The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. (Isaiah 11:2) Besides being a most welcome facet
of The Holy Spirit, along with the other six Spirits listed
above, THE
SPIRIT OF COUNSEL is something (or Someone) we all
have within us (who are born again).
Some of us have not learned to clear the passages
to release the flow, or to tap into this powerful anointing,
or to recognize or access this Presence and this voice. The Seven Spirits of God are able and available
to impart to us THE MIND OF CHRIST.
There are some things that can block or be in the
place of The Right Things. This understanding is all about getting
THE RIGHT THINGS IN THE RIGHT PLACE, AND THE THINGS THAT
ARE THERE INSTEAD, OUT.
‘THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL’ is the name
of our Counseling Program and Ministry at HIS PRESENT GLORY
CHURCH. We call it that in all honor and due respect
to this special manifestation and anointing of The Holy
Spirit of God that we have experienced in a multitude of
changed lives. It can only be God. Those who are changed know. (John 9:25b “…one thing I do know, that whereas
I was blind before, now I see.” AMP We had all been talking and complaining
and praying but staying the same.
Some battled with addiction, some negativity, self-pity,
pride, fear, jealousy, rejection, self-consciousness, perversion,
lust, etc., etc., etc.,
It was difficult to put The Truth into words and
admit it because of the common strongholds of Pride, Shame
and Fear. We all are involved in the need for
this deep work. There
is no one who does not need this kind of Truth and Light.
This is Transparency.
We need one another to deal with what we need to
in order to ‘put off the old’ and ‘put on the new’ and be
‘fitly framed and joined together’. We need each other to help us ‘put away the
things of a child’… of the old, natural, carnal realm. What a good work it is in us as we each become
willing to learn to become safe to handle the hurting and
scarred hearts of others.
Scripture does not say that we need to trust men,
or that we are trustworthy, but rather to trust in The Lord with all your heart,
and yet confess your faults to one another.
(If you are forming a Spirit of Counsel Group, contact
a current facilitator for guidelines.)
We are prayerful in selecting each groups
members, and yet everyone needs help.
There can be several groups depending on the condition
and the maturity of the members and available faciltators. When we started it was easy to miss
the verbal and obvious messages that made room for procrastination,
excuse making, justifying, rationalizing, alibis and having
lots of good reasons why we were not able to take the ground
and make the changes we were always talking about wanting
to make. Here is
a good question: Do
you want to deal with it or just complain about it?
Do you want to ask your group for some help identifying
what your top issues are? Do you want some honest feedback and counsel
on what your first steps might be in discovering and dealing
with what is hurting and blocking you?
Are you willing to know TheTruth
about your self? Jesus told us not to know Him after the flesh
anymore. He told
us that He is The Truth, and The Light and The Way and The
Resurrection and The Life. Will we embrace Him as The Whole Truth about
us? Will YOU embrace
Him as The Whole Truth about YOU?
Do you want to KNOW THE TRUTH THAT WILL MAKE YOU
FREE? Will it kill
the Pride and Shame and Fear from keeping your spots and
wrinkles covered and isolated by them instead of covered
by The Blood and brought to The Light to become one with
The Light? Our secrets lose their power when WE
bring them to The Light.
They become part of our testimony.
They become what we OVERCOME.
THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT BRING A CROSS TO THE POWER
OF THE PIT IN YOUR LIFE. ALL THAT DIES’ ALLTHE CROSS AFFECTS, IS THAT
WHICH IS NOT YOU (BY GOD’S DESIGN). 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God; NKJV The child of God and sons of God are
not killed by the cross.
The old Adamic, carnal nature and it’s relative
(outlaw and in-law) ungodly spirits are separated from us
by the cross of Christ. AS WE DEAL WITH OTHERS IN MERCY AND
TRUTH AND FORGIVENESS AND PRAYER AND RECONCILIATION AND
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, WE CREATE THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT IS THE GREAT
EQUALIZER. SOONER
OR LATER OUR STUFF WILL COME TO LIGHT, IT IS PROMISED IN
THE WORD OF GOD. ALL THINGS THAT ARE HIDDEN WILL BE BROUGHT TO
LIGHT. THE HIDDEN
THINGS BLOCK OUR GROWTH AND THE FLOW OF THE GIFTS OF THE
SPIRIT IN US AND THROUGH US. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU BRING
YOUR OWN TRUTHS FORWARD YOUR SELF; HOW MUCH MORE HONORABLE. THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE WITH COURAGE GET REAL.
THIS IS A GREAT CONVICTION CUTS WITH
A SURGEONS PRECIOUS SKILL AND TENDERNESS FOR GOODNESS SAKE,
TO REMOVE DIS-EASE. CONDEMNATION
STABS AND LIES FOR THE SAKE DISCOURAGEMNENT. CONVICTION IS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN
CHRIST JESUS. THESE ARE STRETEGIC TIMES ON THE FACE
OF THE EARTH AND THERE IS A BRIEF PERIOD FOR PREPARATION. THIS IS THE PREPARATION FOR THE THIRD DAY; FOR
THE THIRD ‘ONE THOUSAND YEARS’.
HE IS COMING FOR A BRIDE OF CORPORATE SOULS WHO ARE
PREPARED FOR THE MARRIAGE FEAST AND WHO ARE WASHED AND WITHOUT
SPOT OR WRINKLE. WE NOW HAVE BEEN GIVEN EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS
TO LIFE AND GODLINESS. THIS MESSAGE IS A GOOD NEWS MESSAGE
OF WE HAVE THE If you can’t do it alone, get help.
Pray about it and The Lord will be faithful to show you
who, how, what, where and when.
Begin with first things first.
Begin with your own soul. Name the areas you know you need to change.
Name the areas other people around you would say
you need to change. David talked with his soul: ‘Bless
The Lord, oh my soul,”, ‘Why are you downcast, oh my soul?’
Now, you who are spirit, interview
your own soul. Ask your self the right questions and you
will begin to gather some of the right answers.
You will need some in-form-ation
about whom and what it is that has been causing the block
and stronghold against your desired change. ‘Your battle is not with flesh and blood, but
with powers and principalities in high places of wickedness’. As you begin to exercise your discernment
and discerning of spirits, and start taking charge of your
life, as the child and son of God that you are, you can
begin to put a ‘mug shot’ and ‘description’ up of these
criminal, mafia type family of lying spirits (or fami-liar spirits) that have been operating in you, and as
you and through you that actually are not you.
You can start a ‘file’ on them.
Do some investigation work about what has been going on in
your soul and body without your permission and agreement. What kind of transient parasite spirits have
you got deceiving you on an inside job?
When you know what it is that you are
dealing with, (and you can find out by what their thoughts,
goals, acts, end results are, you can also begin to determine
how they got into your life. (Is this something that travels
bloodlines? Does
it run in your family? Was
it modeled for you? Did
it enter as you were being victimized?
Did it show up in your life to mask you or do you
a favor when you were very vulnerable?) It helps to know how something got in because
you would want to find out how to deal with that opening
and close that door and seal it once you move these things
out, so they don’t have access to come back into your life
and bring ‘seven greater’.
You want to be sure that even before anything is
ever ‘cast out’, that you know how to keep it out and what
the right thing is in the right place and that you are already
practicing it, so that it doesn’t’ find the place ‘clean
and garnished’ and vacant, so it has legal rights to come
back in. You will be moving these giants out
of your land. You
will learn from Joshua and Caleb. The
other 8 were full of fear.
Don’t be like them. The fruit is tremendous and worth it all! The grapes are like pomegranates! Pray for and ask God for the Gift of
The Spirit that is the Discerning of Spirits (1 Cor. You learn to be a good steward over
your own soul and body.
There is no ungodly spirit or sickness or disease
that is a part of God’s design for your life.
Renounce it, name it, and separate your self from
it with your words… It is not ‘your’ cancer or ‘your’ depression.
Don’t claim it and don’t be deceived into accepting
it as your life and lot. You go into your own heart and soul
like the FBI, and do the work of a good steward I speak
to you, spirit-man, and son of God.
I speak to The Christ in you now, and I know that
you are The Lover of your soul and the Savior of your body.
You want to observe
the ‘modes operendi’, of these ungodly familiar spirits
that nest in your and use you to host them as they operate
out of you, using your soul and body as their vehicle.
Do not be ignorant of them, the Word of God says.
You want to be sure you know you’re you’re
dealing with them. You have seen the cops do a ‘sting’ on criminal
activity. They observe;
set them up, catch them, bust them, cuff them, bind them
and lock them up. Keep them from operating. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in the supernatural
realm. Do the work,
say the words. The
worlds were formed with words.
With words people marry and make oaths and contracts
that are binding. Use
your words wisely, but use them! Do not be ignorant of the wiles of
the devil. First
begin to become conscious of what is going on in your thought
life. Learn the path of thinking, feeling, willing,
doing. Make no place
for the devil. Make no provision for the flesh. First observe and learn and then you will go
in and make your permanent changes and bring about in your
soul an eternal reward.
Know your enemy, but not as your primary
focus. Your primary
focus is always the presence of God, and especially as Christ
in you, as your identity.
But there will be some intense dealing with the pit
until you have overcome entirely. You will need to know and remove your enemy
with diligence and wisdom and power.
Identify the enemy.
Break them down, separate them, they work in families
or gangs, or tag team partners that form stronghold whenever
possible. What is
the thing you hate and do not want to do?
When I didn’t know The Truth and I
only knew the facts, I pooh-poohed this concept of considering
these things ‘spirits’.
I was told these were my emotions and my mental condition
and I needed to accept it. I was told, for instance, that I had a ‘chemical
imbalance’ and I had a medical or mental or emotional ‘illnesses,
and I would have to learn to live with these things, like
depression and anxiety.
I ‘lived’ with them, or more honestly, I died with
them, for 20 years. They followed my consistency in this torment
in The Ream Study for manic depressives.
I was a classic case. But when I looked into scripture and
found out that there is ‘a spirit’ of heaviness, and ‘a spirit’
of fear, and I besides that, that I have authority over them, that
was good news! I
have authority over them now, in The Name of Jesus
Christ the Son of God. That means I do not have to accept them and
live with them anymore!
The Truth that I now knew was making me free.
When I did not know it, it did not change me.
Now I was learning how to choose my
thoughts; how to think with THE MIND OF CHIRST and how to
LET THAT MIND BE IN ME.
I dealt with depression as
The Spirit of Heaviness and it had to get up off me and
leave. I believed it, The
word of God said it and The devil was now subject to obey
me. The anxiety that was supposedly a ‘personality
disorder’, which of course it is, is one of the spirits of Fear. I had to deal with panic attacks the same way.
Panic is terror. These were terroristic
attacks on my soul. I
didn’t know what was happening the .
My soul needed saving.
I was bound up with fear.
I needed to know The Truth that could make me free. The word of God says that God did not
give me a spirit of Fear, but of love and power and a sound
mind! I have authority over it in The Mighty Name
of Jesus Christ. I
needed to use that authority.
I needed to speak to these spirits.
I needed to submit my self to God and I needed to
resist them (the devil) and then they had to ‘flee from
me’. I did it and
they had to go. I still do it when necessary, although my condition
is nothing like I was then, but they still have to go, and
they do. So I did not know I could choose my
thoughts. I did not
know I didn’t have to accept my diagnosis (and there were
many, because I had put my hope in doctors and they make
diagnosis. Those
diagnoses were like a curse to me.
They were spoken over me to name the things I was
told I had to accept. I DID NOT KNOW BETTER. I DID NOT KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT ME THEN, so I
accepted these things as a part of my defective personality. They well can be a relative to the old adamic, carnal, human nature, but now that I know that I could
and did ‘reckon’ that dead, crucified with Christ, it is
no longer that old thing that is the core of my being and
identity, but in it’s place I have invited and accepted
Jesus, Yashua, and Christ to be
my life. Now I know its not just depression
or heaviness, and anxiety or fear that I deal with in those
same ways. I have learned how to deal with all emotions
in the same way. I
have learned that rather than that old carnal crazy defective
mind I had, I now have access to THE MIND OF CHRIST.
Instead of the miserable emotions I was stuck with,
I was designed to have THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT filling my
emotions. Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work
which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness),
peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness,
goodness (benevolence), faithfulness,
Gentleness
(meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence).
Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].
AMP My spirit man is the presence of The
Spirit of The Son of God in me.
This is Christ in me, The Hope of Glory.
This is the presence and substance of God, who is
‘as He is in this world.’ It is Him, in me, as me, and with me
and through me. I
am this new creature in Christ. This is my Identity. Christ
is my life. The old
man is dead. In his place I accepted Jesus into my heart.
Christ is being formed in me. He is Lord over every area in my life, even
though I am not finished yet; I am complete in Him. ‘Who is joined to The Lord is one spirit’. I am one with God in Christ. My spirit is a deposit of God in the core of
my being. I live
the exchanged life. I
gave Him my life and He gave me His.
We are one. I am a child and son of God in the core of my
being. This is my
identity. It will never change. He will never leave me or forsake me. I have a soul and live in a body and I am no
more my soul or my body than I am my house or my car, but
they are alive and designed for me as my expression and
my vehicle… even more; as I am a spiritman, and my spirit man is The Christ in me, who is of
that same spirit of The Son of God, This Christ in me, the
Hope of Glory is lover of my soul, and savior of my body. What is the trait or characteristic
or does and says, and
you know your own true identity in Christ, then you can
begin to separate your thoughts from the temptation thoughts
of those ungodly spirits that are not you.
Are you really ready for change?
Can you imagine what your life will be like without
the same old problems? What
is the right thing in the right place? What will take the place of what is being changed?
Do you know? What is it that hold
you? What is the
favor it does you? What is the spirit behind it? What do you have to do to maintain it? How long will you remain stuck and why?
Is it pride, shame or fear?
Then those ungodly spirits have seduced and deceived
your soul into putting them on as a mask and hiding under
them instead of humilty, honesty
and the blood of Jesus.
Accountibility Requirements
are a whole-hearted desire and willingness to do whatever
it takes to get ‘unstuck’, and to begin to move into the
fulfillment of our potential, both in THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
which is at hand (Mark 1:15, Luke 21:31), AND IN THIS WORLD. (1 JN 4:17) The absolute core goal and purpose
is for each one to absolutely know and understand with foundation
his or her true identity in Christ and to absolutely know
the voice of God and the mind of Christ and to have no question
that they are not just related to, but rather IN UNION AND
INTIMATE COMMUNION WITH GOD, and furthermore, to know with
Paul, The Apostle, who also wrestled with his identity at
first, (Romans 7:15- Romans 8) who we are and who we are
not, regardless of our weaknesses. (Our identity is the source from which we do
what we do. We need
to know who we are. Jesus
asked ‘Who do you say I am?’
Rather we sin or are righteous, it is out of who
we believe we are in the core of our being. Identity is an absolute necessity in every foundation.
Without the surety of your identity in union with
Christ you have nothing to build on. There are a multitude of mini-teachings
in THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL pages.
Practical Transformation is the focus.
It is the result of the renewing of the mind with the
washing of the water of The Word, (which you will
soon find is the only truth about you). For
too long we, as Christians, have
yet been unable to clearly separate the difference between
our own thoughts and that which is temptation.
Many believe the temptation is their own desire,
rather than a temptation thought of some ungodly spirit,
rather it be lust or jealousy or self-pity, and they accept
the temptation thoughts as their own.
Jesus was on all points tempted.
It is not sin to be tempted.
Once we realize we are dealing with
temptation, at that very moment, we need to recognize it
as not our thought, for we have the mind of Christ.
We can, on the spot, reject it and replace it with
what we know is The Word of God, and therefore, the mind
of Christ, our only Right Mind. We must learn and know exactly where the lines
are. We can manage
our thoughts in faith. We
will experience a death to all that we had accepted as our
own ‘bad’ thoughts and desires. We know because we know we are children of God
and our spirits are born again sons of God (and this is
our identity) that we cannot and do not sin; we have THE
MIND OF CHRIST. LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU. Find the line, for the sake of your own soul,
and your own peace, between temptation and sin. Begin to
learn the steps and where the lines are and establish your
identity in perfect love and practice righteousness These
are elementary steps and threads in the fabric of the revelation
of a huge multi-faceted mystery God is revealing to you. This process is about getting ‘free’,
and not only getting free, but learning to access and live
out of the ongoing Spirit of Counsel, who is able to instruct
and comfort and direct with Wisdom and Understanding and
co-knowledge with God, the steps and the thoughts of our
moment to moment daily lives! ‘Who the Son makes free is free in
deed’. (John 8:36) Are
you free in deed? Are
you free from the power of the pit?
Are you walking in your Promised Land?
Are you free from passivity and fear?
Are you free from self-consciousness, negativity
and depression? Are
you free from besetting sin, from self-pity and addiction? The whole-hearted desire and willingness to
do whatever it takes to move into your Practical Transformation
process define the requirements for those who are candidates
for this no-nonsense, intense and powerful ministry and
program. There are
no ‘Lookie-Lou’s’ allowed. Everyone must become willing and open to Truth
and Light ABOUT THEMSELVES
in order for The Way that is promised to open up to them. This is The Way to Real Love and Real Life.
This is The Way for you to enter into your deliverance,
healing and restoration.
This is The Way of Truth and Light.
This is deliverance from denial and self-deception
that is an agreement with blindness that keeps one stuck.
Those who enter and pursue this intense
and narrow way also will find God’s magnificent and original
perfect design for their lives.
Transparency is a learned thing. It
is a practiced lifestyle. It is authenticity.
If you don’t know the real you, look into the Word
of God. It will tell you who you are as a child of God.
Loving The Truth and embracing and living in The
Light is a brand new concept for
some. It is not impossible, but you must begin somewhere. God has created us perfectly and we
have listened to and been changed by other impressions than
His image, and other voices and other words have shaped
us and told us who we and suggested to us the
path that will make us happy and it didn’t.
The thoughts that we have been entertaining and accepting
about ourselves have not brought us into that which is fulfilling
and satisfying and it is time to find out why and to make
some changes. It is time to draw the line and say ‘enough
is enough’ and to step onto a new platform and a clean canvas
and begin again. This
will bring you into the reality of your true identity in
Christ. This Way will bring a death to religious
spirits, performing, self-hatred, devasted
relationships and hopeless dreams. are than His voice and It comes from the
death to ‘mask-wearing’.
It makes us real.
First we get to join the human race and face our
condition, in fact, and then we are able to move out into
‘The Truth About Me’ realm, which means I get to learn who
I am and also who I am not.
I get to face and understand, at last,
the simple reality about my true identity. It is The Truth THAT I KNOW that makes me free.
Accountability and "speaking the truth in love"
are key focuses. The
teachings incorporate THE CIRCLES TEACHING which is on video.
We come together in these groups to dig into
issues and problems that we could not resolve any other
way. It is only by learning and knowing and accepting
and believing who we are in Christ as a child and spirit-man
son of God, after the Firstborn of many brethren, that we
can understand "Who We REALLY Are", that we can
truly be freed from the negative things we don’t want to
do. |
