Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. Part 5

     This portion will deal with "the kingdom" or "the gospel of the kingdom?" Now within humanity as revealed in the wee hours of the day's coolness, as explained by the Spirit within my spirit the two being one. First these two terms are but one term in GOD'S mind. Of which I shall try to copy it through as revealed as "the word" within me / us all, that word is but one letter that is hidden within our bone structure. For within it we find "marrow" where our DNA and blood originates as "the life" that is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11, John 6:53). Remember this in Genesis 1:26-28 we find that Man is a spirit made in the image and likeness of Elohiym (H430) or put another way as Elohiym....ie., GOD in man. The other thing is, is that a body was not on the earth until chapter 2 verse 5. This after the day of rest in verses 1-3 as part of the creation narrative and the seventh day season of worship as pushed by many religious sects and groups; And then formed in verse 7 only after moisture came up through the earth in verse 6 to moisten the ground, when the Master potter (John 1:1-5; Isaiah 64:8; Proverbs 16:4; Jeremiah 18:3-6; Rom. 9:11, 18, 22-23; Hosea 8:8 ) formed the clay into a earthen vessel. This is the bases of all that is to follow. 

    Then that portion of Adam which GOD took (Gen. 2:21) to form woman thusly keeping all the same figure, as first witnessed in Gen. 1:26-28 (spirit from Spirit) and then seen in Genesis 2 in a day, not numbered with that of creations (Mark 6:10; Rev. 3:14) accounting; Just as verses 26-28 of chapter 1 are not part of the creation account they by all rights should have a [ ; before and after this thought ;]. In chapter 2 all was spoken of was Adam as a singular name for humanity (H120). As humanity sprang from his loins and woman's womb. For as GOD created man, He continues to do so within every woman's womb from the moment of conception of two elements, sperm being the logos of GOD and the seed of woman being the receptivity of GOD'S logos, as expressed by the virgin Mary when she said, "be it onto me according to your word" for she received the message of GOD as if seeing Him face to face. This also being the reference of Adam to Adam (Gen. 2:24), "you are bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh," then it says he called her Isha [H802] woman while he was called Ish [H376, H4480] man, each of these words have many sub meanings, but the one and the same origin, GOD [H430 'ĕlôhı̂ym]. This is why and the how of Jesus' saying, that 'the kingdom is within you" as recorded by Luke in 17:21. He speaking of Himself in this matter for He was and remains the expression of this understanding in "the kingdom of light," as also spoken of by Daniel in 5:11a which states this: "There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the Holy gods; And in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him;" So we find that Jesus is said to be the second Adam and as such He is the new beginning (Is. 53:5 and Hosea 6:1-2; John 1) of that which had always been within Humanity but not perceived of by man. Except by those spoken of in the references listed already above, as a fraud or delusional mindset this took hold at to moment of the bite not of woman but rather Humanity himself being the make up of Adam and more so in Jesus the second Adam through Whom redemption of the first came by redeeming of the image of GOD, Romans 8:29: 1Cor. 11:7, 15:49: 2Cor. 3:18, 4:4; Col. 3:10; Heb. 1:3. So with the Cross all that had been hidden by religion became known in the saints, carriers of Light / understanding.

Now I hope that I got it all as shown to me with the added commons and paragraphs being correct, as I lack in this area of English usage.

Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. Part 4b

     As stated in the last post I have been wanting to take a look at Paul's many prayers for the mystical body of Christ for some time now. But which one to use or two posses the real problem as they all speak of the mystery of GOD in Humanity in one way or another, the message is within the context of them all. Either hidden by Paul, the translators or the Holy Spirit for those who have their eyes opened by the Spirit of GOD within us all. As stated by me elsewhere King David held the key to understanding of this mystery as he reveals throughout the Psalms like that of number 22, in which there is a statement made by the Son to the Father, as overheard by one standing amongst them. This is first seen in the Genesis account in chapter 1, as it set the stage for what would come about later, as a president. For what is within the context of verses 26-28 of chapter 1, and then in chapter 5 verses 1-2 later to arise again with Jesus and His teachings and message of the ages, as a man, a human being of flesh and bone in which the blood that carries life within it stood amongst the Jewish people. A people of hardness of heart, unbelief.

     This one thought carries to message within it as well. For no one can divide what GOD spoke into being long before creation began as Jesus and then Paul himself has stated in many ways. So for the moment I am perplexed as to which passage to look into next. Because each covers so much of this insight, inspiration, which is the image and likeness within us redeemed, which makes us all part of the Godhead, the Jewish Elohiym. Galatians 4:5 speaks of Israel while Titus 2:14 speaks of the world of humanity. Both spoken of by Hosea in 6:1-2 and Isaiah in 53:5.

     For this study I will draw from the prayer in Philippians 1, beginning at verse 3 through 14, with a break after verse 11, as follows, taken from the KJV: "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that He which having begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Even as it is meet (fit) for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of this gospel, of which we all are partakers of my grace. For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in (true) knowledge and in all judgment (discernment); That we may approve things that are excellent; that we may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ (speaking of His revelation within us as we learn of Him); Being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which is Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of GOD.                                                                                                               For I would have you to understand, brethren, that the things which happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the (true) gospel; So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear." 

Now I will show by the use of the KJV+ for the word break down first from verses 5-6 and then verses 9-11:

Philippians 1:5-6 "ForG1909 yourG5216 fellowshipG2842 inG1519 theG3588 gospelG2098 fromG575 the firstG4413 dayG2250 untilG891 now;G3568 Being confidentG3982 of this very thing,G5124 G848 thatG3754 He which hath begunG1728 a goodG18 workG2041 inG1722 youG5213 will performG2005 it untilG891 the dayG2250 of JesusG2424 Christ:G5547" 

Philippians 1:9-11 "AndG2532 thisG5124 I pray,G4336 thatG2443 yourG5216 loveG26 may aboundG4052 yetG2089 moreG3123 andG2532 moreG3123 inG1722 knowledgeG1922 andG2532 in allG3956 judgment;G144  That yeG5209 may approveG1381 things that are excellent;G1308 thatG2443 ye may beG5600 sincereG1506 andG2532 without offenceG677 tillG1519 the dayG2250 of Christ;G5547 Being filledG4137 with the fruitsG2590 of righteousness,G1343 whichG3588 are byG1223 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 toG1519 the gloryG1391 andG2532 praiseG1868 of GOD.G2316"

Often used (usually “an”, before a vowel) also in composition (as a contraction from G427) in the sense of privation; so in many words beginning with this letter; occasionally in the sense of union (as a contraction of G260): - Alpha.} (as a negative particle) and a presumed derivative of G4350 {proskoptō, pros-kop'-to, From G4314 and G2875; to strike at, that is, surge against (as water); specifically to stub on, that is, trip up (literally or figuratively): - beat upon, dash, stumble (at).}; actively inoffensive, that is, not leading into sin; passively faultless, that is, not led into sin: - none (void of, without) offence.

Now with thought and attention to the words here shared one can see what the true gospel is. I have sought to keep things simple as possible. We now move through life filled by GOD Elohiym (H430) with His image and likeness within our own bone structure from which life and our immune system is sustained and His divine name is hidden. Father I thank You for Your help by Your Spirit refreshed within me. Thank You LORD God! For allowing me to accept Your yoke for instruction in matters of You. Thank You for hearing my prayer at 19 years of age, September 16th of !966 and more.

Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. Part 4a

     For some time now I have wanted to do a post on Paul's many prayers for our benefit of learning and understanding of Christ within us. And so with that thought I will now do just that from Colossians 1. But my aim is that which is within the overall context of this prayer in verses 9-10 of 1-17, after copying and pasting of the overall context I will do a KJV+ of my targeted passage, so lets cut to the quick:

Colossians 1:9-10 of 3-17 "We give thanks to GOD and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which we have with all the saints; For the hope which is laid up for us in heaven, whereof we've heard before (the foundation of the world was laid) in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come to us, as it is in all the world; And brings forth fruit, as it does also in you, since the day we heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: As we also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; Who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. 

For this cause we also, since the day we heard of it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that we all might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;  That we all might walk worthy of the LORD in all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of GOD; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, to all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks to Father, Who has made us meet (fit) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who has delivered (redeemed) us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible GOD (Elohiym), the firstborn of every creature: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: For He is before all things, and by Him all things consist." 

Now for the KJV+ of 9-10 from which we can draw some insight to clear our perception of thought/mindset: Col 1:9-10 "ForG1223 this causeG5124 weG2249 also,G2532 sinceG575 the(G3739) dayG2250 we heardG191 it, do notG3756 ceaseG3973 to prayG4336 forG5228 you,G5216 andG2532 to desireG154 thatG2443 you might be filledG4137 with theG3588 knowledgeG1922 of HisG846 willG2307 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 spiritualG4152 understanding;G4907
Col 1:10  That youG5209 might walkG4043 worthyG516 of theG3588 LordG2962 untoG1519 allG3956 pleasing,G699 being fruitfulG2592 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 work,G2041 andG2532 increasingG837 inG1519 theG3588 knowledgeG1922 of God;G2316" 

From this text we can glean many things if we but take the time required to do so. Our first word is G4137 translated as filled: plēroō, play-ro'-o, From G4134 {plērēs, play'-race, From G4130 [plēthō, play'-tho, pleh'-o, A prolonged form of a primary word πλέω pleō (which appears only as an alternate in certain tenses and in the reduplicated form of πίμπλημι pimplēmi to “fill” (literally or figuratively [imbue, influence, supply]); specifically to fulfil (time): - accomplish, full (. . . come), furnish.]; replete, or covered over; by analogy complete: - full.}; to make replete, that is, (literally) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or (figuratively) to furnish (or imbue, diffuse, influence), satisfy, execute (an office), finish (a period or task), verify (or coincide with a prediction), etc.: - accomplish, X after, (be) complete, end, expire, fill (up), fulfil, (be, make) full (come), fully preach, perfect, supply.

The next word would be G1922 translated as knowledge, which we have already covered but it bares repetition and is repeated within both verses: epignōsis, ip-ig'-no-sis, From G1921 {epiginōskō, ep-ig-in-oce'-ko, From G1909 {epi, ep-ee', A primary preposition properly meaning superimposition (of time, place, order, etc.), as a relation of distribution [with the genitive case], that is, over, upon, etc.; of rest (with the dative case) at, on, etc.; of direction (with the accusative case) towards, upon, etc.: - about (the times), above, after, against, among, as long as (touching), at, beside, X have charge of, (be-, [where-]) fore, in (a place, as much as, the time of, -to), (because) of, (up-) on (behalf of) over, (by, for) the space of, through (-out), (un-) to (-ward), with. In compounds it retains essentially the same import, at, upon, etc. (literally or figuratively).} and G1097 {ginōskō, ghin-oce'-ko, A prolonged form of a primary verb; to “know” (absolutely), in a great variety of applications and with many implications (as shown at left, with others not thus clearly expressed): - allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) known (-ledge), perceive, be resolved, can speak, be sure, understand.}; to know upon some mark, that is, recognise; by implication to become fully acquainted with, to acknowledge: - (ac-, have, take) know (-ledge, well), perceive.  }; recognition, that is, (by implication) full discernment, acknowledgement: - (ac-) knowledge (-ing, -ment). 

Then the word G4678 translated wisdom: sophia, sof-ee'-ah, From G4680 {sophos, sof-os', Akin to σαφής saphēs (clear); wise (in a most general application): - wise.}; wisdom (higher or lower, worldly or spiritual): - wisdom.

Next comes the word G4152 translated as spiritual: pneumatikos, phyoo-mat-ik-os', From G4151 {pneuma, pnyoo'-mah, From G4154 {pneō, pneh'-o, A primary word; to breathe hard, that is, breeze: - blow.}; a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively a spirit, that is, (human/humanity) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, daemon, or (divine) God, Christ’s spirit, the Holy spirit: - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind.}; non-carnal, that is, (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross), or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concretely), or (divinely) supernatural, regenerate, religious: - spiritual.

Then we face the word G4907 translated understanding: sunesis, soon'-es-is, From G4920 {suniēmi, soon-ee'-ay-mee, From G4862 {sun, soon, A primary preposition denoting union; with or together (much closer than G3326 or G3844), that is, by association, companionship, process, resemblance (image and likeness restored to it's original design), possession, instrumentality, addition, etc.: - beside, with. In compounds it has similar applications, including completeness.} and ἵημι hiēmi (to send); to put together, that is, (mentally) to comprehend; by implication to act piously: - consider, understand, be wise.}; a mental putting together, that is, intelligence or (concretely) the intellect: - knowledge, understanding.

     Now here's something that I have not done before, the listing of cross references for this passage dealing with the prayers for the church/body/family of Christ: John 17:20, Romans 1:9, Ephesians 1:16, 3:14, Philippians 1:4 and 1Thessalonians 1:2. Lets hit on the spiritual growth aspect here which I'll show in subtitle fashion: In Fruitfulness, 2Cor. 9:10; In Christ, Eph. 4:15; Col. 1:10; In Love, 1The. 3:12, 4:10; For Perfection, Heb. 6:1; Through "The Word" 1Peter 2:2; By Accretion, 2Peter 1:5-6; In Grace and knowledge, 2Peter 3:18.

     There has been much discourse on this, some from the religious crowd, is negative meaning wrong in nature, while those who are among the Saints it is positive. I may look at another passage of such thought written by Paul soon. As the LORD leads. My problem is this, which one? As I see many hidden references to our origin contained within the context of them all and that origin restored by the actions of the Cross and our joint crucifixion, burial, descent, resurrection and ascension that followed shortly thereafter. All for the purpose of redeeming of the image and likeness hidden deep within us bone structure from which our immune system grows which is the source of our DNA, in which is hidden the true name of GOD in man, Genesis 1:26-28.

Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. Part 4

    At the end of our word study of G2378 which dealt with our co-sacrifice in the LORD'S body of our shared Humanity, I added a line at its end, which during the early morning training session I was instructed to do, by the adding of Romans 6:6, Galatians 2:20 and Colossians 2:20, which we shall dig into in this post, or not.

Okay, first Romans 6:6 which states this in the KJV: "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of (the flesh in which) sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve (our flesh by) sin [unbelief and denial]. For he that is dead is freed from sin (sins distortions of truths)." Why is this so important and what is accomplished by our understanding and accepting of this? For the answer lets look at 2Corinthians 4:11 to do so I will include verse 10 where we find this: "Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake (the taking of His yoke and the carrying or should I say sharing of the cross of our joint torment, ie..self judgement), that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest (by the laying aside doubts, denials, unbelief and self condemnations held therein by religions systems) in our mortal flesh."

Now for Galatians 2:20 of 19-21 and then Colossians 2:20 and listen with deep intent to the words: "For I through the Law (religious system of sin) am dead to the law, that I might live unto GOD. For I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of GOD (being part of Elohiym), Who loves me, and gave Himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the Law, then Christ is dead in vain." Now for Colossians 2:20 of 18-23 where we find this: "Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of God. Wherefore if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, Why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men (by religions systems)? Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will (power) worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh." All of these religious systems were nailed to the Cross/tree in the body of Christ/GOD in Jesus as their author of the same putting them to their appointed climax. Thusly restoring humanity's first freedom of Genesis 2, to us all. Now we'll turn to Peter to learn more of this matter in 1Peter 2:21-24, 25 where we find this: "For even hereunto were you are called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow His steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; When He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him (Father) that judges righteously: Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live by righteousness/innocence: by whose stripes we all were healed (Isaiah 53:5, Hosea 6:1-2, 3). 

 For we were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls." Now this could well bring and end to this blog, I do not know this as of yet for sure. AS Facebook has cut me off and by so doing has suppressed and censored me from my account. No, more voice. This they did on the 9th of December 2021. I tried to come in through a backdoor but last evening they closed it on the 16th of December, also.

Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. Part 3

     With this post I want to turn our attentions towards Romans 12:1-2, an again I have chosen not to do the whole thought but only a small part of it. Here's what the old standard KJV has to say: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." 

     An again I shall copy and paste the KJV+ to help in doing a words study: "I beseechG3870 youG5209 therefore,G3767 brethren,G80 byG1223 theG3588 merciesG3628 of God,G2316 that you presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrifice,G2378 holy,G40 acceptableG2101 unto God,G2316 which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 service.G2999  AndG2532 be notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 world:G165 butG235 be transformedG3339 by theG3588 renewingG342 of yourG5216 mind,G3563 that yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that good,G18 andG2532 acceptable,G2101 andG2532 perfect,G5046 willG2307 of God.G2316" 

My first area of attention is drawn to, mercies G3628, and then present G3936, then G4983 bodies, G2198 living, sacrifice G2378, acceptable G2101, be transformed G3339, by the renewing G342, of your mind G3563, may prove G5046, the perfect G5046, will of GOD.

Where do we find the mercies spoken of? Answer in the letters written by King David, in the Psalms and then by Jeremiah in Lamentations 3:22 and again here in Romans 12:1. First  Psalm 25:6 where we find mercies (H7356, racham rakh'-am, From H7355 {râcham raw-kham', A primitive root; to fondle; by implication to love, especially to compassionate: - have compassion (on, upon), love, (find, have, obtain, shew) mercy (-iful, on, upon), (have) pity, Ruhamah, X surely.}; compassion (in the plural); by extension the womb (as cherishing the foetus); by implication a maiden: - bowels, compassion, damsel, tender love, (great, tender) mercy, pity, womb.) and loving-kindnesses in the same sentence.

Next Lamentation 3:22 It is of the LORD'SH3068 merciesH2617 thatH3588 we are notH3808 consumed,H8552 becauseH3588 his compassionsH7356 failH3615 not.H3808 So here we find (H2617 chêsêd kheh'-sed, From H2616 {châsad khaw-sad', A primitive root; properly perhaps to bow (the neck only (compare H2603) in courtesy to an equal), that is, to be kind; also (by euphemism (compare H1288), but rarely) to reprove: - shew self merciful, put to shame.}; kindness; by implication (towards God) piety; rarely (by opprobrium) reproof, or (subjectively) beauty: - grace, good deed (-liness, -ness), kindly, (loving-) kindness, merciful (kindness), mercy, pity, reproach, wicked thing.)

Romans 12:1 mercies: (G3628 oiktirmos oyk-tir-mos', From G3627 {oikteirō oyk-ti'-ro, Also in certain tenses οἰκτερέω oiktereō oyk-ter-eh'-o; from οἰκτος oiktos (pity); to exercise pity: - have compassion on.}; pity: - mercy )

Now for present: (G3936 paristēmi paristanō par-is'-tay-mee, par-is-tan'-o, From G3488 and G2476 { histēmi his'-tay-mee, A prolonged form of a primary word στάω staō (of the same meaning, and used for it in certain tenses); to stand (transitively or intransitively), used in various applications (literally or figuratively): - abide, appoint, bring, continue, covenant with [to be yoked with], establish, hold up, lay, present, set (up), stanch, stand (by, forth, still, up).}; to stand beside [to be yoked with], that is, (transitively) to exhibit, proffer, (specifically) recommend, (figuratively) substantiate; or (intransitively) to be at hand (or ready), aid: - assist, bring before, command, commend, give presently, present, prove, provide, shew, stand (before, by, here, up, with), yield.)

Now for our bodies: (G4983 sōma so'-mah, From G4982 {sōzō sode'-zo, From a primary word σῶς sōs̄ (contraction for the obsolete σάος saos, “safe”); to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): - heal (Isaiah 53:5, Hosea 6:1-2 heal H7495), preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.}; the body (as a sound whole, Isaiah 53:5 healed), used in a very wide application, literally or figuratively: - bodily, body, slave.)

Now for G2198 a living: (zaō dzah'-o, A primary verb; to live (literally or figuratively): - life (-time), (a-) live (-ly), quick, quickened.)

Sacrifice: (G2378 thusia thoo-see'-ah, From G2380 { thuō thoo'-o, A primary verb; properly to rush (breathe hard, blow, smoke), that is, (by implication) to sacrifice (properly by fire, but generally); by extension to immolate (slaughter for any purpose): - kill, (do) sacrifice, slay.}; sacrifice (the act or the victim, literally or figuratively): - sacrifice.) To take up your cross daily in remembrance of Me, of Matthew 16:24, mark 8:34, 10:21, Luke 9:23 and then of Paul's witness as found in Romans 6:6, Galatians 2:20 and Colossians 2:20. These being part of my other blog titled GOD has One Wat for us all. We shall look into these last references in our next post, as directed by the Holy Spirit.

Acceptable: (G2101 euarestos yoo-ar'-es-tos, From G2095 and G701 {arestos ar-es-tos', From G700 {areskō ar-es'-ko, Probably from G142 [ airō ah'ee-ro, A primary verb; to lift; by implication to take up or away; figuratively to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); specifically to sail away (that is, weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare [H5375]) to expiate sin: - away with, bear (up), carry, lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take (away, up).] (through the idea of exciting emotion); to be agreeable (or by implication to seek to be so): - please.}; agreeable; by implication fit: - (things that) please (-ing), reason.}; fully agreeable: - acceptable (-ted), wellpleasing.)

Be transformed: (G3339 metamorphoō met-am-or-fo'-o, From G3326 {meta met-ah', A primary preposition (often used adverbially); properly denoting accompaniment; “amid” (local or causal); modified variously according to the case (genitive case association, or accusative case succession) with which it is joined; occupying an intermediate position between G575 or G1537 and G1519 or G4314; less intimate than G1722, and less close than G4862): - after (-ward),X that he again, against, among, X and, + follow, hence, hereafter, in, of, (up-) on, + our, X and setting, since, (un-) to, + together, when, with (+ -out). Often used in composition, in substantially the same relations of participation or proximity, and transfer or sequence. ie the Mind of Christ, 1Cor. 1:10, 2:16, 1Pet. 1:13} and G3445 { morphoō mor-fo'-o, From the same as G3444 [meros mer'-os, From an obsolete but more primary form of μείρομαι meiromai (to get as a section or allotment); a division or share (literally or figuratively, in a wide application): - behalf, coast, course, craft, particular (+ -ly), part (+ -ly), piece, portion, respect, side, some sort (-what).] ; to fashion (figuratively): - form.}; to transform (literally or figuratively “metamorphose”): - change, transfigure, transform.) By the removal of the splinter, beam, log, or spec of sand, of religions doing and placement (the change that took place in Gen. 3), to gain a clear vision a renewed, restored, rebooted mind, perception. 

The renewing: (G342 anakainōsis an-ak-ah'ee-no-sis, From G341 {anakainoō  an-ak-ahee-no'-o, From G303 [ana an-ah', A primary preposition and adverb; properly up; but (by extension) used (distributively) severally, or (locally) at (etc.): - and, apiece, by, each, every (man), in, through. In compounds (as a prefix) it often means (by implication) repetition, intensity, reversal, etc] and a derivative of G2537, means freshness; to renovate: - renew.}; renovation: - renewing ) So here find the refreshing to Humanity's original state (the image and likeness) and condition as freshness ie, Gen. 1:26-28 condition as also seen in Gen. 5:1-2.

The mind: (G3563 nous nooce, Probably from the base of G1097 { ginōskō ghin-oce'-ko, A prolonged form of a primary verb; to “know” (absolutely), in a great variety of applications and with many implications (as shown at left, with others not thus clearly expressed): - allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) known (-ledge), perceive, be resolved, can speak, be sure, understand.} ; the intellect, that is, mind (divine or human; in thought, feeling, or will); by implication meaning: - mind, understanding.)

Prove: (G5046 dokimazō dok-im-ad'-zo, From G1384 { dokimos dok'-ee-mos, From G1380 [ dokeō dok-eh'-o, A prolonged form of a primary verb δόκω dokō (used only as an alternate in certain tenses; compare the base of G1166); of the same meaning; to think; by implication to seem (truthfully or uncertainly): - be accounted, (of own) please (-ure), be of reputation, seem (good), suppose, think, trow.] ; properly acceptable (current after assayal), that is, approved: - approved, tried.}; to test (literally or figuratively); by implication to approve: - allow, discern, examine, X like, (ap-) prove, try.) So one of our benefits of the Cross is our acquiring a renewed mindset, when was the last time that you heard that spoken from the pulpit?

The perfect G5046, will of GOD: (G5046 teleios tel'-i-os, From G5056 {telos tel'-os, From a primary word τέλλω tellō (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literally, figuratively or indefinitely], result [immediate, ultimate or prophetic], purpose); specifically an impost or levy (as paid): - + continual, custom, end (-ing), finally, uttermost.} ; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.); neuter (as noun, with G3588) completeness: - of full age, man, perfect.) This perfect, returns us to the account of Gen. 1:26-28, 2:6-7, 18, 21-28 and 5:1-2 with Isaiah 53:5 and Hosea 6:1-3.

There is but one more word here, will: (G2307 thelēma thel'-ay-mah, From the prolonged form of G2309 {thelō    ethelō thel'-o, eth-el'-o, Either the first or the second form may be used. In certain tenses θελέω theleō    thel-eh'-o (and ἐθέλέω  etheleō eth-el-eh'-o) are used, which are otherwise obsolete; apparently strengthened from the alternate form of G138; to determine (as an active voice option from subjective impulse; whereas G1014 properly denotes rather a passive voice acquiescence in objective considerations), that is, choose or prefer (literally or figuratively); by implication to wish, that is, be inclined to (sometimes adverbially gladly); impersonally for the future tense, to be about to; by Hebraism to delight in: - desire, be disposed (forward), intend, list, love, mean, please, have rather, (be) will (have, -ling, -ling [ly]).}; a determination (properly the thing), that is, (actively) choice (specifically purpose, decree; abstractly volition) or (passively) inclination: - desire, pleasure, will.) So our course has been all along to acquire the "mind of Christ" or the GOD in us conscience. Need I say more? I owe a debt of greatest of gratitude to GOD by His Spirit within  me for this inspiration of understanding as we communicate in the coolness of the day. I have tried to keep this as simple and as short as possible.

Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. Part 2

     Sometime back while I was reading through the letter written by Luke, which I have read many times over, I found this statement the again it captured my attention. It is in chapter 17 and verse 21, but contrary to my usual full capturing of the complete thought, I have chosen to limit it to the area of interest only instead. Where Jesus has been talking to the Pharisees who asked of the kingdom of GOD in an effort to entrap Him. Here's what the KJV says which took place in: Luke 17:20-21 "When He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, 'The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.'" 

     Now I shall pop in the KJV+ just for kicks to see what we can learn or glen of what this is saying: "When He was demandedG1905 ofG5259 theG3588 Pharisees,G5330 whenG4219 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 should come,G2064 He answeredG611 themG846 andG2532 said,G2036 'TheG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 comesG2064 notG3756 withG3326 observation:G3907 NeitherG3761 shall they say,G2046 LoG2400 here!G5602 or,G2228 loG2400 there!G1563 for,G1063 behold,G2400 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG2076 withinG1787 you.G5216"" 

The first word is G932 [basileia bas-il-i'-ah, From G935 {basileus bas-il-yooce', Probably from G939 {basis bas'-ece, From βαίνω bainō (to walk); a pace (“base”), that is, (by implication) the foot, (in Gen. 3:15, we find the heelH6119, from H6117) used):} (through the notion of a foundation of power); a sovereign (abstractly, relatively or figuratively): - king.}; properly royalty, that is, (abstractly) rule, or (concretely) a realm (literally or figuratively): - kingdom, + reign.] With this knowledge where did this originate, what is it's origin? How about we look to the beginning even before the first day narratives of Genesis 1 through 2:3 omitting verses 26-28 from the narritive.

For the next word of great importance is G1787 which the Strong's says means: [entos en-tos', From G1722 {en en, A primary preposition denoting (fixed, Gen. 1:26-28) position (in place, time or state), and (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), that is, a relation of rest (intermediate between G1519 and G1537); “in”, at, (up-) on, by, etc.: - about, after, against, + almost, X altogether, among, X as, at, before, between, (here-) by (+ all means), for (. . . sake of), + give self wholly to, (here-) in (-to, -wardly), X mightily, (because) of, (up-) on, [open-] ly, X outwardly, one, X quickly, X shortly, [speedi-] ly, X that, X there (-in, -on), through (-out), (un-) to(-ward), under, when, where (-with), while, with (-in). Often used in compounds, with substantially the same import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different) prep.}; inside (adverb or noun): - within.] Did you catch it? It resides within it being a Fixed Position of rest, never moving or lost or surrendered.

Then we hit number G5216 which the Strong's gives this meaning: [humōn hoo-mone', Genitive case of G5210 {this has G4771 which has this; soo, second person singular, thou} of (from or concerning) you: - ye, you, your (own, -selves).] This affirming our position or the image and likenesses position, of a spirit at rest.

So how and who placed it there (in you) and when? Again, I must turn to Genesis 1 which we all know came before the creation stories start, in verses 26-28, an inserted thought, like so many of King David's were and are as recorded within the Psalms. Where he is over hearing a conversation between God the Father and His Son, Jesus then known as Jehovah. Who would come to earth as a man or in Humanity's flesh (in which is deposited the image and likeness of Elohiym) through the proper gate, the womb of a woman, a virgin. As promised by Prophesy. So where would we turn to find out? How about Genesis 5:1-2, where we find the recap of Adam which states: Gen 5:1-2 "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; Male and female created He them; and blessed them (this is the account of my contentions of Gen. 1:26-28), and called their name Adam, in the day (the eight day) when they were created." This speaks of day as being hot, while in Genesis 2, it states that both GOD and Adam walked together in the cool of the day, which is in the wee morning hours. And with that thought what about the seventh day of rest as spoken of in verses 1-3 of chapter 2, with a statement in verse 1 of the fullness of the earth and the heaven's completion having ended. (Gen 2:1-3 "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. On the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.")

Then verse 4 pics up the narrative of humanity creation, this now being the eight day and with that still fresh, we shall press on with what day did the resurrection of Jesus take place? Why the first day of the week and in regards to the Genesis 2 narrative what day was that? The eight day, the first day of new beginnings,,,,resurrection [G386, anastasis an-as'-tas-is, From G450 {to stand up}; a standing up again, that is, (literally) a resurrection from death (individual, general or by implication (its author)), or (figuratively) a (moral) recovery (of spiritual truth): - raised to life again, resurrection, rise from the dead, that should rise, rising again.]

So now what did Paul have to say about this? Turn to 1Corinthians 4:20 where find this statement: "For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power." And this is in Titus 2:14,  "Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeemG3084 us from all iniquityG458, and purifyG2511 to Himself a peculiarG4041 and G1510 people, zealous of good works." What does this all mean to us now, how about New beginnings with each new morning and new mercies as spoken of in Romans 12:1-3?

Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM.

    Have you ever got a hold of something that the Holy Spirit showed you, that just would not let go of your thinking and motivation? When no matter where in Scripture you turn it is facing you squarely in the face. As it progresses it becomes a dominating theme. Since my (August of 2007) willingness to take the LORD'S yoke upon me this is my plight as I learn more and more of Him, "the I AM." Well today's Scripture passage of the E-sword daily study, is just such an occasion for me, it comes from Romans 5:10-11 which says this from the KJV: "For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. More than that, we also rejoice in GOD through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now received reconciliation." I shall try to copy it through as revealed as "the word" within me / us all, that word is but one letter that is hidden within our bone structure. For within it we find "marrow" where our DNA and blood originates as "the life" that is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11, John 6:53). Remember this in Genesis 1:26-28 we find that Man is a spirit made in the image and likeness of Elohiym (H430) or put another way as Elohiym....ie., GOD in man. The other thing is, is that a body was not on the earth until chapter 2 verse 5. This after the day of rest in verses 1-3 as part of the creation narrative and the seventh day season of worship as pushed by many religious sects and groups; And then formed in verse 7 only after moisture came up through the earth in verse 6 to moisten the ground, when the Master potter (John 1:1-5; Isaiah 64:8; Proverbs 16:4; Jeremiah 18:3-6; Rom. 9:11, 18, 22-23; Hosea 8:8 ) formed the clay into a earthen vessel. This is the bases of all that is to follow.

     Now lets take this passage apart just a bit for that purpose I will copy the KJV+ as it has all the words numbered by the Strong's numbering system. In this fashion I hope to resolve away all contentions of any opposition. Romans 5:10-11 "ForG1063 if,G1487 when we wereG5607 enemies,G2190 we were reconciledG2644 to GodG2316 byG1223 theG3588 deathG2288 of HisG848 Son,G5207 muchG4183 more,G3123 being reconciled,G2644 we shall be savedG4982 byG1722 HisG848 life.G2222 AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 so, butG235 we alsoG2532 joyG2744 inG1722 GodG2316 throughG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 byG1223 WhomG3739 we have nowG3568 receivedG2983 theG3588 atonement.G2643."

The first is the word that catches my attention is G2190 which Strong's gives as a meaning: [echthros ekh-thros' From a primary word ἔχθω echthō (to hate); hateful (passively odious, or actively hostile); usually as a noun, an adversary (especially Satan): - enemy, foe.] Has this actually every taken place is my question? My answer is only by the teachings, doctrines and actions of man's religion and its divers systems. 

Now our next word is G2644, having two parts { } in its makeup, which the Strong's gives as a meaning: [katallassō kat-al-las'-so From G2596 {kata kat-ah' A primary particle; (preposition) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive, dative or accusative] with which it is joined): - about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to, touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [dai-] ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from . . . to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), . . . by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution or intensity.} and G236 {allassō al-las'-so, From G243 {allos al'-los, A primary word; “else”, that is, different (in many applications): - more, one (another), (an-, some an-) other (-s, -wise).}; to make different: - change.}; to change mutually, that is, (figuratively) to compound a difference: - reconcile.] So the end result of the action of the Cross was humanity;s reconciling by God to GOD.

The third word that pops is G4982, it having the Strong's meaning of: [sōzō sode'-zo, From a primary word σῶς sōs̄ (contraction for the obsolete σάος saos, “safe”); to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): - heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) [Isaiah 53:5 and Hosea 6:1-3] whole.] So with this said in Scripture how is it that so many remain of the resistance of mans religious systems?

Forth, what does "His Life" really mean according to the Strong's G848, it having only one connective word { } and G2222? Here's what it says: [first G848, hautou how-too', Contraction for G1438 {heautou heh-ow-too', (Including all the other cases); from a reflexive pronoun otherwise obsolete and the genitive (Genesis 1:27 of 26-28) (dative or accusative) of G846 (breaks this down farther); him (her, it, them, also [in conjunction with the personal pronoun of the other persons] my, thy, our, your) -self (-selves), etc.: - alone, her (own, -self), (he) himself, his (own), itself, one (to) another, our (thine) own (-selves), + that she had, their (own, own selves), (of) them (-selves), they, thyself, you, your (own, own conceits, own selves, -selves).}; self (in some oblique case or reflexive relation): - her (own), (of) him (-self), his (own), of it, thee, their (own), them (-selves), they.] 

And the last one is G2222, this one can get quite confusing at times, here's what the Strong's has to say about it: [zōē dzo-ay', From G2198 {zaō dzah'-o, A primary verb; to live (literally or figuratively): - life (-time), (a-) live (-ly), quick (quicken).}; life (literally or figuratively): - life (-time). Compare G5590 {psuchē psoo-khay', From G5594; breath, that is, (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from G4151 {pneuma pnyoo'-mah, a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively a spirit, that is, (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, daemon, or (divine) GOD, Christ’s spirit, the Holy spirit: - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind.}, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from G2222 {5594}, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew [H5315], [H7307] and [H2416]: - heart (+ -ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.}].

No, I over looked the must have of this passage it is within the context of this word, atonement G2643 which the Strong's gives as: [katallagē kat-al-lag-ay', From G2644 [which we have already covered]; exchange (figuratively adjustment), that is, restoration [G629] to (the divine) grace (favor, pales in light of grace): - atonement, reconciliation (-ing).] The restoration of humanity's origin and innocence, that being One with Him who created humanity as a divine thought before creation began and found in Genesis 1. All of Jesus' teachings are based on this one thing.

Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him.

 Within the passed few months (of 2021) a research specialist team, who has been seeking what was determined by these researchers to be missing from the Hebrew and other Alphabets has been discovered as a missing link of man to His Creator. This removed by the ancient Jewish theologians to avoid or to protect it from being misused by the common people and anti peoples, ie. foreign religions throughout time and human history. This GOD hinted at in Deu. 29:29 and Jesus as a mystery in Mark 4:11. Jesus Himself being formed in the womb of Mary carried this as a code within Himself as He also attested to on many occasions by confessing that 'He and the Father were One.' This being true of all of Man as contained in our DNA where it was hidden by GOD in us all, until resently. Over the years I have stated this as found in Genesis 1:26-27 where we have this: (KJV) Gen 1:26-27 "GOD (Elohiym, meaning a plural deity such as Father, Son and Spirit) said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So GOD created man in His Own image, in the image of GOD created He him; male and female created He them." 

Now Paul revealed much of this himself by way of inspiration just as we are to do also having been born from above as in "born again" as Jesus said to Nicodemus, and by John in his record of John 3:3, 7.

Now for the image: again drawing on Paul's writings 1Cor. 11:7, 15:49, 2Cor. 3:18, 4:4, Col. 1:15, 3:10; Then we find this in Hebrews 1:1-4 "GOD, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, Has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, Whom He had appointed heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the 'word of His power,' when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." Now those who meet the conditions as laid out by GOD receive of Him all things for the edification, evangelism and aid of all peoples as one class. The key is "word" of GOD in all matters. Not my thoughts or opinions nor any others. For where two or more are gathered as one there the LORD is among us.

Continuing yet again with, Our eternal link to GOD in Christ exposed by Him.

Before getting into the subject matter of this post (Romans 7:21-8:8, verse 4[*]) it maybe time to rehash or recap the foundation of my call to help all of humanity and what it is and where it can be found. My first encounter took place in the autumn of 1971, when the LORD called to 2Timothy 4:1-5. Then in the spring of 1985 we heard that He would train us within our own four walls and be able to put the scriptures together, and then in August of 2007 I heard, 'are you ready to take My yoke upon you and learn of Me (Mat. 11:29)?' Then shortly there after I was shown a vision of myself on a cross, when Jesus was laid over me there (John 8:12-30, 48-9:12, Gal. 2:20, Eph. 2, Col. 2:20; Hosea 6:1-3). Then as I picked up this blog I was shown that much of what is spoken of in the scriptures are not read as they were meant to be, because of the breaking of them into short sentences in place of complete thoughts and so I took up the practice of showing the complete thought as best that I could under the Spirits leading. I also discovered that most translations use word studies as their references of cross references and this practice leads to a hindrance of thought. It is for this reason that I try to show the meanings of many of these words with the Strong's references, as I have been taught by the Spirit.

Okay, I will use the ESV to the intro to this study and then shift to the Mirror Study Bible because of it's clearness of thought and word studies.

Romans 7:21-8:8 (ESV) "So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law 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 God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. 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." 

Now for the Mirror's text:

Romans 7:21-8:8 "It has become a predictable principle; I desire to do well, but my mere desire cannot escape the evil presence that dictates my actions. The real person that I am on the inside delights in the Law of GOD. (The Law proves to be consistent with my inner make-up.) There is another law though, (foreign to my design) the Law of sin, activating and enrolling the members of my body as weapons of war against the law of my mind. I am held captive like a prisoner of war in my own body. It doesn't matter how I [1]weigh myself I just do not measure up to expectations! The situation is absolutely desperate for humanity; Is there anyone who can deliver them from this death trap? (The word [1, G5005, from the base of G5007 talanton, derivative of the original form of τλάω tlao a sum of money, and a derivative of the base of G3984 peira, to test by piercing; ] talaiporos occurs only twice in the NT - Rom. 3:17 - and both times it is translated wretched!? It has two components, talanton, which is the word for a scale of balance, that which is weighed, a talent, and poros from peira, to test as in testing the weight of something.) Thanks be to GOD, this is exactly what He has done through Jesus Christ our Leader; He has come to our rescue! I am finally freed from this conflict between the law of my mind and the Law of sin in my body. (In the Incarnation, in a human body exactly like ours (in which the image and likeness exists,,,ie. the word of Gen. 1:26-27), Jesus balanced the scales! He is the true measure of the life of our design - He revealed and redeemed the image and likeness of GOD in us as in  a mirror! Look at Rom. 1:16-17, 3:24 and 27.) Now the decisive conclusion is this: In Christ, every bit of condemning evidence against us was cancelled. (This cancellation is found in Rom. 12:1-3. "Who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit." This sentence was not in the original text, but was in later copies from verse 4. The person who added this most probably felt that the fact of Paul's declaration of humanity's innocence restored had to be made subject again to a person's conduct. Religion under the Law felt more comfortable with the condition of personal contribution rather than the conclusion of what faith reveals. The "in Christ" revelation is key to GOD'S dealing with humanity. It is the PIN-code of the Bible [see 1Cor. 1:30 and Eph. 1:4].) The law of the Spirit is the liberating force of life in Christ. This leaves us with no further obligation to the Law of sin and death. Spirit has superseded the sin factor which enslaved the senses as the principle Law of our lives. (The law of the Spirit is righteousness by faith vs the Law of personal efforts and self righteousness which produces condemnation and spiritual death which is the fruit of the DIY tree of Gen. 3 and the Law of Moses, who wrote and imposed his outlook, influence in the first five books of the Jewish text.) The Law failed to be anything more than an instruction manual; It had no power to deliver us from the strong influence of sin holding us hostage in our bodies. GOD disguised Himself in His Son (the Elohim of Gen. 1:1) in this very domain where sin ruled flesh. The body He lived and conquered in was no different from ours. Thus sin's authority in the human body was condemned. (Hebrews 4:15, As High Priest He fully identifies with us in the context of our frail human life. Having subject it to close scrutiny, He proved that the human frame was master (has dominion) over sin. His sympathy with us is not to be seen as excusing weakness that are the result of a faulty design, but rather as a trophy to humanity. He is not an example for us but of us.) [* The righteousness promoted by the law (of faith and love) is now realized in us.] Our practical day-to-day life bears witness to spirit inspiration and not flesh dominion. Sin's symptoms are sponsored by the senses, a mind dominated by the sensual. Thoughts betray source; Spirit life attracts spirit thoughts. Thinking patterns are formed by reference, either the sensual appetites of the flesh and spiritual death, or the zoe-life and total tranquillity flowing from a mind addicted to spirit (faith) realities. A mind focused on the flesh (the sensual domain where sin held me captive) is distracted from GOD with n inclination to His life-laws. Flesh (self-righteousness) and spirit (faith righteousness) are opposing forces. (Flesh no longer defines us; His Faith does!) It is impossible for those immersed in the flesh to at the same time accommodate themselves to the opinion, desire and interest of GOD."

I will do a reveal of the Scriptures that speak of Jesus as He spoke to His disciples on their way home after His resurrection and more.

 We have been on this since March 20th as the inspirations keeps pilling up. While thinking about this I was watching Mike Huckabee's program when he had a magician who revealed the number one problem these days as 'listening.' Seems that many jump ahead of what is being said to form their own conclusion. Will that could be what this small passage is saying to us. This passage began at verse 12 of chapter 3 of 2Cor. and was carried forward through chapter 4 verse 6. This whole process actually started with 1Peter 1 and grew on from there to this post, again using the KJV translation before zeroing in on my subject matter in verse 2 of chapter 4 of 2Corinthinas, using the Mirror assisted Study Bible.

2Co 3:12-4:6 (KJV) "Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: For their minds were (are) blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But (For) even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. For we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; But by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For GOD (Elohim of Genesis 1:1), who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

Now in an effort to keep this short and to the point I shall take the Mirror Study Bible study of this passage beginning at verse 2 through 6. 

 2Corinthians 2:2-6 We have renounced hidden agendas (employing a little bit of the law in an attempt to "balance" out grace); We have distanced ourselves from any obscure [1]craftiness to manipulate GOD'S word to make it mean what it does not say! With truth on open display in us, we highly recommend our lives to everyone's [2]conscience! Truth finds its most authentic and articulate expression in human life. This beats any doctrine debate! (It is our passion for all to see what is so completely obvious in the mirror of our redeemed likeness and innocence! The word translated craftiness, is the word [1, G3834 from G3835 panourgos, from G3956 and G2041] panourgia and it is from (G3956) pas and (G2041) ergon, all manner of wearisome labor! [2]Conscience in Latin means to posite together; In the Greek, [2, G4893, suneidēsis, translated as conscience, from a prolonged form of G4894 from G4862 sun and G1492 eido] suneido, translated as joint seeing, which is the opposite of  (G86 which comes from G1 A or a and G1492 eido, meaning) Hades, not to see. [Mat. 11:23]) If our message seems vague to anyone, it is not because we are withholding something from certain people! It is just because some are so stubborn in their efforts to uphold an outdated system that they don't see it! They are all equally found in Christ but they prefer to remain lost in the cul-de-sac language of the Mosaic Law (this law only offers condemnation for all that adhere to it.)! The survival and self-improvement programs of the [1]religious systems of this world veil the minds of the unbelievers; Exploiting their ignorance about their true origin and their redeemed innocence (all the while claiming to be Christ-ones, ie...'Christians'). The veil of unbelief obstructs and obstructs a person's view and keeps them from seeing what the light of the true gospel so clearly reveals: the [2]glory of GOD is the image and likeness of our Maker redeemed in human form; This is what the gospel of Christ is all about. (The god of this [1, G165 aion, is from the same as G104 aei, regular] age refers to the religious systems and governing structures of this world's order. The unbelief that neutralizes Israel in the wilderness was the lie that they believe about themselves to this very day; "We are grasshoppers, and the 'enemy' is a giant beyond any proportion!" [Num. 13:33, Josh. 2:11, Heb. 4:6] "They failed to possess the promise due to their unbelief." The blueprint [2, G1391 from the base of G1380 dokeo, a prolonged form of a primary verb δόκω dokō] doxa, glory of GOD, is what Adam lost on humanity's behalf. [Look at Eph. 4:18]) Even though we recommended ourselves with great confidence, it is not with arrogance; We do not preach ourselves! We preach Christ Jesus the LORD; We are addicted to this gospel; Employed by Jesus for your benefit. The light source is founded in the same GOD Who said, "Light, Be!" (Gen. 1:1) And light shone out of darkness! He lit the lamp in our understanding so that we may clearly recognize the features of His likeness in the face of Jesus Christ reflected within us all! (The same Elohim (GOD, 'Father, Son and Spirit') Who bade light shine out of darkness has kindled a light in our hearts, whose shinning is to make known His glory as He reveals it in the features of Jesus Christ, the same Christ that is within us all!)

Now this may seem to some to be a repeat and so it is as we have all heard but have we really listened?

Continuing with, Our eternal link to GOD in Christ exposed by Him.

This morning in the wee hours of, the LORD spoke again of our liberty in Him and what it means for all of Humanity. The overall observation is from Galatians 4:21-5:1 as it reflects back to that of our last post from 2Corinthians 3:17. When we understand that the systems of religion and government were not of a spiritual nature but the desire of man as is religion (fiat) as expressed by Israel then we can begin to see what is a foot today in the exposing the corruption of both as one unit of mans design not GOD'S. For He told them this day choose you Me (Joshua 24;15) or a king and they chose the king system, over the spiritual, the kingdom of GOD within. It is the spiritual that was Jesus' assignment to bring it about and into play this He did by way of death of the flesh, that is to say man's rule by way of fiat politics and fiat religious orders of division in delusional mindsets. For by His so doing He brought into effect the 'liberty' that is so miss understood as shared with the earlier post. For this study I will again use the KJV drawn from Paul's writings and quote of Isaiah 54:3 in verse 27 and the Mirror Study Bible, as the LORD leads. We are currently witnessing this in real life in real time today as this time plays out before our eyes, in the operation of the global cabal rule over the liberal, left, the Fed. and Democratic party and indeed the world's systems, while the LORD Household retains its own.

Example of Hagar and Sarah

Gal 4:21-5:1 (KJV) "Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. (Married to the Mosaic Law, Isaiah 54:1) Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. 

Christ Has Set Us Free

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." 

The Mirror Study Bible's rendition of the same:

Gal. 4:21-5:1 Since you are so intrigued by the Law, please understand its prophetic message: The Law records the fact that Abraham had two sons: one by a slave girl (under the curse), the other by a free (in Christ) woman. The one is produced by the flesh (the DIY-tree of unbelief and heavy works of self efforts, politics and religion), the other by faith (the promise....ie, Christ) There is a parallel meaning in the story of the two sons: they represent two systems, works and grace. Sinai is an Arabian rocky mountain named after Hagar, (Outside the land of promise). Its associated with the Law of Moses and mirrors Jerusalem as the capital of Jewish legalism and religion. Hagar is the mother of the law of works (ie..condemnation). For the mother from above, the true mother of humanity is grace, the free Jerusalem; She is the mother of the promise (ie...Christ within us of Gen. 1:26-27, Hosea 6:2) For it is written, "Rejoice oh childless one! Erupt in jubilee! For though you have never known travail before, your children will greatly outnumber her who was married!" (Married to the Mosaic Law of Isaiah 54:1) We resemble Isaac we are begotten of faith, the promise is our parent. Just as when the flesh child persecuted the faith child, so now these Jerusalem Jews in their Christian disguise seek to harass you; How ever, Scripture is clear: "Expel the slave mother and her son (those of darkness such as those of the global cabal); The slave son cannot inherit with the (Household of Christ) free son." (In exactly the same way, rid your minds radically from the slave mother and child of that mentality. Light dispels darkness effortlessly.) Realize whose children we are my Brothers and Sisters: we are not children of the slave-mother, the Law, but children of the free mother; We are begotten of grace! Christ defines your faith; He is our freedom from anything from which the Law could never free you! Find your firm footing in this freedom. Do not let religion (or its fiat brother politics) trip you up again and harness you to a system of rules and obligations (of a fiat political system of Socialism, as a fiat copy of the heavenly realm)! (In this parallel, Christ represents Sarah, the faith-mother who birthed you in the resurrection. From the rock-hewn tomb representing Sarah's dead womb [1Pet. 1:3])

Continuing with, Our eternal link to GOD in Christ exposed by Him.

Just when one thinks that he is through with everything to LORD shows him something else about Himself that is inspirational and for all to know and come to an  understanding of. First let me say that I am not a scholar of letters or degrees of literature by no means. Heck I just made through high school by the skin of my teeth with a very low ranking among my peers of the day. I said that for this past week we have had two real scholars graduate from their respective schools, the first is our youngest grandson Cayed he got honors from the eight grade, then second is our granddaughter Emmaly she received honors with a degree in Bachelor of Science with a major in Exercise Science, with a certified trainer rating. Now before I get started let me warn you that this could be quite lengthy as it may take me sometime to share from the Scriptures what is in my heart today. And how it was acquired: To start with I turned to my carry around KJV Bible and looked again at John 3 and the LORD'S discourse with Nicodemus as witnessed to by John in chapter 3:5-21, which we shared earlier in this blog. Then I turned to E-sword's thought for the today from 2Cor. 3:17, and read it on my cellphone. And while on my cell I looked at Facebook and saw a post on Congress woman Omar which the LORD had to me say this; She reflects the deep corruption of mindset by way of false teachings of an unregenerated soul. What the religious world calls lost, when in all reality all that Adam lost was the glory that surrounded him and the woman that GOD made from him. As she lost the glory first which Adam knew, as he saw it disappear. He then had a choice to flow suit or keep the glory, the rest is history, there for our learning and understanding. Which clearly this child's history lacks. As she reflects the perversion of mindset so clearly. Just as Jesus explained to the priest Nicodemus, just as John recorded in chapter 3 of his accurate first hand account having been witness of the event. This brought about this post. First a repeat of John 3 and then the comment of E-swords daily scripture post of 2Corinthians 3:17 and what I saw at that point. And as is my usual practice I shall draw from the full thought of Scriptures to do this so please bear with me.

John 3:3, 4-8, 9-15, 16-21 (KJV; most of this discourse is in Red as it is Jesus speaking) "Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again (Gen. 3:15), he cannot see the kingdom of God (Gen. 2).' 

Nicodemus saith unto him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" Jesus answered, 'Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit (the death of Jesus is where humanity's life force of water and blood were spilled by the piercing of His side, just as when woman was formed from Adams side in Gen. 2), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.' Nicodemus answered and said unto him, "How can these things be?" Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil (the lost glory of Adam's doings of Gen. 3). For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.'

Then 2Corinthians 3:17 goes from the full thought of verses 12-17 which reads as flows:

2Co 3:12-18 (KJV) "Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: For their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty [1, G1657 eleutheria, freedom, from G1658 eleutheros, unrestrained (to go at pleasure), that is, (as a citizen) not a slave (whether freeborn or manumitted), from the alternate of G2064; erchomai, from the middle voice of a primary verb (used only in the present and imperfect tenses, the others being supplied by a kindred [middle voice] word, ἐλεύθομαι eleuthomai or ἔλθω elthō; which do not otherwise occur); to come or go (in a great variety of applications, literally and figuratively) to reset ]. But [For] we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image (Gen. 1:26-27, the reset of libery) from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD." 

Wow this did not take as long as I had first thought it to.

Our eternal link to GOD in Christ exposed by Him.

A friend shared this on Facebook and it just fits me to a tee so I am sharing it, with some editing on my part for me:

Everything danged for me when I realized that I was One with the true Source of Light & Life this morning that He told me we are One, then I saw where this was true from the very moment of birth forward. This changed everything even more when I saw that just as I was One with GOD no longer under the misconception of being separated- so also was I One with those around me and they one with me. The structural idea of man I once lived that kept me hoop-jumping and busy, but never took me or anyone else where we wanted to be, new. I won't apologize for enjoying the ripple effects as man made paradigms and projected distortions of an angry wrath-full deity tumble to piles of rubble as others walk away from religious captivity through His efforts in me and then through me herein.

I sure don't see myself as smarter or more 'woke' than other in any way. If anything, I see all my brothers and sisters on the same journey, but may for the moment be at varying points along the same way. What may work for and satisfy one, may not be what works for or satisfy another- and there's no judgment in that...like the book by John Bunyan, Pilgrims Progress reveals, at least not from my end. I simply share what works for me. It's not meant to offend anyone at all, but to possibly encourage others who might find this blog or have questions, and are now seeing glimpses of new things which may at times seem better than what they've known.

Like Paul, Peter, John and a host of others, I'm willing and able to learn from anyone along this amazing journey we call life, as are most of the people who interact frequently with me on my Facebook page or in messenger....but none of us will ever consider going backwards to places we willingly left behind to joyfully walk this path with the LORD. If you see things here that offend your views, it's not intentional nor my desire. My posts have always been 'public' and I fully understand if you undo me, unfriend, or block me so you won't have to see them. If you choose to stay, and I do truly hope you do, just know you might get a little 'rubble dust' on you from me from time to time- not just from me, but many around the world experiencing the beautiful mystical things now, as well as things waiting ahead that weren't visible from back there. May Love and childlike awe lead us on our journey, and may we never lose the wonder of it all.

Continuing with the continuing of Removing the Veil of religious Distortions and Disceptions:

This morning while I was reading the study outline for today's lesson, on my E-sword account, I discovered something of an inspiration and it is for this reason that I am sharing this with you. This comes from Paul's letter to the Corinthians in the second letter chapter 3 and for this study I will pull from verses 4 through 11 though the subject targeted matter is in verses 7 through 11 and pull also from verse 18 as well. I shall again copy and paste from the KJV and American Standard Bibles as the introduction to the Mirror Study Bible's out line, as coming from a renewed mindset as spoken of in Romans 12:1-3 written by Paul's hand.

2Co 3:4-6, 7-11, 18 (KJV) "And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 

But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

2Co 3:4-6, 7-11, 18 (ASV) "And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; Who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 

For if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which glory was passing away:  How shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory? For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth. For if that which passeth away was with glory, much more that which remaineth is in glory. 

But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit." 

Okay, now for the Mirror Study Bible's rendering of this area:

2Cor. 3:4-6, 7-11, 18 Christ is our proof of our persuasion about you (manly) [1]before GOD. (The Greek preposition [1, G4314 translated to] pros, means towards; ie..face to face. see also 2Cor. 1:18, 19, and 20.) We have not [1]reached this conclusion by any merit of our own! Of GOD'S doing are we made competent! (The word, [1, G3049, Middle voice from G3056 logos, reason] logitsomai, means to reckon, making a calculation to which there can only be one logical conclusion.) It is GOD'S signature in our spirit that authorizes and authenticates us as New Testament ministers. We are not qualified by a legal document endorsed by a fellow human. The letter (of the Mosaic Law) is the administration of death (ignorance and spiritual bondage); It is the Spirit (of grace) that quickens life.

Because of its prophetic purpose even the old administration of death, carved in stone evidenced a glimpse of glory; For a brief moment the face of Moses shone with such brilliance that the people of Israel could not (more like, would not) even look at his face. The fact that this glory reflected in Moses was for a brief and fading confirmation of the ministry of the letter had a "sell by" date and that it was destined [1]to be brought to naught. (It served merely to emphasize the failure of the flesh to access the glory that Adam had lost (to sin, it became sin) on humanity's behalf. The word, [1, G2673, From G2596, down ward, and G691, to be idle, From G692] katarego, is derived from (G2596) kata, meaning intensity, and (G692) argos , meaning labor, denotes that the law of self works would be rendered entirely useless; Thus, the new arrangement would free humanity from all self effort to attempt to improve what GOD had already perfected (Gen. 2) in Christ. Consider the contrast of verse 18; From a mere glimpse of a veiled and fading glory to unveiling gazing into the face of glory as in a mirror and a transformed life radiating the same glory of Genesis 2, renewed or restored by mindset, ones perspective of thought.) How much more radiant would the ministry of the Spirit be? If the ministry of condemnation had a glimpse of glory, the glory that the ministry if righteousness now communicates far beyond any comparison! (There are two administrations: the one confirms humanity's guilt because of Adam; The other confirms humanity's innocence because of Christ! The one was upheld by the Mosaic Law; The other is sustained by the resurrected life of the Spirit. Humanity's standing before GOD is restored to that of it's origin, in Genesis 2; Where righteousness first reigned and then came in by merit of the cross, righteousness which far outweighs any attempt or dependency on the flesh to compete! Nothing that anyone can do can improve their standing before GOD!) What seemed glorious and important at the time has been reduced to total obscurity and irrelevance. The fragile and fading glory of the flesh is dwarfed into insignificance by the unfading glory of the resurrection life of the Spirit! (It being the original design as first seen in Genesis 2. The ministry of the New Testament reveals humanity's oneness and permanence. In Christ the idea of distance and delay is cancelled, whereas in religion any religion it remains a distant future some day or time kind of thing. Now verse 18)

For we all, with new understanding, see ourselves in Him as in a mirror. The days of window-shopping are over! In Him every face is [1]unveiled. In [2]gazing with wonder at the [5] blueprint of GOD'S display in humanity's form (His eternal image, ie..Gen. 1:26-27), we suddenly realize that we are looking into a mirror, where every feature of His [3]Image articulated in Christ is [2]reflected within us! The Spirit of the LORD engineers this radical [4]transformation; We are led [6]from an inferior [5]mind-set to the revealed [5]endorsement of our authentic identity. ( The word, [1, G343, from G303 (in the sense of reversal) and G2572] anakalupto, is from (G303) ana, a preposition denoting upward, to return again, and (G2572) kalupto, to uncover, unveil. The word, [2, G2734, middle voice from a compound of G2596 and a derivative of G3700 (compare G2072)] katoptrizomai, means to gaze into a reflection, to mirror oneself. Paul used [4, G] metamorphumetha as a present Passive indicative form (G3339 from G3326 and G3445 )metamorphoo, (G3326) meta, together with, and (G3445 morphoo) (G3444) morphe, form. [The word commonly translated sin, [1, G266 From G264, from G1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G3313] hamartia , is from (G1) ha , a negative or without and (G3313) meros, allotted portion of form; Thus, a distorted form, which is the opposite of metamorphe; with form. The word meros is the sum of morphe.] Now, with unveiled faces we are gazing at the glory of the LORD as in a mirror and metaporhe happens - image and likeness awakens within us!

The word, [3, G1504] eikon, translated as exact resemblance, image and likeness; eikon always assumes a prototype, a weak copy, that which it not merely resembles, but from that which it is drawn from; [5, G1391 from the base of G1380] doxa, glory, translates as mind-set, or opinion, from (G1380) dokeo, authentic, blueprint-thought. Changes 'from glory to glory,' apo doxes eis doxan; (G1519 translated, to) eis, is a point reached in conclusion; [6, G575 translated as from and by] apo, away from, meaning away from the glory of our original design that now defines us.Two glories are mentioned in this chapter; The glory of the flesh, which was veiled, because of it's fading kind of response represented by Moses and the unfading, unveiled glory of GOD'S I mage and likeness, now mirrored in the face of Christ redeemed in us,,,ie. humanity. Look at chapter 4:4-7 shared elsewhere in this blog.

[ Note, the Greek word translated "from" in this verse is not the same as the word translated "from" in Romans 1:17, where Paul says the unveiling of GOD'S righteousness is from faith to faith. Here he does not use the word apo, away from, but the preposition, ek, which always denotes source or origin.]

Some translations of this scripture read, "we are being changed from glory to glory." This would suggest that change is gradual and will more than likely take a lifetime, which was the typical thinking that trapped Israel for forty years in the wilderness of unbelief! It is reflected in all religious forms and systems still to this very day. We cannot become more than what we already are in Christ as the anointed ones. We do not grow more complete; We simply grow in knowledge and awareness of our completeness! [look at Colossians 3:10] How long does it take the beautiful swan to awaken to the truth of its design? The ugly duckling was an illustration of an illusion! Whatever it was that endorsed the 'ugly duckling' mindset, co-died together within Christ! In the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, GOD did not redeem a compromised replica of you; He rescued the original, blueprint you, created in His radiance of a mirrored likeness! Any other 'self' you're trying to find or esteem will disappoint! Look to Romans 6:11, Reckon your 'DIY-law of works-self' dead, and your redeemed self co-raised and co-seated together within Christ! This is freedom indeed! Galatians 2:19-20; 20, So here I am dead and alive at the same time! I'm dead to the old me I saw trying to be and alive to the real me which is Christ in me! Co-crucified, now co-alive! What a glorious entanglement! I was in Him in His flesh death; Now He is in me in my life! For the first time I'm free to be me in my skin, immersed in His faith in our joint-sonship, bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh (of Genesis 2:23)! He loves me and believes in me! He is GOD'S gift to me! ( The verb sustauroo, is in the Perfect tense, indicating that not only was I crucified with Christ in the past, but I am existing now in that present condition. How can any human effort improve on that?! Look again at Hosea 6:2 and Ephesians 2:5 also Romans 7:6. For now we are fully released from any further association with a life directed by the rule of the Mosaic Law, we are dead to that which once held humanity captive, free to be slaves to the newness of spirit-spontaneity rather than age old religious rituals, imitating the mere face value of the written code. The moment one exchanges spontaneity with rules, the edge of romance is compromised!)

Now you all know what I saw in that study....

Continuing with the continuing of Removing the Veil of religious Distortions and Disceptions:

This morning while reading some posts on Facebook I shared this: Does no one understand that we each are living stones of the mysterious Temple of GODS creation? We are of His Spirit way, always have been always will be. A man made buildings made of earthly materials is but a tomb for the ignorant to dwell in, by the buckets full, or put it this way as deadness of stones Just quarried not realizing that they are chips of the original Rock. That rock being the Rock of the Ages. There is more unbelief talk on here these days. People try to have it both ways from Sunday? Why? Ignorance of GOD, is the answer that comes to me. Ignorance: a deep lack of the required knowledge of GOD. 

A friend shared this: "An alien-ated mindset is any type of thinking that 'we' are in one place - and - 'GOD'....is somewhere else. We are never an alien or an orphan. We were never separated from GOD - except in our own mind - and we were programmed to believe that by sincere people who didn't know the truth of their own authentic origin. We ARE (Say it....I AM) a unique extended expression of the True Source of Light and Life and all that is holy and divine.....welcome home....to your 'right' mind." Written by Dave Carringer.

Now for the rest of the story from John 3:16-21 and I will pull from the JKV first then from the Mirror Study Bible.

John 3:16-21 (KJV) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

Now for the Mirror Study Bible:

John 3:16-21 "The entire [5]cosomos is the object of GOD'S affection! And He is not about to [1]abandon His creation - the [2]gift of His Son is for humanity to realize their origin in Him who mirrors their [3]authentic birth - begotten not of the flesh but of the Father! [See John 1:13] In this [4]persuasion the life of the ages [4]echos within the individuals and announces that the days of regret and sense of [1]lost-ness are over! (The KJV reads, "Whoever [4]believes in him shall not [1]perish but have eternal life." The same word translated in the KJV to perish (G622 from G575 and the base of G3639) is translated in Luke 15:24 to be lost. In order to underline the value of the individual, Jesus tells the famous three parables of Luke 15 of the lost sheep, coin and son; Now all found, safe and sound! In everyone He repeats the word [1, G622] lost, apollumi, to lose, to emphasize the fact that you cannot be lost unless you belong - to begin with! The word [1] apollumi , also suggests a sense of uselessness; That which comes to ruin and amounts to nothing! The word [2, G1325] didomi, to give, in this case to give something to someone that already belongs to them; Thus, to return. The fact that they already are His own, born from above, they have their origin of beginning (Gen. 1:26-27) and their being in Him (Gen. 2:6-7) is now confirmed in their realizing it! He is the "only begotten," [3, G3439 from G3441 and G1096] monogenes; Begotten - as in the authentic original mold. See the notes on John 1:12 posted elsewhere in this blog. The word [4, G2192 translated in the KJV as, have] echo, to hold, or embrace, as in echo. The word, [5, G2889 from the base of G2865 to tend, to take care of] kosmos in the NT refers to the entire human family.) GOD has no intention to condemn anyone - He sent His Son, not to be the Judge (man's fallen mindset judges him already) but the Savior of the world. Faith and not the flesh defines us! In the persuasion of our authentic sonship there is no [1]separation or rejection! For someone to prefer not to embrace this is to remain under their own judgment sustained by their futile efforts to define themselves through personal performances (...ie. religious practices.) In their stubborn unbelief they [1]reject what is revealed and redeemed in the Name of the Son, begotten only of the Father and not the flesh. (The word [1, G2919] krino, means to separate; To reject, to judge, to condemn. In naming His Son Jesus, the Father openly announced His resolve, which has always been to rescue and redeem His image and likeness in incarnate sonship (which we all contain within us). As Paul says in Ephesians 3:15, "Every family in heaven and on earth originates in Him; His is humanity's family name and He remains the authentic identity of every nation." Also in Titus 2:11, "The grace of GOD shines as bright as day making the salvation of humanity undeniably visible." Then in Galatians 1:16, "This is the heart of the gospel that I proclaim; It began with an unveiling of sonship in me, freeing me to announce the same sonship in the masses of non-Jewish people. I felt no immediate urgency to compare notes with those who were familiar with Christ from a mere historic and human point of view." See noties on Hebrews 1:1-3 posted elsewhere in this blog.) and this is the [1]crisis: the light is here right now, yet people are so addicted to their own darkness that they prefer a life of [2]labors, annoyances and hardships! (The word, [1, G2920, KJV's condemnation] krisis, is often translated judgment. The word for evil, [2, G4190 from G4192 toil or angush] poneros, translated, full of hardships annoyances and labors.) When someone is engaged in something [1]worthless, they often fear exposure and feel threatened by the light! (The word, [1, G5337 used in the KJV as evil] phaulos means worthless; Also used by James in 3:16, all kinds of worthless pursuits.) I have good news for you Nicodemus! You won't ever need to hide in darkness again! He who discovers the [1]poetry of truth, faces the light unashamedly - his lifestyle boldly displays the workmanship of union with GOD! His works speak for themselves - "Made in heaven - wrought in GOD!" (Like Nicodemus there are many following at a "comfortable" distance hidden in disguise - they too are invited to turn and face the redeeming light of the Love of GOD!)
