Renewing Our Minds - A Pure Heart

Renewing Our Minds - A Pure Heart

Psalm 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations. 29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

2 Esdras 7:[90] But now to speak of death: when the Most High has given final sentence for a man to die, the spirit leaves the body to return to the One who gave it, and first of all to adore the glory of the Most High. [91] Their reward is this: first they shall exult to see the glory of God who will receive them as his own, {see Luke 15:20-24}and then they shall enter [92] into rest in seven appointed stages of joy. Their first joy is their victory in the long fight against their inborn impulses to evil, which have failed to [93] lead them astray from life into death. Their second joy is to see the souls of the wicked wandering ceaselessly, and the punishment in store for [94] them. Their third joy is the good report given of them by their Maker, that throughout their life they kept the law with which they were entrusted. [95] Their fourth joy is to understand the rest which they are now to share in the storehouses, guarded by angels in deep silence, and the glory waiting for [96] them in the next age. Their fifth joy is the contrast between the corruptible world they have escaped and the future life that is to be their possession, between the cramped laborious life from which they have been set free and the spacious life which will soon be theirs to enjoy for ever and ever. [97] Their sixth joy will be the revelation that they are to shine like stars, never [98] to fade or die, with faces radiant as the sun. Their seventh joy, the greatest joy of all, will be the confident and exultant assurance which will be theirs, free from all fear and shame, as they press forward to see face to face the One whom they served in their lifetime, and from whom they are now to receive their reward in glory. [99] 'The joys I have been declaring are the appointed destiny for the souls of the just; [100] Then I asked: 'When souls are separated from their bodies, will they be] be given the opportunity to see what you have described to me?' 'They will be allowed seven days,' he replied; 'for seven days they will be permitted to see the things I have told you, and after that they will join the other souls in their abodes.'

II Baruch 50 1 And He answered and said unto me: 'Hear, Baruch, this word, And write in the remembrance of thy heart all that thou shalt learn. 2 For the earth shall then assuredly restore the dead, [Which it now receives, in order to preserve them]. It shall make no change in their form, But as it has received, so shall it restore them, And as I delivered them unto it, so also shall it raise them. 3 For then it will be necessary to show to the living that the dead have come to life again, and that 4 those who had departed have returned (again). And it shall come to pass, when they have severally recognized those whom they now know, then judgement shall grow strong, and those things which before were spoken of shall come.

II Baruch 51:3 Also (as for) the glory of those who have now been justified in My law, who have had understanding in their life, and who have planted in their heart the root of wisdom, then their splendour shall be glorified in changes, and the form of their face shall be turned into the light of their beauty, that they may be able to acquire and receive the world which does not die, which is then promised to 4 them. For over this above all shall those who come then lament, that they rejected My law, and stopped 5 their ears that they might not hear wisdom or receive understanding. When therefore they see those, over whom they are now exalted, (but) who shall then be exalted and glorified more than they, they shall respectively be transformed, the latter into the splendour of angels, and the former shall yet 6 more waste away in wonder at the visions and in the beholding of the forms. For they shall first behold and afterwards depart to be tormented. 7 But those who have been saved by their works. And to whom the law has been now a hope, And understanding an expectation, And wisdom a confidence, Shall wonders appear in their time. 8 For they shall behold the world which is now invisible to them, And they shall behold the time which is now hidden from them: 9 And time shall no longer age them. 10 For in the heights of that world shall they dwell, And they shall be made like unto the angels, And be made equal to the stars, And they shall be changed into every form they desire, From beauty into loveliness, And from light into the splendour of glory. 11 For there shall be spread before them the extents of Paradise, and there shall be shown to them the beauty of the majesty of the living creatures which are beneath the throne, and all the armies of the angels, who [are now held fast by My word, lest they should appear, and] are held fast by a 12 command, that they may stand in their places till their advent comes. Moreover, there shall then be 13 excellency in the righteous surpassing that in the angels. For the first shall receive the last, those whom they were expecting, and the last those of whom they used to hear that they had passed away. 14 For they have been delivered from this world of tribulation, And laid down the burden of anguish.

Luke 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him

Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Isaiah 65:15 And ye (tares) shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: 16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. 17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

Isaiah 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. 22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Psalm 65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Isaiah 54:4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

Forgetting about this life and our part in it

God has promised to make us forget the evil travails we are involved in while in this life.  He ends our enslavement to demonic prisoners when He calls each child from the flesh by his true spirit name.  They immediately rise up to Heaven to stand before Him.  How long will we remember our earthly identity before He erases our memory of our part in this life?

From what I know about our world, every human being has a complement of evil spirits who work to bend his will and manage his works in sin.  Those devils that manage human thoughts by generating evil ideas are called a “crown of thorns”.  These wage warfare against our good angels who struggle to lead us in good paths. Evil thoughts and evil memories are generated and managed by these evil spirits.  They are the wicked conscience that torments us by reminding us of sinful acts they made us do in our past.  These accuse men before God and the Holy Angels of the sins they made men do.  God does not accuse His children of sin nor does He remind them of earthly sins they might have been involved in.  As long as men abide in the flesh, their “crown of thorns” are fully engaged in reminding men of “their sin”.  Removing men from the flesh strips away the crown of thorns, and the wicked mind generating evil remembrances is eliminated.  REAPING MEN from the earth causes men to forget past-life troubles because the “crown of thorns” (tares) is left behind.

Men do not have very good long time memory. I cannot remember very much about my life when I was 4 or 5 years old.  My short term memory is pretty good and I can remember things I did yesterday.  When God takes us upstairs, we do retain some short-term memory, but our long term memory will be gone.  From the scriptures presented God will give us seven days to observe their new surroundings  and to compare it with the prison house below from which He has delivered them.  From above they look down and see devils as they are clutching onto men like parasites as well as how they manipulate and enslave their brethren still in the flesh.  They are then able to make correct judgments about who is the source and enforcer on sin.  They stop blaming humans for sinful works forced upon them by their slave-master devils.  Total blame is placed upon devils where it belongs.  This is how they ATONE as a Kingdom of Priests.

In glory no one looks like a human being.  All redeemed the spirits are transformed into their mature angelic glory.  Our earthly names are no longer mentioned and only the name God gave us at the beginning is used by each child. After viewing where we came from for 7 days, the children are assigned to their duties as guardians, teachers, and leaders for men in other places and nations on earth where they did not reside.  Our short term memory fades away quite rapidly thereafter,  and the redeemed spirits forget that they ever lived as a human in Satan’s prison on earth.  You have seen what happens to men with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.  They are physically alive, but the events around them might as well be in another world.  This is what happens when God shuts off His conscious awareness that He shares with each man.  After seven days in glory, He erases the memory of our involvement with life on earth.  In glory all living spirits have photographic memories like our Father. And after this earth is destroyed and our enemies are erased by fire, Father will cause us all to forget that our traumatic episode with devils ever happened.  By so doing our minds and thoughts are completely RENEWED as promised, “Behold I will make ALL THINGS NEW”.  “Former troubles are forgotten and never again come to mind”.  No more tormenting thoughts and memories vexing us for sins we were involved in will ever revisit us again!

Glorify God,

God did it!
