Get Wisdom #38,

  Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom), For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the Principal thing. And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  I recently returned from Charleston, SC for my great-grandson's baby shower. Now, I wish to continue learning about Wisdom. In Lev.15-17, we read about the Passover, by the blood of a lamb or goat. Two of these animals were involved. The Priest laid his hands on one lamb and cast it out into the Wilderness to never return. Our Passover Lamb did return. The other lamb was slain and its blood was a covering for all the people. God said that this was to be a festival which is carried out forever.

  God's Church celebrates the Feast of the Resurrection (Easter Sunday), but we fail to understand what Jesus said in Luke22:1(Amp), while awaiting His crucifixion. Jesus told His followers that He was there for the Passover. He was crucified on the Passover and was raised on the following Sunday morning. He was the Lamb Who took away the sins of the people and He was the Lamb, Whose Blood was the Blood of our Passover forever.

  We were spiritually dead, but we were raised with Him from that spiritual death and made new creation children of God. We were spiritually dead in trespass and sin and our Redemption was paid for by the Blood of the Lamb of God. If you read Deut.28, then you'll realize just how much we were redeemed from. The Curse of the Law has to do with our lives, while we're still here in the flesh.

  We cannot lost faith in His Blood to take care of us here, not only when we get to Heaven. Lev.17:14(Amp) tells us that, "The life of all flesh, is in the blood." Even though we're born-again and have new Life in Jesus Christ, we're still living in flesh and blood bodies. None of us have lived a perfect life in this flesh, no matter how born-again we are. We're still being "transformed by the renewing of our minds, " like Rom.12:2 says. Until our minds have been renewed, we still don't walk in perfection or maturity of the spirit. The Blood of Christ keeps us clean from all of this, as we grow.

Paul wrote about our taking Communion in 1Cor.11, telling the Church that, "We should judge ourselves before receiving Communion. He tells us that if we hold unforgiveness or malice against anyone, then we should make amends and repent, before taking Communion." Paul said many in the Church are weak, sickly and have prematurely died, because they didn't heed his message. When we partake of Communion, we're to remember the Redemption Power of the Blood of our Passover Lamb and believe.

  John tells us in 1John1:9(Amp), "If we freely confess our short comings and sin unto Him, He is faithful to dismiss and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This cleansing is His Redemptive Blood that keeps us clean. Col.1:13-14(Amp) says, "The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love, In Whom we have our Redemption through His Blood, which means the forgiveness of sin." Eph.2:13(Amp) says, "But now, in Christ Jesus, you who once were so far away, through, by, in the Blood of Christ, have been brought near."

  Ps.107:2(Amp) says, "Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered by the hand of the adversary." If you are redeemed, then say so.

Get Wisdom #37

  Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom); For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the Principal thing; and with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, interpretation and comprehension)."
  When God speaks about Wisdom, He is speaking of His Word and His Spirit. He's not speaking about the wisdom that comes from the natural realm. 1Cor.1:30(Amp) tells us, "But it is from God that you have your Life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God." "Jesus is the Word made flesh," according to John1:14. The Wisdom of God is the Word of God. Jesus told His followers in John6:63(Amp), "It is the Spirit Who gives Life (He is the Life-Giver), the flesh conveys no benefit whatever (there is no profit in it). The Words (Truths) that I have speaking to you are Spirit and Life."
  The discernment, comprehension and interpretation come from the Holy Spirit and 1Cor.12:10(Amp), "The Holy Spirit gives these Gifts individually as He wills." Each of us have the measure of the Holy Spirit and what we need at the time. So much misunderstanding in the Church comes from our interpreting a Spiritual Word with the wisdom of the world. Rom.1:22(Amp) says, "Claiming to be wise, they became fools, professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves." Man's wisdom has all but stopped the Super-natural work of the Holy Spirit in the Church. 
  So many have heard, "That's passed away." But, just because some don't walk in the Holy Spirit, doesn't mean that God's Word is void of Power. Ps.119:89(Amp) tells us that, "God's Word is forever settled in Heaven and is eternal." If God's Word failed, then everything He created by His Word would fall into nothing. Heb.1:2(Amp) says, "But in the last of these days, He has spoken to us in the Person of a Son, Whom He appointed Heir and Lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time (He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order)."
  We're intelligent to read the words, but it takes the Spirit to discern, comprehend and interpret what we've read. In order to understand the Power of the Blood of Christ, we need the Holy Spirit to reveal why and how this Power works. The Lord has many things for us, that carnal wisdom simply dismisses. 
  We don't pray in tongues just to prove we've received the Holy Spirit. We do so because He is the Doorway into the mysteries of God Himself. 1Cor.14:2(Amp) says, "For one who speaks in an unknown tongues speaks not to men but unto God, for no one understands him or catches his meaning, because in the Holy Spirit he utters secret truths and hidden things not obvious to the understanding (the natural mind)."
  Everything the Father has provided through Jesus, is always available to His children. 1Cor.1:9-10(Amp) says, "What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man. YET TO US, God has unveiled and revealed them, by and through His Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit searches diligently (exploring and examining everything) even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God, the Divine counsels and things hidden and beyond mans scrutiny."
  Let's never stop seeking the Truth of God's Word.

Get Wisdom #36

  Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom) For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the Principal thing. And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

   1Cor.1:30(Amp) tells us that "God has made unto us, Wisdom in Christ Jesus." If we've received Jesus as our Lord, then we have received Wisdom. All the Wisdom we'll ever need is in the unity with our Lord, but we must make the effort to have understanding, discernment, interpretation and comprehension. Some wonder, "Why do so many bad things happen to good people?" They're most likely told, "It must be God's will for you." One of the easiest ways for Christians to become sick or die prematurely, is that we don't understand the power of Communion. Jesus told the scribes in Matt.15:6(Amp), ""Through your own traditions, you have made the Word of God of no effect."

  Paul told the Church in 1Cor.11:27-30(Amp), "Whoever eats the bread or drinks the Cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy (of Him), will be guilty of profaning and sinning against the Body and the Blood of the Lord. Let a man thoroughly examine himself, and only when he has done so, should he eat of the Bread and drink of the Cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discriminating and recognizing with due appreciation that it is Christ's Body, eats and drinks a sentence, a verdict of judgement upon himself. That careless and unworthy participation is the reason many of you are weak and sickly, and quite enough of you have entered into the sleep of death."

  It's not God's will anyone should be sick and die, nor does He put sickness upon us, but if we partake in Communion with unforgiveness or malice or unconfessed sins, then many might do so. Paul writes in 1Cor.5:7-8(Amp), "Purge, clean out the old leaven that you may be fresh, new dough, still uncontaminated as you are, For Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of purity, nobility and honor and sincerity and unadulterated Truth."

  How many of God's children do we think have taken Communion with unforgiveness, malice or anger in our hearts, instead of purity, honor, sincerity and unadulterated Truth in their hearts? Many believe that God's will is for them to be sick, even before taking Communion, but nothing could be farther from the Truth and Wisdom. Paul says that if we partake without repentance, then we are profaning the Lord's Body and His Blood, and bringing a judgment against ourselves. This means that we're responsible to judge ourselves, to receive healing and life, when receiving Communion. When we receive Communion in Wisdom, then it brings our deliverance, healing and protection. 

  Paul says that when we don't examine ourselves before taking Communion, then we are sickly, weak and many have died. Communion is the time of cleansing by the Blood. 1John1:7(Amp) says, "But if we really are living and walking in the Light (Wisdom) as He Himself is in the Light, we have true unbroken fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son, cleanses and removes us from all sin and guilt (keeps us cleansed from all sin in all its forms and manifestations)."

  This produces healing, peace, fellowship and the Blessing Promised to us in Christ Jesus. We need discernment, comprehension, understanding and self-examination.

Get Wisdom #35

   Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom), For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the Principal thing. And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  Wisdom is the Word of God and Jesus is the Word Himself, according to 1Cor.1:30(Amp), which says, "God has made to us our Wisdom in and through Christ Jesus." If you're born-again and Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then you already have access to all of the Wisdom of God.  And we have access to understanding, discernment, comprehension and interpretation, through the Holy Spirit. 

  We need understanding of the Word of God in the Spiritual aspect. Jesus said in John6:63(Amp), "The Words I speak to you are Spirit and they are Life." When we read God's Word with only an intellectual source, we fail to know the mind of the Spirit into the realm of God's Wisdom. Without skillful and Godly Wisdom, the Word becomes just a religious book with do's and don'ts. This can lead to thinking the Old Testament and New Testament were written under one covenant. 

 Of course the Old Testament is the Truth of God's Word, but it is under the Law and needed to be obeyed by people who weren't yet born-again by the Spirit of God.  Even Jesus' disciples weren't born-again until the Day of Pentecost. No one but Jesus ever fulfilled and perfectly walked in the Law. Jesus said in Matt.5:17(Amp), "I did not come to do away with the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill it." When we were born-again, we also fulfilled the Laws and the Prophets by being made One with Christ Jesus.

 This doesn't mean that we can ignore what the Law says, but that through Jesus, we now have a new and Greater Law. Jesus summed up the entire Law and Prophets in two Commandments, saying in Matt.22:37-40(Amp), "The First and Greatest of these is Thou Shalt love the Lord they God with all your heart, soul and mind; and the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself. These two commandments sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets."

  We only have two Laws that we're required to walk in, but since we still have flesh and blood bodies with only the wisdom of the world which guide them, we must seek the Wisdom of God's Word and the discernment of the Holy Spirit to lead us in our spirits. Instead of being judged by the Law when we sin and do wrong, we have Grace and the Blood of Jesus to cleanse us and keep us in His favor.

  We have so much to comprehend about the Power and significance of what the Redeeming Blood of Jesus means to our lives. This is why we've been leaning into this so much. Col.1:13-14(Amp) tells us, "The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness, and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love; In Whom we have our Redemption through His Blood which means the forgiveness of our sins."

  Heb.10:19(Amp) says, "Therefore brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the Holy of Holies by the Power and Virtue in the BLOOD OF JESUS." The Blood of Christ continually keeps us washed and cleansed from sin, if we're faithful to acknowledge our sins and by faith, accept our Passover Lamb. Peter wrote that "We've been Redeemed from the Curse of the Law," in Gal.3:13. It's not that the Curse is no longer here, but the Blood of Jesus exempts us from the Curse, by the cleansing of His Blood. It's not like the Passover under the old covenant, where the people needed to sacrifice a lamb every time they broke the Law. Now, through the Eternal Blood of Jesus, after we confess and repent of our sins, the Blood cleanses us and keeps us in God's Blessing.

  Heb.9:12(Amp) says, "He (Jesus) went once for all into the Holy of Holies of Heaven, not by the virtue of the blood of goats and calves by which to make reconciliation between God and man, but by His Own Blood having found and secured a complete Redemption (an Everlasting) release for us." The Curse is still here, but Wisdom, understanding and faith in our Passover Lamb Jesus, Redeems us from this Curse and secures God's Blessing for us. I encourage you to read what the Curse of the Law entails from Deut.28, then you'll see just how many of them you're allowing to occur in your life, that Jesus has Redeemed us from. After this, "LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO."

Get Wisdom #34 Jesus is our Passover Lamb

   Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom, skillful and Godly Wisdom; For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal thing. And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  Wisdom has been made unto us by the Father, through Jesus, according to 1Cor.1:30(Amp) which says, "But it is from Him (God) that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God has made our Wisdom." If you've received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you have Wisdom. We need to get understanding, discernment, comprehension and interpretation. We've been in the darkness for centuries, about our healing. Believers know that God can heal, but we don't understand why He "doesn't heal everyone."

  When we rightly divide God's Word about the Power of the Blood Jesus shed for us, then this will be cleared up. Is.53:3-5(Amp) says, "He was disposed and rejected and forsaken by men, a Man of sorrows and pain, and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like One of Whom men hide their faces. He was disposed and we did not appreciate His worth or have any esteem for Him. Surely He has born our griefs, sicknesses, weaknesses and distresses and has carried our sorrows and pain of punishment, yet we ignorantly considered Him stricken and smitten of God, as with leprosy. But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement needful to obtain peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him we are healed and made whole.

  The stripes that wounded Jesus, are the very stripes that shed His Blood for our Redemption. This certainly wasn't the only shedding of His Blood, but it was the Blood that Redeemed us from the Curse of the Law. Jesus bled from the nails that pierced His hands and feet, the stripes on His Body and the crown of thorns placed on His head. This is the Blood of our Passover Lamb, shed for our healing and well-being.

  The Church hasn't given a lot of attention to the significance of His Blood. We've submitted to the sickness and disease that plagues the natural bodies. When we "Get Wisdom," we can understand that "We are Redeemed from the Curse of the Law, by Jesus becoming a Curse for us," according to Gal.3:13. We know that Jesus is the Redeemer. Col.1:13-14(Amp) tells us how He Redeemed us, saying, "The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love In Whom we have our Redemption through His Blood which means the forgiveness of our sins."

  By Jesus' death in His Spirit, He paid for our new birth into righteousness without sin. By His physical death in His Body and Blood, we've been cleansed and washed from the sins that we still find ourselves in while we're renewing our minds, to bring our bodies into the submission of His Spirit and Word. God left nothing to chance of any door open to the enemy. We must understand the Cross completely covered everything. He didn't just give us a way to become new creations without sins or death in our new spirit. He also paid the penalty for our mortal bodies, so that the Curse couldn't come upon us any longer.

 Part of the Curse is sickness and disease, according to Deut.28:60-61(Amp), which says, "Moreover He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you. Also every sickness and every affliction which is not written in the Book of the Law the Lord will bring upon you until you are destroyed." Jesus fulfilled the Law and by His Blood, He Redeemed us from the Curse that satan still tries tormenting God's children with. Let's put faith in His Blood for our Redemption from all diseases.

Get Wisdom #33

  Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom); For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal thing. And with all you have gotten, Get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  We know from Lev.16-17 that there were to be two goats (lambs) on the Day of Atonement or Redemption. The High Priest would lay hands on one goat's head, confess all the sins of Israel on it and then send it into the wilderness (oblivion). The other goat was killed and it's blood was placed on the Mercy Seat, for the lives of and protection of the people.

  Jesus was the Lamb of God, Who became sin with our sin and took our sins into the Abyss, in order to pay the price for Adam's sin of treason, which caused man's separation from God and our spiritual death. Jesus made it possible for us to be born-again without sin or death in our new creation Spirit. The blood of the other lamb from the above scripture was to cover and Redeem the natural flesh and blood body from the Curse of the Law.  

  When God gave the Law, He knew man couldn't keep it and He made atonement for man, so He could still Bless him. No man but Jesus, ever fulfilled the Law. Now that the Law's been fulfilled, we need the Blood of our Passover Lamb to cleanse our flesh and blood bodies, so the Blessing can do it's work in our earthly lives. It's pertinent for us to understand and have faith in the Blood of our Lamb Jesus. We've committed sins even after being saved. The Blood cleanses us and keeps us in a position to still be Blessed. The Power of His Blood holds the destroyer back, so he'd can't bring the Curse upon us and keep us from the Blessing of God.

  Jesus was crucified on the Feast or Festival of Passover, according to Luke 22nd:1(Amp), which says, "Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover." Jesus said in Matt.5:17-18(Amp), "Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law of the Prophets; I have come not to do away with or undo, but to complete and fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook (identifying certain Hebrew letters) will pass from the Law until all things it foreshadows are accomplished."

  Jesus was the Only One to fulfill the Law and in Him, God looks upon us as having fulfilled it as well. By the new birth, we're raised without sin in Christ Jesus. We still have a natural body that is capable of sin. Our Heavenly Father has seen to it by the Festival of Unleavened Bread (the Passover), that the Blood of Jesus opened the door for cleansing. We know longer need the blood of goats, bulls or lambs, because Jesus fulfilled the Law. 

  When we acknowledge and put faith in His Blood, we can grow into maturity in His Word and be cleansed as we confess our sins. We can trust the Blood to cleanse us and protect us from the enemy, his lies and torment. The Blood of our Passover Lamb has the Power to cause the enemy to pass over us as the Redeemed of the Lord. Lev.4:17(Amp) tells us that, "The life of all flesh is in the blood." Are we not in flesh and blood bodies, while here on earth? Then, the Life in His Blood will extend and heal and protect us, because the life of all flesh is in His Blood. There's no death in the shed Blood of Jesus and because of this Life, the destroyer must pass over us. 

   Gal.3:13-14(Amp) says, "Christ purchased our freedom, Redeeming us from the Curse (doom) of the Law (and) its condemnation by Himself becoming a Curse for us; for it is written in the Scripture, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified). To the end, that through their receiving Christ Jesus, the Blessing Promised to Abraham might come on the Gentile, so that we all through faith might receive the realization of the Promise of the Holy Spirit." The Promise doesn't just mean the receiving of the Holy Spirit, but the Promise God made to Abraham through the Holy Spirit.

Get Wisdom #32

   Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom); For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal things. And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  We've been learning about the Power of Redemption, the that our Lord Jesus bought and paid for on Calvary's cross,for us. On the same day and by the Same Sacrifice, our sins were removed and our new creation was made available. The Redemption of our bodies will not be complete, until we receive new bodies at the resurrection. 1John3:2(Amp) says, "Beloved, we are even here and now God's children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be hereafter, we shall as God's children resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He really is."

  Our Redemption was made complete as He gave Himself over to the death of the cross.  The separation of His Spirit for our sins and the death of His Body for the Curse of the Law, we are saved.  The Strong's Concordance #1482-#1483-#1484 tells us that the word "Saved," means "Safe, i.e. deliver, protect, lit. or fig. heal, preserve, save (self) do well, be or make whole, the body, as sound, whole, body, bodily, corporal or physical, bodily."

  Jesus' Sacrifice on Calvary didn't only provide a way for us to be born-again, but also provided a means to keep our mortal bodies well. By His Own Spirit, Jesus provided total deliverance of our dead spirit and by His Blood, Jesus Redeemed us from the Curse of the Law, which was for our physical bodies. Healing is a big part of being saved, because we still have a physical body that satan delights in making sick or destroying altogether. Our physical bodies are still subject to sin, if we don't train it to walk after the Spirit. The Blood is for the cleansing of sin and the Curse from our earthly bodies.

  Col.1:13-14(Amp) tells us, "The Father has delivered us and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love. In Whom we have our Redemption through His Blood, which means the forgiveness of our sins." This isn't talking about our born-again spirits, because if it's born-again in justification, holiness, perfection and filled with God Himself in and through the Holy Spirit and has been made one Spirit with Christ Jesus. This scripture is talking about our mortal and physical bodies of flesh. The Blood has Redeemed us from the Curse and keeps us clean through faith and by the confession of our sins. It keeps us clean before our God and Father.

  Col.1:10(Amp) says, "And God purposed that through, by the service, the intervention of Him, The Son, all things should be completely reconciled back to Himself. Whether on earth or in Heaven, as through Him, the Father made peace by the means of the Blood of His cross." Paul speaks about taking Communion in 1Cor.11:25-30(Amp) saying that if we fail to "Judge ourselves of anger, gossip, unforgiveness, or any other things against the brethren, then we're eating and drinking wrongly." Paul says that many of us are "sick, weak and have died ahead of our time," because of not doing these things.

Get Wisdom #31

   Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom) for skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal thing. And with all you have gotten, Get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  We've been talking a lot about the Power of the Blood of Jesus Christ. We can probably all agree that Jesus shed His Blood for us on Calvary, but can we agree how it effects our lives today? Jesus' Spiritual death paid for Adam's sin and brought the miracle of the new creation man/woman. What was the purpose for the shedding of His Blood? Gal.3:13(Amp) says, "We have been Redeemed from the Curse of the Law, Jesus being made a curse for us, that the Blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentile." The first 12 Verses of Deut.28 reveal to us the Blessing and the next 55 Verses reveal to us what Jesus' Blood Redeemed us from. How many of these 55 Verses happen in our lives all the time, but we simply accept as being a part of life?

  The Curse is for the natural flesh and blood lives we're living on earth. Obviously, we're not exempt from these things because we're saved. We see things happen to Christians that are happening to the lost persons. Why is this? Could it be that we don't understand the Power of the Redemption of His Blood?

 Our bodies weren't born-again when we were saved and born-again, but our spirits were. Our bodies can and will do things outside of the commitment of our faith. We've all done things since being saved that aren't right. This is a growing period that takes time in the Word and training of the flesh. Paul writes about our becoming dull of hearing in Heb.5:12-14(Amp) saying, "When we should be teaching others, we still need to be taught all over again the first principals of God's Word." Paul told them they were "Inexperienced and unskilled in the Doctrine of Righteousness and were still on milk and not meat." Finally Paul said, "But solid food is for full grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary, either to Divine or human law."

  How many things are still occurring in our daily lives, that we've been Redeemed from and we accept as being "normal?" When some of these things rear their heads in our lives, we should be saying, "No, praise God, Jesus Redeemed me from that and by His Blood and Redemptive Sacrifice, I refuse to accept this in my life!" We need to do like Paul says and "train our senses and mental faculties" so we're able to distinguish what is going on and stand in faith in His Blood to overcome.

  Our spirit was born-again and our soul (mind, will, emotions and intellect) are still being saved. When we receive our resurrection bodies, it will bring about total salvation (spirit, soul and body). Until then, we need to renew our mind, train our senses (emotions, will and flesh) as we wait patiently for our Lord's return. 

  Our physical bodies and senses have been trained since the time we drew our first breath. Now that we're saved, not all these things are according to God's Word. We must train it to walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. This takes time on our part. While we're training, we need to put faith in the Redemptive Blood of our Passover Lamb, to keep us cleansed from the Curse of the Law.
