Darkness is revealed from the bottom of the pit.
All moments can not compare to the majesty that He is.
No matter nation or people, God knows all that has been done.
... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ... ~ Romans 3:23
We must beg beyond pride and self-seeking for forgiveness.
... Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. ~ Galatians 3:22

Recall, even the demons believe in God and tremble.
Belief has no effect if not equaled in action.
... and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. ~ 2nd Thessalonians 3:2
If one wants to be as free as a bird then one’s all must surrender, to God,
who controls the flight of all things. Not all are honest; public officials lie
to themselves and the citizens they supposedly serve. Civilizations more
often are built upon the lies of men wishing to be served, over the true
call to service, which God Himself has commanded us to observe.
... longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. ~ 2nd Peter 3:9
God waits for hearts to awaken in His truths of Grace and goodness. If our
baby was trapped in a well, how long would we hope for it to be saved?
... who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. ~ 1st Timothy 2:4
Truth is what brings us back to the light. Salvation is predicated upon
our actions in relation to the truth He has spoken in His holy word.
And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. ~ 1st Corinthians 12:6
All things have been given the freedom of motion. No matter if grasses
are frozen or trees bask in sunlight, the presence of the Lord holds all
reality cohesively. Without His touch all would simply disintegrate.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: ~ 1st Corinthians 12:7
Each of us has an essence of becoming, and
if we can recognize our purpose, fulfillment arrives.
But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. ~ 1st Corinthians 12:11
Each has a special gift, and if recognized, peace becomes,
with the tightness on which we stand onward. It is God’s plan
to establish truth in the heart’s of living souls.
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. ~ 1st Corinthians 12:12
Unity is bonding with His holy promise, in His given truths.
No matter how short or tall, thin or obese, God welcomes all faithful.
... all baptized into one body - whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free - and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. ~ 1st Corinthians 12:13
In our return to God, it is His way, not the ways of men.
One answer will be given as we arrive face to face in His glorious light.
Did we receive His gift or rebel in a sea of misfortune?
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. ~ Romans 10:12
Key is to call on the Lord no matter past sins, and
to come to repentance, in view of His godly guidance.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. ~ Romans 8:28
All who desire to be better, for self and others, must realize we
are part of His grand plan to return to the original goodness intended.
Moral integrity of spirit has always been His fundamental component of
creation where life dwells. He is the puzzle maker waiting to see what
parts fit in place or not. It is love of God that guides a heart.
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned - ~ Romans 5:12
Sin comes to all who leave God and pursue their own desires
without regard for Him who created all. Which path do you choose?
To run to the light or fall to the darkness? Direction declares destiny.
... through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. ~ Romans 5:18
Christ gave His all, and continues to do so.
Where do we place our all is what He watches for. Again, the
free gift of life waits for all who would grasp it. By Christ’s sacrifice,
it now has become clear, God wants to justify life and its’ purpose.
For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. ~ Romans 6:10
What a blessing we find in undeserved forgiveness. His life sets
truth as a premium to be obtained. No one, no matter belief or faith,
can deny life is tangible, real to the senses. Satisfying the senses
distinguishes whether one exercises self-control or if the zest for lust is
unrestrained, discarding His called for decency order. Living for lust is not
living to God where all higher purpose dwells. Civilizations that focus on
the flesh are soon extinguished to the past failures of spirit. The corridors
of history, and the present, prove man is a failure in exalting God’s ways.
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen. ~ Romans 11:36
All reality, seen or not, originates from His gifts of freedom among life.

that have become lost upon time’s bondage.
... if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. ~ 2nd Corinthians 5:14-15
To find life’s purpose, one needs to see who originally
sacrificed, so that we may all live and savor life.
... if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, ... ~ 2nd Corinthians 5:17-18
To be reconciled to God, one must reach within to draw upon
the very heart of God. It is an approach to a glorious destination,
unbelievable, for those that endure trials of the flesh.
And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, ... ~ Hebrews 5:9
Heaven is a destination none of us has arrived at, as of yet.
If we can endure the tortures of living in the flesh, rather than
refusing this releasing to spirit, we find true meaning of why.
All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death. ~ 1st John 5:17
Finding forgiveness in Christ frees us from the sin
that condemns us. He carries what we are unable to.
... "If you believe with all your heart, you may." ... ~ Acts 8:37
As eternity is written on the hearts of all, to believe is an act of a
good conscience, clear of opinion. His written truth is plain for all to see.

multi-media participants have much shame to bear.

opportunity coming, for all those who reject what
He has delivered, at the cost of life itself.
Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins. ~ Proverbs 10:12
Love’s highest call touches all. Love maintains more than one can give.
... We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -- ~ 1st Corinthians 15:51
A great awakening is coming, both terrifying, and anticipated, by all.
For better or worse each will come to know without excuse.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, ... ~ 2nd Corinthians 5:10
To arrive will be sweet to all who hear and obey.
Good will find its’ reward, whereas bad descends into oblivion.

We must, through reason, correct errors uplifting the strength of truth.
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. ~ 2nd Timothy 4:5
To climb on is what the faithful do. Looking back into the valleys of
darkness is a snare to all those who fall back, losing a heart of devotion.

... Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ. ~ Romans 14:10
Hate is what divides even those who would be holy.
Do you want to come to God as an derisive soul? It is crushing to be
convicted by yourself, and better sooner than later. To bury hate is to

Hope has a destination that lies beyond suffering in the flesh.

Promise by faith
All confined under sin
In rebellion, God delivered divine laws to guide
all who would live by the promise of faith in Him.
But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. ~ Galatians 3:23-24
What came before in law showed all mans inadequacies.
The touch of God frees us from spiritual sleep and awakens
the heart to know His truth, under the oppressive reign of men.

God lifts those who obey and rely upon Him.

God never forgot His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
... water gushed out; It ran in the dry places like a river. For He remembered His holy promise, And Abraham His servant. ~ Psalms 105:38-42
To find is not to reject.
"... to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses." ~ 1st Kings 8:56
Faith does not question the truth God has given.
God reveals His desire for our return from sin
Noah covenant = Rainbow
Abraham covenant = Promise
↳ circumcision
Moses covenant = Law
↳ immediate disobedience
... Lord said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your descendants. ... ~ Deuteronomy 34:4-5

What cannot be halted is missing those that have gone before. A
message screams across time not to lose the battle winning eternal life.
Many are frozen unable to wait for the truth of His eternal love.
"'... David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.' From this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Savior --Jesus--" ~ Acts 13:22-23
God’s promise rises in the truth of Christ
According to the promise
God raised up for Israel a Savior
-- Jesus --
When one looks to the past it is more an expose on men
seeking their own rather than serving the whole. Service to God
often takes a back seat to fulfilling man’s desires and or lusts.
"... 'Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.'" ~ Jeremiah 32:42
God will not wait on the proud, whose destruction
will be swift, as they have stolen the time of others.
"'... I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah:'" ~ Jeremiah 33:14
Truth can not be altered, as it is clear,
past anything man would want to change.
... of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ~ Hebrews 9:13-14
Christ is the light of truth itself for who would have life in God.
God scarified His own life that we may take ours.
One can say nothing more as He has given all.

What could be more than an eternal inheritance?

Hope is the anchor to eternity.
And this is the promise that He has promised us - eternal life. ~ 1st John 2:25

... having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. ~ 2nd Cor. 7:1
In the cross of life, to purge what is despicable, is the call of God.
... by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ~ 2nd Peter 1:2-4

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. ~ 2nd Corinthians 1:20
Christ is the epitome of what man should aspire to be.
... blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ~ Galatians 3:13-14

if we waver not from His truthful words echoing our return.

and have Him, eternal blessings in life.
... having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. ... ~ Ephesians 1:13-14

... who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. ~ James 1:12

PART 4
"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" ~ Numbers 23:19
It may take more than a human lifetime, but God delivers on His word
in His time of patience. The Lord cannot be quantified in all His glory
as men quibble over their beliefs. God is God who created man,
not that man created God.
... The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. ... ~ Psalms 33:10-13
The LORD cannot be replaced or substituted. To find God is to find one’s own heart.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, ... ~ Philippians 3:20-21
Confession is made of the mouth, that we believe in Him,
who is able to lift us into the bliss of His love.
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. ~ Hebrews 13:14
We seek something that cannot be bought,
but has been purchased; redemption from death.
"... I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; ..." ~ John 14:2-3
Home holds the sweet flavor of comfort in love
I prepare a place for you
I will receive you to Myself
Where I am, you may be also
Our hope comes to light in the word delivered for us to know.
... Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. ~ Hebrews 3:6-8
Christ is the master all must come before,
to inherit eternal life or unmeasurable death.
... If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ~ 1st John 1:7-9
Our ascent to heaven only comes by Jesus, the door to eternity.
... He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; ... ~ Acts 1:3-5
Jesus appearing in the flesh, after His crucifixion, sealed the promise, to
come by His announcement of the truths of God’s plan for soul retrieval.
... to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. ~ Acts 2:33
Christ rules from the right hand of God. Truths of God do not change,
though mankind caters to different doctrines distracting many to believe
in lies. When men choose men over God, deception is the guide
to destruction, no matter how noble in appearance.
Imagination has two sides as light is to darkness.
... "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, ..." ~ Acts 2:38-39
To be part of His promise hearts must come to God
God calls
⮡ Repent
↓
Be baptized
⮡ In name of Jesus Christ
↓
For the remission of sins
↑
Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
A common message is to confess to God and believe in His word.
Arguing over truth is not accepting truth but remaining in rebellion
married to proud hearts. The Holy Spirit comes to
humble hearts and flees from the arrogant ones.
"... For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." ~ John 3:16-17
God hopes all will regain senses of Spirit over those
destructive characteristics that steal the joy of holiness.
Coming to Him is conditional based on His word and what He
expects from His children. The offer of everlasting life has been
made for us to respond to or not. God looks for honest hearts.
... life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son ... ~ Romans 8:2-4
Rhythm’s music is heavens song to see His kindness

What God does in Jesus is wash us with His everlasting truth.
... hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. ~ Hebrews 6:11-12
God wants us to come to Him because we want to, not because we
have to. Orders or commands by man do obscure the true reason for
His coming, to set us free from mans domination and manipulations to
control the masses. God works with one soul at a time, collectively.
... chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? ~ James 2:5
What can never be satisfied in the flesh can be easily obtained
in the spirit. What is free has no cost when accepted as the gift
that it is, life. When children love you, it is easy to forgive them
and love them, welcoming them home. The complement is
found in diligent study and observance of His word.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. ... ~ Hebrews 10:23-25
Own your own faith.
└─> Build on your own faith.
└─> Read scripture.
└─> Look to the promise through Christ.
└─> Heir of the grace of God.
└─> Now a child of God.
└─> Believe God.
└─> Repent of sins.
Hope is the slide we ride into eternity.
... done the will of God, you may receive the promise: "For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry." ~ Hebrews 10:35-38
Living, and how one endures or not, declares character.
There are the faithful, and the faithless. Each respond to their
circumstances; one with love and patience, and the other with
contempt and distrust. It is the same as being hopeful or hopeless.
To gain heaven we have to do our part by faith and good works.
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, ... ~ Ephesians 1:13-14

God’s promise reflects His love for all His children.
Darkness is where the past leaves the present.
God's call echoes across the ages of time.
"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, ..." ~ Numbers 23:19
The LORD cannot be replaced or substituted.
To find God is to find one’s own heart.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He. ~ Deuteronomy 32:4
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. ... ~ Psalms 33:10-13
The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. ~ Psalms 14:2
God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. ~ Psalms 53:2

Fear of the LORD = Beginning of knowledge
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. ~ Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. ~ Proverbs 9:10
All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; ... ~ Daniel 4:35
For all that believe in human importance, the Lord God clears
the confusion, it is a quagmire of insignificance if not considering
His glory of creation. Mankind's demise is his inability to join across
the spectrum of all conditions. Greed, corruption, and the such,
steal decency and respect for all. God remains sure.
All nations before Him are as nothing, And they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless. ~ Isaiah 40:17
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth. ~ Psalms 57:11

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. ~ 1st John 5:2
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. ~ Galatians 3:26
Inheritance is a result of actions in life. Full or empty expresses a soul’s
quantifiable spirit accumulations; good with bad. To be in God’s service is
to extend gracious behavior to those in our lives. Faith in Jesus puts one
a step ahead of the human condition, where death divides lies from truth.
Holy bound heaven is the sight ahead.
... search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, ... ~ Ecclesiastes 1:13
It is a laborious effort to achieve wisdom in the truth of God’s own
excellence. Upon the endless spirals of time it can be a trial of hardship as
experience can be a unkind razor. God speaks to us all with the gift of life.
What we seek, either below or above,

And He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" ... ~ Ezekiel 37:3
Unity under One God verses divided worship is what God sees.
“Son of man” occurs 106 times In the Old Testament, and 84 times in
the New Testament. He wants humans to come to Him, not to a man or
woman. God wills we hear over remaining deaf. Our captivity from
true freedom is where the lower callings of flesh hinder those
higher calls from God’s own nobility above.
... "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." ~ Daniel 3:25

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, ... ~ John 1:12-13
... those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. ~ Romans 9:8
God’s power comes to us by His Holy Spirit displayed through Christ.
Sons of God, also called sons of the resurrection, find life through God’s
own womb of truth. His promise comes to those born in Him who call
on His name, believe in His Word. Belief is key to unlocking the door to
eternity. God wills that we find peace under His cover of truth in Grace.
... "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'? ... ~ John 10:33-38
I said, "You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. ~ Psalms 82:6
... we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, ... ~ 1st John 3:2
As God proclaims “You are gods,” it is for our power to judge and execute
punishment. Created in His image we have these absolute characteristics
of the Almighty. To find the highest quality of self, one must see God in
self, both inward and outward. God wants us to see the light of life is
given by His love for us to become on our own. We bear witness of
ourselves and what leads us will judge us in His presence.
Without practicing righteousness with a loving heart will condemn
all those who fall away from this call. To be of God or not of God.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ~ John 1:4
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light ... ~ Ephesians 5:8

All hearts seek for one thing or another. To recognize the source of one’s
thankfulness is what one glorifies. To ignore the wisdom, through knowledge,
delivered by God’s Word dampens the soul. It is belief that eventually
finds God over the delusions of temporary man. Jesus Himself
proclaimed, above all, to believe in God Almighty eternal.
That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. ~ John 1:9
True light gives while darkness takes.

"No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light." ~ Luke 11:33
The dichotomy between light and darkness is derived from hate over love.
All is clearly seen by the justice of God. Truth outshines the darkness of hate.
Without applying goodness over callous desires condemns the soul.
Either one’s legacy shines or devours.
"... I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; ... ~ Deuteronomy 30:19
Heaven and earth are witness to actions in time.

● God is light and in Him is no darkness at all
Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle. ~ Psalms 43:3
... the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat. ~ Leviticus 16:2
... and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, which had the golden censer and the ark ... ~ Hebrews 9:3-4
.. and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. ~ Hebrews 9:5
... the ark of God, whose name is called by the Name, the LORD of Hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. ~ 2nd Samuel 6:2
God’s giving is the anchor that commands creation
Who dwells between the cherubim
🡢 the LORD of Hosts 🡠
the Ark of God
... "O LORD God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, ..." ~ 2nd Kings 19:15
God gives us an example of the divine nature of life in the light. God Himself
shone upon the earth between the cherubim above the mercy seat on the Ark.
Just a glimpse of beyond anything quantifiable, regarded as holiest, His
presence was housed in a temple guarded in what was considered
as in the deepest of what should be protected. Clearly,
where life resides should be treasured as precious.
... From the LORD of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion. ~ Isaiah 8:18

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD! ~ Psalms 135:21
The Word of God came forth by His own will and choosing.
As His soul personally touched mortals of the past, His decision
was to come to us by way of Zion from Jerusalem.
"But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? ..." ~ 2nd Chronicles 6:18-19
Questions are the blessing of wonder
Will God dwell with men on the earth?
The heaven of heavens cannot contain God
How much less this temple I have built!
Yet regard the prayer of Your servant
Listen to the cry and the prayer before You
"... I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word." ~ Isaiah 66:1-2
As the infinite touches the finite hope inspires
Where is the house that you will build Me?
For all things made exist by My hand
Says the LORD
But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit
And who trembles at My word
"But Solomon built Him a house. However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, ..." ~ Acts 7:47-51
God's mercy offers His Grace to all
Solomon built Him a house
However, the Most High
Does not dwell in temples made with hands
Stiffnecked uncircumcised in heart and ears!
Always resist the Holy Spirit
"... who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it." ~ Acts 7:53
The truth of it is that God encompasses more that can be known or imagined.
Through His will, His message is to converse with Him through prayer.
For open hearts, goodness is intrinsic to His creation, and displayed and
practiced by those responding to the higher calling of this essential spirit.
Unfortunately, many turn from the truth of creation choosing selfish pits of
destruction where loss is greatest. The heart of God dwells in each of us.
... the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. He burned the house of the LORD and the king's house; all the houses of Jerusalem, ... ~ 2nd Kings 25:8-9
... the things of solid gold and solid silver, the captain of the guard took away. ~ 2nd Kings 25:14-15
Because of Mount Zion which is desolate, With foxes walking about on it. ~ Lamentations 5:18
... my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, ... ~ Isaiah 5:13
Those that abandon God abandon civilization
... No man repented of his wickedness, Saying, 'What have I done?' Everyone turned to his own course, ... ~ Jeremiah 8:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. ... ~ Hosea 4:6
Taken from the unfaithful is God’s own presence. Riches turn to destitution
without appreciation. Honor evaporates mired in all that is contemptable.
Knowledge has no basis in truth and paranoia drives anxiety to the brink.
Where respect for decent common sense is absent, cruelty rules.
Without God there is no peace.
"... 'Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.'" ~ Ezra 5:15

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. ~ Psalms 119:105
God has not abandoned His creation in us.
His kingdom frees those souls finding His given truths for living.
His Word offers deliverance when His call is heard. As an arrow
to heaven, light in life is His enduring promise through Christ.
For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, ... ~ Proverbs 6:23
"... I am the LORD your God, Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy, And no aliens shall ever pass through her again." ~ Joel 3:17

Faith is the substance of belief in God
● Root of the righteous cannot be moved - Prov 12:2-3
● My salvation, defense and strength - Ps 62:5-7
● Grounded and steadfast - Col 1:23

Cannot be moved

... Those who trust in the LORD Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. ~ Psalms 125:1
Application normally comes after experience ratifies the considered reality.
God instructs us through His presence to remain sure in faith though direct
sight is unavailable. San Francisco is present even though one may be in
London. Reality is that it is, and we all trust in life as we awake to the day.
As His inner light of life is, so is ours as gifted by Him. Mount Zion exposed the
higher truth of an unwaveringly presence of inner dwelling, of life’s truth in light.
Conscience is the relief given to heal character to hold a presence of greater
goodness. To dismiss the sanctity of life is to violate God’s own call to live.
"... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." ~ Matthew 5:14-16

The presence of God calls to each heart
● God’s holy hill, Mount Zion, held His tabernacle
● God would appear in a cloud above the mercy seat
● Two cherubim overshadowing mercy seat on Ark
● The Ark has no details today that can truly be given
● God’s dwelling on earth was between the cherubim
● Well known God dwelt in Jerusalem on Mount Zion
● Babylon destroyed Jerusalem taking all her riches
● Captivity came for Mount Zion was filled with foxes
● King Cyrus ordered the temple to be rebuilt
~ Isa 44:28
● So in Mount Zion and Jerusalem will be deliverance
● Law comes from Zion & His word from Jerusalem

... for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ~ Hebrews 11:10
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. ~ Hebrews 13:14
... desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. ~ Hebrews 11:16
What one values exposes the presence of a heart. What one is willing to
wait for defines desires held. Thought can be either dark or light as the mind
ponders through the moments of time. There is good and bad. Failure of
character is found in the inability to wait. It is the divide between a humble or
arrogant presence. Knowledge without wisdom plagues the immature; a battle
for all. A valid question is what one hopes for. Undeniably, as materially bound,
in the flesh, all wait for the future as it arrives. Human vision is either infinite or
finite. To wait for eternity enlarges the soul while those finitely inclined can lead
to the despair of not having. Peace is bound in the comfort of God’s promise to
retrieve the dedicated faithful beyond all skeptics and angry judgmental fools.
A glorious home awaits for the spiritually patient while all greedy thieving liars
are confined to the corridors of misery. Reward lies ahead, be it life or death.

For we walk by faith, not by sight. ~ 2nd Corinthians 5:7
Our entrance into heaven’s magnificence has been described and revealed
to us through God’s Word. In the face of innumerable Angles, a heavenly
abode beyond description is said to descend upon those ascending. Called by
numerous names, all synonymous to each other, the city of the living God, a
holy city called New Jerusalem, Mount Zion, God’s own tabernacle of endless
presence, we wait for what God has already prepared. Permanence is when
we visibly dwell with God’s own life light, forever, as His caring sustains us.
... things which God has prepared for those who love Him. ~ 1st Corinthians 2:9-12
The truth of our destination in life has been revealed.
"... I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." ~ John 14:2-3
The promise is God calling us home

Copies of the true

What has occurred on earth in time is the finite shadow, to show us
the infinite truth of God’s eternal presence before each one of us.
His great desire is for each of us to find Him with healed hearts,
in that deepest tabernacle of self where love finds peace.
The message is clear, be that I am with the light of life.
"... there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." ~ Revelation 21:4

... Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? ... ~ 2nd Corinthians 13:5
... To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, ... ~ Revelation 1:5
But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. ... ~ Hebrews 11:16
... He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. ~ Titus 2:14
"... 'to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgivness of sins and an inheritance ..." ~ Acts 26:18
A challenge for all is enduring the corruption mortal living presents.
The call is to become more godly with thankfulness more often than not.
To come out of the darkness is to hold fast to His Word of life.
... as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God ... ~ 1st Peter 2:5
Sacrifice is an act of caring and doing for others.
... Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, ... ~ Hebrews 11:4
... by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. ~ Hebrews 13:15
But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. ~ Hebrews 13:16
"... I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." ~ Matthew 9:13
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God ... ~ Ephesians 5:2
To know is better than not to know
To offer up spiritual sacrifices
Acceptable to God through Christ
🡢 Righteousness – Heb 11:4
🡢 Praise to God – Heb 13:15
🡢 Do good & share – Heb 13:16
🡢 Mercy – Matthew 9:13
🡢 Love – Ephesians 5:2
All God fearing souls are called to offer up spiritual sacrifices.
As creations from the dust, what is acceptable to God through Christ
is righteousness, praise to God, to do good and to share, to show
mercy and love. To live is found in adhering to these principles.
To hate and seek revenge while cursing has no honor with God.
... if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ... ~ 2nd Corinthians 5:1-2

... if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. ~ Romans 8:9
These bodies of the flesh, tents or vessels housing our lives, seek a life
beyond that of the earth. Confidence in heaven’s promise only strengthens a
soul. Knowing is one step above hoping. As life carries the groans of living,
our hope is realized through the promise and gift of the Holy Spirit.
To accept the Spirit of Christ is to dwell with God himself.
A heart hopefully reaches out or is stuck within
if the Spirit of God dwells in you
🡢 not in the flesh but in the Spirit ✺
if anyone does not have
the Spirit of Christ
🡢 he is not His
... the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. ~ 1st Corinthians 3:16-17
The disregard of holy qualities assassinates spirit

2CO 6:16
the temple of God is holy

1PE 1:16
God will destroy him
Anyone defiles the temple of God
... because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy." ~ 1st Peter 1:16
... For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them And walk among them. ..." ~ 2nd Corinthians 6:16
... who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, ... ~ Psalms 15:1-3
To achieve the best character a soul can be is
Who may Abide in Your tabernacle?
Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
● He who walks uprightly
● Works righteousness
● Speaks the truth in his heart
● Does not backbite with his tongue
● Nor does evil to his neighbor
● Nor does he take up a reproach
⮡ against his friend
But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. ~ Proverbs 4:18
As God’s glory has been revealed, each of us houses the gift of life given.
As such, we are custodians of this sacred temple of life. By disregarding the
call to be holy is in defiance of the noble qualities His truth has delivered and
commanded. To climb to the light is to believe in the transformation to come
where we will be as He is, bathed in eternal light. As we rise from the
darkness, death is consumed in the life He freely gives,
as a call to awake; remaining in faith.
... when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. ~ 1st John 3:2
Hope is the basis of knowing of His coming
We shall see Him as He is
🡡
We shall be like Him
When He is revealed
🡡
Revealed what we shall be
🡡
Children of God
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light ... ~ Ephesians 5:8
Everywhere the world is in turmoil.
To remain enmeshed in controversies of man,
over the worship of God, seriously weakens the unity of peaceful societies.
To remain sleeping in the darkness of lusting liars sinks all meek souls.
Hope inspires as a return to God’s own truths in the light.
Faith is the light in the house of true hearts.
Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." ~ Ephesians 5:14
As promised by Jesus the Christ, He has a sanctuary prepared for each
bound to be received in Heaven. Clues to this truth have been unveiled by
the glimpse to His unending presence shown in His holy mountain called Zion
(copy of the true). Bliss will replace all agonies when hope reigns supreme.
The shadows fade as His brilliance shines forth.
Heaven is the destination
● Abraham waited for a city built and made by God
● We seek a city of God to come - in heavenly country
● God dwells in divine Mt. Zion; heavenly Jerusalem
● New Jerusalem is where God welcomes His own
● Jesus prepares a place for us where He now is
● Heaven has no tears, no death, no sorrow, nor pain
