The Ultimate Guide to Holiness

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. He created them in six days and rested on the seventh day. (Exodus 31:17 NIV) These are not physical but spiritual days (seals or pages of creation).

He created man. He created them male and female in His likeness (to function like Him) and in His image (to be holy), as written in Genesis 1:26–27 (NIV).

Man was created in God’s image (holy), but he could not yet function like Him. No one creates sons—sons are given birth to.

The original Adam was created as a servant spirit. He was meant to leave one day, as it is written, “And the servant does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.” (John 8:35 NKJV) God planted a garden in Eden and placed the fruit of life in the middle, as well as the fruit of good and evil. (Genesis 2:8–9 NIV) If Adam had eaten the fruit of life, he would have lived forever as a servant spirit, and there would have been no need for Christ or Christianity. However, his wife was deceived and ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve was deceived, but Adam sinned because the instruction was given to him (1 Timothy 2:14 NIV), and they both became sinners.

When Adam ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, a conscience was born in both Adam and Eve. They now knew what was good and what was evil, unlike animals. This is the origin of the sin of the conscience. When Adam ate that fruit, something happened in humankind’s spiritual reality. They died spiritually as God told him in Genesis 2:17 (NIV).

The servant spirit gave place to two daughter spirits (the conscious man): the good daughter spirit and the evil daughter spirit. So, “man” became conscious and could now sin, for he could differentiate good from evil (he knew evil and good). He could now sin, as in Genesis 3:10–11 (NIV).

When man ate that fruit, he became like God (who is three in One), having three spirits in one soul: the good daughter spirit, the evil daughter spirit, and the spirit of sin. Like all other spiritual beings, he became a spirit that cannot live without another. (Genesis 3:22 NIV) 

The serpent that deceived Eve symbolically represented a cunning spirit that could deceive Eve’s mind. Eve thought she was talking to herself, just like all human beings commonly do. This fruit created bride spirits in man, and the evil spirit of sin bonded with one of them, giving Adam a new identity as a sinner. This bond is the bond of life, the natural life. This evil spirit bonded with the evil spirit in man to produce life, for just like all other spirits, man became a spirit that needed two to form life in the soul. (Genesis 3:22 NIV)

Every person born into a man-woman relationship has the spirit of sin in them (Adam’s sin). As it is rightly said, “All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.” (Romans 3:23 NIV) No natural person lives without the spirit of sin; it is their nature—they are one with the spirit. This is the truth. (Hebrews 2:15 NIV)

Since man now has a conscience (knowing good and evil), the only form of righteousness adapted to him was laws until the appointed time (Christ). The only kind of righteousness was the blood of animals; that is why God clothed them with the skin of animals instead of the leaves they took. (Genesis 3:21 NIV) He covered their nakedness (sin) with the blood of animals (burnt offerings), as we see later with the laws of Moses and burnt offerings.

Because they became sinners, it was dangerous for them to live in that garden. If they had also eaten the fruit of life as sinners, man would have lived forever as a sinner, preventing any future hope of salvation. Therefore, God banished them from the Garden of Eden (not a physical garden) to protect humankind.

Since man was banished from that garden, there has been hope in Christ. What is that hope all about? That hope is in man. That hope is in the good part of that fruit, the good daughter spirit.

The good daughter spirit, or the good conscience, cannot sin or be affected by evil. Evil cannot stand her; she is the true definition of “There is no divination against Israel.” (Numbers 23:23 NIV) She is the Queen of Righteousness and Peace (not the peace of the dictionary). Her glory is so great that God Almighty fought for her with an outstretched arm for generations, as it is written, “The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.” (Isaiah 37:32 NIV)

All creation was made with one goal: to make her the bride of Christ. Through her, man should become part of the Family of God. That is the original plan of creation.

God did not hold back His own Son but gave him for her. (Romans 8:22 NIV) Christ did not die for the sinner (evil nature) but to save the good nature in man. Christ did not die for the sinner (evil daughter spirit in man); neither did God love sinners. We indeed read that he loves sinners or that Christ died for sinners. The term “sinners” stands for the soul of man (house) that these spirits live in. We now see why the blood was symbolically put on the doorpost in Egypt to protect the firstborn sons of those inside. (Exodus 12:7 NIV)

If God loves sinners, why does He not also bless demons? They are equally sinners. He cannot bless them because they don’t have a good nature (good daughter spirit).

The good daughter spirit remained desolate as there was no suitable groom for her to live with. (Galatians 4:27 NIV) For life to exist in the physical world, a groom spirit must bond with a bride spirit in the spiritual realm. This is what occurred with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, resulting in the creation of natural (sinful) life. The same principle applies to Christians at repentance, producing divine life because the groom is divine (Christ).

Man is a sinner by nature.

All creation (man and spirits) cannot live alone, but the original man was created differently. (Genesis 3:22 NIV) All other spirits in creation (angels and demons) are bride spirits, except one—Lucifer.

Satan was created a groom spirit; he could live through all the other creations (and be their life)—that is the extent of his glory. He saw it and became proud.

He saw it and compared himself to God. (Isaiah 14:12–13 NIV) He is the only groom spirit in all creation. He is the prince of creation. (John 14:30 NIV)

The groom spirit lives in the bride spirit as she lives through him. The life of one is in the other. (John 14:20 NIV) The person we see is the bride spirit, but the actions are the groom spirit (John 14:8–10 NIV) You see the demons, but their sin is the devil (Satan). (Revelation 12:4 NIV) He is called a serpent because you don’t see him but only his works.

There was no hope for man since there is only one groom spirit in all creation. Moreover, the good daughter spirit is a spirit of rest (like God), unlike all other spirits (angels and demons) that are spirits of struggle.

The seventh day (God’s rest) was created for her, but who will give her a life of rest? She is the Queen of Righteousness, and no unholy groom can withstand her nature. Therefore, no one was found worthy of saving man, as written in Revelation 5:3–4 (NIV), but something happened—God became man in Jesus. (Revelation 5:5–7 NIV)

When a sinner accepts Christ, His Spirit becomes one (bonds) with the good daughter spirit to form a new life (the divine life). (John 11:25–26 NIV) The unbeliever is born again because a new life is born in that soul. The old things have passed away because there is a change of person in the soul. The good daughter spirit is now in charge, so clothe yourself with the sun and walk on the moon (forces of evil). The old nature died with all that is hers (sin, guilt, genealogy, demonic oppressions, etc.).

The Christian’s identity in the soul is similar to Melchizedek. (Hebrews 7:3 KJV) We are not born of human genealogy but of God’s will. (John 1:13 NIV) The age of the Christian is not determined by physical appearance but by the spiritual presence within. Just as Melchizedek appeared in the Bible, the Christian emerges at any point in life, guided by the Holy Spirit’s conviction of sin. (John 16:8 NKJV)

Christians have no age, no beginning or end, and no genealogy. They are divine because their lives are divine. Since they have no genealogy, no covenant can be attached to them. 

We cannot be bewitched for we are holy and not from this world. Does the moon also rule the people of the day? We are in the world but not from the world.

There is no oracle, altar, or oath against Christians. We are a spirit of rest, greater than all spirits of struggles and all creation. We are one with God in Christ. We cannot be possessed for no evil spirit can withstand our nature.

You are a Christian—that is your identity in the soul. Walk with that new knowledge.

Everything in a person is made new when they become a Christian, except for the soul. This is why Christians still need to be baptized for complete salvation. (John 3:5 NIV) Baptism renews the soul. If the soul had died at the time of repentance, it would mean that we would die physically. This is why the soul (house) was protected at the time of repentance (Passover). (Exodus 12:13 NIV)

As a Christian, you must embrace the new you, renew your mindset, and start living in your new reality. Many problems Christians face stem from a lack of understanding of the truth.

The entire scripture discusses this truth, and the last book of the Bible, Revelation, is not just about the future but a revelation of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. It contains everything, but you need a prophetic spirit to interpret it.

Therefore, embrace who you are. Don’t be afraid. You are a spirit of rest, and you won’t have to battle or struggle—you only need to understand who you are. Once you know the truth, things fall into place automatically.

What you accept becomes your new reality; that is why we are called “Believers.”

Remember, you are light; darkness doesn’t fight light but gives way automatically. As written, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32 NIV)
