Volume 4 Chapter 7 Page 10

Friday July 13, 2007       27 Tammuz 5767 (Hebrew 9th Month)

"The 'Light' Bread!"

 
"'Living' Food for the Soul!"

 

2 Corinthians 4:5-10 (Amplified Bible)
 
For what we preach is not ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves [merely] as your servants (slaves) for Jesus' sake.
For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.
We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair;
We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;
Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered, so that the [resurrection] life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.

 

These Corinthian Believers gladly received the 'Gospel of Christ' as preached and taught from the Apostle Paul, a man transformed and filled by God's Spirit.

Many of them hearing for the 1st time, God's Gift of 'The Living Water' and 'The Bread of Life'.

'Light Bread', God's Eternal WORD, Christ Jesus, came down from heaven to walk upon the earth which HE Created, with the 'SOUL' purpose of driving the darkness into remission and satisfying my hunger for spiritual 'Food and Drink'.

Suffering much for the Gospel, Paul accomplished even more for the Kingdom of God, he was devoted to preaching and teaching the 'Divine' revelation which he received from Holy Spirit.

'Embracing' God's WILL for my life, I hungrily desire to be 'FED' by 'The Bread of Life' and thirst to drink fully from HIS 'Cup of Living Water'.

Those physical circumstances under which the Apostle Paul endured, paled in comparison to the 'Revelation of Christ' that had transformed his 'Spiritual' condition.

It is this 'Knowledge' of God's 'Life Changing' Love, that I seek to passionately share with others, sustaining me spiritually, strengthening me to pursue HIS WORDs of nourishment, receiveing the fullness of Holy Spirit, God's 'Manifestation of Power and Authority', for the sake of Christ

I must Honor and Glorify HIM, shining as a 'Light' ignited by HIS Holy Fire!

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

O'Lord, YOU are the 'Bread and Water' that fills my soul!
I must share YOUR 'Food' with those who hunger and thirst,
that they may also be 'Filled with YOUR Spirit'!!
Never to hunger nor thirst as YOUR WORD says,
YOU WILL Faithfully 'FEED' every Kingdom WORKER!!!
May YOU O'Lord be Honored in all that I do and say,
Praised and Glorified throughout my travels each day!

Hallelujah! HE Lovingly bought my Soul,
and now I WILL to Live for HIM!!!
Amen!!!
