Establishing Your Heart
The theme of this book is the process of establishing your heart by expanding and moving your conscious awareness through the tabernacle of your being from the flesh body to the spirit man. The personal identity, the true self, and potential of being of the individual is established within his spirit man. The being and life of mankind functions in consciousness which is operating according to the flow of the spirit of life and awareness within it. In the original structure of mankind, consciousness extended throughout the entire being of mankind from the spirit through the soul to the flesh body. The heart is the control center of this consciousness which is directed by the person of the spirit man through his awareness of identity as a self image. Conscious awareness is the focus of attention by which the person of this spirit man directs the activity of his consciousness through the self image in his heart.
Due to the fall and corruption of mankind by pride, separations occurred within the consciousness of each individual between his spirit, soul, and flesh body. Thereafter, the self image of the person within his heart determines the flow of awareness between the spirit man and soul and thereby the activity of his consciousness. Spiritual regeneration with an awareness of a new spiritual identity in the likeness of his redeemer Yeshua (Jesus) within an established heart is the basis whereby the individual manifests the potential of his spirit man and fulfills his destiny.
God speaks word pictures through His Son, Living Word of God, as images of being. Words create images within a frame of reference of the inner screen of awareness within the consciousness of a person. Through awareness, the light of understanding creates images upon the inner screen of awareness of your consciousness. The process of imagination and most thinking occurs in terms of images. Your words manifest the potential of your spirit being according to the orientation of your heart, your attitudes, and the flow of the spirit of life and awareness from your spirit through your soul into manifestation in your life.
The key to manifesting your spiritual potential is in the process of shifting your conscious awareness from your soul influenced by the flesh to your spirit man. This occurs as you become consciously aware of the person of your spirit with his inner spiritual senses of awareness. This awareness is essential in the process of overcoming those things within your consciousness which hinder the manifestation of your potential. As you begin this process, there is an internal guidance system, man's homing device, operated by the Holy Spirit of God that keeps you on course.
The pattern of the structure of Moses Tabernacle in the wilderness and the Temple in Jerusalem charted this course for moving your conscious awareness from your flesh body through your soul into your spirit man. A person enters the tabernacle through the Outer Court. The person of his spirit man, as a spirit being, was placed within his flesh body by God, the Source of his being. The outer court represents the flesh body of mankind. The Inner Court (Holy Place) represents the soul of man. The Holy of Holies, in which stands the Ark Of the Covenant, represents the spirit of man. Man communes with God through the person of his spirit being.
A primary aspect of the purpose for your life is to commune with God, the Source of your being, and manifest the fruits of the spirit - love, joy, peace, self control, etc. The process of moving your conscious awareness from your flesh body into your spirit man in essential to your journey through life to fulfill your destiny. On any journey, a compass is needed to keep you on course. Your heart with the word of God stored therein is the compass for your journey within the depths of your being. A compass must be calibrated periodically for its accuracy. You recalibrate the compass within your heart by studying and meditating upon the word of God.
