SEPARATING THE SPIRITUAL FROM THE PHYSICAL

THE HIDDEN MEANING

INTRODUCTION

     In these next scriptures, we at VAL-TE’ would like to share our belief, in what is meant to always follow Your conscience. Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Immanuel. Jude 3-4 NKJV

Biblical Word

     SERPENT – He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But when Immanuel turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” Mark 8: 31-33 NIV

Reference

     John 13: 26-27 – Immanuel answered, “I will dip some bread in the sauce and give it to him; he is the man.” So he took a piece of bread, dipped it, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. Immanuel said to him, “Hurry and do what you must!” GNT

Significance

     False Teacher – We at VAL-TE’ also believe You have died with Immanuel and are set free from the ruling spirits of the universe. Why, then, do you live as though you belonged to people of flesh and blood? Why do you obey such rules as “Don’t handle this,” “Don’t taste that,” “Don’t touch the other”? All these refer to things which become useless once they are used; they are only human rules and teachings. Of course such rules appear to be based on wisdom in their forced worship of angels, and false humility, and severe treatment of the body; but they have no real value in controlling physical passions. You have been raised to life with Immanuel, so set your hearts on the things that are in heaven, where Immanuel sits on his throne at the right side of God. Keep your minds fixed on things there, not on things here on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Immanuel in God. Your real life is Immanuel and when he appears, then you too will appear with him and share his glory!
