This blog builds on another, The substance of His will.
Rom. 5:3, “And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;” Patience in the Aramaic New Testament means ‘thought without any anxiety.’
In Christ and under grace, when pressure comes it can enable the deposit of ‘spiritual substance.’ The the King James bible calls this spiritual substance ‘patience’, but the Aramaic calls it ‘thoughts without any anxiety’ or ‘thoughts without fear.’ Perfect or godly love casts out fear and any thoughts of fear by revelation of Christ in us, 1 John 4:18, Gal. 1:16. When the knowledge of perfection comes by hearing and hearing the word of God the particles of non-regenerative thinking are nullified in Christ. The nature of truth gives liberty to the recipient of Him, John 14:6, 2 Cor. 3:17.
Perhaps Isa. 40:31 could be a foreshadowing of Romans 5? Just a thought. Isa. 40:31 says, “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.” The word renew in Hebrew can mean: to pass on or away, pass through, pass by, go through, grow up, change, to go on from, change, sprout. This reminds me of the Epiphany blog.
Something incorruptible, substantial and real is deposited, diffused and imparted into us when pressure comes. The High Priest, Christ Jesus, is imparting His essence and nature substance into us to be us or be what and who we really are. If Adam was a real being and Jesus is the last pattern after Adam or Last Adamic pattern then this affirms Col. 3:10 of being changed according to the original pattern of the Creator who created us in His image, Gen. 1:27. We are spiritual beings who reside in fleshly earth suits on this planet. God is the Father our spirits, Heb. 12:9. We are predestined to be His children or offspring by faith, Eph. 1:5, Gal. 3:7. Children are like their parents, John 3:6. God the Father is spirit, John 4:23-24. In Christ, our flesh will eventually become like His. In Him, we have the potential to become living logos, John 1:1, like Him (Jesus), Enoch, Elijah and possibly Moses. Christ is in the flesh now before the Father.
