Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



Simple and Plain Truth

Pastor Jerry Wilhite, author

There are over 470 studies on line at godsgifttoyou.com and 99.9% are heavy with scripture to back them up. This one is just a plain explanation of everything and the verses to back it up can be found in many studies on line at godsgifttoyou.com.

It is not up to anyone to tell you how to live and or what religion or way of life you should follow. When it comes to God there are religions, beliefs, and life. The only place you find life is in the Spirit; the law of the Spirit is life.

Romans 8

1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

In verse 1 and 2 it states Christ Jesus, not Jesus Christ, or Christ, Jesus, because Christ is where the Spirit is and the law of the Spirit is life.

When we mention Jesus Christ we are talking about two elements of the Lord.

Ephesians 2

8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Our salvation is due to what Jesus did at the cross, not what we do, and definitely not by being baptized in water. The blood shed by Jesus saves us or by grace through faith we are saved. We become a piece of the church by a God revealing (telling us) to us who Jesus is as His Son and the Christ. "Christ" means "Messiah" and "anointed".

Luke 4

18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach

Since Jesus is the Christ, and Christ means anointed then by what Jesus said in Luke 4:18 we know what it is we are to be anointed with, the Spirit of God. Anointed means in, on and through, like a dripping wet sponge is anointed with water.

Romans 7

6. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

There are three elements to God, God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We go through three stages of life, first in the womb to decide if we are male or female for this life. Then in this life we are saved or lost. Then the next life is where we will spend eternity and really live for the first time ever or die forever in hell.

There are three aspects of Jesus well, Jesus=Salvation, Son=Church, Christ=Spirit. If you claim to be a Christian you are saying you are Christ like and you have the Spirit of God in you, on you, and through you. You should be flowing in the power and wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 1

24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

I no longer claim to be a Christian. I claim to be of Jesus, striving to be of and like Christ.

The remainder of this study is a lot less scripture and a lot more just simple truth.

  • We are conceived in the womb of a woman where we spend our entire time developing into either a male or female.

  • Our life span in this life in the womb is nine months.

  • The size of our universe is the size of a basketball.

  • We live in water and are fed by a tube.

  • The baby in the womb grows and develops the entire time its in the womb.

So the life in the womb is as alien to this life is this life is to the next life. But that does not make it any less real.

  • We are born into this world and we continue to develop and grow.

  • For the majority of us growth of the physical body is for about 23 years.

  • Our world is a huge, seemingly unlimited globe.

  • We breathe air and eat what we choose.

  • Our spiritual & mental development on hand is for as long as we are alive during which we will either be saved or lost.

When we hit about age 12 we are what is called at the age of accountability. Meaning we are reaching the age where we are responsible for our own actions. Depending on the country, the law of the land will vary from 12 to 21.

During the first 20 or so years depending on how much television, movies, games, etc that we are involved in watching and playing our life will be affected in more ways than most will ever know.

Some are affected more than others are when it comes to moral issues, violence, gore, etc, but as far as God is concerned all are called and the call starts at anywhere from birth to death. The call is ignored or accepted. In Revelation 3 we read Jesus is at the door knocking waiting to be let in. Since the verse does not say God or Holy Spirit but states it is Jesus then this is our salvation to which it is referring.

In the beginning Adam sinned a sin of the Spirit not the flesh. That is why he did not die physically but did die spiritually.

Jesus came to re-connect us to God, to fix what Adam broke. Since this is in the Spirit it is why so many Jews missed it. They expected a physical more than Spiritual change would happen, that the Messiah would be a physical rather than spiritual ruler.

The main reason so many miss it today is they are so involved in other areas of their life that make it hard for them to hear the knocking.

Satan knew full well that if he was going to keep us for himself he had to separate us from God in all aspects. I have gone in that in more detail is the study "God's Plan".


Jesus calls and we answer or continue to ignore it our entire life. If we ignore it, when we leave here our last and final stop is in Hell with Satan. not the new earth and the new heaven with God.

Satan takes advantage of all that he can in tools and people to convince us of one of three things.

  1. He does not exist and neither does God. Evolution is one tool he likes to use the most.

  2. He tries to convince those who believe in God anyway that to be of God is to lose freedom and become so Holy Roller or Bible thumper and that all we enjoy in life will not be allowed. Of course all of that is a lie.

  3. If we accept, open the door, and allow the Lord in then he tries to convince us that faith and the Spirit or either dead or ended in the first century. Of course one of his biggest lies is, "You can not expect faith to work for you. Who do you think you are?"

He has more lies but the above three are the main ones to keep us from God, and if we do still believe to reduce how far we grow in God.

When you heard that knocking and let Jesus enter you heard from God and Jesus in the Spirit.

Those who learn they can hear from God and that it is scriptural to do so continue developing and growing (John 14:26).

The first step after salvation is to become a piece of the church. This occurs when one hears from God who Jesus is as His Son and the Christ (Matthew 16:15-18).

Next comes the clean up of our mind. The Spirit of God, along with our spirit, starts removing those dark places and the walls placed in us from the world. The older you are when this starts the longer it takes to happen. Think of Paul who spent years before going out, or even the apostles who were with Jesus for 3 years and still did not have it together.

It requires time to change.

What happens is judging and unforgiving is replaced with love for one another and forgiveness. In time God is able to use us as a tool instead of our being a freelance operator working on our own, doing what we think He wants us to do. When that happens we might water where others are already watering. As with over watering plants, too much input can damage or kill the recipient. When we are hearing from God and obedient to Him, and not man or our own mind, we water only where watering is needed.

Hearing directly from God is the most important single thing you can do. Take the time to learn to hear and listen for and to God's voice.

As the spirit cleans us of the world and all the walls and the dark areas are removed we are humbled. This is not because we think this is what God wants us to be. We are humbled by the experience. Then of course when it is all cleaned out we can really see God for the first time with nothing blocking or obscuring our view and that is a humbling experience in itself.

By the time we leave this world, if we have been obedient, we will hear what we want from God in the next life regarding the good job we did while here on earth.

So the overview of this is:

  1. Jesus stands knocking and those who listen and open the door are saved.

  2. Those who continue to listen for and to God will have revealed to them who Jesus is as His son and the Christ and become a piece of the church.

  3. Finally the rest of the time is listening and allowing the spirit to do its work in us and to be obedient to God and not man.

  4. We then will reach the mark Paul talks about when we leave this life.
