JESUS CHRIST:

Born To Testify To The Truth

John 18: 37 Pilate said to Him, Then You are a King? Jesus answered, You say it! [You speak correctly!] For I am a King. [Certainly I am a King!] This is why I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is of the Truth [who is a friend of the Truth, who belongs to the Truth] hears and listens to My voice. 38 Pilate said to Him, What is Truth? On saying this he went out to the Jews again and told them, I find no fault in Him. (emphasis mine, amplified) One of the many Biblical truths, that has impacted my life, transformed lives, shaped cultures and influenced nations, is what Jesus reveals in His discussion with Pilate. He revealed why He came into the world; to testify to the Truth. In other words, His life in every aspect bore witness to the Truth; it points people to a way of life that is founded, defined and expressed from the Truth.

WHAT IS TRUTH? The late Dr Myles Munroe defines “Truth,” as “God’s original Idea. That is, Truth reveals God’s original idea for how life is meant to function. This would range from identity, sexuality, relationships, finances, education, family etc. The reality confronting our world today, points to the fact that a person or a nation can either be living a lie or living the Truth.1 Are you living a lie or living out the Truth?

WHO IS THE TRUTH? Truth is a person; King Jesus-the anointed messiah. To know the Truth, humans are first

and foremost, to have a relationship with Him. Jesus gives credence to the reality that He is the Truth. In John 14: 6, "Jesus said to him (Thomas), I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. (emphasis mine, amplified) As the Word Who became Flesh (see John 1:14), walked the earth, people for the first time could see the Word of God lived out in everyday life.

They could see God’s character and heart displayed in everyday circumstances. They saw God's only Son living in unity with Him, through dependence in prayer and a life of obedience.2

DO YOU KNOW HIM? Knowing who Jesus is changes the way we do business. The world is not just looking for people who profess to be Christians, but people who are true disciples of Christ and living out the Truth. Who is Jesus Christ to you? In fact, Jesus had to ask His disciples this crucial question as He went about revealing His Father's kingdom with signs, miracles and wonders.

Jesus asked His disciples, Who do people say that I am (see John 8:27, emphasis mine)?

His disciples answered Him saying, "John the Baptist; and others [say], Elijah; but others, one of the prophets (see John 8:28, amplified).

Jesus asked these questions because He wanted to find out and make sure His disciples had a deep and personal conviction of Who He was. And He asked them again, "But who

do you yourselves say that I am? Peter replied to Him, You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). (see John 8:29, amplified, emphasis mine).

Yes! Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Anointed one. He is the King of Kings, born to testify and bear witness to the Truth. He is the gateway for the sheep and good Shepherd who leads His sheep to find green pasture (see John 10:1-16). He is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace (see Isa. 9:6). He is the Son of God, the Savior of the Word and fulfilled Bible prophecy. He is the Word that was with God in the beginning through whom all things were made (see John1:1-3).

He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and only through Him, will we know the Father, access His presence, enjoy abundant life, and discover the way to enjoying kingdom life.

DO YOU KNOW HIM OR ONLY KNOW ABOUT HIM?

HAVE FAITH and

Praise God for Your Victory The bible clearly stated that without FAITH, it is impossible to please God. It also says our salvation is tied to our FAITH, for by grace are we saved through FAITH. Therefore, FAITH is very vital for us as believers of Christ as we run this race on this planet earth. Often we are faced with situations so scary that we faint and give up, but with FAITH you will overcome every situation. I pray that the Lord will use this message on FAITH to encourage someone somewhere who is passing through a difficult time in life, business, family, health or any other aspect of this life. Are you facing a health situation and the doctors have pronounced you hopeless? Are you mature to get married and no suitor is coming your way and saying hello to you? Is your business falling apart and there seems to be no way out? Is your marriage experiencing some commotion and confusion and you weep all day and night? Is your womb refusing to incubate a baby after some or many years of marriage like Sarah? Are you confused about the right way to take about your dreams and visions? I bring you Good News. There is a way out. That way is the way of FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ.

A time came in the life of the Disciples, when they faced the reality of the Christian journey and they had no choice but to cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ to increase their FAITH (Luke 17: 5). I want us to take a critical look on one subject of FAITH in the Bible concerning the woman with the issue of blood for twelve

years in the Book of Matthew 9:20, “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.”

This woman heard about Jesus Christ and made her way through the crowd and said to herself that if she could but touch the helm of Jesus' garment, her problems of over twelve years which had taken all her money in the hands of doctors, shall be a forgotten matter. She refused to GIVE UP but pressed through the crowd and touched the helm of Jesus' garment by FAITH and she was healed instantly.

Let me share one personal and recent testimony with you. My daughter who lives and work at Aba in Abia State took ill and lost so much blood to the extent that the doctor told her “You are passing out.”

When she told me what the doctor said over the phone, I encouraged her to accept the blood transfusion as recommended by the doctors, but she refused to accept any blood from a blood bank and she held on to her FAITH and I too was challenged to join her in her FAITH. I know the LORD made it possible, and she did not pass out as predicted by the doctor. To be honest with you, I was scared, but I had no choice but to ask the LORD to increase my FAITH and he did and my daughter is alive today.

again. Remember; it is not over until you laugh.

Trust in the Lord and He will see you through those challenges of life that are threatening you right now. Whether it is a blood issue, dry bones, blind eyes, unfruitful womb or lack of suitors, the LORD is right beside you now to help you out of that situation. Please bow your head in prayer and say this simple prayer.

Dear Lord, I believe that you will help me out of these challenges {mention the challenge or challenges} facing me right now. Please help my unbelief and save me in Jesus’ Name I pray, amen.

Did you say that prayer? If yes, your prayers have been answered. Congratulations and begin to praise God for your victory

Deal with your fear, doubt and unbelief and FAITH in the Lord Jesus will make you laugh

THE JOURNEY OF HAPPINESS That Leads to Peace The journey of happiness is the process that leads to peace. It implies accepting change and facing something new to freely express our identity and personality, implicitly free from script limits, lies, manipulations, constraints, psychological games and emotional blackmails.

However, when the individual accepts the Book of Life that God has written for him since eternity, his change is not and cannot be entirely immediate. It is an ongoing process that respects the person who has adapted to his own choices, old, but by now tested and safe in their strategic outcome.

When we accept God and decide to confide in His plan, the Lord does not arrive with some weed-killer to destroy in an instant everything that our lives had been until then. Rather, He leads us to decide to change accompanying us in the development of the awareness of who we are and how we function (identity and personality). We can leave behind only what we gradually become aware of. In other words, God respects the person’s natural way of functioning and to begin with leads us to know who we really are.

Jesus Himself told us that this is His way of doing things. The well-known parable of the weeds (Matthew 13:24-30, 3643) recounts how the enemy, namely the devil, sows weeds in the field where the Lord has sown wheat. He makes the harmful plants grow amid the useful and

beneficial ones, in order to contaminate the good seed and infest the field which in the parable represents the world. Sowing weeds in the wheat field of a neighbor means entirely destroying every source of subsistence. Until the ear of wheat is ripe, the weed, namely darnel, can hardly be distinguished. Only then, can the two plants be distinguished and separated without damaging the good ones. Otherwise, as Jesus says in the parable, in pulling out the weeds, you may eradicate the wheat.

Jesus expressly refers the parable both to the fact that in the world the children of His kingdom and those of the evil one live together and to the “harvest” of men that shall be made at the end of the world. However, through it we can also grasp God’s and the devil’s way of working regarding the concept of maturation. And what follows is my reflection on the point in question and the topic of peace in general.

The devil tries to stifle and infest what God has already done for the good of mankind.

He proposes to man things similar to those proposed by God, but, of course, never the same. This image illustrates his efforts to seep lies into the truth and mix the two so that they are no longer distinguishable, thereby infesting and stifling the truth. This is the peace that the world gives.

The parable teaches us that until the wheat manifests its identity, it cannot be separated from the weeds. The choice of the good plant is tied to the recognition

THY KINGDOM CARRIERS December 2015 -March 2016

of its identity. Separation from lies is tied to identity awareness.

Jesus is very careful in specifying that if you try and separate the seeds sown by God from those sown by the devil before the identity of the crops is clear, you run the risk of destroying the wheat as well.

The reference to the tangle of wheat and weeds as the product of lies is evident and God is patient. He waits for the wheat to be distinguishable based on its identity.

The parable is also useful regarding the juxtaposition between script life and autonomous life, between the Book of Life and the book of lies. God has prepared for us a life He has already known before we were born and offered it to us, so that we can choose it freely and live it. By infesting families and cultures, mixing truth with lies, hatred with love and good with evil, the devil induces man to feed on all these opposites, mistaking one for the other and vice versa.

Thus, people choose a destructive script thinking that it is their real life and that in so doing they have peace. When as adults they receive the news that the real life that God has thought for them is “naturally” sown in their nature, that they can choose it autonomously, and that it is not the one they have lived until then, unfortunately the weeds have already been sown in them.

The script has already been worked out, the diabolical system has already been tested and offers safety because it is a show that has been performed for many years and fulfills its goal.

Here is where the battle begins and it is a process. It is a process of growth that leads to the conscious expression of the person’s identity. When the individual reaches this awareness he is ready to decide to change, embrace the Book of Life and cut the weeds as he gradually gains awareness of what he had decided previously and which is no longer compatible with his new Life. Every change is the product of growth and maturation in the process of gaining awareness of one’s identity.

Once our identity is clear and distinct, recognizable, then we are ready to separate from the weeds.

Growth does not occur altogether in all areas of our lives. Step by step it will spread to every field, but it takes place where we are ready to be separated. It occurs like in concentric circles. This is why it takes patience. This is why we cannot expect to jump out of our script in a blink of an eye. We would run the risk of destroying ourselves and God respects us in this, accompanying us in our identification growth. As children, we have adapted to the hostile external environment, developing conjectures and survival strategies that have actually worked. By growing and following the Book of Life, today we have the ability to adapt to the new life. However, I repeat, it is a process, a journey during which the Lord’s goodness and faithfulness accompany us (Psalm 23, 6). It is a journey that leads to the peace that Jesus gives. It gets to the point that, if during this process we feel we are in danger or even threatened by the new life, we immediately re-activate the set of possible repetitive responses that we can

give, almost like a turn-key software that is operated when we do not want to run risks.

The individual can live God’s Life if, having received the Holy Spirit and growing, he lets himself be crafted as a person by Him, thus breaking free from the script, whilst becoming increasingly aware of his identity. We cannot, therefore, ascribe delays to God who, instead, waits patiently for us to be ready for everything He has planned for us.

The process of gaining awareness of our identity is actually a transformational process. By reflecting like in a mirror the nature of the Author of our identity, we are being changed by God, the Spirit, into His very image, from one degree of glory to the next, thus overcoming script limits and moving towards our real Life (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Every change has its strength and fulfillment in the power which stems from the identity of the person and his awareness of it. The guarantee of long-lasting success is only the action of the Spirit of the Lord who dwells in our spirit. It would be better never to have created a script. It would be better to always live in love, secure and trustful in the loving faithfulness of our parents, and the family and social and cultural settings we live in.

Based on what I have said so far, if this were so, there would be no scripts and everyone would lead a peaceful, happy, authentic, autonomous and intimate life with others without fear. It is not by chance that Jesus told His disciples that He

commanded them only one thing: that they take care (John 13:14) of each other and love one another as He had done to and with them (John 13:34-35; 15:12; 15:17)! This is how everybody else would recognize that their lives were different and would want to know more and have the same too. For Jesus, those who place their trust in Him have the power of witnessing that they come from Him and are living His life on this earth and that being everything recorded in the Book of Life.

FAITH:

Your Belief System The concept of faith refers to one’s belief system. This system governs your life even when you are not consciously thinking about what you will do or where you will go. This system may be termed your ‘auto-drive’ and it will greatly impact your life and the lives of those around you. Therefore, it is important to have a governing system that is OUT of this WORLD. In today’s world many are afraid to believe in themselves, church leaders, parents, the government, the economic system and even God. Personal experiences have taught me to be self-motivated in the cultivation and maturation of my belief system. My belief system was not obtained from mortal man, but it is an eternal system that upholds the temporal. It is the one thing that gives man the greatest credibility, far exceeding any institution.

There was once a young man who was placed in dire circumstances from youth; yet, at the age of thirty (30) he became the

Prime Minister of the very same country that was once his place of oppression.

His seemingly impossible state was being incarcerated for a crime he did not commit, but his possible end was becoming PrimeMinister. This possibility arose because of his Belief System.

“Whatever you believe will become your reality” As one transitions, it is imperative for them to hold firmly to their belief. For instance, despite being incarcerated for a crime he did not commit; many years ago, a man by the name of Joseph held firmly to his belief-system that later materialized into his freedom from imprisonment and led to promotion.

I implore you to delve into a system that will keep you amidst any circumstance. A system that is reliable and forever strong, a system that is out of the world you are in, yet it upholds the world around you. This system

is based on principles, truth, character and it operates via justice for all. This system is eternal with an eternal being as the Governor, Chief Executive and Creator of all. To state that this eternal being is supreme is foundational to living in this belief system called Faith.

If a solution to the chaos experienced in this world cannot be found in this world, the solution is therefore out of this world. It is hopeful to have faith in a system that is out of this world and governed by a superior power that is not motivated by anything in this world system. In fact, the Creator is capable and without favoritism to administer and execute justice in truth. This belief system has the credibility to govern man’s life.

“It is faith that you need; therefore, be and live in a world of Faith” Out of this world thinking: • Think POSSIBILITIES • Think DOABLE • Think WORKABLE • Think ACHIEVEABLE • Think YES I CAN • Think WON • Think REACHABLE • Think CREATIVE • Think AHEAD Inspiration is yours it’s inside of you!

The Message

KINGS AND PRIESTS:

the Dynamic Duo of this Generation I want to present you today with something that warrants at least some consideration from believers that is related to the Kingdom message that I firmly believe in.

Revelation 5:10 (KJV) And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

For as long as I can remember the body of Christ has been taught that they are simply servants. While this idea is not incorrect, it is however, incomplete. This incomplete idea of servant-hood has resulted in a devastating trail of unharnessed potential, wasted purpose, and powerless living. This is what Paul calls in 2 Timothy 3:5 "a form of godliness with no power".

The truth is we are not only servants but we are also kings and priests (Revelations 1:6). That is the complete teaching; we are "servant-kings/priests" or kings/priests who serve. As priests in the earth, we serve (worship/minister to) the King of Glory.

However, as kings in the earth, we serve (administer/deploy) our purposes to the world. In each capacity as king and priest we "serve" for the sole purpose of advancing and expanding God's Kingdom in the earth in our respective generations just as David did (Acts 13:36). However, we have focused so much on the "servant" part that "king/priest" dynamic has become a cliché in religious circles and a fantasy in humanistic circles when that is the dynamic that holds the power that the body of Christ is lacking.

However, I believe that we are coming to a place where the body of Christ is beginning to understand that Jesus died to reconcile those two functions of king and priest into one. That is why Scripture says we were made kings and priests. It is the understanding of this dynamic that I believe will cause this generation to experience the greatest glory manifestation. This is because a mental shift and awakening is taking place in believers around the world that is causing them to arise and see that the tangible display of God's glory is linked to the understanding that they have been made kings and priests.

It is this understanding of the king/priest dynamic coupled with the display of God’s glory that is necessary to draw unbelievers to the Kingdom. John 6:44 records Jesus saying that "no man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day."

Unbelievers cannot be drawn by the Spirit of God because they do not have the Spirit of God (Romans 8:9). They can only be drawn naturally by what they observe in authentic Spirit led believers that take the king/priest dynamic literally. When unbelievers see how authentic believers are living as Kingdom citizens that is what the Father uses to draw them to us. He uses the display of His glory (His character and nature on display) through believers to draw unbelievers ultimately to Himself. Isaiah 40:5 says that “the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.” People will be drawn to Him through us when they begin to see the glory

that God gives as a byproduct of us living and acting like kings and priests as opposed to us merely saying we are kings and priests.

The people that He has made to be the kings and priests of the earth – the body of Christ – will begin to manifest (Revelation 1:6, 5:10, 1 Peter 2:9) and begin to reign of every mountain in the earth as Scripture says. It will become so apparent that it cannot be ignored. I am one of those believers that has enough faith to believe that Revelation 11:15 is possible. That the kingdoms of this world can and will become the kingdoms of our Lord and King Jesus Christ. I just hope that there are others out there that are just as full of faith as I am.

The future is emerging, the vision is clear, and the Kingdom is on the move. It is time for the kings and priests of the earth to arise, take their stand, and reign!!

The “JESUS FAITH” Factor Wouldn’t it be great if we could speak with the same confidence that Jesus demonstrated during His earthly ministry?

To see the miracles and healings would do wonders for our faith if we could just speak like He spoke right? Well we can, and that’s the expectation! When man was created in God’s image in Genesis 1:26, we were made with the likeness to speak into existence what is conducive with the culture of the Kingdom. The dilemma however, is actually BELIEVING that He has entrusted that authority and right to us as His sons in the earth. Unfortunately, this same ability can produce negative results too, if we lack the faith to speak positively, and responsibly.

This means that our thought, conversation, and actions are a reflection of our current level of faith.

When Jesus walked the earth in body form, He was fully human like we are and fully God (Colossians 2:9). He became the new example of how and what a “son” should look like in earth. Therefore, Jesus never spoke irresponsibly, and only echoed what He saw or heard from the Father (John 5:19). This means that He had the utmost faith that what He was speaking came not from Himself, but from the Father. When we desire to operate in the “Jesus kind of faith”, we too must be so convinced that what we are saying is from the Father, while being conducive and consistent to His character throughout the Bible. This kind of faith is not just a “Jesus” faith, but a “son” faith. As sons of the Father, we should exhibit the same level of faith, in every area of our lives. This kind of demonstration of faith

is what pleases the Father, and matures us in our faith. This matured level of faith will transform us from the faith of a servant, to the confidence of a son.

As we move from existing to living, we must become consistently maturing in our faith.

We must move from a material seeking faith, to a Kingdom culture producing faith. Like Jesus, we too must be so firmly persuaded of our relationship with the Father, that we begin to speak what He says, when He says it. We must be willing to be in the world, but speak with the confidence of Heaven.

This kind of confidence will look like “Jesus faith,” but in fact, it is the level of faith He has enabled us to walk in. Got faith?

Pause On Purpose

THE MASTER SCIENTIST and His Science RELIGION VS SCIENCE All religions possess doctrines, creeds, rituals, practices, and regalia, which can be summed up in one word dogma. Religious dogma is what separates one religion from another. Dogma is also what makes specific religious groups distinct from even those religious affiliates, and or groups of similar beliefs. The relationship between science and religion has been one of accusation and contention. There are many people on both sides of the aisle, who argue that science and religion have nothing in common.

Science minded people say “religion is manmade, while science is expressed through scientific ideology.” However, some religious people contend that “science is man-made and religion is God made, and inspired.”

This argument will never end because of the entrenched ideologies of both schools of thought. The lack of willingness to hear, accept and respect the other won’t happen because the very existence of their respective beliefs are based on holding to their specific paradigms. But this is not the only area of contention and disagreement. Religion and Spirituality has had strong disagreements, if not stronger disagreements than those which exist between religion and science.

RELIGION VS SPIRITUALITY Religion and Spirituality differ because religion, once again, has specific dogma, which creates exclusivity, isolation, discrimination, and segregation. Spirituality opens to all based not on religious affiliation, but based on creation, awareness, and consciousness. Now, the issue of religion and spirituality has lately become more focused and pronounced.

Namely, because statistics show organized religion is losing its’ popularity, influence and platform in the United States and around the world. There are many different reasons cited for this trend but the facts, remains especially

12

|

among young people between ages 1925 (according to Barna Research Group) organized religion is becoming less accepted among almost all groups, but especially this one. This same trend of decrease also seems to be among older age groups, but with less pronounced decreases. However, research has also shown that spirituality between the 19-25 age groups has increased. This could be contributed to people looking for more inclusiveness, unity and commonality, and less on differences, which all religion focus on.

Still, there is the question between spirituality and science. Why is there contention there?

SPIRITUALITY VS SCIENCE The overall disagreement of suppositions of science and spirituality seem to be based on misunderstandings, a lack of communication and appreciation for the others contribution to humanity, and both factions vying for commercial dollars. There has been millions of dollars exchanging hands based on keeping the argument between these two schools going. The argument between these two schools of thought can be summed up by Deepka Chopra (pr- spirituality) and Leonard Mlodinow (pro-science) in their co-authored book called “War of the Worldviews Science vs Spirituality,” where Chopra says (page 6) “The spiritual hypothesis that was put forward thousands of years ago has three parts: 1. There is an unseen reality that is the source of all visible things.

2. This unseen reality is knowable through our own awareness.

3. Intelligence, creativity, and organizing power are embedded in the cosmos.”

While Mlodinow states Science bases everything on what’s called the scientific method, rather than on human bias or desires.

THY KINGDOM CARRIERS December 2015 -March 2016

This scientific deduction says that only that which can be observed can be validated. So, the question becomes whether the visible is all there is, or is there more? Spirituality says there is more, much more. Science seemingly says there’s nothing else, through the scientific method. Which one is correct? Which one is incorrect? Are they both incorrect, or are they both correct?

Spirituality’s doctrine is that science denies the existence of God. This is not correct; science says that the scientific method is unable to detect God, as well as it should because it’s not designed for that purpose. And science says that spirituality beliefs have no place in science, because God cannot be scientifically proven. This too is true because scientific method is designed to establish wholeness, orderliness, evolution, consciousness, and creativity. It was not created to specifically valid God, but how can you not trace any creation back to its creator?

Spirituality has, for the most part, accused science of lacking a clear expression on the existence of the Creator. This is like asking the creation to define its’ creator, which is done through its existence, actions and functions and nothing else. Humanity doesn’t have to ask a Corolla does Toyota exist, the existence, operation, and functionality of the Corolla validates that Toyota does exist. The purpose of science is to establish order, functionality, guidelines, rules, and lawfulness, not the existence of the Creator. Now, there must be an understanding that nothing comes into being of its own accord. There is always something or someone determining the purpose of the thing created. There is only one creator of a thing, and the thing’s functionality is ascribed and governed by rules determined by the creator of the thing. The rules determining functionality, are determined and created by the Creator of the thing, because the

JESUS IS THE SCIENCE

one who created the thing also determines the proper functioning of the thing. This predetermined functionality establishes the lawful functioning of said thing. Therefore, this predetermined functionality or rules are transmitted through what we call SCIENCE. The question then becomes where does this science come from?

THE CREATOR: THE MASTER SCIENTIST Once again there are some who reject science because they have been told that science rejects God. The truth of the matter is science does not reject God as it wasn’t created for such a task. Whenever, a thing is created it comes out of its creator. The thing is a part of the creator, and the creator is a part of the thing. They are inseparable! They are one! For example, Apple created the Mac computer.

The Mac computer came out of Apple. Apple isn’t separate from the Mac, the Mac is Apple and Apple is the Mac. Everything comes out of the Creator, thus the Hebrew name Elohim which means Creator. The Creator is the author of everything and everyone; and is referred

to by the attribute OMNISCIENCE. Which means Omni (all) –science (knowledge), therefore it means all knowledge. That’s right; science doesn’t mean anything evil, demonic, or devilish. Nothing nor no one is greater, or more knowledgeable than the Creator, because if it were, whatever it is, it would be God! Knowledge is the knowing of something, it’s a function of the MIND which is housed in the brain. Everything starts with a precept (a spark), which then becomes a concept (construct), and eventually an idea (a completed thought). Whenever there is an idea, there has to be a thought, because an idea is a thought. Wherever, there is a thought there has to be a mind. Wherever, there is a mind there is a Thinking Source. The Thinking Source gets a thought and is eventually formulated and articulated through words.

The words are verbal representations of the idea, which is the revealing of the mind of the Thinking Source. The words are as much of the Thinking Source as the Source is the words. There is no separation of the two, because the two are ONE!

The verbalization of an idea is transmitted through words. Words become the creative force of the natural world. Words give way to the legal right to release an idea on earth to be materialized or manifested. Words dictate, direct and create EVERYTHING. Now, the Creator of everything, and everyone established patterns through ideas which were verbalized by word(s), which would be spoken into existence. Once spoken, the Creator would release everything associated with that which was spoken to bring it to pass.

It is therefore, released in accordance with the established idea through the predetermined pattern of laws or truths, which in the purest form we could call the scientific method.

That’s why the Creator is the Master Scientist, because the scientific method in its perfect form can only come out of the Creator. And the words spoken, is the Word of God of the spoken Mind of the Creator. That is who Jesus is, the spoken mind of the Creator.

He spoke that He and the Creator (Father) are one. He said if you have seen me you have seen the Creator (Father). And finally he stated no man comes to the Creator but by the spoken mind of the Creator. Finally, remember you are the result of the Master Scientist.

YOU ARE A CURATIVE CHANGE AGENT THROUGH PURPOSE The Creator has always been attached to this natural world. The Creator has continually addressed the needs of this world. These needs are addressed through curative change agents divinely unleashed and is the direct answer to a specific need. This is what’s called PURPOSE. Every idea comes to earth fully equipped with purpose, resulting from the OMNISCIENCE (the all-knowing) of the Creator. You are not an accident, nor mistake. We are curative change agents in the world we live. The answer to what ails our community, culture and clan; doesn’t reside in the Creator, it resides in us. You are a part of the divine scientific method to advance dominion in earth. The question is do you really know what your purpose is?
