Working out life will be what is at issue in everyday living. How you treat people, how you handle everyday life in daily living, how you see things, being filled with the Holy Spirit. Not him just being there, but being filled with the Spirit, and putting the world in proper perspective by Spirit taught knowledge (revelation). What is the proper perspective of the world? you have learned the world is a schoolhouse. For years I was told the world belongs to the devil and bad things happen because of that. Then you see evil and say..yes it must be look at all the evil.

No perspective of what the Lord may be doing in the world..in creation..no knowledge..just pure speculation on what people believe about a particular subject. No revelation, no knowledge of God's plan, not even considering the scriptures are full of what God has done and is doing in the world. We take our troubles like God is having the same trouble in the world. He has no trouble in the world..as a matter of fact he is using his creation and all that is in it, to bring forth his perfect plan and purpose for creation.

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation, - 2 Corinthians 5:18.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. - Romans 8:28.

I like to say! this place is perfect for what he wants. Now that sounds strange in a world that has so much evil in it. But if you look at how the world is, how he first gets birthed children out of it. Most come through the hell that is in the world. Then for the children he births (the born again), the world becomes a schoolhouse for the father to train his sons and daughter's to live in his house, the maturing of a son. Spiritual growth!

1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth in nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all.
2 But he is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father. - Galatians 4:1-2.

• Now a important part of your teaching in your father's schoolhouse will be giving the Holy Spirit his proper place as a teacher. Do not have him as your life, or all the other things people come up with. Give him proper recognition as your teacher. He will be alot of things to you, but according to scripture his main ministry is to reveal Christ to you. You do not need a Holy Ghost flame throwing ministry, you need him to do what he was poured out to do, and that is to lead you and guide you into all truth, seeing Christ as life, understanding scripture, knowing the plan and purpose of God before the foundation of the world. That is how you work out life..give him proper place and he will teach you all things, and what life to live by. All things to us will be; exactly what you need to know to live in this world..a different knowledge.. different understanding. Religion will not understand you..they cannot control you and therefore you will be no good to them. That is how you escape religion, by the Holy Spirit revealing truth to you. You will have need of nothing as the Spirit leads you. He will bring you right to the Christ that is in you. Reveal him as your only life..and you live by that life. The twain are one. The two are made one in knowledge..it is the joined unto spirit - joined unto the soul/mind. Compatibility will keep you in this world as you go.

But as it is written: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.” - 1 Corinthians 2:9.

What God has for the believer..we are not even looking for it. It will not come in a package you are looking for. We really feel we have a handle on all this God business..in reality we have no idea what he has prepared for you..and that is for today, not some day in the sweet by and by.

Hello soul man, read your post something that came to my mind was this.

“So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5:6-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
