Listening to the cost of exaltation series, I heard Dave Roberson describe a vision of Jesus in hell crying for help and worms crawling all over his body and in his eyes. Ps 16:10 and Ps. 22 gives reference to this. These verses and his description triggered thoughts in me that said, this is his spirit crying and in pain, not His body! All the suffering, torment, and crying was His Spirit in hell. It's kinda like the Matrix, you can hurt the computer man that was in the system or the physical one who was plugged in. But if you hurt the physical one the one in the system would cease to exist. Having a spirit gives us authority from the Father to be in the natural.

The devil brought pain and suffering to Jesus' spirit in hell much like the rich man. Why would his tactics change now? The easiest thing to do is to attack your spiritual mind and body and the natural one will bow.

This is why desires, mental problems, and twisted limbs seem so final. Just last week I thought that the body is nothing, its the spirit that matters and that seems more true now than ever. Dave always said how the flesh does not dominate the spirit, that is true, and that the spirit must be taught and then it will dominate. This seems to be why ailments are so hard to get out of. The devil fights from within.

Jesus in hell and the rich man both experienced pain, suffering, torment, and were forsaken. This all illustrates that the devil can attack your spirit in areas where you don't trust God nor have His knowledge and presence.

I even see clearer why we should give God our whole soul. He approached your soul in salvation, made an appeal using knowledge of Him, we believed, and He came in. His presence takes abode in us. He can then give us a language that seems to originate with you because it's born in the spiritual mind and seems like your own language. This is yet another strength of the spirit. God flows His language through your spiritual mind and it hits the natural mind. Its so real you can open your mouth and just speak it.

Things born in your spirit seem so real, but at the same time you can't pinpoint there beginning. It all passes your understanding. Tongues, peace, joy, faith, and love seem to come from nowhere.

We now have a real conscience that is the mind of Christ. His knowledge fills my spiritual mind and each room it occupies is complete. Each change by revelation has, in it, all I need to win. I have knowledge in each room, that Knowledge equals grace/will, faith/knowledge, peace, joy/sonship, goodness, kindness, and love/righteousness.

Each room is inhabited by the Life of God, the knowledge of God, the Presence of God, and the Nature of God. We have to eat from the Tree of Life/The Father.

The knowledge is the kingdom God abides in.

The rooms the devil holds are used to launch attacks on the physical body to discredit the Presence of God in you and retake ground.

Both kingdoms are pushing to take ground.

Thoughts from God or the devil seem like yours because they both originate in the spiritual mind and birth in the natural as your own. So, again satan used God's operation and tried to duplicate His success. What better relationship to have than one from within.

The Father continues to ask you to use the soul to let Him in. He began and will finish using a soul that has free will. The soul is the heart of all change.
