The whole creation groans and travails in pain together waiting for the manifestation of the children of God.
He came to his own and his own did not receive him, but to as many as received him to them gave he the power to become the children of God.
What does the Lord require of you…?
It is clear He only requires the reformation of repentance to walk humbly with Him…
And in this repentance to know that there is more that is required for redemption, even that He will do… He alone…
Repentance has a regenerate side to it, and also must have a side of the sinner to it.
Israel struggles with faith in the flesh.
What the Torah could not do in that it was weak through the flesh…
It is the struggle with faith in the flesh that provides the world of Israel that must be and will be redeemed, being the world where faith must ever fight to live but cannot win unless God saves and thus redeems it through the resurrection of Mashiach from the dead.
Therefore we do not struggle in faith in the flesh without hope of this redemption in Mashiach Yehoshua, but walk in the faith of this hope.
Does it mean we never stumble in the flesh? It does not mean this, for we sometimes do stumble but we are never overcome by falling for we do not walk in the flesh but in the Spirit. This is the meaning of this teaching.
Thus it is with prison and parole. We can walk in the flesh, that is in corrections, or we can walk in freedom, in the Spirit of Mashiach Yehoshua, who has set us free. Though we struggle with faith in corrections, we do not live by corrections but by the revelation of hope in the power of the resurrection of the dead, wherein all correction is accomplished.
And this is the instruction for the corporate consciousness and not only for the collective majority consciousness. It is learned in the heart and not only in the mind. It is written on the heart. The mind cannot learn it only through corrections. For the flesh cannot be fully corrected. But the corrections take place in order to prepare the way for the refinement of the prepared way of the Lord, for the conviction of sin, of righteousness and of judgment, so that repentance occurs on the side of the sinner also, in order that it might be made perfect on the side of the regenerate soul.
This is when the time comes for corporate baptism.
