The word “believeth” means “a believing one. There were no “believing ones” in the time while Christ was preaching. They were Jews under law. The “believing ones” came into being at Pentecost. It meant a believer, a New Creation Man. The new creation man is a partaker of God’s nature. He is really an Incarnation. He has received the nature and life of God. Then he invites the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead, who came on the day of Pentecost, to make His home in his body. This man not only has God’s nature, but has God actually living in him. If this doesn’t constitute a superman, then I don’t know what a superman is.

But I am going to carry you one step farther. This man with God’s nature, and God dwelling in him, is given a legal right to the use of the Name of Jesus with the power of attorney.
The question is: What is that Name worth? What authority is there back of it? Matt. 28:18-20 Jesus said: “All authority hath been given me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, (with this authority) and make disciples, (or students), of all the nations; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: “and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age.” You see what we have now? We have the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus; and all authority in heaven and on earth is invested in that Name. Go over it just once more.
The believer is a new creation. The old things of weakness and failure have passed away and behold the old man has become a new man and all these things are of God. (2 Cor. 5:17.) This man is a partaker of the divine nature, Eternal Life. “He that hath the Son hath the life.” He has the Son—he has the life. Now he has the Holy Spirit indwelling him. “Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.” This believer, this new creation, is a child of Deity. He stands before the world as a very branch of the vine. He is taking Jesus’ place in the world. And if this isn’t a superman, then I don’t know the meaning of the term. The Church has kept this “Samson” imprisoned by false teachings and by creeds and doctrines. They have not only held him a prisoner to their philosophies and dogmas, but they have actually put out his eyes. But the Father is restoring sight to her and breaking the bonds that hold him.

The bonds of false teaching are going to be broken, and this child of God, this superman, is going to come into his own. He has two formidable enemies. The worst one is Sense Knowledge. Entrenched in all our universities, colleges and technical schools, backed up by the press and religious periodicals, the great mass of the ministry are the devotees of the achievements of the Senses in the realm called Science. And this superman in Christ has been held in bondage by them. They are the jailers. The Father is calling for His sons and daughters to come out of the foxholes of fear and doubt, and meet their enemies in open combat. Satan can no more conquer this body of Christ when it knows its rights, than he could conquer Jesus on the day of the Resurrection. We are partakers, sharers in His Resurrection. Hear Eph 2:6 amp says to us-“And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One)”.

We possess resurrection ability. You doubt it? Read Acts 1 :8: “But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” The word “power” comes from the word ‘dunamis Young translates it “ability.” Ye shall receive ability when the Holy Spirit has recreated you. Eph. 3 :20: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power (or ability) that abideth in you.” If that doesn’t make supermen out of common men, then the English language cannot convey God’s thought. The problem is this: How long are we going to be held in bondage by Sense Knowledge? How long are we going to refuse to take our place as the sons of God? How long are we going to be intimidated by the fears and doctrines of men, while the Word of God is ignored? To them, it is a root out of dry ground. To most of the people it has been a useless vine, something they could hang their doctrines and creeds upon.
It is coming to be to us what it really is in the mind of the Father.

Here is the Spirit’s challenge: that you who read this, take your rights in prayer! Begin to act like sons of God. You have all heaven back of you. You have the very angelic forces to do your bidding. God is your strength and ability. All things are possible to you because you are daring to act on the Word of God. You are daring to live as Jesus dared to live in His earth walk. You are the righteousness of God—that makes you a master of Satan; that gives you access to the throne; that permits you to take your place as a victor, as a spirit-warrior, as a conqueror. You can have the consciousness that you are taking Jesus’ place. 2 Cor. 2:14-15 is becoming a reality in your own life: “But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ's victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere,
15.For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing: (amp) And you can shout, Yes, I am Messiah’s incense smoking for God in the sight of all.
I am a master in His Name, with His ability. I can do what He planned the Church should do, for I am what He says I am.

God’s Real Man

Spiritual things are as real as material things. Spiritual forces are stronger than mental. Spiritual forces govern disease. Spiritual forces govern natural laws. Satan caused the wind on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus caused it to be still.
The believer in his contact with material, spiritual and mental forces, is as Jesus was in His earth walk—He is a Master. The believer is a new creation, created by God Himself. He has God’s nature, Eternal Life. Jesus is made unto him wisdom. God is his strength. The Holy Spirit is his ability. He has the love nature of God so that he does not and cannot act like common men. Love makes him like Jesus. He has the mind of Christ and the ability that Christ had in His earth walk. This makes him a superman.
