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.

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.
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.
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:
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.
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;
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.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the rhema word of God:
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.
James 5:16 Confess your faults
one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
The Baptism of the Spirit
John 1:33 And I knew him
not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon
whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he
which baptizeth (present participle; continually
baptizing)
with (in the
world and with the instrumentality) the Holy Ghost.
Mark 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you( Immerse, and submerge you)
with ( Greek grammar case of location. Not “with” but “in”; residing within a location, or a domain, world and its sovereignty) the Holy Ghost.
·
While John baptized INTO
the water for the forgiveness of sins, the Lord Jesus continually baptizes
INTO the Holy Ghost.
Eph
4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph
4:6 One
God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, (instrumentality) and in you all. (Domain and location)
· Biblical
baptism always entails the imbuement or submersion of one object into a second
object. The submergence or immersion of the first item into a second item
places the first item into the location, or inside
the world or domain where the second item resides.
·
Once,
within the sphere of the second item’s world, this latter one can now exercise
its influence
back upon the first one, even to the point of changing the first item to
resemble it, by permeating it with its qualities and characteristics.
·
The
effect of the second item working its effect and influence back through to the
first item as it permeates it and changes it is called the
instrumentality of the second object.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ( submerged into the domain, sphere, or world of Christ’s influence
and sovereignty ) have put on Christ (now wear Christ, whom as clothes which totally cover us, influences
and affects back through us to conform us into His image.)
· Galatians 3:27 tells us that we are located
in the sphere of the world of Christ, so that Christ can work instrumentally
back through us, by affecting us, to conform us to His image.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man be in (DOMAIN OR WORLD) Christ, he is a new creature ( A CREATION WHICH IS BRAND NEW IN ESSENCE, SUBSTANCE AND
QUALITY. THIS IS NOT TALKING ABOUT
CHRONOLICAL AGE) old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Eph 1:3Blessed be the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings (all is available to us in
an accomplished state because the old has passed away and the new has come) in heavenly places (but is only found as such, in the world or
domain of the Spirit) in Christ
·
Looking above
at Ephesians one and three, we see the availability of every blessing in
“heavenly places” or in the world of the Holy Spirit. Nothing is lacking in the world of the Spirit, because it has
been blessed with ever blessing. The
more time that we spend submerged in this world, the more that we will find the
answers to the things that we have been seeking the Lord for.
1 Cor 12:8 For to one is given through the
Spirit (instrumentality) the (A) word of wisdom; and to another the ( A) word of knowledge, according( reference,
respect to, or in relationship) to the same Spirit:
8
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another
the word of knowledge by (INSTRUMENTALITY) the same Spirit;
1 Cor 12:9 To another faith by( Location: In the world, or domain of the Holy Spirit) the same Spirit; to another the
gifts of healing by( Location: In the world, or domain of the Holy Spirit) the same Spirit;
·
The
Greek grammar is not one of instrumentality but one of location. In other words, we receive the gifts of
supernatural faith and healings INSIDE THE WORLD or domain of the Holy Spirit.
·
The more
that we dwell submerged inside the world of the Holy Spirit, the more that will
begin to experience the gift of supernatural faith, because supernatural faith,
which is the faith of God Himself, lies located within the domain of this world.
·
Secondly,
all things are available in this world, because God has blessed the world of
the Spirit with every spiritual blessing.
·
Thirdly, not only are all things available,
but they are available in their perfect and restore state
·
Finally, all things are possible because of
the gift of God’s supernatural faith readily dwelling inside of this world.
2 Cor 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is,(Location: sphere or domain)
there is liberty.
· Greek: There, where the Spirit is, and ONLY within the domain
and influence of the Spirit, EXCLUSIVE OF ANY OTHER LOCATIONS, DOMAINS, OR
SOVEREIGNTIES, is there liberty.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk( The totality of our daily activities and the way that we conduct
ourselves in them) in the Spirit (Instrumental (BY), and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (Greek double negative: and it will be impossible for you to fulfill the flesh’s strong
desire through an act of your will.
· THEN, AND ONLY THEN, shall we not fulfill the lusts of the
flesh!!
17For
the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye
would.
Gal 5:25 If we live in ( Instrumental (By) in the Spirit, let us also walk (Greek
word which is defined as “marching in
the footsteps of a soldier”) in ( Instrumental (By) the Spirit.
Sunday /Session # 6
The
Conditions in the World of the Spirit#2
Prophecy in the World of the Spirit
John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the
same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and
remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with (Greek case of location: into the
domain, world, and sphere of) the Holy Ghost.
·
The baptism of
the Holy Spirit is simply our ticket into the oceans of the Spirit. The baptism
of the Spirit will not become a reality unless we dive deeper and deeper into
these oceans on a daily basis.
2 Cor 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as
of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. (prophetical
speech must be done in the domain or sphere of the Spirit.)
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled (by being baptized into the
world of the Holy Ghost) with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak( not just the content of what is being said, but mainly the
utterances or the expressions used) with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them(The instrumentality of the Spirit now working back through them as
they were “located and filled inside the domain of the Spirit”, to give them
prophetic utterance) utterance. (The
language of prophets, ecstatic speech, miraculous verbal impulses, the oracles
of seers)
John 12:49 For I have not spoken of
myself ( LOCATION: (Jesus is located within, or
submerged into the Father) I absolutely have not uttered
anything from my independent and exclusive self); but the Father which sent me, he
gave me a commandment (The instrumentality of the Father working back through Jesus),
what I should say, and what I should speak. (So permeated Jesus the Father, as to give to Him both the utterances and expressions of speech, and
the content of the speech carried by them)
John 8;28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
then shall ye know that I am he ( I am) , and that I do nothing of myself (and that from my independent and
exclusive self I do nothing); but as my Father hath taught me( but as the Father has instrumentally
penetrated, affected, and influenced me) I speak
these things (these
things I utter and express prophetically, by that divine influence which has
permeated me.)
Mat 10;19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought ( don’t try to figure out or
speculate) how or what ye shall speak (how the expressions and utterances of prophetic speech will come
out, or what their content will be): for it shall be given you in that same hour( in the very moment that
you need it) what ye shall speak.(what you shall speak prophetically)
For it is not ye that speak (For it is absolutely not you
expressing and uttering forth out by your own strength), but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in (instrumental BY) you
The
Power of the World of the Spirit
Mat 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof: but speak the
word only (By a word, or
by the instrumentality of a word. The word itself healed the servant),
and my servant shall be healed.)
·
Herein we see the power of the world of the Spirit. The Greek tells us, “speak by a logos word,”
not the logos word, but “a” logos word, making it into a specific
word with a content of healing, or a rehma word.
·
“By” a logos word” tells us that it
is the word itself influencing and affecting the situation, causes the
healing. Jesus did not heal the
servant. The rehma word of God working
through Jesus is the one, which healed.
Jesus’ life was so submerged in the Spirit of God, that He lived in the
domain of supernatural faith found within this world. Secondly, He lived in the world in which all is new and
reconciled to God, and all is available.
The faith released through Him inside the word that He spoke, caused the
word itself to heal the servant.
Matthew 8:16
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed
with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word (By the instrumentality of the word; Jesus did not cast out the
devils, but the word of God operating in Him), and healed all that were sick:
“Nothing
From Myself”
John 7:17 If any man will do his will( If any one out of His own will
desires to do God’s will) he shall know of the doctrine( Instrumental: teaching), whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of ( from the edge of; the idea of separation
or departure from) myself.( exclusively and independently from
myself as a source and from none other.)
