CHAPTER 5
TRUTH IN THE INWARD PARTS
Psalm
51:6 “Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part
thou shalt make me to know wisdom.”
In the New Testament,
the Apostle Paul called this the Inward Man. (Rom. 7:22; II Cor. 4:16). Note, this inward man is not the conscious or
subconscious mind. It’s a totally
different mind which is called “The Mind of Christ.” We see this truth in the remainder of Psalm
51:6…”in the hidden part, wisdom is revealed.” Paul later in his writings reveals this as
the Mystery, Christ in you, the Mind of Christ.
(I Cor. 2:16; Phil. 2:5; I Peter 4:1).
We know that the
beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; acknowledging Him, and not leaning
unto our own understanding. (Prov. 3:5-6)
Jesus, though being a Son followed this method; though He could reason
and express the flesh, He walked only in this Mind set of the Spirit hearing
from the Father. He demanded, as I have
mentioned before in my opening chapters, that those around Him to accuse Him of
sin, doing anything independent from this method. He said many times, “the words I speak aren’t
my own but my Father’s.” Though we can
reason and express the weakness of our flesh, we too are called to follow this
same method, walking in the leading of the Spirit, waiting on the Spirit for
righteousness (hearing from Christ in us).
Subjecting every “self” elevated thought unto Christ, (II Cor. 10:5; II Cor. 3:5; Gal. 6:3; hearing
and allowing this Christ, “while we live now in the flesh, we live by the faith
(Christ hearing from the Father to relay to us something that would over ride
our flesh views and opinions, thus directing our path). This is what we are expected to experience.
Paul prayed that we
would receive such a Spirit of wisdom and revelation beyond conforming to any
present world view of any matter. “As
many that are lead by the Spirit, these are the Sons of God.” You can test this Spirit to see if it is the
Holy Spirit which Jesus followed, by a simple question, ask the spirit, “Did
this Christ, the Son of God come in a human body, and was this human, who
referred to Himself as the Son of Man, was this man, Jesus, the Son of God, God
of very God?” If you notice, every major
cult will deny this, thus depriving Jesus of Deity. You also will notice that in the Pagan world,
Evil has attempted to mimic what we call The Trinity. Those in the cult world use this to back
their claims that the Trinity is Pagan.
I will not go into this further in this book leaving it for another work
I have been working on for years. You
can’t imagine how important this is in light of our every having the chance of
hearing God’s voice. It has become just
“another scarecrow in God’s corn field.”
CHAPTER 6
ETERNAL
REPERCUSSIONS
If what I share here is
only Paul Woodward’s opinions it matters little. Yet, if what I claim and share at times is
not my opinions, realize this, eternal repercussions come into play. I do not use, “thus saith the Lord.” I simply say what’s shared to me. Most of the time it is general speaking and
not directed to any given individual; yet there are times when it is directed
to someone in particular. It is not my
opinion or personal judgment, just things I am instructed to share.
Can we claim, “the words
I speak, they are spirit and they are life?”
I believe the answer is yes; otherwise what are our words if they aren’t
spirit originating, thus offering life to the hearer? Wouldn’t we want to administer life rather
than death? There have been too many
laying such a claim to only find out it was presumptuous of them. They never heard from God on the matter nor
were they lead of this life giving Spirit, ending in death to what they falsely
claimed. Yet knowing this, please don’t
allow the Devil’s scarecrow to keep you out of God’s corn field. If and when you know what you have received
is coming from the Holy Spirit, you must share it; many times at the
misunderstanding of others.
As I’ve said, you know
its source and adding “thus saith the Lord’ to it would not be
recommended. No one is going to believe
it anyway, “son of the carpenter.”
CHAPTER
7
Intuition Defined (Method)
I want to share
something of a “how to do” in light of this matter I have mention before, of
getting “Spirit given words to reveal Spirit given truths.” (I Cor. 2:13) What
I am doing is for a few others I communicate to, too assisting them in “seeing”
the process in living experience that I will share here. At first these Spirit given words come via Intuition;
other words, not prompted by me or the external world. They just drop deep in us, even beyond the
subconscious. Note, we get thoughts of
our own coming up out of our subconscious, this is not what I mean by Intuition. I bring out in another work, that there are
“spaces” between the matter of the material gray matter we call our brain;
spaces where the TRUE source of power resides.
The subconscious is only a transmitter of this True power. It is also, “like unto” our sun…a light
holder, but not the source of the light that it holds. It is capable of receiving in two directions
for some, but not all. For those who are
spiritually conscious, this subconscious area can, via what I have mentioned,
receive INTUITIONAL THOUGHTS. The power
from these intuitional thoughts cannot be compared to those thoughts we receive
from the material world. When David
said, “on thy word do I meditate day and night,” he was referring to these
intuitional thoughts given to him, not necessary the words off scrolls in his
possession. Know this - he was writing
down these thoughts he was meditating on at that time; we call it The Bible.
With that said, I now
will give what I have called pocket notes, then in a later chapter show how the
Spirit “fitly joins” these intuitional thoughts into an explosion of
truth. Note many times these isolated
intuitional thoughts come over a period of time. I am instructed at those moments to store
them in my treasure house for a future explanation. “Every scribe which is instructed into the
kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth
forth out of his TREASURE things new and old.” Matt. 13:52). Note, the Jewish Scribes failed, in that they
focused on the letter of the Book, the old, and were not in tune with the
Living, intuitional word which I speak of here.
What Christ was referring to here, using the word scribe, was what they
should have been, and what we here are striding to fulfill. I have thoughts stored in my mind. Call it structuring, like in our school days
of English, learning to structure sentences.
Many times I am instructed to “just” read things, and then put it
down. Why? To gain a vocabulary which the Holy Spirit
uses as structure (in-between words, where these Intuitive thoughts are
expressed).
So here are just a few
of my isolated thoughts, to be fitly joined together in later chapters of this
book. (The UNDER-LINED WORDS are Intuitional thoughts, words between are the
structure to give expression to intuitional thoughts…to be developed even
further in later chapters. This gives you some idea of how this all works. So bear with this part; it may appear as just
jumbled isolated thoughts, which you will see appear in later chapters of this
book. I only share these to give you the
reader some idea of the process the Holy Spirit will use to bring about this
“Dawning of the Day Star” in our hearts.)
December
2005: PRIMAL
BASE….notes, before Adam’s fall….condition. The Primal intent of this experience before
the fall was before Evil’s usurping of mankind’s power. Creation subjected to futility in hope…(Rom.
8:20 unreality, not of the Primal intent). Moaning, groaning,…signs of creation’s
conflict, effected by the minds of mankind out of control, unable to
control, unaware of what once was, mankind’s task of control. Thoughts spoken by the tongue empowered of a mind
gone amok.
Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do. Things
Christ did we should be able to do and greater.
It’s the hope of creation that the re-instilled power be manifested from
those who realize what Christ accomplished.
What the first Adam lost, the second Adam (Jesus) demonstrated. His Disciples asked,“What manner of man is
this?” (Matt. 8:27) He was what Adam was
and could have been before his fall. Adam’s
world, before the fall, was perfect ONLY IN THAT HE HAD THE POWER TO KEEP
IT…sustain what was created. Perfect
only in this sense, “He had the power to deal with any situation that would
arise.” Body exercise profits
little, but Godliness is profitable in THIS LIFE and the Life to come. NOBLE MINDS….their down fall, development
of the subconscious mind cut off from intuition…. the subconscious “id”. Reprobate mind…meaning, using the mind for
that which it was not intended to be used for, Rom. 1:28. A “living machine” that never shuts down,
empowered to destruction. The flood.
NOTE: This is just an example of how some rather
long chapters in this book and others were developed. I share this to give you the reader an
experience of what Paul the Apostle was saying would happen in I Cor. 2:13
“Which things also WE speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but
which the Holy Ghost teaches; COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL.
(“Spirit given words revealing spirit given truths” is it’s better translation)
Here is one more
example which I have developed in my other book called, “Rights of the Unfallen
Adam”:
January
2006: In hope,
meaning the experience, after the flood, was somewhat of a relief from the
condition before the flood under what was called a curse. Yet, though a relief, it still wasn’t what
the original intent imposed. It
wasn’t a curse, but a blessing in that
its reality would point to a higher reality “unseen” (hope)….thus the statement
said above…subjected to futility (unreality)…in HOPE (the unseen). There would be a higher degree, on
mankind’s part, or better put, harder ability to control his world, being cut
off from a higher power, to control…this would impose death sooner and more
often, in one sense, shorten mankind’s life span. Yet, note this, Christ’s accomplishment
brought about at least the potential to gain a higher power and greater
control. “IF a man keeps my sayings he
shall never see death.” John 8:51…NOTE:
this short paragraph has developed into another book I will be putting
out called, “Rights of the Un-Fallen Adam.”
All these isolated
thoughts, believe it or not, have come together and have been the means by
which I am able now to write the books I will be sharing. At the moment these thoughts were given to
me, I was in the dark as much as some of you may be as you read them. You will find them developed in the following
chapters of this book and other books I have been lead to put together. So, let’s continue on now to the next
chapter.
CHAPTER 8
ONCE
FOR ALL ACT
If we give it other
thought, these other thoughts cancel out the original. I like how Kenneth Wuest in his expanded Greek
translation of Romans 12 translates the word “present” (present your bodies a
living sacrifice). “By a once for all
act, once for all.”
Think about this for a
moment. A once for all settled thought
and than once for all, make it known; from that point on don’t add or give it
further thought or you cancel the original thought out.
Now understand that
prior to coming to this once for all thought, once for all, you have time to
reflect over that thought and have this tennis match go on in your mind from
positive to negative belief, wanting too, not wanting too until you come to
this once for all act/thought, once for all, the decision that seals it, ending
the tennis match of indecision in your mind.
Paul the Apostles’
statement, as translated by Wuest, “Place your seal of approval upon it,” gives
it the force of …don’t bring it up again to yourself or to others. It is called “coming to believe.”
1.
Request
2.
Believe
3.
Expect
I’ve just showed you
the process. What is your request? In
light of this book, to learn to hear God’s voice. Can you come to believe it and expect to
receive it? That’s the tennis match that
goes on in your mind. This is O.K. You should expect it. But know that you may not win the first
match, but by practice you win the next.
Play to win!
