Consciousness

Right now I’m more interested in the conscious awareness that surrounds the Loaves and Fishes than I am in the supply itself. It was the Spirit of God at work. I know I have the same mind – individually – as Jesus.

What is left to kill us?

Heal Yourself, Passing on

IF INDEED IT IS TRUE WHAT JESUS DID, THAT…..
1. sin,
2. satan,
3. the law and
4. death are all destroyed and done away with. What is left to kill us !?

Why do we feel we still have to die? Some interpretations are contradicting the truth that is written. The undeniable truth is that….

đź”»He took sins away.
#1 is done ➖“And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭ASV‬ ~ also 1Jn. 8

đź”»He destroyed the devil.
#2 is done ➖“Since the children, as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood, Jesus himself became like them and shared their human nature. He did this so that through his death he might destroy the Devil, who has the power over death,”.
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2:14‬ ‭GNB‬‬

đź”»He fulfilled the law.
#3 is done ➖““Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to #fulfill the law.
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

đź”»He made the law obsolete.
“In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first #obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭8:13‬ ‭NKJV‬.

đź”»Then He abolished the law
“having #abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, #the_law_of_commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

đź”»At last He abolish death
#4 is done ➖“but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭NKJV‬

DEATH was swallowed up in victory of the Jesus resurrection from the dead. “The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:55-56‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

ll Tim.1-10 says, ‘Christ has ( past tense) abolished death and #brought_life_and_immortality_to_LIGHT_THROUGH_THE_GOSPEL. Meaning we have it, but are not aware that we do have it. So He has enlightened us to this fact.

đź’Ą #ABOLISH BY DEFINITION MEANS…
To do away with; put an end to; annul.
To destroy completely. Hmmm 🤔

We died once with Christ, never to die again. Not even a physical death; if we can believe.

Spreading the Gospel

I just can’t seem to put my Bible down! Lol ! It’s jammed packed full of so much exciting stuff – which I’ve read a thousand times!! But the Lord is able to reach me (despite all my distractions) so much better now. Many, many MANY times I get ‘understandings’ that haven’t yet found their place in language.

Paul’s teaching

Application of Scriptures

Yes, I’m still ‘camping out’ with Paul. Thought of moving on, but when he addresses himself to my lowliest, most trivial, blameworthy THOUGHT !! implying that we’d better bring Every Single One Of Them to the obedience of Christ — well, I’m hanging out here a lil bit longer, thank you:
2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
YES!!!
