Thoughts

Bless our Light, Life and LOVE.
Just a few thoughts I have written down and have been chewing upon ....
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1,2
The word man  (male/female) comes from the term manas, which means the thinker. Man is the ONLY creature that has the power to do, speak, and think that which is right and pleasing for it's self!
When Romans 12:1 and 2 comes to be the Christ (Logos/Light) within transforms and renews the mind. If one does not develop this will power built in the Logos/Light, then the mind is carried off by the tempting serpent which is cursed to crawl on the ground, in the dust (remain mired in the mud of the lower nature body temple, swayed only by it’s untrained passionate nature).
---------------------

But his delight is in the WORD/Logos/Light (law) of the LORD; and in his WORD doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Ps 1:2,3

HMMMMMMmmmmm Why would man be compared to a tree?

Man has its roots in the ground (the lower nature body-temple), it’s trunk above the ground in the air, and its branches higher in the air (towards the sky) that soak up sunlight and convert this light into life-given energy.

We can look at the MIND (SOUL) of man as a TREE!  The two trees in the Garden (although they are really one tree as they both are in the midst of the garden) shows which direction the mind of man journey towards.

The tree of KNOWLEDGE of good and evil, is a tree symbolizing knowledge, or the ability to know, through experience. And the Tree of Life, which is also in the midst of the Garden, is the mind which KNOWS no longer through good and evil, but comes to KNOW by Him (Wisdom/Light).

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (from being a slave to the lower nature/carnal mind). John 8:32

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:16,17
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.1 John 2:20,21
--------------
“And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt where also our Lord was crucified.” Revelations 11:8
So hmmmmmmmmm in Revelations 11:8 the crucifixion is symbolic rather than literal because the literal place of the crucifixion is Jerusalem.

So hmmmmmmmmm Sodom and Egypt are symbolic of excesses in doing things for ones own delights and selfish desires (carnal mind)

So we MUST know the Lord’s crucifixion is symbolic of our own purification by death of the carnal mind.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; .... Hebrew 2:14
Now this DEVIL is not some winged creature .... it is the carnal mind (Romans 8:6) that at one time had power over us but the Word of Life destroyed its power over us!
Now we are to be "....spiritually minded which is life and peace....."
How does one become spiritually minded?

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1,2
To repent is to turn from desire to His will
To repent is to change one's MIND
To repent is to look to others ... NOT SELF
Lower nature: desire, intellect, reaction (the first Adam or humankind in the lower nature).
Higher nature: will, wisdom, action (the second Adam or Jesus Christ, the higher self manifested ).

Jesus the Christ said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All." The Gospel of Thomas, Saying 2.

The name of the first book in the Bible is Genesis, which means "source or origin." It is therefore in this book that we can find the answer to the two most asked questions that occupy the minds of many people today. One is the origin of the universe, and the other is the origin of man. The law of generation is undoubtedly one of the mysteries in human consciousness. Science has discovered many of the secrets of nature, but when it comes to the secret of Life the answers become much more illusive. The search for the origin of Life and therefore of man, has always been conducted on the material level. For this reason man studies atoms and cells and DNA, because he considers these form a part of the building blocks of life. Of course in a sense they do, but we must go far beyond the material world to touch the true origin of Life. The theologians and Bible teachers have added to the confusion by suggesting that the account of creation in Genesis chapter 1, and man’s sub

Kingdom sons

Bless Father .... Woke up to this Word "You have dominion over everything that is NOT of the Kingdom." And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let him (Father is NOT a them) have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Gen 1:26 So let us look at what it is we have dominion over .... 1) The fish of the sea 2) The fowl of the air 3) The cattle 4) The earth 5) Every creeping thing So the man which is spirit is who I am for I am not this body BUT I am spirit .... ONE IN Father and ONE WITH Father. Let us look at 1) The fish of the sea. The fish of the sea are species of fish that group together and if you are not IN their group you are not their species. Well look at this world it is very much GROUPS of people that to be in that group you have to hold to their 'belief,' 'doctrine,' and 'tradition.' Th

Patience

 Bless the LORD for His Word of life that truly MAKES us free! Was chewing on--->My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:2-4 The word 'patience' also means 'perseverance.' So we MUST let 'perseverance/patience' have her PERFECT work or we will NOT be mature in Christ. Brother to know we are the Christ identity is having allowed perseverance/patience have her PERFECT work IN US. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: BUT REJOICE, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:12,13 YES .... REJOICE for when trials come our way, we are to allow them to reveal the glory of Father IN us. Let u
