"And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of out Lord Jesus Christ" 1Thess. 5:23. I take on this subject with prayerful contemplation as; the adequacy of the answer we receive is a direct consequence implicit in the knowledge we have obtained from the revelation of God which is available in His Word, as it says: "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of Glory may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him" Eph.1:17.
It seems our God has big expectations of us, including the full knowledge of Him, as His word calls for a depth of understanding which must require more than a Quick ear tickling generic sermon, maybe a trip to the alter, and a few songs followed by a pot luck, which was once more or less my former settled for experience as a Christian; oh and of course a little bible study then desert. Well just what does God want from us anyway, after all it was His grace that saved us. And it was His predestination that brought us into belief. And now we are reminded each time we read The Word that He has these great expectations of us! Paul's statement on what he hoped to achieve in Christ in Phil. 3:12 was "Not that I have attained or am already perfected; but I press on that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me." The Lord then had a reason to lay hold of us and His word declares we are to lay hold or meet this challenge of realization of why by a diligent search that will involve all of us, spirit-soul and body. Therefore it is incumbent upon us to find a meaning for these three parts of our being so that we might make a responsible application of God"s desire for us to form a mature spiritual image within ourselves of our Christianity.
Sanctify, there's that word again, it means separated, By who? by God Himself; and it is all of us that is sanctified wholly! What are we separated from? The world and all things common to the flesh, no part of our being is to be left to the ordinary or natural man, which is profane to God in all his ways. His Word also names three parts of us set aside in what could only be, a spiritual positional sanctified identification by The Father; spirit, soul, body.This does not mean the effect is not experienced here and now, but it must be the perception of the Father that defines its source, which the Bible declares is contained in Christ. The spirit is our innermost part which possesses a consciousness of God in the newly created Christian a regenerated mind/ spirit that was formally dead, and now alive, so that we may have contact with God Himself. The soul is our self or being which also contains our personality which after the new birth acts as a medium between our spirit and body, this is eternity or immortality occupying our mortal body's, or a knowledge of God which changes our total self, we now have a new self consciousness which is godly and will be carried into heaven itself; all this is accomplished in spirit. The body is now also effected in that it will be the contact with the material world to display the new creation that is in our spirit/mind and soul/personality. In other words the body contains the soul and the soul contains the spirit. God lives in our spirit by our knowledge and depth of understanding of who He is and who we are positioned in His Son. We are thus sanctified by God, Him taking possession of our spirit in positioning us in His Son which was accomplished on the Cross and subsequent Resurrection and Ascension and realized in our new birth; this is regeneration. So it goes, God enlivens our spirit which impacts our soul /personality or transforms us into a new man/women in the body. Our mortality will be be transfigured at His coming by His sanctifying power, a new creature in Christ. All this is show to us by the Holy Spirit, which is the mind of Christ in us, which we grow in [The Holy Spirit] by this knowledge.
The sanctification we have is complete, which is qualitative. The wholly is quantitative. In other words He perfected the sanctification of the soul, spirit and body of the believer by separating us in His judgement and evaluation of us and that by His Son. In the fall of man we were ruined contaminated and our spirit's became dead. In salvation our whole being, seen by God in spirit is saved set aside. That was accomplished by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and is held in representation by The risen Lord who humbled Himself and became a man for that purpose. It is then incumbent upon us that by the Word and by faith in His Word, we learn to walk in spiritual maturity and the Word's of scripture are the only guide we have as to what we are, and what we are is wholly and completely formed in Christ the object of a subjective understanding we must abide in. That is a spiritual position only realized by faith in a fact!
What about the sinful action of our flesh on the earth in this body, so favored, in which we dwell? Paul had this to say; "For I do not do the things which I will to do [not sin]; but the evil I do not will [sin], this I practice" Rom 7:19. He goes on to describe that the problem is the sin that dwells in him [the old Adam nature]; then he asks who will deliver him from this condition he describes as death; and the answer, inspired by God's Words is that it is through Jesus Christ our Lord that we will have this deliverance! How? Paul's answer by/in his "MIND"! Above we have by Scriptures had described to us in the Word of God how we are wholly sanctified spirit ,soul, and body. How do we reconcile this image to Paul's dilemma who was living in the exact same circumstance as us; a born again believer? The answer might be in our first contemplating the non-corporal nature of God. He can be described as a un-embodied Mind, the Word [Jesus] became flesh. Here Word is seen in the Greek as a intention of God's Mind. The same Mind which created the universe. We, mankind, were created in His image, which in the Hebrew means shadow, not physical, in other words our thoughts/personality/spirit/soul are like God, non-corporal. All that image we were created in, contained in a flesh body, died as to ability to communicate with the Father when Adam sinned, he/we became dead. Now enters Jesus Christ and the answer found, to Paul's problem and ours, by His Judaical accomplishment on the cross. We were judged by The Father to die, as we sin, the sentence was eternal death for all mankind, but because of the Fathers great Love for us He carried out the completion of that Judaical mandate by offering His Son to to fulfill this, our judicial sentence. In God's economy [Mind], it was completed and all that we could be to God we became and was contained in that act and image of and by Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, who willingly accepted His fate, while living in the same body[flesh] as us with the same feelings as us, He walked by faith in a knowledge of His oneness with God, not depending on His own power while He was on the earth, as we are too also, in answer to Jesus prayer in John, 17. You see my friends all the power of God, and the Son's volitional choice to sacrifice Himself is contained in their non-corporal mind, which is Faith. So you see this sanctification we so enjoy, while we feel it in our physical condition by works and emotions, is not where we must live in our eternal nature before the eye's of God, "lest any man should boast." Position is paramount in understanding our Christian existence. We hold the subjective truth in our mental/spiritual/soul in a wholly complete sanctified image of who we are before God in the faith of this fact, by faith; Jesus Christ is the only object in which we can be defined held in God's mind, and we are held in that object in spirit as spirit, by the Father, our salvation can never be worked out are realized/defined, by our physical corporal actions or emotions, no matter how well meaning or good the intent may be!
I believe that our problem today in the Christian world, is one of perception. Our brain, Adams organ, works by observations through the senses and processes that stimulus to conclusion. The basis for much of those conclusion's, at least the intellectual reasoning ones, is knowledge, that is already stored in the memory files contained in its flesh. But this, mans processing center can be influenced by outside forces. Enter Satan, the "prince of the power of the air," in other words the ruler and guiding force of the world system that Adam joined up with in the garden, and hence all of mankind, where we all live in our current flesh, Adam personality existence. He reminds me of a magician, using slight of hand. Truly as the saying goes, the magic is in the eye of the beholder. The prince, who is spirit, encourages his audience to look at his left hand while the rabbit is deposited in the hat with the right. In many ways I wish for times gone by for the Christian. Not so long ago most people in the world had very little in way of security and comfort their only rest from the strife of life was a hope for relief in the next. It did not take much to convince the average peasant that there was a God and Him by the Saviour Jesus Christ, as they were in much need of relief and had little diversion to convince them otherwise. The modern era changed all that and the magician has been at work and is enabled by it. He does not need his tricks for the unbelieving world, they are already taken in hook, line, and sinker. Now all his time is concentrated on those that believe, as they are the only ones he needs to fool. Then the question becomes were is our focus?
I was talking with a fellow positional friend the other day and he asked; how many have come to you and said they see a glimpse of a new truth by exposure to your writing and conversation; which are dominated by a hope for the realization of the position we are held in the View of God, which is the same view as He sees when He looks at His Son, to be opened the their understanding? The answer was disappointingly low, perhaps with a few maybe putting their toes in the water. I was at one time resentful about this seeming lack of interest, no longer. I trust in God's timing to prevail and there may be many who are passing along the road to liberty than I am unaware of. I have no great need to receive a progress report. My gain has been freedom, joy and peace in gaining positional knowledge, and that is a much more far surpassing gift than some recognition that will probably only serve my prideful Adam nature.
Some of the above understanding of spirit, soul and body were taken from readings of Mr Nee and I am grateful for his incite. I leave you with this quote from my new best friend and mentor J. Butler Stoney, dead these past hundred years or so. " I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" Phil. 3:14. We must be truth centered to be Christ centered. " With a increase of knowledge and apprehension of the truth, there is a constant sense that we are not practicality up to what we have received; and hence the measure of our strength is not the enjoyment of truth, but to the extent to which we maintain what we believe in spite of every obstacle. It is the way in which we surmount the difficulties in our path, and not the enjoyment of the truth, which defines position".

THE CONSECRATED SPIRIT
These two words, consecration and spirit are very little understood by the average Christian. I know this to be true, because I am average. As I begin to write on this challenging subject it is with much trepidation. The word consecration is defined by the secular world as; a solemn commitment of your life to some cherished purpose. I see lots of problems for the Christian in this simple definition, because it puts all the responsibility for the consecration of our spirit's on us, which has historically for me proved to be a very weak choice indeed. And I know I have tended to view consecration from this, a definition of my natural mans earthly perspective. The second difficulty I encounter here is making a good case for spirit, often seen as a nebulous word, which I have struggled with mightily to understand, and which has proven to be resistant to being boxed up with a pretty ribbon! But here goes my friends hold on tight we are in for a exciting ride and I hope a revealing one.
In the old testament times it was only the Priest who could enter in to the Holy of Holies Through the Vail in the Temple, so therefore it was not the Jewish people who were consecrated for this purpose, but a special representative, originally Aaron. He was marked for service as a High Priest consecrated by God. Now in these later days the Vail has been torn open, so we may have access to the very Throne Room of God, and the open door to this consecration [His presence] was made by the blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ. It was by His Representation of and for us we all became priests, when we received the Holy Spirit at our new birth. This is true consecration not of our work, but His. In order to serve Him in a way that is faithful to Gods economy it is imperative we discover how to live out this truth in our daily lives. In Matt.12:4 the ceremonial eating of the consecrated bread, [a Jewish tradition] a bread that is so sacred that it speaks of the presence of God [a theme also found in our Lords Table service] a Representative form of Him to be consumed. By this we may see this word consecration is not merely to be defined as a ceremony or personal decision, which might but aside a building or a alter or even a life for the use of God; no for us the people of the new creation, it is bound up in our positional presence in Christ, and that by faith only!
I think perhaps looking at the word constrained here as used in 2 Cor. 14-15, might serve to clarify consecration, as its meaning is brought into the lives of new testament believers by Paul's words on the actions taken in our stead by Jesus Christ. " For the love of Christ constrains us because we have judged this, that One died for all,[ therefore all died in identification and positionally with Christ]; and he died for all that those who live, may no longer live to themselves [consecration] but to Him who died for them [consecrated by His actions] and has been raised." The thing here is, that His love constrains us to take definitive action. In the original Greek this word constrained is defined thus; to press on from all sides; to one end, to forcibly limit, to confine to one object, within certain bounds, to shut up to one line or purpose, as a narrow walled road. As I look at the confining reality of this definition of how our consecrated lives can only by faith be held in our conscious understanding of Christianity as, a position we are in held there by Jesus Christ in the Fathers presence, I see I have much work to do! My friends lets go forward and learn together to accept this a most great and wonderful gift found in Him our object Jesus Christ.
" I exhort you therefore, brothers through the compassion of God to present you bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service" Rom. 12:1.. In the Hebrew language the word consecration means; " to have one's hands filled, signifying work, serving. When our hands are full we have room for nothing else. For the Priest Aaron it meant he must be totally immersed in the fact as to his mind/soul being dedicated to the service of the living God to enter into the Holy of Holies or he would die. This is the sense Paul is using here when he says "which is your reasonable service". God has called all His children to serve Him, we must be consecrated to that service by having the knowledge of our presence in Christ positionally, no room in our hands for any worldly thing or flesh natural habitation, as anything of us that functions in the old man is unacceptable to the Father. In The Fathers love He has paid the ransom with His Son's blood, shed to allow us to enter into a sanctified privilege, by His Son we have been consecrated, no longer a work or held to a legal standard as the old Testament Priest. It now is freely given by Grace to the new priest " bought with a price". Here is where our role in consecration comes in. Have we been touched by the magnitude of that offering, that scale of love, and recognized "your reasonable service" by striving to understand as much as we can of the position that places us in, and that we as Christians are contained and defined spiritually only in His Son? When we have by faith, in the words of scripture, which teaches that all we can ever be, is found in the Object Jesus Christ in Heaven before the Father, then we may accept the offer to serve and by His grace offer ourselves for service, fully consecrated
"He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit [with Him]" 1 Cor. 6:17. This is a most powerful statement. How does it apply to consecration? We are speaking here of the consecrated spirit; our spirit being defined as the mind of our new creation which is contained in our soul or personality implanted by Grace, which has been regenerated by God, positioned in His Son by our new birth and realized by The Holy Spirit in us, which makes us one spirit with Christ, a position of consecration by His power. I know, I might if asked, confuse consecration with sanctification and I must admit the concept is still difficult to grasp. But one thing I did discover by this writing is that my being consecrated to and in Jesus is by the Father, not something formed by my own decision making as in a purposeful sanctification or a volitional separation from worldly things or a methodology of making my old Adam self better. I think of a man on a dark path, he holds a light to show the way. The beam displays the next place on the path before him and he may step with confidence because of the light source provided by the lights power, showing him the illuminated path before him, where he should step. But it is the source of power which provides the means to maintain the way and he steps with a assurance of safety. When he arrives at his destination, he may then serve at that place because it was God's power, that provided the light to show him the way. He has entered by that light, and has been sanctified [separated] in a consecrated position, which is that of The Son.
"Do not present your body to sin as instruments of unrighteous; but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness" Rom 6:13. This is a urging by Paul to the Romans to realize who they are "alive from the dead," not a rule he is laying down not to sin. In our death, represented by Christ's on the cross we were sanctified [set aside] forever and also consecrated for ever. We just need to learn how we can live out that reality. The answer is by studying the Word of God! Consecration really means simply "abide" or to live in a truth. Miles Stanford put it like this. "When we accept Christ we become sons of God, because its in Him that our son ship is found. So that in receiving Him we are now associates in the Spirit to Him by representation, that is, His presence before God. Do not confuse consecration with sanctification. Consecration takes on a solemn sacred doctrinal meaning, where sanctification is to be separated or set aside from something. both are spiritual in there ultimate meaning for the Christian, but consecration as seen in the conscious mind does not call upon us to do anything, but rest in what God has already done. Unless we know that we have been sanctified in the Lord Jesus [positionally separated] we cannot respond in consecration with Him."
So my friends it once again comes down to identifying ourselves with Jesus in His death and Resurrection, and thereby we may realize our position with and in Him before the father. This will be accomplished by reckoning [count as true ] the Word of God, when it says. "As he is so are we". Take note, it does not say we shall- be as He is, but that we are right now, and He is in Heaven. Yes we will be as He is in Glory that is true, but the Bible says, "As He is, so are we in THIS world,"- not heaven, and we find ourselves there by faith only, in that position, as represented by Jesus, before the Father. We cannot be placed in a more lofty position, and it could not be any other place, there is no higher position, as He died to put us there to satisfy The Fathers Heart. The supreme act of consecration.

ADAM OR ADAM: YOUR CHOICE
There is much talk today in Christendom about free will as the culprit in the human race choosing to sin. Free will is defined as the power of acting without the constraint of the necessity of fate [or faith] the ability to act at ones own discretion without constraints. Most Christians, if pressed, will assign the propensity to sin and the evil in the world to mans free will. The Lord has impressed upon me lately, through the writing of John Darby, that this is simply not true. Yes man, in the garden, did make a free choice to turn to his own self centered effort, thereby sin entered into the world, that put us in a position of eternal death, separated from God forever and in dire need of redemption. It is little understood that Adam's choice ended free will for all of mankind forever, the available choices of fallen man, a man now in the flesh, all were lost to death, the death of body, soul and spirit. In and of itself, the flesh [mans totality of being] will always remain in death even for the Christian as Christ died unto the flesh. If man as a natural being in the flesh is lost to sin, in and of himself, he has but one choice available to him; he cannot chose good, that would be and still is impossible, therefore no free will, for he is in God's sight as to his existence in the flesh only sinful and as Jesus said;" only God is good". If Adam has only the choice of the bad, or evil, he has no free will. If he had chose good, that would mean he did not have good to begin with, and if you are bad or sinful choosing good does not make you good. Then we must ask what remains for us to do? Fear not you my friends of faith, for your Redeemer is drawing close, and the way that redemption will be lived out is your choice; in the first Adam or the last.
In looking at the problem of applying free will to the Christians life, I think it is better to see our choices as acts of volition. Which is defined as; the act or an instance of making a conscious choice or decision. Volition may also be seen as a psychological function, much like affection [emotional] or even motivation, as volition can be applied consciously for a end purpose, our discretion and constraints are involved here; unlike pure free will. Volitional will also can become a automatized response or habit becoming so over time, such as continuing to behave or act out in a certain manner when confronted by a specific stimuli. Just what then does this have to do with living out our Christianity?
In the Scofield Study Bible, there is a quite reveling note on this matter on page 1716, which I will quote and give Bible references for further study. " Flesh," in the ethical sense, is the whole natural or unregenerate man, spirit, soul, and body-as centered upon self, prone to sin, and opposed to God Rom. 7:18. The regenerate man is not in the flesh but in [the sphere of, or under the influence of] the Holy Spirit Rom. 8:9; but the flesh is still in him and he may according to choice, [volition] walk according to the flesh or the Spirit 1Cor. 3:1-4 Gal. 5:16-17. In the first case he is a carnal Christian; in the second a spiritual Christian. Victory over the flesh will be the habitual experience of the Christian who walks in the Spirit Rom. 8:2,4, Gal 5:17-17." I know I wish to be known to God as one who walks in the Spirit, and certainly victory is my preferred life as a Christian it seems that it is all up to me. If this is true why then do we fail so often, by not choosing to live our lives in victory and the knowledge of our presence in Christ? The answer lies in our own volition, and according to the Bible, is because of the the Adam we choose to remain in.
Lets clear the air here. When we were born again we became a new creation, we were given a brand new regenerated spirit, before God we became completely new, NOT IN THE FLESH. What does that mean? The new spirit you were given at the moment of belief does not mean the one that lives, [think of your sinful mind] inside of you was made better, so that you may now walk on the earth a completed man, once again seen by the Father as good, no the new creation which is your new birth, is ONLY found residing in the person of Jesus Christ, and Him before the Father representing you. What you were given by this gift of new birth was the Holy Spirit, and His only purpose is to glorify Christ by enabling you in your mind, still a man in the flesh, to mortify that fleshly person [kill it] by coming to the full realization that your new spiritual / mental personality which has eternal life, not your old personality in the flesh, is entirely held in the mind of God in seeing you, as he views His Son the glorified New Adam; " For you have died and your life [now seen by God in Jesus] is hid with Christ in God "Col. 3:3. My friends this leaves us in a position of choices, all by our own volitional will. We may listen to the Holy Spirit describe this truth about us in God's Word, and accept it in a moment by moment faith," studying to show ourselves approved" always praying for more of our life in Christ to be revealed and appropriating the Gift of the knowledge of our objective position in Jesus Christ that is made clear in the Words of Scripture and thereby we become a growing, spiritual, man or women. OR we may make a volitional choice to remain in the flesh, as to our understanding of our Christianity by remaining ignorant of this truth, defeated by the life of a dead man alive in us, a carnal [flesh] christian. Again you choose, the first Adam fallen or the Last Victorious.
God our Father has imparted in us a new life and new nature, to which nothing of the old Adam's sinful nature can be applied, in other words our flesh nature cannot be attached to the new or have any part in it, after all we the new man which we are, is seen by The Father in Christ in Glory, our position. This only makes sense as God can have nothing what so ever to due with sin, which we will always be associated with on this earth! We, ourselves personally, here on the earth, are in a mixed condition, as we carry two principals within us, we do actively sin in the flesh, and we do have Christ our salvation alive in us; but that knowledge of His life in us is by the Holy Spirit revealing to our mind that we are hid IN Christ in position. A mingled condition in the body if you will. But remember according to the Bible the old nature that is still in us is not allowed or accepted, and as a matter of fact for the purpose of God's economy is a dead thing, and the second, or new nature which is contained in Jesus, we hold in ourselves by faith or you might say is only recognized by faith. Once again it seems we must make a choice.
It must be forever held and thoroughly understood, for position in Christ to hold sway over us and have power in our life, that we see that Jesus Christ died on the Cross to accomplish a judicial purpose; God's judgement of the sin of mankind! And that remains true of us in the condition we find ourselves here in the flesh as Christians, having been forgiven. But we by a volitional choice must make it true to ourselves, in accepting by faith the eternal result of this judicial reality; we exist in Christ, Him in His person, our eternal life "hid in Christ in God", and He as our Federal Representative there, in Glory, for that purpose. Again this will only be realized by faith, and your volitional conscious choice of accepting this fact, given by God's grace and truth found in His Word.
My dear brother and sisters in Christ from the bottom of my heart I pray you consider the following with deep contemplation; If it were not important for the life of the Christian in the conduct of His relationship with the Father the picture presented in the Word, "The first Adam was made a living soul" 1 Cor. 15:45 would not be necessary. We all know that, that soul, fell into sin hence the need for a Saviour; enter the Biblical concept for our consideration, the Last Adam. "The Last Adam was made a life-giving Spirit" 1 Cor 15:45. This realization changed everything for me! You see I was lucky enough to reach an end, as I found that conducting my Christian persona under my soul's realization in my earthly life of the first Adam could only bring sadness and spiritual death. The Bible says "we are strangers and Pilgrims here" and that we are to be " as He [Jesus Christ] is in Heaven here on Earth" and that we "are hid in Christ in God". Now I don't know about you but I sure couldn't live up to or visualize that in the way I conducted my life as a Adamic man, and did not see myself as a man " being conformed into the image of Christ". It was at the bottom of the barrel of need that God presented me His Son in The Last Adam; I learned that my Christian life would only have the Joy and victory God wished for me by entering into by Faith the Word of God, which says that we are held in a spiritual place in Heaven, in His Son and that all I was trying to do by working in my old self contained christian soul in the flesh was of no value what-so-ever. You see my friends Christ's Death on The Cross was to do away with that old man and thereby we entered a entirely" new creation," the old way of the earthly man is gone for me. I am now conducting my affairs on this sin racked evil planet as a "new man" with a completely new spirit, which is not contained in my old man here,which would be impossible as he sins! I am by Faith identified and positioned in the object of all beauty, the Holy Son of God , the creator of the universe, and I have full and open access to the very Throne room of God by that faith. This, a new creation, enables me to place my old nature still contained in my body in a place of death and conduct my Christian life from a platform of heavenly power, a vantage point of great advantage indeed. Come up my Christian friends the view is most lovely and the air is clear. Pray for the need and desire to know this positional truth and God will grant you by His grace the Gift of faith to make the most important volitional choice you have ever made; that of living in a active realized eternal life now and here.
In looking at the problem of applying free will to the Christians life, I think it is better to see our choices as acts of volition. Which is defined as; the act or an instance of making a conscious choice or decision. Volition may also be seen as a psychological function, much like affection [emotional] or even motivation, as volition can be applied consciously for a end purpose, our discretion and constraints are involved here; unlike pure free will. Volitional will also can become a automatized response or habit becoming so over time, such as continuing to behave or act out in a certain manner when confronted by a specific stimuli. Just what then does this have to do with living out our Christianity?
In the Scofield Study Bible, there is a quite reveling note on this matter on page 1716, which I will quote and give Bible references for further study. " Flesh," in the ethical sense, is the whole natural or unregenerate man, spirit, soul, and body-as centered upon self, prone to sin, and opposed to God Rom. 7:18. The regenerate man is not in the flesh but in [the sphere of, or under the influence of] the Holy Spirit Rom. 8:9; but the flesh is still in him and he may according to choice, [volition] walk according to the flesh or the Spirit 1Cor. 3:1-4 Gal. 5:16-17. In the first case he is a carnal Christian; in the second a spiritual Christian. Victory over the flesh will be the habitual experience of the Christian who walks in the Spirit Rom. 8:2,4, Gal 5:17-17." I know I wish to be known to God as one who walks in the Spirit, and certainly victory is my preferred life as a Christian it seems that it is all up to me. If this is true why then do we fail so often, by not choosing to live our lives in victory and the knowledge of our presence in Christ? The answer lies in our own volition, and according to the Bible, is because of the the Adam we choose to remain in.
Lets clear the air here. When we were born again we became a new creation, we were given a brand new regenerated spirit, before God we became completely new, NOT IN THE FLESH. What does that mean? The new spirit you were given at the moment of belief does not mean the one that lives, [think of your sinful mind] inside of you was made better, so that you may now walk on the earth a completed man, once again seen by the Father as good, no the new creation which is your new birth, is ONLY found residing in the person of Jesus Christ, and Him before the Father representing you. What you were given by this gift of new birth was the Holy Spirit, and His only purpose is to glorify Christ by enabling you in your mind, still a man in the flesh, to mortify that fleshly person [kill it] by coming to the full realization that your new spiritual / mental personality which has eternal life, not your old personality in the flesh, is entirely held in the mind of God in seeing you, as he views His Son the glorified New Adam; " For you have died and your life [now seen by God in Jesus] is hid with Christ in God "Col. 3:3. My friends this leaves us in a position of choices, all by our own volitional will. We may listen to the Holy Spirit describe this truth about us in God's Word, and accept it in a moment by moment faith," studying to show ourselves approved" always praying for more of our life in Christ to be revealed and appropriating the Gift of the knowledge of our objective position in Jesus Christ that is made clear in the Words of Scripture and thereby we become a growing, spiritual, man or women. OR we may make a volitional choice to remain in the flesh, as to our understanding of our Christianity by remaining ignorant of this truth, defeated by the life of a dead man alive in us, a carnal [flesh] christian. Again you choose, the first Adam fallen or the Last Victorious.
God our Father has imparted in us a new life and new nature, to which nothing of the old Adam's sinful nature can be applied, in other words our flesh nature cannot be attached to the new or have any part in it, after all we the new man which we are, is seen by The Father in Christ in Glory, our position. This only makes sense as God can have nothing what so ever to due with sin, which we will always be associated with on this earth! We, ourselves personally, here on the earth, are in a mixed condition, as we carry two principals within us, we do actively sin in the flesh, and we do have Christ our salvation alive in us; but that knowledge of His life in us is by the Holy Spirit revealing to our mind that we are hid IN Christ in position. A mingled condition in the body if you will. But remember according to the Bible the old nature that is still in us is not allowed or accepted, and as a matter of fact for the purpose of God's economy is a dead thing, and the second, or new nature which is contained in Jesus, we hold in ourselves by faith or you might say is only recognized by faith. Once again it seems we must make a choice.

THE WONDER OF WEAKNESS
In a more thoroughly defined translation of 2 Cor.12:9 it could be read as " He [Christ] said to me My strength is sufficient for it is only by means of conscious weakness that power is developed" Paul said he "would boast in this weakness [his thorn in the flesh] as that is how the Power of Jesus Christ is perfected in him". As God reveled my weakness in my old Adam natural mans earthly function and form I discovered a new strength and power. The weakness of a realized failed ability to carry out my Christian life on my own power brought me to the place where over time, as my identity in Christ was realized, I came to trust His all sufficient strength. The wonder of weakness provided the true path to what I could be in Him.
After all if we the failed man from the garden turned to our own way, and in that we became breakers of the perfect law of The Father, and were then judicially sentenced to death in Christ on the Cross; how in the world could we think in our own self we might serve God? Its really almost laughable if it wasn't so sad. Oh the hoops we jump through to make ourselves justified. Empires were built to serve the religious need to appear to be righteous followers of Christ; and on and on the tower of the natural mans strength is being fortified brick by brick, and all of this, mans own building, is only destined to fall like the Temple did in 70 AD.We are told in the Bible to" mortify our bodies". Does this mean to pull ourselves up by the boot straps of self discipline and not sin, or are we to imagine, that in any way we of ourselves in the natural might please God in the flesh? No that can not be, for as soon as one sin is put down another arises from the ashes. So therefore this command can only mean that a realization must take place as to who we are in Christ, a new man, and in that we will find ourselves in our own mind as well as The Fathers view, to be counted as mortified, and that by faith in a representative death of another. How can we live out this thought in a active vital way is the question? My friends we have a high calling, a radical path before us, but our God has given us a useful tool provided in His wisdom, our own weakness.
John Darby said " Experience is useful to make us feel the need of a deliverer-our own weakness. When we have made discovery of it, we come to know that God in sending His Son, has condemned sin in the flesh." What is it we are delivered from by experiencing our own weakness? It is ourselves. In looking at myself from the weakness and sin I have suffered I can become convinced that good does not exist in me, and then by that knowledge I may count it as true that I have died, " for you have died, and it is no longer you that live but Christ in you." This my friends is the genius behind our Father using the very thing Adam's life left in us, sin resulting in pain and weakness to cause us to realize there is no value in anything we are of ourselves in the natural, and causes us to finely look to the Lord to be delivered by weakness, from ourselves. Paul was the greatest example of this very real and necessary Biblical truth which must be understood to gain a active honest and real Christian life. Read Romans 6, 7, and 8 to see the incite provided a suffering servant who has embraced this concept, and thereby became a man convinced that his positional self realization and service can only function on this earth by using weakness provided by the Father, in leaving us to dwell in the natural man; to make known the only course for the Christian is being self aware and identified in Christ, and that by, the weakness and suffering that The Father placed upon His Son in our stead, as the example for us. The wonder of weakness.
The suffering of another, The Son of God, and in our relating to it by observing our own weakness, as we suffer in the flesh, will enable us to partake in the practical renunciation of our own sinful natural nature and thereby enter into liberty and growth, resulting in spiritual maturity. This my friends is the way for us, we must make good use of all that God in the sacrifice of His Son has given us. The flesh, Adam man, can never be made any better, and our Father in His unrelenting love for us has determined to deal with that fact. He allows the natural earthly path of suffering, resulting in weakness, to make available to our conscious mind that we in Adam are nothing, while this may not be pleasant, it provides a choice; do we use this God's tool for knowing our life hidden in Christ, as it was intended, or shall we continue to proceed along the wide way provided in a form of worship designed to create loyalty to a institutional experience, based on catering to the works and feelings of a new and improved stronger Adamic race of men on earth?
The Bible says, "we are always to bear about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus." In other words I count it as true that in my apprehension of myself as a natural man I am to consider myself dead! We are made nothing then and that is to be in our own understanding. This is not power my friends, but it is the way the Father gives power. Our weakness by the Fathers mandate is where we find the preparation for power in position. Paul said of this; "I glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me." God cannot make us know the power of a life identified and positioned in Christ by the strength of the natural man, that would be Him using the mind of the flesh, the Word says, "they that are in the flesh cannot please God". So then how shall we live? By recognizing the identity of our weakness in the flesh as the antidote, we cannot live the true Christian life by our own works and feelings. We by Christs weakness, His suffering on the Cross were judicially made to be, "not in the flesh, but in the Spirit" The practical out come of this is" through the Spirit we mortify the deeds of the body and we shall live." By mortify it means we are simply to live by the knowledge that our life eternal starting here in the body, on this earth, is not our own, we have a new nature which is identified in Jesus Christ in heaven, and the proof for that is brought to our mind by the weakness we bear in our flesh, which by the Fathers reckoning, [the flesh] is a dead thing anyway. When we find ourselves made nothing and weak in the self appraisal of our natural man, we will find the Christian.
It took me many years to finally realize that nothing outside of Jesus Christ can fully satisfy! The principal of joy is found "in the fellowship of His sufferings" for we are partakers of His sufferings" 1Pet. 4:13. In embracing this positional aspect of our spiritual presence in Christ we are then practically separated from all that is here. The Church in the world has provided a host of perhaps well meaning men and women to help us avoid our embedded fleshly weakness and maybe there is something to be learned in their words, but if its only to fortify the old nature where is the glory? I went along many years reading the gurus of christian worldly culture and woke up to find it was all really a effort to mix up natural feelings of my Adam man with a spiritual man to provide what at the time I thought was a divine joy; only to be left unsatisfied, still firmly positioned in a dead man. The truth I found in the resulting weakness was that everything I gained by this effort, that outwardly brought me joy, sooner or later failed. I then came to believe His Word, "it is in our weakness He is made strong". And it is in our weakness embraced, that the power of being positionally aware is held and that by applying the teaching of Gods Word by faith.
I recently came across a couple of Greek words that I thought illustrate the incite we will need to more fully understand the wonder of weakness. The first is, peripatetic, which is a Aristotelian word meaning to move about. In the sense used by the philosopher it came to define one mentally going about his life with the benefit of the knowledge gained from a certain school of thought. This idea is brought to bear for the Christian, in position, and in this bloggers life, and the the weakness found in our flesh is key. My Father says that I have died and that I am now alive in Him, and in Him only. My experience contradicts this.. So I have to find my flesh as a judged and crucified thing. My pain and weakness drives me to faith in this fact, therefore I can say with Paul, " in my infirmities the power of Christ rests upon me." The second word, oikoniomia, which is used in 1 Tim. 13-7, and means as used there; the stewardship of God's economy. But if we looked at the meaning of Gods economy in a larger sense we will find it is simply means God's plan to dispense Himself into our humanity. The principal of weakness is used by God in His plan for us, and if our eye's are opened by His work in allowing weakness and pain in our sinful flesh, it is then we will find ourselves in the only possible place of glory for mankind, identified and positioned in our mind, in Jesus Christ!
"The Lord keeps me then; He sends a thorn, if needed, to put me down completely. When the flesh is practically put down in its place of death, then Christs strength is made perfect in my weakness, for there can be no doubt that is His strength. Are your hearts content that the old man should be put down? Are you glad of it? Can you glory in infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon you"? W.K.
