Off Into the Flesh
They began in the Spirit.
But, alas, how the Church of the next century went off into the flesh!
They thought to perfect the Church in the flesh.

Spiritual Progress is not a question of attaining to some abstract standard, not a question of pressing through to some far-off goal;
It is wholly a question of Seeing God’s Standard.
God does NOT give individuals individual experiences.
All that they have is ONLY an Entering Into what God has Already Done.
It is the Realizing in time of Eternal Things.
Unspeakable are the Blessings
Which Flow to the soul
From the Union With Jesus
In His Glorified Life.
He that Abides In Christ the Crucified One,
Learns to Know what it is to be Crucified With Him,
And In Him to be Indeed Dead unto sin.
And they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. Matthew 24.30
GALATIANS 3:2-3
This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

COLOSSIANS 3:3-4
For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

JAMES 5:16
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
PSALMS 66:16-20
Come and hear, all who fear God,
And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.
I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
If I regard wickedness in my heart,
The Lord will not hear;
But certainly God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.

MATTHEW 24:30
And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.
