Become a Light to yourself – and to whomever can receive it.
When I work for the GTW Railroad Company. They had what was know as a Proceed Train. It only went from an Origin point to it's Destination or Terminal point. That Direction was Forward. This is what we must do to become like Christ. For we shall be just as He is. For He is the Pattern Son of Many! As we learn about the Christ we come to see that the Christ dwells inside of Us from the beginning. We have been lowered or (made less) than Christ or God. That was the Plan of God, so we can have Eternal Life through the Christ that dwells in all beings.
On that trip from Origin to Destination. There was a lot of scenery that went by. Sometimes we had to take a siding and wait for awhile. Then we got a Green light to Proceed to our Destination. That's like when we read the letter of the word. Sometimes we had to go into a siding and wait. But when the Spirit of the Word (give us the Green Light) to Go, We move on. Sometimes we would get a "Hot Box Detector Alarm" So many axles south rail. I had to go and walk back and inspect that freight car, and see what was wrong with it. If it was determined to be a problem that could stop or cause a derailment. We cautiously moved it to the closes side track and removed it from the train. This is what you have to do with the past knowledge you have in your train. When God gives you a Hot Box Warning, you must inspect that knowledge to see if that will Stop or Derail your train! You must remove it from the train. You must leave it behind. You must move forward to our Destination in THE CHRIST!
Forgetting those things (precepts & concepts we grew up with) those went by us a long time ago. May God help us to come to our destination. Eternal life in him. Through The CHRIST, For we are Children of the Creator.
My wish is to help in our walk with the Christ. As I come to understand how the Christ works in Our life. I will share with you. You can receive it. Or choose another path. That choice is ours. May the Creator of all there is. Open up our minds to see how we can walk with the Christ. It is so much much more than what you have perceived.
