Spiritual Math

Scientists have determined that almost everything that we can see and touch has a certain mathematical equation to its makeup, but the same math that we use with physical things does not hold true for the Spiritual realm. In the Spiritual realm (1+1+1 = 1) is a true equation. We see this in the Trinity makeup of God. They are three, but still only one.

We get to choose the math we are going to live by. If we are willing to be born again of God, then we also become one with God (the Trinity). So if we are willing to die to ourselves and become one with God, then the equation (the Trinity + us = 1) is a true statement. But if we are unwilling to die, because we want to keep our individualism and control over our own life and desires – then we will not become one with God and we must still use the earthly math equation, which is (the Trinity + us = 2). In the earthly equation, we stay separated from God.

1 John 4:15 - If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

Mark 8:35 - For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.

We can only be added to God’s Spirit realm when we are willing to let go of our own individualized spirit. Our spirit cannot be joined into God’s Spirit (which is one in total unity) until we are willing to let our spirit be transformed into His Spirit. We are all born with a separate spirit (apart from God), but He gives us a way to be joined with His Spirit if we are willing to let go of our own desires and selfish spirit. In essence we must die to our self before we can be merged with God’s Holy Spirit. This is why the scriptures say we must decrease so He can increase. When we die to ourselves and become one with God, we decrease and God’s Spirit realm increases.

John 3:30 - He must increase, but I must decrease.

I have realized that even though most teach and proclaim a “what God can do for me gospel”, that life is not about me at all. It is all about glorifying God and doing His will (not my own will). So because I am no longer considered my own, but a part of a much bigger and glorious God, I am no longer living for myself, but for the one that is in me.

I was born with an individual spirit with the name of Michael W Reid, but I am no longer that individual. I am no longer an individual of one, but have become one with my God. The name Michael W Reid no longer has much meaning, because I am now called a Christian.

Many people want to be remembered and leave a legacy – so that their name will be remembered. For me, my personal name is only worth the dust that it came from. I only want to leave a legacy with the souls that were willing to get close enough to me to see that I lived the Words I spoke and that I only spoke the Words of Him that was in me.
