And 
no man 
hath ascended up to Heaven, 

but HE+ 
that came down from Heaven, 

even the SON+ of Man

which IS in Heaven ! 

Words of JESUS
before HE+ was crucified
and Resurrected, 

as recorded in John 3:13


Now that

HE+ 

ascended, 

what is it 

but that 

HE+

also descended 

first 

into 

the lower parts 

of the earth ?

HE+ 

that descended 

is the same also that ascended 

up far 

above all Heavens, 

that 

HE+ 

might fill all things. 

Ephesians 4: 9, 10

... Go to MY+ Brethren and say unto them,  

I+ ascend unto MY+ FATHER 

and your FATHER   

and to MY+ GOD 

and your GOD. 

John 20: 17b

...What and 

if ye shall see 

the SON+ of Man 

ascend up where 

HE+ 

was before ?

John 6:62

My Brethren, 

You watch all things temporal but you need to watch things in Heavenly places. Times are changing. Soon, life will not continue on as it has been. Times are changing.  Take heed, lest your heart be over-charged with surfeiting and entanglements of your temporal existence. It will be gone in an instant. 

You do not need new "THINGS;" rather, you need an intense focus upon ME+.

In the days coming, I+ AM the only ONE+ Who+ will be able to keep you safe.

Discard the frivolous, the superficial, the external.... all those things which distract you from ME+. Burn them or give them away. Only you, My+ Brethren, can draw close to ME+. It is not given to those outside of ME+ to be able to draw close to Our FATHER WHO art in HEAVEN. 

Draw close to ME+... close to ME+... to ME+.  

Whoever Breaks the KING'S + SEAL....

... dies !

.

Whosoever breaks the seal of the authority

of the KING

dies,

regardless of who it is

that breaks it.

.

Why else would King Darius fast and pray

ALL NIGHT LONG

when he was tricked into throwing Daniel into the lion's den?

.

If King Darius of the Medes and Persians

could have broken through HIS OWN SEAL

to free Daniel

he would have.

.

Several Scriptures speak of seals --- sphragizO, in the Greek forms --- and sometimes it means "certified as TRUE or VALID." This is seen in John 3:33 when John the Baptist bears witness unto CHRIST The LORD. Listen to the simple Greek verse when John said , " The one receiving HIS+ testimony has sealed that GOD true is."

.

But other Scriptures indicate that "seal" means SEALED UP with the KING'S + stamp of authority: In WHOM+ ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation: in WHOM+ also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that HOLY SPIRIT of promise," ... Ephesians 1:13

.

And grieve not the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of liberation [KJV: redemption]. Ephesians 4:30

.

In Revelation, we see the Angel of GOD setting "a seal upon the slaves of GOD on their foreheads" in order to keep them safe from harm during the judgments of GOD. Rev. 7th and 9th chapters.

.

Then we see in Revelation 20 that there is a seal set upon satan, that he should deceive the nations no more UNTIL the seal is allowed to be broken after 1000 years and satan is set free for a short season.

.

SO.

.

Are you sealed unto GOD,

through the HOLY SPIRIT of Promise,

marked by the Blood of the LAMB+

in the True Covenant of GOD ?

.

.

Woe, woe , woe

My+ children,

if you break that seal I+ have put upon you

and walk away from ME+.

.

There is nothing more I+ can do

once My+ Seal is broken.

.

Woe, woe, woe

to him who breaks

the seal of protection

and stamp of authenticity

that I+ have placed upon him.

.

Death comes to everyone

who breaks My+ Seal...

even if it is broken

by the believer's own hand.

.

CHOOSE LIFE+.

.

+ + +

.

.

In the Name of The FATHER,

HIS BELOVED SON+ JESUS CHRIST,

and the Blessed HOLY SPIRIT.

.

ONE GOD, forever and ever,

world without end.

Amen

LENTEN MEDITATION 38 ~ ~ ~ REAL GRIEF

LENTEN MEDITATION 38 ~ ~ ~ Do We Cause The LORD Grief?


And grieve not the Holy Spirit of GOD,
whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30

As a rule, we Christians who are serious followers of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, do not practice those grievous sins listed both before and after this verse.

However, there are other ways we can grieve HIM+ and His+ HOLY SPIRIT. Do we lag behind when HE+ shows us what to do? Do we put off dealing with certain habits which are not necessarily sinful... yet those habits still are not really sowing to the Holy Spirit? Do we turn a deaf ear when HE+ gently calls us to prayer, to slow down, to get still before HIM+ ?

Do we who-ought-to-know-Our-LORD-better ignore His+ calling to do certain things, hoarding our time, our energy, and our effort for more temporal duties? Don't we know yet that HE+ will provide our every need for time... for energy... and for strength for whatsoever HE+ calls us to do?

What are we hoarding our time from... Is it a daily quiet time? Is it a hidden time of intercessory prayer for people who do not know us and wouldn't care for us if they did? Is it a preferance to be active, to produce something visible, that makes us expend our energies in those arenas, instead of sitting still before The LORD for a time?

Do we hoard our time and limited energy to spend it on socializing ... instead of meditation time on and with The LORD? Do we hoard our time and energy, keeping it away from the LORD, so we can get our housework done... our children fed.... our public jobs taken care of ? Yes, all these things are GOOD DUTIES to perform, but are they ever too much with us?

David Bercot, of Scroll Publishing and the Society of the GOOD SHEPHERD, once printed a story about a poor family who had a pig, a sow. During prayer, the man of the home promised The LORD to give HIM+ one of the litter of piglets, should the sow produce a litter. In due season, the sow produced a fine litter of piglets, 7 in all. But soon afterwards, one of the little piglets died. The man became distraught. His wife asked him what was wrong. He said, " A terrible thing has happened. The LORD'S pig died!"

Yes, when we must cut out something, or cut back somewhere, we will likely cut out time, money, effort , or energy from The LORD'S program or kingdom. We will get our sleep. We will get our food and gasoline. We will be certain to get to our job on time... but we seldom serve The LORD with such rigor.

More's the pity, this condition called being human. Why can't we serve The LORD with as much vigor, as much endurance, as much singleness of eye as we serve our employer? The LORD is certainly more to be trusted... more to be honored... and more worthy of faithfulness.

Yes, let us STOP PUTTING EVERYTHING ELSE BEFORE The LORD. Our jobs will get done, our houses cleaned, our children fed if we make the sacrifice to put HIM+ before all these necessary responsibilities.

If we so will to do this, HE+ will provide the time, energy, effort and money... and then, ---bless His+ dear, dear heart--- HE+ will credit it to our account!

Gracious Heavenly FATHER,

I come to THEE saddened by all the times I have grieved Thy Spirit. I am sorry for causing THEE sorrow. I am sorry for the times I have disappointed THEE and that THOU hast been made to labor with my stubbornness.

I do love THE, O LORD. Help me to point my face toward THEE and move into Thy will, knowing THOU wilt provide the wherewithal needed to accomplish it. I’m sorry for the times I have hidden myself from THEE and wouldn’t make the effort to do what I knew was Thy will… in prayer, in intercession, in quietude. I pray these things in the name of Thy Beloved SON JESUS CHRIST, Who+ delighted to do Thy will, O FATHER.

In the name of The FATHER, The SON, and the Blessed HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.

Amen
