Confirmed In You

1Cor.1:6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
1:7 so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1:8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Here is an enduring truth if we place our hope in anything less then Christ our hearts and dreams will come to great disappointment and possibly our faith will be ruined as well? The power Satan has over mankind is found in the flesh, the flesh of Eve whom he deceived and ruined her life, and her husbands.

Isaiah 29:14 therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden."

That is the slippery slope that each one of God's anointed are faced with they are given an abundance of help from above, but the power of the flesh in sight and approval is so powerful that it has misleads the whole world.

Jeremiah 9:23 Thus says Yahweh, Don't let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don't let the rich man glory in his riches;

Christ through the apostle Paul's calls us to mind we have been confirmed by Spirit “in us” there is no gift i.e., of the Holy Spirit that is lacking in the Holy Spirit, which confirms us from the beginning of our anointing. The Spirit is our truth, nothing “in the flesh” confirms us, although, many want the confirmation of men in flesh over the truth of the Spirit. How easily these brothers and sisters in Christ at Corinthian's forgot the truth confirmed in them was not by the approval of men, but just as it is written by the power of the living God.

Daniel 1:20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.

Daniel 2:20 Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.

To greedily lust and fight with flesh to defend flesh, and their ability, or even authority to teach, as if something lacked in Holy Spirit for God's anointed, was, and is, the wisdom of this world, and it great leader scholars those placed in high position in the mind's of men, which is to no avail for God's anointed, for from conception flesh and blood had nothing to do with God's wisdom in them, or the power of any flesh whatsoever upon this earth, they were bought from this earth not by the will of men, but by the will of God for his divine purposes in Christ!

Matthew 12:42 The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.

Acts.6:10 They weren't able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
6:11 Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

1 Corinthians 2:4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

1 Corinthians 2:5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Should one throw away such freedom to be enslaved again to the whims and teachings coming from flesh minds of men captivated by their own importance over the love of God? This was not an option for a child of God, not a decision that needed to be made this is not question the flesh the Spirit says the is against the Spirit of God even if its cloaked in righteousness by the words coming from its mouth.

1 Corinthians 2:6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.

1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He has taken the wise in their craftiness."{Job 5:13}

1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

There wasn't anything they could obtain to higher than Christ this truth of the Spirit was in them. There was no side show, something missing as if one must go beyond the teaching of Holy Spirit into some deep truth to know more about God and Christ.

Ephesians 3:10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places.

Colossians 2:3 in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.

James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

Contentment, sanctification, resting, faith is not word owned by the flesh, it must stir up trouble to feel its doing something for God, it can't rest in faith and the strength of the Lord. The flesh “cannot” be in-subjection to God, and his Holy Spirit. The flesh lives in fear of death, of judgments, and it can't trust anything let alone God invisible present. What is the truth of the heart, why bragging a lie against the truth from fears of our flesh?

1 Corinthians 7:23 You were bought with a price. Don't become bondservants of men.

2 Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
What drives a person to preach? What makes them contentious, pushing to make a point, to prove a point, Holy Spirit or the spirit of the person in them? These brothers and sisters were to find out that all the effort in their flesh did not justify them; all their effort in fighting with one another was not in Christ, they would find out the flesh is dead, and Christ will not uphold it, he will not bless it, or condone it ungodly actions. Test will come many of them for those in the flesh, having the Christ in them. Some would soon see who is a approved not by man's approval, but Holy Spirit, and the difference of those who were just using words, and not the power of God's Kingdom, Christ Jesus. Anything less than Christ is an act of loose conduct for these brothers and sisters.

1 Corinthians 3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.

1 Corinthians 11:19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

2 Corinthians 10:18 For it isn't he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

1 Thessalonians 2:4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don't you know as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified.

The fire had started, could they under go their baptism by fire, the baptism of Holy Spirit? Absolutely, they have the promise in them, but that fire will become very intense if they try to quench it with flesh thoughts. For the Spirit consume the flesh, and it thoughts, it can't stand in the house of God which is who they were. They are the living sacrifice consumed by the fire of Jah! Nothing was lacking in their anointing, the only lack is found in the flesh, the lack Satan made Eve feel, the same trickery he was putting upon these brothers and sisters. Nothing lacked for Eve, not one thing good, would they and us fall for the same scam and ignore the living truth in us?

Levitius 3:5 Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

Matthew 3:12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."

Mark 9:49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

1Pet.1:6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,
1:7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ--

1Pet.2:1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
2:2 as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,
2:3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
2:4 coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
2:5 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
