Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,

Isaiah 55:10-11 (NLT) – “10 The rain and the snow   come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They   cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the   hungry. 11 It is the same with (God’s) Word. (He) send(s) it out, and it   always produces fruit. It will accomplish all (God) want(s) it to and it will   prosper everywhere (He) send(s) it.”

Frequently, I end this Scripture by saying: “and He sent it to me!”

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NIV;   NLT) – “7 Blessed is (s/he) who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in   Him. 8 (S/He) is like a tree   planted by the water that sends its roots out by the stream. It does not fear   when heat comes; its leaves remain green. It has no worries in a year of   drought and never fails to produce fruit.” (personalized)
Psalm 1:3 (NIV) – “(I) am like a tree planted by streams of water,   which yields fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever (I) do   prospers.” (personalized).

Combining both Scriptures, I end Psalm 1:3 by saying: “To the glory of God.”

The Sovereign LORD God Almighty, with Whom the blood of Jesus has reconciled once for all, those who choose to receive the ministry of reconciliation (2 Co 5:18-21) uses imagery in the WORD; that we might grasp basic operative principles or precepts of God’s Kingdom of Light; that as kingdom citizens we may have good success in establishing God’s covenant in the earth. Foremost, man (i.e., male, female) is spirit who has a soul/mind (i.e., intellect, emotions) and lives in a body/flesh. Partakers of the ministry of reconciliation have a re-created or regenerated spirit, born again of water and Spirit (John 3:1-6 & 7:37-39; 1Pe 1:23) through the finished work of Christ Jesus. Therefore, it is true unto us according to 2Co 5:17. However, the body/flesh which likes to be “in control”, will indeed win a significant number of times without the continual or ongoing renewal of the mind in the WORD by the power of the Holy Spirit. Throughout His ministry on earth, the Lord Jesus showed by example how God created man to operate on earth. Preparing to ascend, God the Son asked God the Father to send God the Holy Spirit to comfort, counsel, teach and remind us of all things Jesus (John 14:26 & 16:13). In other words, the Holy Spirit (big S) guides and teaches the re-created spirit (little s) in the way of the LORD by revelation of the information in God’s WORD for renewal of the soul/mind (i.e., intellect, emotions). Hence, when the re-created spirit teams-up with the (continually) renewed mind, the body/flesh doesn’t stand a chance. Such is the manner in which the body/flesh is brought under; enabling the ability to do that which the re-created spirit is inherently inclined to do, for the glory of God. “I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it” that I AM (Exodus 3:14) foreknew me before I was, and that providence is by God’s divine love, grace and power. (And) regardless of the natural realm’s dictionary which list frugality as a synonym for providence, the Omnipotent One has no need to be “sparing” because God isn’t limited by the world’s economy.
