On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out his heart will flow rivers of living water, ( John 7:37-38).
And they found written in the Law, which the Lord had commanded by Moses that the children of Israel should dwell in booths, ( temporary shelters), during the feast of the seventh month, and that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, Go out to the mountain, and bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.
Then the people went out and brought them, and made themselves booths, each one on the roof of his house, or in their courtyards or the courts of the house of God, and in the open square of the Water Gate and in the open square of the Gate of Ephraim.
So the whole assembly of those who had returned from captivity made booths and sat the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great gladness.
Also day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God. And they kept the Feast seven days; and on the eighth day there was a sacred assembly, according to the prescribed manner, ( Nehemiah 8:14-18).
Now the Jews Feast of Tabernacles was at hand, ( John 7:2).
When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place, ( Acts 2:1).
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of the mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you the hope of glory, Him we preach warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily, ( Colossians 1:25-29).
The Gift of God which keeps on giving….. Jesus Christ, in whom is found all the fulfillment of the law and the prophets as well as the feasts of God…… We are to celebrate Him daily. Hey , it is like having Christmas everyday, celebrating the Gift of God, which the riches are unsearchable and yet, very filling…… Yet, beloved, we always want more of Him…… It is like a Door opened a crack. We get to smell the aroma, we get to see the wild and beautiful colors only a little at a time….. Just as much as that crack is opened- yet we want more and more….. Just like looking through a crack of the door on Christmas Eve of all the beautiful colors of the lighted tree and all the beautiful presents underneath….. We want to bop open that door and get the full picture…..
Well, experiencing Holy Spirit widens our vision of our Lord and to understand Him in all wisdom, righteousness and sanctification. We feast on His beauty…. God in man…… Our Hero!!. He has gone before us now, beloved, to make a way for us. Shall we stay and watch or grab our jacket and head out to follow.
Yes, the last feast is celebrated everyday….. How do we celebrate our Lord daily? By opening up our Gift by faith…. We ask for the fullness of His sacrifice to be made manifest within us as well as His fullness of His Spirit dwelling within….. The cross makes room for greater measure of His Spirit to be within…… His glory and ours.
Why do we want more? I do not know how to describe having a taste of Perfect Love but He is irresistible! He is God- and we want all of Him – after all, He is the Desire of the Nations. Guess what, beloved, He wants all of us too! This is the mission of Holy Spirit…as Paul wrote in Colossians 1: 28- we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
God has given us all we need in His Son and His Spirit to walk before Him blameless. Now it is not on our own accord that we can be blameless. but by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and all He has accomplished by the cross as well the work of fire by His Spirit…… This is the desire of God for it is written in Genesis 17:1, When Abram was ninety- nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I AM Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.
We say what? How can any of us complete God’s will and be blameless ? Well, we couldn’t but Jesus Christ did. He died and we died. He rose and we rose ……… In Him, not on our own accord but through Christ Jesus, we are found righteous and blameless. As written in Galatians 2:20, I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Deuteronomy 18:13, You shall be blameless before the Lord, your God.
You think this may be important to God? I think we must take heed to Holy Spirit as He reminds of the Lord saying, be holy for I AM holy……..
James 1:4, But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
James 1:5-8,If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double minded man, unstable in all his ways.
If we would learn to discipline ourselves to see as our God views the Finished work of HIS SON. I believe our doublemindedness would be dead like our old man( carnal nature) by faith, and we would have the peace that passes all understanding. We would see as our God sees with the view of the mind of Christ. We would rest in what was accomplished rendering our lives in the flesh dead and inoperative to sin. We would know and understand that the WORD OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST fulfilled all that has been written about Him- up until He returns again……
It is about us, but the work is not about us…… Just our faith to rend all things are possible because we believe in what our Lord did going before us and being with us this day until the end of the age…… He is with us and He went to settle the debt we could never repay…… His love has covered all of our sins by His mighty blood….. Let us render all things dead that were before and live unto Him by faith with all our heart and mind this day.
The days are short, beloved……. The work of the Spirit is accomplishing what we cannot do….. Turning us into the image of the Son of God…. We have awakened into His righteousness and we are found blameless in His sight. How? All of Him and none of us…. We are becoming and will be the image of the person God has called us to before the foundation of the world was formed…..
Yes, just as the Spirit hovered over the chaos and darkness and God called: Light be….. The same God and the same Word being fulfilled….. Light be is with in us and all chaos and darkness in our soul is disappearing as the Son of God’s territory is gaining His ground within and of course, with out.
By faith, we are healed. By faith, we died with and in Him. By faith, we rose and live by Him and for Him. By faith, we are going faith to faith, strength to strength, glory to glory. By faith, His will is accomplished in us by His mighty workmanship. By faith, we offer our bodies as a living sacrifice unto God. By faith, we are complete in Him who is head of all principality and power. By faith, we are His bride. By faith, His work will be accomplished in us and through us unto the glory of God. By faith, we are now His because His Spirit abides in us.
We cannot please the Father, the Son or Holy Spirit without faith….. Our faith in the perfect love of God that He has for us calls us blameless and perfect before Him now and at the end of our days or this age…… Beloved, it is not about us completing the work. However, it is about us not dropping our faith and hope into the despair bucket or disappointment fund or the overwhelmed puddle.
This walk and life in the Spirit is to perfect within us the vision of the God we love and serve. We must have faith to walk out in the dark with His eyes in the Spirit. What we see in this world or what is around is temporal, very temporal- if the events of the last fifty days have proven……. What is here today may be gone tomorrow, even ourselves…… The life in God, in His Spirit is reality. This is where we are from and where we belong- eternal……and where we live…… if we have eyes to see by faith and believe.
As the life in Jesus Christ is more real to us than what we see in this world, we win. As the life in Christ Jesus is more real to us than what ever we would hear through our ears, we may stand strong on His Word knowing fulfillment is inevitable…. We rest in His love and His faithfulness.
As written in Hebrews 12:27, Now this, Yet once more, indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of the things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken can remain, ( Hebrews 12:27).
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, ( John 1:14).
When we are found before Him, we also in His image are found full of His grace and truth…… A tabernacle for the King….. Yes, we celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles from now until eternity ends- which is never!!!!…..We get to live with our God in Him and before Him for all of eternity.
If we love the look of the Christmas tree and the lights and colors….. Wait, we have not seen anything yet.
Yes, beloved, may we resemble the living creature before the throne of God…… The four faces of the Gospel, the mind of Christ, full of words of knowledge and wisdom revealing the Son of God. The fire of Holy Spirit burning within and starting fires wherever we go as signs, miracles and wonders…… Our orders from heaven for the works that we complete by His fire—winged hands. We walk and work as the servants of the Living God- hooved soles. As written in Ezekiel 1:20, Wherever the Spirit wanted to go, they went; because there the Spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the Spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
Yes, the life we live we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us…… It is about Him and His work…. We are found blameless as the works are His and for His glory…….We are the vessel He uses…… How can the house be holy or not holy in itself? Are bricks and concrete holy? Is our flesh in which no good thing dwell be holy? The house is not holy but He who dwells in it makes it holy.
The Uncreated One dwells within man and makes us holy…… As written, who can dwell with a consuming fire? Bless the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can now…… His blood cleansed us and is cleansing us and His Spirit is writing His laws and statues on our hearts and minds…… We are His living creatures now, beloved. Let us rejoice and celebrate.
The vision of the King: For see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh shall glory in His presence.
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God,- and righteousness and sanctification and redemption- that, as it is written, He who glories, let him glory in the Lord, ( 1 Corinthians 1:26-31).
It is wisdom and grace from God to exalt Him and not to despise His name. We are grateful for His relentless pursuit of His love towards us…… One year ago, 10/7/16, A hurricane named Matthew came through United States. Matthew means a gift from God……. Nate came through United States on 10/7/17. Exactly one year later, hurricane Nate came storming in…….. The name Nate, ( Nathaniel), means a gift of God. Hey, you think there is a message or a sign of warning from our God. the Creator of the Universe?
It is not wisdom but foolishness to turn our backs on the True Gift of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Foolish is the man or woman or child who does not turn to drink from the clear flowing Water of the Lord…
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who thirsts come, Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely, ( Revelation 22:17).
By faith, let us live and walk in and by His Spirit freely…… living by the reality of His gifts that speak and show us all things that pertain to Truth and godliness……. Remember, chaos, Light be, then darkness……. Chaos, Light be….. then complacency……chaos, Light be for true rest – no matter the chaos, it is contained- as the Light remains forever.
It is written in Zechariah 14:6-9, 16-17, It shall come to pass in that day that there will be no light; the lights, ( glorious ones), will diminish. It shall be one day which known to the Lord- neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen that it will be light. And in that day it shall be that living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; in both summer and winter it shall occur. And the Lord shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be- The Lord is One and His name is One.
And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which come against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that which ever of the families of the earth that do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no rain.
Who is this King of glory? He is the Lord, strong and mighty in battle… Open up our gates of our heart and let the King of glory enter in….. Then, beloved, we enter into His courts with praise and thanksgiving with living waters flowing from our belly because we crown the Lord, our King of all kings and Lord of all lords- our God. He died so we died- as He rose so we may rise in Him and live in Him and by Him so the world may come and worship Him this day.
The beauty of our King is way beyond the beauty we behold on the Christmas morn when we awake to the lit tree…… way beyond our hope and imagination, beloved. Come let us enter in to His chambers and partake and sup with our King- for His feast has been prepared before the foundation of the world so we may come today, yes, this day….. You coming?
Selah!!

Come drink of the water of life freely. Do you know, O man, when the offer of the Day of Salvation of mankind will end? Will you tarry on your stubbornness?

Unless you come to I AM, you will never recieve My gracious word toward you…… I beckon you, come to I AM today.
Do you know what tomorrow holds? Is there a day where it is the same as before? Is a there a way to keep time from moving on into the unknown waters? Where is your refuge? Where is your safety net? Where is your life preserver? Where is your God? Can you put in a bottle your future days? Can you know there is a tomorrow? Can you know your God? Seize the day, children. I AM knows, but alas, you do not. I AM has given you the grace to turn to Me. I AM has given you grace to trust and hold on to I AM….. I AM brings you through the fires and the waters….. and allows you to see the King in all His beauty….. The Door is wide open…. Come in and find your rest.
As in My creation, My delight has been in the sons of men……. I AM beckons you to come and delight in I AM. Come let us celebrate the feast I AM has prepared for you before time began. Come to Me>Know I AM and My love for you. Your seat at My Table is waiting for you!
