I don’t know the day, week, month or year Mary gave birth to the Seed
God’s post salvation Seed plan is to change the life a soul lives in Flesh
There’s a Reward in the New Jerusalem City for the quickened Faithful!
Part 8
Most eternally quickened souls don’t let the mind of God work in Them.
They are distracted from the Rewards of Inheritance waiting in Heaven
Fleshly present life mammon distracts the saved from worshipping God.

Philippians 2:5 – Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus
Philippians 2:13 – For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
John 6:62,63 – What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? [63] It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Even though Christ has ascended where he was before, he is very much alive in every believer, and the words he spoke are very much alive, and God works in the believer to let the mind of Christ direct him to will and to do of his good pleasure.
The believer may, or may not, let the mind of Christ direct his path and attitude, but after the incorruptible seed is transplanted in him, it immediately begins to attempt to direct him in the path of Christ’s choosing. The path begins in I Peter 2:1, and continues to 2:8.
Luke 8:11 – Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
I Peter 1:23 to 2:9 –Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. [24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: [25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. [1] Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, [2] As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: [3] If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. [4] To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, [5] Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. [6] Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. [7] Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, [8] And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. [9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
The stone, which the Jewish builders of the temple were guilty of refusing, has become the head stone and the foundation of each local New Testament church that teaches his doctrines. The one temple in Jerusalem was replaced by many local temples or local churches.
Psalm 118:22-28 – The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. [23] This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. [24] This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. [25] Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. [26] Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. [27] God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. [28] Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
The believers of today are to preach his name, and to praise and exalt him in song in the midst of each one of his local churches. Each church is a local visible body of scripturally baptized believers following his doctrinal teaching, and each one is built together as his assembled body in that place.
Hebrews 2:12 – Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Ephesians 2:22 – In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
The Presence of the Glory of God dwelt in the Temple of Solomon. The Presence of the Glory of God dwells in each one of his churches today. It is the place God has chosen to receive glory by Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 3:21 – Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
The church is not a building of mortar and stone or any other material, it is a building made up of its members that meet the criteria of Acts 2:41,42.
Acts 2:41,42 – Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
