As a sober type of consciousness begins to dawn upon us, it is not that the world is not cracked up to be what it was spoken of to be, but that the people within the world are not as cracked up to be what their potential should be, which can make our operating in the world a bit tough, and at times, daunting. There is nothing wrong with the world; the world's realm will be the world's realm with or without human beings; but what makes the world appear positive or negative is the positive or negative energy given to it. We mean more to the world's invisible sphere, and to each other, than we really know. As what we do affects another, and as we are affected by what another does to us, so also how we treat the world's energy affects the conscious state of our atmosphere.
We do not have to contemplate whether or not our earth has ears. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth," Genesis 1:1, and if "God is a Spirit," John 4:24, then creation was accomplished by the force of no hand, and by no inspiration of flesh, but by sound, and through the vibrations of sound; this is why it says, "He spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast," Psalm 33:9. Creation cooperated with a specific commandment, and if "that which is born of the Spirit is spirit," John 3:6, and if it says, "Be renewed in the spirit of your mind," Ephesians 4:23, then it is evident that creation's mind meditated on the sound of the commandment of the LORD God's Spirit in order to become exactly what His intention was. As Spirit, because "a spirit hath not flesh and bones," Luke 24:39, the living God must communicate with whatever should capture His voice; whether physical or spiritual; by their mental faculties, by the conscience of their character's inward parts. The realm of our world is capable of hearing, and more than capable of listening, and this is important know, or at least to consider, because if creation's ear listened, and still obeys the living God's voice, how much more in tune is creation to the voice of this Spirit's thinking and feeling creature?
Such a thought opens us up to consider the fact that we are connected to our world's invisible atmosphere more than we think. As we do look around and observe much wrong committed within the world, we should know that, being born here, we play a role in our earth's wellbeing, and above the physical or environmental. There is wrong not because the world sucks, but because we suck; until we become right, the world's societal outlook will continue to hide the world's cognitive beauty. And so there may be some thing in us to help bring out that beauty, and there's nothing wrong with that, but if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if the living God first beheld it, then we ought to inquire of this Spirit's perspective of our realm's beauty, to beautify it according to His praise and intention. But how can we know what He thinks? Can we know His thoughts? If we cannot, then His Chief Priest has told us a lie by saying, "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine," John 7:17.
Creation's assignment actually explains our present employment as human beings. As creation had to hear and discern a commandment, to do it, so too "we have received a commandment from the Father," 2 John 1:4, concerning "all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him," 2 Peter 2:1. Today, our commandment for creation is this knowledge of a perfect conversation, and "perfect, as pertaining to the conscience," Hebrews 9:9. As the core of creation actually received the Spirit's voice to revive and reform its character, so too our conversation's character is to receive into its inward parts "the law of the Spirit of life," Romans 8:2, to possess that manner of godliness acceptable before His face. Our mind must learn of and do creation's law in order to receive "the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man," Titus 3:5, which benevolence is understood by how it says, "If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you," Romans 8:11.
Resurrection of the personal religion's mind is the living God's intention, to the end we may become a product to nourish and edify, even as was the LORD God's intention for our realm at creation. But to become as useful as we ought, some devotional changes are going to have to be made. Think about it like this: after creation, did creation remain in a decrepit state? In order for creation to become what it ought, did creation have to change any thing about its self? Keep in mind that the LORD God and His Spirit did no physical thing to alter creation; creation did act on its own to embrace the vision that the Godhead thought up for it. All that the LORD's Spirit did was speak; creation listened, creation examined, and creation executed. In this illustration is explained our own responsibility to the state of our mind and frame. There is no such thing as praying, "Help," or, "Teach me," or, "Lead me," without engaging our mind in creation's law and commandment. Prayer is not a wishing-well; the intercession of the LORD's High Priest is no Genie lamp; "we have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens," to educate our spiritual understanding on how to lawfully chase the benevolence of His Spirit.
As we, like creation, take in this Spirit's words, and only His words, to do them, knowledge of His Faith's intention will dawn upon our mind to encourage our service to His will and order. It is our responsibility to know just what the living God's will and wisdom is, and like as creation went in to creation in utter darkness of what to do and how to do it, but when, after thinking on the commandment, was found blessed by the commandment, so too learning heaven's language appears impossible, but if we never sit with His words, to prove them, then His language will consistently appear in a negative context. Thus, it is for the sake of our faith's higher learning that Paul counsels, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God," Romans 12:2. Creation's example is our standard educational template, and this template is actually sealed to creation's present science by the living God's Christ.
What is key to understand about this man on the tree is what this man represents when found on the tree. Above carnally or sensually observing a man on a tree, Paul opens up our mind to the revelation of the impression this illustration represents by saying, "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances," Ephesians 2:15. This Christ's flesh should not be thought on as the natural epidermis of the human being, but as the epidermis of a religious conversation. This Christ's "flesh" represents a specific religious philosophy, which philosophy preaches piety and purity of faith by the religious laws and traditions of priests and elders. The "law" Paul speaks of is the legal religious "handwriting of ordinances," Colossians 2:14, "after the commandments and doctrines of men." The LORD's Christ spoke against such a spirit and manner of devotion, saying to priests and elders; not only in this day, but also in ours; "Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition," Mark 7:9. The conversation of priests and ministers preaches, by their pen, that "righteousness come by the law," but this evident falsehood. Being "made under the law," this Christ's flesh on the tree represents the religious law, and the fact that no righteousness appears by obedience to the religious law, which is why it says, "He that is hanged is accursed of God," Deuteronomy 21:23.
What is accursed of the Word is no man, but is rather what the flesh of the man represents. What is accursed or condemned of the living God is the spirit and philosophy of Moses' hand, which religious conversation preaches that "you are justified by the law," Galatians 5:4, when it is that, in reality, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree," Galatians 3:13. To be "redeemed" from the law means to have the character of our religious conversation removed and utterly separated from the pen and inspiration of flesh, and this is exactly what Paul means when saying, "He that is dead is freed from sin," Romans 6:7. By this LORD's Christ on the tree, we today may confidently know that "the strength of sin is the law," 1 Corinthians 15:56. The religious law of priests and elders is today "sin," and if it is that our conversation is right, it is that our conversation is "dead" to what "sin" is by what the illustration of the flesh of the LORD's Christ on the tree represents. Herein we are made to understand that, if it is that "sin" is the religious law, and that our conversation is to be dead to the religious law; as Paul says, "I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God," Galatians 2:19; it is evident that our resurrection and reformation is to be from the traditional religious bill, which is why every doer of creation's commandment says, "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death," Romans 8:2.
Creation changed. Creation did not appear regenerated while exhibiting signs of decay. And this lesson is for us, that we should comprehend a necessary change in our conversation's conscience from the rule of flesh to the impression of the Spirit upon the spirit of our mind, which is why we are counseled, "Put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind," Ephesians 4:22,23.
We have a work to do, and it involves getting our conversation's mind right and sober. For the end of this sobriety is not even for our own selves; was creation's end for creation's benefit? Creation's Faith preaches an edifying benevolence through the Spirit's creation, for "the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned," 1 Timothy 1:5. We begin to do right for our environment when once we begin to pick up that course of learning to do right by self's personal mental and moral faculties. The living God's commandment is for the wellbeing of our inward person, to the end we may be able to kindly and respectfully care for self, and a major part of who we are as human beings is found in caring for one another, which is why the living God would have us heal our mind by His grace and wisdom before taking on any self-sacrificing service. We are all born for a very good reason, and that reason is to minister unto heaven's new covenant Faith, self, and other spirits, benevolently, and according to heaven's commandment of kindness. Our experience with salvation's science will awaken within our person a mind for how and where to apply our skills and talents, for if it is heaven's mission to heal the person, then it is right to learn of that mission, to execute it according to the individual person that we are, that by perfecting who we are, when together, we may be one body fit for a very lovely labor.
We all have jobs, but what makes life valuable is a mission. Mission's are not inherited, nor are they cultivated or manufactured by hands, but are uncovered to the person as the mind experiences. The living God's mission is creation for newness of thought and feeling to every willing soul temple, and as we do, patiently and temperately, become student-patients of His throne's will, and of His High Priest's mediation, His personal mission for us will dawn upon our conscience to awaken who and what we are to this present "time of reformation," Hebrews 9:10. All missions fulfill the person of the human being, making any and every job we have to do worthwhile, for, at the end of the day, we have a purpose to fuel our drive for the beginning of the next day, and throughout that day, and for every day of the week. We are here to bless according the living God's course of blessing; this is our mission; and to know how to do so, and as our individual person ought to do; for we each have a fragrance that belongs only to us; our mind needs to be re-educated and our heart washed. Both; our heart and mind; are baptized "with the washing of water by the word," Ephesians 5:26, to "purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God," Hebrews 9:14, that we may become fit creation's for His throne's will, executing the voice of His intention, and as a sure example of His purpose, "that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed," 1 Timothy 6:1.
