The spirit of the man
The spirit of the man, or the man himself stripped of his physical body, is indissolubly united to his physical body until his death; the one who will face the judgment seat of God, the one who will be rewarded, punished or purgated.
The Holy Seal
The Holy Seal is a sign or mark of the holy Cross, written by Beloved INGKONG, using the last drop of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ in Calvary, on the forehead of the spirit of the man. It serves as a spiritual “Warning Post”, visible in the spirit world, that the said person is a throne of a holy spirit [i.e. saint or Angel]. The message written is “OCCUPIED, Spirit-seal and Beloved INGKONG lives here!”
The Spirit- seal
The Spirit-seal is the spirit of an Angel or a Saint from heavenly Jerusalem whom Beloved INGKONG brings down and enthrones to the sealed servant. They are the 'sanctifying spirits’ or the ‘espiritung nagpapabanal na ipinagkaloob’ being mentioned in the first part of our Holy Mass.
The Sealed Servant
The Sealed Servant is the person who received the mark of the cross and became the throne of a particular spirit-seal. Though he received spirit seal he never ceased to be human neither he was transformed into superhuman. He simply received the greatest of gifts, the certainty of salvation.
The terms sealed servant, person, throne, and man will be used here synonymously. The word Sealed Servant in capital letter “S” applies to St. Maria Virginia and Patriarch John Florentine; Mamang Viring or Mamang as we used to call her and Apo Juan, Papang or Papu for the Patriarch.
The Indwelling Spirit
The Indwelling Spirit is the Spirit Presence of God in every Christian soul. As the heart is within the body so is the “indwelling spirit” is within the spirit of man (2 Corinthians 1:22); the source and lifeblood of the true life in God. The Spirit of the Son that enables him to call God his Father or “ABBA” (Galatians 3:26-28; 4:6-7); makes him His temple (I Corinthians 3:16; 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:16) and an indispensable member of the Mystical Body of Christ. The indwelling spirit is the broken and distributed body of Christ, or simply the ‘christ’ in every baptized Christian; the differentiating component of a Christian to non-Christian. Man received the indwelling spirit in the Sacrament of Baptism – without which, all other sacraments cannot be received without committing grave sin and sacrilege – and [must be] confirmed by a Bishop in the Sacrament of Confirmation. This is the basic sign and rock foundation for the salvation of the Christian soul (2 Corinthians 5:5; Ephesians 1:14); though he is neither Sealed by, nor knew or heard about, Beloved INGKONG.
The Dwelling Place
In baptism, a special place is made in a person’s soul and is consecrated solely for the “indwelling spirit” which the believer will receive as promised by the Lord (John 7:37- 39); this makes man a temple of the Holy Spirit. The consecrated space is filled in itself and can neither be quenched nor refilled because it is the eternal habitation of the Lord. The dweller thereat is irremovable and un-enthrone-able; it remains untouched even when the man received a spirit-seal, lived habitually in sin, or possessed by demon(s).
The place is for God alone and no other spirit can dethrone, share with the dweller therein or even access the place; it is where the source of man’s divine willing resides. When the little will of man cooperates with the divine impulse, the little yet powerful pure voice, emanating from the Spirit of the Lord within him, then it
is said that his will becomes that of the divine as a drop of rain united itself with the vastness of the ocean. This presence of the Lord within every spirit of the members of the Mystical Body of Christ is man’s safeguard and anchor of salvation; that being eternally lost is almost impossible. Almost impossible in the sense that a little exercise of his resolved will, in the time of great spiritual battle, is sufficient to ignite the fire of faith and love towards his Creator.
The Filling and Quenching of the Spirit
The spirit of man is like a barren, yet fertile, soil that the production of divine goodness is solely dependent on the water from heaven. In barren soil the seed cannot germinate and grow, thus, not even a fruit can yield. When the man is filled by the Holy Spirit it is like that rain poured down on him, watered him; it refreshes and invigorates his soul. Thus, man is now capable of producing divine goodness. In this filling of the spirit, the fibers and sinews of his soul is permeated by the light and grace of God which results in the wearing of Spiritual Garment- holiness. However, when man returns to his old life i.e. the life of sin and away from God [the Church and Her sacraments] the once-watered soil becomes barren again, drying and filling the once-lush vegetation, gradually losing the light and grace in his soul and making him naked [again] in the sight of God; in this condition of his soul he grieves the Spirit of God dwelling in him [his spirit] (Ephesians 4:17-29, 30, 31-2).
The spirit of man is filled and nourished by the Holy Sacraments and a prayerful holy life. In some cases, it may be filled also of the spiritual activities of other non-catholic Christian gatherings but its effect is only temporary and within a limited period. Whereas the light and grace effected to the soul by the Holy Sacraments of the Church, like the Holy Mass and the Holy Eucharist, extends to eternity.
The Holy Sealing and the Enthronement of spirit to
Man, the spirit of God, and the Spirit of God.
“Occupy till I come!”
The enthronement of spirit to the flesh is not a new conception but rather a continuation, fulfillment and restoration of the Reign Kingdom of God on earth. Prior to the Great Flood of Noah, God still reigns and dwells on earth thru His Spirit [and spirits] but His Spirit was withdrawn from the human race (Genesis 6:3), though not
entirely because some people like Joseph, son of Jacob, was with Him a spirit of God (Genesis 4:38) as well as Daniel (Daniel 4:8-9, 18), Joshua (Numbers 27:18).
In the Old Testament, the spirit of God, not the Third Person, can enter and leave any man, as if to possess him, regardless of the morality of the person as in the case of Samson (Judge 14:6- 19; 15:14-15) which made him strong (Judge 16:20); the spirit also entered and left the physical body of King Saul (I Samuel 10:1-7,10;16:14-23); it entered into prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 2:2; 3:24); lifted him up (Ezekiel 3:12,14; 8:3; 11:1,24; 43:5); the spirit can enter into the bones to revive it (Ezekiel 37:1). The spirit of God can also give special talents and skills (Exodus 35:53; 31:3; 35:31).
During the time of Moses, God the Father, took some spirits from him and enthrone them to the seventy and two elders (Number 11:17, 25-26, 11:29) so they can help Moses in dealing with the Israelites. Yet, this kind of enthronement is not permanent as that of what is happening today with Beloved Ingkong which is permanent. In today’s enthronement, the spirit appointed by God, symbolized by the white stone (Apocalypse), is given and fixed to the man from the day he was ‘born again’ (John 3) until his death and his meeting with the Lord on Judgment Day, particular and universal, lest Beloved Ingkong, for some reason, dethroned him.
The Holy Sealing and the enthronement of spirit-seal is the true meaning and fulfillment of the words spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ to Nicodemus, “You must be born again.” (John 3:3-7) It is the fulfillment of the prayer of the Son to His heavenly Father, “Thy Kingdom Come!” The new birth is spiritual, man must be born again by the One who is capable of Creation, by the One whose actions changes the earth- the Spirit Creator who is no other than the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Father and the Son united and one in common purpose and mission – to sanctify and save His people.
To be born again is not, as commonly thought of, neither a change of mood nor a change of activities, nay, these are its fruits and not the seeds or cause. To be born again in spirit is to be opened and initiated to the mystery of God the Holy Spirit. Only God can reborn the spirit of man, only God can change the inner man to make it in the image and likeness of His Son. And in this birth, as much as the Blessed Virgin Mary was instrumental to the birth of the Son of God so thus every men and women who is to be born again should be born spiritually by Her. She is the spiritual mother of all true born again in Spirit and truth. Catholics are truly born in spirit, they became adopted son of God, by virtue of their baptism and confirmation. The promise and grace of Christian Baptism is renewed in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and with it comes the spiritual empowerment by receiving a spirit seal, a spirit of God from heavenly Jerusalem, who shall work with him his sanctification and salvation resulting in the gradual changing of the surface of the earth (Psalm 104:30).
Multiple Spirits within One Man
Multiple spirits of either good or evil kind can possess one person all at the same time. Moses is said to have multiple spirits in him for the reason that God the Father took from him seventy-two spirits and enthrone them to the seventy two elders (Number 11:17, 25-26;11:29) The prophet Eliseus, knowing this fact, asked Prophet Elijah to give him half of the numbers, portion, of his spirits (). This kind of multiple spirits occupation within a man is evident as well in the Gospel when our Lord exorcised a demoniac having ‘Legions’ of demons within. Several exorcisms also attest to this reality. Is it really true that angel or saint can enter man permanently? As it is a known spiritual fact that demon can enter and possess person it is as well a fact that should be received that good angel or saint can, as well, enter and possess a person. It is irreconcilable to the goodness of the Father and the Son who wills that many, if not all, be saved; that He permitted the devils to possess people and the same allowance is not given to the saints and angels to do the same. It is like letting the enemies of the soul molest and sow hatred, sickness, malice, and death to the good people; without these good people any defense or celestial auxiliary to win or equal the battle? It is like saying that the Father of the House simply allowed the burglars and robbers to looth His own house and probably killed His children in the process. Was it not the Gospel say that once the head of the house knew that thieves will come in the night, he surely shall watch? Is God indifferent to the spiritual battle that His children is waging? Is it not that spirit can only be defeated by spirit for it is said that the flesh is weak.
