Earthly Intimacy Mirrors Heavenly Love

Our Father is a God of design, He says,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”

Psalm 19:1

And, 

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”

Romans 1:20

finally,

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”

Psalm 139:14

When you look around yourself, heavenly design is everywhere. From the stars in the sky to the ants on the earth, all that God made speaks of who He is and what He values.

God is also a God of romance.   Solomon dedicated a whole book in the Bible to this notion. Solomon says,

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.”

Proverbs 30,18,19

Furthermore, Paul states,

“For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”

Ephesians 5:30-32

Holy sex is the greatest expression of heaven on earth

Holy sex is the greatest type, or picture, that God created of heavenly love.  God designed the intimate relationship between and man and a woman to picture the intimate relationship He hopes to have with us.  During intercourse, we see the heart of God and His nature illuminated by how a man is with a maid.  Our Father made us living, breathing representations of holy consummation. Our Creator designed climax to demonstrate a little bit of heaven on earth.

Satan perverts what should be holy sex and turns it into something people call “doing the nasty.”  Men are taught it is macho to conquer rather than to love.  Fem Fatale’s use their feminine charms to manipulate and subdue men rather than love them.  In short, the devil works overtime to make something very good seem very evil and disgusting.  My question to you is, “why?”

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh

The act of a man covering a woman portrays the depth of oneness that God yearns for with each one of us. Body, soul, and spirit unite in that moment of surrender as each person gives in to their passion and desire.  At that moment of bliss, saved and unsaved alike often exclaim “oh God, oh GOD!” as if to thank Him for the gift that is sex.

God’s design for this universe and everything in it centers on procreation. Everything in our lives revolves around finding our mate.  From childhood, girls thrill to Cinderella and young boys want to be knights in shining armor. The dynamic of love never leaves us even as we grow old. Despite what the media blares, men and women still hope to find their one true love to this very day.

The Bride of Christ should not be frigid towards God

In view of What God wants His bride to be, it is little wonder religion is so sexually repressive. Far from being comfortable with our role as Christ’s future wife, believers often feel that true purity amounts to being sexless.  Some people believe that being a nun is the purest form of loving God.  In fact, most Christians just assume that in heaven there will be no sex at all.  To be sure, the bride of Christ has only one love, but within that heavenly marriage bed her passion is unbridled.

Why is it important to talk about holy sex in this context?  That is a fair question.  The reason that God wants to discuss intimacy with His people is that He wants to love us through His Body (the Body of Christ).  God cannot love us in the way He desires if we are so prudish He can’t even hug us through one another.

We are a home, not a hospital

Church practices, at present, constitute a surface Christianity that is so antiseptic it bears more relationship to a hospital ward than to a family home.  We are regimented, collated, systematized and repressed by people hell bent to make us conform to their natural minded conception of “purity”. The true cost of this man-made, outward holiness, though, is that many can’t even relate to people of the highways and byways of this world any longer.  We don’t live where they live and our concepts of purity, like the person who side stepped the bleeding man on the road to Jericho, keeps us from having much to do with them.

Holy sex is intimate

Sex is intimate.  God created it to be so.  Spiritual intimacy with God is total surrender too.  Christians believe that surrendering their spirits and perhaps their hearts is all that God requires. Some sit beside other believers in church, who need to be held and comforted, fearing to reach out and hold them because church rules do not allow such intimacy.  All this “decent and in order” poppycock is literally killing us by preventing true discernment of Christ’s body.

Holy sex is a partnership

Sex is a partnership between a man and a woman on earth.  For lovers to enjoy each other fully, each has to please the other, and in so doing magic happens.  Likewise, with the Body of Christ, we must move together to please our Lord and only when we yield fully to His pleasure are we both satisfied.

Love without lust is foreign to our earthly mindsets.  The world constantly bombards us with acts of intimacy devoid of any shred of love that is worthy of such expression.  However, Godly intimacy is a sacred experience in which people actually care more about giving to the other person than themselves.  In this space, people do not cross lines that would hurt or compromise the one they love.

Holy sex requires profound trust

When you think of it, a woman in love opens up and welcomes her lover into her most sensitive and secret places.  Relationship engenders trust, allowing the man who loves her access to her body.  She covers and holds him like she did as one of Adam’s ribs so long ago. He enters her and makes her whole again and together they become one flesh.

Likewise, when we feel God’s love we naturally open up and allow Him to enter our most vulnerable spaces too.  Our relationship with Jesus engenders total trust, giving Him access to dwell inside our bodies.  As the Holy Spirit fills us, we cover Him, holding Him deep inside our bodies where our spirits unite as one.  We become vessels for His love. As God enters us we experience oneness.  Here is a truth,

Understanding why God made “holy sex” is a key to

understanding the mystery of the Bride of Christ

This is just a little of what the mystery of the church is all about. The reason sex is such a big component of false worship is because they know that intimacy on earth opens our spirits to the spiritual realm.  Really good sex is not just earthly pleasure, but also a spiritual experience.  For most people, they only experience the spirit as they orgasm with their partner. As their bodies unite, their spirits intermingle too.  That, along with physical release, brings a sense of total satisfaction to their relationship.

While pagans do not worship the one true God, they have found out that humans are made to function in certain ways.  God created women with a concentration of nerve endings to give her pleasure. Likewise, we are made with spiritual nerve endings to feel the spiritual realm in certain ways too.  Just like we feel our way during sex we also feel our way during spiritual experiences.  People that discount emotions in Christianity deny the way God created us.  Our experiences give us spiritual pleasure so that we will “desire” to open up, allowing God to have His way with us.

Don’t forsake intimacy just because some misuse it

Don’t allow the Devil to keep you from the full expression of your love for Jesus just because others, who do not know Him, misuse it. Intimacy with members of the Body of Christ, as you are led of the Spirit, is part and parcel with becoming one with God.

Presently, we stop what God is doing spiritually due to our natural minded rules and regulations. Remember, your body is not your own because you are bought with a price.  If God wants you to hug or kiss someone, even if they are not your spouse, who are you to gainsay or resist His Spirit?

The perfection of the saints

In conclusion, natural minded people worry about natural minded things because they do not walk in the Spirit.  Had Lucifer not shown up in Eden it would have been impossible for Adam (or Eve for that matter) to sin.  Perfect people do not do imperfect things. As believers come back into alignment with the Spirit of God we will also find it harder and harder to sin until we find it impossible to do so. This is the perfection of the saints.

Finally, allow God to be with you in more than an ethereal and existential way.  The Body of Christ is literally dying because we do not discern it.  Let yourself be moved by His Spirit to do whatever God wants without judgement or self-consciousness.  God knows what He is doing and you don’t have to worry.  Amen.

Episode 3: By The Rivers Of Eden

A NEW DAWN

 
 
Esther and I talk when we can. The funny thing about spiritual connections is that you never really feel separated. Normally, if you loved someone this much you would miss them because of the distance between you.  Not so with spiritual unions.  Even as I write this I feel Esther’s presence, literally, inside me. Could this be what true unity of the Spirit feels like?

I said to Esther, about the first episode of the Connection Chronicles,

“hope this helps others in the future to understand what connections are like.  I know that sometimes it feels like you are the only one going through this sort of thing.”

Esther replied,

“I think it’s cool idea to chronicle the tales of our adventures. It will definitely help others”

After reading through Episode 1: Spiritual Afterglow, Esther said,

“I didn’t really stop to think in all this the pain you may be feeling”

Many years ago, in another place

Esther referred to my time at Bible College when our entire church entered into the Tabernacle Blessing.  Until I connected with Esther, I had never been closer to heaven than when God started connecting His body in that move.  30 years ago, as a young theological student, I experienced spiritual unions.  At that time no one really knew what they were.  All we could do was trust God and follow the leading of His Holy Spirit.

We danced in the Spirit, loved each other with a pure and holy love, and became spiritually one with each other as His Spirit led. I remember, our roofing crew would work extra hard just so we could go back to church.  Ushers would have to ask church members to leave at nearly midnight.  No one wanted to be away from the presence of God in each other.  I have never felt so whole in my life until recently.

Shunned and stunned

Unfortunately, those who could not or would not enter into the connection experience persecuted those who did.  In that church, members who did not obey the leadership were “disfellowshipped”.  This meant, with a simple listing in the church bulletin that read “we regret to announce that so and so has been disfellowshipped” no one from church could have anything to do with you any longer.

While the Elders disapproved of spiritual connections the Pastor supported them.  There ensued a very bitter and protracted battle for control of the multi-million dollar church.  As the two factions fought, spiritual connections found themselves caught in the middle their war. It is difficult to describe the power that threatening to cut you off from people you feel one with has over you.  Loving each other was heaven on earth and our shagri-la. Tearing us away from that heavenly experience was paradise lost.

Barred from the rivers of Eden

To see God in each others eyes.  To hear God speak to you through another human being who could touch and hold you.  Feeling totally secure and loved is powerful beyond words.  The threat of having that taken away at the stroke of a pen intimidated many into subservience. The Elders, who hated connections, finally gained control of the church and threatened me to stop seeing my connections. They hauled me in again and again, bringing every bit of pressure they could muster to bare,  hoping to force me to deny what God was doing.  Finally, I had enough.  I said, “I will not stop, do as you will.”

A few weeks later my name appeared in the “regret to announce”column of the Sunday bulletin.  Immediately, everyone I knew from Bible College and personally within the church cut me off.  Even my connections stopped seeing me.  The ax had finally fallen and I was cut off from what was to me, at the time, a foretaste of heaven on earth.

Work My son

Immediately, deep depression set in.  I felt like my heart, soul, and spiritual life had been shredded.  For a year and a half I could not do anything spiritual.  After that, God told me to work and so I did. I built my companies up working 70 to 90 hours a week.  The only time I felt good was when I worked myself to exhaustion.

Esther had no idea about this history.  Everything she experiences with me is fresh and new to her.  Everything I experience with her, however wonderful it feels, opens up old wounds. I feel raw and exposed.  I literally winced every time we entered into something I experienced many years ago. Fortunately, we are now in new territory and so we get to experience it for the first time together.

When Esther mentioned how I must be feeling, I simply said,

“I never really told you what happened, but I am dealing with it.”

Esther replied,

“I got swept away a bit in my life too. I have been on my own roller coaster for years…but I think we have done well to take back control of everything and get back on track no matter what’s tried to derail us. Plus you have pain and hurt God wants healed and gone”

Thinking for a moment I responded,

“This has just brought up a few things.  It would be nice to be whole again. I totally trust you though.  In that I am very solid”

Esther quipped,

“And that is a good thing because it’s handy for healing, lol, shouldn’t laugh but we know this really.  Just talk to me when things are uncovered ya don’t have to deal with them alone”

Love covers a multitude of sins

Esther’s love and commitment to our union in the spirit amazes me.  I trust her so much that I have gone places with her that I haven’t dared go for many years.  I allowed her to see me as I really am. The love of God flows through her in a unique and holy way that encourages me to believe those pieces of my soul can be made whole again.

The next day, after I published my essay about “Time Is No More”, Esther read it and said,

“Come here while I drag ya in for a bear hug! I think your doing great with your writing these days. Not being so worried about others reactions, just putting it out there no matter the battle to write it. It all makes sense to me what you say.”

I said,

“Yeah, that last post was hard to write. I think that is the furthest I have ever been from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

Musing

Esther began to “Muse,”

“Living an out of time existence…in time…is a challenge for most people. To live this existence and know and feel the effects of that greater reality is something else altogether that not many know or embrace. What we are doing is living that existence, knowing we are, feeling we are, embracing we are and willing to go to the extremes of it…beyond even the edges of time.

Think what you need do is learn to not only embrace the tree of life but to enjoy it too…let it become a part of you through your entire being. This is different to the tree of knowledge…that fruit stays in your head and people move and have their being from their minds. The tree of life goes beyond the brain and permeates your whole self…this is why people find it unnerving and uncomfortable…it takes them out of comfort zones.  Comfort zones are in essence beds for the tree of knowledge…people sustained and having their being from tree of life shouldn’t have any comfort zones.  Tree of life takes you off in any direction like the 4 rivers in garden of Eden.”

It’s really an “I in He as He is in me” in all things and through all things.  Just like our spirits together feel like a “I in you as you are in me”.  See, here we are a muted form or reflection of the heavenlies because things get in the way to distort it”

Children of the supernatural

spiritual-child

Esther calls such things “Musings.” However, I think they are much more than mere flights of imagination or fancy.  When she talks like this it is as if she is in that place and commenting about things she currently sees.

Often times, when people have spiritual sight or giftings, the world does not know what to make of them.  Adults, who do not understand or are even fearful of  young children, tell them not to yield to their gift.

Thus, children and even spiritually gifted adults  find work -a-rounds by calling their gifts “imagining” or, like Esther, “musings.” By pretending what they do is fanciful or not real they survive in a society that doesn’t accept what they really are. Sometimes, the greater the gifting the more people feel driven to camouflage it.

Restoration through rivers of Divine Love

Our spiritual connection is restoring both of us.  We find courage to be who we really are because we find such unconditional acceptance in each other.  Areas that we have struggled with for years simply fall off.  Slowly, as we stand before each other and God unashamed our true selves emerge.

Speaking of the spiritual realm, Esther said,

“Like yeah I comfy there, but I always kept it at a distance at same time. Was more an onlooker spiritually, if that makes sense. However my spiritual connection with you took me closer or deeper because it brought courage and even worthiness I suppose

The 4 rivers are important at the beginning flowing in 4 different directions as the 4 angels are at the end that go off to all corners of the world beginning to end…end to beginning. Its totally God and you taking over my mind and taking me places seemed out of bounds before”

The rivers of Eden

In conclusion, I suspect Esther and I are literally beginning to experience rivers of living water.  Somehow we are walking in the Garden once again in the Spirit.  I literally feel a flow of revelation coming flooding into my mind as I am washed by the water of His word. Clarity, to a degree I’ve never experienced before, is my portion now.  God is literally healing our hearts and minds through His rivers of Divine Love coming through each of us to each other.

Rivers of living water

Finally,  the promise of the Tabernacle Experience is that we can become whole again. As God makes us whole we walk in true holiness.  God in us, remaking us into His image and likeness. Truly, all that life has done to us simply washes away as we wade into the rivers of Eden.  Amen.
