The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. (1 Corinthians 15:46 NIV) The formation of natural diamond requires very specific conditions—exposure of carbon-bearing materials to high pressure, ranging approximately between 45 and 60 kilobars (4.5 and 6 GPa), but at a comparatively low temperature range between approximately 900 and 1,300 °C (1,652 and 2,372 °F). These conditions are met in two places on Earth; in the lithospheric mantle below relatively stable continental plates, and at the site of a meteorite strike. Formation in cratons DETAILS IN EVERY ASPECT, PHASE OF LIFE MATTER.THEY BECOME OUR VERY OWN FACETSIN LIFE. a surface cut on a fragment of rock by the action of water, windblown sand, etc. Jesus showed us that we to can become a facet of the most holy GOD as we to should bear without resistance,and with patience; that we may tolerate the ways of the fallen world. Our lord JESUS CHRIST last days on earth had been filled with pressure,insults,bullying,false accusations,court trials, and a sever beating that surpassed that of anyone at that time in history,and a death sentence. Opening Prayer : THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS ACT OF CONTRITION O my God, my Redeemer, behold me here at Thy feet. From the bottom of my heart I am sorry for all my sins, because by them I have offended Thee, Who art infinitely good. I will die rather than offend thee again. 1: First Station: Jesus is condemned to death. Mark 15: 1-15 2: Second Station: Jesus Carries his cross. John 19: 13-17 3: Third Station: Jesus falls the first time. Isaiah 53: 4-7; John 1: 29 4: Fourth Station: Jesus meets his mother. Luke 2: 25-40; Lamentations 1: 12 John 19: 26-27 5: Fifth Station: Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry his cross. Mark 15: 21; Mark 8: 34; 2 Timothy 2:3 6: Sixth Station: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. Isaiah 53: 2-3; Matthew 25: 40 7: Seventh Station: Jesus falls the second time. Psalm 38: 6-22; Isaiah 63: 9 8: Eighth Station: Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem. Luke 23: 27-31; Matthew7: 21 9: Ninth Station: Jesus falls a third time. Psalm 37: 23-24;Hebrews 4: 15-16 10: Tenth Station: Jesus clothes are taken away. John 19: 23-24; Psalm 22: 16-18 11: Eleventh Station: Jesus is nailed to the cross. Luke 23: 33-43; John 19: 1 12: Twelfth Station: Jesus dies on the cross. John 19: 28-37; Matthew 27: 50 13: Thirteenth Station: The body of Jesus is taken down from the cross. John 19:38-40; Psalm 22: 14-15 14: Fourteenth Station: Jesus is laid in the tomb. Mark 15: 46-47; Matthew 27: 57-61 It was this form of pressure in the natural realm that produced a facet of GODS beautiful image. The prophet Isaiah said, See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who were appalled at him — his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness— so he will sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand. (Isaiah 52:13-15 NIV) What was produced ? A FACET OF ALL NATURAL BRILLIANCE. THE HOLY SPIRIT HE IS THE FACET OF GOD it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. (1 Corinthians 15:44 NIV) The conditions for diamond formation to happen in the lithospheric mantle occur at considerable depth corresponding to the requirements of temperature and pressure. These depths are estimated between 140 and 190 kilometers (87 and 120 mi) though occasionally diamonds have crystallized at depths about 300 kilometers (190 mi).The rate at which temperature changes with increasing depth into the Earth varies greatly in different parts of the Earth. In particular, under oceanic plates the temperature rises more quickly with depth, beyond the range required for diamond formation at the depth required. The correct combination of temperature and pressure is only found in the thick, ancient, and stable parts of continental plates where regions of lithosphere known as cratons exist. Long residence in the cratonic lithosphere allows diamond crystals to grow larger. LOST AND FOUND MINISTRY SINCERELY, LARRY MARTINEZ
