The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

1025. Pneuma Intelligence—The term for the wisdom, knowledge, and insight of the Spirit over the natural spheres of God’s creation. Ephesians tells Christ’s people to be renewed in the spirit of their minds. The renewal is meant to bring them to a place of spiritual intelligence where the matters and wisdom of God’s invisible worlds are accurately known to them, and natural events motivating them are surmised and processed intelligently with the faculties provided by the New Creation Spirit Man. 1026.

Today’s New Age religion is a regression to this worldwide belief and worship. 1029. Pontifex—An ancient term for one who builds sacred bridges between a deity and his or her lands. Every deity had a pontifex that constituted the members of the highest college of priests in Rome. This group superintended all sacred and religious functions, attended to consular and judicial matters of state, and interacted with the royal matters of the king. Induction into the pontifex was
