Good Morning Precious and Dearly Loved Saint and Child of
Our Abba Father!
“How priceless is your unfailing Love! Both high and low among men find refuge in
the shadow of your wings. They feast on
the abundance of your house; you give them drink from River of Delights. For with you is the Fountain of Life; in your
Light we see Light.” Psalms 36: 7-9.
Many of us have been drinking from the wrong rivers. We have drunk from the river of fear, doubt,
weakness, lack, sickness, disease, infirmities, poverty, woundedness,
hopelessness, despair, weariness…….
While it is true that we have all been wounded, some of us, very severely,
but have to stop drinking of the river of darkness based on our experiences of
the past. At salvation, we became new
creations where the old is gone and the new has come! We need to stop drinking of the “old” and
start to drink exclusively from the “new”!
God will not force
us to drink of this new wine of the Holy Spirit, this Fountain of “Zoe” Life, the
River of Delights, but, we can drink as much as we want. There are no limits on how much we can
drink. The supply in this River of
Delights, Joy, Peace, Love, supernatural power and strength is endless and
infinite! We need to learn to drink of
this River of Delights and abundance on this earthly realm even if life on the
earth is in extreme drought mode!!!
This is the huge key.
Learning to drink
from this River of Delights, the Fountain of abounding Life even in the midst
of darkness and suffering on the earth!
Jesus is our example. “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our Faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the Cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from
sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:2-3.
Jesus had His
heart set on the heavenly realm, being in the perfect Joy of the Father and
being with you and me, as He is, for eternity!
Jesus knew that nothing on the earth could change the reality of
heaven! Heaven is unchangeable from the
earth! There is not a recession in
heaven or one drop of darkness, nor will there ever be!!! Regardless of what is happening in the earthly
realm, the heavenly realities never change! “In His Presence is the fullness of Joy and
Pleasures forevermore at His right hand.” Psalms 16:11. This will never change!
Heaven is full of glory,
full of abounding love, grace…… this will never change! The Fountain Of Life will always be a River
of Delights! This will never
change! No matter what happens to you,
even if you were one of the unfortunate ones who lost all earthly possessions and
loved ones in those horrific tornadoes recently, the reality of our ability to
feast on the abundance of the house of the Lord and drink from the River of His
Delights never changed! Nothing on the
earth can change heaven!
Heaven is the manifestation
and substance of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! People are always being confused that what is
happening on the earth is always God doing or not doing something. The earth is not Heaven. In heaven God is 100% completely sovereign. On the earth, there is an enemy here who is
enraged at the saints, making war against us, trying to steal, kill, destroy
and devour everyone of us! God gave us
free will on the earth, so He is not sovereign over individuals in a sense that
He controls us or all the events around us!
The earthly realm is
not heaven! There are two separate and
distinct realms! It is the Father’s Will
that heaven is manifested on the earth, and it is to some degree, but the
earthly realm will never be heaven because of the presence of the enemy. But no
matter how bad the darkness and evil may attack us, the Truth still stands that
we are seated in the heaven realms in Christ Jesus, as perfect as He is, in the
Spirit! We are new creations In Christ,
perfected and glorious as He is, and nothing from the earth can change that!
“No, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels
nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from
the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39.
SHALOM!
