In being a New Testament Christian, we can overcome the forces of evil because the powers of sin can not reign (rule) in our mortal bodies. "He that overcometh (the powers of Satan), and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers; even as I received of my Father." Revelation 2:26-27 Therefore, since we can overcome the forces of evil, this greatly magnifies the total being of our own divine nature of life because we can win the victory over our Adversary who is Satan. I am Charles Burke. Let me explain the Divine Powers of God and the Divine Powers of Christ in matters of our own creation and redemption of life so that we can learn more about the greatness of our own divine nature of life.
BEING OMNIPOTENT I. We have been created so that we can become a powerful person because God, who is our Creator, is Omnipotent. "I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." Revelation 19:6 Now, since God is Omnipotent, this greatly magnifies the whole being of our own creation of life because God created us so that we could have limited excess to the Omnipotent Powers of God. This is why God helps us to overcome the forces of evil. The Lord our God said, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee: yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Therefore, if we want to learn more about the greatness of our own creation of life, we should know that God created us so that we could have limited excess to the Omnipotent Powers of God because God is Omnipotent. This means that in heaven we will become all that God is the way of Personage, Power, Nature and Attributes of life because we are the heirs of God. The Bible says, "We are the heirs of God." Romans 8:16-17 II. We have been redeemed so that we can become a powerful person because Christ, who is our Redeemer, is Omnipotent. "All power in given unto me in heaven and earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:18-20 Now, since Christ is Omnipotent, this highly amplifies all aspects of our own redemption of because Christ redeemed us so that so that we could have limited excess to the Omnipotent Powers of Christ. This is why Christ help us to overcome the powers of sin. Paul said, "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13 Therefore, if we desire to learn more about the greatness of our own redemption of life, we should realize that Christ redeemed us so that we could have limited excess to the Omnipotent Powers of Christ because Christ is Omnipotent. This signifies that in heaven we will become all that Christ is the way of Personage, Power, Nature and Attributes of life because we are joint-heirs (equal heirs) with Christ. The Bible says, "We are joint-heirs with Christ." Romans 8:16-17 III. Who are the Personsthat possess the Omnipotent Powers of God and the Omnipotent Powers of Christ in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life? A. The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Omnipotent Powers of God in reference to Their Own Individual Nature of life because God in being the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit created our own divine nature of life free of sin. This is why God said, "Let us (who are the Persons that are called God) make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image" (of life). John said concerning those three Persons who equally are called God in being our Creator, "For there are three (Persons) that bear record (of our creation) in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit: and these three (Persons) are one" (equal) in power, rule authority because They equally possess the same Personage, Powers, Nature and Attributes of the one and only God in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life. Genesis 1:26-27, 1 John 5:7 B. The Father and the Son Relationship which exist between God and Christ is the being of a Father-head Figure and an Offspring Status Relationship instead of being two Persons because those three God-Persons, who are called the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit in being our Creator, equally made Themselves to work in the Name of Christ in being called the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit so that They could be our Redeemer. This is why, "The Lord (God) said unto my Lord (Christ), sit thou on my right hand, until I make the foes thy footstool. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that the Lord God (who was the being of the Father and the Holy Spirit in heaven) hath made that same Jesus (who was the Incarnated Word upon the earth), whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." Jesus (who was made both Lord and Christ in being our Redeemer) said concerning those three Persons who equally would be called Christ in matters of our own redemption of life, "Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:34-36, Matthew 28:18-20 C. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Omnipotent Powers of Christ in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life because Christ in being the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit redeemed our own divine nature of life from the guilt of sin. This is why we in being an alien sinner must be baptized into Christ for the remission of our sins by being baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit so that we can become a New Testament Christian. Our Lord said concerning those three Persons who equally would be called Christ in being our Redeemer, "Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Matthew 28:18-20, Galatians 3:27 IV. What does the Lord require of our own created and redeemed nature of life? Now, we must know the Omnipotent Powers of God and the Omnipotent Powers of Christ in reference to our own creation and redemption of life so that we can become like those three Persons who created and redeemed our own immortality of life. "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever." Jude 24-25 Therefore, if we obey the commandments, we will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally possess the Omnipotent Powers of God and the Omnipotent Powers of Christ in matters of Their Own Individual Nature of life because in heaven we will equally possess Their Omnipotent Powers of life in reference to Our Own Individual Being of life. "He that overcometh (the powers of Satan), and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers; even as I received of my Father." Revelation 2:26-27
BEING OMNISCIENT I. We have been created so that we can become a knowable person because God, who is our Creator, is Omniscient. "Great is the Lord our God, and of great power, His understanding is infinite." Psalms 147:5 Now, since God is Omniscient, this greatly magnifies the whole being of our own creation of life because God created us so that we could have limited to the Omniscient Powers of God. This is why God has given unto us all things that pertains unto life and godliness. "God according as his divine power hath give unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue." 2 Peter 1:3 Therefore, if we want to learn more about the greatness of our own creation of life, we must know that God created us so that we could have limited excess to the Omniscient Powers of God because God is Omniscient. This means that in heaven we will become all that God is the way of Personage, Power, Nature and Attributes of life because we are the heirs of God. The Bible says, "We are the heirs of God." Romans 8:16-17 II. We have been redeemed so that we can become a knowable person because Christ, who is our Redeemer, is Omniscient. "In whom (Christ) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:3 Now, since Christ is Omniscient, this highly amplifies all aspects of our own divine nature of life because Christ redeemed us so that we could have limited excess to the Omniscient Powers of Christ. This is why our Lord brought unto us the truth of God. Jesus said, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31-32 Therefore, if we want to learn more about the greatness of our own redemption of life, we should realized that Christ redeemed us so that we could have limited excess to the Omniscient Powers of Christ because Christ is Omniscient. This signifies that in heaven we will become all that Christ is the way of Personage, Power, Nature and Attributes of life because we are joint-heirs (equal heirs) with Christ. The Bible says, "We are joint-heirs with Christ." Romans 8:16-17 III. Who are the Personsthat possess the Omniscient Powers of God and the Omniscient Powers of Christ in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life? A. The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Omniscient Powers of God in reference to Their Own Individual Nature of life because God in being the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit created our own divine nature of life free of sin. This is why God said, "Let us (who are the Persons that are called God) make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image" (of life). John said concerning those three Persons who equally are called God in being our Creator, "For there are three (Persons) that bear record (of our creation) in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit: and these three (Persons) are one" (equal) in power, rule authority because They equally possess the same Personage, Powers, Nature and Attributes of the one and only God in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life. Genesis 1:26-27, 1 John 5:7 B. The Father and the Son Relationship which exist between God and Christ is the being of a Father-head Figure and an Offspring Status Relationship instead of being two Persons because those three God-Persons, who are called the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit in being our Creator, equally made Themselves to work in the Name of Christ in being called the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit so that They could be our Redeemer. This is why, "The Lord (God) said unto my Lord (Christ), sit thou on my right hand, until I make the foes thy footstool. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that the Lord God (who was the being of the Father and the Holy Spirit in heaven) hath made that same Jesus (who was the Incarnated Word upon the earth), whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." Jesus (who was made both Lord and Christ in being our Redeemer) said concerning those three Persons who equally would be called Christ in matters of our own redemption of life, "Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:34-36, Matthew 28:18-20 C. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Omniscient Powers of Christ in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life because Christ in being the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit redeemed our own divine nature of life from the guilt of sin. This is why we in being an alien sinner must be baptized into Christ for the remission of our sins by being baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit so that we can become a New Testament Christian. Our Lord said concerning those three Persons who equally would be called Christ in being our Redeemer, "Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Matthew 28:18-20, Galatians 3:27 IV. What does the Lord require of our own created and redeemed nature of life? Now, we must learn more about the Omniscient Powers of God and the Omniscient Powers of Christ in matters of our own creation and redemption of life so that we can become like those three Persons who created and redeemed our own immortality of life. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Therefore, if we obey the commandments, we will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally possess the Omniscient Powers of God and the Omniscient Powers of Christ in matters of Their Own Individual Nature of life because in heaven we will equally possess Their Omniscient Powers of life in reference to Our Own Individual Being of life. "If we suffer, we shall also reign (rule) with him (the Lord our God). If we deny him, he also will deny us." 2 Timothy 2:12
BEING OMNIPRESENT I. We have been created so that we can have Spiritual Fellowship with God because God, who is our Creator, is Omnipresent. "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my behold in sheol, behold, thou art there. If I take thy winds of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea, Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand, shall hold me. Psalms 139:7-10 Now, since God is Omnipresent, this greatly magnifies the
whole being of our creation of life because God created us so that we could
have Divine Fellowship with Him in a Spiritual Way. This is why God dwells
in us. "And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? Ye are the
temple of the living God; As God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk
in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." 2 Corinthians
6:16
II. We have been redeemed so that we can have Spiritual Fellowship with Christ because Christ, who is our Redeemer, is Omnipresent. "Where two or three are gathered together in my name (the Name of Christ), there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20 Now, since Christ is Omnipresent, this highly amplifies all aspects of our own redemption of life because Christ redeemed us so that we could have Divine Fellowship with Him in a Spiritual Way. This is why Christ dwell in us. "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,w ho loved me, and gave himself for me.". Galatians 2:20 Therefore, if we desire to learn more about the greatness of our own redemption of life, we should know that Christ dwells in us in a Spiritual Way because Christ is Omnipresent. This signifies that in heaven we will become all that Christ is the way of Personage, Power, Nature and Attributes of life because we are joint-heirs (equal heirs) with Christ. The Bible says, "We are joint-heirs with Christ." Romans 8:16-17 III. Who are the Personsthat possess the Omnipresent Powersof God and the Omnipresent Powers of Christ in reference to Their Own Individual Being of life? A. The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Omnipresent Powers of God in reference to Their Own Individual Nature of life because God in being the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit created our own divine nature of life free of sin. This is why God said, "Let us (who are the Persons that are called God) make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image" (of life). John said concerning those three Persons who equally are called God in being our Creator, "For there are three (Persons) that bear record (of our creation) in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit: and these three (Persons) are one" (equal) in power, rule authority because They equally possess the same Personage, Powers, Nature and Attributes of the one and only God in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life. Genesis 1:26-27, 1 John 5:7 B. The Father and the Son Relationship which exist between God and Christ is the being of a Father-head Figure and an Offspring Status Relationship instead of being two Persons because those three God-Persons, who are called the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit in being our Creator, equally made Themselves to work in the Name of Christ in being called the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit so that They could be our Redeemer. This is why, "The Lord (God) said unto my Lord (Christ), sit thou on my right hand, until I make the foes thy footstool. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that the Lord God (who was the being of the Father and the Holy Spirit in heaven) hath made that same Jesus (who was the Incarnated Word upon the earth), whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." Jesus (who was made both Lord and Christ in being our Redeemer) said concerning those three Persons who equally would be called Christ in matters of our own redemption of life, "Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:34-36, Matthew 28:18-20 C. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Omnipresent Powers of Christ in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life because Christ in being the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit redeemed our own divine nature of life from the guilt of sin. This is why we in being an alien sinner must be baptized into Christ for the remission of our sins by being baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit so that we can become a New Testament Christian. Our Lord said concerning those three Persons who would be called Christ in being our Redeemer, "Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Matthew 28:18-20, Galatians 3:27 IV. What does the Lord require of our own created and redeemed nature of life? Now, we must understand the Omnipresent Powers of God and the Omnipresent Powers of Christ in reference to our own creation and redemption of life so that we can become like those three Persons who created and redeemed our own immortality of life. "For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith: that ye, being rooted and grounded in love." Philippians 3:13, Ephesians 3:17 Therefore, if we keep the commandments, we will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally possess the Omnipresent Powers of God and the Omnipresent Powers of Christ in matters of Their Own Individual Nature of life because in heaven we will equally possess Their Omnipresent Powers of life in reference to Our Own Individual Being of life. "To him that overcometh (the forces of evil) will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcome, and an set down with my Father in his throne." Revelation 3:21
THE CONCLUSION I. The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit are the three Persons who equally possess the Divine Powers of God in matters of Their Own Individual Being of life because God in being the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit created our own divine nature of life free of sin. II. The Father and the Son Relationship which exist between God and Christ is the being of a Father-head Figure and an Offspring Status Relationship instead of being two Persons because those three God-Persons, who are called the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit in being our Creator, equally made Themselves to work in the Name of Christ in being called the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit so that They could be our Redeemer. III. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the three Personswho equally possess the Divine Powers of Christ in reference to Their Own Individual Nature of life because Christ in being the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit redeemed our own divine nature of life from the guilt of sin. IV. God and Christ are the two Divine Names in which three Persons who equally are working in matters of our own creation and redemption of life because we have been created and redeemed by three equal Persons who are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer so that in that world which is to come we can become equal (having power, rule and authority) with Them. A. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Spiritual Personage of life which will be a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit in matters of Our Own Individual Nature of life. "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is sown a nature body, it is raised a spiritual body, There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. Who (our Lord) shall change our vile body (our fleshly body), that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body (His Spiritual Body), according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. And as we have borne the image of the earthy (the earthy man who possesses a physical body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (the Spiritual Person who has a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit). 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 1 Corinthians 15:44, Philippians 3:21,1 Corinthians 15:49 B. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Divine Powers of life in reference to Our Own Individual Being of life. "If we suffer, we shall also reign (rule) with him (the Lord our God). If we deny him, he also will deny us. To him that overcometh (the forces of evil) will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. And to him will I give power over the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And they shall reign (rule) for ever and ever" (over the powers of Satan). 2 Timothy 2:12, Revelation 3:21, Revelation 2:26-27, Revelation 22:5 C. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Divine Nature of life in matters of Our Own Individual Nature of life. "It is written in your law, I said, Ye (created men) are gods. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scriptures can not be broken. God has given unto us many 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. Him that overcometh (the powers of Satan) will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Of whom (God) the whole family in heaven and earth is named." John 10:34-35, 2 Peter 1:4, Revelation 3:12, Ephesians 3:15 D. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Divine Attributes of life in reference to Our Own Individual Being of life. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Be ye also merciful, as your Father also is merciful. He that overcometh (the powers of sin), the same shall be clothed in white raiment (having his Divine Attributes Perfected): and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angles. For there shall in no wise enter into it (the Heavenly City) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." Matthew 5:48, Luke 6:36, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 21:27 E. We will become equal (having power, rule and authority) with those three Persons who equally are called God and Christ in being our Creator and our Redeemer because in heaven we will possess Their Immortality of life in matters of Our Own Individual Nature of life. "Which in his times he shall shew who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords: Who only hath immortality (the Lord in all of His Power and Glory only has immortality, but the Lord has promised to give unto us those same Spiritual Blessings of Immortality), dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. To them (the Christians) who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life." 1 Timothy 6:15-16, Romans 2:7
THE APPLICATION I. We can't Scripturally make a centralized head (a ranked hierarchy) to rule in the New Testament Church because we are all equal in matters of our own creation and redemption of life. This is why the clergy and the laity class of people can not Scripturally exist in the New Testament Church because no one redeemed person can Scripturally rule a congregation of the Lord's Church. Therefore, we should not call any redeemed person: Reverend or Father because those are Divine Titles which belong unto the Lord our God (not redeemed man). "Holy and reverend is his name. Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." Psalms 111:9, Matthew 23:9 II. We can't Scripturally make any created person to be any greater than we are in a created way, nor can we Scripturally make any created person to be any less than we are in a created way because we are equal in matters of our own creation of life. This is why no one race of people is any greater than another race of people because we are all equal in reference to our own creation of life. Therefore, we should not respect any one person above another person because God is no respecter of persons. "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. If ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilt of all." Acts 10:34-35, James 2:9-10 III. We can't Scripturally make any redeemed person to be any greater than we are in a redeemed way, nor can we Scripturally make any redeemed person to be any less than we are in a redeemed way because we are all equal in matters of our own redemption of life. This means that no one priest, elder, or bishop has any more power, rule and authority than another priest, elder or bishop because no one redeemed man can Scripturally rule a congregation of the Lord's Church. Each congregation of the New Testament Church is autonomous (self-ruled) because of the equality of our own creation and redemption of life. Therefore, Christ (not a redeemed man) is the head of the Church. "Christ is the head (the ruler) of the church; and he is saviour of the body: the Church."
