Episode 487: What is the evidence that the Holy Spirit lives inside of you Part 2

[@jay8187]

Hey Kevin. So I was reading in Exodus that the manna that came down from heaven was called a thing, and in psalms, I think it was psalm 71, it describes Israel’s sin when they had the flesh still in their mouth they provoked God. How is that shadowed in the gospel, and is it the same thing referenced by Paul?

It’s in psalm 78 that describes Israel’s sin.

@@jay8187 Hello @jay8187. There were two purposes for the manna from heaven. 1. It was a type of Christ as THE Source of "life". The Lord Himself explained this to religious Jews in the John 6 discourse. 2. It was a shadow of Christ as THE Sustainer of "life" while the believer is here on the earth. The Lord Jesus also explained this to the religious crowd in John 6. By the way, do you remember what all the religious fake disciples did after Jesus told them that He didn't come from heaven to provide their fantasies and lustful desires for earthly things such as wealth, health, and a so called good life? ALL OF THEM STOPPED FOLLOWING HIM but the true disciples (believers) declared "Lord, where will we go, YOU ALONE HAVE THE WORDS (MANNA) OF LIFE! The fake disciples and religious people did exactly what the O.T. Jews did. They complained and cried out against the Holy One, desiring that which comes from the earth, the meat of this world, called flesh throughout the scriptures. They wanted their flesh which is a type of SIN. Listen to the Lord Himself describe this truth: John 3:18-21 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light (manna - Christ) has come into the world, and men loved darkness (flesh - sin) rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil HATES THE LIGHT (the sinner literally hates Christ) and does not (the sinner is unwilling to) come to the light (Christ), lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds (What deeds? His birth from heaven - Christ the Source, and his lifestyle on the earth - Christ the Sustainer) may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” God gave them manna from heaven because in the wisdom of God their journey through the desert which represents the believer's new birth Christ (dry bones Ezekiel 37), and wilderness which represents the believer lifestyle in the world (the regeneration but with no self abilities Ezekiel 37), required His sustaining nutrients. The manna prevented the body (the body of the believer) from contracting the diseases that comes from the futility (sinful pleasures) of the world, the futility (lustful desires to please self) of our own bodies, and the futility (deception) of the devil. The disease is called Beriberi. It attacks the feet which is why the bronze Laver of Water (Christ our Sanctification) was given to the Levitical Priests who performed service in God's Tabernacle & Temple which represented the body of Christ. Jesus taught this truth to His disciples when He Himself washed their feet. The believers cannot wash their own feet, only God the Holy Spirit can. Only once the Holy Spirit utilizing the Scriptures, calls out our sinful behavior (the washing) does the believer confess his/her sins. Here is the definition of Beriberi: Beriberi, also known as thiamine deficiency, is a disease that occurs when the body doesn't have enough thiamine, or vitamin B1. The name beriberi may come from the Sinhalese phrase බැරි බැරි, which means "extreme weakness". Beriberi can be caused by a number of factors, including: Diet: A diet consisting mainly of white rice can lead to beriberi. Alcoholism: Heavy drinking can make it harder for the body to absorb and store thiamine. Genetics: In rare cases, beriberi can be genetic, causing people to be unable to absorb thiamine from food. There are two main types of beriberi: Dry beriberi Affects the nervous system, causing symptoms like difficulty walking and loss of feeling in the hands and feet. Wet beriberi Affects the cardiovascular system, causing symptoms like a fast heartbeat and fluid overload in the tissues. The believer can only live a godly lifestyle if one continually feed on the word of God, which is Christ the living word. We will never go hungry for God if we don't miss the meal of feeding on God's word, bread of life. I will put you in remembrance of what the Lord told us, man shall not live on bread (natural food of any kind from the earth) alone but by every word (spiritual food, manna from heaven) that proceeds out of the mouth of God (written and spoken by the Holy Spirit who only quotes the word of God to us).

Yea he called them an adulterous generation. So for these reasons, when Christ chooses us, we are hated by the world also, especially when Jesus says we will face persecution and tribulation? Thanks Kevin.
