NOTE: If you respond to this, and I don't respond back; it may be that you're blocking me (you can look at my profile to make sure you're not.) This is 'the "new" philosophy/ministry' that "God not needing a sacrifice to love us" could be part of. This minister is encouraging us to become "God-inside minded." I would echo that encouragement--basing on the idea that Adam was formed by 'the breath of God' breathed into the clay--but I would 'balance' it with the thought that we should then become 'God-inside EVERYONE ELSE minded' as well. Some of the 'words attributed to God': when the minister was asking God for "more power," God replied: "Where am I going to get 'the power I could give to YOU'? ... If it were my will, I could've 'used you to embody an angel (the way people possessed by demons actually embody FALLEN angels).' "But I DIDN'T 'let an angel be embodied by you.' I wouldn't trust you to anyone but Me, so I 'used you to embody' Myself! My Own Power is within you! Wake up!]" (The way the minister put it was "fill you with an angel, -with a demon or -with Myself," but ... I felt like adding a bit of 'reality.') The minister talks about how--even though Jesus was "God among us" from the moment He was born--He didn't start His 'God among us'-ministry until after 'the Holy Spirit descended on Him like a dove when John-the-Baptist baptized him. The minister then goes off on a list of all the Old Testament miracles performed by 'the God inside (each of us),' so I can't read the rest of that article without 'The Editor' (which is my name for 'the God-inside ME' ) interrupting, "NOPE! NOPE-NOPE-NOPE! THAT ISN'T ... just No." ... maybe I'll go back to the article & read it as ... maybe as-if the minister is quoting 'science-fiction' like Left Behind or God's NOT Dead or Heaven Is Real etc. I guess it goes back to what is said about The Kingdom of Heaven---that it's not 'its own area' so much as it is 'a sovereignty filling every area where it's invoked' ... I've heard it compared to 'The U.S. Embassy' (or 'your current home-country's Embassy') in a foreign country---you step on the Embassy-grounds, you're back on American soil.
