There is the seed
And that within the seed
Which is greater
There is the soul
And that within the soul
Which is greater
Within the seed is the forest
Within the soul is the Spirit
Which is greater
The least is the greatest
They are the same
The only difference is time
In the beginning
There was God
And the spirit of God
There was heaven
And earth
There was Adam
And Eve
Each is a witness
Of the other
St. John 8:18
“I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.”
The mind is active
While the spirit sleeps
But when the spirit
Awakens
The mind is put to rest
It is like the dawn
Of a new day
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
Our physical body
Did not descend
Directly from God
But our spirit did
If it is so that you
Have received
The spirit of God
I Corinth 2:2
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God…”
Ephesians 4:10
“He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.”
We do not
Need things
We need
Each other
Things cannot
Love us back
I John 2:15
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.”
I John 4:19
“We love him, because he first loved us.”
Are we what we eat
Or what eats us
Are we in the Spirit
Or is the Spirit in us
Do we become
What overcomes us
There is one
Greater than us
Let us be consumed
By that
We are consumers
Of the Word of God
We take in the Word
By reading the Bible
Feasting on his flesh
And drinking his blood
It is a never ending well
Of nourishment
For our soul
St. John 6:56
“He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I in him.”
Revelation 10:10-11
“And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and at it up…and he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many people, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
It was the power
Of the Holy Spirit
Sent from God
To his son
That gave him
The authority
To preach
The word of God
St. Luke 4:16
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor…”
St. John 1:32
“I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode on him.”
We are called
Out of the world
Into the Spirit
When the unholy
Enters the holy
It is made holy
I Thessalonians 4:7
“For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.”
Romans 8:9
“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit…”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
I dwell
On the Lord
All day long
Like a bird
On a tree
I have built
My house
On the Word
Of God
St. John 1:32
“I saw the Spirit descending from heaven, like a dove, and it abode upon him.”
We are spiritual
Born into a physical body
The incorruptible
Born into the corruptible
The house can be corrupted
But not the spirit
That dwells in the house
I Peter 1:23
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides forever.”
