Heb.2:13 Again, "I will put my trust in him."{Isaiah 8:17} Again, "Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me."{Isaiah 8:18} 2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 2:15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Many today, and back at Paul's time did not see themselves in bondage, but rather fought to stay in bondage in making a name for themselves upon earth. So many profess Christ while not even realizing their home, their roots are not earth bound, but from heaven down.

Revelation 3:12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.

Christ the sanctifier of his body came from above, from freedom, freedom from death, sin, and the bondage which plagues all human on earth to suffer against the fallen flesh conquering it lust against the Spirit so we might follow in his foot steps. The power of death started from the first sin, from sin, fear of death entered into all human the need for survival. Faith and love did not enter in, but death, the fear of no God, or making a deal with God, making man a god, buildings, idols into God so one can ally the fear of death.

Rom. 1:17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."{Habakkuk 2:4}
1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
1:19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. 1:20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse. 1:21 Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
1:23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things. 1:24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves, 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Subsequently, a world wide system of things was built generation upon generation, but still the power of death stock each and everyone of us. The issues is not power, but death, it's power which blinds every generation of human on earth into a course of surviving in their flesh as long as they can, using every means possible. Flesh is a world of words truth is like a shadow changing minute to minute, where a word can wipe all a person has away, or give them power untold over others.

Revelation 22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book.

2 Peter 2:3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn't linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

Nothing lasting in the power of the fallen flesh, human have good, but all have thorns, disappointment follows the good. People struggle to put faith in other humans, like drunk men running to the next personality, cling, defending, politicking, and yes, even killing for a person elevated into god statues. All seeking a savior for a few years which passes like a mist, a flower fading gone, but enshrined, with books, libraries, monuments, whatever it takes to make their god still alive and relevant.

Isa.40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh's breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass. 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."

Faith is not the possession of all mankind, few find the narrow road, many mix the words of Christ into a life on earth, stealing all that is good, righteous, and precious to build their empire thinking they can have both. But the fear of death stocks them, not the love of God, in faith that puts all fear outside, they have no real relationship, they have words repeat, or actions repeat in mote. They have not the comforter, which gives us the gift of God's love, Christ Jesus indwelling them as the flesh fails the Spirit is renewed the wasting of the flesh wars is brought to nothing in Christ until its consumed, left as after birth, for the glorious freedom of the son of God.

2 Corinthians 1:17 When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"

2 Corinthians 3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

2 Corinthians 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

2 Corinthians 5:16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
