Regarding Your Soul
What is the final destination of your soul? What habits do you walk in that ensure such fate? Wherefore does your mind wander to find the sustaining savor that satisfies and edifies your soul, if any such source exists at all?
Regard all things that edify the soul. For that which edifies the soul determines its palate, and it is the palate that condones the conduct of spirit which shall enter into the heart of man. Regard all things for the sake of your soul’s salvation because it is your soul that cannot be nailed to the cross, but only the flesh. It is the flesh alone that can perish to the afflictions and wickedness of the world, and lest you shall err unto the ways of such - following after your fleshly desires, constricted and enticed by carnality and its tempest - your soul shall go back to live with its Creator, Savior and Redeemer, its King whom shall reign over it forever more, Jesus Christ.
Therefore, let not your soul be determined by the flesh - influenced and overtaken by the likes and dislikes of the world, but rather by the edifying and refining fire of the Lord thy God. Let your soul eat the bread of Christ - of the Word of God, and drink of His fountain of Living Water, which flows everlastingly from His throne of grace, as it is written: so that, regardless of all things that are to come, your soul is bonded to the one and only True Living God, and His Spirit that dwells within you, so that your truthful salvation may be complete - perfected, and fulfilled in the climactic end of all time at the coming of our Lord, Savior, Creator and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Be bold, and be confident in the Lord and before Him. Bowed down - always - in your heart first, in reverence and humility before Him; having confidence in Christ’s sacrifice, and His total annulment for your prosecution before God, so that you may be made able to stand before the Lord with confidence that He hearkens unto your words. Also, with the understanding that He, the Lord your God, is Faithful and accomplishes all things for your good in His due and appointed timing.
For we are seated in Heavenly places with Christ Jesus, and through Christ Jesus. The beauty of His Glory shall continue to evolve and flourish within you as you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in prayer and take up your mind as you continue to regard all things for the sake of your soul’s salvation in Christ. For it is with His leadership & guidance that we are led into battle in the spirit - in the heavenly places where, with Christ, we are seated - in such stature and armor, so that we may reign victorious: triumphant over the powers and forces in the realms of darkness that rule beyond the veil of grace that God has established for us; only to see behind when it is for the sake of His wisdom and will being given us alone. It is through Christ alone that our salvation comes. It is through. Christ alone that our strength is given us. It is through Christ alone we are made able to bear the face of and enter into the eternal dwelling place of the Most High God - One, True, and Mighty. It is through the laceration of Christ’s rib that we can be made into His sinless and holy Bride. He, the ultimate Adam, and us, the ultimate Eve. Just as Eve was given life from Adam’s rib, likewise are we given life through the final and vindicating stripe of Jesus upon His right side. History began and shall end with a righteous, holy, and sinless bride, being conveyed by the right hand of God to Her magnificent and life-bearing Husband. Both were born complete and bearing the face of God’s Miraculous Glory. For He is glorious and worthy of being praised forever and ever. From glory to shining glory. From eternity to gleaming eternity.
Unto Him be the glory forever and ever, even forever more. In Jesus’ Holy and Hallowed, Precious and Mighty name. Amen and Amen.
(Scripture reflection - Ephesians 5:15-21)
