Free writing ......Salvation were saved entirely

Gods covenant of grace presupposes Gods determination of the salvation of man. The spirit of the covenant is the spirit of grace. Salvation is a foreign procurement that determines the just consequences in time and in eternity as that by which identity is confirmed in terms of its future effects in us and in our eternal state in heaven. The cross is not the process to produce these effects in us but it has produced salvation in this foreign idea of its full effects in the initial saving event. This definition of a lack of self reliance is an understanding of the nature of the powers of the world to come. A real assurance is a covenant assurance which is the exercise of the understanding that God is a saving God.

Free Writing.....the true image of oneself

3996 One of the reasons that i write is because i find that every truth has this quality of comparison. I dont mean in a sense that it is only in its rational application as a matter of proving something that becomes an example of the truth. But i mean in matters of comparing truth to its counterparts in a meta physical sense. There is only one way... there is only one Truth. Both in terms of its rational process as a matter of the reality of creating the image of exactness on a conscious level and the physical wholeness that is so different and attractive in another sense. This is why truth is caused to follow a pattern out of the need of a rational explanation as to how it fits in with that process. Truth follows this line of reasoning in the causes... its means... and its ends. This is why we can have a united under standing of the real worthiness of all that transpires in this world.... what deserves the reward of the proper reality that finds in the end true glory in glory. All that truth is as a matter of our view of truth is finding the proper process of the rational thought in linking it to its causes ... means ... and ends as it becomes the image of all that we know in relation to the reality that we understand about ourselves. This is why there is such a disproportionate image as the stream of irrationality connects us to this dark abyss of all of these ideas of incorporation that bring us into connection with one another in this image of a reflection of the safety of this incorporated molding. I call this the rebuilt inner child.  If i could compare it to a biblical concept it would be the experience of what the bible terms as a divided soul. I believe that truth has it shadow of the image of itself in a rational sense in a modal idea of something that appears similar but is an anti truth. We have this example of the inner child and the reflection of the inner child. The inner child is the experience of the truth about ones self and the reflection is the process of coming to terms about the truth about oneself. Both of these ideas are the incorporation of a process of coming to a rational enjoyment of the image of oneself. May i say that an image of oneself is full of mystery and that mystery is the art form of something that is in itself an image of the truth in the worthy idea in finding the causes of the meta physical realities of understanding the conscious process of self understanding. The totality of understanding in this world is the incorporation of the truth in all of its available knowledge in the event in terms of what transpires in this world and the creation of the idea of what is true about oneself in the hidden image of the finite comparative understanding. So that we go from a total self image in this matter of the reflection of the comparative finite hidden image as a matter of finding the truth about oneself. I would say that Austin pinned this concept by saying that one is restless until he finds all of his happiness in God. Because an image is only true if it has in it the ideas that are incorporated in the full understanding of the truth about that image. I mean that there is always mystery involved in our finite incorporation.

Cleaving to God

5808 Yes we must lift up our souls to Him for comfort. Because we face loneliness and affliction. The world is not only full of attraction but it is a place where there is constant friction and hatred. And we are confronted by being in the public arena with the schemes men have devised so that the spirit is one of treachery. We can lift up our souls to God so that we might find rest in His love and forgiveness. Because when we have learned to find all of our rest and comfort from this world we are able to say as His purposes are being worked out through us that we will not be put to shame. He is the access we have to Him. Here is Gods method of treating us who are in Christ. Since we can lift our souls to Him we are under such a spirit of love that our purposes will not be thwarted in the end. When we lift up our souls to Him we are hoping in Him. There is no greater evidence that our hopes will not be turned aside by Him seeing that He valued our purposes that He sent His own Son to die and earn salvation when we did not deserve it. God valued us so much that He gave His most glorious gift for us.
 
Now all of our days are spent in following His purpose for us. Because we are convinced by His goodness alone that what He wants is best for us. We face so many personal troubles that we cannot see sometimes. We are full of uncertainty in our best days. Since He teaches us to walk in His ways then He is constantly reminding us that we are freed from any kind of anguish that we are confronted with. We have a conviction to want to walk in His ways. Now in our identity with Him we are being freed from our uncertain worry.
 
Now that we are on His path we are free from our past corruption and sins. He promises not to remember the sins of our youth. And since we have this promise then we are reminded that there is no lack of understanding that we will face in going before Him for wisdom. Because in forgiving us the we are seen as being in Christ. We are seen by the Father as completely righteous. There is nothing good that He will not lead us in or teach us by leading us. Since we suffer physical pain and the pain of being in this world, that is all of the fears and troubles we can find our full confidence in coming to Him for forgiveness. We know that He is just as certain to be our help as we are to find all of our peace from His forgiveness. What other end in His teaching us is there? If we have peace with God we have all we need. If we have peace with God then He will bless us with all that we need in this life. He will not only lead us to know that He has cast our sins as far as the east is from the west, but He is determined to bless us more than we could ask or think.

Oh He brings us through many trials in His path for us. So that He leads us to cry to Him for peace and relief. Then we are made aware that we have a protection that is not natural. Then we know that He will keep us from the dread of the wicked. All our days will be spent in praising Him for being such a big and loving Father!   Psalm 25

Soaking Prayer...The unction of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit has the individual strings to our hearts and pulls these strings as we look into the abundance of the eternal communications in this Trinitarian fellowship through Christ. We are made aware of this eternal longing to find our relief in His direct effect in bringing a peace and joy that is beyond the things we rejoice in through our own work. There is a simplicity to our understanding that draws us out to have a silent infusion of the waves of power that flood our entire being. The Holy Spirit causes us to feel as if there is nothing that we can do to gain a favor in our own understanding of the divine cause of the working out of the good in this world.
 
If we are made to rejoice in Christ it is by looking on His beauty in all of the spiritual effects in this communication to us. If we find a confidence in Him then we are drawn out of ourselves by the Holy Spirit. Now we know that there are corporal attractions in this life. But we are made aware that there are greater attractions from those things that are not seen in this world. This is the world of the Holy Spirits communications to us. Our active sight that reside in the our spiritual world is His communication to us of the reality of those things that are not seen. We look at Christ who we long for and we are made confident that we shall be made aware of who we are in our fellowship with the Spirit. Here is His powerful effect in our present consciousness. We cannot fathom the kind of supernatural communication in that bringing about this confidence in the working out of all things as the eternal emanations are felt in us by Him. But it is  that fellowship that is bringing about the new mind of having confidences that are leading us in a direction that we know will not be thwarted. Because we are more aware of the Holy Spirits effects in communicating to us than we know of anything that has that kind of pull and power in this world. 

Romans and the Flesh Monster...being in the presence of Christ transcended all human experience

5825  All of us want to think and do the rite thing at all times in every situation. Not only do we want to think perfectly in our viewing all of the situations and people who we are being influenced, but we also want to feel that we have a genuine understanding of their particular circumstances and reacting in a way that would show the most amount of love. We have a picture in our minds of living within the reality of what is best for them and our particular interest in the matter. Heres what i want to say ...that having this kind of understanding is greater than we think it is. The depth of the genuineness of our experience is more than just thinking that we can do something by a simple command. After all we are not dogs who do something good and we get a treat as a reward. But we are volitional , and moral reasoning creatures who define things in terms of what we learn about God in understanding of how we are to be within that particular reality. We long to be like something we are not. And in this sense  of our understanding is determined by our depth of living in a certain reality that we can control in living beyond the normal genuine rule. 

This is why Christ was a man who came and revealed Himself to all the sinners as the most genuine man alive.  Christ understanding of men were beyond our ability to think let alone follow. He saw through every particle  in the universe at all times with the most profound illuminated knowledge that was ever seen in any man on this earth. He walk as the most humbled man that ever walked the earth.  He viewed things that were beyond this earthly understanding to be genuine enough to understand. He was able to look into the thoughts and intents of other men who were depraved , and yet knew at the same time what they would think them before they thought them. If you think about this it just blows your mind. 

 At the same time He was a man acquainted with the feelings of every person. Not only did he know what their particular behavior would be, but he knew intimately how each person would experience the outcome of that behavior whether it was by their circumstances or by personal choices. Christ knew so much that He had the key to unlock a person being in bondage. Whatever image a person would be under, Christ brought them into an image of freedom in His presence in His being among sinners. They experienced a freedom to think, feel, and act in the rite way. And yet He has promised to be with us through His Spirit in a much greater way

Romans and the Flesh Monster...Gods working in us leads us to a mysterious freedom

5867 In order for us to get relief from our pride we need to have confidence that He is presently able to assure us of our redemption from the slavery to sin and self that we were under in which we were separated from His love. Because He endured the cross by taking on the full wrath of the Father for our sin , then we are not only delivered from the power of sin and the law, but we have a present help in our time of need. We do not need to pay for our pride or our sins. They were completely taken care of in Christ. Now we can come boldly before the throne of grace and find help in our time of need. When we come before Him we are receiving an ongoing assurance through His suffering .He is listening to our complaints and request as one who is the end for which we find grace apart from the bondage to the law. And even tho we experience the effects of sin in our bodies as we are groaning because of the incomplete understanding we have of His power. yet there is no loss to us who seek Him with all of our hearts as if we were afraid for our own well being when we compare our goodness to His standard of goodness. 

But instead of Him discouraging us from this concern, He comes to our aid and at the same time calms our fears. Since there is more power in Him that is available to us than we could find in being satisfied in finding relief in what we think we need, then we are invited to find the greatest pleasure and glory in being freed from the bondage of our conscious painful worry. He leads us away from that pain we blindly embrace as if we knew a better way to be self protective.  He not only shields us from  our lack of understanding, but He gives us new life. We cannot produce enough evidence as to why we are enabled to dwell in His perfect peace. He not only knows better what we need, but He grants us more than we could ever be selfish enough when we receive the good that He gives us..

Romans and the Flesh Monster.... His kingdom animates us

  5857 As you know or if you have not already learned that in meditating on the Psalms regularly I find that angels are quite intriguing. Whether its the Angel of the Lord who has a sword that comes from His mouth, who is our great protector, or a myriad of Angels who are appointed to protect us from this spiritual conflict, yet they are beautiful creatures who are intimately involved in our lives.  Anytime we are in prayer and we start to feel this eternal peace, rolling our anxiety onto Him, it comes with this heavenly vision of the armies of heaven shining His glory with the hope that we have a future interest when we see these armies at first hand. If we could imagine that even tho the sky's seem calm and have a blue glow to them, yet if we were to have a vision of the spiritual forces in the skies,  there would be an amazing clear transformation of our view in gazing on an object, having an illumination of a light and color as we feel unable to find clearness in comparison to the objects we are used to seeing.

And yet we are given a spiritual  vision of Gods armies attending His present salvation of us not only  enlightening our eyes but in having an effect on our present circumstances. And the angels of heaven give us an experience of Gods saving purposes as the armies of heaven are displayed before us by our Father in heaven acting to come to our rescue . This personal feeling helplessness is buttressed by our illumination of His unfathomable spiritual creation coming from heaven to enact victory for us. Oh my, can we have more confidence than that? For who can thwart His glorious appearance? Who can conclude that God cannot do as He pleases?  He does it according to His divine order. May our eyes be opened to these powers that are not seen yet are very real.

 Gods order comes from that divine knowledge. We know that the origins of all things comes from a divine source. They come from God and not from a principle.  We are to have a new knowledge of confidence that He enacts His purpose even tho the world is trying to force their way upon us. God has determined to reveal this order in the heavens as a buttress for our confidence. The order we seldom see today with our eyes in this physical universe.  We are moved by a moral system that causes us to react to the physical universe. But yet God comes to us in the unseen universe. He has come  in Christ who has established His order.  He determined who we are in acting for us. But we worship Christ the word of God, through revealed truth by a divine method and not through the system of this world. If we set our affections on things above then we will be confident that God does as He pleases in spite of what the world teaches us about moral order.
 
We can be raised up to rejoice.  All of these glorious illuminations come to us in the light of the glory of God. For who can look upon His present glory? But yet how can we conclude that there is no hope in His present communication? How can we understand knowledge  that is beyond the normal means of communication? We find it in the Spirit who causes us to think and act correctly. The Spirit communicates to us  a living reality so that we are not mere actors in a play of the worlds mindset to be forever frustrated that there is nothing outside this present play. Oh my, now can we conclude that God is the orchestra-tor of a much glorious unseen connection that comes in all of the details of every movement of all of the things of this world? Are we not under the obligation to see that God is not only speaking in the universe so that we grow in confidence by viewing the movements with our  eyes, but that He is involved with all of the connections that we could never see and understand? Shall we say that He speaks so powerfully in us, that we are confounded by the weight of the circumstances that we cannot comprehend?
