That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life; (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us;) that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:1-3)

Thus, life is a person. Life can be perceived by sight. There is the sight of your spirit, but that is not enough. There is the sight of your soul and the sight of your body. Do you know that each human consciousness has a sight? The question is, what are the realities of your sight? It is said:

Now, what we have heard and seen, we declare to you, but two or three parts of these aspects were missing. But, that which was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon, what our hands have held.

All this happened before they entered into the fellowship of the counsel of the Divinity. Fellowship preexisted creation, but to be adopted into this fellowship, five spiritual elevations, five deliveries must be observed.

He said that he could only present two aspects to us. But the other three, you must work hard to grasp. For he did not say that our fellowship is with the Father. But he said: so that you may have the same fellowship with us. So that you may, not that you have it or are qualified for it. Some preachers have interpreted it to mean it has already happened.

Who told you that if you are born again, you are in fellowship with the Holy Spirit? Let us examine the truth and interpret with the understanding of the operation of the divine head. So, with this point in mind, let us meditate on this.

What we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:3)

Now John was saying that he was already in this fellowship. “Truly our fellowship” means that I am included in the communion of the community of the Divinity. Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son. Where is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the Fellowship. The Holy Spirit is the gateway into fellowship. And that is why John the Baptist said:

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Matthew 3:11)

Then, after the baptism of the Holy Spirit comes the baptism of the Person of the Holy Spirit, called the Father, for He is the Church of this communion of fire. God dwells in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the dwelling of the fullness of God, and He is the fire surrounding Yahweh’s hidden place. The Holy Spirit is the constitution of their fellowship and community of communion. Fellowship, sharing, communion – this is the fire.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.‘” (Psalm 91:1-2)

Some realities of the Spirit must be personally grasped. You will not rely on someone else to obtain them. You will fight the good fight of Faith to capture this mystery.

Some realities of the Spirit must be grasped in your hunger for the Spirit of God. And then you must be carried into realms so that God may capture you. Concerning these realities through the ministry of encounters, John said: “I can help you with what I have heard, I can help you from the volumes of what I have seen, and that is my limit.” I cannot give you the realities of who He was in the pre-beginnings, what was before the beginning.

What we have looked upon, what our hands have touched – these three cannot come from John; what was before the beginning can never come from Pastor John. John spoke of the things he had heard from Jesus. Of course, these are the doctrines of Scripture. The things he wrote in the Epistles.

But do you know that there were certain realities of God that Paul captured in the realms of Zion, and God said, “Close your mouth.” This is personal and given only to individuals who ascend into the realms of God. These are words and revelations reserved solely for individuals who have paid the price to capture this reality.

John says: “I heard Jesus, so I wrote what I heard.” That is how you received the gospel of Jesus according to Saint John, the gospel of Jesus according to Saint Matthew, the gospel of Jesus according to Saint Paul. Certain depths of God are reserved only for Paul as an individual who stood in triumph, persecutions, tribulations, and distresses for righteousness. Jesus crowned him with these revelations.

What was from the beginning was an exclusive revelation given to Saint John. A man who wrote mysteriously said: “In the beginning was the Word.” Who told him that? And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This means that John captured a certain reality never taught in theology schools. He captured it in the realms of Zion when he was taken up to meet Jesus face to face.

What was from the beginning. How did John understand what happened before the foundation of the world? Moses did not know. Only Moses wrote in the beginning: “God created the heavens and the earth.” The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

But John wrote something beyond the first verse of Genesis. In other words, the first book of the Bible should have been the first verse of Genesis before the first verse of Genesis. The question is, what realities of God have you captured before the beginning?

You must start a deep quest and yearn for the Holy Spirit. Every man who has captured certain depths of God, the preexistent creation, had a definitive encounter with God.

God wants to tell you a story about what happened before all things began. So John said, if you want to enter into this fellowship to capture the realities of God before the foundation of the world, it means that you must rebel against the flesh until you meet God face to face. Moses saw the book of Genesis when he encountered God.

He said: “Oh Yahweh, I want to see Your face.” He said: “No, you are not qualified to see Jesus.” “You can only see My back.” And when God placed him on that cliff of the rock, He said: “I will pass by, and you shall see My back.” And when he saw God’s back, he captured the reality of how creation came into existence.

God showed him revelations about what happened in the past. It was not natural knowledge. He did not read history books. It was downloaded into his consciousness. Why do I teach as I do? Do you think I read books? No! I went somewhere, I met Yahweh, He downloaded into my spirit.

Listen, I am not special. Do not even think that I am special. You can obtain much more. It depends on your hunger. God is not partial. He will give you even more than you ask for. I can guarantee the three; I can only teach you certain things I have captured to whet your appetite so that you may go back on your own journey in the wilderness.

If you desire it, the Holy Spirit will guide you through this journey if you wish! “What we have looked upon.” Looking differs from seeing…
