Lamb Of God AshesPosted on February 18, 2010. Enoch and Elijah
Enoch and ElijahElijah was man with a nature as the oursae¦ (James 5:17a). Enoch and Elijah were two prophets, the people with the natures as the ours, that never tasted the death but by faith they were taken for that they did not see the death. They were not found among the sons of men, because God had taken them. Before Enoch was taken, and I believe also Elijah, it had this testimony, that it pleased God. This was a testimony of sonship. This was the same testimony that Jesus had received when John baptized IT and the Father declared IT the Son with a testimony that the Father was well pleased with Him. Only after they received these testimonies, that they pleased God, they were taken to the sky. Came first the testimony of God about them that they pleased came IT then the glorification of their bodies with the glory that Jesus had before the world was created. The other only person, besides Enoch and Elijah of which the bodies never saw the corruption and were taken to the sky in the physical form was Jesus after His resurrection of the death (Acts 1:9). Christ was foreordained since the foundation of the earth to be sacrificed as a ransom for a lot and It also was done the first Son born of a lot of brothers to follow. Enoch and Elijah were in accordance with the sonship of Christ before His demonstration in the flesh as His provision was established in the Spirit since the foundation of the earth (the Revelation 13:8; Peter 1:20). The sacrifice of Christ was not any reflection afterwards, not something God decided following the transgression of Adam. God at the start created all the things, in Him, the one with Him And in the total harmony with Him and with all that his is. In Him, Adam lived and moved itself and had his being because it was in Him, the one with Him. God did the head of Adam of Eve and the very earth of which ones it was taken. It gave him the authority to reign on his domain or his anointed sector, that was the Garden of Eden. It needed no testimony that it pleased God because it was created to bring the joy of God and the accomplishment. Adam was the joy of God and the accomplishment, His well-loved son in that It was well pleased. The transgression of Adam placed the man the exterior one of interior of God, that caused the separation of Him Have for result the death of the man, as it was a cut branch of the Vine. The sin separated the man of the joyous and calm atmosphere of interior of presence of God of Him and launched it in a universe broken cover with a the cloud of doubt and feared. Since this time man had to present God with the blood sacrifices for sin expiation. The men began passing to see also the name of the Lord in the prayer to look for His favor. For the first men of time, by faith, had at the breakthrough the cloud of doubt and of fear to please God. Without faith it is impossible to please It. For the first time, outside of love, faith and hopes Entered in game to have a relation with God. The fallen man had to present it to the Lord in the faith as if it was perfect, in Him and the one with Him, In the hope for the buyback of the entire man. Faith changes things in the books of God. Although you could not have attained to the resurrection of the death and are not done perfect, faith is the hope substance to attain to the life of resurrection and to the perfection. When God looks at the man It sees the man as it thinks in his heart that it is, for if it sees it (the Proverbs 23:7). Of more, that you think in your heart, good or devilish, you already committed (Matthew 5:28). This is the rectitude of God by faith. Enoch (without the law) and Elijah (under the law) live the proof that since the transgression man could attain to the life of resurrection and to the perfection if it or she believed God for him. Adam was 687 years when Enoch had been born. Enoch was 243 years old when Adam is dead at the age of 930 years (the Origin 5). Enoch must have learned from first hand of Adam that it had in the garden and lost it then by his foolish arrogance. Enoch languished for the Adam of relation of Father Son had with God and also to walk with Him in the garden as Adam did. By faith it discovered the fountain of Life, the source of Light, the example of Truth, that is the Creator of sky and of earth. It walked with God and It began it to teach as It did Adam. Enoch was preacher to underline rectitude that the men should oversee their souls; the taken on to the fear of the Lord and to the service to Him, and to serve It in the rectitude, innocence and the justice in humility and purity. It prophesied also of the a powerful one that are soon to be relaxed on the earth (Jude 14). It believed God as much of it began testing the joy and the force that this man knew before the fall. It began living in the penetrating light of God that filled the very earth but cannot be limited in no one leaves or imports what or by does not import that. Life became so big in him that it would always have remains on the earth if God had not taken it to remain with Him in the sky. It was too a lot of life to die, therefore God took it physical in the sky for that it did not see that the death and could not be found among the sons of men. Before God took it it had this testimony, that it pleased God. Without faith it is impossible to please It (Hebrews 11:5-6). A lot of years after Enoch, God established a work alliance with Its people, the nation of Israel. The terms of the alliance of the Law were that if the Jewish ones kept the alliance they would be a special treasure to God above all the people and they will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation to Him. If they obey diligently to the voice of the Lord to observe all Its orders that the Lord will regulate the tops by over all the nations of the earth and all Its blessings will fall them on and the surpasses. If they violated the alliance, they would be cursed (the Deutedronome 28). The to must was with the man to keep the alliance. Because the law is witty and perfect the virtuous condition of the law only could be filled in those that does not walk according to flesh but according to the Spirit (Roman 8:4). By flesh (the strength and the strength) the virtuous conditions of the Law could never have been filled but only by faith. Faith is the doorway to the Spirit where God remains. The work alliance failed totalment because it could never be filled in flesh. To be the exterior one of interior of God (His body) is the death for can do nothing you without Christ in you The glory hope. The excellence of the strength is God and not the man. Elijah, the Tishbite, a powerful prophet of God, that lived in the times when the mean kings governed Judah and Israel, had a different spirit in him and it followed God completely. By faith it filled the virtuous conditions of the law. It had the testimony that it was held constantly before the Lord, that is to live in His presence (1 Kings 17:1). It lived his life above the cloud of doubt and the fear by the position itself in the presence of God, that is in the kingdom of the Spirit. The presence of God is where the Spirit of God prevails, where the burden to suffer and the shame of imperfect flesh is broken. This is where the glory of the character and the strength of Christ was revealed in him (1 Peter 1:11). It was without concession in his spirit saturated nevertheless with the joy and the love of the Spirit of God in him. Elijah was man with a nature as the ours. When it succumbed to flesh, where the rule of doubt and fear, it fled for his life before Jezebel and prayed the Lord to take his life. The Lord asked Elijah that it did in the cave (the passed) passing the night (bad weather) in this place (thinks about the bad one of the passed). It meditated on how Jezebel killed the prophets of God in the past and that she was occupied to hunt it down below. It was supposed to be disposed in the place of his anointment (his garden), the presence of God. After this episode it walked with God and it obtained the testimony that in his walk with God that his fire never lowered. Then God took it. Elijah was fire prophet. Enoch, that is a picture of the Lamb of God, and Elijah that entered the spirit of the Lion of Judah is the witnesses that God was innocent in his treats the man before that and during the times of Old Testament to be in accordance with the glorious picture of His Son. His Son was revealed foundation of the earth (the Revelation 13:8). God took finally the first alliance, the condemnation ministry that It could establish the second, the rectitude ministry. It was done to enter the a lot of bigger glory, even in the glory of His Son. We completed in Christ, nevertheless God predestined the heirs of good day to be been in accordance with the picture of His Son, indicating a growing process. By to suffer on the cross the Lord Jesus Christ completed the necessary work for our good day and sonship. There is nothing to be done the side of Lord to complete our perfection. We have only need to grow, as the newborn babies, in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in the maturity date in the measure a lot of the stature of the Son of God. The witty growth is the even as the natural growth; you were born that a baby then began ripening towards the adult age. When you read the word of God, praying or await on the Lord should drink you only water live, appreciating God. You should not worry you about not carrying of the fruit of the season because your relation with Him is a natural process of growth. If you remain in the Vine will carry you fruit in the time of your season. Although Enoch and Elijah seem to be the ultimate examples to attain to the life of resurrection and to be done perfect it is Jesus who is the upright line. It is our vision and the model that indicate the manner towards sonship. To study the life of the Son of model is to interpret the prophecy about our lives. Why? It is the first one among a lot of brothers and the sons to follow will have to follow alongside the same manner that It paved. There are three major phases in Jesus' lives that needs to be studied to follow the event course that will follow our lives. These are His birth and ripen process, His baptism and Sonship and His glorification on the cross. In this chapter will consider us only the first phase. Jesus' the natural birth placed IT in the kingdom of God for His own Spirit is the Spirit of Christ (Roman 8:9). Although Jesus is God It came in this world, as one of us, a mortal being nevertheless without the sin. Come as a perfect man in the world It said that It could do nothing Itself but acknowledged His total dependance on His Father. The Father that sent was Him in Him and It in the Father for that the excellence of glory and of strength was God in Him. Although Hedrode looked for to destroy It, It survived the attack on His life and is kept takes care with the things of God, the matters of Its Fathers. In this It grew and becomes strong in the spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was on Him. It increased in wisdom and the stature and in the favor with God and the man. The analogy to the birth of Jesus is to be regenerated. So do not import that does not have the Spirit of Christ, it is his (Roman 8:9). You cannot see the kingdom of God unless you regenerated. If you believe in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ, God will place you in His Son and you will have delivered of your sin and guilt and you will have justified in His view. You will have joined to the Lord Jesus Christ and become a Spirit with Him. This is not a mixture of your spirit with His but you become a spirit with the Spirit of Christ. A spirit mixture means a mixture of your glory pulpit with divine glory of Jesus Christ. God divides His glory with no man. A spirit with Him means that there is only a glory, the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father gave us only a glory, Christ in us the glory hope. This glory is the picture of His Son, the only the picture It gave us to grow in by faith. If you regenerated that you are in Him (in His body) and It is in you (a Spirit with you) for that the excellence of the strength and of glory is of Him that lives in you. You relate to God with your spirit because it is this party of your being that is living to Him and a Spirit with Christ. The kingdom of God be a question of relations. It implies that you should have an intimate relation with God, show His pity and His thanks to your neighbor and like and respect the earth. The relations that are not in Christ are dead because it is cut Vine. A lot will say Me in this day, "the Lord, the Lord, we did not prophesy in Your name, Your distribution Your out demons in Your name, and does a lot of prodigies in Your name"? And then I will declare them, "I never knew you; leave Me, you that practice anarchy"! (Matthew 7:22-23). Work the exterior one of God is flesh, that counts for nothing. It is the relation of Christ that you divide with Him this love of minister, confidence and the accomplishment to God. Love and confidence do not develop the exterior one of a relation. The result is if it knows you and if you know It. It is a question of the love substance that you became in Christ, to God. It is that you became in the unity with Him, to Him and that It you is this question. Not everyone that says Me, "the Lord, the Lord," will enter the sky kingdom, but it that does the will of My Father in the sky (Matthew 7:21). The will of God does not consist in fact and but it is a state of your spirit (faith) that causes anointment to flow. Faith is a state of your spirit. God called you in sonship, that means to live and to relate to God with this party of you that is living to Him and to the one with Christ, for that Christ could be revealed in your entire being. If you are son of God that you are to be taken by the Spirit of God. Naturally this is a gradual growing process. This is to allow God to be your Father and you to be son to Him. Sonship is a full or ripe revelation the Son in you. The question is that you became to God or will do It does not recognize you. The Father wants you to be son and a faithful one to Him. The Son wants you to be the brother and the friend to Him, as It the one is with you, in you, and the desires to be done shown in you. Holy Spirit wants to be your friend, your eddedron and your leader and you to direct in the very truth, that is Christ. Your relation of faith love in the unity with Christ is the substance that helps love, confidence and the accomplishment towards God and all that his is. The acts without a relation towards God are hypocrisy, acting or the step game even if your intention are good because it is without Spirit and without life and thus without the accomplishment, that is the joy, peace and the pleasure in Holy Spirit. That was why Jesus called the hypocritical Pharisiens. The word hypocrite in the Greek means the actor or the step player. They were interpreters without having a relation with God. To act is works or the execution without a relation. You remind of a prostitute, isn't that right? Hold only can relate to God by faith, the hope and the love in His word. As live us not longer but Christ lives in we, this is His faith, hope and like in the operation. Our capacity, that flows forward on this part in us that is dead to God, that is our flesh, cannot please It. What that is dead to God indicates a separation and an independence of Him, that is death of necessity. Flesh is the tree of the knowledge of voucher (the law or the ledgalisme) and the evil (anarchy). Good is better than devilish but this is the calm death. This is a thing to have the knowledge of the goodness of God but a something else to know God as Voucher by a deep relation with Him. I heard about You by the entendt to talk about the ear, but now my eyes see you. Therefore I abhor myself, and to regret me in dust and the ashes (Work 42:5-6). The knowledge of voucher and devilish devoured produce in top the fruit of arrogance and you render vulnerable to the ignorance of futility and the bareness. Faith, the hope and love edify and produce the rectitude fruit, humility and wisdom, and the joy of harvest and the accomplishment in God. The first grace of ecclesiastical one in a relation with God is faith. Now faith is the substance of hoped things for, the thing proof done not see (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is the substance of your world or of your reality that you live in, that is based on the word of God. If faith is based on the hope, that is filled with the vision or the divine revelation. The difference between the hope and the fantasy is this hope is based on the word of God and of fantasy on the futile imagination of heart of the man. The hope is one the constant home on God That raw with the big hope that It will bring to pass the vision of His Word that It burned in your heart of his will do for your life. Faith is to convert the promise, the vision or the revelation in the substance in living your hope now as if it is well filled that you cannot see his accomplishment. To express faith is the proof or the proof of the unnoticed hope, the revelation or the vision. Without the divine vision, the people of revelation or hope perisies. Despair is faith emptiness, that is sinned it. Without faith cannot please you God. We cannot live by the sensations but by faith. Faith is the life in the Spirit but the sensations belongs to the soul kingdom, that is sinned it and the death. The man tests sensations the whole time. The impulses flow of its internal and external environments of the impressions in his body, its emotions, its thoughts, its memories and his spirit. Most of it comes from the twisted heart of carnal flesh pumping its doubts, its fears and its thirsts in an atmosphere already broken and polluted. Of time in time some sensations are sky. Some sensations are important, using the barometers to the life systems in your body, you to give the direction or you warn of while awaiting the danger, etc. Nevertheless, most of the sensations can be dangerous in your walk with God because it relates to the doubts, the fears and thirsts. It is important to induce your spirit to neglect or to withstand some sensations. For example, if you want to pray only when you feel as him, you will pray very rarely. When you do not want not to pray recognize that you feeling as a barrier that needs to be withstood and to be refused. What is revealed by the light is judged by the light. More more you practice it, more more easier it becomes. This manner that you will live above the cloud of doubts and above the fears. If you want to pray, thank you God for His grace because especially you do not want not to pray. Normally you do not want not to pray because your body is dead to God because of the sin and therefore the emnity with Him. That is why you present your death body to God by faith a living sacrifice (as if it is living to Him) to serve and love Him only. Nevertheless, this is different something when your body is exhausted. Then you must rest. This principle applies to all the sectors in your life. It is funny to walk by faith. Someone say that it is hard. I been not born it but I believe it depends on how much one you the hunger after the reward of the highest call of God in Christ Jesus. To walk by faith is a former occasion and a former privilege in all the eternity that God granted to all the men during their stay on the earth. So not to waste your occasion for is your only chance to obtain a witness that you please God. The witness to please God has nothing to do with your rectitude before God ae" the sacrifice of Jesus was sufficient. This is a freewill offering you THE brings because you like IT. This is to bring IT joy and the accomplishment. Flesh is unbelieving nature and is the emnity against God. How do you begin out? By faith present you your spirit that is the emnity against God a living sacrifice as if it is living to God while bringing every thought in the captivity to the obedience of Christ, in the hope This the very disobedience will be punse when your obedience is filled. You done it while meditating only on the things that are true, noble, just, pure, beautiful, of good report, the virtues and meritorious that you could be renewed in the spirit of your spirit. The home of your heart is not on grows you in sonship but on Him is glorified in you. Growing in Him automatically will be taken care of as you follow Christ. Which of you by the concern can add a cubit to his stature? (Matthew 6:27). The revelation is never completes unless you see that God student in Its works and Its manners or where It is revealed as the wisdom in any problem of worry. To live you is Christ. By faith present you your dead body as the living being of the death and the members of your body although dead, as the rectitude instruments to God. Therefore, by faith should live you your life on the earth as if you are in the sky. Paul attained in Christ by the faith that it can know It and the strength of His resurrection, and the comradeship of his suffers, is been in accordance with His death, if, by any means that It can attain to the resurrection of the death (Philippians 3:9-11). Life is not placed in the formulas or some conformation steps but in knowledge of Christ, that underlines relation. Eternal life in the spirit, the soul and the body are in knowledge of God and Jesus Christ that It sent. In knowledge Him, the life fountain, Paul pressed to be in accordance with His death and His resurrection in the hope that it can attain to the resurrection of the death. It presented that that was dead to God as if his entire man was living to Him. What it did not attain or already was done perfect, but in faith it pressed as if it attained and was done perfect. It put the taken Christ in the same manner that Christ put the taken of him. With this quality of Enoch of faith and of Elijah did not see that the death but received a witness that they pleased God before they have was took. Their faith demanded that in their reality world they were living to God, the spirit, the soul and the body and in their world the spirit and the natural kingdoms the one became. Their faith brought the substance to a world where a sky and an earth are united in the one world of Christ. In their world the will of God must is done on the earth as this is in the sky. As for they the New Jerusalem brought down and the sky and the earth the one became. They had as much life in them that God had to take them. The second grace of the Spirit is the hope. The true hope is an unshakeable one set up itself on the Lord With a hope that It will fill the vision or the revelation of Its promises according to the will of God for your life. The hope is a confidence expression in the goodness of God and the fidelity. It awaits with confidence and the patience for the accomplishment of promise of God in the future. In the Spirit there is not barriers of time. When Enoch and Elijah, by the revelation, saw the end as early as the beginning they begin right away the walk in this hope by the faith as if they attained to the life of resurrection and to the perfection. In the faith of books of God is the substance of Its promises even if you did not receive it. It will have explained you as if you received it, that is the proof of unnoticed realities. This is the faith type that the enoch-gednedration, the a powerful one to come, will show. The enoch-gednedration always will consider the end as early as the beginning as the present. The biggest one of all the graces is love. If you like God, It knows you. Love is the anointed substance of joy and of accomplishment that you became Him by faith and which It you is in your relation with Him. It is the relation that brings the accomplishment. The relation of the Holy Trinity is itself one of accomplishment. The deep proof of a relation with God is the accomplishment, that is the joy, peace and the pleasure. You find the accomplishment in God and God finds the accomplishment in you. When I lack the accomplishment in God, my prayer always is, "God fills the spaces empty; water the dry places". After it you leaves with a bigger hunger and a bigger thirst after God. In to follow by Christ you became all the things to all the men, the magnet with the love of Christ. To the widow you became husband, to the orphan a father and to the simple one, to wisdom. In your relation to the earth you became flight attendant of excellence to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. In all these things find you the accomplishment in God.
