Every image can be broken down into pieces of a puzzle. Faith, Hope and Charity are like three pieces that make up the puzzle of the image of Christ. They are pieces that energize a soul to disobey this world. Every life outside the perimeter of Christ has something desirable about it. Every such life that we have drunk fashioned our former conversations. It took staying on the teachings to put pressure on that former life and empty us of it.
We have to be emptied of our former life for the cup of our souls to be filled with another life. The soul of man is a cup that houses life and can house two lives simultaneously unlike the cup of angels. God is taking this generation to a place where our souls would pleasure Him all day long. This hinges on our ability to drink all of His cup. The measure to which we have drank of His cup is the measure to which we can please the Lord. Also, the measure to which we have been purged of the cup of this world is the measure to which we have taken of the cup of the Lord and are tipsy of it.
Every thought pattern that is outside of the mind of Christ gives rise to a life that is contrary to Christ. Many of us are getting to a place where we unconsciously deny the world. The truth of Christ has flooded our consciousness and has even begun to penetrate our subconscious.
What pleases the Lord is to see our souls being totally emptied of the world. At this point, a soul can be said to be full of age (Hebrews 5:14). It took a negative full age to raise a man like Cain to slay his brother. It is going to take a positive full age for our senses to be overcome by the faith so that we deny the world unconsciously.
Every addition to faith is a displacement of a contrary life (2 Peter 1:5). The experiences we are going through are aimed at bringing us into the incorruptible realm. Jesus had first gone through the dealings of faith and then gotten to the point where corruption was expired in Him.
And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). It is those who have fulfilled the demands of faith, hope and charity that would have all things work together for their good. Such men can now go through certain sufferings that would enable them to fetch all things of Christ. The labour in the house is to produce those who love God.
The mystery of the Father and God is also a curriculum of knowledge that we have been called into. Just as godly men have been raised by the learning of Christ, there is currently a calling to glory and virtue to raise a different kind of man. The puzzle that is about to be resolved is the puzzle of incorruption.
It takes quick understanding to relate with the judgement of the word of God (Hebrews 4:12). Only Christs can be made to interact with this word for the purpose of being made sons of God. The menorah light cultures the heart to look beyond the infirmities of the soul and see the workings God has wrought in another.
The degree of our comprehension of the word depends on the age of Christ we have attained. Some of us can not comprehend the things of the Father being spoken of because there are some portions of Christ formation that we are yet to attain unto. This is why God is bringing forth His word for the purpose of our comfort.
We would be able to comprehend the conversations of faith, hope and charity that made Jesus holy, harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners if we stay on Christ and obey the commandments therein (Hebrews 7:26). Just as we have learned of Christ, we would also learn of the high priest till we receive the full import of eternal life. Just as sin was swallowed by the speaking of the prophecy of faith, the speaking of the love of God would swallow up death. We would pull down the hold of death as a result of the pastures that God is presently bringing our way.
