Man’s escape to the better world and existence

According to atheistic world-view consciousness is inside our head and is the result of brain activity inside our skull. When brain ends to function consciousness and ´´I´´are dead.

I remember a science fiction story where space travel was done in light speed electrically. Humans where copied in electric form and copy's sent to another planet. Plot of the story evolved when one bleeding heart officer didn't destroy the remaining ´´residue´´: original person. So the result was two identical persons to exist. Copy of the copy was later send back destroying the space travel for anyone didn’t like to be the disposable residue.

Within this concept of reality there is no purpose if you are or will be saint or criminal.

In Nazi Germany Hitler’s ´´Mein Kampf´´ and Nietzche's philosophy (´´No absolute values exist´´) were more popular than the Bible and the result was ultra nationalism, concentration camps (Holocaust) and eventual destruction of the ´´Third Reich´´(1933...1945).

Bible describes Christians to be salt of oceans/this world which ones prohibit it rotten by bringing in the concept of heaven and hell in afterlife. God created human body ´´of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.´´ (Genesis 2:7 The Amplified Bible) When ´´man goes to his everlasting home´´ and ´´the silver cord of life is snapped apart´´ ´´Then shall the dust (of which God made man’s body) return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God Who gave it´´(Ecclesiastes 12:5,6,7 The Amplified Bible)

So it matters which kind of soul is attached to the spirit which one returns to God.

36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life? 38 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:36...38 The World English Bible/Public Domain)

God does not receive the face of a man. Flesh ( spiritual body/human mindset) and blood (=soul= mind. will and emotions) can not inherit the realm of God. We are nevertheless provided because of His pity and love access inside the wedding garment which one is Jesus Christ with His life or soul including His love. His love is actually the ingredient which one makes the heaven heaven by curing our natural selfishness. God/Christ is love. ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. 15 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. 16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’ (Acts 22:14...16)

21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord (´´not the Lord but the name of the Lord´´) will be saved.’ (´´epikaleo´´= call for help, shout, pray) * (Acts 2:21) Concept and emphasis with ´´name´´( = personality of the Lord) or without is little bit different. It is to understand that in me in my flesh dwells nothing good. It is to to call His essence ( love, existence, personality, blood…) to be poured into me so that I don’t need to live anymore but Christ in me. 3 Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you. (Song of Solomon 1:3) The five dull/ignorant virgins didn't carry Christ’s name within them and were not recognised/ received by God. 7 “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. 8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. (Matthew 7:7,8) All the Christ’s earthly life and crucifixion was for us to be filled with His name, life and soul including His love to be acceptable to God.

Jesus did ask twice if Peter did love Him with ´´agape´´ love and once if Peter did love with´´filia´´ love (=affection) Peter answered every time: ´´I have affection on You.´´(John 21:15...17)

7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves (´´agapao´´) has been born of God and knows God. 8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love (´´agape´´). 9 By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only born† Son into the world that we might live through him. (1John 4:7...9)

I did once have a dream where I was in heaven with fellow believers and did love them continually with hundred times bigger love than what I have now. I had understanding that I had already been there for along time and that was my goal and purpose to stay in Christ. This love was much bigger than any eros or filio love here on earth.

I did wake up from that dream and this agape love did still linger within me say five, ten minutes and then did slowly evaporate away.

One of the thoughts after this vision or dream was that I must be extra careful to avoid being indifferent or negligent in my conduct´´4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, …´´ (Hebr.6:4,5)

I believe that demons don’t particularly like my writings for I have had about twenty encounters with them usually in human form from two feet to eight feet tall.

Once I did jump up from my bed to strangle the demon but when I put my fingers on it’s neck it disappeared. I was awake all the time and after. The other time ( when I was in a very low state without the life of Christ in my bed ) one not in human form came trough the closed door and did attack me. My spirit body within me did rise up and kick it causing it to explode into black smoke particles. (My feet of natural body were still intact but spirit’s feet rise up like separate feet.)

I once did read that Martin Luther had black spot on his wall: result of him casting the devil with ink-bottle.

As long as we have Holy Spirit we are stronger than them but they do their best to deceive us to believe that this is not the case.

I do remember when my wife with her friend ask God to send angel to remind her mother that she should receive Christ to be saved. Nevertheless when the angel appeared at the night she was afraid and had expelled the being away with broom. I think that generally God doesn't open our eyes to see the spirit world if you have not enough faith to handle it even this works as strong reminder of reality.

8 Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 5:8...11)

My escape from lifeless existence in desert, ´´from the world´´ is to collect manna: meditate and read the word and promises of God to be filled with Christ the Word. This is after the fall but normally God continually supports me, my peace and love and heavenly existence with His presence. ´´9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.´´ After surrender to/for Delilah miller Samson lost his hair and power ending grinding ``word of God´´ in prison. Gradually he got his hair and power back. That story was written for our guidance.

Couple of particular narratives come to my mind to remind us how to escape lifeless existence back to Christ's presence: 21 He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.” 22 Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 23 Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.” 24 The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.” (1 Kings 17:21...24)

We can evaluate if what we are hearing (sermons and teachings) or reading are of God: how much these will invigorate us.

32 When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed. 33 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh. 34 He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm. 35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 36 He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son”(,your life in God). (2 Kings 4:32...36)

Some times we need deeper treatment to get revived. It is to penetrate into the Word of God and speak(witness), see (understand) and act (altruistic, unselfish deeds) to adopt the mindset and flesh of those who are close to God, call the Name of the Lord. If we are serious God cant help Himself but will pour His Life back into us.

9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead. 10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.” (Acts 20:9,10)

Embracing somebody is like a mindset, life transfer. In marriage it is to start a new life and strengthen the couples union (to know each another). Earthly marriage is the symbol of heavenly spiritual marriage with the Lord. I think that laying of hands and embracing somebody both transfer life: good or bad. 16 Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.”

Eating the forbidden fruit is commonly understand not only by being spiritually radicalised by adopting wrong ´´religion´´, but physically embracing somebody outside marriage.
