- “But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; (righteousness is not time dependent; it is not from here)“
- Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
- But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
- even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
- That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us (by the knowledge of the Law fulfilled), who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
- And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life (by the knowledge of the Law fulfilled) because of righteousness.
- For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (law made for transgressions in the flesh)
- But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: (and ova fertilized by Him Who is outside this dimension)
- Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
- For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
- By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
- And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
- And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: (creating the inner man revelation of the fulfillment of the law “His righteousness”)

Dollar bill
Saw a lady under the bridge. I knew she was a Christian. I heard “$1, $1, $1”
I waved her down and gave her the dollar. I asked are you a Christian. She said yes. I said He told me you were praying. Here you go. 😉

Carry His Heart
If we, INFJ types, carry His heart then no wonder we feel what we feel, see what we see. God emotes, but He is not emotional. Praise You Father.

Lifted
Today, I was invited to church. A Spirit-filled church at that. The people there were warm, friendly and welcoming.
Something happened that happens to me sometimes during praise and worship. I lifted my hands outstretched unto Him. Then I feel pressure or something pushing my arms inward. It was as if “lift them like this”. It caught me by surprise and I became emotional. I don’t go to church to see things or have things happen, but sometimes, a lot of times they do.
The verse that comes to mind is when Moses’s hands were lifted. The law I think is resembled when he was no longer able to hold up his arms. Something like crutches were used. In my case, under the new covenant is the power of God unto my members. I think it is wise to be mindful and discerning of manifestations. He did not die for ” The Church’s Got Talent” kind of thing.

His Wind or His Path
The following is an excerpt from the book The Living Words.
Can you see, hear, feel, smell, or taste a spirit? If you answer “no,” then we need to look deeper for a more concrete meaning behind the Hebrew word. The word frequently translated as “spirit” is רוח ru’ahh [H:7307] and just a quick search of this word in the Hebrew text will reveal its concrete meaning.
And Elohiym made a wind (ru’ahh) pass over the land and the water subsided. Genesis 8:1
Here we see the word ru’ahh translated as a “wind.” Because we can hear and feel the wind, we know we are on the right track for finding the original Hebraic meaning of this word. A “wind” can be the wind on the land, such as we see in the verse above, but it can also be the “wind” of Yahweh.
By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made and by the wind (ru’ahh) of his mouth all their armies. Genesis 8:1
And of man.
The burden of the word of Yahweh is upon Israel declares Yahweh, he stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth and he forms the wind (ru’ahh) of man that is within him. Zechariah 12:1
The “wind” of God and man is the “breath,” but from a Hebraic perspective, the breath is not just the exchange of air in the lungs, it is the person’s driving force, which directs and leads him on his journey through life. As we have already seen, an examination of related words and the roots of a word help to paint the picture of their original concrete meaning. So, let’s do that with the word ru’ahh.
The parent root is רח rahh and while this word/root is not found in the Biblical text, several other roots and words derived from it are. The word ארח arahh [H:732] means “to travel,” ירח yere’ahh [H:3394] is the “moon” and רחה rehheh [H:7347] is a “millstone.” What do wind, traveling, moon and millstone all have in common? They each have to do with following a prescribed path. The wind follows the same path each season, a traveler follows a path, the moon follows the same path in the sky, and a millstone also follows a prescribed path.
When we live according to our “wind” we follow the path of destruction, but if we live according to God’s “wind” we follow the path of life.
Side note (T.I.): No wonder Paul talks about every wind of doctrine.
And I will give you a new heart and a new wind (ru’ahh) I will give within you, and I will cause the heart of stone to be removed from your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will give my wind (ru’ahh) within you and I will make you walk in my statutes and my judgments you will preserve and you will do them. Ezekiel 36:26,27

Be ye Transformed by Keeping Law?
Romans 12:2,
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Excerpt from PreceptAustin.Org1,
BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND: te anakainosei tou noos:
Renewing (342) (anakainosis from anakainóo [in depth discussion] = renew qualitatively in turn from aná = again + kainóo = make new in turn from kainos = qualitatively new which is derived from a root meaning to turn out fresh and denotes that which is new in its own way) refers to a qualitative renewal or renovation (renovate = from Latin renovatus = past participle of renovare, from re- + novare = to make new, from novus = new) which makes a person different than in the past – new heart, new Lord, new home, new purpose and goal, etc.
I am ceased to be amazed by the depth of His word. I read this today and AGAIN it deepened, widened and opened up more. I see that we are not changed by keeping dogma, following a ’12-step Program’, obeying a curriculum and the like. All the aforementioned ways are variations of law-keeping. Are they not? Mixing the word with a 12-step Program is not Spirit-inspired. It is man’s attempt due to lack of revelation to fix His Church. I am of the strong opinion now that 12-step Program’s will actually enable the old man to manifest. Members will swear it works though, but should the credit be given to the word? Paul clearly says, “If another man or woman preaches another gospel let them be accursed.” I would not want to be that person.
In contrast, Romans 12:2 clearly says the opposite and that life transformation is by revelation. This is what Paul said in Galatians 1:16 about the Father revealing His Son, Christ, in Paul. Sounds like as a matter of fact to a degree I suppose, but the key is believers are ONLY transformed by the renewing of their mind.

300
Last night at the gym, I broke a new record. I bench pressed 295 pounds. I am five pounds away from my goal of 300. Actually, 315 lbs. In life, with His word, Spirit, grace, faith and power I can bench press 300 lbs. I can do what I thought I was not able to when I was 21 years old. Then I may have not been ready. In the fullness of time is when I’m ready.

Unable to Enter In
Thought to self today…
“Imagine under the Old Covenant if the High Priest was no longer able to enter into the Holy of Holies?”
What are the ramifications? No fellowship with God and His people. No future. Spiritual suicide. I relate this to divorce.

Jehovah Jireh at 24HR
January 14th,
Orri, my trainer friend at the gym, needed a customer. I prayed aloud, “Lord, I pray for customer today for Orri.” Roughly, 30 minutes later he got a customer, Cedric. I said, “Orri, look He answered.” His eyes opened up, “Yes, He did.” Thank You Father.

Choreography of the Inner Man
Building on “Fresh supply given by the God fo all Choreography”,
After discovering this beautiful word recently, “epichoregeo”, it is still ruminating. The word is fulfilling its purpose; apprehension of its target. Paul said, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” The “word of Christ”. Acts speaks of, “the ministry of the word”. The word richly means something is valued due to its abundance or “fullness of goods”. His word compounds with other word already in me unto “fullness of goods” or richly, but compounded rhema (or quickened living word) is very different from non-rhema word. Rhema consumes, apprehends, transforms, creates, destroys (in this dimension) and the like. Another wonderful needed tangent.
This word, “epichoregeo”. I see this. HE speaks His word to his holy apostles and prophets, his saints and believers. And this is kind of what happens…glory.
“Choreography is the art or practice of designing sequences of movements of physical bodies (or their depictions) in which motion, form, or both are specified. Choreography may also refer to the design itself. A choreographer is one who creates choreographies by practicing the art of choreography, a process known as choreographing. Choreography is used in a variety of fields, including cheerleading, cinematography, gymnastics, fashion shows, ice skating, marching band, show choir, theatre, synchronized swimming, video game production and animated art. In the performing arts, choreography applies to human movement and form. In dance, choreography is also known as dance choreography or dance composition.”1
This “choreographic revelatory godly energy” in the energy form of spirit and or word enters in the vessel and the inner man, Christ, emotes, lives and “IS” through each vessel in His Church with or without their knowing according to Hebrews 10:16. We, the Church, with the apostle & prophet, dance, move and live in accordance with the pattern of the Adam, Christ in and through us. We do so because we want to, not grudgingly, not forced, not under obligation, but truly in the freedom and liberty of the Spirit of the Living God. We “BE” in Him in this ‘dance’. As we “BE” in Him collectively others are drawn to dance as well. This “choreographic revelatory godly energy” is also unto righteousness, unto holiness. It puts His willingness within our hearts.
He is the Most High (Choreographer). His is more. Most High ends without a noun or pronoun purposely. Otherwise, the designation would limit His nature. Hence my parentheses 🙂
Father, thank you for making the word flesh. And making the flesh word in me. I love You Father. I will see you soon. Glory. Amen.
