STOP AND JUST LET HIM BE.
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 2:5
The story of Noah and the ark is almost like a representation of God starting his creation all over again but with a man that was righteous in God eyes at that time and he saved that man (alongside his family and his sons and their family and all the animals that he created) safely in the ark while he washed away the world and started it afresh. God has been restructuring his creation since the beginning and each time man has come back in their own will, in their own flesh with their own ways in sin polluting His world, His Earth, again and again. He established a covenant through Moses that would wash away the sins of the people through the blood of goats and rams but because man was truly not repentance of their sins they were just going through the order the motions of sacrificing but yet living a very sinful willful life so then He sent Jesus.
Jesus, the lamb of God, the final sacrifice, the innocent life-given for us that were sinful that our sins may be washed away through His innocent blood.. He came to wash away sin and to kill that fleshly man and reconcile him back to the Father and make man more Spirit driven and led than flesh. We have the Gospels that teaches us how to continue to walk by the Spirit not by the will of our own flesh. The Gospel walks us through God's perfect plan for man and that perfect plan was that he sent Christ Jesus our savior who is the author of the Gospels, (the creator of the very world that we live in, the very Earth that we live on). That same Gospel teaches us how to follow Christ and not only follow Him but to allow that same Christ that died and rose to abide in US as we abide in him that we may walk no more according to the orders of flesh (in the orders of man's own will), but in the order of Christ by taking on his mind (which the scripture has commanded us to do) and to make ourselves a daily righteous sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God which is our reasonable service unto our Father; When we stretch forth our hands to take hold of the life that was given to us which would separate us from this cycle of walking in sin and walking in flesh against our Lord and our savior. Man's will and the walking in his own flesh and ways causes the destruction of the very creation that God has made.
We are living in that time today where man's will is destroying the world that is around us. God is again now calling his people together.. this world has made its way into the church.. Now God is calling his people out of a people, a remnant that's going to proclaim his name and walk in Spirit not in flesh
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
- Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
- Hebrews 3:1-6
And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:
“The Lord has sworn And will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),
by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant. Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.
- Hebrews 7:20-28
