*INTRODUCTION*
In the Bible, the number three is very important.
Jesus raised three people from the dead:
Jairus’ daughter (Mark 5:22-24;35-42) , Lazarus
(John 11:38-44), and the widow’s son
(Luke 7:12-15).
Three
On the Cross, the sign above Jesus’ head
(naming the “offense” he was guilty of) was written
in three languages (John 19:19-20), indicating
the fullness of man’s rejection of the Messiah.
Jesus was raised on the third day (Luke13:32).
As members of the human race, created in
the image of God, we have three dimensions:
the spirit (God-consciousness), the soul (selfconsciousness),
and the body (world consciousness),
in 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
Together, these
three dimensions form the instrument through
which Jesus performs it all (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
Everyone has problems.
Yet, a person who is
always worn down by problems often lives in
only two dimensions—the soul and the body—
in his relationship with God.
The human spirit,
which is the God-conscious dimension, is designed
to bring in light from the Word of God
through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit
(Psalm 119:130).
If we are not functioning in the
truth of the Word of God stored in the human
spirit, God’s light will not enter in, no matter
how much we go to church.
There two kinds of Christians around today:
those who do not see heat when it comes and
those who do not see good when it comes
(Jeremiah 17:5-8).
We are talking about positive
Spirit-filled Christians versus negative thinkers.
The difference is that when the Word of God enters
into Spirit-filled believers, they experience
divine good and do not see the “heat” of adversity.
They allow the Word of God to quicken
their human spirit, engaging the third dimension
of Christian living.
How can you live in the third dimension and
go from being a person who doesn’t see good
when it comes to a person who doesn’t see heat
when it comes?
This booklet will show you how.
*Chapter One*
/THE SPIRIT BEARS WITNESS/
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man
that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm,
and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
“For he shall be like the heath in the desert,
and shall not see when good cometh; but shall
inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a
salt land and not inhabited.
“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD,
and whose hope the LORD is.
“For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the
river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but
her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful
in the year of drought, neither shall cease from
