Enmity VS worship & Glory

-
I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies
18:3
Since the Mighty Holy Spirit of God is working around - by prayer by the father's grace & will - the fight is quite different from the OT type situation.
God's glory is fearful and unbearable for the Evil one.
Our glorious, intimate heritage is incomparable to the old, religious conditional system we can see in the Holy & devoted tasks of the Levitical priesthood.
Our heritage comes from the Ultimate High Priest of Gd Most High. Our priesthood has infinite power-background for deliverance, for caring, for the representation of glory in Christ, by the glory of God.
Let us see some examples:

For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory...
...
Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses...
...
the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom.
2Cor 3:9. 12.17

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immedia­tely all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened.
Act 16:25
  ⇓
not by their own sword did they win the land,
nor did their own arm save them,
but your right hand and your arm,
and the light of your face,
for you delighted in them.
Ps 44:3
  ⇓
Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!
Ps 148:1-2
  ⇓
The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
Bless the LORD, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
Bless the LORD, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
Ps 103:19-21
  ⇓
Who in the skies can be compared
to the LORD?
a God greatly to be feared
in the council of the holy ones..
Ps 89:6-7
  ⇓
For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
and you have been filled in him,
who is the head of all rule and authority...
Col 2:9

Do not drift back to the Law

study Our modern Bible editions spoil us, giving cosy overview of the biblical scriptures and helpful case studies when we meandering through the labyrinth of doctrines. However, our helpers sometimes mislead us by slicing up the original composition of thoughts. In the letter for the Galatians ap. Paul discusses spiritual slavery versus spiritual freedom. He is concerned about the status of the early Galatian churches. Due to the constant influence of Jewish traditionalism and its followers, the local believers cannot withstand the pressure to restore the Law by partially keeping the circumcision. {or any other parts of the old covenant} As Paul often points out, it is impossible to maintain the old and develop the new. Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the Law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. 2 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, 3 while the son...

What the early chapterhouses teach us today

series: Central Spaces Wells Cathedral, Somerset cc 1275 - 1310 Before you read or listen to this article I really recommend that you may open and read the associated pre study here: about the stage effect . This gives an insight into how frontal performance, action (on the stage, then on the screen) has influenced our modern media-fuelled society and how it works in the church. Yes. Indeed in the Church - when Sunday worship is slowly and gradually reduced to a kind of performance and service—for visitors. However, this is a postmodern phenomenon {or diagnose}, not the normal way of life for the community. I'd like to recommend this booklet for help or contemplation, NOT like a pre-digested, instant doctrine. Chapters: intro The centrality in Gd's Kingdom   In the Old Testament   In the New Testament What is the chapterhouse? Chapter houses in England Briefing Late and (post)modern adaptations Intro When reading the Bible, ...

From Guilt to the Throne

Guilt or Throne? spiritual, mental hygiene, mutual need, purification, confidence, etc. This article is part of the "Vitalize" pack Dear saints and beloved! I recently visited a church which has a beautiful family life but suffers from a typical 21 century sickness. The guilt. Interestingly, leaders have told me that members are not as eager to come and get their lives back on track when they commit sins. They simply do not confess them openly. Since it is pastoral responsibility first - I really don't understand, why... The place we came from I believe that guilt is one of the most serious attacks on the humankind. People, nations can do "amazing" things to get rid of guilt. They walk thousands of miles, they squeeze themselves, they oppress themselves and unfortunately they oppress others just to see their own lives as superior and better. In fact, we see whole networks promising "grace" without any chance of conversi...
