Dear Connections,
Here is a truth,
If an infinite Bride,
Then an infinite Wife.
If an infinite Wife,
Then infinite Children.
Come, walk with me among the stars and through time itself …
In the beginning God had an original plan for us. Being that He is all-knowing, powerful, and everywhere present, His plan was pretty big. The truth of it is that what God intended for Adam and Eve was simply breathtaking. Unfortunately, through the agency of Lucifer, that was derailed for a time, and the universe He had made for that plan was damaged. That is how it is, but today I want to talk to you about what, in the restoration of all things, it will be.
Consider these verses:
“Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.”
John 8:14
And,
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”
Ephesians 13, 14
And,
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
Revelation 21:1-5
Finally,
“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
In the beginning, God had a plan, and it was marvelous. You see, our Father had looked among all the infinite things He had created and found no helpmate for Him. Therefore, He created Adam and Eve a little lower than the angels, but purposed in His heart to crown them with glory as His helpmate. Why? Well, God wanted companionship, and He also wanted children.
However, how does a Spirit that fills heaven and earth find a Bride, let alone have children? Well, He creates mankind in His image and likeness. He then fills them with His Spirit. For His Son, He creates a wife, a helpmate for him. When they make love and bring forth after their kind, He is there in their midst, bringing forth after His kind, too. Thus, their children are the children of God.
However, God creates Adam and Eve lower than the angels, and as they unite with Him they become like Him. It is a process–not an initial state. They are becoming perfect like Him throughout all eternity–not gods themselves–but merging with God Himself so that if you have seen them, you have seen the Father. Thus, God obtains a wife who is like Him but is not a separate god.
Where do you live with an infinite wife? You live with her in an infinite house, a New Heavens and New Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. The First Heavens and First Earth, which were damaged by sin, you do away with, and you build her a new house where you will both reside for eternity.
What is this new house? It is nothing less than a restored universe, containing trillions of galaxies, each containing a hundred million stars and many of those stars having solar systems and habitable planets upon which to place His children, through translation, upon them. This is our inheritance. This is what God is preparing for those who love Him. This is what Jesus is doing at this time.
But wait, don’t we now, through the infilling of the Holy Spirit, have an earnest, or a foretaste, of that inheritance? Yes, we do, and this is why we taste of the powers of the world to come. This is the reason that gifts of God, such as miracles, healings, prophecy, etc., work in this world. We are literally accessing how things will be in the New Heavens and New Earth now, through the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Likewise, we who walk in His Spirit straddle two worlds through that same Holy Ghost. Spiritual Connections are reflections here, in this world, of relationships we have there, in that world. People we are united with there, we recognize when we meet them here, and it is a reunion, not a discovery.
Divine Mates who come together in this present time are only reflections of eternal mates that exist, currently, in the New Heavens and New Earth. This is why the power of God flows through them, and this is why they see with revelation born not of this earth. This is also why they will continue in the world to come, namely, because they already are there in eternity now.
Lastly, the New Heavens and New Earth are what Jesus is creating now. In a way it already exists, and that is where He returned to when He said He was returning unto the Father. It is from whence He came. It is where we are going after the rapture or after being raised from the dead. It is heaven.
Jesus said,
“If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?”
And Paul,
“And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter”
And I will say another thing: what I have said today is not “Christian Mysticism”; it is merely revelation that is available to anyone who will listen to the Holy Spirit speak to them. You don’t have to be super spiritual to have someone tell you things; you just have to listen to what they say and believe.
Suffice it to say that what God has in store for us is much, much bigger than we can imagine, and it is our inheritance and blessed hope. This world is not our home, but while we are in this world and not of it, we do the will of our Father in it. Why? So others can hear His gospel, His good news, and be saved from the wrath to come.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
And,
“ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
Revelaton 22:17
Amen.
