    Ro.12:1-2 "Living sacrifice" (1 of 2)

    Leaving the worlds framed by the word we shall examine the world made to appear, where the earthly tabernacle tells of a vile body formed out of dust of the ground. The glorious tabernacle "we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" forms what is unseen. (2 Co.5:1) Jesus refers to the face where these two worlds interface. "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."( John 7:38) The vision of Isaiah illustrates this temple."Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar." (Is.6:6). In the vision it evokes the vision of John and the altar of soul was placed on the sea of glass. " I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held."(Re.6:9)

    The face between the heart and the belly is one. Seraphim guards this by their wings as with their two pairs they guard above and below. "The seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly."(6:2)

    As mentioned earlier each face is established where a believer may fly to the heavenly places as well as guard their walk. "How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word."(Ps.119:9-10) "Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." (Ps.81:10). Israel would have none of it. They shut out their ear of faith lest they should be converted. The liver and caul were to be burnt. "And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar."(Ex.29:13) Our living sacrifice covers all the worldly appetites that war against our soul.

    Thirdly a life of separation."Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood,"(He.13:12-15)
