Beveik kiekvienoje religijoje ir žmogaus filosofijoje, yra lygiai, kurią žmonės gali pasiekti pasitelkdami natūralių žinių priemones, technika ir metodai. Jei norite pereiti į naują lygį, you should first do something to achieve that level. When you have achieved that level, there will be a new level ready to be achieved. Until you have achieved the highest level. In almost every religion and human life philosophy, people climb from the bottom to the top and have one goal in mind and that is to achieve the highest level. The more people learn and do and prove themselves, the higher the level they walk in and the more satisfied they become. Who doesn’t want to achieve new spiritual levels? But the truth in Christianity is, that there are no spiritual levels to achieve. This is a lie of the devil, who wants you to believe, that there are spiritual levels.
The maturity of the sonship of God
The degree in which a person moves and walks in is not a spiritual level, but the maturity of the sonship of God. No one can enter a new spiritual level by his works, because through the new birth in Jesus Christ a person has obtained the highest spiritual status, Būtent: Dievo sūnus. A higher spiritual level doesn’t exist!
Dėl fakto, that there is a lot of ignorance and a lack of knowledge about the new birth among believers, and because many believers don’t study the Bible for themselves, but believe and adapt everything what (gerai žinomas) religious leaders say, many believers don’t really know and understand what the new birth reiškia. They are ignorant about their position in Jesus Christ and who they are in Him.
They listen to doctrines, coming from well-known carnal preachers, who are influenced by the (okultinis) world and strange religions, human philosophies and rely on their own knowledge and wisdom, and apply methods and elements of the world to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Since the world’s interest for eastern religions and philosophies has increased, and the spirit of the world has entered many churches, this interest has also entered many churches. Many elements have been taken from these eastern religions and philosophies and have been applied to the doctrines in the church. One of those elements is the preaching of achieving new levels. There are many religious leaders, who preach about spiritual levels and how to achieve new levels. But can you achieve new spiritual levels in the Kingdom of God? Where do we read in the Word about achieving new levels?
Can you achieve new levels?
Nowhere in the Word, we read about achieving new levels. Jesus didn’t say to His disciples: “if you apply these methods and develop those technics and do that, then you will enter a new level and you will walk in that new level“. Jesus didn’t say either: “I give you power over a small part of demonic powers to cast them out and over a number of sicknesses. When you have proved that you can do that, and return you will receive more power and authority until you receive all power to cast out all demons and all sicknesses“.
If Jesus had told this to His disciples, then it wouldn’t be malonė daugiau, but the disciples would have achieved it by themselves, by applying certain methods, technics and by their own works.
Bet Jėzus pasakė ką nors kita. He told His disciples, that He would give them power and authority over Viskas the devils and to heal diseases.
Then he called his twelve disciples together, ir suteikė jiems galią ir valdžią prieš visus velnius, ir gydyti ligas. Ir jis pasiuntė juos skelbti Dievo karalystės, Ir išgydyti ligonius. (Lu 9:1-2)
Nowhere do we read anything about levels of faith, patepimas, healing or deliverance. We also don’t read, that the disciples had to achieve certain levels before they were sent out by Jesus.
Jesus preached and revealed them the Kingdom of God (ir Dievo valia) through means of parables, He called God’s people to atgaila nuodėmės, cast out devils and healed the sick. Jėzus padarė, what He had seen His Father do, and when He sent His disciples, they did, what they had seen Jesus do.
Vienintelis, who wants you to think there are levels, is the devil. He uses carnal preachers, who teach believers about walking in new levels of spirituality and that there are levels of faith, patepimas, Gydymas, and deliverance. Because if you believe, that there are levels of faith, levels of anointing, levels of healing and levels of deliverance, they become massive strongholds of the devil in your carnal mind. You will always think, that you don’t have enough knowledge, don’t know the methods or technics, or haven’t done enough to achieve and walk in a certain level, and therefore you will not do what the Word tells you to do. The devil wants to keep every believer away from the truth of God’s Word and keep them ignorant and passive for the Kingdom of God, and he succeeds by using all these carnal doctrines from other religions and philosophies, to ensure that believers stay carnal.
And here we have the problem, why not everyone walks in faith, call others to repentance and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, su požymiais ir stebuklais juos seka. Because the flesh stands in the way. The only obstacle, that prevents people from walking in faith is their flesh.
Netikėjimas yra kūne
Mokiniai, who were not yet born again and had been given power and authority to deliver and heal everyone, under the old covenant, were able to heal and deliver everyone. Jesus had given them all authority and power, which they needed. Buvo tik vienas dalykas, that stood in the way and that was not, that they didn’t walk in the right level, but that their flesh stood in the way. Unbelief is present in the flesh, since the old man is carnal and sense ruled and not spiritual.
The old man belongs to the unfaithful and perverse generation, who always needs some kind of proof in order to do something. The old man is sense ruled and therefore lives after what (s)he sees, hears, smells and feels. Dėl fakto, that the old man wants to see something first, and needs some kind of proof before the old man believes, the disciples were not able to heal all the diseases. Although Jesus had given them all power and authority, they were not able to heal the boy, who was lunatic and sore vexed.
Because when the father of the son, who was lunatic came to Jesus, he told Him that His disciples were not able to cure his son. When Jesus healed his son, His disciples asked Him, why they were not able to heal him.
The reason why the couldn’t heal the boy was not that they didn’t pray or fast enough, as so many preachers say. The real reason why they couldn’t heal the boy was due to their unbelief (Kilimėlis 17:19, Mar 9:19).
Unbelief is present in the flesh and as long as the kūnas nėra nukryžiuotas ir laid down yet, unbelief shall always be present. You crucify and lay down your flesh through a.o. malda ir pasninkas (Taip pat skaitykite: what is fasting?). Štai kodėl Jėzus pasakė, that this kind goes not out but by malda ir pasninkas. This kind didn’t relate to the evil spirit (velnias), but to the faithless and perverse generation of the carnal old man (Kilimėlis 17:14-21, Mar 9:17-29).
Walking in faith instead of levels
After you become born again and atnaujinti savo mintis su Dievo žodžiu, apply the Word in your life and through your relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, you shall walk after the spirit in faith. You shall spiritually mature as a son of God into the likeness of Jesus Christ. You shall trust and rely upon Jesus; the Word and listen to what He says, instead of trusting and listening to what the world says.
Nes jame gyvena visas Dievo galvutės pilnumas. Ir tu jame baigtas, kuris yra visų kunigaikštystės ir galios vadovas (COL 2:10)
Žodis sako, that at the moment you become born again, Jūs tampate nauja kūryba. Tu jau nebe nusidėjėlis, but you have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. Jūs tapote užbaigti Jame, and don’t lack anything. You cannot add anything and achieve new levels of spirituality.
Put off the old man and put on the new man
The only thing you must do is die to ‘self’ and put on Christ, kitaip tariant, atidėti senuką ir Padėkite naują vyrą. The more the old man dies, the more the new man becomes visible. Vėl, this has nothing to do with levels. You cannot say, that this week we will enter a new level. Nes kai atgimsi iš naujo, you have reached the highest position in life. Nuo tos akimirkos tu atgimsi iš naujo ir tampi Dievo sūnumi, tu sėdi Kristuje ir kartu su Juo viešpatauji visoms galybėms, kunigaikštystė, šio pasaulio tamsos valdovai, ir dvasinis nedorumas aukštumose.
Jėzus Kristus gyvena tavyje; Naujasis kūrinys, Šventosios Dvasios dėka, todėl jūs turite viską, ko reikia Jėzaus Kristaus Evangelijai skelbti, ir atstovauti bei atnešti Dievo karalystę šioje žemėje.
Vaikščioti Jėzaus Kristaus valdžia reiškia vaikščioti tikėjimu. Ėjimas tikėjimu reiškia, kad tu tiki Žodžiu ir pasitiki Žodžiu, todėl darai Žodį ir eini Žodžiu. Nesvarbu, ką sako pasaulis, tu tiki ir stovi ant Žodžio. Kai pasaulis sako, kad ko nors negalima padaryti, o Žodis sako, kad tai galima padaryti, tu nuspręsi, kuo tiki: Žodis ar pasaulis. Pasaulis visada prieštarauja Žodžiui ir sėja bei pjauna kūne netikėjimą, baimė, nerimas, pyktis, pavydas, nesantaika, neapykanta, geismas, Norus, death etc.. The Word on the other hand sows and reap in the spirit tikėjimas, ramybė, Džiaugsmas, meilė, ilgesys, life etc.
Tikėjimas kaip garstyčių sėklų grūdas
Už iš tikrųjų sakau tau, Jei turite tikėjimą kaip garstyčios grūdelį, sakysite šiam kalnui, Išimkite iš ten į ten; ir jis pašalins; ir nieko tau nebus neįmanomo (Kilimėlis 17:20)
Jėzus tarė, that if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, galite perkelti kalnus. Therefore you don’t need big faith and don’t have to achieve certain levels of faith in order to move mountains. Nes Jėzus pasakė, that a little bit of faith already can move mountains. But as long as you stay carnal and keep living after the flesh and after this world system, tu negalėsi vaikščioti tikėdamas, with signs and wonders following you. Your carnal mind shall resist and stop the works of the Kingdom of God and keep people away from coming to Jesus.
Faith is not a fruit of the flesh and doesn’t come forth out of the lies of the flesh, but it is a fruit of the spirit and comes forth out of the truth of the Spirit. Levels are part of the flesh and the world system and are not part of the spirit and the Kingdom of God.
Vienintelis dalykas, the disciples had to wait for before they were allowed to do the great commission, was the promise of the Father, Who Jesus would send to them, būtent Šventosios Dvasios atėjimas (lu 24:49)
When the disciples received the Holy Spirit on the day of Sekminės, they had received all power from God in order to do what Jesus had commanded them to do. They immediately walked in the fullness of His power.
When you become a son of God through regeneration, you have begotten the highest place in Jesus Christ. You don’t need any new level, but knowledge of God’s Word in order to find out who you are in Christ.
Through the knowledge of God’s Word, you shall get to know God and Jo valia, so that you shall walk in faith and destroy the lies of the devil, which have been built throughout those years as strongholds in your mind.
Through the knowledge of the Word and by applying the Word in your life, you shall walk in the truth of the Word in faith and represent, preach and bring the Kingdom of God on this earth, call people to repentance and reconcile them back to God through Christ. This is the commission of every born again believer.
Establish the Kingdom of God by faith on this earth
Eik taip, ir mokyti visas tautas, krikštydamas juos Tėvo Vardu, ir sūnaus, Ir iš Šventosios Dvasios: Išmokyti juos stebėti visus dalykus, kuriuos aš tau įsakiau (Kilimėlis 28:19-20)
Ir Jis pasakė jiems, Eik į visą pasaulį, ir skelbti Evangeliją kiekvienai kūrinijai. Kas tiki ir pasikrikštys, bus išgelbėtas; bet kas netiki, bus pasmerktas. Ir tie ženklai lydės tuos, kurie tiki; Mano Vardu jie išvarys demonus; jie kalbės naujomis kalbomis; Jie ims gyvates; ir jei jie geria ką nors mirtino, tai jiems nepakenks; jie uždės rankas ant ligonių, ir jie pasveiks (Mar 16:15-18)
Ir Jis pasakė jiems, Taip parašyta, ir todėl Kristus turėjo kentėti, ir trečią dieną prisikelti iš numirusių: Ir kad jo vardu turėtų būti skelbiama atgaila ir nuodėmių remisija, Pradedant Jeruzalėje. Ir jūs esate šitų dalykų liudytojai (Lu 24:46-47)
You don’t have to spend hours and days in prayer, while fasting, in order to find out your calling. Jesus has already given you the answer about your calling. Every believer and follower of Him should be a witness of Jesus Christ, Skelbti Evangeliją, preach repentance and the remission of sin by the blood of Jesus Christ, teach all nations and make them disciples of Jesus, teach them to keep all that Jesus has commanded, pakrikštyti them in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, išvaryti velnius, heal the sick by laying on of hands, speak with new tongues, take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing, tai jiems nepakenks.
All that Jesus commanded, wasn’t meant for His disciples, who lived at that time, but for all His disciples, who are prepared to lay down their own lives, take up daily their cross and sek paskui Jėzų. If you follow Jesus and keep Jo įsakymai, then while you are on your way, doing what He has commanded you to do, you shall enter your destination.
Paul never talked about levels, but about spiritually mature as a son of God and running the race, whereby everything revolves around running with patience and persistence while keeping your eyes on Jesus, autorius, and Finisher of our faith in order finish the race (Heb 12:1). Deja, many believers lack this mentality. As soon as something happens, they drop out, and rather be spectators, watching others run the race of life. But this is not the will of God. He wants everyone to enter the race and be patient and persistent to the end.
