    Heb.10.5 "Substance"

    "but a body hast thou prepared me."

    The body is the substance to which all my parts entered in the book continually gravitate to: "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."(Ps.139.16) This is a continuous action so in the day of Judgment,'Thy book is called the book of the Lamb. Either you are in it or you are blotted out of it. In other words Jesus as the true Light 'which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.' Thus children of light shall be known as part of the Light of the Lamb and as promised by the risen Christ shall have a new name. This is outside our will but what we become transformed by abiding in Christ. This is how the day Seven blesses a 'true' believer: he entered into the rest of God and stayed therein. So what is the substance of a believer or rather his volume and his works?

    In seven days of the Covenant the Law of the Spirit has promised both blessings from heaven and from earth alike. The Holy Spirit has given a clear instruction in the manner Jacob acquired great abundance in the house of Laban. Jacob himself testified to it. That is only one part. In his body he could work with what the Lord revealed to him. That is heavenly blessing.

    Gen.31.8-13)" Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me." Same way God made the Egyptians pay the backwages to the Israelites. God compensated Jacob who was exploited by Laban "Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight."(31.41-42)

    There is no holdiay from holiness of God. You cannot serve God and mammon. Faith is the substance of things hoped for " No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."(Lk.9.62

    " A body hast thou prepared for Me" In the garden of Eden it is written that " The voice of thecLord God walked in the cool of the evening"

    Q: How does a ' voice' walk?

    I don't know ,but then what is a " voice" ? If not a Word without a body .

    The Voice of the Lord God had a body prepared for Him . A body to suffer in . He now has a preparing a body to be glorified in .

    The Church which is His body the fullness of Him that filleth.."

    We have now in Christ a redeemed body " yet to be revealed" which will be a glorified body even like unto His .

    God saves the soul ,redeems the body and renews the mind .

    A person outside of Christ their body perishes .

    There is also the body of truth which is the Scriptures and the Spirit of Truth which is the Holy Spirit .

    And the eternal resting place of the Holy Spirit is the Word of God .

    How does a ' voice' walk?

    Invisible God lets his voice heard. In Ps.29 refers,' He makes the hinds calve' so these calves are the proof. Rom 10.17-18 Faith comes by hearing, hearing the word of God. Also something to meditate upon: Voice has been heard and understood so man and his creation has no excuse. (Rom.1.19-20)
