To Mirror The Glory of The Spirit of The Lord....
"Do we begin again to commend ourselves?
Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation from you or letters of commendation from you?
You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
* Are we truly an epistle, known and read by all men? Is the Spirit of the living God written on my heart of flesh, or is my heart made of stone; so that my words and actions do not match my heart?*
And we have such trust through Christ toward God.
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.
Who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant,
not of the letter but of the Spirit;
for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
*Are we trusting God through Christ, not leaning on our understanding, and taking credit for what God has done, basking in our own glory rather then His glory? Are we mindful that we have been made sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, or do we still live by the letter of the Spirit, versus the Spirit that gives life?*
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones,
was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadly at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
How will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.
*What ministry do we serve in, and how is God's glory seen? Stop and consider for a moment what it must have been like to have witnessed the glory of the Lord upon the face of Moses...What does glory look like?*
For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech-
Unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
*To be given understanding as to why the Children of Israel still have little understanding of the Lord, Jesus Christ as the Son of God. May the veil be lifted from upon their hearts as they hear Moses read.*
Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Now the Lord is the Spirit;
and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."
2 Corinthians 3
*Do we walk in liberty because of the Spirit of God, that has freed us from the blindness we once walked within? How do we behold the glory of the Lord? Are we being transformed into the same image as of the Spirit of the Lord?*

Glory Bound....
"Vindicate me, O Lord,
For I have walked in my integrity.
I shall not slip,
Examine me, O Lord, and prove me;
Try my mind and my heart.
For your loving kindness is before my eyes,
And I have walked in Your truth.
I have not sat with idolatrous mortals,
Nor will I go in with hypocrites.
I have hated the assembly of evildoers,
And will not sit with the wicked.
I will wash my hands in innocence;
So I will go about Your altar, O Lord,
That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving.
And tell of all Your wonderous works.
Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house,
And the place were Your glory dwells."
Psalm 26:1-8
Oh, to cry out to the Lord Most High and to know that His presence is where I long to dwell. Seeking nothing more then the voice of my Father, standing in the blood of my Savior, Jesus the Son of God, desiring to know the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit.
To dwell within the secret place of the Most High, to know the habitation of His house, where His glory dwells; that it might take up residence in me....
Prepare me for the fulfilling of this desire, to experince the fullness of the Holy Spirit, more intimate with my Father... living out this life in this body to it's limit, as Christ did...
Come, Holy Spirit, I invite You to dwell in this temple. Stretch me, cleanse me, create in me a true dwelling place for Your glory....
I am Glory Bound...
