“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.”
When we tremble and are touched into remembering our place before an all powerful God, we will be set on a pathway of knowing how to think, act and rightfully receive Him.
How can a King come to His kingdom if He is not rightfully received?
When we fear Him we get the wisdom to encounter Him and His glory.
It begins the revelation that we can step forward into the kingdom that is already present, always superimposed upon the realm of the world and is but an acknowledgment and choice.
Heaven is not a destination to go on to as we die it is a realm in the here and now.
“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,”
We can encounter and dwell within experiencing peace, love and joy. Qualities supposedly alien to this world and the troubles undoubtedly encountered.
When we are in worship we experience a heightened awareness of the Kingdom. Biblically work and worship come from the same root and by deduction could be a 24/7 experience. No lapsing or waiting in between such awareness.
Our realms are here and now. When we fear God we receive Him. We receive from the ‘tree of life’ and experience union and oneness as was the original intention.
We are now in the place of going beyond revival we are in the place of going back to the oneness of the beginning.
Something, as God’s people, we have not previously experienced.
It will not be revival but the ultimate life giving union and glory.
We are being called back through the flame of purification to the obedience and righteousness of knowing Christ. The tree of life.
“He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.”
The return to the glory of His first intention. Before the rebellion of Adam and Eve, mankind in union and fellowship with God in obedience to Him and not themselves.
Transformed in the moment that they were not in fear of Him.
When we are in allegiance we will be in the sanctuary of God 24/7 again and our worship will be our work and our work will be our worship. Everything becomes a pleasure.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,”
Our experience of ‘love’ will be that even work becomes a labour of love unto the Lord and we find joy. Our service to one another will bring peace.
“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.”
Our desire will be to please the other not the self. To bring praise, worship, thanksgiving.
“even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”
The new revival will be union. The natural flowing between the realms. The boundary between the spirit and the flesh disappears.
The illustration shows the union of us in Christ and in the spirit realm. The light emanating to push back the darkness.
