"Philippians Chpt. 3: 1-21.v. Prepare to be changed !"


 
from Danmark 13th of Sept. 2oo7
to John Tng and Doves site !
 
It is time for us to prepare for the meeting with our Lord Jesus Christ. We are the Body of Christ, and will first be whole, when we are going to be ONE, melt together with our Head, Jesus Christ.
 
So of course allready here on Earth we are longing after, and looking for that connection, that wonderful change, as we also can read about in the whole Romans chpt. 8: and especially in 22-23.v. and 26-27.v. and a lot of other places in the Bible.
 
But if we from our heart longing for to be ONE with Jesus our Lord, then He also most have the first place in our whole life and in our heart to, here and now - we cant be ONE before we think and feel like ONE  - and we cant get ONE without OUR HEAD - JESUS CHRIST !
 
Lets in pray ask the Holy Spirit for help, to get finnish to meet Jesus, and to that changing to a New Creation from God. The Holy Spirit can and will help, He is the wonderful Divine Authority on Earth in our time, - all Praise and Glory to our Great Father and God !

Philippians 3: 1-21.v.
3:1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

3:2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.

3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

3:4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
3:5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
3:6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
3:7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
 

3:8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
3:10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
3:11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
 

3:12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
3:13 Brothers, I don't regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
 

3:15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
3:16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind.

3:17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
 

3:18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
3:19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
 

3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
3:21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
