St Paul is filled with the Light of the Resurrection. This is the unseen presence of the Holy Spirit that  each of us in every age can choose to recognise and by so doing call upon his help to strengthen the material, the  earthenware of our physical being, in our spiritual fight against sin.

Saul's completely human life had been brought to an abrupt halt on the "Road to Damascus". From that moment he became a man who never lost touch, even though completely in the world, with the  entirely not of this world living presence of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

Today Paul repeats Jesus' prayer at the Last Supper, even before John had recorded it in writing, directly for the first believing people of Corinth and for us all to share with each other in the unity that is the Love, that is IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT revealed.

We know that Paul lived in this world focused on the Truth that comes from God. Jesus is the Incarnation. God himself experiences " the treasure in jars of clay " that is human being and thus chooses to limit himself for 33 years in human time to overcome Sin not by Infinite Power but by Infinite Love.

I cannot fully understand but do "know", "believe and so I speak". 

God knows that sexual sins "adultery" are the most difficult for us to curtail for it is through sex that we can create the children for whom our ability to Love as "Image and likeness" becomes the most manifest.

Even in Jesus' time on earth human beings took steps to prevent the conception of babies and  killed the unwanted born. Modern biological technology has enabled us to completely separate sex from fertility and for the last two generations the quest for sexual pleasure has come to be the most dominant force in our world.

I do know, however, that it is not God's will for human beings to choose to live lives that prepare them to prove at the moment of their death that "Hell" is real and truly "The final outcome."

Help us Lord to overcome the power that we have to shape our own lifetime  failures even though you have already completed in the revelation of the Jesus and the Apostolic generation all that we ever need to know and do only your will during our lives on Earth. I always need more from you and am not alone in this. Help us by your grace!
