Works, works, works. To me, I believe that when people begin to push works, that they are kind of like jumping the gun, like having sex out of wedlock; the entering in of the soul being as marriage. Paul did say to remember to be compelled towards having good works, but the point of the fact, is that our works should be natural outworkings of the love that is in our soul, and not things that we force ourselves to do, just as sex isn't something that is enjoyable, when it is forced. Our soul, in a way, is like the body of the spirit and heart. The soul is like the jubilee of the spirit and heart. I believe that our physical body should be used so that our soul may prosper. And in this way, our physical body is as a ship that we are pointing in the right direction so that when the wind, the soul, and the air comes, the vessel can glide upon the waters. 3 John says that our body will prosper when our soul does, and so I believe that we have to position our body, so that our soul will prosper, and that this is putting spirituality first. And that after that, our body prospers, as our soul did. I also know that if we do anything in our own strength, even though Paul said that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, that we are without the power of God, and in jeopardy of bearing thorns and briers, as Hebrews says. Therefore, what we are given so that we may position our body so that our soul may prosper, is the Spirit of Power, Love, and a Sound Mind, as Paul also wrote about. In these things, our works then are like making love, and having a love song, in which nothing is forced, but positioned so that power, love, and health may continue to prosper us fully. When our soul prospers, then we have all of the love that we need to be able to have works that are natural and not forced. The NT also speaks about the revelation of Jesus Christ, even before Revelation was written, most probably. And I believe that this sets us up with the knowledge of God in all things. And so I believe that the Revelation of Jesus Christ is a living thing that we can tap into, that is spiritually alive and present, even though it has not yet physically happened. And in this way we can gain all of the spirituality that is present in God, and the written word of God, and then have this given into our mortal flesh, in whatever manifestation that is at hand.
