Romans 8:29 "......he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son" he who consecrated a new and living way through the veil.........

I'm on a suffer in the flesh athon, determined not to keep back my sword from blood (Jeremiah 48:10) aka crucifying my flesh to it's lusts and desires! Jesus he could come anytime, I want to be ready. Luke 12:39-40 "And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." That speaks to me much to BE READY!!!!!!!!!! I really want to be ready! I can do that I can be ready! It's not a insurmountable task to not keep back my sword from blood (aka crucifying my flesh to it's lusts and desires ------- really not give in suffer suffer in the flesh!!!!!!! I'm heck vent to suffer in the flesh ------- I'm not the idea of utter saintliness ------ BUT I CAN LEAST DO THAT RIGHT!!!!!!!! Not be lazy not sit back in comfort.......Jeremiah 48:10-11: "Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed." Sit back and relax I like most on this earth am a fan of that I want a vacation home as much as the next person (there's a 30,000 boathouse near me man if I won a game show or something man I'd buy that in a flash) but not to be at total ease and rest like spoken of in this verse so speaks to me.........what a horrible thing that would be if I "keepeth back his sword from blood" blood that speaks to me to really to suffer in the flesh that last earthly thing I love - give that up! Til it hurts!!!!!!! til blood!!!!!!!!!!
This really spoke to me listening to brunstad mp3 tonight (I'll listen to their talk of taking up ones cross and following jesus, and crucifying ones flesh to it's lusts and desire they'll talk about this stuff for hours, and for hours I'll listen to them --------- very much like I'm working myself up to jump off a jesus cliff ----------- you don't know what's at the bottom.......what the heck you'll be like after you've crufied your flesh a slew and humbled yourself a slew etc. etc. but you know I know that is a jump I NEED TO MAKE NOW! to BE READY! for jesus's return ---------- nobody I don't think is like "I want to suffer in the flesh me me" we are to be "conformed to the image of his son" who thought equality with god to be robbery and humbled himself Philippians 2
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
That really speaks to me that even jesus humbled himself a slew and we are "predestined to be conformed to the image of his son" WHile Romans 8:29 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." I really believe that I'm to be conformed to the image of jesus WHILE ON THIS EARTH we are to follow him he who............Hebrews 10:20 "By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;" It is a new and living way jesus consecrated a way to go the way to life! A way to life jesus opened up "a new and living way" -------- he opened up "through the veil, that is to say, his flesh" Very much following jesus on this new and living way he consecrated through the veil that is his flesh I am being "conformed to the image of his son" conformed to christ's image! That image of denying myself and taking up my cross daily as jesus did. 1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:"
2 Corinthians 4:11 "For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh." While I'm here while I'm alive on this earth "that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh"
peter 3:18 speaks extra much to me tonight that jesus was "put to death in the flesh" there was a death to the lusts of the flesh with jesus who was tempted like us there was a flesh in christ to crucify to it's lusts and desires. JEsus came in the flesh the same flesh we have........"being put to death in the flesh" that powerfully speaks to me.
