We Feel That Love Is Eternal, And We Are Right
Picture ourselves standing in front of a great living masterpiece, infinite in dimension, but viewing is from only six inches away. We see rather clearly what is right in front of us, a bit around our peripheral vision, but are unable to grasp the grandeur and actual point of what God paints. It literally takes the Spirit of God to pull us back and give us His perspective.
I feel like I am standing under a waterfall of Rhema these days. Sometimes, like the priests at the dedication of Solomon’s temple, I can hardly stand it. I sense I am present at the dedication of a greater than Solomon’s temple. i.e. the Body of Christ. The refreshing is both awesome and frightening at the same time. As God translates me, I see more of the breadth and depth of His plan, however, at the same time I realize how utterly wrong we have been about so many, many things.
Visions of paradise
Therefore, I understand, more and more, why Paul said,
“How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.”
2 Corinthians 12:4
Thankfully, most of the revelations God is giving I can share, and only a relatively few are unlawful to speak of. This one has to do with what the movie “Titanic” tells us about eternal love.
There is an innate sense of a greater, timeless reality. We strive to recreate immortality all the time in written word, music, and movies. In fact, we are preoccupied with the eternal. We feel unfairly bound by the fourth dimension.
When you listen to music, such as “my heart will go on”, sung by Celine Dion, we instantly identify with the sentiment expressed. It is simply a universal feeling that love does not stop, but will transcend anything. Like portrayed in the movie “Titanic”, something deep within us “knows” that love is forever.
God is love
The fact is, love is eternal because God is eternal. Beyond this creation there exists a place, called heaven, where love never ceases. It is a place where, when you hold someone, you hold them forever. The point of the movie “Titanic” is that love transcends anything, even death.
When you listen closely to this song, it attempts to reach, create, and portray a place where our hearts go on, where we are one with the ones we love. In fact, “My Heart Will God On” is so successful precisely because it is true. Celine connects with that part of us that still knows we are timeless.
The devil lies to us that there is nothing beyond this world when, in fact, everything and everyone important is beyond this place. When you look at someone and recognize them like you’ve known them forever, it is, amazingly true. It is not re-incarnation, like false religions teach, but one eternal incarnation, by one omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient God.
Pre-existence is not only for Christ
The realm of God’s Spirit is eternal in a way we cannot fathom with our nature minds. In that place, we exist already, with God. These four dimensions, which define and bind us now, are temporal and temporary. Satan, who lost perfection through sin, desperately wants to deny us our perfection. With a malevolence not possible in this world, fallen lucifer desires to deny us the eternal love he rejected.
Like the love story in Titanic, our hearts go on, and transcend this creation. The blood of Jesus Christ pays for our sins as we accept him as God’s son. Jesus makes the way out of the snare of the evil one plain and available for everyone who dares take it. Literally, Jesus is an open door into heaven which no man can shut. It is that door I’ve been peering into lately. Even through the merest crack, the vision of a life more abundant takes my breath away.
Our hearts transcend this creation
In conclusion, trust your hearts, because they do go on. In fact, those whom God connects us with are not first time meetings, but re-connections of eternal relationships we already have. True love is re-connecting with heavenly mates. It is a home-coming. The revelation of God’s love, my friends, is far deeper than we realize.
As God says,
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9
Dear Brethren,
The natural man and the spiritual man are polar-opposites. One only believes what he can understand, while the other only believes what he is told. When I write, I do not reason. My only goal is the let the Holy Spirit flow. Thus, I am often surprised by the finished product.
The notion, that somehow we pre-date or pre-exist this creation, in eternity stumbles the natural man. God says,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [b]comprehend it.” NASB
John 1:1-5
We simply do not understand these verses. The word, the Logos, seems to be referring to a pre-existent Christ that was with God in the beginning.
God also says,
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:26
Perhaps us refers to God and the Angels or Seraphim. However, perhaps God does refer to Jesus Christ. The point is, we don’t really know, whichever side of the doctrinal isle you sit on.
I am coming to believe that eternity works on a much different basis than this universe. What is impossible here is possible there, namely because, with God, all things are possible. Time does not function there as it does here, if even exists at all. Perhaps it does, but it is irrelevant, like a grain of sand on an infinite beach.
It could very well be, once we cross over into the Spirit, having access to all that God is, we exist in a place that encompasses time rather than is bound by it. Whereas it is not possible to exist before you are born here, in God’s realm, it does not matter.
Why is this important? It is important because it begins to explain a lot of what is going on in the scriptures in relation to what Christ said,
” And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”
John 17:5
And,
“And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world”
John 8:23
And,
“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”
John 8:58
Often, we try to fit what Christ says into our own earthly frame of context, but I submit to you, Jesus may be speaking from a totally different context. Furthermore, this context may only be accessible by the Holy Spirit.
In conclusion, what I am writing about lately does not have a natural reference point. These essays are beginning to peer into eternity, not by any ability I have, but only because the Holy Spirit is allowing me to see. I noticed this particularly with this blog, because the idea of pre-existence with Christ (as his body) revealed itself.
Finally, the truth is, as far out as these things may seem, they are only scratching the surface of what is available in God. There is coming a time, very soon, where the Body of Christ will be full of light. God promises,
“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”
Revelation 21:23
Amen,
Michael
Dear Spiritual Connections,
I believe that Celine Dion and Her husband René Angélil are an example of a spiritual connection. I also believe that most, if not all or her songs reflect this. Whenever there is huge success in the world there is most likely a spirit truth at its core (good or bad). In this case, Celine touches on the aspect of eternal love and spiritual mates. Other than her obvious singing ability, this is what ultimately reaches her fans and accounts for her popularity.
God bless,
Michael
