Mystery of Your Cleansing We labour with the Spirit for this rest which knowledge will come through the calling to the church. The “dividing asunder” is by that knowledge heard through the stewardship for testing the thoughts and heart for obedience. The apostle John makes the connection for us in this verse. 1 John 1:3 “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” In the absence of this oversight there is no fellowship. True fellow of the Spirit is the exchanging of equal substance as only light can enter light. No darkness of the heart can see this mystery as Jesus declared to His apostles. John 14:17 “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” This divine substance takes the image of His charity which forms a perception that is not of this world manifesting to our understanding that Christ has come and gave you a gift, (powers of the world to come). This inscription sets a new law in your mind and heart fulfilling His word saying “but ye know him; for he dwells with you and shall be in you.” Galatians 4:19 “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,” The chastening cleanses us as it pierces the heart crucifying the old man and circumcising those things that need removal and purging of others separating the soul and spirit. Christ is being formed in the heart and the soul travails to birth His virtues in you. If there is no dividing there is no perfection to stablish, strengthen and settle you. 1 Peter 5:10 “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” Those that bewitch you bring God down to address your psychological faith (not real faith but hopeful aspirations of the imagination). False grace will not allow the eyes to behold Christ but it will bring confidence to his tradition which is the boast of man. They compare themselves among themselves. Proof of no gift from God for the separation of the soul from carnal things. Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” Circumcision of the heart comes by the word (knowledge) you hear for faith. Dead knowledge is spoken through those that are dead to Him but preach in pretence. Paul was not supporting pretence as a valid source but that the knowledge of Christ was becoming wide spread even by uncircumcised lips. This is like tossing seed which some will land into another field but benefit your neighbour it time to come. Philippians 1:18 “What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.” Pretence: something done or a way of behaving that is not genuine, but is intended to deceive somebody; a claim, especially one with few facts to support is; make-believe or things imagined. The Spirit will not confirm false knowledge, for the Spirit of truth only confirms Christ and His Record in this covenant. That is why believers once illuminated are never confirmed by God with His seal because of the absence of truth. They will not partake of the things of the Spirit and their whole “Christian” experience is turned into an experience of thorns and briars. Preachers of unrighteousness cannot give what they do not possess. Who is a minister of unrighteousness? What does that mean? Righteousness first of all is the Standard of God in Jesus Christ, Who is the scale of all creation and weighs all things according to Himself. His Word is holiness and His way in truth. All those of faith He declares righteous and holy. For a deeper and expanded understanding study the Book on the 12 Elements of the Gospel. Ministers of unrighteousness put the standard of faith in their own record and teachings which they draw from the Holy Scriptures. This is what both Peter and Jude called “great swelling words” that address the problematic struggles of the believers’ conscience because of sin. No divine nature is being formed in the inner man and they only see their nakedness of ignorance wresting the doctrines of Christ into a different theological mold called another Jesus and strange doctrines. Now the hearts are being manifest testifying of sin. John 15:26 “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: In the absence of the truth there is no anointing for this miracle of regeneration to take root in the heart, and so the religious aspirations become the window of Satan’s entry as he hides in the carnal things (serpent) to voice his perceptions and protests to the Spiritual things. Colossians 2:11-12 “ In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.” They will abandon the cross (Christian priesthood) to establish another gospel that confirms their own record which is a lie. This becomes a sin unto death as that first enlightenment fades into greater struggles of the conscience. No circumcision is taking place and they use the law as their proxy for faith and Christian virtues and denying Christ His working. Your Rest and Refuge: Divine Stewardship Without stewardship the letter becomes only ink on paper and a form of hopeful divine guidance which will not materialize the real work of the Spirit. No Witness of the Father. 2 John 1:9 “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. The soul ceases to wander when the believer accepts the refuge of the stewardship which Christ inhabits. Personal studies of the letter never birthed His divine nature though it will challenge the soul to holiness and goodness for those ever learning . This is what Paul calls the “hidden things of darkness” which the unconverted believer will seek to conceal and cloak with fair words. Christian flattery and aspiring works will flow forth as their charity which is evil. The anointing unveils this guile and fornication exposing their sins beforehand. The counsels of the heart will debate this unction of God to protect the “dividing asunder” from taking place for their salvation to be sealed. Those that accept the counsel of God through His servant will have praise of God. 1 Corinthians 4:5 “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.” Every soul is exposed by this power of dividing, (circumcision) taking place in the heart. By this action you put-on Christ and die to the world. God put this activity into force by the stewardship as we will read in Luke. Notice Simeon points to the vessel and not the letter as the sign that will test hearts. Luke 2:34-35 “ And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” You must be washed to be sanctified for this work of salvation to meet His full stature. Hebrews 12:11 “Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.” Because Satan cannot enter this mystery the gates of hell cannot prevail. Satan can take ownership of false knowledge and a pseudo salvation making his own church and disciples. John 14:30 “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.” So who is Jesus going to communicate through? His apostles and chief elder Peter. That they will believe on Me through their (apostles) word. When ministers of unrighteousness removed the true apostolic calling and Christian priesthood they had no choice but to claim for themselves personal authority by text alone. It is that system you must come out of to be saved from that defiled gospel of bondage and learn of Christ in truth and verity.
