As with all things in the Lord’s kingdom— righteousness and truth are at the core of the foundation: truth— the Rock upon which we stand, and righteousness— the grace-code by which we live.

• The foundation is the structure we live by— truth: the true form of God and his kingdom— way, law, character conduct, principled living, statutes and true doctrine of life itself, and assembly of (the building of the Lord). 

• The way the foundation is walked in/upon toward other(s) [namely God first, neighbor second] —is in righteousness: love born from truth becoming a man [man assimilating into truth, as the living message], the foundation erected, the form of man changed into the form of God’s divine human form [Christ Jesus, the Son] to the point that righteous love comes forth in ‘being’ [which is truth assimilated into— in the form of graciousness, mercy, agape-charity, fruits of the Spirit lived— toward all— in Christ Jesus].

The way in which the foundation of a man is laid— matters; it must be erected upon the truth; but truth devoid of the heat of agape-charity love [graciousness, mercy, fruits of the Spirit lived toward all] is just an infancy ‘form of’ godliness in regards to the Truth (a head knowledge of Jesus Christ’s life, but lacking the fruit proofs of the Spirit of Jesus Christ ‘in action within us—’ as he abides toward God and all men): because truth— of precepts, doctrine, principles and character, law and conduct of— is to be applied to our hearts (the law written on our new, purified, converted hearts), assimilating us into ‘becoming’ righteousness (which is born of the truth understood— to the point of returning into love toward all).

Judgement is born of only truth— for the truth weighs all men (and the standard by which men are measured/weighed— is Christ Jesus; so all men in Christ— are weighed by the Lord’s life, from his very life— and have the account of Christ (legally; for they have chosen to exalt/worship/honor his Life, inwardly, for real— in their hearts).  But those who claim his name (the signature conduct of his life), but are not truly ‘in’ him, meaning— joined to his foundation of righteous truth and love (having a LOVE OF the truth itself, the proper structure of godliness within them again) — ‘becoming’ this —are hypocrites and liars (fakers/actors/impostors); and thus— the truth itself shall separate them [not God, from his heart {righteous person}]; the truth alone shall separate men ‘from’ God; for God in his form was rejected, and his righteousness— was disregarded {his graciousness of his loving person given to all to couple with— Jesus Christ— and all he brought forward in invitation for all to join to— of/in him).

Righteousness (truth lived to the extent of love born in graciousness, mercy, agape-charity, and fruits of the Spirit) has no part with judgment (in truth— righteousness seeks for men to repent, and turn back to our Lord God in his form and likeness, to exalt all he is again, interiorly); righteousness bids men to return to the Father in his mercies.  

Judgment is born by weighing all truth: when Christ Jesus was/is weighed against the standard of heaven in the Father— he is found full of the standard of heaven (or the elevation of Spirit to the highest degree).  When man is ‘in’ Christ (desiring to be as God is, uphold what he upholds, and join to him and what he upholds of ‘the way’) —then man has the blameless account of the gift of life in Christ Jesus.  

But when men claim a form of godliness outwardly— but inwardly are ravenous beasts of carnality still— no conversion or change of conformation— then this man is a liar and a hypocrite— and the truth shall weigh them in spirit.  

John 9:39

“And Jesus said— For (because of) judgment (to come at the day of the judgment seat of Christ in the eternal) I am/have come into this world— that those which see not —might see; and that they which see— might be made blind.”

This is a reference to the fact that eternal judgment awaits all men; and because of this— after a man leaves his dirt-suit body here, his vessel— this man shall face a judgment where the Truth— weighs all men; as God has searched all hearts (souls and spirit function in man), and has found the result of their desire to return to God, exalt his form, his way, his conduct/law of life— or not.  And it is ‘the truth loved,’ or not— that actually weighs a man.  

He came into this world (righteousness— love and truth, and the message of in exemplification and invitation of)... he came into this world (of separation, distance, and aversion to all of that which is godliness by the carnal nature— of man in a lower state)... so that when he comes into all of that— he shall display, manifest, reveal— righteousness (love and truth lived, the form of God) to all men again— and bid them to come: that those who did not see this before him— but now desire his righteousness (as he now exemplifies it, and invites all to join to love and truth again— and have his righteous form reconform them— a new spiritual garment) should now see— spiritually— the Lord in his truth and love; but also— those who think they see/perceive/know God rightly in form and have joined him (but who are hypocrites and liars [remember he was talking amongst and toward the Pharisees here]) —shall be spiritually blind to the truth (his form and way), and are left to their form of self-righteousness— blind to the truth: for the love ‘of’ the truth— was not in them; and they loved darkness more than light (righteousness— love and truth).

2 Thessalonians 2:10, John 3:19-21

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness (a self-righteousness, but really is ‘non’ righteousness— a fakery of righteousness) in them— who perish; because they received not ‘the love of’ the truth, that they might be saved.  And this is the condemnation— that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light— because their deeds were evil (and their deeds were evil, for their affections were evil).  For every one that does evil— hates the light, and neither comes to the light— lest his deeds should be reproved [convicted— (then corrected, changed, converted— into righteousness)]. But he that does truth— comes to the light, SO THAT— his deeds may be made manifest [shown to him], (in order to know/perceive) that they are wrought in [working to be engaged in/with] —God.”

When men are deceived by their own form of righteousness (self-righteousness) which is unrighteousness— they have a form of godliness, but not wrought in the form, and power of that form, born of the Holy Spirit of God; and thus— these men perish (inwardly, spiritually), and are oblivious to the gravity of this: but it is all because when the Truth was presented to them— they loved it NOT (that form— was ‘unappealing’ to them in their hearts [spirits and soul faculties]).  And what condemns them is this— the Light (truth and love of righteousness) came into the world (the fallen realm of souls of men) —but men loved the deeds/works/behaviors and inclinations of darkness that they were already walking in, rather than righteousness (truth and love— toward God in his form): for their affections were malplaced, and they had affections for darkness— whilst claiming to be ‘of’ God in godliness (righteousness of the truth and love joined to internally— as God is— in form and conduct [how he conducts himself, and in what]).  And the condemnation, the thing in which imprisons them in their transgressions and judges them is this— that men do not desire to come to the light— for the light will reveal what is in them, and thus— reprove them interiorly (convict them, to lead to repentant turn around unto God and godly form again— in truth and love— or true righteousness); because men love darkness— more than light (they loved depravity, self love— and the beastly lusts and focuses of —more than righteousness, in the form of godliness, and the conduct of).

But men who LOVE THE TRUTH (person of God in his form and way) COME TO THE LIGHT— SO THAT— THEIR DEEDS MAY BE MADE KNOWN TO ALL (God first, then themselves, and even others); FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEING CHANGED INTO GODLINESS ONCE AGAIN: sheep, not goats— who desire obedience to God, his form, and his way of his kingdom conduct and code of ethics— the love of truth and love to the point it changes a man— and righteousness is now lived from— as it has converted this man interiorly— in the heart (the heart was converted and the darkness was overcome— as light prevailed).

But righteousness— does not weigh a man: for righteousness was/is— long suffering, peaceable— inviting all to come, gracious, merciful, patient, kind, gentle, joyful, loving toward all— desiring none should perish.  Righteousness— is Christ displayed as the Lamb who bids all to come, the Son— teaching all men the way of the kingdom of God and of heaven— the elevation, the fruit of his Spirit, his conduct and character lived in mercy, grace, true form of godliness of generosity, kindness, gentleness toward all men, joyous— as he beholds them desiring they return to him— with his invitation to ‘come into the truth.’

John 3:17, 12:47

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  And if any man hears my words, and believes them not— I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.”

Jesus came to fulfill being the Lamb— and the Lamb comes to save, not condemn/judge.  However— the Lamb IS the Lion/King on the throne of God, forevermore; and thus— those who join the Lamb— are safe in Jesus Christ— at the throne of the King; but those who do not join the Lamb (savior) through his life— are going to be judged by their own; for they rejected the truth (because their love of darkness was greater than their love of the truth— that would change or rebirth their very person in inner form).

Truth— is the foundation structure of God in his principles: the stature of being holy— separated from the spirit of this world (which is self love and affections— born in lusts and desires to fulfill self with), as Jesus is true doctrine teaching of his kingdom culture, way, code of ethics/behavior, law/conduct, character of the structure of godliness at foundation level of disposition and demeanor— that is born in holiness: and this is why the truth weighs us in the end: for he is a person with a code, a set form and execution of that set form— in a foundational structure that is disciplined in the principles of God and godliness.  The truth will weigh all men— as to whether our lives, and accounts of, are in him (Christ Jesus— and thus blameless, legally, through his life— as we exalt him, truly, within— according to his truth foundation of life, joined to) —or not.

But the righteousness of God (truth AND LOVE OF GOD TOWARD ALL) was desiring that all would repent— or turn back to him, turn from their wicked ways, lean into his face again— have their hearts affectionately turned toward him, and his truth (the foundation), and way (of righteousness/love) again to LIVE IN UNION WITH HIM AND HIS TRUTH AND LOVE AS HE IS, and pray him— commune in exaltation of his love and truth, having him now ‘hear them out,’ so as he ‘could’ heal them, recover them, re-pair them— IN— his love and truth, joined to.

Side note: when scripture says— ‘turn our face toward God again,’ this is not simply— turning one’s face toward God’s direction again, for that is carnal knowledge: to ‘turn’ one's ‘face’ toward God holy, loving, and true once again— means— to refocus our internal spiritual structure to now join the Lord God in his internal structure, marry/intertwine, and now know, perceive, and be as he is.  It is much akin to DNA intertwining— and re-pairing us— unto himself; and DNA of the Lord God is his Divine Nature Attributes— and he will not marry/join/intertwine with anything other than that.  

So, much like angels in the heavenly abode— we shall now have a spiritual structure of holiness that we are, ‘with our intentions,’ GIVING OURSELVES OVER TO.  And as we do this— we ‘become’ intertwined (like a consummating couple in inter-course, inter [between, among, mutual] course [flow or influx]): it is spiritual union/joining —as he is; and is birthed forth from the heart’s pure intention to— join him— ‘as HE is,’ within our spiritual form, nature, course, and person.  Then from the joining/marrying with/to the Holy Spirit of God in our spirit form/person— the soul is then influx’d by that form, nature (God’s DNA), course, and person.

The Lord’s righteousness (Jesus walking in love and truth toward all) was so deeply, and preeminently revealed to us in the life of the Son, the gift of the Lamb, the Lover of our souls— so much so that he laid his life down in graciousness toward all; that we should meet him in his righteousness/goodness/love— first; SO THAT— the King, Lion, and Judge— would not be weighing us in our separation from the truth (because we did not come into union with Jesus, exalting his truth, and being renewed by love, and becoming love and truth); but instead— that he would weigh us ‘IN’ the Truth (Jesus Christ and his life), having us consumed in/by his LOVE (the union, born of LOVING THE TRUTH— Jesus in holy form— expressed in righteous love toward all; as the invitation to live in truth— was brought to all— through love).

• The first aspect of God we encounter is his righteousness in goodness/love— in Christ Jesus as he came forward unto us all to invite us to join God— with all he taught, preached, and exemplified —of— the truth lived in maturity: the Lamb/Savior/Redeemer/Lover of our souls— who laid his life down to us in love (born of the exaltation of the foundation/structure of truth [true godly form] lived).

• However— the second aspect we encountered of the Lord was that— if man chooses not to reunite with God in a turn around, get founded (after God’s graciousness was sent to them in the fruits of the Spirit expressed to them, in invitation to them to join him again, through the Lamb) into the truth (his true form of conduct, character, principled living, statutes he lives by in his kingdom, and the law of his person and kingdom), through repentance— (all whilst knowing they were working another law within their members, or faculties of them) —thereby gaining a walk with God now in his form, unto a converted and transformed man; then this man shall be given the desires of his heart— which was not to be in eternal/spiritual union to the Lord God as he is, nor his kingdom to dwell in for eternity (because his kingdom is a conduct of life), which has a conduct or law, and a code of ethics, with a mode of operation and order to it; that is not conducive with what this man’s heart truly desires: and this man shall be weighed against/by the truth (the life of Jesus in true godly form and way); and this man shall be found unaffiliated with truth, unaffected by the righteousness of God given unto us (in Christ Jesus) to couple with; and thereby this man’s latter state shall be worse than his former: for he shall be judged by the truth (the foundation) that he lacked coupling with; and hence— the righteousness that was extended to him in the gift of God in/of Christ Jesus was rejected, and separation occurs: not from God’s heart— but from man’s.

Our affections and lusts of heart— matter.  They matter so deeply that the Lord is desiring to recover our hearts, give us new ones, cleaned ones, saved ones: and those hearts consist of our spirit-man, our soul faculties of mind, reasoning, inclinations, principles, character— and conduct of, morals, ethics, and a code of law we live by: if the hearts are not converted/reconformed— a man deceives himself that he has come into the truth (joined to it) by the righteousness of God (Jesus Christ offered in the fruit of the Spirit to us all— at Calvary, and in all he exemplified): for his heart loves darkness— more than light, and takes pleasure in itself— more than God, and is a lover of self— over God and godly form.

2 Timothy 3:2-5

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents (namely the Lord as a parent), unthankful, unholy— without natural affection [hard hearted], trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness— but denying the power thereof [force and strength of God within]: from such turn away.”

Romans 1:24-26

“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies [sound-whole of them] between themselves: who changed the truth of God— into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature— more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. And for this cause— God gave them up unto vile affections [passions]…”

Proverbs 21:2, 1 John 2:16

“Every way of a man is right (self-right[eousness]) in his own eyes: but the Lord ponders the hearts. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father— but is of the world.”

The affections of man— matter; and unto whom and what they are given to— matters.

Affections— expression of gentle fondness, love, liking, endearment, attentiveness, attachment, affinity, friendship, intimacy, familiarity, amity, regard, respect, admiration; a mental state; root definition— Middle English: via Old French from Latin affectio(n- ), from afficere ‘to influence’ (see affect2).

Affect— make a change or difference unto, work on, touch, modify, alter, transform, form, shape, govern, guide; touch and move someone emotionally, to present; root definitions— late Middle English (in the sense) ‘attack as a disease’: from French affecter or Latin affect- ‘influenced, affected’, from the verb afficere (see affect2); late Middle English: from French affecter or Latin affectare ‘aim at’, frequentative of afficere ‘work on, influence’, from ad- ‘at, to’ + facere ‘do’. The original sense was ‘like, love’, hence ‘(like to) use, assume, etc’; late 18th century (in philosophy, in the sense) ‘an emotional, unreflective response’: coined in German from Latin affectus ‘disposition’, from afficere ‘to influence’ (see affect2).

Then, thereby in definition— men’s affections are his expression in fondness of what he loves, likes, is endeared to, attentive to, attached to, in affinity with, friendly with, intimate with, familiar with, regarding, respecting, and admiring— within their mental state of being— as one is influenced by such.

{But is it God and godliness, truth, love, righteousness?}

Additionally— a man’s affections are based in/from the affect— or what has been worked, touched, formed, shaped, governed, guided— emotionally presented— within a man’s heart (spirit and soul inclinations); and he has been influenced and affected by, shaped by, governed by his heart and what it touches; because his aim (what he aims at), what he’s working on (or in) —toward to do, in what he likes or loves to use and assume; has created an emotional and subconscious response to what he is fond of; and that creates his disposition, born of what influences his heart— from/of what he loves.

THAT’S JUST THE DEFINITIONS OF AFFECTIONS (and affect— which is the root of affections); which is vastly different from what we would call ‘affections,’ normally, in our thoughts of what is affection, or affections.  We have viewed affection toward people (even God) as a warm feeling— but it is SO MUCH MORE: it is the love of the heart, based in what touches it, shapes it, forms and governs it in DISPOSITION— that is born of what man is endeared to, attentive to, attached to, in affinity with, friendly with, familiar with, regarding (that’s respecting), and admiring (that's swooning over, and wooed by) —in their inner faculties of what they mind (think on and entertain) —as they are influenced spiritually (by either God and his form and kingdom, or the darkness— and its conduct, law, and ways): the heart of man reveals his God/god— when it reveals its fond affiliations and desires.

When a man’s heart places ‘other’ over self— this man has a godly and sacrificial love in his heart.  For Jesus exemplified putting the Father (and his kingdom/way) first— in his heart, mind, soul, and will.

The summation of the Law of Life in Christ Jesus is to love God, first and foremost, with all we’ve got: full heart— soul, spirit, mind, and strength (all our effort) to love God; which means— to prefer God over self in our thoughts/mind/minding, spiritual essence of his form, his will— not our own unto the self, and that we will put all our effort of inner person— into now exalting God in his righteousness (love and truth), as we uphold him in it— in our inner man.

The second part of the summation of the Law of life in Christ Jesus— is like unto the first; now turn and do this to your neighbor.  Do what?  Love them with all we’ve got— first and foremost (over self): a full heart, soul, mind, strength (effort) to prefer them in our thoughts/mind/minding of their spiritual essence and form ever before us— as we exalt (lift up) their souls (human living person) before ourselves— focusing on their inner man in preference— walking and abiding in love and truth toward them; as we SEE them now in our eyes (not self), and we ADDRESS them now in speech (not ourselves in topic discussed); and thereby— they are exalted preeminently before us in love and truth— as we ourselves— are cast down.  

And in this— we fulfill the law 1 and 2: love God— then turn and love everyone else— as if it were Jesus himself (because it is— in the way we do toward them— we do unto the Lord himself [as he is in all— to one degree or another]).

John 13:34-35

“A new commandment I give unto you— That you love one another as I have loved you; and in that love— you also love one another. By this— shall all men know that you are my disciples (disciplined ones learning of my Spirit), if you have love— one to/for another.”

John 15:13

“Greater love has no man than this— that a man lay down his life— for his friends.”

• Can we lay our own thoughts and reasonings down and exalt someone else’s and consider them?  Can we lay down our own wills and desires to lift up someone else's to consider before us? Can we lay down our own person in preference and entitlements to consider and prefer another above ourselves in satisfactions? Can we desire for another to receive before we ourselves receive? CAN WE LAY OURSELVES DOWN (like putting an animal to sleep) SO THAT ANOTHER— may be exalted or lifted up— because man is our friend to whom we show ourselves friendly??

For this is what Jesus Christ exemplified in the life of the Son of man; a completely laid down life to God first, then man second; to always love God first and man second, as well as to prefer them both over self (always doing love and truth) —as he considered God and man in all circumstances of his life.

Consider— think carefully upon before deciding, contemplate, examine, chew over, meditate, think about and be drawn toward, regard, look attentively at (give attention to); root definition— late Middle English: from Old French considerer, from Latin considerare ‘examine’, based on sidus, sider- ‘star’.

Do we lay ourselves down to die in will and preeminence— in order that another is exalted into preeminence (God first then man)?  As we think carefully about the other before deciding action (word and deed), as we contemplate the other, examine and chew over, meditate, and think about them— as we are drawn to be attentively regarding THEM, as/like to examine and regard the light in them??  

Because that is what is meant by to lay our lives down for/to a friend— to examine the light in them (of God), and consider/regard them— OVER OURSELVES in all interactions: for this is sacrificial love, divine love and regard, born of righteousness walking in/of/with the Lord God in his form (as he exemplified in the life of Jesus Christ to us all).

We must come into infancy of his form, move forward into adolescence, and then onto adulthood; and if we are truly committed to loving the Lord God ‘in’ his form of person— onto mastery or elderhood with the Lord God, united as one in his Spirit— within us, as he stands up in us, and leads the way (executes the form in speech and deed) unto all men.

Matthew 25:40

“And the King shall answer and say unto them— Verily I say unto you— In as much as you have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, you have done it unto me.”

For when Jesus was hungry (in another) needing the substance of life, thirsty (in another) needing the refreshing of the Spirit— in living waters, and naked (in another man’s life) whereby he needed love to cover a multitude of transgressions… Did we give a man Jesus— as we came/approached another?  Did we give a man— food meal (truth to chew on), drink (holy Spirit love, refreshing, and goodness) —when that man was thirsty? Or did we clothe that man when he/she was in need of a covering of the righteousness of love— in that other person’s life??  

For that is the walk of the Son (and all sons in him— in maturity).  That we lay ourselves down… like a stepladder for others to be lifted up onto— to be exalted (placed preeminently in our hearts— above ourselves —as we exalt God in their lives; for they are made in his image or form).  For we come to God to make it about him— right— for that is true worship?  We do not go to God to just dish about our own hearts/topic all the time, right?  And if we actually place God in the most highly regarded place, as we lift him up into it… Do we lift others up, under God, in a higher placement than ourselves— within our hearts?  

If not— we are still moving carnally— in self exaltation.  And we err in summation of the Law part 2: and love your neighbor ‘as’ yourself— or otherwise— in place of yourself— has been cast down (as we cast self forward prominently, importantly).  THAT— we have missed for some time— and even I have been brought into the knowledge of that verse— in a fuller spiritual way.

Mark 12:31

“Thou shalt love thy neighbour as (like, in place of) thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” (this following loving God with all our heart, mind, soul, strength)

G5613 – As

Greek: ὡς

Transliteration: hōs

Pronunciation: hoce

Definition: Probably adverb of compound from G3739; which, how, that is— in that same manner: - about after (that) (according) as (it had been it were) as soon (as) even as (like) for how (greatly) like (as unto) since so (that) that to wit unto when ([-soever]) while X with all speed.

KJV Usage: as (342x), when (42x), how (18x), as it were (20x), about (14x), misc (56x).

So… You shall love your neighbor (which in Strong’s is— your fellow friend) the way in which, like how, in the same manner, even as— yourself.  And we shall love another as God loves another— when we shall perceive them as friend (fondly joined), and shall love them in the way we prefer for/of ourselves— the way in which we desire for others to do unto us— we do now unto others —in that manner do we love (in that regard and with that consideration); even as it were like unto— ourselves— when we acquiesce to their person above ours— in consideration and regard; so as to see the light in them— attended to (for what we do to them— we do to the Son of man himself).

The kingdom of darkness— serves itself— in the love of self (exalted).  Everyone there desires to be seen, heard, and validated— ABOVE OTHERS (including God, for these loved ‘another’ (namely self) —more than God— as scripture states in Matthew 10).  People who love self exaltation— will demand/require others favor them above themselves; which is different than that we should be laying our own lives down to the death— in order to lift others up (one is laying down, one is lifting up— it’s not to be us). It is the lack of being able to do that— also with an emphasis/focus of heart upon how others are treating us, what they are doing unto us, or how they are/are not exalting us: the focus is still on ourselves (pride of our own life).  

When we are moving in godly light— Light prefers others, moving in righteous love and truth— for/toward other to be seen, heard, and validated (noticed and regarded above self).  

It is painful when people will not move with God in this, no doubt; but have we died to the ‘need’ for them to exalt us— because the Lord exalts us in his heart, focus, and attention now?  Or are we still seeking and demanding validation, favor, and preference from man— for our hearts are not healed in the Lord’s ever present love for us yet?

I know what it is like to be invisible before another— it’s not fun, enjoyable, or loving… But… I also know I am to prefer them above myself (and be healed enough to do so, and be well off in the joy of the Lord) —as I consider the light in them.  How does the light in them need to be attended to?  How does the light in them need to be fed the Bread of Life, given the Drink of the Living Waters, or clothed (and washed in foundation/the feet) of the Truth— in his Love— where they are still lacking in godliness and divine order?  Because who I am— is not dependent upon who they are; but instead— upon who Christ is in me.

Because if I am invisible before a man— it is not a reflection of me— but a reflection of the state of that man’s heart (spirit and soul).  I am to be a reflection of the life of Christ Jesus— and make sure the other in their light (dark or bright) would be attended to— as they are regarded (for I truly love all men— and desire them to return to righteous light/form): and I receive my validation by Christ and my Father of lights, and in those in whom he moves and finds his being (no other).

Our understanding— and will— is capable of being consistently and continually perfected or matured.  Spiritual life in heaven— is lived in continual love/charity and faith (reliance upon the truth itself/Jesus— and fidelity to): it is his life lived.  And if we are coexisting in 2 realms at one time (physical bodies, and spiritual life of our spirit man) ought we not be living in his life— and his life living from us— if we are in spiritual union/joined/like/same/as?  Or at least— ‘joining’ him in this now— as our awares (and eyes of understanding) are now opened to the way, truth, and life of Jesus?  For it is dissenters— who turn their face away from the truth (the true form of God in divine love— which always prefers other in their state of being to be considered— over self).

The Rock— the foundation of truth.

The Wood/cross— the foundation of a sacrificial love.

And we are called to be founded in Christ (the truth— true form of godly men, second Adam), upon sacrificial love; for we must deny ourselves (lower ourselves, deny pride and selfishness) as we take the carnal nature to the wood/cross.

And THAT— is the house God is founding in/of his church— of New Jeru-salem (shalem— whole, complete, lacking nothing): the people of God newly founded in truth and sacrificial (we die down, they are lifted up) love (which is righteousness and truth lived) —where the people are now in a new state of shalem (whole, mature, as a state of continual being— as God is), as we join to the life of Jesus Christ/YahShua Ha Mashiach/Messiah.

H8004 – Shalem

Hebrew: שׁלם

Transliteration: shâlêm

Pronunciation: shaw-lame'

Definition: The same as H8003; peaceful;

{Shalem} an early name of Jerusalem: Salem.

Genesis 33:18: Shalem is mentioned as "Jacob comes to Shalem (or the peaceful)..." which is known in short, also, as Salem (as in Jeru-Salem).  And Salem is mentioned in regards to the King of Righteousness-– Melchizedek: and as well— Salem (Hebrew: שָׁלֵם) is mentioned in Genesis 14:18, Psalm 76:2, and Hebrews 7:2: and the term Shalem is derived from the Hebrew root \(S-L-M\) (שָׁלֵם), meaning "whole, complete, safe, or peace."

Genesis 14:18, Psalm 76:2, Hebrews 7:2

“And Melchizedek— king of Salem [peaceful] brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. In Salem [peacefulness] also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. And to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation— King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem [peacefulness], which is, King of peace.”

So in context that shalem is a wholeness, a completeness, a safety, AND peace itself… Let's look at peace, and why the Lord and I say ‘at-one-ment’ all the time.  Because the Order of Melchizedek (Hebrew: מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק, Malkiy-Tsedeq, malki— my king or king of, and tsedeq— righteousness) is rooted in shalom and shalem— via the atonement.

G2643 – Atonement

Greek: καταλλαγή

Transliteration: katallagē

Pronunciation: kat-al-lag-ay'

Definition: From G2644; exchange (figuratively an adjustment) that is restoration to the divine and in favor: atonement, reconciliation (-ing).

KJV Usage: reconciliation (2x), atonement (1x), reconciling (1x).

Atonement— to re-pair a wrong, readdress, redeem, reconcile— through Jesus Christ; root definition— early 16th century (denoting unity or reconciliation, especially between God and man): from at one + -ment, influenced by medieval Latin adunamentum ‘unity’, and earlier onement from an obsolete verb one ‘to unite’.

So— this is why the Lord has me say that the atonement of Jesus Christ for all of creation was to exchange his life for ours: this is not just legally so, but also in form— one exchanged for the other— to assume a new identity/form in Christ Jesus: new conformation, resurrected into his life— from a dead spiritual form; whereby now he has adjusted us, restored us to the former form and condition he designed us by— which is what it is to be in divine favor now— making the atonement (at-one-ment) again— as two are now reconciled (joined as/like/same now).  

By how he covered us with his life— OIL (anointed life of intimacy with the Father), and expiated— took our guilt and sin, suffering to the full sacrifice, and canceled our legal debt, and invited us to approach in reformation/union to him and his form and conduct or law of holiness once again (living in truth); which appeased the Lord God that the way was made, the invitation given out, the call sent forth to all men of the gospel of the goodness that man can join his God/Maker/Creator once again— through the Savior— Jesus Christ, YahShua Ha Mashiach/Messiah.  

And when joining him to be returned to reconciliation (relationship in reverence to his person and form) —the old is purged away, he is merciful, you and I are pardoned— and atonement is made.  And this accomplishes being re-paired from wrong, addresses us (considers us and takes action on behalf of), reconciles us to himself (and no flesh can join him— only spiritual like/same essence, yoked, marries him) —through the life of Messiah: and PRODUCES— the state of being ‘at one’ with the living, holy, God, once again; as we come back into unity, unite in his person, form, truth, way, and love.  

• And this is another spiritual reference of ‘turning to his face/person in spiritual essence’ once again: it is a marriage, a joining, and not in the ways the world views marriage union; but how God does— with total adhesion to one another in holiness, respect, honor, preference, and yielding— as each prefers the other, and lays their lives down unto such.

And ‘ment’ = the action of and state of being produced, as ‘one’ = 2 joined as 1 entity like/same/as now, and ‘at’ = the place of the joining— in spirit form— carried out in our soul faculties toward God and his kingdom: this is why we call PEACE or SHALOM and SHALEM— mature ‘at-one-ment’ again with God: 2 joined now, like/same/as in harmony, resting quietly here in the stillness of his being (above all other states of being— for that is how God abides), in the atonement.

So— ‘at-one-ment’ means: the place of the joining in spirit form, where 2 now become one, and the action of, and state of being in harmony once again with God— is produced.  THAT— is an entirely different concept of atonement than that of the world and church would commonly know it to be.

If we shall life with God as this— we shall easily, handily, fulfill the Law of the Spirit, of Life, found in Christ Jesus— as we love (respect/obey and are led by) the Lord God— in Jesus Christ, as we come into the truth at our foundation, and we then turn and love our brethren the same; for we desire none should perish outside of this union, with us; but that all would come all the way back home to SHALOM, and onto SHALEM (whole and completed) in maturity— of the full stature of Christ Jesus.

The Divine Human ‘being’ is what the Lord is after again: where man moves and finds his being— as God is, with God, led of God— and life is experienced forevermore— in THAT state of being: righteousness (truth and love lived in structure, carried out in execution).

Man can do nothing of himself— but YIELDING to the living, holy, God— he can do all things through Christ Jesus— who will strengthen them to do so.  It is the ‘influx’ of the Holy Spirit and God’s truth (which is life itself) —that shall cleanse us, transform us, and become us.  It is the love of God— that shall woo us back to him, as we behold his goodness (righteousness), admire his goodness, and seek to be as he is.

Influx— an arrival and inflow— usually of water (think Living Waters of the Spirit and truth), an ingress or flood; root definition— late 16th century (denoting an inflow of liquid, gas, or light): from late Latin influxus, from influere ‘flow in’ (see influence).

Influence— the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself; magnetic; affect, guide, govern, shape (same definition as affect), transform; root definition— late Middle English: from Old French, or from medieval Latin influentia ‘inflow’, from Latin influere, from in- ‘into’ + fluere ‘to flow’. The word originally had the general sense ‘an influx, flowing matter’, also ‘the flowing in of ethereal fluid (affecting human destiny)’. The sense ‘imperceptible or indirect action exerted to cause changes.’ 

So the Holy Spirit has been given unto us to bring an arrival, an inflow of holy presence and truth into us (waters) like an ingress— or entering in, and flooding a man’s heart (mind, thoughts, intentions, will, etc); as he influences us by having an effect on our character development, behaviors— magnetically (as two join) —by guiding, governing, shaping us within and transforming us; as the flow of his Spirit comes unto us from the River from the throne of God— affecting our destiny (destination) in the ether— or spirits of men; and this being action exerted to cause change— that is not outwardly perceived as to be happening within him.

THAT’S the definition of influx of God’s Spirit that he would like us to understand: and THAT is how a man is changed in form, from glory to glory— as he yields to the Spirit’s influx and influence upon the souls of men— as we join him in spirit, and are transformed by our proximity and yield to his glorious person, presence, and form/way/construction.

We are receptacles of the Lord God and his Spirit and form: and both are to be transforming us and animating us— as the Lord God leads us by his still, small, voice, and presence: for he abides in stillness— where love and truth are all that exists.  Do we?

Everything of faith — is constructed in the truth.

Everything good— is constructed in love (righteousness).

And we are to be both constructed in truth and love (righteousness) —and thus in faith and good: for God is to be animating us by his lead; for we are to be melded into him, and he— standing up by Spirit and form of— within us.

In THAT— we shall fulfill the law, the character, the conduct, the principles and ways of the elevation, loving one another as we love God (unity), abiding in shalom and shalem, and the fruit proof— will show on the tree: against such— there is no other law (Galatians 5:23).

_____

We are moved by breath (spirit/Spirit).  It’s how we communicate from the heart— where thoughts originate from; and then we bring forth those thoughts (based in affections) via words.  When we speak— spirit comes out; and a kingdom and way of— by the law/conduct of that kingdom— comes forth and can be known: as spirit/Spirit conveys its thought.  

• We have tones that correspond with our affections and intentions, and articulations that emphasize our intentions and affections.  All thought is born of affections— just what kind of affections (or lack of), and of/from whom (which spirit and kingdom)?  

Luke 6:45

“A good man —out of the good treasure of his heart— brings forth that which is good; and an evil man —out of the evil treasure of his heart— brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”

The tone— reflects the level of affection.  

The articulation— reflects the state/focus of mind (heart, with intentions).

Relate— how things are associated, interacted with, connected to, or compared to; root definition— ‘to bring back in narration.’

Narration— message delivered in order; root definition— ‘to tell account and knowledge of.’

If we are moving from our hearts (mind, thoughts, reasoning, judgments, principles, will, etc) and we are moving in affections of fondness to truth and love, attentive and in affinity with, intimate and regarding and respecting— in mental state of being— all, as we are influenced spiritually by the Lord’s Spirit; and are governed by God holy, loving, and true— affected in our shape/form/likeness, joined to him— thereby changing our disposition into his as he influences our heart in love and truth….

Then the tone of affection by which we breathe (spirit reference) out unto them in speech— ought to be in the depths of love and truth, with articulations that are with focus of mind from that of Christ Jesus; because we are joined to him now, right— and being moved by him?  And in this— we shall be associated, interacting with, connected to, and compared to Christ— in our inner faculties of spiritual operations— as we approach others; and the narration— the message in proper ‘order’ (or form) shall be told as an account of the knowledge of God in action, through us— right?

Character is disclosed— as one speaks— from the ideas of his/her thought life; because this is the source of a man’s focus of love (thought life).  But what kind of love is it —selfless or selfish, divine or fallen, dead or alive, crooked or straightened?  And from what source (river/River) does this flow influx from (spirit/Spirit reference), and from what kingdom?  For each of our books consists of the focus of our love/affection.  Best we know whom and what our affections are given to— for our hearts pour forth from this fountain or river.

The speech of Life— belongs to Love. 

(born in truth— true form)  

And if we are moved by Love (righteousness) we shall prefer other, exalt them above self, function in the fruits of the Spirit of God— in the truth of our true form; and we shall in this— fulfill the Law of the Spirit of Life: for in this— we shall be one with Life himself— in his true form: goodness, love, truth, and fruit actions of his Spirit in righteousness— and thus— this is why it is constantly uttered in heaven— HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS (who has always been— and in the same form), WHO IS (always— and in the same form— the ‘I Am’ be being, always), WHO IS TO COME (always the same in form and being); to where the 24 elders fall down before him as they cast their crowns down (a reference to the lowering of self) saying— Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power (why they cast their crowns down— only he ought to be exalted in pure authority): for you have created all things, and for your pleasure —they are and were created.

Anything else— any other conduct, our hearts given to anything or anyone else (self, assuredly) ought to be repugnant to us.  Our interior is to be moved in conjunction with the love and wisdom of God— and all else is to be dealt with (or cast down).  

Our light is determined by our innermost being; and our innermost being is to be in alignment with the Lord God in his truth and love (righteousness); having transformed us and changed us to be a new creation that lives and abides in the spiritual places that Christ does.  What flow or circumfluent atmosphere is flowing toward others from the depths of our being?  Is it that of Christ Jesus— in the elevation or ascension of love and truth?  Or is it from below— the devilish and sensual wisdom that is set as a lower life form of being— in relation to the righteousness of the Lord?  

Good and truth, wisdom and intelligence— we are to live in Truth and be moved by Wisdom.  Jesus demonstrated this by being ‘in’ the Father, and the Father ‘in’ him; as he was ‘given to’ do the will of the Father— as/by the Spirit, and the Spirit’s lead: Truth (proper form and structure) and Wisdom (the Spirit to bring us into and execute proper order, form, and being).  

Truly— when we are being influenced, guided, led, and Fathered by our Lord God in his truth and wisdom— we are then— the children of God who fulfill the summation of the Law of the Spirit of Life; who have learned to love God with all— in the ways of obedience to the truth; who then turn to his neighbor and do the same: any other law or conduct, form, or operation of spiritual life is an abomination toward our God above, and his kingdom; and is a lie and hypocrisy— if we claim his name (spiritual signature, vibration or sound, frequency or level of pure light) but do not live by it from the interior of our spirit and soul.

THIS— is why being liberated from darkness is the Lord’s agenda; and why truth and love are at the core foundational aspects of the rescue: for if we are not rescued from our light being dark, and returned to purity of light (righteousness— love and truth, in proper spiritual form) —then we are still yet in darkness, which is deception, and we are spiritually blind and deaf, estranged from God, love, and truth; and we deceive only our own souls— as we live as such: for truly— all of heaven knows the truth of God, and when his Spirit is in operation within a vessel or not.  It is only —ignorant man— who does not perceive this spiritual truth and reality: the spiritual kingdoms do— and they know their own, via spiritual signature.

There’s no such thing as men fooling the spirits of the spirit realm.  

There is only the spirits in the spirit realm (abiding in darkness) who are fooling ignorant men.
