Part II - The Union of the Soul & Spirit by E.E. Brooks

What fun it would be to play hide and seek with God?!  Who could ever find anything that He has hidden?  Unless God reveals His secrets to you, they will remain hidden forever.  You only reveal your secrets to those you trust.  A father loves all his children, but he keeps certain things hidden from them until they mature.  The Old Testament calls it the Secret of the Lord or the Secret of God, and the New Testament calls it a Great Mystery.

Psalm 25:14 – “The Secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and He will shew them His covenant.”

Proverbs 3:32 – “For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but His Secret is with the righteous.”

Job 15:8 – “Hast thou heard the Secret Things of God? And dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

Deuteronomy 29:29 – “The Secret Things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”

Amos 3:7 – “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His Secret unto His servants the prophets.”

Colossians 1:26-27 – “26 Even the Mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in YOU, the hope of Glory.”

Ephesians 5:31-32 – “31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and They Two Shall Be One Flesh.  32 This is a great Mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”

1 Corinthians 2:6-7 – “6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7  But we speak the wisdom of God in a Mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.”

Ephesians 1:9-10 – “Having made known unto us the Mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one ALL things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him.”

Mark 4:11 – “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the Mystery of the Kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables.”

Romans 16:25-26 – “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the Mystery, which was kept Secret since the world began, 26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith.”

1 Corinthians 2:7-10 – “7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a Mystery, even the Hidden Wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto Our Glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the Heart of Man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”

1 Corinthians 15:51 - “Behold, I shew you a Mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed.”

Ephesians 3:9 – “And to make all men see what is the Fellowship of the Mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.”

1 Timothy 3:16 – “And without controversy Great is the Mystery of godliness: GOD was Manifest in the Flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angles, preached unto the Gentiles, believed in in the world, received up into Glory.”

We must use wisdom when sharing these secrets with those who are less mature.  Babies and children do not need to know everything that adults know.  Only share the deeper things of the Lord with those the Holy Spirit leads you to.  Secrets are kept from the immature for a reason, they simply are not ready yet.

Proverbs 11:13 – “A talebearer revealeth Secrets: but he that is of faithful spirit concealeth the matter.”

Proverbs 25:2 – “It is the Glory of God to Conceal a thing: but the honour of Kings is to Search Out a matter.”

Priests after the order of Melchisedec, and Kings with honor will search out this Godly Secret.  Let’s all pray that God would help us as we search out this Secret of God in His Word.  He told us that is we seek, we will find.  These hidden truths were not intended to remain a mystery forever.  The Book of revelation was not designed to never be understood by anyone, it was designed to keep certain things Secret until the time is right.  Have you ever read a scripture that you had not taken notice of before, even though you may have read it several dozens of times?  When God shines his light on scripture, then it makes sense.  His truth is hidden in plain sight!  It was there all along, but we could not see it until he helps us.  Here are some clues to the Great Mystery.

CLUE #1 – The Great Mystery is like the UNION between a man and his wife!

Ephesians 5:31-31 – “31 For this cause shall a Man leave his father and mother, and shall be JOINED (Union) unto his Wife, and they TWO shall be ONE FLESH.  32 This is a Great Mystery: but I speak concerning CHRIST and THE CHURCH.”

Adults understand what this verse is saying.  A man and his wife become One in the act of love making, and the two become one.  They are joined together in a Fleshly Union, but this Mystery is about a Spiritual Union.  God is the One who ordained and created the physical love making process.  This natural union is symbolic of the Spiritual Union that will occur within each Overcomer.

 

CLUE # 2 – The Mystery involves a FELLOWSHIP, or UNION.

Ephesians 3:9 – “And to make all men see what is the Fellowship (Union) of the Mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been Hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.”

This mystery has been hid from the beginning of the world.  The Greek word for Fellowship holds a deeper meaning which implies more than today’s word.  Today the word “fellowship” has a meaning that implies “friendship”.  Many get together for food, fun and fellowship.  Let’s look at the Greek definition for the word fellowship.  We must keep in mind that this is speaking Spiritually and not physically.

Fellowship = Spiritual Union

[G2842] koinonia (ko-nohm-ee-ah) means: FELLOWSHIP, association, community, COMMUNION. Joint participation, INTERCOURSE, INTIMACY.

KJV usages: fellowship, communion, distribution, contribution, to communicate.

This is NOT the same as physical intercourse, but it is speaking of a Spiritual Union.  It’s so important to understand this point, that I would like to make it again.  We need to be mature as we examine the parallels between physical and spiritual union.  The Bible speaks of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb as referring to a Spiritual Union.

CLUE #3 – This is a Spiritual Union (Inward Union).

I Corinthians 6:16-17 – “16 What? Know ye not that he which is JOINED to an Harlot is one Body? For two, saith he, shall be one Flesh (Body).  17 But he that is Joined unto the Lord is One SPIRIT.”

We need to examine this parallel with Spiritual Eyes and Ears!  This is a Spiritual Union, not a physical one!  Only the mature will be able to see it is Spiritual and not Fleshly.  We are joined to the Lord in Spirit!

 

CLUE #4 – The Mystery involves OUR GLORY.

1 Corinthians 2:7 – “But we speak the wisdom of God in a Mystery, even the HIDDEN Wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto Our Glory.”

Glory is for the Body, we refer to the body that Jesus has as a Glorified Body.  Jesus has a Glorified Physical Body that he inherited from the Father.  Jesus was Transformed on the Mt. of Transfiguration and His face shone like the sun.  The Manifested Sons will also have this same type of Transfigured Body that Jesus has.  They will experience immortality in their physical bodies which leads us to the next point. 

[Website authors note: As much as I agree with Brooks that this is a Spiritual Union, it has been my experience that it is very much a Physical Union as well, for others have witnessed the Light that radiates from one’s face after having had this intimacy with the Lord in the Spirit.  What I’m saying is, the Spiritual has a lasting effect on the Physical which is outwardly manifested to the people around you. . .even those whose eyes are closed to spiritual things can see this Light as it was when Moses came down from Mt. Siani after having talked with God face to face.]

CLUE #5 - The Hope of Our Glory lies Within US.

Colossians 1:26-27 – “26 Even the Mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in YOU, the hope of Glory.”

CLUE #6 – Part of the Mystery is that We Shall Not All Die!

1 Corinthians 15:51 - “Behold, I shew you a Mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed.”

Put all these clues together and we see a picture of a spiritual union within us that is likened unto the union between a man and his wife.  The result of this union is the Glory of the Father in the Body.

Now that we have a good idea that the mystery is about a union, we understand why God only reveals it to those who are ready.  The natural love making process between a man and a woman is but a reflection of what God will perform within us.  There are some other Hidden things that we can examine, like the Hidden Man of the Heart and the Hidden Manna for staters.  We all have a Spirit, Soul and Body.  It is no coincidence that the Spirit / Heart is Masculine and the Soul / Mind is feminine.  How do we know the Spirit is masculine?  Because God’s word tells us that it is the Inner MAN and the Hidden MAN of he Heart.  Even men have a feminine Soul / Mind and we will  go into that later. 

We ARE a SPIRIT >> We HAVE a SOUL >> We LIVE in a BODY

The Hidden man of the Heart (Spirit)

Ephesians 3:16-17 - “16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the INNER MAN. 17 That Christ may dwell in your Hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love. . .”

1 Peter 3:4 - “But let it be the Hidden Man of the Heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet Spirit, which is in the sight of god of great price.”

Even women have a hidden man of the heart / spirit.  Yes, even women can be circumcised because it is the circumcision of the heart!  We are a Spirit, and we have a Soul.  The Spirit is masculine, the Soul is always feminine, even in men!  The Bible says the Soul is like a Garden.  A Garden receives Seed even as a Womb does.  In fact, the Bible refers to part of the soul / mind as the “Loins of your Mind.”

1 Peter 1:13 – “Wherefore gird up the Loins of your Mind. . .”

 

Hidden Manna is Hidden Seed

Exodus 16:31 – “And the House of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander Seed white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.”

The Manna is like coriander Seed.  Overcomers will eat the Hidden Manna, or Hidden Word.  They will fully mature and partake of this mystery that has been hidden from the world.  God’s Word is the Seed, or Sperma in the Greek.  You are the field where the seed or sperma of God is sown.  This is all about spiritual reproduction.  God is reproducing Himself in Us!  We are the Sons of God!  Thise who fully mature will be the manifested Sons of God, and be exactly like Jesus. 

Matthew 13:24 - “Another parable put He forth unto them, saying The Kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed Good Seed [G4690] in his field.”

Revelation 2:17 – “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Hidden Manna, and will give him a WHITE STONE, and in the Stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”

The Hidden Manna is the hidden seed.  The White Stone is a pure testicle.  The New Name is a new nature (Divine Nature).  The man who was wounded in this “stones” or had his “privy member” cut off, could not enter the tabernacle of Moses.  Why would God say that?

Deuteronomy 23:1 – “He that is wounded in the Stones (testes), or hath his Privy Member (male organ) cut off, shall NOT enter into the congregation of the LORD.”

The reason is this, the Priesthood was masculine, and the Tabernacle of Moses was feminine.  That is exactly why women were not allowed into the tabernacle.  When the High Priest made entrance into the Most Holy Place, it was another picture of a Spiritual Union!  Did you know that Hebrews calls the Tabernacle a “Parable”?

Hebrews 9:8-9, 11 - “8 . . .the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first Tabernacle was yet standing. 9 Which was a Figure [Parable] for the time then present. . . 11 But Christ being come an High Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect Tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building.”

In Exodus 26, the KJV translates the Hebrew words; shoulder, rib and thighs into the English word sides.  The 2 sides of the Outer Court are called Shoulders in the Hebrew.  The sides of the Holy Place is referred to as the Ribs (which reminds me of when God took Adam’s Rib and made woman).  The western veil of the Holy of Holies is called the 2 Thighs in t he Hebrew! The Most Holy Place can be etymologically connected to a woman’s womb!  Why did God say that a man who was wounded in the stones or had his privy member cut off could not enter the tabernacle?  Because it is a parable of UNION.

What was in the Holy of Holies?

Hebrews 9:3-4 – “3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All (Most Holy Place); 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had Manna, and Aaron's Rod that budded, and the Tables of the Covenant.”

  1. Manna

  2. Aaron’s Rod

  3. Two Stones Tablets

Aaron’s Rod is symbolic of the male organ.  The Manna is symbolic of the Seed or Sperm.  The Two Tablets are symbolic of the testes.  These are the things needed to produce a Manchild.

Furthermore, we have been made Kings and Priests.  There is a priesthood and tabernacle within each man and woman.  That means there is also as Ark within you.  Remember that the Ark was to be carried on the shoulders of the priests!  We carry our Ark on our shoulders as well, for it is found within the soul / mind within our head!

There is going to be a Union of the Spirit and Soul within those who are in the priesthood after the order of Melchisedec.  An “order” is a brotherhood or fellowship, similar to a labor union today.  These priests or sons will be led by the Spirit.  Remember that part of the Mystery is that Death will overcome.  We shall not all sleep (die).  The Melchisedec Priesthood is the power of an endless Life.  The Mystery of God, or the Secret of the Lord, is an unfolding plan.  There will come a say when the mystery will be finished.  That Day is close at hand.  The Sons of God will be manifested to the world.  There will be a climax to all things God declared to his servants the prophets.  The Glory of the Lord will shine upon the physical bodies of the Sons of God.  There will be a union of the spirit and soul within the Overcomers, and they will be led by the Spirit.  Sometimes we are led by the Spirit / Heart and other times by the Soul Mind.  The spirit and soul currently are not in union or agreement.  The carnal mind wants one thing, but the spirit desires another.  The Mind of Christ within you needs to replace the carnal mind.  The Spirit must enter into a union with the perfect mind of Christ.  Those who sit IN God’s Throne will have put on the mind of Christ and their Spirit and Soul will be in Union.  There will be no disagreements between the spirit and soul then, for they will both do the will of the Father.

The Bridegroom and the Bride

The marriage of a man and woman parallels (or is a parable of) the union of the Spirit and the Soul.  The Spirit being the Bridegroom (Christ in YOU) and the Soul being the Bride of Christ (Mind of Christ).  This union of the spirit and soul within is a mystery to the immature.  This spiritual union will produce a new “Child” (or Manchild) in the same way that a natural inion results in a physical baby.  The natural union results in the corruptible physical body, whereas the spiritual union produces a glorified physical body which is not corruptible.  This union results in the Immortality of the physical body and thereby Death is Overcome.  It is Christ IN YOU that gives this hope of Glory (a glorified body) exactly like the one that Jesus has.  Thise who have the union of the spirit and soul will also be One with Jesus and the Father.  They will all share the same Glory that the Father gave Jesus.  John 17:22, “And the Glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one.”

The church cannot see this mystery.  They are still in the dark because of their immaturity.  Some of them see only the Passover experience and stay in that realm year-after-year.  They accept Jesus into their Heart / Spirit and do not see the need for any further experiences in God.  Others accept Jesus into their Hearts / Spirits and they also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, embracing the Feast of Pentecost.  The Holy Spirit them begins to work on their Soul / Minds, changing it into the Mid of Christ.  The Holy Spirit deals with our minds by teaching us and bringing all things to our remembrance.  Even Pentecostals have decided to stay at their level of maturity and not move into spiritual adulthood.  They sadly wait for a secret “rapture” to save them!

Deuteronomy 16:16 – “Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Passover), and in the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), and in the Feast of Tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the Lord empty.”

Revelation 21:3 – “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with Men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”

Revelation 10:7 – “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the Mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”

Ephesians 2:21-22, 3:1-6, 9-11, 16-19 – “21 In whom all the building (Your Body) fitly framed (Joined in Union) together groweth unto an Holy Temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an Habitation of God through the Spirit. . .3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the Mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the Mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same Body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel. . .9 And to make all men see what is the Fellowship (Union) of the Mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church (Ecclesia: called out ones) the Manifold Wisdom of God, 11 According to the Eternal Purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. . .16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the Inner Man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD.”

This secret union was planned to fill you with All the Fulness of God.  Do you believe that you can be filled with ALL the Fulness of God?  If it were not possible, then God would not have said it.  Those who Overcome will stop at nothing less than all the fulness of God.  They will be partakers of the Divine Nature.

2 Peter 1:4 – “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these YE might be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

There comes a time when parents tell their children about the “facts of life”.  It takes wisdom on the part of the parents to know exactly when their child is ready for this knowledge.  As a child is developing over the years certain things are kept a Secret from them until the time is right.  As a child begins to go through puberty, certain changes occur and their body matures.  This “coming-of-age” is often a most difficult time for the child as their whole world rapidly changes.

1 Corinthians 13:11 – “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”

Before the Secret of the “birds and the bees” is passed on to the child, they must also be mentally mature enough to handle the information.  There needs to be a physical as well as a mental maturing on the part of the child to avoid unplanned teenage pregnancies.  This Secret information is intended to prepare adults for marriage.  Our heavenly Father also has a Secret.  This spiritual secret is only for the spiritually mature.  Many Christians refuse to mature spiritually.  They choose to dwell on the milk of the word their whole life.  Sunday-after-Sunday, year-after-year, they go to church to get a warm bottle of milk only to be left spiritually infantile.  Others will not be satisfied unless they will leave the mother’s milk to search out the mature things of God.  The heavenly Father knows exactly where your level of spiritual maturity is.  He has a secret that he wants to reveal to His mature Sons.  This secret contains the real “Spiritual Facts of LIFE”.  There are some 30-60 & 100-fold Christians which means that some will make it to the 100 mature realm like Jesus did.  It’s been hidden and reserved for those who will partake in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.  You must have spiritual ears and eyes to understand this.  It is also called a Mystery because most never hear it, nor would they understand it. 

Today, God has chosen Y-O-U to reveal His secrets to!  It is not an accident that you are reading these words or hearing this message!  God does not tell you anything unless He thinks you are ready.  There comes a time when God unfolds His plan and purpose to His Sons.  The is a generation that needs to understand these hidden things which the Lord has in store for them.  God did not tell everyone because they were not ready.  They were not mature, so He spoke in parables.

Those who are mature are of “Full Age”.  Mankind as a whole has been maturing over the past 6,000 years now.  There is a generation that will be the last generation before the Manifestation of the Sons of God.  They will need to know the secrets of the Lord.  These are the ones who become Perfect or Mature.  They will be ready to conceive and bring forth New Life.  The human body was never designed for the cemetery.  God’s eternal purpose is to glorify this mortal body and clothe it with immortality.

Most Christian’s remain immature, and they desire the milk of the word.  Those who are mature desire the meat of the word.  There is another way of looking at the following scripture.  Babies desire the milk from the mother’s breast, while the meat, or the breast itself is for the husband! 

Hebrews 5:12-14 – “12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need for milk, and not strong meat.  13 For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are full age, even those by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Would God reveal His secrets to a baby?  No, it would only do harm to the baby.  Can a baby understand the mysteries of God?  No, they are immature and ready for spiritual adulthood, and the things that along with it.  So then, God speaks in parables and mysteries to keep it a secret from the babes.  The funny thing is that they know about the Life, but then again, they don’t know.  Does God love these immature babes?  Yes, but He would like to see them grow up to adulthood.  The manifested Sons of God will be fully mature and ready for marriage.

God, in His infinite wisdom, keeps His secrets hidden in His word.  There is truth hidden in the pages of the Bible that only the Overcomers will understand.  Those who Overcome every enemy will partake of the Hidden Manna.  The Mystery is likened to the union of a man and a woman.  The Secret of God is about the things like the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, the Bridegroom and the Bride of Christ, Circumcision of the Heart, Loins of the Mind of Christ in You the Hope of Glory!  It all speaks of a Union within, the Union of the spirit and soul.

Romans 2:29 – “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the Heart, in the Spirit, and not in the letter.”

Duality

There is a duality of physical bodies: male and female.  There’s also a duality of the Spirit and Heart.  The Heart is what you circumcise, and is therefore symbolic of the male organ.  The circumcised heart has the fleshly foreskin removed, then the blood of Jesus can bring Uprightness or Righteousness, like the blood sustains an upright male organ.

Psalm 32:11 – “Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are Upright in Heart.”

Psalm 36:10 – “O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the Upright in Heart.”

Psalm 11:11 – “Praise ye the LORD.  I will praise the LORD with my whole Heart, in the assembly of the Upright.”

>>>The seed is planted in the womb via the male organ or the upright heart.  The Upright Heart is the same as the High Priest.  The Priest had to be able to Stand Erect in the Most Holy Place on the Day of Atonement.  If there was any imperfection, the priest DROPPED DEAD, or HIS BODY WENT LIMP. <<<  We need to be able to stand in the Most Holy Place, and that’s why we need to have a circumcised upright heart.  Remember the Spirit is the hidden man of the Heart.

There is a duality of the Soul / Mind as well.  There’s a Carnal Mind and the Spiritual Mind, or the Mind of Christ.  The Soul / Mind is feminine in both men and women alike.  The Soul / Mind is the Garden in that it receives seed.  Thoughts are planted in the mind which is really a womb.  The Bible refers to it as the Loins of the Mind.

1 Peter 1:13 – “Wherefore GIRD UP the Loins of your Mind (Soul), be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Notice in the verse below that the term fatness means to be pregnant (in Soul / Mind), as opposed to being overweight!

Jeremiah 31:12-14 – “12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their Soul shall be as a Watered Garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.  13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.  14 And I will satiate the Soul of the priests with FATNESS (impregnate them), and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.”

Priests were masculine, but that verse just said their Soul / Mind would become PREGNANT!  The Soul / Mind is feminine, even in the priests.  It is like a Garden where you plant and water Seed.  The masculine Spirit / Heart contains the Seed (word, or sperma).  The feminine Soul / Mind is where the Seed is planted.  This all takes place inwardly on a spiritual level.  This is the union of the spirit and the soul.  The Christians are currently led by their Soul / Mind, but those who are led by the Spirit, they are the Sons of God!

When the feminine soul / mind submits to the masculine spirit / heart, they are in union.  The seed that is planted is the word of God, the sperma.  The result will be a new glorified body of the Manchild!  This is a mystery to the church.  Most Christians do not even know the difference between the spirit and the soul, just like babies who do not even know the difference between boys and girls.

We expect this union to occur during the fullness of the Feast of Tabernacles.  The Hebrew word for Tabernacles is “Succoth” which means tent or covering, and also has been described as a BRIDAL CANOPY.  It all points a union within that will metamorphose or transform us into new LIFE.  This Tabernacle experience will cause immortality to swallow up Death, and the Sons of God will be manifest to reveal His Glory!

The union of the spirit and the soul will produce the promised seed.  There is a carnal mind, and there is the Mind of Christ.  The Spirit must NOT unite with the carnal soul / mind for the result will NOT be the promised seed.  We can look at Abraham as a type of the spirit / heart within.  Abraham took Hagar (the bondwoman) into his tent and produced a son named Ishmael.  This si like the spirit uniting with the carnal mind.  We see the result in churches today.  They simply are not producing the Manchild, but rather a son of the bondwoman.  When Abraham got the word from the Lord that he would have a son with Sarah, then the result was the son of the promise, named Isaac.

Abraham entering into his Tent to be in union with Sarah is a type of the High Priest making entrance into the tent of the Most Holy Place to be in communion with God.

Genesis 18:9-14 – “And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.  10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.  11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.  12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?  13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?  14 Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

The Barren will not remain Barren forever!  The Manchild will conceive within and be manifested to the world.  There is no miscarrying this perfect seed of God.  There is no way to stop this birthing from happening.  It is unstoppable and will happen to someone , why not you?

Isaiah 66:7-10, 14 – “7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.  8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.  9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.  10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her. . . 14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.”

I hope you can see the theme found throughout all these scriptures.  It is about a hidden union, marriage, conceiving, birthing, inheritance and glory.  The Sonship message is one of New Life!  We all speak about the Glory that is to be revealed in the manifested Sons, yet we see none who can do the works Jesus did.  We get a portion of healing here and there, yet there are many who suffer daily.  We are barren like Sarah was in her old age.  We know that God promised the birthing of the Manchild.  Some will overcome the last enemy which is Death, and will do the works that Jesus did and greater!  Year-after-year, decade-after-decade we remain barren.  Some have tried to claim that they were already manifested in some way or another, yet there is no resurrection life.  Someone must mature to the point where they are ready for this spiritual union, and I believe it will be youThere is going to be a small remnant of Christians who go all the way with God.  They will be led by the Spirit and not their carnal Soul.  They will become one with God.  This is not a fairy tale that is in someone’s imagination, but rather a secret that has been hidden since the beginning of time.  There are Sons of the Most High who will sit in the very Throne of God, and they will also have the same Glory that Jesus has been given, and they will be Joined to the Lord.

Isaiah 54:1 – “Sing, O Barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.”

Galatians 4:19, 22-31 – “19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. . . 22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.  23 But he who was of the bondwoman (Hagar) was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman (Saraha) was by promise.  24 Which things are an Allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar (Hagar).  25 For this Agar (Hagar) is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.  26 But Jerusalem which is above is free (Sarah), which is the mother of us all.  27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou Barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.  28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.  29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.  30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.  31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.”

The organized denominations of today are the result of a union with the carnal mind.  They are an Allegory of the son of the flesh, which is in bondage.  Each group plants their seed in the fleshly minds of social Christians, and they bring forth after their own kind.  Turn on the television to the so-called Christian stations [or video clips from Instagram, Tik Tok, etc.] to find the mixture of the Spirit and Flesh like Abraham and Hagar.  Look at any organized denomination and see a weak, anemic example of what the body is supposed to be.  The church prays for revival but, is it God’s will to send revivalNO! Definitely NOT!  If it was His will, we would have revival, and nothing in heaven and earth could stop it!  When God moves on, we must move on with Him.  Every time God moves, man wants to form a denomination around it.  Then God must move again to lead us further into His Truth.  The Sons of God will NOT be tangled up in any denomination, getting sidetracked by manmade laws and traditions.  They will put aside the milky doctrines and on to perfection or maturity.  We must be skillful in the Word!  We must prepare for a Spiritual Union and GROW UP!

Hebrews 5:13-14, 6:1-2 – “13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. . . 1 Therefore Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Those who are skillful in the word leave the milk-realm of doctrine, and search for the hidden manna.  These things are hidden from all but the Remnant who are pressing into the fulness of God.  There is a BIG difference between a caterpillar and a butterfly.  One is an earthbound worm and the other is free to stretch its beautiful wings and fly free into the heavens. There is a latent ability of the human body to change or transform into another form.  This change or metamorphosis will take the Sons of God from their mortal state to an Immortal one.  They will become exactly like their Father and Jesus their brother.  They will leave the realm of being human to the new realm of the Divine.  God has placed His Hidden Seed within us.  Could God’s Seed produce anything less than Himself?  No, a thousand times noWe were all born of a natural seed which produced our physical bodies.  We also have another seed within us which is the very seed of the Most High God, and it will produce a Glorified Body.  We will not remain barren but we must patiently wait like Abraham did.

Hebrews 6:13-15 – “13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.  15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”

Revelation 12:1-2, 5 – “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a Woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. . . 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”

The carnal soul / mind must submit control to the spirit / heart.  The carnal mind must be replaced with the spiritual Mind of Christ.  Romans 8 sums up the union of the spirit & soul.

Romans 8:6-7 – “6 For to be Carnally Minded is death; but to be Spiritually Minded is life and peace.  7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.”

Romans 8:11 – “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

Those who are led by the Spirit, they are the Sons of God.  Some day the spirit and soul will be in union and the two will become one.  Then we will put on the Mind of Christ and be led by the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, which will give LIFE to our mortal bodies.

Romans 8:14 – “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.”

Romans 8:18-19 – “18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the Glory that will be revealed in US.  19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the Sons of God to be Revealed.”

Romans 8:23 – “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our Body.”

Jesus is the firstborn among many.  There will be those who fully mature and change into the same “form that Gid has.  They will be completely filled with the fullness of God.  In the next verse the word “confirmed” is the Greek word “summorphos” which us a total “morphosis” or change of form.  Those who are completely transformed will be Glorified exactly like Jesus.

Romans 8:29-30 – “29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.  30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also Glorified.”

Conformed = [G4832], summorphos – meaning: JOINTLY FORMED that is (figuratively) similar: CONFORMED (to); fashioned like unto

The Greek word “summorphos” appears only one other time in the New Testament and the subject of both verses is a Glorified Body.

Philippians 3:21 – “Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like [G4832] unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” (KJV)

Philippians 3:21 – “Who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will Transform our lowly Bodies so that they will be Like His Glorious Body.” (NIV)

1 John 3:2 - “Beloved, now are we the Sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, We Shall Be Like Him; for we shall we Him as He IS.”

God Bless You Forever!
