Romans 3 to 5 is a dangerous switcherooney. What you are doing in the Spirit is closely closely related to mid life crisis of the soul...... Or M Scott Peck's Different Drum , moving out of the confines of psychological stage two :socialisation into the next platform , which is the inner quest for the true you .
What happens if you take the hands off the wheel ? There can be a few crashes but another analogy could be the new technique of flying planes by mindpower alone , the reasoning ( no pun intended ) being that we can then power craft at the speed of thought . Christ becoming our real operator , has to be so real , initially He has to be allowed the necessary freedom to BECOME OUR LIFE . The Holy Spirit has to be allowed to create the inner aversions to not doing things or doing things . Otherwise as Colossians states we are forever stuck inside elemental spirits choices of do this or don't do this .
So yes , it's a bit dangerous , because those inner things you have well hidden have to surface and be corrected by a work of grace on our Insides learning to walk this Christ as us stuff . One phrase Christ used was " become as a little child ". The King-dom The Reign of God is dynamic not inert like the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and evil . Imagine the sterility of a mule . That is the life of works . In respect of service to God ,that really helps to define why Cain's sacrifice was rejected , whereas Abel's sacrifice was accepted .
Abel's was a way of life , being led to shepherd and care for sheep , then being led to prepare and give his best sheep for slaughter . Everything about Abel was entering into how the Father felt about giving up His Only Beloved Son . Abel never sat down and worked this out . He reflexively did the next thing and the next thing ....then out of love for the Lord felt to give of His best sheep .
We took early steps as a Jesus Move relearning 1 Corinthians 12 worship .
Thirdlevel Christianity is crazy because it's believing upon this " next thing " way of living ....believing that Christ the King , is living in you as you . We took early steps as a Jesus Move relearning 1 Corinthians 12 worship . The Holy Spirit would give a song , a reading , a prophecy . Many of the Fisherfolk's songs and Dave Bilbrough 's songs came out of these situations and then became the stuff of songbooks sung across our nation . But neither of them sat down and intended that spin off . Then in the case of the Fisherfolk they moved out of the endless charismatic hamster wheel of ministry moving out from their hub at Yeldall Manor to a Scottish Island for a brief while . Shortly after , Graham Pulkingham's wife , Betty , who I am not sure was born again when they first moved out of middle class suburbs to down town inner city Houston , she writes " Celebrate the Whole of it " beginning to describe the whole of life aspects that become our Colossians 3.3 Romans 12 1-2 Galatians 2.20 experiences .
So you are taking the faith steps learned in charismatic land , for walkies outside the meeting room door . Fourth quartiles or eagle faces or curators of the eagle flight of spirit .....typically in music or winging it in prophecy .....then learn to live all of life in a quest for truth . So quicker than is normal for the other quartiles , they are made to BEGIN THEIR WALK IN HARD LINING TRUTH . Thank goodness all four quartiles don't do this simultaneously ....we'd fall apart as communities , unless we were all led simultaneously into the wilderness or " lockdown " , with manna and quail raining down . Living in the flesh .....and thankfully all of us do some things reflexively from our inner heart or good conscience as Paul writes ....or as complete outsiders like the Good Samaritan ..... But actual mechanical living from flesh pulls of sin , or purely outer compulsions of socially driven acts ....all of this is inert .
It doesn't GO ANYWHERE . Living by faith clicks us into the God realm . This is where SUPPLY EXISTS . The second mile is where Kingdom is . It's using the faith we had to step out and " let God " in meetings , then becomes our faith ready to flex like new muscle in the whole of life . All Kingdom or Reign of Jesus stuff is NOT LIKE THAT STERILE MULE ....It's dynamic . It goes somewhere .
..... But actual mechanical living from flesh pulls of sin , or purely outer compulsions of socially driven acts ....all of this is inert .
The diligent shall rule . All Word leads to City on a Hill . To taking our Sovereignty where we plant the soles of our feet in Book of Joshua . It leads as Paul writes to becoming a local kingly authority as an ekklesia .
Corinthians was still a young church making the switcheroony when Paul wrote " Would that you were kings , then we ( apostles ) would reign with you ". The life we receive from Christ is a top down life , but while we are making the switch , it doesn't have that appearance AT ALL . Think King David being chased around a wilderness . We have to make the changeover from perching on the Rockefeller / Rothschild Tree ......Which is really a complete house of cards ,based on Trauma mind control that creates a dependence ..... Until we have risen internally to our situation and gained faith for all of life , and not just ' 1 Corinthians 12 through 14 meetings' .
Stage one ....obey that inner crisis for peace , for forgiveness , for inner emptiness ....come into your personal Passover that we all must do and still do .....come to Jesus hand over your life to One who has paid our price . Receive His actual new life into your Spirit . Get baptised in water and watch your own funeral in Jesus Christ .
Stage two Grab your own personal Pentecost . Get baptised in the Holy Spirit . Learn proper Christian meetings relying on the Holy Spirit together .
Everything looks a shambles as thousands upon thousands are in the early stages of making the switcheroony , while the rest are still stuck in might is right pyramid structures under one learned rabbi , as is the way of the religious flesh order . It's not by might , nor by power , but by My Spirit says the Lord .
