Grace N Truth

To reckon it so is to see and believe the truth. Likewise “reckon” ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:11 Reckon = To take into account, to make account of. Some find it easier to believe they will never die than to believe they are dead already! KNOWING THIS, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin MIGHT be destroyed, that henceforth we should not SERVE sin. Romans 6:6 Without knowing one remains a servant to sin. For the Truth is what will make one free!     And have put on the new man, which is renewed in KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that created him: .... Col 3:10 Such strong words to see, understand and most of all walk by. So many times I see my old man in the mirror and wonder why WHY. I tried the way of name it claim it .... I tried the way of praying it through ... I tried the way of doing good more than evil. And all the time my old man smiled more and more at me.

And they were both naked (Strong's H6174 - `arowm), the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Gen 2:25 Now the serpent was more subtil (Strong's H6174 - `arowm) than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Gen 3:1 Naked ..... subtil. Both different words in our language yet in Hebrew one and the same word. 'arowm, to be (or make) bare... (through the idea of smoothness) to be cunning (usually in a bad sense). The next thought is talking. The woman is talking with a serpent. hmmmmmmmmmmm WHAT! only a serpent talked? or did the woman know serpent tongue to talk to the serpent? The FIRST communion we read about is between a Woman and a serpent. Yes Adam talked with God; but the first communion between dust of the earth was indeed a woman and a serpent. Ohhhhhhhhhhh there might have been much talk between Adam an

"...my brethren, ye...are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.  What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law...” Romans 7:4 -7 “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.”  Romans 7:12  “For we know that the law is spiritual...” Rom. 7:14  "...The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 2 Corinthians 3:6  “...the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones...” 2 Corinthians 3:7  “But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should se

The lampstand did not need to be beaten to show forth the Light of God. The lampstand took a beating to bring forth Life to all men. For the beating of the gold points to the sufferings of Christ ... Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort around Him. They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They spat on Him, and took the reed and began to beat Him on the head. Matthew 27: 26- 30 Just as the gold was pure already He was pure in all His ways. Yet for the sake of humankind He bore much beatings to be the Light of the world, whereby all can receive the Holy Ghost. The Life within Him that came forth to all that receive Him. In him was lif

31 “You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and flowers shall be of one piece. 32 And six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. 33 Three bowls shall be made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower—and so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand. 34 On the lampstand itself four bowls shall be made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower. 35 And there shall be a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches that extend from the lampstand. 36 Their knobs and their branches shall be o
