It's a mistake to think that I have cleaned up my life so therefore I have arrived. After the washing of the water of the Word must come the baptism of fire or we will stop growing.

Luke 3,15 - 20 S1E17 Feeling good verses 'being' good. The baptism of fire.

When we submit our life to the Word to be washed, a new initiation can begin. Heaven will open for us and our adventure into the baptism of fire can begin.

Luke 3,21 - 22 S1E18 The Lord is willing... the initiation process begins.

The baptism of fire empowers us to fight and defeat the hordes of hell. We begin with the first of three archetypal attacks to make ourselves the supreme authority for our lives instead of submitting to the highest power - The Logos.

Luke 4,1 - 4 S1E20 Fighting and defeating evil spirits - part one

The Soul Warrior understands the real source of power comes through the virtue of Innocence. When we learn to surrender to the Logos we can be trusted with more and more power.

Luke 4,5 - 8 S1E20 Fighting evil spirits - part 2 - being in the world not a product of the world

The literal or written sense of the Word contains all power. But it can be misused and misquoted. The revelation of the Inner Sense keeps us safe from all attacks.

Luke 4,9 - 15 S1E21 Fighting evil spirits - part 3 - The Power of the Logos will defeat all enemies

It would be wrong of the Lord to not warn us and instruct us that we will react, object and even fight against the Lord from hellish wrathful states buried deep within us.

Luke 4:22-32 Where are you Lord? Times of spiritual famine...

The Logos is constantly working with our unstable states ensuring that we make real and lasting progress.

Luke 4:33 - 37 S1E24 Your beginning to truly believe...

The Lord's healing and restorative work upon our mind is a gradual and cyclic process. When we reach a new level however, the healing is complete and thorough.

Luke 4:38 - 44 S1E25 The Inner Sense of the Logos heals our mind.

Luke 5,1 - 11 S1E26

Each time we move through a cycle of spiritual battles, there comes the spoils of war - increased peace, healing, enlightenment, enrichment and greater freedom.

Luke 4:16 - 21 S1E22 The Baptism of Fire comes with great promises.
