 31 minutes, 28 secondscontinuously shine at the brightest stars.

1:31:331 hour, 31 minutes, 33 secondsThey continue to shine. Daniel 12:3 shine illuminated and their manifestation and the

1:31:411 hour, 31 minutes, 41 secondsexpression or the beauty of God's holiness.

1:31:471 hour, 31 minutes, 47 secondsAnd that's why again Daniel say Daniel 12:10 the V shall understand

1:31:531 hour, 31 minutes, 53 secondsthe shall see everything beyond hear everything beyond not what I see what

1:32:001 hour, 32 minutesthe ear see beyond that and that's what the Bible say I have not seen ear

1:32:071 hour, 32 minutes, 7 secondsnor has he gone the heart of man what God has prepared for them so brothers and sisters that is the same

1:32:151 hour, 32 minutes, 15 secondsthing that Paul says I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. So brothers and

1:32:231 hour, 32 minutes, 23 secondssisters, what is worship?

1:32:291 hour, 32 minutes, 29 secondsWorship is not going and adopting certain rituals, certain practices, observing certain teachings. No.

1:32:401 hour, 32 minutes, 40 secondsAnd our almighty living God is not an object. He's not object. He's not tangible. He is not object of worship.

1:32:491 hour, 32 minutes, 49 secondsWorship is union with the father. That's what the Lord Jesus Christ said.

1:32:551 hour, 32 minutes, 55 secondsI come from the father. I go back to the father. I'm in the father and the father in me.

1:33:021 hour, 33 minutes, 2 secondsAnd the father all the time recognized and said this is my beloved son. This is my beloved son. This is my beloved son.

1:33:101 hour, 33 minutes, 10 secondsI'm well pleased.

1:33:121 hour, 33 minutes, 12 secondsSo the true act of worshiping the living God is when you bring pleasure to God continuously.

1:33:221 hour, 33 minutes, 22 secondsThe only way that you can bring pleasure to God, brothers and sisters, when you're full of divine consciousness.

1:33:301 hour, 33 minutes, 30 secondsYou cannot have divine consciousness if you regard iniquity and the sin and you have

1:33:371 hour, 33 minutes, 37 secondsself-consciousness, human consciousness, egoentricism. No,

1:33:431 hour, 33 minutes, 43 secondsif you are to think with him, you cannot think about yourself and think about it. Think with him.

1:33:521 hour, 33 minutes, 52 secondsThere's no room for iniquity and no room for sin.

1:33:581 hour, 33 minutes, 58 secondsAnd whatever you doing, it bring pleasure to God because you are pleasing the heart of God.

1:34:051 hour, 34 minutes, 5 secondsThat is why Bible says Hebrew 11:5 without faith impossible to please God.

1:34:161 hour, 34 minutes, 16 secondsAnd Enoch for 300 years pursued overcame all the

1:34:231 hour, 34 minutes, 23 secondschallenges connect to lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. All of them he overcame them and he walked with

1:34:321 hour, 34 minutes, 32 secondsGod. The Bible say, "How can two walk together unless they be agreed?" Yes, that's what Micah said. Micah 6:8, he has shown thee, oh man, what is good.

1:34:461 hour, 34 minutes, 46 secondsWhat does the Lord expect of you? Do just love mercy and work humbly with your living God. Walk humbly.

1:34:551 hour, 34 minutes, 55 secondsThat walk, that union.

1:34:591 hour, 34 minutes, 59 secondsAnd that's what Jesus that they may be one as we are one. That's the point.

1:35:051 hour, 35 minutes, 5 secondsThat's the point. The glorious glorious union. That's what Jesus said.

1:35:131 hour, 35 minutes, 13 secondsJohn 17:22, "The glory which you have given to me, I given to them that they may be one."

1:35:211 hour, 35 minutes, 21 secondsYes indeed, brothers and sisters, your body is the temple of the living God. You are the redeemed of God.

1:35:301 hour, 35 minutes, 30 secondscleansed, purified, washed by the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ.

1:35:341 hour, 35 minutes, 34 secondsEfficacy of the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Because you are the temple of the living God. You have been filled with the spirit of God.

1:35:441 hour, 35 minutes, 44 secondsAnd when you are filled with the spirit of God, it's just a not just to lie like that.

1:35:511 hour, 35 minutes, 51 secondsNo, there is a living thing. Bible say my God is a consuming fire.

1:35:591 hour, 35 minutes, 59 secondsliving God, living God, thinking God. So that's why I say Paul said offer your body as a

1:36:061 hour, 36 minutes, 6 secondsliving sacrifice, living God, living sacrifice.

1:36:101 hour, 36 minutes, 10 secondsEvery second, every moment that I need to bring pleasure to God.

1:36:161 hour, 36 minutes, 16 secondsNot once a week on Sunday I bring pleasure to God and Monday I forget about God.

1:36:221 hour, 36 minutes, 22 secondsAnd once a day, once a week, no, every second counts. Every minute count, every hour, every day counts.

1:36:311 hour, 36 minutes, 31 secondsEvery minute, every second I need to bring pleasure to God and God need to please about me.

1:36:411 hour, 36 minutes, 41 secondsThat's what brothers and sisters, all things work together for good to them that love him.

1:36:481 hour, 36 minutes, 48 secondsWe are predestinated. We are called. We are justified.

1:36:551 hour, 36 minutes, 55 secondsNow we are glorified here. Our glorification is going to go go come there. It's going to happen here. That's

1:37:041 hour, 37 minutes, 4 secondswhy John Revelation 21:7 that overcome will inherit everything.

1:37:111 hour, 37 minutes, 11 secondsSo brothers and sisters, God is not object of flesh

1:37:181 hour, 37 minutes, 18 secondsbut he gave the privilege to his chosen seed to have his consciousness.

1:37:271 hour, 37 minutes, 27 secondsWhen you have his consciousness, you have the glorious privilege of thinking with him. Not think about him.

1:37:351 hour, 37 minutes, 35 secondsThink about yourself. When you are thinking with him, there is absolutely no room for iniquity or sin and it bring pleasure to God. You're thinking with him and union and oneness.

Let's pray. Wonderful Holy Father, we are indeed thankful to your grace and your mercy.

Let this message go forth in power and glory to your people across the whole world. Pray in Jesus name. Amen.

The essence of God the Almighty Spirit is His Divine consciousness

Quick Answer

The concept that God's essence is Divine Consciousness is a prominent interpretation in mystical and integral Christian theology, which posits that God is Spirit and Spirit is Consciousness.

Integral Christian View: Theologians like David Bentley Hart and Richard Rohr argue that God is not a separate superior being but Infinite Consciousness or the Mind of God. In this view, Holy Spirit is synonymous with this divine awareness, and humans are localized Infinite Consciousness.

Mystical Perspective: Thinkers like Meister Eckhart and Peter Russell identify God as the all-permeating consciousness of the universe, where being and consciousness are identical. 

Traditional Theology: Classical definitions (e.g., Westminster Catechism) define God’s essence as infinite, eternal, and unchangeable Spirit.  While traditional theology emphasizes God’s personality (intellect, will, emotion) and self-consciousness, it distinguishes between God’s unknowable essence and His communicable energies or grace, rather than explicitly equating His essence solely with consciousness.

Thus, while consciousness is central to understanding God’s omniscience and spiritual nature, it is often viewed as an attribute or mode of God’s personal being rather than the entirety of His divine essence.

How does God's consciousness differ from human awareness?

Differences between divine and human consciousness

The distinction runs along several axes that span both classical and modern theology:

Scope and unity. Human awareness is successive and partial — we focus on one thing at a time, forget much of our past, and are unconscious of our future. Thomas Aquinas argues that God knows all things in a single, simple act of intellect with no need for separate faculties or sequential reasoning.  Gregory of Nyssa describes the divine life as "an eternal act of knowledge and love, in which the God who is infinite being is also an infinite act of consciousness." 

Subject-object structure. Paul Tillich makes a key point: human consciousness is subject-over-object — I am conscious of something.  If God were conscious in that sense, He would occupy one side of a relation and become finite. Tillich's answer is that God is "consciousness transfigured" — not less than conscious, but more; He is the ground from which consciousness, personhood, and meaning arise, without being trapped in the subject-object frame. 

Finitude vs. infinity. The apophatic (negative) tradition — Pseudo-Dionysius, Tertullian, Augustine — insists that any positive description of God is inadequate. Human consciousness is bounded by space, time, and the senses; God's consciousness is unconditioned, unchanging, and without any unconscious. As Augustine put it: "To comprehend him, however, is totally impossible.  The infinite cannot be contained in the finite."

Conditioned vs. unconditioned. Human awareness is shaped by culture, memory, desire, and judgment. In contrast, divine consciousness is described as unconditioned — it recognizes what is without the distortions of self-interest or partiality. In the mystical tradition, this is experienced as a shift from a consciousness of becoming (striving, lack) to one of being (fullness, peace). 

The key caveat: across all these traditions, the consensus is that human language only analogically reaches toward the divine. We can say God is conscious, knowing, loving — but every such word points beyond itself. The gap between the two is not merely a matter of degree but of kind: finite, structured, mediated awareness vs. infinite, simple, unmediated self-presence.

How does divine simplicity affect God's knowledge of time?

Analyzed divine simplicity and God's knowledge of time

Divine simplicity is the metaphysical engine behind the classical doctrine of divine timelessness. The chain of reasoning runs like this:

From simplicity to timelessness. If God has no temporal parts — no "earlier self" and "later self" — then there is no succession within God.  As the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy puts it: "Because God is simple, he cannot have parts and so cannot have material or temporal parts." Without temporal parts, there is no change, no before-and-after, no passage.  God is therefore atemporal — not outside time in the way a rock is outside a room, but in a different mode of existence altogether. 

From timelessness to the eternal "now." Boethius draws the conclusion in the Consolation of Philosophy: since God's knowledge is "measured by eternity," it "dwells in the simplicity of its own changeless present," embracing all of time as a single, undivided act.  There is no "foreknowledge" in the ordinary sense — no looking ahead to something not yet present. As Boethius puts it, it is "not a foreknowledge as of something that is to come, but rather a knowledge of a never-failing present." 

Aquinas sharpens the link. Thomas Aquinas makes the dependence explicit: God's eternity is a correlate of divine simplicity.  In the Summa Theologica (I, q. 46, a. 2):

"God sees all things in His eternity, which, being simple, is present to all time, and embraces all time." 

The simplicity of God's eternity is what allows a single, undivided act of knowing to comprehend every moment — past, present, and future — without any internal succession. As Kevin Staley puts it in a recent defense: "Because his knowing is simple and partless, real succession in the object known does not give rise to succession in God's knowledge of the known." 

The paradox this creates. If God is simple, immutable, and timeless, how can He know contingent, changing things?  A simple being cannot "update" its knowledge. The classical answer is that God knows all things in a single, eternal act — not by knowing them successively, but by knowing His own essence, which is the cause of all things.  Moses Maimonides articulates this clearly: God knows the particulars of human experience "by knowing His own essence and by knowing that His own essence is the cause of everything." 

The modern challenge. This is precisely where the debate gets heated. William Lane Craig and proponents of theistic personalism argue that a simple, timeless God cannot genuinely know what is happening now in a way that is responsive to human freedom. Alvin Plantinga famously argued that divine simplicity renders God unable to have distinct properties (knowing, loving, willing) and thus undermines the very notion of a personal God who responds. Open theists and process theologians go further, denying atemporality altogether and insisting God experiences genuine novelty.

The classical defenders (Aquinas, Boethius, and contemporary Thomists like Scott Hahn and Brian Davies) reply that the difficulty is a product of our temporal perspective, not a genuine incoherence: a simple, timeless act of knowing is not less knowledge, but a different kind of knowledge — one that is not successive, not partial, and not conditioned by the very time it comprehends.

How does divine simplicity differ from divine simplicity in process theology?

The question contains a false symmetry: process theology does not offer a rival version of divine simplicity — it rejects the doctrine outright. The contrast is between classical simplicity and its deliberate replacement by dipolarity.

Classical divine simplicity (Aquinas, Augustine, Maimonides, the Fourth Lateran Council's simplex omnino) holds that God has no parts of any kind — no matter-form, essence-existence, or potency-act composition. God does not have goodness, wisdom, or power; He is each of them. All attributes are identical with His single, undivided act of being (*ipsum esse subsistens*). This entails immutability, impassibility, and atemporality as logical consequences.

Process theology's rejection (Whitehead, Charles Hartshorne) replaces this with a dipolar God who has two genuinely distinct natures:

- A primordial nature — eternal, abstract, containing all possibilities (the closest analogue to the classical "simple" pole)

- A consequent nature — temporal, concrete, *constituted by* God's experience of the world, changing as new actual occasions emerge

This is not a "modified simplicity" but an affirmation of internal complexity. God has parts — or at least aspects that are genuinely distinct from one another. As Hartshorne framed it, this is "dual transcendence": God is unsurpassable in richness and abstract necessity, yet *grows* through interaction with finite actualities.

Why process theology rejects simplicity. The motivation is relational: a simple, immutable God cannot genuinely *respond*, *suffer*, or be *affected* by creation. Whitehead's "fellow-sufferer who understands" is a direct repudiation of both simplicity and impassibility. In process thought, divine simplicity is incompatible with genuine relationality, because God's consequent experiences introduce real novelty and change.

The stakes. As the comparison tables make clear, the rejection of simplicity is not an isolated tweak — it cascades into redefining or denying immutability, impassibility, aseity, and even creation *ex nihilo* (process theology holds that "creativity" is fundamental and coeternal with God). Classical defenders regard this as a wholesale departure: if God is not simple, He is composed; if composed, He can change; if He can change, the classical God is gone.

The Metaphysical Structure of Each Position

Classical simplicity is not "God has few properties." It is the claim that there is no real distinction of any kind within God — not between essence and existence, not between being and its properties, not between God as subject and God's acts.  God is ipsum esse subsistens: subsistent being itself. When we say God is good, we are not saying God has goodness as a property; we are saying God is goodness, and that goodness is numerically identical with God's existence, which is numerically identical with God's wisdom, which is numerically identical with God's power. There is one act, one reality, one esse.

This has a radical consequence that is often missed: God's self-knowledge and God's knowledge of creatures are the same act. God does not first know Himself and then, as a second act, know the world. His single, simple act of self-presence is His knowledge of everything, because everything that exists exists only insofar as it participates in that one act. The simplicity of the knower entails the simplicity of the knowing.

Dipolarity is not "God has two properties." It is the claim that God has two genuinely distinct natures that are not reducible to one another.  Whitehead's formulation: "Any instance of experience is dipolar, whether that instance be God or an actual occasion of the world." The primordial nature is God's conceptual prehension of all eternal objects — His envisagement of every possibility, ordered by value, as the initial aim or "lure" offered to each actual occasion.  It is permanent, abstract, and unaffected by the world. The consequent nature is God's physical prehension of the world as it actually becomes — His concrete, temporal experience of what creatures are doing, feeling, and deciding.  It changes with every new actual occasion.

The critical asymmetry: in classical theism, the one act contains all distinctions without any being real. In dipolar theism, the distinction between primordial and consequent is ontologically real — the two natures are genuinely different in kind, not merely in our conceptual description.

Hartshorne's Specific Arguments Against Simplicity

Hartshorne did not reject simplicity on a single ground. He mounted a multi-front assault:

1. The argument from divine relativity. This is his most powerful and most widely cited argument. If God knows contingent states of affairs — say, a woman listening to a bird sing at a particular time and place — then there must be contingency in God.  For if the object of knowledge could be otherwise (the woman not listening), then the knowledge itself could be otherwise (God knowing that she is not listening). But a simple God, in whom nothing could be otherwise, cannot know anything contingent. As Hartshorne put it: "We can totally exclude contingency from God only by denying God any knowledge of anything contingent, a step that not even traditional or classical theists wish to take." 

The classical reply is that God knows contingents in His necessary act of knowing His own essence, and that this does not introduce contingency into God's being. Hartshorne considers this a category error: it conflates the object of knowledge (which is contingent) with the act of knowing (which, in his view, must share the modality of its object).

2. The aesthetic argument. Hartshorne held that classical theism was "as defective from an aesthetic point of view as the traditional philosophy of nature." A God who is absolutely simple, with no internal complexity, variety, or differentiation, is trivially simple — the opposite of the "ultra-complexity" that beauty demands.  "The beauty of the world is in its partly unprogrammed spontaneities," he wrote. A God who embodies only one pole of every contrast (active but not passive, necessary but not contingent, being but not becoming) is, aesthetically, a monopolar and therefore incomplete conception. True divine perfection requires the "double extremes" — the unity of opposites held in tension. 

3. The argument from personal character. A simple God, in whom all properties are identical, cannot have a character in the ordinary sense. Character requires a stable pattern of dispositions that are distinct from one another — courage is not the same thing as compassion, even in a single person. If God's love, justice, mercy, and wrath are all numerically identical with His one act of being, then there is no real distinction between them, and the rich moral language of scripture (God's "anger" vs. His "mercy") becomes mere metaphor. Hartshorne's dipolar God, by contrast, has a stable character (the primordial nature) that is expressed through genuinely distinct states of experience (the consequent nature), making divine personality intelligible. 

4. The argument from the problem of evil. A simple, omnipotent, immutable God who is the sole cause of all that exists makes the problem of evil intractable. If God's one simple act is the cause of everything, then God is the cause of evil as such. The dipolar God, who persuades rather than coerces and who is genuinely affected by creaturely choices, provides a more coherent account: God offers the best possible aims, but creatures make their own decisions, and God's consequent nature is shaped by what they actually do. 

The Classical Defense in Detail

Classical defenders do not merely assert simplicity; they offer specific responses to each challenge:

Against the relativity argument. The Thomist response is that God's knowledge of contingents does not introduce contingency into God's being because the act of knowing is identical with God's essence, which is necessary. What is contingent is the object known, not the knower. The analogy: a mirror reflects contingent images, but the mirror's reflective nature is not thereby contingent. More precisely, God knows all things by knowing His own essence, which is the formal cause of all things. The contingency is in the things, not in the divine act.

Against the aesthetic argument. The classical reply is that simplicity is not triviality. Aquinas argues that God's simplicity is the highest possible richness — a simple being contains all perfections without the limitation that comes from composition. A being composed of parts is limited by those parts; a simple being is not. The "ultra-simplicity" Hartshorne dismisses is, for the classical theist, precisely the condition of infinite perfection.

Against the personal character argument. The classical theist distinguishes between real distinction and distinction of reason. God's love, justice, and mercy are really distinct in their objects and their effects in the world, even though they are not really distinct within God. The distinction is "of reason" (distinctione rationis) — it is a feature of our finite intellect's way of apprehending the one divine reality, not a feature of God's being. This is the same move Aquinas makes with the divine attributes generally: we speak of God as loving, just, and merciful, but these are not three things in God; they are three ways in which we finite minds grasp the one, simple act of being.

Against the problem of evil. The classical theist holds that God is the cause of evil only as the permissive cause — He does not will evil as such, but He wills the order of creation in which evil is a privation (the absence of a good that should be present). God's one simple act is the cause of the order in which privations occur, not the cause of the privations themselves. This is the standard Augustinian-Thomistic account, and it is considered adequate by its proponents.

The Cascade of Consequences

The rejection of simplicity is not an isolated move. It cascades through the entire attribute set:

Attribute Classical Theism (with simplicity) Process Theology (with dipolarity)

Omnipotence Absolute power; God can do anything logically possible Redefined; God persuades, not coerces; "C-omnipotence" (ideal power within metaphysical constraints)

Omniscience Timeless, exhaustive knowledge of all facts including the future God knows all actuals; the future is genuinely open and unknowable in principle

Immutability God never changes in any respect God's character is immutable; God's experience changes in the consequent nature

Impassibility God is unaffected by creation God is genuinely affected; "the fellow-sufferer who understands"

Aseity God depends on nothing; self-existent Denied; God and world are correlatives — neither exists independently

Creation ex nihilo Yes; God creates from absolute nothing No; "creativity" is fundamental and coeternal with God; God shapes a pre-existing world

Relation to time Timeless/eternal Temporal in the consequent nature

The last row is perhaps the most consequential. If God and the world are correlatives — if the world is "in God" (panentheism) and God is "in the world" (the consequent nature) — then the classical notion of a God who exists prior to and independent of creation is abandoned.  This is not a minor tweak; it redefines the very meaning of "creator."

Mediating Positions

Not everyone accepts the stark either/or. William P. Alston, a student of Hartshorne's, attempted a mediating position: he agreed with Hartshorne that God has real relations to creatures and that the classical picture of total impassibility is untenable, but he held that creation ex nihilo is fundamental to theism and that God's necessary existence is not compromised by His having contingent properties. David Bentley Hart and John Milbank have attempted to recover a form of divine simplicity that is not "monopolar" by drawing on the Trinitarian dimension: the simplicity of God is not a bare, abstract unity but a relational unity — the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct in relation, not in essence, and this internal relatedness is itself simple (not composed). This "relational simplicity" is an attempt to have both: the partlessness of classical theism and the genuine otherness that Hartshorne demands. 

The debate remains live. The classical defenders (Aquinas, Augustine, Maimonides, the Fourth Lateran Council's simplex omnino, and contemporary Thomists) regard dipolarity as a wholesale departure from the God of revealed theology. The process theologians regard classical simplicity as a Hellenistic import that distorts the biblical picture of a God who is genuinely in relationship with the world. The gap between them is not a matter of degree but of first principles: whether the divine is ultimately one act or an ordered series of experiences.

The Metaphysical Structure of Each Position

Classical simplicity is not "God has few properties." It is the claim that there is no real distinction of any kind within God — not between essence and existence, not between being and its properties, not between God as subject and God's acts.

His single, simple act of self-presence is His knowledge of everything, because everything that exists exists only insofar as it participates in that one act. The simplicity of the knower entails the simplicity of the knowing.

Dipolarity is not "God has two properties." It is the claim that God has two genuinely distinct natures that are not reducible to one another. Whitehead's formulation: "Any instance of experience is dipolar, whether that instance be God or an actual occasion of the world." The primordial nature is God's conceptual prehension of all eternal objects — His envisagement of every possibility, ordered by value, as the initial aim or "lure" offered to each actual occasion.
