. . .

When a man and a woman are united in sexual intercourse.....They are one flesh, in that relationship, you see.  And that is why you’re not suppose to fornicate with prostitutes.  Because when you’re joined to a prostitute you’re one flesh too, and that’s an abomination.  You cling to your wife, not your wife and your girl friend and the local whore.  Your wife, because your one flesh, you see.

This is a great mystery it says.  But I’m speaking concerning Christ and His church.  The relationship of Christ with the church, it typified by the relationship of a loving husband and a loving wife in sexual intercourse.  When they are so emotionally intertwined with one another, that they are literally one flesh.  This is the relationship we’re going to have with God.  Christ refers to the church as the Bride of Christ.

Song of Songs --  I believe it's very much like that.  I think to myself -- you know what?  God is like a "playa" in many ways: He comes and He goes.....  You never know when that Man's gonna return.   And You look at Him like, Who does this?   ;D  ;)

He's simply the best.  The Chieftest.  And He's my Friend.

God bless you, gk.

Living by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God and filling up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of his body, which is the church.

Hi gk,

I really think it is the effort, from the indwelling of the Spirit, to die to self, like Paul said, "I die daily," and "He must increase, but I must decrease." And what that means to me is leaving this world mentally/spiritually, and seeking the kingdom through pray, study and meditation.

Mat 6:33  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...

I believe we enter the heavenly realm when our mind is totally focused on spiritual things. The Spirit within needs to be fed to grow strong within us, as in pray, study and meditation and if we fall off it will fade and even go out in time, "do not quench the Spirit" (1Th 5:19).

But the more you do seek the more you feel Christ in your life. You know Christ is in you when you begin to say and do things that you know is above and beyond anything that you could/would have come up with, you KNOW it is Christ working in you.

mercy, peace and love
