Spiritual Truth #8

<< < (3/3)

I know all truths are important, but this is a truth that really stays front and center with me.  After many years of studying and buying books on the physical finds of biblical historic proofs in the form of relics and archaelogical digs, I now have come to the point that I realize that whether anything in the OT actually happened in the flesh or not is irrevelant to me.

It all happened for my admonition.

For me to see the spiritual significance and realizing in my being that I am being called by God and given a rare ability to see what is unseen.  To realize this bible or scriptures are given to us to deceive the world in its carnality and to bring to truth those who are given spiritual eyes and ears to see the Words that Daniel could not see.  To be able to compare spiritual with spiritual.  To understand that "the Words that Christ is speaking to us are spirit and life"  When we know that they are spirit then and only then can we have life.
 
Now I see that I am Adam, Eve, Abram, Abraham, Issac, Ishmael, Jacob, Essau, Joseph, Joseph's brothers, Moses, Aaron, Korah, King Saul, David, Judas, Peter, John the Baptist, etc. All the way to Jesus, realizing that it is Christ in me that is the hope of glory.

Jesus is the first fruit of all who are called, chosen, and faithful, and I know that I cannot be faithful unless I can wear that coat of many colors which is being able to realize that I am seeking that mark set before me which is the anointing of Christ in me.  As long as I continue to study that physical Jesus that walked the earth 2000 years ago, I will always keep Christ separate from me.  I will have the idol in my mind of a physical man whether he is handsome or ugly it is an idol of the heart that must go before I can attain to the truth of Christ in me not out there.

God is working his plan to work out the exact way he desires for it to work out, but the little twists and turns of the journey are all for your sakes.  For my sake.  Personally.  When you realize that He is speaking directly to you. Showing you who you are and what you must go through to graduate first in this age.  Just like Robert De Niro in Taxi when he says "Are you talking to me?"  The answer is yes.  He is talking to you about you.

Be encouraged.  It is all about you and it is all working to your good.

I cannot be faithful unless I can wear that coat of many colors....Adam, Eve, Abram, Abraham, Issac, Ishmael, Jacob, Essau, Joseph, Joseph's brothers, Moses, Aaron, Korah, King Saul, David, Judas, Peter, John the Baptist, etc. All the way to Jesus,.... that whether anything in the OT actually happened in the flesh or not is irrevelant....

Hi! "mharrell08"

Yes I would love to share with you how I see myself in OT stories but it has gotten me into a lot of trouble on this forum with sisters Arcturus and Karen. Unfortunately I saw myself in Ezekiel 3 especially. I still follow though with what I sincerely believe to be proof of my love of God in obeying His command, but I'm reluctant to share it less it causes me any more trouble.

Dreadful how misinterpreted words can lead to alienation.

I'm sorry though I'd love to share it.

God bless.

Love in Christ Jesus.

Roy.

Hello Roy,

I believe I know what you are referring to with the Ezekiel 3 reference and the original thread you started a while back. I looked back at it and can understand what you as well as the others are saying. Let's look at these scriptures:

Matt. 7:5

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye

Luke 6:42

...Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye

Matt. 5:14

Ye are the light of the world...

Matt 5:13

Ye are the salt of the earth...

I'm sorry that you took offense to "hypocrite" but I believe the others were only going off these scriptures. This was not a personal attack on you, but rather our Lord's words to each and every one of us. The most important aspect of these verses is not the use of "hypocrite" but rather casting the beam out of our own eyes and then "we shall see clearly" to cast out of our brother's eye. The most important thing is to "see clearly" which includes repentance and overcoming. This is a life long endeavor that even Ray himself is still going through. Upon the first resurrection will the "elect" be able to "clearly see" and then with Christ to lead the rest of humanity to "see clearly" through judgement. But as of now we are salt & the light of the world. Neither of these qualities makes a lot of noise if you catch my drift.  ;)

Remember all the OT scriptures are for our admonition but also have been fulfilled in Christ.

Luke 24:44-45

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures

It may be a good question to ask Ray if you require further understanding. But to get back to the original Spiritual Truth#8 thread, I do see how Ezekiel is applied to one's life so you make an excellent observation. And maybe "how" it is applied to your life is where you can seek His guidance. Hope this helps and if not, PM me and we can talk some more.
