The corn. 1 kings 19:11. a still small voice. God, is not in the elements of the work, but in the mind of the spirit of God, that you become in this new time, and these days, of the wise and foolish virgins, that is within you.

[Oneffunes]

The corn. Matthew 26:41, “ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: ( let not thy last hand know what thy first hand doeth, through resistance, causing the first to become last ) the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”( when the last becomes first relevant to the fire of satan, and I become mentally weak! Relevant to mood control brought on by the fire of satan in the flesh, by means of the human condition, I become strong! In the mind of my conscious spirit, this causes the fire now within the last to become reflected within The first, this is the fire, infolding itself in Ezekiel 1:4 when the last becomes first and the first last )

Why does the kingdom rep what is does not own?

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Matthew 26:41 the corn. Allow me to give you a perfect understanding.

Watch ( with the willingness to do wise virgins, for demon spirits, evoke the waters that issue out toward the east country ) and pray, ( to God, because unto now in this new time, in these days, of the wise and foolish virgins, that’s all the Christians could do because they had no real revelation to stop demon spirits. James 4:7 needs the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth, to pull that off successfully, if you could what would be the value of grace? And the need for The Spirit Of Truth ) that ye ( Christians only ) enter ( in your mind, and not of the mind of the spirit of God, as a wise virgin, until now ) not into ( the waters that issue out toward the east country ) temptation ( the weakness of the waters evoke from demon spirits ) the spirit ( the mind of the spirit of God ) indeed ( looking forward to the spiritual work that is also mental ) is willing, ( willingness is counted to the wise virgins, as righteousness. It is not the spiritual work that the Holy Spirit, judges you by, it’s the willingness in the mind of the spirit of God, to do the work, so look forward in doing the work when waiting on the opportunity to do the work ) but the flesh ( because of the spiritual effects of the pull of the water ) is weak. ( because of the nature of the spiritual human condition, is against the mind of the spirit of God )
