The U.S.A. Weekend Seminar Series

“How to Walk in the Spirit”

1. All seminars are held by invitation from your church or ministry.

2. Because of the amount of materials that must be covered, six weekend sessions are required. We travel by auto as a family, with our four children, when asked to minister in the Southwest. This includes New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and the western Texas areas.

3. Outside of this geographical area, I, Jose, will come alone by airplane.

4. In most seminars, the Lord leads us to have times of ministry, which include words of knowledge, prophetical words, and healings. If your church desires for this type of ministry within the teaching times we can accommodate this. If however you would only desire to have a straight teaching seminar, we will honor this as well. Our vision and calling is to assist your ministry in receiving the greatest benefits during this time.

5. We do not request honorariums or love offerings, but trust the Lord to speak to the hosting church as to what His will is.

6. Our ministerial requirements from you the hosting church are room and board either in a motel or at one of the brethren’s home during our stay, and a roundtrip airplane ticket for Jose if he comes alone by airplane.

7. Thank you and God bless you!

Saturday /Session # 1

The Division of the Soul from the Spirit

John 4:24 God is a Spirit (pneuma/air) and they that worship him must worship him in spirit (pneuma/air) and in truth.

· God desires all of us to be “pneumatic Christians; discerning the breath of the Spirit of the living God.” Unfortunately most of us function as natural people. Let us finish our study today by looking at the second chapter of first Corinthians.

John 3:8 The wind (pneuma) bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.(pneumatos).

· What is our soul then? The soul (psyche or psuche, mind, or psychological in the Greek) is the combination of faculties that consists of the mind, intellect, will, and emotions. The soul performs rational and intellectual functions. The rational will never capture the wind! This is why we are unable to discern God with our souls alone.

· As we shall see later on, it is also impossible for God to dwell in our souls. One of the reasons for this is that our souls are open to the attack and deception of the enemy. This occurs because quite often our decisions are based on feelings. God then, had to create an organ within us which is not affected either by our emotions or intellect; mainly our human spirits. Let us observe the distinction between the soul and the spirit.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit (pneuma/air) and soul (psyche or psuche, mind, or psychological) and body (soma) be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Heb4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul (psyche or psuche, mind, or psychological)) and spirit (pneuma/air), and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts (deep thoughts of the mind) and intents (devices) of the heart.

· The role of the human spirit is generally a passive or inactive one. The soul on the contrary is always active. Our spirit works as a protective womb for the presence and the motions of the Spirit of the Living God within us. It is very much connected with our hearts, and our consciences. I would tell people that I discern the Holy Spirit somewhere in the gut of my stomach. Through its abilities, the human spirit embraces, discerns, and reveals what Jesus does in the Holy Spirit.

1Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them (taking the lid off) unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth(sounds out as a radar does the bottom of the sea) all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth (intuitive knowledge) the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

• These verses explain to us that the only way for us to know instinctively the things of God is through our spirit. God only knows how many times, and sadly enough, have we put wheels to God’s visions and plans upon the whims of our intellect and reasoning. Now wonder our churches are so weak!

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual

· “Those things we continually utter prophetically

· We speak out the spiritual things that God has given us, using the inward spiritual means (prophecy, visions, revelations, knowledge and so forth.) “Comparing” is defined as joining together, compounding, and combining. We must minister out as closely and accurately as possible to what the Lord shows us within. Our ministry must be a compounding, combining, and a joining together with the rhema word of the Spirit, and a compounding, combining and joining together of the means that He wishes for us to execute that rhema word.

14 But the natural man (the psychological Christian/ the believer that uses his mind) receiveth (does not welcome with open arms) not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (To investigate, examine and determine something so as to render a decision)

15 But he that is spiritual(the windy Christian) judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

· There is the carnal, (sarkikos or fleshly)

· the natural,(psychikos; or psychological man: the man of the soul, or psyche)

· and the spiritual.(pneumatikos; or spiritual man: the man of the spirit, air, or breath) Believers are either natural or spiritual.

Saturday /Session # 2

The World of the Spirit

A New World System is Found in the Baptism of the Spirit

John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

· Newness-recently made, new in kind, quality, substance and essence. It is unused, unworn, unprecedented, novel, unheard of. This is not talking about chronological age.

Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

· Newness-recently made, new in kind, quality, substance and essence. It is unused, unworn, unprecedented, novel, unheard of. This is not talking about chronological age.

Gal 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

· This world system has been eternally crucified to us so that we can live in the world system of the Holy Spirit.

15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

· Newness-recently made, new in kind, quality, substance and essence. It is unused, unworn, unprecedented, novel, unheard of. This is not talking about chronological age.

16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

· As many as march as a spiritual soldier by the rule of finding their newness of life in the world system of the Holy Spirit, shalom peace upon them, and mercy, on the Israel of God.

Titus 3: 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

· Another birth, re-production, re-creation; the provision for reproduction in the world of the Holy Spirit is one that creates newness of life.

· Newness-recently made, new in kind, quality, substance and essence. It is unused, unworn, unprecedented, novel, unheard of. This is not talking about chronological age.

Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

· Newness-recently made, new in kind, quality, substance and essence. It is unused, unworn, unprecedented, novel, unheard of. This is not talking about chronological age.

2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in LOCATION, INSTRUMENTALITY) Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become (PERFECT TENSE; COMPLETION WITH ETERNAL IMPACT) new.

· Newness-recently made, new in kind, quality, substance and essence. It is unused, unworn, unprecedented, novel, unheard of. This is not talking about chronological age.

· I am convinced that if any believer commits him or herself to go deep enough into the world of the Spirit. They will experience healing from any and every disease or bondage, which is not related to the natural progression of age. The deeper we live in the world of the Spirit, the more that we will enter a life that is diametrically opposed to the life here on earth. It is the “spiritual Garden of Eden” new in kind, substance, essence, and quality; it the very life of heaven as opposed to the conditions here on earth.

1 Cor 5:7 ¶ Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

• Recently born, young and youthful. Not talking about newness in essence, substance, kind or type.

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

• Sincerity (Greek: “Judged by the rays of the sun”) A metamorphosis into the chronologically young and youthful spiritual man that will allow for a purity that allows for the sun’s rays to shine unhindered through the new man.
• Truth: What is accurate and precise about God

Saturday /Session # 3

The New Man

A New Man Must be Created Who Can Function in the New World System of the Spirit

Mark 9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured (absolute metamorphosis) before them.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed (absolute metamorphosis) by the renewing (OVERHAULING) of your mind, (the mind in all of its sum components) that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

· Total overhaul of the mind into a new kind of mind in essence, type, substance and kind. An intellect and understanding adapted to the world of the Holy Spirit. The new mind will metamorphosise the new man.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed((absolute metamorphosis) into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Eph 4: 22 That ye put off (THE PROCESS OF PUTTING OFF UNTIL THE OLD MAN IS COMPLETELY PUT OFF; THE DEGREE THAT THE OLD MAN IS PUT OFF IS OUR SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITY; NOT THE LORD’S) concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

· The lusts generated by the habitual practices of deceptive behavior

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

· Overhauling of the mind in age and youthfulness. This is not talking about a new essence, substance

24 And that ye put on (THE PROCESS OF PUTTING ON UNTIL THE NEW MAN IS COMPLETELY PUT ON; THE DEGREE THAT THE NEW MAN IS PUT ON IS IN PROPORTION TO OUR SPIRITUAL LABOR, NOT THE LORD’S) the new (new in kind, quality, substance and essence) man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (HOLINESS AS A MANIFESTATION OF GODLY CHARACTER PRODUCED BY THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS ACCURATE, PRECISE, AND GENUINE ABOUT GOD)

· The overhauling of the mind in age and youthfulness will metamorphosise the new man who is new in essence, type, kind and substance.

Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off (THE PROCESS OF PUTTING OFF UNTIL THE OLD MAN IS COMPLETELY PUT OFF; THE DEGREE THAT THE OLD MAN IS PUT OFF IS IN PROPORTION TO OUR SPIRITUAL LABOR, NOT THE LORD’S)) the old man with his deeds;

10 And have put on ((THE PROCESS OF PUTTING ON UNTIL THE NEW MAN IS COMPLETELY PUT ON; THE DEGREE THAT THE NEW MAN IS PUT ON IS IN PROPORTION TO OUR SPIRITUAL LABOR, NOT THE LORD’S) the new(in age and youthfulness) man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: (THE FULL AND PRECISE AND ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF the recently made and new kind of, unused, unprecedented, novel, and unheard of life THAT WILL PRODUCE THE IMAGE OF CHRIST…)

· The overhauling of the mind in substance, type, essence and kind will metamorphosise the new man who is new in youth and age,

Saturday /Session # 4

The Overhauling of the Mind

The Deliverance from Reasoning, and Doubts into the Belief of the Miraculous

Mat 16:7 And they reasoned (Doubt: Thoroughly trying to figure out) among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning(Doubt: Thoroughly trying to figure out)) in their hearts,

Luke 5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye (Doubt: Thoroughly trying to figure out) in your hearts?

23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?

Thinking Through, Reflections, Meditating and Understanding

1 Peter 1:13 ¶ Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

2 Peter 3:1 ¶ This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure (JUDGED BY THE SUN’S RAYS) minds by way of remembrance:

· A metamorphosis of the mind which is totally delivered into a purity that allows for the sun’s rays to shine unhindered through ponderings, reflections and understanding

Focus of life, to be Minded, Moral Interest, What Absorbs an Individual

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Phillip 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Understanding the Laws affecting the Mind

Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after (ACCORDING) the inward man:

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve (SLAVE) the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

· Our minds have only one purpose; that is to be a slave of the law of God found in verse twenty-two. With our mind we intuitively and progressively know His will; this is relayed to our will, which relays to our emotions, which pulls our body to obey the law of God, which is limited to the workings of The Spirit of God in our inner man.

Sunday /Session # 5

The Conditions in the World of the Spirit

Prayer in the World of the Spirit.

Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

• Greek: Using all general prayers and specific petitions at all times in the Spirit to accomplish the state of being awake and attentively guarding all saints. This guarding in the Spirit for all saints is executed through the means of a constant steadfast devotion and individual petitions for them.

Romans 8:26 ¶ Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth( INTUITIVELY) what is the mind ( FOCUS and MINDSET) of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

• Helpeth our infirmities- The Greek tells us that the Holy Spirit comes face to face with us to take a hold together with us of our infirmities and frailties.
• The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us – Greek: “To hit the target above and beyond what is normal.” I.E. “to do the right thing and do it with skill.”

Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the rhema word of God:

• The intercessory ministry of the Holy Spirit, in the world of the Holy Spirit, as He comes to take a hold of our weaknesses, is to give us the breakthroughs, answers, and deliverances that we need with bull’s eye accuracy. This is the sword of the Spirit at work, which is none else than the rhema word of God. The rhema word of God is the Lord’s surgical weapon (or sword) as it is wielded during intercession to discover, isolate, and spiritually operate upon the specifics of an ungodly situation that has been brought before you by the Lord in prayer.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
