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"

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.
