Strength outside the Law, merely needs a moment - what you do with that moment is up to you (considering?)

Hi there,

So theologically we may identify the Wilderness, as being "outside the Law". Wilderness merely denotes that you are no longer engaging with the Law, to fulfil it, despite the curse (the curse that it can't make whole, only point to wholeness). What we do in the Wilderness, is merely pass the time, unless you are the messenger, in which case, the Law calls to you from out of the Wilderness. If the Law calls to you out of the Wilderness, you are obliged to approach the Law, in as much as you can fulfil the Law; but none who are imperfect can fulfil the Law, so even if you are a messenger, you can not approach the Law to the point that you enter in to the Law. This is why a voice is heard crying in the Wilderness "Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight", the messenger in the Wilderness, has a message, but only if the Lord can fulfil the Law, with the Cry that is Heard. This is how we begin to make our way out of the Law.

If the Lord begins to make our way out of the WIlderness according to the Law, we need strength. That strength exists in Spirit, because the Lord returns from the Wilderness to fulfil the Law with the memory of the Wilderness and the Law in the Wilderness in tact. However, it is only able to remain in tact if you give it time - for the Lord that means he needs to give Time, to His Gospel, that the strength of it impress upon Him the need to stay within reach of the thing that will give the Fulfilment of the Law meaning - the Cross - by which the strength of the Law can be shared equally with those who wait for the message of the Wilderness and the righteousness of it, being also cast out, by the Law, for not perfecting it. What the Cross takes away, needs its own record, however.

If a record is kept of what the Cross takes away, the Law need not repeat itself, for the one for whom it is fulfilled and if all wait for Him, then all are satisfied in the Gospel which sustains anyone who desires to be perfect with Him who keeps the Law by the Gospel, the Gospel that is granted Time to come to fruition. The fruition of the perfecting of the Law, read back to the one in the Wilderness and those who wait for his message, strengthens the Gospel lawfully from the perspective of the One who perfects it and is redoubled to those who give time and spirit - the moment and the strength of it - to the One, that they may also be One like Him, not in imperfection, but in perfection, for fulfilling the Law outside of the Law is easy and light, and those that do so realise the Light of the One, in Perfection in the Law (not only for the One's sake, but theirs also).

This then is a mystery! Where is that One, if not on the Cross, at which all things were perfected for all people? We must look within ourselves and make ourselves right with the Law, while we have time and strength to fashion the Gospel within ourselves, fit for every spiritual purpose. This is not something we do with carbon copies of the record, for the Record comes alive in us, to show us where the Gospel is coming to light most, that we may walk in it easily. If we turn back, we have nothing but Wilderness and a dying message, yet even dying it shows hope of Fulfilment, that the strength of the Gospel come again, as it did with Samson, not that Samson did what he did for himself, but for all those who were justified in putting the Holiness of God on show - some for condemnation inside the temple and some for praise outside the temple, who keep the record of God's strength in him (as Gideon put on show the righteousness of God in the Light, to scatter God's enemies).

So what happens to the message? If time in the Law is granted to it? It is strengthened to fulfilment, like the Gospel, but a mere shadow of the Gospels, which exists everywhere that the Light of the Gospel is revealed. It becomes a sign of good things, at work - especially that our inspiration in the Law and in the Psalms and in the Prophets, would be found everywhere within us needed for the work. We become complete, just as the Gospel is complete, and we know this, because now we know how to identify in the Law, where in the Law our perfection is needed - that is, to serve the One who gave us access to that Perfection! Thus even the Wilderness is complete, for the light and shadow that extends to it from the Law, in the Lord. The Lord is not further tempted, when He has faced temptation, but rather fulfilling the Law becomes tempting. If fulfilling the Law is tempting and the Wilderness is in Light, where the Message was, how can we not grasp the Gospel within us? And where will the Gospel lead: but to the Cross?

These things take time to understand, as was said "Strength outside the Law, requires only a moment", if you have only a moment to consider the Cross, it is well worth it, as it did, does and will have strength, if you give a moment to it (and time itself will be crucified to you). This is the becoming of great understanding, spirit and power, may God grant you with it, as much as the Cross is revealed in you.

God help you cleave to His Gospel, for the good that is to come (as was understood simply in Light, when the Law was revealed in Light).

God bless.
