By way of reminder I am recapping the earlier discovery of and unveiling of the secret of Deuteronomy 29:29 and its link with the mysteries unveiled to Paul by the risen Lord shortly after his historic conversion from Judaism to the new law of Grace in the faith of Christ. All being written in a way that kept it concealed to carnal humanity for eons but now made known by the Spirit of GOD in man, as HE was in Jesus. The full purpose of His coming as the son of man. I am still looking at verse 14 of 1Corinthians 2:6-16, in which it states, "for a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of GOD." Today I want to look at "carnality," exposed by scripture before moving on to evil thoughts and evil imaginations and a few more.
Carnality,
Exodus 16:1-3 "They set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the people of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt. And the whole congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness, and the people of Israel said to them, "Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
Numbers 11:4-9 "Now the rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also wept again and said, "Oh that we had meat to eat! We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. But now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at." Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium [gum resin]. The people went about and gathered it and ground it in hand-mills or beat it in mortars and boiled it in pots and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked with oil. When the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell with it."
Psalm 78:17-20 "Yet they sinned still more against Him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert. They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the wilderness? He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed. Can He also give bread or provide meat for His people?"
John 6:26-34 "Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on Him God the Father has set His seal." (Deuteronomy 18:15-22) Then they said to Him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?" Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him Whom HE has sent." So they said to Him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? For our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" (Exodus 16:4, 15, 21, Numbers 11:8) Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He Who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." They said to Him, "Sir, give us this bread always."
Romans 7:21-25 "So I find it to be a law [principle] that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law [principle] of God, in my inner being, for I see in my members another law [principle of sin] waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to GOD through Jesus Christ our LORD! So then, I myself serve the law of [faith in GOD's faithfulness] God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin."
Romans 8:1-8 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the Law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God."
Galatians 5:13-15 "For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another."
1John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will [plan and purpose] of GOD abides forever."
