God’s correction to us is an unknown treasure he bestows on us, for we know not exactly where it will take us, or what it will lead us into if our hearts have received it, and eaten of it, and God has caused us to grow through it – we are all joined together in the Lord’s body by his strong sinews and we grow only as we get our nourishment and strength from God.
(Col 2:19)
We have to eat and drink of his body for our continued growth in Christ and Christ in us, and as our sinews strengthen and our abilities increase it will take us far beyond what many will ever know or see or feel or be lead into, let alone be understanding of – if they have not eaten of the flesh of Christ which holds in it all our correction, and if they have not drunk of his blood which washes and keeps us abiding in him who is life and truth eternal.
All his correction is righteous and true and life giving, and God has put all things under the authority of Christ, and he gave him that authority for the benefit of the church, (Eph 1:22) - and he will faithfully take us where our growth in Christ is designed to take us, if we faithfully remain in the one in whom our growth depends. For when we walk with the wise, we ourselves grow wise ~ and it is only a wise person who is hungry for truth. (Pro 15:14)
And as we walk with the Lord his commands and his teaching are a lamp to light the way ahead of us – His corrections of discipline are the way to life and imparts wisdom - Jesus is God’s correction to us, for he turned us back to the way of God through his sinless blood and his living flesh, and became our pathway of righteousness back to the Father’s heart.
We have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood which graciously forgives, instead of crying out for vengeance as the blood of Abel did.
Jesus is our bread of life and corrected our stand with God by changing our diet, feeding us now on living food; he alone accomplished the cleansing of our sins and the riddance of our guilt, and through him, our hearts and mouths became opened and flowing in the repentance which is long overdue to God; He gave us his blood which was shed for our eternal salvation to drink and taste of, so we may be drinking in, and be tasting of the heart of God – and out of the true eating and tasting and drinking of him comes the ability to see God’s design for us; for the new heavens, for the new earth; and for New Jerusalem.
And what now comes to us and blows through us as a strong and revealing wind of God, is the ability to be able to set in place every living feature and article and treasure, large and small, new and old, which is held within the kingdom of God’s heart, to set it into its new heavenly dimensions in New Jerusalem –
It is to step into God and to bring out of him all of which he has set aside for the designing and building of all things new, and then to know how to use what he has allowed us to take, because the flesh and blood of Christ has formed us into a new creation ourselves - and as this new creation, we can see and build what is unseen and unformed - we can construct and establish and increase and strengthen - forming and constructing to God’s plan through the system of thought ~ and we will build with endless design the new heavens, new earth and new Jerusalem, for our hearts are baptised in the covenant for the forgiveness of sins, spiritually cleansed, and all we creatively manifest will rise out of the pure sinless blood of the covenant by which we were purchased for God - and what we create becomes real and tangible and glorious, as the flesh and life of the word give it all its presence and stature, just as Jesus who is the word and truth grew in wisdom, and stature, and favour and years, and was loved by God and all who knew him.
How God expresses himself in music and through music, has its ordained purpose reached when we take of it, and dispense what it holds within it with faithful perseverance and joyful obedience, setting into motion the splendid mechanics of New Jerusalem, who is the bride of Christ.
As God’s love came first to us, so did his word to us, and did his musical skill to us, so we could begin to learn from birth as Jesus did – brought to us from ages past and from ages forward, where they are in their increased and matured and inspired version, and brought to those of us who wish to come to know God, and how he designs, and how he plans and fashions a work of art, combining details and features of which he has already conceived in his heart and mind their intended eternal purpose; so we can also artistically work as the Lord did as he set the heavens in place and marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, and lay the foundations of earth, so as to build New Jerusalem as a bride beautifully adorned for her husband, and to design and build the new earth on which she sits, and the new heavens from which she comes down from ; in all their tenacious and indelible array so it is indeed a masterpiece, just as we are God’s masterpiece, for he created us anew in Christ Jesus to fulfil all he had planned long ago.
The fact that God is opera was a detail the Lord revealed of himself at an unexpected time, to see who would stiffen and become rigid, to see whose heart skipped a beat in wonder and joy, and to see whose heart faltered and shut down and turned at an angle away from his, as some did when truths of his humanity was released – which is just a continuant of how the many abandoned Jesus when he introduced his teaching of the eating of his flesh and drinking of his blood so as to remain in him and to have precious life; and if this invitation from Jesus offended them how could the total unveiling of this teaching and what it would lead to ever rise up out of God for men to know - for we only had to break one of God’s laws for the whole of his law to be broken; so it only takes for us to reject one part of God as he reveals it to us, for us to then have rejected the all of God –
We reject one part of Him, and what we think we have of him we do not have at all, even though the Lord may still allow us to think we know more than we do – for as we reject and do not receive Jesus we also reject and do not receive the Father, and if we do not have the Father we do not have the Son – and if we do not have the Son we have nothing; for the Lord is the only good thing we have, and when stop coming to know God, stopped also is our eternal life in Christ.
For we cannot think we can serve God and at the same time have no time for Jesus – and the Holy Spirit - or be thinking we can have the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit but have not time for the Father and his Son; for we cannot follow and serve Jesus while we are denying and ridiculing the Holy Spirit, and have hearts which do not believe that God rose Jesus from the dead –
Far away from the heart of God we will be and dead in the spirit we will be if we assume God will allow, or tolerate our acceptance of only one person of the God and at the same time professing from our mouths our undying love for Him.
Rejection of any of the details of God; details which are super sharp and microscopically fine; will close off hard and fast to us, any more knowledge of his eternal purposes and works which he is now including us in; and we can forget about designing for God, and building for his pleasure when there is still too much of self in us, leaving no room for anything else to grow because we are taking up all the room with our own self indulgence, our own self pity and our own self righteousness.
We are a new creation in Christ, and we are to be reaching into the new heavens and seeing what makes them distinct and satisfactory to God, and we have to be venturing into the wonders of how our new earth will embrace and with a proud stance, support the weight and splendour of New Jerusalem in which the glory and magnificence of God will reside permanently; and how it will hold her on its outstretched wings of praise and delight and as all the nations also bring glory and honour in through her high massive gates, each of one solid pearl.
We are to be looking through eyes with the same intenseness as God’s eyes as they range throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are blameless towards him, perfect towards him, fully committed to him, and hearts which are completely his. (2 Ch 16:9)
We are to expect, and to wait in readiness, to be shown and to be taken into and through his word, so that the pertinent scriptures which are waiting to have their release will be able to take flight as they are opened up to eyes that see out of a clean undivided heart, and ears which hear out of a clear focused mind, so that the Holy Spirit can express in his way, teach in his way and in his language what God desires for in design; and what is acceptable and needed in establishing, and constructing and combining the plans and ideas of God, to form that which is eternal and pleasing, and that which holds in it every fibre of every idea which has been assigned to be used in this masterpiece of ingenuity ~ we are not only to be open to new ideas but we are to be looking and searching for them -
For it is to be the intelligence and the ingenuity God gave us through his Spirit, which we are to use to put into action our new abilities and to now understand the Lord in a way which takes hold of all that is radiating out of him - his eternal expectations, his ideas, his feelings and the overall majesty of him, and bring them into manifestation with the same finesse and elegance and triumphal execution which the Lord himself displayed as he revealed the Father to us; for our feasting on him will bring into us, a feast of an unlimited release of his personality - for it will be as though the Lord is himself doing it when we ourselves have mastered the master’s techniques – it is to be our effort and our immersion deep into an area which will bring out of us the fine art of going deep into God and drawing out the hidden details without disturbing what else is around them - a precision which can only come from imitating the Holy Spirit – it is taking what is for us to consume, and lifting it out without disturbing what may be overlapping it, or what may be over or under it.
We have to have the precision of a lion, the tenacity of an eagle, the resilience of an ox and the ease of a man who knows and understands God.
Far away from us is to be any trace of reluctance to accept what we are told or shown; or any trace of doubt as to what God is doing and why – we are to go in and take what he shows us, and then move out and use it, being completely open and receptive to all that it is; he wants to build New Jerusalem and we have to be able see God and what he wants; we have to see what he is showing us at the time we are shown - and it was the right time for the Lord to say ‘God is opera and opera is God’; for his design genius is nestled safely amid a myriad of musical score, which is yet unheard ; and we have to swim with the powerful strokes of his sharp word through it, to be able to receive with the highest and clearest and most focused of mindsets, listening to hear all of it, but then knowing what to draw out of it, knowing what is necessary for the design we are to create, and what is relevant to the building techniques we are to acquire to be God’s builders, building what is eternal.
We are building what is permanent, as God is doing in us; that is why he gave us the revelation on opera ; and why some dismissed it as idle words, for the home of design is not for everyone and everyone though originally of God’s design do not maintain his extraordinary way he had in us ~ his design of us was the design of himself and we accepted it not – and we still reject his advances as he moves in closer to see and marvel at his work in us – to see his new creation in Christ Jesus.
Held in God’s truth, and revealed with operatic presentation, is design at its mastered ultimate level – only ever mastered and controlled by God – the opera of God is not the world’s version of opera; for even though the operas of the world can stimulate in us ideas and visual concepts, it is a mirage – an optical illusion- due to atmospheric conditions altered by Satan the spirit of the power of the air ~
and is a reflection of distant objects and people which are often distorted or inverted ~ so their position, direction and order is reversed ~ it is not real for when they are transposed they are not true and accurate and New Jerusalem is built on eternal truths and on perfect accuracy, precision and harmony, which can only come by seeing God face to face with no mirrors or veils in between his truths, and with no stage make up to disguise or alter or mislead us into thinking that without the Lord Jesus we already are good enough for God, and his plans, good enough to be his designers and builders of his new and dwellings which are clothed in God’s glory its lustre of which resembles a rare and most precious jewel; for the city is pure gold, clear and transparent like glass and with high massive walls of jasper, and it sits on twelve foundations ornamented with precious stones.
God wants helpers who are matured in Christ; sons and daughters who are not blown around by every surge of disbelief, every movement of impure and untrusting hearts; and by every optical illusion which is put in front of us to hide from us God’s true reflection, and to keep us from being the true reflection of New Jerusalem – God’s truths, and the truth of God, may sometimes shock you and be almost beyond your ability to believe, just as Jesus walking on water was, and his feeding of the 5000 was so hard to believe by those who witnessed it - it was unreal to them and they could not fully accept and believe, nor had faith in what these manifested miracles were leading them into, and therefore they never did them themselves, or had the higher truths revealed to them.
For those who do not trust in the Lord and have faith in who he is, can never keep themselves focused on the task at hand – a task which maybe alien and strange to a hard and suspicious world ; but not to God ; for him, this is a most precious and exciting time as he now comes into seeing the manifestation of the very best which he has saved for last – it is a time when he wants reliable and strong sons and daughters who know and understand where his heart is at this time; and from where in his heart he is coming from; and if we do not know where he is coming from, then we will not know either where he is going - if we cannot even see that he is speaking to us from out of the depths of his heart and soul then we ourselves have slipped into a paralysing hardness which will restrict and limit our growth and the work we can do for the Lord.
Our direction and order and position has been reversed because we are looking through ourself to see the Lord, instead of looking at the Lord to see ourselves; For what can we truly see on our own – we see what Satan lets us see and that is nothing; we see the nothingness of a world living in false revelry singing ridiculous songs, which mocks and ridicule our true calling in Christ and our true worship of God, which is to be in Spirit and truth through music and song which has had its birth through hearts made clean by the word of God.
And if you have no word of God in you – you have nothing in you -
We have to have expert building qualifications and a high distinction in design put into us by the Holy Spirit; for when each new stone and the gems inlaid in them is put into its place, it has to be set into eternity perfectly by us, and we have to know how to do it, and where and when and why – we have to know why we are doing something – and how it effects all other things, in our eternal life which has started as soon as we begin to know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent, and in the eternal realm where all will remain for an eternity - we are building our eternal home; our dream home and God’s dream home and we have to know how to respond to, and how to treat the bride of Christ – we have to learn how to treat the holy city which is being built by God in us ; We have to know how to prepare her; what to say to her; how to listen to her and know what she herself is desiring of, and also knowing and understanding of all which would be pleasing to the bridegroom himself.
We have to feel the pain of a bride not prepared in love; but instead prepared out of duty - out of a commitment made in haste; so we have insight and understanding of how our motives and attitudes have to be refined; refined until every edge of us is aglow with the distinct razors edge of God’s word.
Feeling the pain of a bride not prepared in love is to scourge out of us anything remaining which would compromise her design and presentation to the Lord; any distraction back to parts of ourselves and our own lives which add nothing to New Jerusalem, is a disaster and wipes out our ability to perform and to contribute from what experiences God has given us to add to her beauty and presentation – we would then be taken from the task ; no ifs or buts, no excuses asked for ; because the mixing of superfluous untainted design and supernatural building techniques, with a faltering heart and focus, leads to helpers who have now become unusable; they have become cracked and divided, and can no more be filled to the highest of levels.
Those who do not understand God in the concept of operatic dimensions, can never come into a mind of heartfelt design for him – For his designs are not our designs as his understanding of opera and the truth of it is not ours – his colours are not our colours, and his techniques of combining are not ours; his way of arranging are not ours; and the way his truths are distributed and displayed are far from our own imaginings, and reach far beyond our natural talents. (Heb12:22)
We are designing and building The city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem where there are thousands of angels in festal assembly.
We are designing and building with and for God, and we are to do it as he does it; with the same expertise and caring, with the same emotion and with the same attitude purpose and with the same love for Christ, otherwise the preparation will be incomplete; our love for God has to be complete; our heart responses to Him complete, our patient endurance and joy in our mission complete within us.
We are to be one with God in our love of Christ Jesus – knowing, feeling and understanding the way the Father loves Jesus and how Jesus loves his bride and how the Holy Spirit loves and responds to both of them as he builds us up and gives us unheard of and unseen designs, for the purpose of having the bride beautifully prepared and ready to be presented to Jesus ~ who is the lamb who was killed and worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing ~
Each of us will add to New Jerusalem, another dimension of God, as God adds to us another dimension of New Jerusalem ; another part of the Father, another part of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and as we are taught to reconcile the three persons of God, the new Holy City of God takes on its form and features in us – its language is established, its dimensions are measured out and its thick walls are set in place on top of its twelve foundations, amid the sparkle and lustre of God’s glory which it is clothed in.
We ourselves add different dimensions because we all are a different dimension of the three persons of God, until we are made completely one in him and he in us - and it is not for us to instead be adding another unwanted dimension of ourselves to what God now is building and planning; but it is for us to yield ourselves to truth after truth as God makes them indwell in us in ways which will bring his new holy city to life in us - we have to see its enormous deep beauty, and from where it came, and then we are to go to where it came from, and see and learn, so it can now comes out of us in a way which will make us design and build with God’s rich emotion, His serene grace and His gentle humility, but to be also filled with a vigour and purpose and zeal which can carry in rich serenity and authority the weight of the fullness of God and his people as they dwell together ; we are to be always aware and respectful of the work we are doing, and who we are doing it for, and the reason we are doing it – we have to be able to comprehend the endless combinations of all the richest of fare God is placing in our laps, and how each one works with the other – how each one respects the other - to be able to comprehend the superb talent of God as he show us the diverse and the divine ways of mixing, and merging – firstly Father Son and Holy Spirit - then colours, weights, features, treasures, words, music, emotion; teaching us how to see the one true God and at the same time to see and distribute throughout New Jerusalem all three of God’s persons; seeing the overlapping and merging of their characters and their features and their hearts, as expressed through his designs he is giving us – he is giving us living design, which is coming directly from of his heart; and which have in them God’s full design of himself ~ of which no one has seen before in the way he is ready to show us ~ it is mixing the blessings with the calamities – the power with responsibility – the passion with the vengeance - the pleasure with the pain - the word with the music – the knowledge with wise understanding – the heart with the mind - the confronting with the soft – the old with the new – the deep hues with the almost transparent glows; it is to see and learn how one lifts and highlights and reveals beauty and integrity; how severity is mixed with gentleness; it is knowing God’s way of magnifying and expressing, of drawing out and illuminating parts of himself which only a specific colour or word or design or emotion can do. It is up to us to learn how to combine so the Lord is always seen and lifted up and exalted - for New Jerusalem is a reflection of Christ in us and us in Christ - and the true reality of God, as he is in the privacy of his own home; in the privacy of his own dwelling with all which he loves around him and in him.
We are not going to be doing our own worldly thing with the expectation of the world’s applause – we will not be taking from what the world has taught us on such similar things so that the world can boast - we will not be trying to mix men’s ideas in with God’s ideas – enough time has gone by when we have tried to replace what God wants for what we want – with what God thinks with what we think - For what is not from God will never fit in with that which is from God – for even though he holds the whole world within him we are not a perfect fit with him yet ; but the area of the world in which we move in makes us able to come forth and receive and be taught God’s way in that same field of expertise – but at the same time it is not to limit us moving into other areas, if we leave ourselves open to receive all things which may be new and different to us – new and different, but never beyond us, and never impossible, when we are walking in Christ and with Christ.
When the Lord said ‘God is opera’ - those words weeded out those who could not accept the all of him in their hearts, for they attached opera to its worldly interpretation and expression - and some belittled and tried to adjust the wording he used, to rationalise it – so that it came down to ‘God loves music’ - ‘God likes opera’ – ‘God approves of singing’ - but he said ‘God is opera – and opera is God’ and he will not compromise his principles or his word to suit us, or to suit our interpretation of it ~ for we are to always seek the Holy Spirit for counsel so we may be given the wisdom to understand the power of knowledge – and to receive in holiness the truth of life, and to be responsive to the revelations of God’s grace to us, and to react and feel the glory of the Fear of the Lord as it fills our flesh and our spirit ~
There is no opera in the world which portrays the full truth of God, just as there is no one who can express God’s full and true Love expect Jesus Christ. And when we refuse to accept this understanding of his personality, we hinder him expressing and releasing not only true faithful opera through us as it really is – but releasing what opera is meant to accomplish – we hinder him from using that revelation of himself in the way he wishes to use it – and when we do this we have stopped seeking counsel from the one who is wisdom, and we will perish from the lack of knowledge, because God reveals for a purpose, and that is why he has purposed us to ask seek and knock, and not to assume we already know God’s every move and thought.
God’s indwelling opera is to be used for the building of the new - the new heavens, the new earth and the New Jerusalem ; the qualities held in God’s opera holds in it the right tools and instructions and movements and arranging, the right heights widths and depths, and settled in the mountains and valleys of the serenades, are untold revelations of how a pure heart designs; of how one who is blameless can build in the beauty of freeform, such as fire and wind and light and water – ways which can otherwise never be comprehended –
And it is the sweeping avenues of the deep pains of love, which are to make us suitable to not only be able to raise our hand to place and give direction, but suitable to raise our hearts and our mind to the challenge which royally awaits those who can see, and respond to what has been unveiled to men who truly love the Lord and all his ways ~
When God creates he is bringing forth another piece of himself into the visible realm; for God is Spirit and unseen and yet he is allowing all which is unseen and unheard to be now seen and heard; and so much more he is ready to give to those whose hearts and minds are holding fast to come into the full knowledge and understanding of the superior complexities and glorious simplicities of New Jerusalem, for they will also be men and women who know and understand what has to be done, as well as know and understand what has to take place to bring all of God’s word into its fulfilment.
God creates what is permanent. The release of true opera is for creating, building and refining - it designs and mixes and combines and reveals and delights, and brings into unison and harmony God’s desires on a permanent basis ~ each word of God is permanent even if it is encased in musical sound, so all things which it touches is changed permanently and the denying of it will not alter the fact – the truth is stronger than all opposition to it, and when it is established forth from the mouth of God it accomplishes all things it is sent to do – you cannot stop the truth – we cannot stop God Almighty – he has the right of way because he is the right way, for JESUS Christ himself will lead us into our eternal dwellings – of which he is the cornerstone ; for never is the word of God far from us ~ never will he leave us and never is his Spirit not directing to us the word which brings life to us and which bring life to God’s living eternal city; and it is only through his direction and teaching can we hear the word in its precise delivery – for if we need to hear instruction held in musical confines, we will hear it as such, and it will release firstly, the design of God’s heart, for only from taking us to where it comes from, can his way of bringing forth unsurpassed design be taught to us - because we have to see and know where it lives, where it comes from, before we can even begin to make sketches in our own hearts of what it is now purposed for.
To build and form, we have to learn how to rise in strength and character, we have to see the formation of it, and how it builds in us, and know also what makes it crumble and fall to the ground – we are to know how God exalts and how he humbles; how he hardens hearts and how he softens them.
God will allow us to see how it is within him, and how it is given structured form, and how it is given freeform ~ all the Holy Spirit bring to us to refine and sharpen and teach us, comes directly from the throne of God ~
It is endless, and our learning of his ways is without doubt the most marvellous ability God can entrust us with ~ the ability to see and learn God’s ways through his Spirit and to hear God’s voice first and foremost - It will take all our God given seeing ability, and all our God given hearing ability – it will take our entire attention, a jealously for Jesus and his word and a zeal for the Lord and his plans, because what the Lord wants to show us and teach us and give to us is so off the scale - It is so God, that the Holy Spirit whom God has placed in within us jealously longs for us to be faithful, and gives us strength to stand against evil – he yearns over us and he yearns for the Spirit to be welcome with a jealous love – the Holy Spirit zealously and jealously guards and protects and distributes accordingly what God has for us, especially now what God has for us, and he will suffer no words out of place by us which are spoken out of a deliberate and knowing heart, and will cut us down to size if we even look like we are going to betray the Lord in any way with the knowledge and expertise he is giving us – lack of word or lack practise are no more an acceptable excuse –
And any muffled or distorted sounds we hear from now on will not be God’s voice, but will be the sounds of men who are far from the Lord from his point of view, even though from their point of view they may be God’s closest confidante; but it is how God’s sees it which counts - because he sees right through us and the truth of what is in our hearts cannot be concealed from him -
It will not be God’s voice anymore which will come to us muffled and unrecognised - for the time is coming, and has come where there will be not even a breath of wind which can keep us distanced from his voice when we rise up to take claim and give back to the Lord even the air space around us.
We are to clearly hear every vocal utterance of God for it is a reflection of who he is; the perfect imprint of himself, which became fully visible when God was made flesh and blood through the body of Jesus Christ.
Creation is his imprint of himself and is the expanded representation of Jesus who is the perfect imprint of God – the sole expression of the glory of God ~ he is the perfect imprint and the very image of Gods nature, upholding, maintaining, and guiding and propelling the universe by his mighty word of power.
If you want to see and know how to build and design New Jerusalem, then let God design and build New Jerusalem in you.
Let him show you the reality of eternal life and eternity, for if you do not have it in yourself you cannot give it out – you can never design and build for God if you do not only have the building and design of God in you first – the love for it has to fill your heart for you to be able to work for God like this ~ for it can only be the love we have for God and not the love we have for what he can give us, which will permit us to be brought into his inner core, into a domain not seen by men, and which he is permitting us to now see. We are to learn, and to be taught by him personally the origin and intended purpose of design, and where it resides, and how it comes to life and moves at his command to begin its artistic eternal work. Love and a jealousness for Jesus and his word has to not only fill us but once, but fill us over and over again so it becomes increasingly concentrated in its cleansing power within us ; stripping us bare of all which is not of God and doing the same to those who come in contact with us ~ it has to be working in us in a concentrated form - for this work of God is heartwrenching, because we have to be deep inside of God’s heart to do the work, and at the same time it is the narrow way which God has chosen to open up to us to receive this exceptional unique building of our heart and mind, as we ourselves are redesigned, and put into place, as we come face to face with God ; face to face with the new heavens and new earth and the holy city of New Jerusalem. We may never fully know, or maybe we will be permitted to go deeper into God and know fully what had to be exacted out of the Father to bring all together – what had to be done by Jesus as he fought his way back to earth – and what had to be really done and felt by the Holy Spirit as he stayed with us till the very last moment, we don’t know what it took; we do not know what we really asked of them and what they really gave of themselves to us, and the pain it cost them - and we do not know what they did to release the pressure and the frustration our rebellion brought to them – and even though it may have been right in front of our eyes; it was never in our hearts to see it -
But that does not mean that we can sit back and think that it does not matter because he is God – it does matter and it is important – it is who we can become ~ it is who we are – everything we know about God makes us who we are – and to not want to know, is to not become all of who we are in Christ ~
And to not want to know, is to not allow Jesus to become all He is in us ~
1 peter 2:4
We come to Jesus who is the living cornerstone of Gods temple which men tried and then threw away, but which is chosen and precious in God’s sight- and now God is building us as living stones into his spiritual temple –
He is building us into New Jerusalem –
Stone on stone, revelation on revelation, teaching on teaching, word on word.
For when two of us on earth agree- harmonise and make a symphony together it will be done for us by our Father in heaven. We help him build New Jerusalem and the new earth on which she stands and the new heavens from which she comes down from by being ourselves New Jerusalem in the making – by being the formation of the bride of Christ while still on this earth – for whatever is opened on earth will be opened in the heavens; and as we are formed into New Jerusalem God’s opera is opened up in and through the heavens as well.
For this is how we build the new holy city – it is out of God’s revealing of himself to us – out of his revelations ~ and out of our accepting without doubt all he tell us – accepting him at his word, and accepting his word as the Truth of God.
He builds us word on word; and only on the foundation of Christ, can he build New Jerusalem – for no other foundation could support the weight of its twelve glorious foundations - and as New Jerusalem come into existence, we become the reflection of what God is building. All true Christians are a reflection of New Jerusalem as they grow in Christ on this earth, and as his bride is also prepared in the new heavens -
We are a reflection to the world of who God is, by showing to them through us what he is designing and building for our eternal dwellings.
If we can receive and accept God is opera without attaching it to our version of opera, but believe without a doubt his word to us even if we do not yet fully understand it, and then let him show us what he really means when he says ‘OPERA’, and what goes forth and what comes about when it goes into full flight as God releases it ; then we have opened a door for him to bring the heavenly mechanics of the building and designing and loving of New Jerusalem into us, for when we are ready, New Jerusalem will be ready to be perfectly prepared as the bride of Christ ; and indeed she will be ~ prepared beautifully for Jesus by God and the ones who abide in him.
And for us to come to the level of our master, is to know how to prepare his bride for him, without Him having to say a word to us; and for us to eagerly and with unashamed pride in our Lord and his bride to say ‘Come Lord Jesus Come! 'Come to the bride who is prepared and awaits you and to us who have overcome and are now pillars in the temple of God; being the true and righteous reflection of New Jerusalem while on earth.
God will take us into an existence where we will have moments of being in New Jerusalem even though we are not yet living permanently in it in our new bodies, but he will take us and stroll us through it to see how preparations are going, and for which we will have to answer to him as to the reasons we have stopped his formation of New Jerusalem in us ~ he will ask and we will have to answer and take responsibility for our actions.
To have God’s design rise out of us once we have been shown and taught and have been taken into him, so we understand from where it came, and to where it is now going, we have to be moved and motivated by stirring melodies and unwritten words - we have to feel his grandness and his reality, so we can bring forth what is bold and confronting and precisely what he has taught and shown us, all of which has come from the all of who he is – we have to be strong and courageous in our step forward so as to see and then open the treasury of what God now has brought out and which he now wants us to reveal to the world – and that is his perfectly attuned design, and his superb constructions which have no form - it is for us to lift them in all their weight and power to where they are to be placed - and displayed - lifting them out of the core of God and placing them into the core of our eternity, where God will have his dwelling with men; it is the strength of ones who can design and build with authority and confidence - because we have been taught by God to design what is incomprehendable, and to build that which looks impossible, and then to place with tenderness and caring into its eternal place, all which is without limit in its glory and its weight ; for all things which come from God and are in pure form are weighty and yet light to lift and move ; rich in texture and density but yet transparent and move unaided to their designated place;.
But that does not mean we still do not have to know how to move them, and how they have their movement.
The Father sang His opera as He waited for time to begin and now we are going to echo it back to him as we take on the form of New Jerusalem through his orchestral word to us in all it glory - for when anything new is made in us or around us it is for us to exalt and sing to God our praises of joy; we sing back to God what he first sang to us but this time when we sing, our voices will to God sound like pearls of wisdom in freeform, as magnificent as the single large solid pearls which are the twelve single gates of new Jerusalem ; we want to amaze and astound our Lord with what we have done with what he has given us ~
It will not be the extra mile we go but will be the extra eternity we now go for our Jesus Christ -
What we are to design and build is to be indelible; we are making something which is not be deleted and to be presentable to Jesus Christ;
We will be displaying the power of Godly opera; when the ordained power of opera is found in us; when we love the Lord with a love which in itself draws all his design to us, and draws all features around it so it takes on its form, rising and shining as he who is the bright morning star- for as each new structure rises and shines and sings in exaltation at its birth, so also the excitement and anticipation of the bride increases as the sound of the bridegroom coming closer is heard clearer and louder - as Jesus comes near to us - he is also approaching New Jerusalem and our anticipation and excitement will be that of New Jerusalem - the bride herself ; for we are to feel what New Jerusalem feels –
We are to feel her love for Jesus -
For Jesus is the reason we live and Jesus is the reason we love.
We are to design and build and to love all which God is creating new ~ the New Heavens which will surround and delight in New Jerusalem, the New Earth as it exalts and glorifies her as she is positioned so regally on its surface, and as the bride of Christ stretches down in majesty, and touches and ignites with excitement the very core of the earth as it sings in praise and glorifies he who has made his dwelling with men - he who gave his blood to purchase men for God.
Mary of Bethany may not have her name written on one of the twelve foundations of New Jerusalem, but she did anoint with perfume worthy of a King, the chief and chosen cornerstone on which all the other foundations are placed.
It is God who raises the dead, and we are dead without Jesus in our lives –
So let him raise us into life giving vessels whose very breath can lift into place and existence the highest of walls of New Jerusalem and set into position the deepest and heaviest of stones – let the pure transparent gold flow out of us, and all the precious jewels inlaid in the foundations be found in our hearts as we ourselves become clothed in lustre and sparkle of God’s glory as it clothes and embraces us as it clothes and embraces God’s holy eternal dwelling –
THE NEW JERUSALEM WHICH COMES DOWN OUT OF THE HEAVENS AS A BRIDE BEAUTIFULLY ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND
~AMEN~
