Giving thanks unto the eternal inheritance
Brought forth by the sacrifice of Christ
The consuming fire to burn away weeds and thorns
Separating the wheat from the chaff
That one might be a dwelling place
For the promised spirit to reign.
Christ has the keys to set one free
Submitting unto the Holy Spirit
To place all enemies under the foot
Which is old self or darkness trying to reign
When one receives vision of the evil
And deception of lies under the sun
That one once was apart of
But has found there is a new creation
Being formed not taught of man.
Old covenant turned into New covenant
Old self being transformed into New living being
This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
Jeremiah 31:33?-?34 NIV
Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place. But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
Hebrews 9:1?-?2?, ?11?, ?14 NIV
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Corinthians 6:19?-?20 NIV
