*CONSCIOUSNESS (THE LIVING SOUL) AND GOD 4*

*Qualities of Spiritual Consciousness**

*Peace*

Peace is another characteristic of spiritual consciousness. In this world, we are faced with much turmoil, conflict, pain, disease, and suffering. Few live out life without passing through moments of stress and pain. But in the spiritual realms within, all is peace.
The reason we lack peace in this world is due to our ego and desires. The world offers countless temptations, distractions, and attractions. Our soul is overshadowed by our mind, which is attracted to the outer world. When it begins to desire things of this world that are temporary, it is headed for disappointment. Nothing material in this world is lasting. It is all transitory. Only the soul and God are eternal. The moment we pin our hopes on something perishable, we have set ourselves up for disappointment and pain when we lose it.
The only true peace is available when we rise to a level of spiritual consciousness. Then we enter a realm that knows no death, no suffering, and no pain. We find an eternal region of all joy and bliss. If we wish to experience true peace in our life, we need to look within ourselves. Peace begins within us - "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law - *Galatians 5:22-23*. To be continued ...

*CONSCIOUSNESS (THE LIVING SOUL) AND GOD 5*

*The Qualities of Spiritual Consciousness*

*Unity*

At our physical level, all we see are our physical differences. When we develop a spiritual consciousness, we experience that the same Light of God is within each person. We are all united at the level of soul.
When we reach that level of awareness, we start to see all living beings as one big family of the Creator. We no longer differentiate between people based on outer form and custom. We recognize that there is beauty in diversity. We start treating all people with love and respect, because we know at their very core is the same essence of which we are made - "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" - *Psalm 133:1*

*CONSCIOUSNESS (THE LIVING SOUL) AND GOD 3*
*Qualities of Spiritual Consciousness*

*All-Consciousness*

Another aspect of spiritual consciousness is that of all-consciousness or wisdom. God is all-knowing, all-aware. God created all creation and is fully aware of everyone and everything.
If we want to get a small glimpse of how this is possible, we need only look to our primitive technology today. We think we are very advanced, but it is just a small beginning for what humanity will develop in the future. If we look at the Internet, we find that all information is available to us by logging onto different sites. The server that hosts all the sites is a storehouse of all the information on all the sites. By logging on we access all the information we want. God is like a giant server that hosts all our individual souls or websites. Thus, all knowledge about us is known to God. God is also able to simultaneously know what is happening to each of us at every second at the same time. When we tap into that spiritual consciousness and merge into the ocean of God, we too have access to all-consciousness - "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" - *Jeremiah 33:3*

*Freedom from Fear*

Another aspect of spiritual consciousness is freedom from fear. What is it that most of us fear the most? Most people fear death. They think of death as the end of their existence. Little do people realize that death is just a transition from this physical world to another realm of existence. It is only by raising our consciousness to a spiritual level that we discover that we exist at the level of the soul even without the physical body. This human body is but a covering over the soul. If we can raise our consciousness, we can discover our true identity. By attaining spiritual consciousness, we too can become fearless -

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" - *Psalm 27:1*

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" - *Psalm 23:4*

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" - *1 Corinthians 15:55-57*

*CONSCIOUNESS (THE LIVING SOUL) AND GOD 1*
On this great planet lie deep, vast oceans with their cool refreshing waters, their tranquil scenery, and their hidden mysteries. People often go to the seashore to bathe in these waters or gaze upon their beauty.
There is another ocean, far greater than the physical waters of this earth. It is an ocean that is far more permanent than the seas. It is an ocean that offers not only refreshing waters to bathe the body, but also refreshing waters to nourish the soul. It is the ocean of spiritual consciousness, of God, waiting to be tapped within each of us. It lies within, waiting to be discovered. It is there for everyone who seeks it.

*Physical Consciousness And Spiritual Consciousness*
Before we discuss ways to tap into our spiritual consciousness, let us examine what it is. It is becoming conscious of the soul within us and God. Some people are only aware of the body, of the thoughts passing through the mind, and of the world around us. This is called body consciousness or physical consciousness. But we are more than our body and mind. We are actually a soul, a conscious entity which inhabits the body.
The soul comes from God and is a part of God and is the power that enlivens the body (Genesis 2:7). This consciousness at the level of soul, independent of our body and mind, is what is termed spiritual consciousness. When we tap into our spiritual consciousness, we experience the qualities of spiritual consciousness – all-consciousness, love, peace, unity, bliss and freedom from fear. Let us look at each of these.

*Qualities of Spiritual Consciousness*

*Love*

Anyone who has experienced spiritual consciousness has spoken of coming in contact with divine love. God is love, our soul being of the same essence as that of God is love, and the way back to God is through love. The ocean of spiritual consciousness is an ocean of love. It is hard for us to understand this, because we as human beings think of love in a limited and narrow sense.
The love we think of as love is but a reflection of a much higher love, a divine love. It is an all-embracing, fulfilling, satisfying love that pulls close to its heart all that exists. We are all swimming in God’s love but do not know it. It embraces each of us equally, and is an unconditional love that does not see our outer differences. We may lose the love of everyone in the world, but we are sustained by a much higher and more permanent love—the divine love of God embracing us from within through the Holy Spirit.
When we tap into our spiritual consciousness, we not only experience love ourselves, but we expand in our own capacity to love others. Whereas now the list of people we love may be short, including only our spouse, partner, family members, and close friends, the list will grow to encompass every person in creation and even every living thing in creation - "14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge —that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God" -.Ephesians 3:14-19.

*THE FIRST LOCKDOWN*
The first lockdown was done by God in the book of Genesis when He (God) shut the door of the Ark He caused Noah to construct.
The lockdown was for a good purpose; to protect the good people and punish the disobedient and evil men.
May God lock us down spiritually to protect us from the virus as we obey the directives of the President physically.
May He expose the wicked to the virus.
God, let coronavirus eliminate only the unrepentant evil men from the world you created including those who created the virus (May they eat their own flesh and drink their own blood - *Isaiah 49:26*). Those who seize what does not belong to them from the weak. Those who loot the nations and plunge the masses into suffering.
Those who will unrepentantly oppose the preaching of the gospel of the cross.
God, protect your children and bless us. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray with Thanksgiving.

The above video contains Part Three of the prophetic statements that unfolded on the eve of 2020 (31st Dec 2019 crossover to 2020)

*Key points*:
*The voice of God spoke through the voice of man in a proverbial way as follows:
1. *Sin shall be witnessed in 2020 in its complete and mature form* -
Is Covid 19 the creation of man?
Is Covid 19 a natural phenomenon or is it backed by evil spiritual forces?
Well I believe that whatever the case is, it is a manifestation of sin (evil) in its complete and mature form.
2. *Good shall be witnessed in 2020 in its complete and mature form*
The good news is that we have experienced sin/evil at work first and good is to come later in the year.
We are just in the first quarter of the year and we've seen an unprecedented record of accidents in the country coupled with the Covid 19 pandemic that has overwhelmed the world.
By the grace of Almighty God, the effect of coronavirus on the world will soon be defeated and good fortunes shall be restored to the economies of the nations of the world.
The aftermath of Covid 19 must induce a revival in the body of Christ in the America's and Europe to stop the downtrend of Christianity in the West.
In Africa, it should be oujr prayer and hope that our people will begin to follow after true Christianity and shun the charlatans.
Stay alive children of God. Observe all protocols to help you overcome and to see the end of Covid 19. Condition and position yourselves well spiritually, economically etc. to partake in blessings of God in the aftermath of Covid 19. God richly bless you.
