Title: A Living House August 18, 2019
Author: Robert Porter
Our bodies of flesh represents a living house where a living soul and a living spirit can go to habituate. This house is borne of man, and is temporal. Angelic and human souls are borne of God the Father, they are eternal. When it comes to living in your spiritual house, the principles are basically the same as a worldly house. Home is where the heart – one’s wife – is. Only death from the land of the living will do them part. In the spiritual realm, this means a living soul and spirit separated from that temporal place that had served as…“A Living House.”
In the beginning, when God created mankind, we were created male and female only to procreate. So when it comes to the soul, the soul, regardless of whether the house is male or female, the soul is the husband, the one that has authority over the house, and the angelic creature that is a companion to his soul is his wife. And they both can use that living house of flesh to speak to the world.
This was the main reason why many did not understand Jesus’ speech. For many times, it was the Lord God Almighty who is a Spirit, speaking from His holy Temple in the flesh and blood body of the Lord Jesus Christ. When a person is prophesying, it is not the person that is speaking, but the spirit speaking through that person. Even your spiritual wife that is a companion to your soul can use your house to speak, to prophesy.
The Spirit taught me that God’s 6th day creation of man was created soul and flesh to keep the covenant to multiply, unlike Adam who was created only a living soul, because God saw that the flesh did not profit the soul anything. And for every new living vessel born into the land of the living, around the time that vessel is weaned from its mother’s breasts, God the Father creates a living soul that is eternal, for that living house of flesh that is temporal. And after God’s little experiment with Adam didn’t workout, before he was kicked out of the garden, Adam was given a coat of skin as a covering for his soul to be like God’s 6th day creation, and now he and old Evie-babe could procreate.
When Adam’s living house died, his soul also died. For God had promised that in the day Adam ate (communicated) from the tree (angel) of the knowledge of good and evil, he would die:
“And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.” (Genesis 5:5, KJV).
So, if a thousand years is like a day in the eyes of God, and all the days that Adam lived combined when he was naked in the garden and then clothed as that 6th creation of man when he was kicked out of the garden, were nine hundred and thirty years, then Adam died right before the stroke of midnight. And his soul returned back to the dust from whence God created it.
It has been said that the eyes are the windows into our souls. This is true. But the mind is the doorway into our souls. If you should open the door for thoughts that are contrary to the will of God, your soul is not going to be fed properly. And your soul cannot be fed with any fruit of the Spirit, unless you have first been born again of the Spirit. So open the doorway of your mind to let Jesus in, so that both God and Jesus can feed your heart and soul with the living bread that comes from the Spirit.
I was in the Kroger supermarket the other day, and had a conversation with a guy in line with me at the deli-counter. Only one person was working and was in the midst of preparing a chicken to be roasted. The gentleman made a comment about patience, and how people are becoming increasingly impatient. I happened to make eye contact before responding, and was surprised to see a light. Unlike the time I was robbed at gunpoint in a public park and had my car stolen at the same time.
When the guy robbing me kept shouting over and over “I aught to shoot your ass,” I happened to look in his eyes and all I saw was darkness. The eyes are the windows into the soul. If a person has a spirit of light, that person will be a good person. But:
“If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matthew 6:23, KJV).
We were in the midst of a good conversation when the deli-clerk returned with my order. I suggested as I was leaving that “we have control over the thoughts that will enter our mind. And where your thoughts go, your ass will follow.” I didn’t have time to expound on that, for I had shopping to do. But the mind is the gateway into our souls. You can shut the door on any thought that you don’t like, especially to thoughts that are contrary to the will of God.
“When it comes to your living house,” the Spirit chimed in with every intent to help me understand while I was writing this story, “your heart is a true and faithful witness unto your soul. Your heart is how God knows whether you have faith in Him or not. Whether you believe that Jesus was His Son; that He allowed Jesus to sacrifice His life, so that others might have life. While your house is alive, make every effort to understand this heart from God’s Kingdom that has been given to you as a companion to your soul for good, never for evil. For God knew that no man’s house would be complete without a beautiful wife to share it with,” shared the Spirit.
The devil comes but to steal your joy, to destroy your life, and to kill your ass. He has no love for you. He is a great deceiver. When God came to the body of Christ, He made this clear:
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10, KJV).
All God ever wanted was Life for His creation in man, which is why that 6th day creation was given a simple commandment to be fruitful, by following His holy Spirit of truth and righteousness, so that His enemy the devil would not deceive His creation from being faithful to Him. God has given us another chance to have this life that He wanted from His 6th day creation, by allowing His Son to sacrifice His life on the cross, if only we believe and accept the Lord Jesus Christ into our hearts and souls as our personal Lord and Savior.
God made it clear before He returned to the Father, that the Life was in the blood now. In the blood of the Lamb. That Jesus would sacrifice His life for the life of the world. Jesus sacrificed that living house of flesh, but His soul that was created by our heavenly Father, and His beautiful precious heart in the angel Emmanuel, lived on.
Jesus left us an example with His death, resurrection from the dead, and ascension to be on high, of what to expect after our living house of flesh dies:
“And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.” (Luke 20:34-36, KJV).
Jesus preached to the dead in those few days He spent in the land of the dead. Those souls that understood what He was throwing down also got resurrection life with Jesus:
“And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” (Matthew 27:52-53, KJV).
When it comes to this place of death our souls are resurrected from:
“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43, KJV), can’t be all bad, else Jesus would not have called it paradise.
When Jesus died on the cross, only His flesh died, His soul and His wife from the days of His youth, the angel Emmanuel, lived on:
“And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.” (Luke 23:46, KJV).
Jesus’ spirit Emmanuel returned back under the authority of the Father, for Jesus had a new Bride now, Christ the Holy Spirit.
Our bodies of flesh represents a place where two living souls, one being human and the other angelic, go to live while we are alive in the land of the living. When we die, we become like Adam before he was kicked out of the garden, just a living soul, and we become like the angels when we are resurrected from the dead. Our souls are male in name only, and the angels that are companions to our souls are female in name only. We may not be together 24/7, but we come together to live as one in our living houses of flesh.
“Only death from the land of the living will do you part,” the Spirit butted in once again. For I was so trying to write this story on my own. “But what is there to fear concerning death, knowing that after the resurrection from the dead, you will be in the Presence of God for all eternity in that world to come. So what is there to fear?” the Spirit continued unabated. “And as long as you should live in the land of the living, Mr. Robert, not only love your wife Elijah that is a companion to your soul, love and recognize your body of flesh for what it is…A Living House.”
