Remember God's Precedents

 The Holy One calls to me this morning.  Man's ingenuity is amazing and enables us to communicate with each other in real time.  Word travels around the globe at amazing speed and we know what is going on within seconds of a major event. 

Not only do we get to share the best of what is going on in each other's lives, we also can share the struggles we face and trials that come along with the journey here on planet earth.  It seems that trials bigger than our personal ability to control them are being shared and in that I find countless opportunities to pray without ceasing.  I cherish these opportunities provided not to feel the pain they represent but to come to know the Great I AM as I cry out for Him to intervene in our sorrows. 

The Holy One speaks to one such prayer need: "Remember My precedents".   

Not too long ago, the Lord started weaving me into His word, after He had spent most of my life weaving His word into me.  I began to see myself and my family's struggles on each and every page.  It is as if His word was written just for me. 

I learned that our God is the God of "precedents".  By that I realize all the amazing stories in the Old Testament; of His power and Presence in the lives of the ancients speak of what we can ask for and expect Him to do today.  These are the things He has already done and are written for us as a model of what He will do again. 

In the Old Testament, God:

Healed the sick: 2 Kings 20

Raised the dead: I Kings 17

Provided children from a barren womb: I Samuel 1

Ended slavery: Exodus 14

Brought His people to a land flowing with milk and honey (good provisions)     Deuteronomy 6

Arranged for the rescue of kidnapped children: I Samuel 30

Traveled as a Presence with His people: Exodus 33

Protected His people from vicious curses and witch crafted oppression: Numbers 23

The list goes on and on.  Then we see in the New Testament as recorded in the Gospels, where Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, built upon those precedents and even more, set up the model of resurrection life after death.  As He departed for His rightful place of honor, He gave us permission and privilege to ask, seek and knock for what our world needs so that in the answers provided, God the Father will be glorified.

Trials are designed to bring us to the end of ourselves.  Trials are designed to draw us to the One who Sovereignly controls all things and even our next breath.  Trials are designed to test our faith in God and His word.  Trials are designed to stretch our patience, strengthen our endurance and challenge our relationship of love, loyalty and trust in the One who died in our place.  In all our trials we can be sure that He is preparing us for an eternity in His Presence, and that the trials are a necessary part of that preparation.

So, the question is: What are we facing today that is so different than the situations we can read about that the Lord has already provided with His answers to human suffering?

Habakkuk was a prophet of old who saw the problems vexing his world and in his day.  Conditions were not unlike the ones we are facing in ours.   As I look around, see the needs and remember the precedents of His past actions, The Holy One takes me to his prayer and I make it my own:

"Lord, I have heard of Your fame.

I stand in awe of your deeds, Oh Lord.

Renew them in our day

In our time, make them known" Habakkuk 3

I find that remembering God's precedents provides hope for the trials that come in each new day.

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him? 

ANGELIC ENCOUNTER

What a way to end my day: Sitting along the side of a busy freeway during “rush hour”. Even the weather was working against me as the mist became droplets of rain from out of the dark threatening clouds of an autumn storm.

The delivery deadline for an order of imprinted T-shirts going to one of my customers was cascading down to the wire and here I sit with a flat tire. As I began to assess my crisis, I shot up a “flare” prayer with thanksgiving that the “blow-out” in my right front tire in the 3rd land of a 4 lane freeway didn’t cause a major accident for me or anyone else. That was a miracle in and of itself.

Over the years of my life and journey with Jesus, I have seen and experienced many miracles of God’s Divine Hand of intervention, so I acknowledge when His hand moves, whether to protect or provide or comfort me in my daily experiences. Today, I am thankful for the safety that brought my vehicle to rest on the side of the road.

“No problem”, I thought to myself. “Even as a middle-aged woman, I can still change my own tire”. The Lord is my constant companion, so my thoughts and petitions always flow to Him as the circumstances unfold.

My thoughts became quiet words, “Lord, you know my fear of being a woman alone on the side of the road, with all the crazies in the world today. It’s getting dark and starting to rain but I ask you to make me invisible and have no car stop to help. We can do this together. I don’t need anyone but You.”

With my protective shields up, I went about the task of locating the spare tire, jack, tire wrench and all that I would need to change the tire. All the equipment was found, so I proceeded with the personal confidence that I could do what was necessary. “I am woman, after all”.

I put the wrench to the lug nuts and tried to twist them off. Over and over trying each one, but none would yield to my strength or my determination. Then the stark reality hit. These lug nuts must have been put on with a machine at the factory because I couldn’t get them to budge off the tire rim.

I prayed again, this time a little more specifically. “Lord, I need more strength. Please give me more physical strength. I need these lug nuts removed.”

Suddenly, a man walked up from behind me. I turned to see who could be on the side of the freeway in this remote place with no vehicle in sight. The man looked a little scruffy, but he spoke kindly to me, “You look like you could use some help.”

I found my voice amid the confusion of trying to “figure” him out. “Yes, I could use some help. I can’t seem to get these lug nuts off. I’m not strong enough”.

The stranger instructed me to go to the driver’s seat and keep my foot on the brake. I did as I was told and, in a few minutes, when I saw him stand up at the side of the vehicle, I rejoined him by the tire that was flat..

He said to me, “do you think you can take it from here?” I told him I could, and I thanked him for his help. I looked at the lug nuts sitting in the hubcap and back to the place where he had been standing and he was gone.

He just disappeared. That was weird, but then the lug nuts were removed just like I asked in my prayer petition. I was exhilarated by what just happened and now I could finish the job of changing the tire and be on my way, with yet another personal experience and testimony of my Lord’s gracious attention to my needs.

As I sat there for a moment pondering the situation, I found myself shaking my head at the humorous reality of it all. I asked for the lug nuts to be removed and that is exactly what I got. “Why”, I asked myself, “did I not ask the man for help changing the tire?”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the lesson the Holy One was teaching me in this experience. How many times have my prayers been incomplete? How many times has the Lord been so willing to send help for the task at hand, but pride or ignorance or even fear got in the way? I could only take a deep breath and sigh for this classic example of half the need expressed even as the answer itself was complete.

I could only speak of my regrets to the One who sent help in response to my cry.

I looked at the lug nuts again and rejoiced at the answer to what I had asked my Lord to do, while confessing the sheer stupidity of not asking for all I needed.

We had a good laugh together and I tucked this lesson into my heart. Talking to myself, “I daresay I won’t make that mistake again, but if only I had asked for the complete need to be met and the tire changed. I could be back on the road already. Now I have to finish the job”…blah…blah…blah.

Suddenly, another, different man walked up behind me. I turned again to see who was on the side of the freeway in this remote place with no car in sight. He looked a little scruffy but spoke kindly to me THE EXACT SAME WORDS, as the first stranger had spoken, “you look like you could use some help”.

This time, without hesitation I conveyed my complete need. “Yes, I could use some help changing this tire.”

This other “stranger” looked at the lug nuts in the hub cap and said, “At least you got the lug nuts off”.

I related to him how the “other” man had come to my aid and removed them for me. Then he asked, “Don’t you think it strange that he would remove the lug nuts but not change the tire?” By then the whole insane situation became quite clear and his question provided the opportunity to put it into words. I replied, “Not really, when you consider how I prayed for help. That was all I asked for!”

The man just smiled.

He quickly and efficiently finished changing the tire. I asked him if I could give him some money or a ride somewhere, since it was starting to rain harder and I saw that he had no vehicle. He replied, “No thanks, I am just going to go sit under that tree over there”, and he pointed to a big tree on the down slope side of the freeway. This time I watched as the man walked away. Sure enough he took his place under the tree.

Nothing the Lord does surprises me anymore. It always brings up a deep sense of His Presence. The supernatural unexplainable ways He deals with me just sets my heart to praise Him. Who knows, maybe someone else will be coming along the road needing this “angel’s” help.

As I got back onto the freeway, I could picture my Lord smiling, the lesson having been learned. And it only took me two tries to get it.

The questions continue to vex my “need to know” mentality. So who were these two men I met up with on the side of the freeway that day? Were they just two homeless humans sent by the Lord to the exact co-ordinates on my life map with a heart to help a woman in distress?

Were they supernatural beings who took on the body of flesh for a moment in eternity to aid and assist a child of their Master?

Whoever they were in “reality”, they were the ones I needed to learn a little more of the deep mysterious ways of the One who died for me over 2000 years ago, Jesus, the Christ.

The Lord has told me in His Word that He will never leave me nor forsake me. Does He really care about all the details in my life? This mysterious encounter with beings sent at His command to help me when I needed a hand in the situation I was facing are yet more convincing evidence that He does.

I need to humbly confess that I am no one special. What the Lord does for me, He will do for any and all who call upon Him for help. Does He always send visible angels? No! Does He always do things the way I expect? Not even close! But can I always trust Him to be here with me? Absolutely! 

These are some of the days that make life with the Creator the most exciting and interesting life we can live this side of Heaven.

The Holy Spirit is calling. Can you hear Him? 

The Battle is Too Great for You!

 All the little pieces of random trials and pictures are now in focus.  We have been transplanted to be in the place of the Lord's Kingdom battle against foreign gods and depraved ideologies.  Even as the Lord has said, "I'll take it from here", meaning the battle for our nation that we fought for the four years 2020-2024, is now totally His battle.  

He has told me that it's too big for me and I am to stand down and watch Him bring His victory to our nation and re-set us back on our constitutional foundation of law and order.  Hallelujah!  

I am thankful that years of invested prayer and intercession for our nation and future set the stage for this understanding of His control and Sovereignty.  We prayed and petitioned for His will and now He is performing His will.    

I have listened to a roundtable of people on the front lines of the places where anarchy is being allowed to act in our nation bringing terror and treachery to our citizens.  This includes the administration and journalists and those from TPUSA .

Interesting that this administration is committed to bringing law and order, justice and penalty to the perpetrators of this agenda.  What I learned is the reason Yahweh said, "the battle is too big for you.  I'll take it from here!"

The situation is like a roach infestation and cannot be eradicated without the "Exterminator" taking them out.  We have been infested with this vile army of rebels and suffered under their violent agenda and vile ideology for years on our home turf.  Not just the Islamists but also the anarchists, insurrectionists, and seditious traitors of our nation.  Abba has founded this nation for His purpose to represent Biblical values and the blessings that follow are from Him. Others who oppose Him and our Kingdom and our King want the blessings intended for His people and are willing to take them by any means and are willing to destroy the nation that holds them.

I am well aware that my privilege and duty is to WORSHIP MY GOD AND KING who is performing His Word and to continue to seek His Face and align with what He tells me that He is about to do.          

Since understanding His stand-down order was given, not because I am spiritually weak or unwilling to do battle, but because this threat is widespread and entrenched and a product of evil human free will choices, fear of personal failure has been eliminated.  It takes a mighty move of His Sovereign intervention to arrange circumstances to expose and eradicate that which has festered in the darkness over decades and, in reality over the history of man's days upon the earth.   Such power and authority is not mine but His. 

As the time of His coming draws near, the line in the sand between right and wrong, good and evil, is getting murky and deception harder to discern.  Only the Presence of the Holy Spirit provides the Truth from our Creator.   While there are many "influencers" in this fallen world, there is only one True and Sovereign God and only through His Son Jesus (Yeshua) and His Indwelling Holy Spirit can we come to know Him as our Father in Heaven.  

The Holy Spirit is calling.   Can you hear Him?  

Chaotic Sovereignty: Brace for Impact

It seems that we need to buckle up for a very busy week of actions and changes in our nation.  I am so in awe of all Yahweh is doing now that His Judgement has enter this realm. 

This is a wonderful picture of Yahweh's Sovereignty over our Nation. He has said, "My judgement will not be postponed."  He has asked us to stand in the gap between His fury and the land, and we volunteered.  He has given us strategies and powerful proclamations as well as petitions for His intervention that He is answering and enforcing in "color-by-technicolor" as they used to say.

He has given downloads and revelation knowledge as to how He operates and precedents from Israel's history to confirm His ways of dealing with the nations.  

We are the blessed recipients of His wisdom and empowered to influence our culture for the Kingdom of Heaven and our King Jesus. With all the chaos in this season of our nation and life, I am reminded each day that Yahweh is still in control, and He has a plan and purpose for all we see unfolding.

I can see that we are in a time of "Collision of Kingdoms" and we need to "brace for impact".  The Kingdom of darkness has been invading our lives and nation to change our Biblically based culture and governing principles. When Yeshua came the first time, it was a declaration of war against the fallen Elohim, the rebels who brought satanic opposition against our Creator and against us as His immortal imagers.  

Fallen celestial beings fermented a rebellion and have taught some of humanity how to do the same.  These demonically inspired terrorists have gained entrance and even access to positions of power and control in order to destroy this nation and our way of life.

The return of Jesus will not be to die again, because that was His first act of love for His Beloved men and women.  When He returns, He will arrive in power and authority to take vengeance on His and our enemies here on earth.  

As much as we hate to see what is being exposed, without such exposure, nothing will change and the wicked will still continue to rob kill and destroy through waste, fraud, and abuse. 

As a principle of our Creator, never forget He is a Just Sovereign and operates according to the structure of law and order.  No one is able to "storm the gated of Heaven", demand entrance or require that the blessings of His Kingdom be given on demand.

Many will be turned away at the gates.  Sadly, for some because entitlement is not a thing to be demanded in God’s economy.  If not for the Sacrificial death of Jesus, we would all be turned away at the gate. 

Remember this and pray the shock of deportations serve as a symbolic reminder of the necessity of becoming a citizen in the forever Kingdom that awaits those who trust in the Blood of the Lamb.  Jesus who paid for our sin and grants us access to His eternal kingdom, waits for us to come rightfully, placing our trust in Him and being ever thankful for the price He paid to have us enabled to spend eternity with Him! 

Pray for divine encounters with Jesus for those who do not yet know Him! 

Today is the day of Salvation! We each have that opportunity today, so don’t let it pass and think that someday when death comes close, we can storm the gates of Heaven or sneak in unnoticed. That’s not how our Sovereign Creator works. He is patiently waiting for each one of us here on earth to seek Him. And desire to be part of His Kingdom.

With all of that said, choose this day whom you will serve.  The kingdom battle rages and a side must be chosen.

The Never-Ending-Story

 I confess, I am a “serial journal-er”.  I have journaled my walk with the Lord for years and years. We, as followers of Jesus, are caught up in an epic "Never-ending-story" that is leading us to an eternal future of endless delight.  

Lately, I am pressed to share what I have come to call “Downloads” from My Heavenly Counselor: The Holy Spirit.  When our relationship with our Creator God is restored, we have unlimited access to His love, and all the goodness of our Heavenly Father that He brings via His indwelling Holy Spirit.    

These downloads from Heaven, come as I study His Word, and in the form of dreams, visions, a Word or words, the recalling of Biblical Precedents revealing how God has acted in the past and reliance on Sound Doctrine with current applications or just a random banner in the sky that needs more investigation.  Each is a unique way that the Lord captures my attention and compels me to go deeper to understand the Mystery of Who He is and How He works with His children.

What are the “end Times”? And how will these “end of days” flesh out here on earth?  This question is on most of our minds, and opinions are quite varied from person to person and even vary from Christian to Christian. Since life on this side of the veil, will influence what we will discover on the other side of the veil, it is important to spend time in thoughtful contemplation of what The Bible says about the end of days, and really really important to spend time in thoughtful contemplation in the Presence of the One who wrote it.

The book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ is mysterious and coded to get past the scrutiny of Rome when John, the Beloved Disciple of Yeshua wrote it while on the penal Island of Patmos.  His audience was the early church and comprised mostly of who we have come to call “Messianic Jews”.  This describes the Jewish followers of their true Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.  They were Torah observant Jews who departed from their traditions of men and followed the One they called Rabbi, and the Son of David, spoken of in their sacred scrolls.  

The Bible is the progressive (recorded) revelation of Yahweh Elohim to His chosen people:  The Children of Israel.  When we undertake the challenge to study the Word of God, we must never forget that God revealed Himself to a man, (Abraham) and then to a nation (Israel).  We must not fail to interpret the sacred Scripture with that culture and in context of Jewish life and traditions in mind, realizing the Son of God, Jesus the Christ, came to us wrapped in Jewish flesh.  

Today, after His crucifixion and resurrection, as followers of Jesus, we are blessed with the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit who provides understanding and application of these ancient principles in our modern world and culture.  

Back in the beginning, in the garden of Eden there was but one rule:  Do not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  All other trees are permissible for eating to your fill.  However, follow your own will and pleasures and you will surely die. 

Obviously, Adam and Eve did not die instantly, so we must look beyond the definition of immediate physical "death".  As we unlock some of the Mysteries of Holiness, the reason has become clear:  the death humanity experienced is not only the death of our flesh, in and of itself, devastating for our immortality, but without a plan of atonement, (forgiveness, as in a pardon of our rebellious sin nature), it is also the relational death of our love bond with our Creator.  This love relationship is the key to our eternal life and immortality as we were created in His image and are to be His immortal image bearers. In other words, we are in original design, created to live forever with Him.   

Choosing to rebel, is to serve our own free will desires, even to our detriment.  When Adam sinned, all humanity suffered going forward.  Sadly, at the fall, all people born of Adam's seed inherited a "sin nature".  Nothing we can do changes the nature we were born with. 

When Yeshua went to the cross to die for the "sin" of humanity (which is nothing less nor nothing more than rebellion of God's ruling authority in our lives), the penalty was paid in full.  

So, what does that mean?  And how does that impact our lives?  In a very merciful Divine intervention, the penalty of death for sin, was paid by the Only One who carried in His flesh veins, God's Holy Blood, NOT the sinful blood of Adam's seed.  Jesus, the Son of God, became the sacrificial Lamb, as a substitute offered in our place.  In a supernatural way, we have the opportunity to exchange our sin nature for His Holy one.  

This fact represents the Simple Gospel truth:  For God so loved the world (of humanity) that He gave His one and only Son (unto death) that whosoever believes (trusts) in Him (His identity as Savior having died in our place) will not perish but have eternal life.         

To have any relationship with Holiness, we must be Holy.  This is why Jesus came and by shedding His Holy Blood once for all, provided the opportunity to exchange our sin nature for His Holy Nature and become a child of God. This is a supernatural offering that is a mystery to our finite minds.  Yahweh is HOLY and cannot abide with unholiness.  This is why we must exchange our unholy "sin nature" with the Holy Nature of our Savior Jesus.  To be in right relationship with our Creator God, this exchange is mandatory. 

God's plan from the very beginning was to live or "dwell" with His people.  He created a garden in which to live with Adam and Eve.  Having rebelled His authority, the pair was evicted from His Presence, and all humanity thereafter suffered the penalty.  All humanity from the seed of Adam, is born with the sin "gene" and unable to be in relational unity with our Holy Creator God.

That "nature" exchange is an offering for a free will decision that we make and one that God will honor.  We get to choose whether to align with God's offering of a pardon in the life and death of Jesus or take our chances at the Great White Throne Judgement at the end of our days on earth.   As we accept that our sinful nature separates us from the Love of God, and as we repent (turn away) from that sin nature and we personally, by free will decision, accept that Jesus, by His death in His flesh body, paid the price for our freedom, and offered for us to have His Holy nature, we are then considered by God to be saved from any penalty or judgment made enforceable due to our sin nature.    

For any who repent for the sin of independence and rebellion and surrender to Yahweh's ruling authority, and Jesus's Sacrifice in our place, the debt is forgiven and we return to our relationship that was broken and destroyed at the "fall".  

Jesus came to tell us of God's love and His desire to have our broken relationship with Him restored.  But more than simply tell of God's love and speak of the need for a restoration we cannot have, Jesus came to atone for what we can never earn or have restored in our own best effort. 

The price of this rebellion is death. Final and permanent.  Ultimate eternal separation from the Author of Life and all that is Good.  The blessing for humanity is in the fact that the complete wrath of God was poured out on Jesus on the cross of Calvary and those who trust in what Jesus died to provide through His death on the cross will never experience that Holy Wrath.  

Understanding the Never-Ending-Story from the beginning, enables us to grasp and even reverence the last chapter here on this earth, when Judgement will be poured out on all who refuse to be reconciled with God the Father through the sacrificial death of His Son, Jesus.   

Are you ready for the "end of days" as revealed in and though the last Book of the Bible:  The Revelation of Jesus the Christ? 

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?   

Backward Teaching

From out of the archives of my life and memories comes this little gem of dayz gone by:

Backward Teaching 

The Holy One calls to me this morning.  My life is full of energy brought by a group of little people known as "grandchildren".  It is one thing to have them visit once in a while and another to wake up to their delightful presence each morning.  Circumstances have opened this great opportunity to share life with them.

Today the Holy One speaks about the importance of raising our children in the admonition of the Lord.  It is a huge undertaking and responsibility especially with the world and all its seduction calling us into the web of carnal fast living and spiritual apathy.

As I consider the religious teaching of my own life years ago, I hear Him say, "Focus on teaching about relationship first".  

I was raised up under the generation that taught "hell fire and damnation" and the "wrath of a Holy God".   I often marvel at the sweet relationship I now have with the Lord and wonder about all that "inspired" fear I was presented with as a child.

I know that respect is born out of fear but there is a distinction between good and bad fear, and wonder if we don't get the two confused in our rearing of our children.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son".  "But if you cross Him and disobey His rules He will send you to hell in a "heartbeat."  What a confusing message that comes out of our attempts to raise our children to "do what is right".

Many parents choose to throw away the threat and promote grace, and others use the threat and fail to teach forgiveness.  The Holy One today, stresses the importance of teaching relationship that the Lord longs for with His beloved people no matter what the age.  

As I look around at families in crisis within the Body of Christ, it is sad that the divorce rate is as high within the Church as outside in the world.  What that tells me is that many are missing the entire point that Christianity is about relationship and not rules.

If Jesus said, "They will know you are My disciples by your love for one another" (John 13:35), then many have never understood what it means to be a follower of Christ.  Jesus was not referring to just the 12 when He made that statement but rather to all who would come to know Him as Lord over the course of history and time. 

We set about to teach the rules of engagement He taught us when He came in the flesh, but when our lusts and desires drive us to "break" the rules we fall back on grace and the liberty to get what we want despite what the Word of Holiness has to say on the matter.

We break our vows, trash our covenants, then worship as if that covers a multitude of our sins and we even re-define our sins and call them weaknesses or failures or little pet names that make the obvious violations of Holiness somehow acceptable. 

The problem with our Christian lives boils down to a problem with our Christ relationship.  We promote the rules but forsake the rule Giver, and in that we miss the entire point of the rules all together. 

Our relationship with Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit is the only power we have over our flesh, its drives, its demands, its depravity.  The extent to which we falter in our flesh is an expose of our real relationship with Jesus.

If we promote the rules without first learning about loving the rule Giver, we will fail in our obedience to the "rules". Jesus said, "If you love Me, you will obey My commands".  There is a Sacred Romance to be enjoyed with the Lord Himself.   At every age there is a precious and priceless lesson to be taught and learned about that Sacred Romance with the King. 

Our children learn through Disney stories all about the concept of living happily ever after.  They get a picture of "the beauty and the beast" and the sacrifice of love.  They understand the "damsel" in distress, the 'knight" in shining armor, the "dragon" and the "rescue".   But do they really grasp that these are a picture of God's love, the intrigue of His kingdom, His invasion into our struggles and His rescue of our hearts?

If these are just pictures of human love and relationship, life quickly despoils the dream.  The truth is that these are all elements of the Sacred Romance the Lord wants with each one of us.

I know the King is coming.

I know His kingdom awaits us.

I know He has prepared a place for me.

I know I will live with Him for all eternity.

I know the King and His name is Jesus.

The Sacred Romance comes first, then the rules make sense. It's a backward teaching that promotes the rules before sharing the delight of a relationship.  And where teaching our children is concerned, we cannot share what we do not have.

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?

The Spirit is Calling. Can you hear Him?

As we enter this new year 2026, realizing it may be the year the Lord comes to rescue His Bride, I am filled with the need to be in the greatest intimacy with the Holy Spirit.  His Presence is what brings peace to anything we may encounter in this sacred time before Yeshua comes, and we are supernaturally uplifted to join Him in the air according to His Word in 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18.

1Th 4:17

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord

1Th 4:18

Therefore comfort one another with these words.  

For those who have a hard time believing in the "supernatural" and may doubt the validity of these words, Jesus, when He walked the earth, came to show us the Father and in His love brought the Kingdom of Heaven here complete with "supernatural" signs of His deity.  Why would we expect anything less from Him today?  If this scripture has been given, it will be fulfilled in HIS time. 

As we wait for that glorious event and experience, and as we have trusted Him: The One God sent to save us from the penalty we all would suffer (eternal death) to bring us into His eternal Kingdom of life as it was intended before the fall, we have been given the Gift of His Holy Spirit as a seal and promise of that life to come. 

I recently found a very special worship song from the 1970's that speaks to an intimacy that the Lord wants us to have with Him and what drew me into the Sacred Romance I have with Him today. The Link below will take you to that song and here are the lyrics that drew me.

The Spirit is calling.   Can you hear Him?

Come Away

Song by

Maranatha! Music

Don't you be in such a hurry

Cause it only leads to worry

There's a time to work

But there's a time to pray

Try to find a quiet place

To hear His voice and seek His face

Can you hear the Spirit calling, Come away.

Come away, come away

Come and spend some time with Me,

Come away

Let your heart and mind be stilled

Let your empty cup be filled

Come and spend some time with Me,

Come away.

Are you sinking in your sorrow?

Are you worried about tomorrow?

Are the pressures of this life too hard to bear

If you cast your cares on Him

He'll give a perfect peace within

Can you hear the Spirit calling, Come away.

Hear Him say, Come away

Come and spend some time with Me

And my love will set You free

Come and spend some time with Me,

Come away.
