Tria, was glad to hear from you today everyone is lifting you up in prayer and they all wish you a Happy Birthday! Was praying prayers for all the family and then I read the devotional for June 8th, which relates to the vision the Holy Spirit showed me, about a week ago which I shared with you, when He spoke "Set Free" as I saw a Dove and then He showed me "A Shinning Vessel of Water", that was actually shinning water shaped like a vessel.
SET FREE: The power of My Love is so great that it has made you My slave. You think of a slave as a terrible thing to be, and in this world, it is. But to be a slave to Me is a wonderful thing; it actually sets you free. You are not your own. You were bought at a price - the price of My precious blood. The more you love Me, the more you will want to serve Me. This service can fill you with heavenly Joy as you give yourself to Me more and more. Because I am perfect in every way, you can trust yourself to me completely and never fear that I will use you or take advantage of you. Becoming a slave to Me is what makes you truly free - free from worry, free form fear, free from sin. I have invaded your heart and your soul, and My Spirit is taking over more and more of you. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. I want you to show My Glory, shining it into the lives of those around you. I am changing you to be more and more like Me. Be happy because you are free in Me. Joyfully offer your life to Me and My love! Jesus Always!

1 Corinthians 6:19 -20 Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary. (Or “the in-you Holy Spirit.”; “temple”, “sanctuary”). See Eph. 2:19-22; 1 Peter 2:4-5. You were God’s expensive purchase, paid for with tears of blood, so by all means, then, use your body (The Aramaic adds “in your spirit”) to bring glory to God!
2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom. [Paul is teaching us that not every time the word Lord appears does it mean Jesus Christ. Here we see that “the Lord” refers to the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is ruling, speaking, convincing us of truth, there is freedom. Jesus calls the Holy Spirit the Lord of the harvest who prepares the workers and the harvest fields, sending them out into specific places for the reaping of souls. See Matt. 9:38.]
We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. [Or “We all, with unveiled faces, behold the glory of the Lord as in a mirror.”] We are being transfigured [The Greek verb metamorphoō is the same word used for Jesus’ being transfigured on the mountain (Matt. 17:2; Mark 9:2) and for our transfiguration through the renewing of the thoughts of our minds (Rom. 12:2).] into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. [The source of our transformation comes from Christ’s glory, and the destination we are brought to is more glory. The transforming glory is the result of gazing upon the beauty and splendor of Jesus Christ.] And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Notice the ten aspects of New Testament ministry given by Paul: (1) It is based on the triumph of Christ over every power of darkness (2:14). (2) It diffuses the fragrant aroma of Christ everywhere (2:15-16). (3) It refuses to water down the Word of God (2:17). (4) It produces living letters of Christ (3:3). (5) It is not based on the clever abilities of men but God’s empowering presence (3:6). (6) It imparts life (3:6). (7) It flows from the Holy Spirit (3:8, 17-18). (8) It imparts righteousness (3:9). (9) It contains a greater glory than the law (3:10-11). (10) It brings the transfiguration of believers into greater levels of glory (3:18).
