No Clergy/Laity divide

Now to Peter, whose tone in his writings is much different than the
personality traits typically assigned to him by many commentators. But
of course it is fitting that the one whose name means “stone” would
describe us all as living stones comprising a spiritual house. But he
also calls us “a royal priesthood”. Every believer is a priest! There is
no special “clergy”, no earthly intermediary between ourselves and our
Savior. He even repeats this in verse 9 to emphasize the point.

Take time to behold the Glory of the Lord in Christ Jesus

August 26th The Supplied Life Bill Freeman
Beholding
”But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:18
When Moses was on the mountain with God, he was not doing anything. He was not analyzing his own situation. He was not looking at himself. He was simply there watching the scenery, watching everything pass by him. Moses was just there and God passed by proclaiming His name, His goodness, His mercy, and His forgiveness. It was after seeing all of this that Moses came down from the mountain shining.
In 2 Corinthians 3:18 Paul says, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding . . . the glory of the Lord." To behold this glory we need to exercise ourselves to let the glory of Christ's Person and work pass before us. Paul practiced this in his preaching of the gospel. Thus, he could write to the Galatians about how the Lord Jesus had been openly portrayed crucified before their eyes (Gal. 3:1). By such a gospel scenery they came under "the hearing of faith" and received the Spirit (Gal. 3:2). In other words, they received the Spirit by letting the crucified Christ pass before them by means of hearing the gospel. They beheld His Person and work and were infused with the Holy Spirit. There are many other verses in the New Testament that talk about beholding the Lord, such as beholding the glory as of the only begotten from the Father in John 1:14, seeing Jesus in Hebrews 2:9, seeing the ascended Son of Man in John 6:62, beholding His glory in John 17:24, and looking away unto Jesus in Hebrews 12:2. These kinds of verses stress the importance in our daily life of allowing the Lord's entire redemptive process to pass before us, including His incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and enthronement. We also need to behold all that His wonderful Person is, with all His attributes. What transforms us is seeing His mercy, His kindness, His goodness, His righteousness, His holiness, and His worthiness. All that Jesus is and all that He has passed through in His redemptive process needs to become our daily scenery. To be transformed, we just need to spend time with the Lord and let this scenery pass before us. Every day, even every hour, we can behold the glory of the Lord.

We are the temple of God in Christ Jesus

The Supplied Life Devotional for December 18

His enlargement

Revelation 21:22

"But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple." Revelation 21:22

When this verse reveals that God Himself is the temple, it does not mean that God is the temple by Himself. Rather, it means that God is so thoroughly and completely embodied in His people that they have become an enlargement of Him as a temple (1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Cor. 6:16). They are His dwelling place to such an extent that they perfectly express Him and have His glory (Rev. 21:9-11). God's building at the end of the Bible is composed of God Himself built into every saint transformed and conformed to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29).

 2 Corinthians 10:4

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:4

Stop yourself and open wholly to the Lord. You cannot do anything to change yourself, but you are connected to the source of power, to the Triune God, to the name of Jesus, to the Spirit of God who casts out demons. You are one with that Spirit. Stay one with Christ, hold Him as the Head, stay with your spirit, believe the truth, and stand with the Body. This is how to have a transfer. It is to stop ourself and open to the Lord and contact Him. 

We have been interpreting our own life. We have been doing the living. We have lived to ourselves, and we are a subjective mess — deceived and filled with demonic activity. Now we need to disassociate ourself from the enemy. And this enemy is not merely an objective enemy. It is a subjective enemy enmeshed with our soul, possessing us with our own state of mind and our own moods. You have to disassociate yourself from your mood, from your own feeling. The enemy hates this word. Acting on this word will deliver us all. 

The best kind of prayer to deliver us from this subjective state is to exercise our spirit and draw a line. On this side of the line, speak boldly to the enemy, "You fallen angel, you devil, you demons, I have been enmeshed with you. I have thought your thoughts, I have believed your feelings. You have caused me to be shut up to myself. But this day, I am drawing a separating line between you and me. I declare war with the weapons of my warfare that are mighty through God. My real person is Christ. It is no longer I. I have been crucified with Christ. Now Christ lives in me. I am regenerated in my spirit. The truth is mine and I stand one with the members of the Body." Take these four pillars and you will overthrow the stronghold of self. You will drive out every subjective state that keeps you in bondage to self. The transfer will be there.
