The holy place is the operating theatre where they treat and heal us of the diseases of the soul that can be traced to the (spiritual) death that Adam partook of; that exposed us to a dominion called sin and death, and then necessitated the authoring of the faith of the Son of God; the lifestyle for freedom from sin and death.
The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Faith to weigh and filter various thoughts from conversations under the sun, on another blessed day. Nothing heals us from being insecure like walking from Faith – through Hope – unto Charity; like adding virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and Charity—to our faith.
Christ is the true economy for the soul of every believer who wants to escape corruption. In His Faith is a program of life and godliness that separates us from this world — and make us godly.
Having loved us first, our Lord Jesus desires and deserves an unfeign love from us; a love fueled by His faith or by a constant supply of strength that can be fetched from the word that dispenses such counsels, and the following attempts to pay homage to this.
The Lord is presently raising many servants of righteousness in the Church; those whose first goal in life is to become priests; even kings of Righteousness and peace. What guarantees this separation is the gospel of Christ; the revelations that render sin (i.e. this world) naked; that exposes how it secured our love and trust, how we can break our covenant with it and enter seasons of cutting covenants with the Lord.
If a soul can hold or keep grudge for 53 years, we should be able to keep or hold unto faith for much longer; unto the end or until we lay hold on eternal life? What the faith that is in Christ does is to bring us there; to a place where we would take seriously the feasts of faith to Charity, so we can be empowered to live (in our flesh) by the faith of the Son.
Faith, hope and Charity are dimensions in Christ where we break our agreements with this world and thereby fetch true riches. They are seasons of being empowered to understand Christ, through obedience to the Faith; until we are born as children in the Kingdom (Rom. 16:25-26, 1Jn. 2:12).
The day that a believer dares to start living in the sight of the Lord is the day he starts counting as losses, things that were gain to him while he was in love with this world; while on a self-seeking adventure with the life-draining life that exists without (or outside) Christ (Phil. 3:7).
The greatest hope that a believer can/should have today, is that of inheriting God’s life or of bringing it into his flesh (Tit. 1:1-2/3:7, Rom. 5:2b). The greatest lifetime thanksgiving that should accompany this, is concerning the opportunity given to us to hear the voice of the Son of God on this so great inheritance.
The following is another attempt to use the goggle of Christ’s Faith to weigh all conversation and filter all thoughts under the sun.
Keeping the precepts of Faith unto Charity cleanses us from our known and unknown love for this world and rids us of our known and unknown fears, so Christ can come indwell us via His Faith. When every revelation of Christ that comes our way becomes a commandment we keep, then inheriting the gospel of Christ or living by the power of God actually becomes inevitable.
When we attempt to look at others with the eyes or enlightenment of Charity, we would see differently! Light is sweet to the eyes, and also is liberty to a soul whose warfare over a season has just been accomplished.
