Ecclesiastes 12:7 - Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

1 Corinthians 15:50 - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

John 11:25 - Y'shua said to her, "I AM the Resurrection and the Life: the one who believes in Me, even if he would die, he will live."

John 14:1-3 - Your heart must not be troubled: you must constantly believe in God and you must faithfully believe in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places: and if it were not so, would I tell you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I would go, then I shall prepare a place for you. I am coming again and I shall take you along with Me, so that where I AM you would also be. 

2 Corinthians 5:1-10 - For we know that if our earthly house we live in of this tent (earthly body) would be destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house (a resurrected body) in the heavens not made by human hands. For indeed we sigh in this our dwelling, longing to put on, for ourselves, the one (resurrected body) from heaven, then indeed, if we have been clothed we will not be found naked. For indeed we, who are in the tent, sigh, being oppressed, because of which we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that our mortal being would be swallowed up by life. And the One Who has worked this same thing in us is God, the One Who gave us the pledge of the Spirit. Therefore, since we are always confident, and knowing that when we are at home in the body we are getting away from the Lord: because we are walking by faith, not by sight: but we are confident; we even rather prefer to leave from the body and to be at home with the Lord. For this reason then we strive earnestly, whether when we are at home or when we are away, to be well pleasing to Him. For it is necessary for us all to be revealed before the judgment seat of the Messiah, so that each would receive the things according to what he accomplished with his body, whether good or evil.

Job 32:8-10, 38:36 - “But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. Therefore I say, Listen to me! I will also show my knowledge. ...Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or, who has given understanding to the heart?”  

"Knowledge unenlightened by the truth of God is dark knowledge. We may have a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D., but without the Lord all we have is dark information. It may help navigate us in the world of darkness, but by itself will never lead us to the truth. Apart from the revelation of the Spirit of God, none of us could ever find our way into the light. Darkly educated people are like those whom Paul described to his young protoge', Timothy, as 'always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.'" (2 Timothy 3:7)  --Myles Munroe "Rediscovering the Kingdom"

“The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord searching all the inward parts of the heart” (Proverbs 20:27), and is also referred to as the "inner man" or "hidden man of the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7 - Ephesians 3:15-19 - 1 Peter 3:4 - Ecclesiastes 12:7).  

God's plan is not for you to get into heaven, God's plan is for Him to live in you.

"Inspiration of the Almighty" is revealed by the Holy Spirit to "know" God and to "know the deep things of God"

Matthew 11:25-30 - At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things are delivered unto Me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 -  “But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 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. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”  

Philippians 2:5 - Let this mind be in you all, which was also in Christ Jesus...

"Because of our lack of understanding, we have always viewed the spiritual world as that which is to come. ...Jesus told the religionists in days gone by, the deep spiritual truths and yet they did not have ears to hear. They were down in the flesh realm and He was in the realm of the Spirit. The moment He said anything they could not analyze with their critical minds, they rejected rejected His statement and repudiated Him." --"Made Alive" - By  Charles S. Price

Isaiah 11:1-4 - And there will come forth a shoot out of the trunk of Jesse, and a Branch will grow out of his roots: (Matthew 2:23 - Revelation 5:5, 22:16) and the Spirit of the LORD will rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the reverence and awe of the LORD. (Revelation 5:6) And He will be filled with a Spirit of awesome reverence for the LORD. He will not judge after the sight of His eyes, nor decide after the hearing of His ears...

Isaiah 55:6-11 - You must seek the LORD* while He may be found, call to Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return to the LORD* and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways, says the LORD*. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My Ways higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there, but water the earth and make it bring forth and bud so it will give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so My word will go forth out of My mouth: it will not return to Me empty-handed,2 but it will accomplish that which I please and it will succeed wherever I send it.

Ephesians 3:14-19 - On this account I bend my knees to the Father, from Whom every family in the heavens and on the earth receives its name, so that He would give to you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened in power by His Spirit working in your inner man, to make the Messiah live in your hearts through faith, when you have been rooted and established in love, so that you would be able to seize, with all the consecrated ones, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of the Messiah that surpasses our knowledge, so that you would be filled with all the fullness of God.  

"You cannot be born a Christian. Jesus says 'you must be born again.'" (John 3:3-7) -- Greg Laurie  

Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.   

Romans 14:17 - For the Kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Luke 17:20-21 - And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.      

John 1:12-13 - And so many as did take Him, He gave them authority to become children of God, to those who believed in His name, they are not from blood and not from the desire of flesh and not from the will of man but were begotten from God.

John 3:3-7 - Y’shua answered and said to him, “Most definitely I say to you, unless someone would have been born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How is a man able to be born when he is in old age? Is he able to enter his mother’s womb and be born a second time?” Y’shua answered, “Most certainly I say to you, unless someone would have been born out of water and Spirit he is not able to enter the Kingdom of God. What has been born of the flesh is flesh, and what has been born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you to be born from above.’

John 4:14 - Whoever would drink from the water which I shall give him, will never thirst, but the water which I shall give him will become in him well water springing up into eternal life.”

John 7:37-39 - And on the final Sabbath day of the feast Y’shua stood and cried out saying, “If anyone would thirst he must continually come to Me and he must continually drink. The one who believes in Me, just as the Scripture said, rivers of living water will flow out from his inner being.” (Proverbs 10:11, 18:4, 20:5; Isaiah 58:11) And He said this about the Spirit, which those who believed in Him were about to take: for the Spirit was not yet given, because Y’shua was not yet glorified.

John 16:12-13 - I have yet many things to tell you, but you cannot bear them now. But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.

John 20:21-22 - Then said Jesus to them again, “Peace be unto you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Matthew 28:19 - Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...

There is only One Way to KNOW the Father - by KNOWING Jesus (John 14:9)

There is only One Way to KNOW Jesus - by KNOWING the WORD. (John 1:1,14)

There is only One Way to KNOW the WORD - by having the Spirit reveal the WORD. (1 Corinthians 2:10-16)

There is only One Way to HAVE the Spirit - Be born again of the Spirit (John 3:3-6)

There is only One Way to be filled with the Spirit - Baptism in the Holy Spirit (John 1:33 - Acts 19:2-7)

There is a difference between receiving the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit. There is only One Way to receive and have the Spirit: To be born again of the Spirit (John 3:3-7). There is only One Way to be filled with the Spirit: Baptism in the Holy Spirit (John 1:33 - Luke 24:49 - Acts 1:4-5 - Acts 2:4 - Acts 8:14-17 - Acts 10:44-47 - Acts 19:2-7)

Set Free

John 8:34-36 - Y’shua answered them, “I most definitely say to you that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. And the slave does not stay in the house forever, the son does stay forever. If therefore the Son would set you free, you will truly be free."

Romans 7:24-25 - Wretched man that I am: who will rescue me from this body of death? But thanks to God He will through Y’shua Messiah our Lord. So then this – on the one hand in my mind I am serving the Torah of God, but on the other hand in the flesh I serve the law of sin.

1 Peter 3:18 - Because Messiah also once suffered concerning sin, the righteous One on behalf of the unjust, so that He could bring you to God when He did indeed die in the flesh, but then was made alive by the Spirit:

Galatians 5:1 - Messiah set us free for the freedom from legalism: so you must stand firm and not be subjected again to a yoke of bondage.

Galatians 3:2-3 - Only this one thing I wish to learn from you: did you take the Spirit from works of legalism or from hearing in faith? In this way you are foolish, although you began in the Spirit, will you now be made complete in the flesh?

Galatians 4:6-9 -  And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

Empowered by the Holy Spirit 

Consider Peter who denied Christ after the Day of Pentecost: “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13)

Empowered By The Holy Spirit - By  Derek Prince - Have you ever considered the fact that Jesus needed the Holy Spirit, just as we do? Jesus never took credit for Himself, but attributed His whole ministry to the presence of the Holy Spirit. ...If Jesus needed the Holy Spirit, surely we do! Nothing can take His place.

     ...The first and most significant fact about the Holy Spirit is that He a Person, a very important Person! It is absolutely essential for believers to embrace this truth. He is not just an influence, a doctrine, or a theological abstraction. The Holy Spirit is a Person, as real as your own father or mother or son or daughter.

   ...What Is the Dove Looking For? As the Dove descended over the crowd of people that day, what was He looking for? The Lamb of God. What is the Dove looking for today? He is looking for the nature of the Lamb Jesus' nature. If we cultivate the nature of the Lamb, the Holy Spirit will find us, descend on us, and remain on us. There are three Scriptural characteristics of the nature of a lamb: purity, meekness (humility), and sacrifice, a life laid down. When the Holy Spirit finds that nature in a person, that is where He chooses to settle and remain. He does not approve of arrogance, self-seeking, boastfulness, or aggressiveness. Those are characteristics of the nature of the Beast.

Acts 2:38-39 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
