Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

The bond between us and God is not based on anything we did or contributed. In nature bonding; physical or chemical reactions, participating reactants contribute electrons to produce the kind and strength of bonds created. Some bonds are weak because the reactants do not lose or detached from the parent nucleus. The bond we have with Jesus Christ is by faith. Circumcisized with invisible Hands, buried in and resurrected with Him. We are completely mingled and transformed and translated into His Personality willingly by believing and confession with our mouths.

Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

We believed by faith because we have no questions, doubts or fears about the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Word says, we were redeemed by incorruptible Blood. By belief and faith confession of Jesus Christ Sacrifice and acknowledged Him as Lord and Saviour, we are transformed into His Personality. We become His offsprings: circumcised by invisible Hand, washed by the Word, sanctified and cleansed.

1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

The strength of any chemical reaction is in the irreversibility/reversibility of the forward or backward processes or equilibrium constant. In irreversible reactions, there is no backward reaction. The process dies immediately one of the reactant is used up. In reversible reaction, the forward reaction would depend on the rate of removal of the products. Selection of the materials and conditions of reaction are important. As knowledge differentiates the rates of reactions, so it is with our relationship with God.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Jesus Christ stated conditions of our relationship with God. Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

There is no emotional attachments in our relationship with God. God honours our faith. We must seek Him in Spirit and in Truth. We believed that Jesus Christ is the incarnated God, He came as Man because only as Man could He contend with satan. He cannot reverse His Word, the authority He gave man to dominate the earth. He became Man so He can contend with satan to take back the authority He gave to man in the beginning. The irreversibility of our redemption and salvation is in the immutability of the Word of God covenanted by the sinless incorruptible Blood of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bo***ge. 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

In our relationship with God, we determine the extent of cultivated and built belief and faith and consequently the manifestation of the riches if God's grace and mercy. God gave us all things pertaining to life and godliness immediately we believed. Salvation is free but we could quench it through unbelief and faithlessness. Do not quench His Spirit in you through unbelief.

2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

1 Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

Do not be deceive. Spiritual things are not determine by our earthly wisdom. The spirit of man has no understanding of Spiritual things. We cannot build our relationship with God by the wisdom of men but by knowledge of the Word and Spirit of Jesus Christ. The mystery of iniquity is contrary and incompatible to the Mystery of the Kingdom of God. There is no midway. We choose the course of our lives either to walk on the path of righteousness or sin. We know who we are because God by His Word and Spirit in us, judge and speak to warn. God does nothing without the consent of our hearts. Choose life in Christ Jesus and live in Him.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

How are you processing your life? Take responsibility. Be intentional to exercise your heart thinking and imaginations in righteousness, contentment and godliness. God will never impose Himself on us. If we are Spiritual, we must take heed to our spoken words: by them we are either defiled or healed, justified or condemned. If you doubt the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, check the contrary and contending thoughts and imaginations taking place in your heart and your flesh responses. Unbelief in Christ Jesus is unforgiveable sin. No matter how beautiful the present, there is the hunger to know the essence of life: the vanity of life. Never take the patience of God to save you for granted. Refuse to remain in the bo***ge of fears, and unbelief projected by the mystery of iniquities. Be intentional to let God lead you by His Word and Spirit.

Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bo***ge again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Check what proceeds out of your mouth by Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. It is God's will we end with Him. We must not use our love for fleshly satisfaction to quench the journey to eternity with Jesus Christ. Help me, Lord Jesus Christ.

My Father and my God help me when my weaknesses speak to defile and quench my relationship with You. In Jesus mighty name.
Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Thank You Lord Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.

It is as dog returning to his vomit when we use symbols, the laws of Moses or mention metaphors, house, temple, anointing water, oil, food or cloths as vehicles to convey or worship God. Refuse idola. Christ died to deliver from the bo***ge of idolatry. He now lives as Spirit. He is Omnipresent, Omnipresent and Omniscience. Nothing on earth could contain or hold Him except us as His Temple. He is the Father and Lord to all who believed and acknowledged His Sacrifice by faith. Only believers manifest the terribleness of God to satanic kingdom by His Presence in us. All around us declare His glory to keep us from the wicked one, satan. We personified Jesus Christ. God does nothing on earth without our consent and by His immutable Word.
