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.
