Isa 28:16 ASV A Tried Stone A Precious Corner Stone

 Isa 28:16 ASV - therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner -stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste.


1Cr 3:10 ASV - According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon. 1Cr 3:11 ASV - For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1Cr 3:12 ASV - But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Cr 3:13 ASV - each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is.


 Jesus said troubles would come and it has I believe last days trouble.  We are in the beginning of  that time now and the only way for some to be saved is to bring trials and hardships.  Look at the slaves of the 1800s today people call there songs Negro spirituals.  Yes they were and under so much torment and pain in that day the only thing they had was Jesus that is why they sang for deliverance !  just as Paul and Silas when they were locked in prison they sang unto the Lord for deliverance .      When God takes it all away and there is nothing left and nothing to hold on to but Jesus than they will sing too.  Now we are blessed on every side and we have an abundance of wealth we just cant see it .  I was reading in  Gen 1:27 ASV - And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  I see now what this is about the word Image is not the body or the flesh of man God had no body . Our bodies were created to be a vehicle to take us where we need to go and of course Adam was a super human at that moment .  Your body was made to compliment your soul that's it and we are to have dominion over our flesh always.  The flesh does not drive the soul its the other way around our spirit man is in charge and God is saving our souls . That was the curse God put on Adam the curse of sin and death , do you realize the tree of life was right next to the tree of knowledge. And God said you can eat from ANY tree here but the tree of knowledge.  They had the tree of life and it was allowed by God to eat from  , mans flesh took control of them and they wanted to know evil and good more than live for eternity. It says Eve saw that it was good and it would make her wise  .      1Jo 2:16 ASV - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  But God made us in his Image and what is the image of God .  It is his likeness who he is of his character and of his nature   all the authority of God     Isa 11:1 ASV - And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.
Isa 11:2 ASV - And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.              .  God is a spirit he has no body the only body he had was Jesus and it says the fullness of the God head dwells in Christ .   Rom 8:11 ASV - But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.   Jesus was the  express image of his father ,  the very likeness he had all the attributes of God . Now Paul calls this a mystery     Col 1:26 ASV - even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints,
Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:    Jesus said he came in his fathers name or his fathers Image .  Col 1:15 ASV - who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;  Of all creation from beginning of time to the end of all things.
Col 1:16 ASV - for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;  You must see it says for IN him were all things created the power and the very likeness of God was in Christ.  As to his flesh he said if you cannot believe me than believe the works that I do it is the father in me he doth the works.    2Cr 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.   Jesus said to Phillip have I been so long time with you and you do not know who I am you see me you are looking at the Father .   Jesus brought the word of God to us and spiritually speaking he was the word made flesh .   Eze 43:10 ASV - Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.    The house is his church every one that believes, we are the spiritual Israel the bride of Christ . You are the living church of God he has a plan for you and it is coming into view.     Being born again is being born of his spirit and Jesus had the spirit of his father and the promise is unto you also .   Jesus is the very pattern of Gods will for you.   When he said unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood his flesh is his word and his blood is his very nature the exact likeness of the father   Jhn 10:30 ASV - I and the Father are one.       Rom 11:25 ASV - For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;
Rom 11:26 ASV - and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 ASV - And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.
Jesus is the pattern to live by Death Burial and Resurrection . Phl 3:10 ASV - that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;
Col 1:17 ASV - and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.
Col 1:18 ASV - And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Jesus took the keys of hell and death , and has given them to his church .  That in all things he might have the preeminence  He was raised to life by his father therefore giving every one that believes in him resurrection life.        Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  This is where the curse of Adam was taken away ,we were born of Adams loins born of his sinful flesh of his will . But through Jesus we have the right to be born again born of God and into resurrection life . Born of his spirit and washed in his blood.   
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

Jhn 14:4 ASV - And whither I go, ye know the way.
Jhn 14:5 ASV - Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
Jhn 14:6 ASV - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.    Here is the answer to all man kind if they will obey ,  God created you to be his children to love him and obey him .  And the only way we can do that is by his grace and faith in his word.  Jesus said I am the only way unto the father , Jesus said he was the only truth of God the father, and lastly he said I am the only life of God . So we must see his life on this earth was the same life God has given to us to live .  It is called perfection in Christ he has shown us the way unto the father .   He died physically and now we die spiritually ,  his blood was the new covenant for us .  He was the second Adam and he did not fail he conquered hell and death and has given to you and every one that believes in him everlasting life .    
Eze 43:10 ASV - Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.  God is saying to the son of man show my true house to the house or church on earth  the true pattern by which you are to build your life or your house    Luk 14:28 ASV - For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it?
Luk 14:29 ASV - Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,
Luk 14:30 ASV - saying,   This man began to build, and  was not able to finish.
This is a parable of a man that sets out to become a child of God he is at first happy about the truth of Christ Jesus and goes about making a house for God ,       1Cr 6:19 ASV - Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;   Please keep in mind the parable of the sower of the seed in Luke 8:5-8
The word says so as you have received Christ Jesus so walk in him obeying this word and living this word.   It says the man has laid a foundation the beginning of his spiritual walk with Christ. 
But all of a sudden he has a problem in his walk ,the foundation is the most important it is the true Gospel that is the foundation and everything that comes after the foundation is the walk we have .
Jesus was the corner stone the stone the builders rejected , everything built has to have a starting point a survey point and after that the building is referenced off that same point, any thing in question is taken off that corner stone.   If your life is not built off of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
the apostles doctrine than it says when the storm comes and pushes against the house it will fall because it was not built of the firm foundation of Christ.  People start out on fire for God and than because they do not put the word or the seed of the sower into there hearts they are not a doer of the word ,  not just a hearer. Than they fall away,    the birds coming and taking the seed is demons they will steal your joy and take the word from you.  Cares of the world and persecution will come and take them away . But the last of the parable is the seed that falls into the good ground the honest heart and it brings forth fruit of Jesus even up to a hundred fold.    It says this man set out to build a tower now a tower is a place to run into when times of troubles come.
And Jesus is that tower to run into , that firm foundation . But he lost his desire for truth because his flesh took over and he fell away.    The word says that faith is the substance of your hope     not what we see with our eyes if you can see it or smell it touch it that is not faith . Faith is Psalm 91 and believe every word of that chapter .  So when a man sets out to apprehend this great salvation and he gets side tracked because of his lack of faith all those that knew him in the past laugh at him because he was not able to finish his house or tower.  Verse 29 says lest haply
This word Haply is where the word haphazard comes from     Characterized by lack of order or plan.   Even the foundation is not in order with the Gospel. The house he is building is not from the corner stone the starting point of salvation.    Remember Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man can come unto the father but by me.    This man began to build, and  was not able to finish.    1Jo 2:15 ASV - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jo 2:16 ASV - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1Jo 2:17 ASV - And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.


 2Cr 11:3 ASV - But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ.
