Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces the east. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.
It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw- like the vision I saw when I came to destroy the city. The vision which I saw at the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.
And the glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate which faces towards the east.
The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple. Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me. And He said to me, Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy Name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with their carcasses of their kings on their high places, ( Ezekiel 43:1-7).
What was seen, is and is to be known or seen.
What if we already entered into those pearly gates that is so often heard in songs when we leave our flesh suit and enter into heaven’s realm? The reference is regarding our death of the mortal body….. but…….. what if we live in the Truth of God’s written Word…..-…We have died and have entered in to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of God???? If we have died in Christ, and we live in Him and unto all righteousness….. We are from and live in the heavenly realm now by the Spirit of God.
If we are the bride now and we are the army now, then we are also the city of God, the heavenly Jerusalem, that came out of the heavens written in the Book of Revelation. This also confirms the words spoken by Paul in Galatians 4:22, For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic.
For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar- for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem, which now is, and is in bondage with her children- but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Those gates which we enter to Mount Zion, Jerusalem, as written, are we not partakers now? Are we not partakers of the heavenly calling today? – Are we not there now in His Spirit? So where the Lord is we have joined Him. We are not in complete measure but to come we will always be growing in greater measure.
What is known and yet to further manifest before us regarding our inheritance and place in Christ Jesus is as real as the green grass on our lawns out in our yard. The more we strive to enter in and apprehend all that our God has apprehended us with His Love, we will be known as we are known in like measure….. There is more to apprehend in Christ Jesus, right?
Remember the allegory that was presented through Ezekiel, written in chapter 47, as he was instructed by an angel to walk through the river flowing from the temple door on the right side to the east? As Ezekiel walked through the river at first came up to his ankles, then progressed to his waist. Then another measure he passed through he could only swim in the abundance…….
Now in the Old Testament, one could not enter the temple unless they were clean by the gazillion rules and regulations established…. They also had to be circumcised……. No foreigner could enter. In God’s Truth and Reality, we are all unclean not one of those gazillion rules would ever make us clean nor all the slain bulls, calves, lambs or goats……….. even doves. Until Jesus…..
As states in John 10:7, Then Jesus said to them again, Most assuredly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep.
I AM the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture,( John 10:9).
We are all unclean but by the blood of the Lamb of God, we can enter into the relationship with God. We enter in to the spiritual realm or heaven the day we believe and receive His Spirit…….- …… and He enters into to us by His Spirit in the temple of our body…..First in small measure then we progress in His ways and knowledge of God which is eternal life…..Our mind is renewed to the likeness of Christ Jesus. Our Spirit man is growing in the revelation knowledge of our God because we have been blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, according to Paul written in Ephesians. The power of His resurrection life is growing steadily in like measure according to the truth we walk out from what we apprehend by His Spirit.
If you want to cross a chasm and the only way apparent to do that is a huge rope before you…… What do you do? Well, we would grab hold of that rope and put all our weight to fling us across to the other side…… The faith is knowing there is more to obtain in God across this chasm…… The Word of God is the rope…. to bring us there. The fullness of God is in Christ Jesus and we are in Him…… So let us obtain all we can in Him, where we live and breath and have our being as a born again child- growing into sons and daughters of the One True Living God.
And so it is written, The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Now I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption, ( 1Corinthians 15:45-50).
So as we grow in understanding to the will of God for this age, we must take these scriptures to know we live truly now by the Spirit of God and not by our flesh or our natural eyes. We have entered in the Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of God has entered us……. today! We will realize the same measure when we leave the mortal for the immortal. What we have gained in Christ when we leave this flesh behind will be exactly how we are known by the King today or the day we vacate the fleshly body…..We must be clothed with the Garments of heaven, His Spirit……. If we know the Lord today in a great measure of our lives, if we were to leave earth today…. Then that same same measure we will be known by Him……We may see more of Him in the spiritual realm but His view of us is the same between our last breath here and the awakening of us in the spiritual realm.
So let us swim in the abundance of the river of life the pours forth for us so as to flow out of us. We have entered into the Temple of God by the blood of the Lamb and the river that pours forth freely in and through us from His side is His life immortal.
We are given His Holy Spirit, the River of Life, flowing freely from His side into us as much the same way God took the rib of Adam to create Eve as Adam’s wife….. We are created or born again in the Spirit by God from the Son of the Living God, by His blood and water.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you will also appear with Him in glory, ( Colossians 3:3-4).
When our spiritual eyes have seen the King of glory, our vision becomes heavenly focused as well as our focus and understanding of the world is from heaven. We can easily then bring heaven’s rule in prayer to this world….. for as the Lord instructed us, as it is in heaven , Your will, oh God, be done on this earth. Your name is known and is exalted among Your creation this day as all creation has cried out in the past, and will always in the future and in this day….. Our Great God who is worthy of all our praise !
We live according and abide in the great revelations of Jesus Christ that were manifested before Paul by the Spirit of God for the whole counsel of God to be fulfilled for His praise and purpose in Christ’s body. We walk before His presence and live from His presence to the growing measure of the fullness of God which is found in Christ Jesus of in whom we are complete.
Know this, if Christ is our goal and Christ is the Center and the Supreme of our lives,…… we have all the victory against Satan. Where we live in Christ and have died, we have ascended to the heavenly life in Christ Jesus….. Where we seek the world and live in the world, we have lateral or even some dissension to the overcoming victory we have been freely given in Christ…..
I guest it comes down what Door we choose to walk through and stay and set up our roots……. Door #1- Christ Jesus- the King of all Kings, who has given us all things which never can be exhausted that pertain to godliness and life eternal joy or door #2, which smells good from the outside and it is covered with a glitter and gold as you walk in and through the door has turned in to dross and chains that bind you to death eternal……
In one Door, we die in love for a Love that we have never seen or experienced before in our lives until now. In door # 2, we want to live by the sight of our eyes, and end up dying a slow death of never having enough- greed. We are lulled by the deceit of our hearts to death eternal….. and we do never receive the fullness of our hearts desire because we choose by our eyes and our heart and not our conscience.
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life- is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour, ( 1 John 2:15-18).
Remember : This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.
If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him, He will also deny us.
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself, ( 2Timothy 2:11-13).
We can have our hearts deceive us by doing God’s will and work and still want the recognition and name and fame of people but it is justified because it is for God……. When we come to the realization we have died to our selves and are really only living and alive to Christ. Only then will His fruit be manifested to His glory and pleasure. There is no room for two bosses or CEO’s or Commander in Chief or two kings of one body……
The experiences we are brought into by the Living Spirit of God is to prove our death and resurrected life in Christ Jesus…… All humanity is dead spiritually and pride deceives us that we are alive…… Only by the blood of Jesus Christ and the saving knowledge received into our hearts and minds of the Savior of the world can we be born anew and resurrect in Him.
We are One with God in fellowship from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for we know we abide in Him……. We cannot go but any other way but follow His footsteps to our cross……. Religion has a lapse of memory here——The death is spoken of but we have risen with our Mighty Warrior also! We rise in His resurrection Life and power by His Spirit says the Lord! Remember He is the Beginning and the End…… Our all is found in Him.
We have already entered into the heavenly Door or Gate. We are in the heavenlies today…. Our faith says our lives are found in Christ Jesus who is seated at the right hand of the Almighty. As it is in heaven shall be and is our life on this earth today…… As it is in heaven, may the Lord’s will be accomplished by our faith in His word and purpose with in and then out ward….today and forever. His pleasure and joy seeing His redeemed following His ways before His sight as He is in our midst today. Let us give Him pleasure.
We are His and His love forever……. as it is in heaven, Lord, spark Your love in us towards You in greater measure so You are our forever Love….. Our first Love be everyday….
As He knows our thoughts, let us please Him : Not what are we going to get out of this but……I know and realize Lord -You delight in us and You will bring us into ……… victory to overcomer….. Not I Lord, but You…..
In Your grace, You have called me.
In Your Goodness, You have wooed me.
In Your faithfulness, You have kept me.
In Your mercy, You have forgiven me.
In Your greatness, You have plans for me.
In Your majesty, You have protected me.
I gladly lay all down for the Prize You have given me in You.
Selah!
Children,
Do not be deceived there is only One Holy I AM! I AM ! I AM here for you today. My ever watching eye is upon you. What are your eyes gazing upon? What you desire is what you gaze upon and are enticed to either glory or shame.
Do not be deceived I AM will not be mocked for what ever a man sows that also shall he reap. Your days are all known and mapped before I AM.
Just as the Son of Man sows the Word of God into a heart. I AM knows the harvest of My Words, whether the field will produce a great harvest for My kingdom or fall into the fire.
Many hear the sounds and words of My people and go their ways as in the days of old. They declare what a melody, the sound of those whose words I AM puts in their mouths, but they walk away into their own path and heed not the Voice of Wisdom.
As spoken by the wise, many hear the word of God but not many do the words of My heart…….Do not forget who begot you and who has numbered your days and gives you the breath that you breathe.
Many voices are sounding out to lead you into their paths. Alas, there are only two roads- one leads to destruction and the other, though it is narrow, leads to life abundant and joy overflowing. My work is complete for you. My shed blood has covered your sins and iniquities, yea, even your unbelief. Yah, why do you want to end your days in death when you may have the shadow of death lifted and life eternal may reside in you, for I AM there…… Come to Me…… Do not forsake My mercy.
Will it not be better for you if I AM comes to you as a Friend and not as a foe? As I AM has spoken, you will not know when I AM comes, the time to you will be like a thief in the night, when you are sure of all around you is forever, alas, the truth will be shining as the noon day sun upon the days you have spent and what fruit or thorns they have produced.
I AM is found at the Door of Wisdom for all to come. Sit and get refreshed in My gentle breeze of life eternal. Do not turn away and allow pride to win you to death eternal. Do not doubt My Love which has never failed you, you have failed in your hearing and acting in wisdom for the days ahead are trembling to burst out of the womb of the morning where the sun is red. Do you know the last day of your breath? Did you plan your arrival into this world? Why do you reason within yourself that you may know your end of days?
I AM the Ancient of Days. I AM always…… Come to Me while the sun is bright in the afternoon heat and before it sets upon this earth. You do not know, yea, I AM. Know I AM and you will know and live eternal life abundant today.
Be wise. Hear and do My Word…. Come to Me, My children, for you do not know what the morrow holds…… Come to Me and rest in My peace….Allow I AM to abide in you as you rest and partake of the tree of life. Be Mine for I AM always yours. I AM here and waiting with My arms still outstretched for you today, yea, even while it is today.
SELAH!
