1 C H A P T E R 8 EQUALITY WITH GOD God-hood PRINCIPLE #1 When God decided to reproduce Himself he created man. It is not blasphemy for us to consider ourselves equal with God. When God decided to reproduce Himself he created man. He created man and woman in His likeness and in His image. However, that likeness and image has nothing to do with the physical body. We are Spirit beings, not flesh. Flesh allows us to operate in the fleshly realm. Flesh allows us to deal with flesh. The key to the knowledge of God is within man. Understanding the God-hood results as man develops awareness of who he is. Many people struggle with the phrase I am God. But God is creating himself within us. God s ultimate manifestation on earth is found in man. Walking in the consciousness of I Am gives the boldness of faith that you need to accomplish your dreams. When God breathed the breath of life into man s nostrils, He breathed His Spirit into man s body. Therefore, you and the Father are one. Oneness is actually what you are after in relationship with 101
2 INTO THE DEPTHS God. It is not blasphemous to consider yourself equal with God. Jesus demonstrated oneness with the Father. That was His purpose. He only did what He saw the Father do. That is true oneness. The real fall of man occurred when Adam and Eve fell short of their God-hood. They missed the mark. They failed to walk in God s intention of oneness and equality with Him. Jesus came demonstrating what the first Adam was supposed to have been like, and at the same time to reveal what we are supposed to be like. Jesus is a mirror image of us that we need to see in order to elevate us to our God-self. Equals PRINCIPLE #2 Equality is in God, not outside of God. Oneness with the Father establishes a state of heaven. Sin is failure to operate in oneness with God. It is otherness. Whenever you seek to be other than God, you are in sin. Sin is a position as well as an act. Most people relate sin to an act, but sin is more of an attitude. Jesus said If you lust after a woman, then you have already committed adultery. The biblical definition of adultery and the secular definition of adultery is not the same. Spiritual adultery is transferring one s affection to otherness and failing to be one with God. Equality is in God, not outside of God. You are not God by yourself. God is in you. We were born with a misconception of humanity. We see humanity as being less than God and not equal with God. We are taught that we are only human, and to be human in the sight of people is not to be equal with God but less than God. Therefore, we are open to failure and vulnerable to 102
3 Equality With God mistakes. This view of humanity has been passed down from generation to generation. We are taught to be dependent on God. As a result, many people believe that they are inferior to God, and those who see themselves as god or even talk about being God, are labeled and classified as blasphemers. We are married to God. He wants oneness with us. Everything is available to us. Pharaoh saw himself as a god. He operated in otherness. Lucifer wanted to be like God. He operated in otherness. We were born with a misunderstanding of humanity. Jesus represented the new birth, a new consciousness of God. God desires for us to be born into a new consciousness, a new understanding of being god. Jesus came not to demonstrate God, but to demonstrate humanity. God intended Adam to become fully human, not in the definition that we have received from our parents, or from society, or the dictionary definition, which says to be human is to not be God. Adam means man. He was the last hu-man, or the last humanity, revealing what humanity fully is. When you are fully human you become equal with God. To be equal with God does not mean perfection. Equality with God does not always mean sameness, because we have the experience of sin. 1 Corinthians 6:17 says, But he who unites himself with the Lord, is one with him. Experience Heaven PRINCIPLE #3 Heaven is not a location. Heaven is a state of mind. If you do not embrace the God-consciousness that you are equal with God, then you will never experience heaven. Heaven is not a location. Heaven is a state of mind. You do not have to 103
4 INTO THE DEPTHS die to be in heaven. You can experience heaven here on earth. Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is within you so that you will take heaven wherever you go. Heaven is a state of being. This is far better than showing up in a location, because if you show up in a location, it can be reduced to theatrics. It becomes no more than something of entertainment, as in a movie theater. You want heaven in consciousness, in being. You want heaven in personhood. That is why it becomes a thing of ecstasy, because it gets in you. That is why it becomes something of everlasting joy, because it takes residence in you. God wants to get heaven in you. In order to experience heaven in you, you have to have a consciousness, an awareness and a sensitivity that you are equal with God. 1 Corinthians 6:17 says that you are one. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committed fornication sinneth against his own body. What know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you. Which he has, of God. And ye are not your own, for you are born with a price, and therefore God in your body and in your spirit which are God s. Now, Paul is not emphasizing fornication. Paul is putting emphasis on equality with God. You are god by relationship, not power. Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord. (Zechariah 4:6) You enter into a relationship with God, and you become equal with God through relationship with Him - Not apart, not separate, but within. Therefore, to come to the understanding that you are equal with God means that you can receive good by relationship, not by performance. Our imperfection does not negate our sameness. We are permitted in the conscious sense to be equal with God. Therefore, you can have all the good that God is and has ordained for you to have. You receive that by relationship. 104
5 Equality With God The prodigal son is the prime example of a person operating in otherness. Give me my goods, and let me be another. Otherness led him to the pigpen. But he came to himself and realized that he needed the relationship with his father, and that in his father s house was the good that he needed, and he was reestablished. You may sin, but that does not negate your relationship with God. You are still one with Him. This is where the Church makes its mistake. The Church teaches people to get good from God through their performance and not through their relationship. But you cannot attain the good that God has for you through your works. Relationship is the key. You have to put your faith in equality with God, faith in a relationship with God. You are putting faith in God s goodness, in God s love and all the wonderful things about God. You are putting faith in THAT, instead of faith in yourself. That is relationship. Elevate Your Mind PRINCIPLE #4 Relax in God because all that God is, you are. Elevate your thinking because you are one with God. He that is joined to God is one Spirit. It is about relationship, not performance. If you understand that you are equal with God, then your level of consciousness is above having a need to find self-esteem in other experiences. Honor your equality with God. We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:17) Inheritance cannot be earned. Inheritance is a benefit of relationship. Equality with God is a benefit of a relationship with God. He that is joined to God is one. God gave to you all that He is, and when you receive all that He is, you become one with Him. 105
6 INTO THE DEPTHS Be still and know that you are God. BE STILL! Stop the rushing activity of your mental faculties. Calm your spirit down. Relax in God because all that God is, you are. If God is wealthy, then you are wealthy, because you are equal with Him. When you come into the awareness and the consciousness of your God-self, you will operate like God. Philippians 2:5 says, Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. Let the mind that Jesus had be in you. That is heaven. It is a mind thing. The Church is trying to stop you from having the being-ness of a mind that sees itself as being equal to God. Let it be. Beingness is in the mind. Jesus had the mind of God. He could make withdrawals out of His mind whenever he needed to because in His mind, he was equal with God. He thought it not robbery (or blasphemous) to think that he was equal with God. (Philippians 2:6) Let mind be. There are those in the Church that are trying to crucify that mind and preach humility. There is a pseudo-humility that is rampant in the Church. Many people think they are being humble when they reject having a mind of equality with God. When you know that you are god, then you can be still. That is what faith is. When you come to the understanding that you are God, no matter what frustrations or challenges arise in life, you will be still because you have the consciousness of God. Remember, He is God, and so are you. AFFIRMATION Equality with God is my birthright. I am rich with the knowledge of God. I am infinitely wealthy with the mind of God. I am equal with God and I don t apologize for it. 106
