Wow! By God’s AWESOME grace our loved ones who have passed are not here with us, but exist in the Spirit in another realm, in a place filled with God’s GLORY, where time does not exist. Existence is measured by experience and experience is cloaked in God’s GLORY. Amen
This is said in effect in Matthew 17:1-5: “After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah. While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”
So often we measure occasion by the passage of ‘time.’ What then if time doesn’t exist? We will, and can then, measure occasions by the ‘experience.’ So many things are somewhat difficult to understand. But in His presence, there is no “passing of time.” There is constant existence in God’s glory! Once again, imagine Moses, not aged one bit, but in a permanence of existence. Once again “time” does NOT, exist.
“Let us go into the presence of The LORD and worship…” ‘Time there… ‘Time’ we are there does not exist.
As discussed, currently there is a warring between spiritual forces. We discussed when Daniel prayed. Before he prayed the answer was there, here on Earth it took ‘time’ for the answer to be experienced, but as he asked, it ‘was’ given.
This reminds me of a Steve Harvey video about faith https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DDb01IMfK5fs&ved=0ahUKEwij0OXelfjXAhUJ6CYKHRHSC5gQtwIIJTAC&usg=AOvVaw2ihF4Ep7-kN1ATjt2XfyFJ
There are quite a few videos, but the first two are the ones I speak of. Actually, it is amazing that he speaks of being in contact with Joel Olsteen, TD Jakes and the like. Have we arrived? Do we limit ourselves? Do we stop with the preacher or go on to the Master? These people are on God’s path too, and always will be, In Jesus’ Name.
That was a sidebar for you to ponder. Now back to our share. Regarding ‘time,’ we also exist in ‘time.’
In the Harvey video he speaks of someone who was in Heaven that opened a door with his name on it to a room filled with packages he never received from God. Why hadn’t he gotten them, because he was not in position or in this case, the right ‘street’ to receive them. In the video it says that God sends your packages to Faith street and that you have not, because you ‘faith’ not. We have so much in and through ‘faith’.
Stand and exist on Faith street, because we are in ‘process.’ Just as we are about ‘time’ passing ‘there’, our experiences are measured by how the passage of that experience is counted.
This brings up a learning on the topic of having ‘Faith’ where we exist here. Each experience we have, is how ‘time’ passes.
We learn to exist in God’s passion. So many times we exist where we are where there are ‘limitations.’ On earth, we have limits in and on our path. However, we must ‘break through’ levels in order to grow in the spirit. If we did not experience challenges, how would we “learn” that God can solve them and grow wise and strong in Him?
I have often asked “Is every experience ‘there’ going to be easy?” No one ever called our time here ‘Easy street,’ but rather “Glory-Saturated Place.’ To prove my point, we read: “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.’”
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelations 21:1-5
So, there can and will be tears? I didn’t say this. There will be experiences. There must be experiences, but even if there is a ‘negative’ experience that might cause us to shed a ‘tear’, all things are in His hands. Amen
