Life In Spirit And In Truth

Book II

By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze

1. The first thing you should know is that God is your Father. That means that we are Gods, children of the Almighty Father. That is what the Bible means by saying that we are created in the image and likeness of God. “All my springs are in you," Psalms 87:7 We are created not only in His image and likeness, but also as His image and likeness, His very self, because we all came forth from God. That is why we are heaven-bound, except those who would go to hell fire because they reject God’s love offered free to them.
   


2. Because we are children of God, we have the same nature and potentials of God. In heaven, we live and do things the way God lives and does things. Jesus made this clear in the scriptures. “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” John 5:19-21
   


3. In heaven, you move at will. You move by walking, jogging, running or flying as you like. You decide your speed.
   


4. You feed at will. Generally, the body gets nourishment from the environment, just as you assimilate sunlight in your earthly environment and as you sustain your in life on earth just by breathing in air. Those who are new to heavenly kingdoms do have a taste of hunger, which they satisfy by eating and drinking as they do on earth.
   


5. You dress at will. New citizens, who arrive new from earth, may go about naked or wonder why they are naked. In heaven, being naked is not shameful or disgraceful, just as it was before corruption came into the world. Those newly arrived in heaven may go about naked simply because they do not know how to clothe themselves. Just think of the dress you want to wear and it is immediately on you. On earth, nakedness in public places is not allowed because the body is no longer pure and glorious as at creation.
   


6. You speak by thinking. You converse with people just by thinking. That means that you will be able to read people’s mind and they also read your own. Just think what you want to say and the other person will immediately hear, know and understand what you mean.
   


7. You can communicate with people over long distances by telepathy. Just remember the person you want to speak to and think of what you want to tell him, and he will hear and understand you wherever he is. You do not have to use telephone or handset. But newly arrived ones may for sometime use telephone and handset just by acting it. Just by placing their hand near the ear the way they hold telephone or handset, and the telephone or handset is in the hand to speak through.
   


8. You visit places of interest. You can only visit places within your own plane of existence or visit lower planes of existence. People do not, and cannot, visit higher planes of existence until they attain such levels.
   


9. While in heaven, you can see or view what is happening on earth, even what is happening inside a room in a house.
   


10. Spirits from higher planes of existence appear as light, beam of light or bulb of light to those at lower planes of existence. That is why the Angel of God appeared as Pillar of Fire or Pillar of Cloud to the Israelites.
    
    21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. 22 He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people. Exodus 13:21-22
    
    The Israelites were seeing their Guardian Angel, who appeared to them as pillar of fire or cloud. The reason is that the Angel is at a higher level of vibration than the Israelites. But to a fellow Angel or others from the same plane of existence, the Angel would appear as ordinary body, the way humans see themselves as ordinary bodies, solid and normal.
    
    Likewise, during transfiguration, God appeared as cloud to the three Disciples.
    
    5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying,"This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. Matthew 17:5-7
    
    The glory of God made the Disciples fall down to worship God.
    
    And Jesus appeared as light to Saul (Paul) on the road to Damascus.
    
    3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul , Saul , why are you persecuting Me?"
    5 And he said, "Who are You, Lord?"
    Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." Acts 9:3-5
    
    Peter had a similar experience, as recorded in the book of Acts of the Apostles.
    
    Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church. 6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. 7 Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, "Arise quickly!" And his chains fell off his hands. Acts 12:5-7
    


11. Your earthly friends, in the present and previous lifetimes, become your friends. Is advisable to build up your friendship, by being kind to all people.
    


12. You associate with only those compatible to you. Those who do not love each other do not meet or associate.
    


13. You grow in spirit by serving others.
    


14. The lower heavens are like the earthly realities. Differences, especially in level of vibration, increases with levels.
    


15. You may continue your earthly work in heaven or change to a preferred choice.
    


16. The Guardian Angels are always ready and willing to help you.
    


17. You invite people just by calling their name or by thinking about them.
    


18. The lower heavens have church building, school, hospital, etc. not because theses things are compulsory, but because of those who do not know how to live as spirit. These places help people for a while, as they adapt to the heavenly kingdom.
    


19. You read books. These books are written by the power of the Holy Spirit, and therefore are true, complete and accurate. Unlike on earth, where books are fabricated, or twisted to please those in positions of authority. That is one reason why books of history and documentaries are not usually complete and accurate, because facts are distorted to please or defend some people. Apart from reading books, you may have a library in your house in heaven.
    


20. In spirit, you can pass through walls, roofs, objects, etc. Your dreams are real life experiences that happen in spirit. In the dreams, you notice that your body is on the bed, while your spirit travels to different places and encounters various experiences.
    


21. Time and space do not exist in spirit, as we know them on earth. In fact, time is an illusion. It does not exit. What we call eternity is simply the Eternal Now. You traverse distance just by thinking of where you want to go. Just think of the place, and you are there and then. A spirit can disappear from a place and appear at another place without delay. Distance is never a barrier, and time does not limit your possibilities.
    
    The Lord of Glory
    He crosses the heights as if they were flat surfaces,
    and walks over a flat surface as if it were a single line.
    
    Praise God!
    


22. Actually, the heavenly kingdoms are places of rest. That means you always have peace, peace of mind and wellbeing. There is nothing to worry about, and there is nothing to worry you. But that does not mean that you shall remain idle forever. There are duties to be performed and there are works to be done. But, all are done in peace, rest and delight. Generally, you progress in spirit just by serving others. “In serving others is your prosperity,” says the Almighty.
    


23. A person may have a chain of responsibilities, depending how dedicated he is. Your earthly life and way of life determine what posts and responsibilities that shall be assigned to you.
    


24. You have your own house. The size, beauty and contents of the house depend on how much you love God and your fellow humans.
    


25. There is no purgatory. God has only heaven and hell. But people put themselves in purgatorial state. That means that they delay themselves or limit their abilities, which abilities are unlimited. They cannot use the abilities simply because they refuse to believe the Truth, because they wrongly think or believe that they do not have the abilities.
    


26. People return from the lower heavens, the lower planes of existence, in due to time to complete or continue their lessons on earth. That is reincarnation. One lifetime is not enough for a person to become perfect even as God is perfect.
    


27. People who have progressed to higher levels of existence do not need to return to earth. They continue their evolution by learning and serving in the higher planes.
    


28. There is no sun or moon to give light. The light of God, called the Holy Spirit, fills the entire place. You live, move and do everything inside the Holy Spirit. And there is nothing to hide.
    


29. There is nothing to fear. The righteous ones may encounter evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts, witches or forces of darkness, but the enemies cannot harm the children of God.
    


30. There is no sickness.
    


31. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
    


32. There is no church or temple, except that the newly arrived ones may have temple or church constructed for them, just for a while.
    


33. The book of Revelations concludes it all:
    
    22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Revelation 21:22-22:5
    
    1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:1-5
    
    Prophet Isaiah confirms it all:
    
    1 "Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
    Come to the waters;
    And you who have no money,
    Come, buy and eat.
    Yes, come, buy wine and milk
    Without money and without price.
    2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
    And your wages for what does not satisfy?
    Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
    And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
    Isaiah 55:1-2
    


34. The key to the kingdom of heaven is Jesus Christ. He is the Door, the Key and the Porter. Himself is God Almighty. That is why God said we should pray in Jesus' name. Again, God said we should worship Him and call Him (Jesus) Lord. For God would not command us not to worship any other god and turn round to say we have to worship another god other than Himself.
    Here is the manifest but hidden Truth - It is God that is Almighty Father, the same is Almighty Love (Jesus Christ) and is also Almighty Presence (the Holy Spirit). This I have seen face to face, and experienced, on several occasions, here on earth and in the heavens.
