in the Word of Truth, which then causes us to stand and speak forth what we
believe, even as this causes a rending to happen within us, for Christ to be formed
in us this needs to be, as we come up
in His glories even for a better resurrection for them who
believe: The heart wars against our flesh, even as Christ wars against the man of sin within: For out of the abundance of our hearts our mouth doth speak, therefore; if we speak not the Wholesome Words of our Lord, Then our hearts are still wicked: But to advocate for wickedness instead of Christ, one has become a teacher of lawlessness, he then advocates for the man of sin: Many who have come out of
religion has done this, as they went from one mountain top «from the extreme right» of self exaltation (
Religion) to the other mountain top «to the extreme left» of the (Heathen) and missed the valley
in - between that is takes to humble us: One extreme to the other, and missed Jesus: Jesus is taking ones through the valley's to strip us down of all who we are before exalting us to be just as He, even as the Christ
in us overcomes that man of sin (Adam) through theses valleys of contrast that cause a rending to happen within; and when we are rent
in two, we stand on His word of truth,
so we too can become one with Him, even as Jesus is with our Father: This is how Christ is formed
in us: Thank - you Father;
in Jesus Name Alexandria
