"HOLY GHOSTS!"
--MOJanuary 27, 1974GP NO.620Copyrighted November 1977 by the Children of God1.
THE CHURCH TRIES TO MAKE GOD SO BIG, SO HIGH AND MIGHTY THAT HE'S ALMOSTTOTALLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE,
so that you can't even understand His system or means of communications or howHe works or His government. How much have they ever explained to us about the spirit world or how God works or what,or how things are organised there?2.
GOD'S VISIBLE CREATION IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE THINGS IN THE SPIRIT,
of that whichis invisible. I have always said that everything God created, everything God ever made, all the visible creation, is in someway an illustration of something spiritual.3.
SO THEREFORE THE SPIRIT WORLD IS NOT SO TERRIBLY DIFFERENT FROM THIS PRESENTEXISTENCE
that we can't even comprehend it or can't even understand it. Otherwise, when we got ushered into it wewould be completely lost. It would be just too far out, too totally different, we couldn't even relate.4.
WE ARE GOING TO BE MUCH THE SAME AS WE ARE NOW, EXCEPT THAT WE'RE GOING TOHAVE SUPERNATURAL BODIES
. We will look like we do now, just as Jesus did after His resurrection. He could eveneat and drink and they could feel Him and touch Him as well as see Him, and yet He was in a miraculous supernatural body,His new resurrected body. (Lk.24:36-43)5.
OUR OLD DECAYING NATURAL PHYSICAL BODY GOES BACK TO THE DUST
. But His newresurrected body, His new spiritual body was very much alive and supernatural! It could materialise or dematerialise, appear or disappear!--Think of that! It could pass from one dimension to the other through locked doors and solid walls! (Jn.20:19& 26.)6.
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS
but that helps you get it down to where you can begin to graspwhat He meant and what these things mean, to where even a scientist might be able to understand it!7.
THEY ALREADY SAY THAT IT'S POSSIBLE THAT YOU COULD PASS FROM ONE DIMENSIONTO THE OTHER 
if you could figure out some way to spiritualise or dematerialise the body in such a way that you wereout of tune with the walls or solids around you. There is enough room between atoms and between the parts of the atomsthat you could walk right through the wall and not one atom would even scrape another one!8.
THERE'S SO MUCH SPACE IN THE ATOMS OF YOUR BODY
that there's hardly a chance in a millionthat one of them would even bump into another one! Now science says that this is actually theoretically possible, but they just haven't figured out how to do it yet!--Ha!9.
NOW YOU MEAN TO TELL ME GOD IS SITTING UP THERE HAVING TO RUN THE WHOLESHOW BY HIMSELF
?--You'd think that was the way it was by the way the churches talk! Is He by His one Holy Spiritteaching everybody all kinds of different new languages and giving all kinds of different gifts? Is He doing it all directlyinstead of through agents? Do you understand what I mean?--Let's be sensible!10.
THE PROTESTANTS HAVE ALMOST TOTALLY SKIPPED OVER OR DE-EMPHASISED THEAGENTS THAT GOD USES
and they give very little credit to the angels or good spirits. They give as little credit to theangels and spirits as they possibly can. They don't even give too much credit to the Devil!11.
MOST OF THEM GIVE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT TO THE GOOD SPIRITS OF THE DEPARTED"DEAD"
as being agents and messengers. And yet, it's there as plain as day! It makes it all very simple if we realise Goduses angels, departed human spirits, etc., as His agents or messengers.12.
HOW DOES GOD GIVE A GIFT OF TONGUES?
How does He give a gift of interpretation? How does Hegive a gift of wisdom or knowledge of certain things? How does He give all these various gifts of the spirit--healings,miracles and so on?13.
WHY CAN'T THESE GIFTS COME THROUGH SEPARATE SPIRITS OF GOD?
--Born of course of His Holy Spirit of which they are a part, even as we are. If we have become a part of God, our spirit is then His, and His
 
Holy Spirit has taken over our spirit, and it has become a part of His Spirit, right?--So every good spirit, every departedsaint, every angel is a part of God, is a part of His Spirit, because He is a spirit, right? Do you get what I'm trying to driveat?14.
(MARIA: IF HE GIVES DIFFERENT GIFTS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, THEN WHY CAN'T HEGIVE DIFFERENT SPIRITS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE?
What's the difference?) Why then are not these gifts andexercising these gifts the work of His Holy Spirit through these different good spirits or guardian angels that He gives to people? Now to me that would be the most reasonable, simple, logical explanation of how you get the gift of tongues, for example.15.
EVEN WHEN PEOPLE RECEIVE THE SAME GIFT, EVERYBODY'S IS DIFFERENT
. For example,everybody who gets the gift of, let's say, of speaking Hebrew, they don't all speak exactly the same Hebrew with exactly thesame words or exactly the same voice. I am very scientific and very analytical, really, and I have to analyse everything andfigure it out.16.
I BELIEVE BY MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, THAT THAT IS HOW I RECEIVED THEGIFT OF TONGUES, BY RECEIVING MY GUARDIAN ANGEL ABRAHIM!
Even though I didn't yet know it, I hadreceived him weeks before in Houston, Texas, when he jumped off that Gypsy king onto me--hitchhiking! (See Letter No.296, "Abrahim the Gypsy King.") He even described it as hitchhiking once, and he was obviously the one who was tellingus about the Chinese Spirits. (See Letter No. 273, "Chinese Spirits!") Hallelujah! Praise You Jesus! Hallelujah! (Tongues:)Oh thank You Lord! "What wisdom Thou dost give unto the Words of David!" Thank You Lord! Now let's study ICorinthians 12 about the supernatural gifts of the spirit:17.
"NOW CONCERNING SPIRITUAL GIFTS, BRETHREN, I WOULD NOT HAVE YOU IGNORANT:
... Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit."--The same Spirit with a capital "S". All right, they all come fromGod in other words, right?18.
"THERE ARE DIFFERENCES OF ADMINISTRATIONS, BUT THE SAME LORD."
Well, now He'stalking about the Spirit and then He's talking about the Lord! Well, there're two different personalities right there!--Becausewhen you talk about the Lord it usually means Jesus, right?19.
"THERE ARE DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, BUT THE SAME SPIRIT
." I'm sure that when we come outwith this doctrine they'll use that fourth verse to try to say there's only one spirit. Then why did He say over in John's Epistle(1Jn.4:1): "Beloved, try the spirits to see if they be of God"?20.
"BELOVED, BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT, BUT TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OFGOD!
"--So some of them are of God! "Because many false prophets are gone out into the world." So therefore if somespirits are false prophets, others are true prophets, right? Some spirits are true prophets.21.
IN OTHER WORDS, SOME OF OUR PROPHETS HAVE THE SPIRITS OF DEPARTEDPROPHETS,
and that's how you get a gift of prophecy: you get the spirit of a departed prophet! (Maria: That reminds me,the Lord said last night that you have the spirit of Abrahim, the spirit of Moses and the spirit of the Psalmist David.) Thereyou are! There you are!22.
THAT'S WHY SOME OF THESE PSALMS GOD GIVES US SOUND LIKE DAVID BECAUSE DAVIDIS SINGING THEM
, he's giving them! That's probably why some of the wisdom He gives me in lecturing sounds likeMoses, because it is Moses speaking!23.
HOW SIMPLE THAT MAKES IT ALL, AND HOW MUCH MORE CREDIT THAT GIVES TO THELORD
and His system of organisation and His methods of operation instead of to an over-glorified individual who proudly boasts: "Oh, I have the gifts of tongues and I have the gift of interpretation and I have the gift of healing!"24.
YOU ARE JUST BLESSED WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT SPIRITS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOUWHO HAVE THESE TALENTS
and it's not you at all! They're just working through you--you don't know a thing,nothing! You're nothing but a channel that they work through. They're the ones that have that wisdom, that gift, that talent,that supernatural tongue and who give the prophecies or the interpretations!25.
LOOK HOW THAT PERPETUATES THE WISDOM AND THE TALENTS AND THE GIFTS THAT
 
GOD HAS GIVEN EACH INDIVIDUAL
! Moses' ministry continues in his wisdom of administration and leading the people and hearing from God that he gives to me. David's wisdom and administration as a king and his beautiful channel asa prophet of God and that beautiful poetry and prophecy and all the rest God gave him continues on in me!26.
THOSE MARVELOUS TALENTS AND ABILITIES ARE NOT LOST AND GONE FOREVER 
way off in some Heavenly places except for what happened to be written down. They continue to minister, do you understand?Hallelujah! Hallelujah! (Tongues:)27.
"OH, KISS THE WORDS THAT I HAVE GIVEN THY FATHER DAVID!
Kiss the wisdom of the Wordsthat I have given unto thy father David!" Thank You Jesus! Thank You Lord! Praise the Lord, amen? How about that?28.
SEE, I DON'T KNOW ANY OF THIS, IT'S ONE OF THESE SPIRITS WHO ARE PUTTING THESETHINGS IN MY MOUTH,
 but they come from God because God sent them to tell me. Now either Abrahim or one of them is telling me, and one of them just hit me with this whole explanation!29.
I WAS SITTING HERE STUDYING THIS LETTER AND THIS TEXT OF THE LETTER ONABRAHIM
and trying to figure how we could say it in a simple way that even the uninformed who knew nothing about theBible or the Holy Spirit or anything else could understand.--And this explains it all!30.
THIS MAKES IT VERY SIMPLE HOW GOD OPERATES AND HOW HE GIVES ALL THESE GIFTS
and different languages to millions of people throughout the world: It's through the angels and the departed spirits of thedeparted saints! It's just as simple as that!31.
WELL, IF THE DEVIL'S EVIL SPIRITS POSSESS PEOPLE AND GIVE THEM EVIL POWERS
andevil tongues and evil wickedness, evil strength and evil wisdom, how much more so should the good spirits of God give Hisgood people, His children, these godly gifts and godly powers when possessed of the spirit of God!32.
THE ALL POWERFUL, OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT SPIRIT OF GODPERVADES ALL THINGS,
He is everything and everything is God, in a sense, it's all God. He's so great we can't evenunderstand Him! I mean He is everything!33.
THAT TABLE THERE IS NOTHING BUT ENERGY
! It's not actually material the way we think. Thischair is only energy. Whose energy? Where did it come from?--God's energy!34.
LITERALLY, THE SCIENTIFIC WORD FOR SPIRIT IS ENERGY.
Do you understand? So everything'sa part of the Spirit of God. Everything is the Spirit of God, really, right? And of course they're divided into good and badspirits and so on. (See 1Sam.16,18,19.)35
. WELL, THIS MAKES THE EXPLANATION SO SIMPLE OF HOW A PERSON CAN RECEIVE AGIFT OF TONGUES!
(An unlearned language.) It's almost always just one language, did you ever notice that? In a veryfew cases I've heard of some people who maybe had different tongues, more than one language, but rarely.36.
GOD LETS ANOTHER SPIRIT SPEAK THROUGH YOU THEN IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE
, thenative tongue of your particular individual guiding spirit, like Abrahim is to me, the particular spirit that God uses who isassigned to you personally. … Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus, amen.… Ha, ha, ha!37.
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN ABRAHIM SMILE FOR A LONG TIME!
Isn't that something,he is grinning from ear to ear, he's so happy because I'm getting the point, see? Thank You Lord! (Maria: He was justwaiting to show you!) Yes, holding out on me until I got to working on him!38.
THAT MAKES IT SO SIMPLE HOW YOU GET A GIFT OF TONGUES!--YOU RECEIVE A HOLYSPIRIT FROM GOD
! Not only the Holy Spirit which is everywhere in everything and which you have of course whenyou're saved, but a special spirit from God who has that gift, whatever it may be.39.
(MARIA: THAT'S WHY YOU COULD GO ON FOR SO MANY YEARS, YOU HAD THE HOLYSPIRIT
. That's why you could go on in the power that you did have in your witness for so many years.)--Yes, and Idefinitely had at least four gifts already that I knew of:
