Going all in....
A full faith verse
Bible books are the oldest books, and one book among them is the oldest book among the oldest books in the Bible. In the book of Job, Job says of his troubles though He slay me yet will I hope in Him (Job 13:15). I call this one of my "no matter what" verses. This is one of those verses where I draw full faith, where I am all in. This is where energy comes from, emotion. Energy divided by motion equals emotion. Without emotion, without passion, there is no energy to translate the intellect into being. This is how, I believe, a thought becomes a thing.

Death for the body is
Life eternal for the spirit
Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
I always wondered why we should go on the cross, after all Jesus did that for us. It seemed a little presumptuous for us to do the same, since it was He who went on the cross for eternal life and forgiveness of our sins, not us.
However. for myself, this was never a stumbling block. I could go either way because for me, rejecting the body meant acceptance of the spirit. This is being glorified in the spirit, from my view, where in my precious circle I am the only one left in the body. On the other hand, it might be liberating to suffer in the body as embracing the spirit.

How God changes things....
God Himself does not change, but He can change things by speaking whatever it is into existence. This is what faith does for us providing we believe what we say. When Jesus said do you believe I can do this? She answered yes and then Jesus said therefore be it done to you according to your faith. Notice it was according to her faith in Jesus' faith. But she had to believe it. I was told by a pastor that, in his Sunday school class they decided that since only one of the two men they prayed for received healing, that therefore God changed His mind. First of all God does not change His mind, they stopped believing. It is we who changed our minds, not God. They stopped believing. If you believe you persist, and if you quit, then you did not persist, you gave up. They did not have enough faith apparently, I say apparently because God already has healed people when He sent His only Son to die on the cross. That was when the temple curtain between God and man was rent top to bottom. The people did not have to go through anyone to get to God anymore, they could go directly. Jesus was the last sacrifice.
