v 14-16 Veil of Flesh


2 Corinthians 3:14-16 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.  But even to this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.  Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

They never see the Scripture.  They only see the veil of their own flesh.  This is the problem with theologies.  They become our captors.  They keep us in bondage so that we can't see what the Scripture says.  We need to be led by the Holy Spirit as we read the Scripture.

The flesh is that part of your being that is still under the influence of Satan and the worldly influences, including false teachings, the winds of doctrine.  The flesh is that part of the soul, mind, heart that is still in bondage to the body.  Paul tells us that we are waiting for the redemption of our bodies.  We have been redeemed in part.  Our spirits have been redeemed and joined to God's Spirit, and we sit with Him in the spiritual realm.  Part of our minds, hearts, souls, have been transfigured through the obedience that is by grace through faith.  And, in this part of our being that we call "our ministry" we are resting from our own works.  We now just yield to the Holy Spirit and allow the love of God to be shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.  We allow God's free gift of righteousness to work the works of God through us as we yield the members of our bodies to Him.  That causes a progressive dying to the flesh and transfiguration of our mind into the mind of Christ.
