God's Everlasting Love and Eternal Dwelling

1 My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses
  for the King; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
     SNS 45:1

God really desires and has called us to be His witnesses for the gospel to tell

the world of repentance and forgiveness of sins through his Son Jesus Christ.

Even his disciples wrote down everything that they had received from him. As what the bible has testified- that whoever is born of God will have the Spirit of God. If we continue to obey his command and we will be led by the Spirit of God to do things that are right and acceptable to God.

  To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.                     
                      (Proverbs 21:3 )

The demon-possessed man whom Jesus has set free and the Samaritan Woman whom Jesus has revealed clearly to her had done it. If Jesus has also set us free in certain area of our life, what an honor to be given the opportunity (blessing) to tell others that we have also been set free by the Savior and the God of heaven and earth.

          Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town
          and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything
          I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” They came out of the town and           
          made their way toward him.           ( John 4:28-30 )


                The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go
                with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return home and
                tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away
                and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
                               ( Luke 8:38-39 )

The bible said in 1 Samuel 15:22, ‘To obey is better than sacrifices’ I believe that it will really bless God’s heart and please Him if we can let Him reveal His goodness to others who have never experience it before through our testimonies. Through the testimonies of those who know God, He can open eyes- both spiritually and physically. In fact he is able.

He commanded us to make disciples of all nations, and He promised to be with us to the end of the earth.

And God is the one who has put His words in our mouth Isaiah 51:16 , to say to the captive, ‘Come out’, and to those in darkness, ‘ be free’ Isaiah 49:9 .

2 You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been       
   anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever.
              Psalm 45:2

Jesus began His ministry at the age of about thirty, preaching about the Kingdom of God. And the Gospel told us that all the people who heard the way of how he preached were amazed, because God had anointed His lips.

 
         All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words
           that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.
                                                                                                           (Luke 4:22)


When we have become the followers of Jesus Christ, we put on the new self- created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness Eph. 4:24, we will bear fruits. Eph. 5::9

              They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the
              word of their testimony;They did not love their lives so
               much as to shrink from death. Rev.12:11




3 When you ascended on high, you led captives in your
   train; you received gifts from men, even from the
   rebellious – that you, O LORD God, might dwell there.
                                                                      Psalm 68:18


        He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than
          all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe. Eph. 4:10

While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. Luke 24:51

       Jesus said, But I, “When I am lifted up from the earth, I draw all men to         
       myself.”                John 12:32


                  Jesus said, “ I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes
                  in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes                
                  in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25




REVELATION 1:9-18
9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom
and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of
Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud
voice like a trumpet, 11 which said, “Write on a scroll what you see and
send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum,
Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. “

12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when
I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands
was someone “like a son of man”,dressed in a robe reaching down
to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 His head and
hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like
blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his
voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held
seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword.
His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his
right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last
18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and
ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”

4 He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over
     me is love. SNS 2:4


 Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God because
  GOD IS LOVE.

Whoever lives in love lives in God. We love because he first loved us.

Jesus called us to love one another because GOD IS LOVE. He called us to walk at the banner of love (for the world) so that the world may see the light of life which gives hope, whom the Father love so much that he gave his only begotten son to died for our sins. The Gospel is all about love. Love is the fulfillment of all other laws that we need to obey.
And love will live forever. Love is the power that destroys death. Love overrules the power of hell. Whoever loves will see God and have hope.


LOVE IS THE GREATEST WEAPON FOR THE ANSWER TO EVERY CRY





5 Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the King
    bring me into his chambers. SNS 1:4


Be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. 2 Peter 1:1o

            Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of
            witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin
            that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the
             race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1

          Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains
          in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can
           do nothing. John 15:5



6 Awake, north wind, and come south wind! Blow on my
   garden, that it fragrance may spread abroad. Let my lover
   come into his garden and taste its choice fruits. SNS 4:16


            Jesus said, “Whoever has my commands and obey them,
            he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved
            by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”
                John 14:21

For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth. Eph. 5:9



PSALM 24
1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world and all who live in it; 2 for he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the waters.
3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD?
Who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.
5 He will receive blessings from the LORD and vindication from
our God, his Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, O God of Jacob. Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
He is the King of glory. Selah

The wind ( Spirit ) John 3:8 is sent to convict of all sins, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death.

God is in His Holy Dwelling.


All that profess Me would posses Me John 14:20


God is Holy and we must be holy so that He can come to make His home with us. Rev.3:20 , John 14:18 let love rules in our heart.


Jesus is establishing His throne in our heart.

Our heart is like a garden for God to beautify it with all goodness, righteousness and truth, and in it time, it will produce all the fruits of the Spirit.

And at the end of the day, we shall come to understand who can ascend the hill of the LORD and stand in His Holy place.

It is those whom Jesus has prepared a place for them. John 14:1-4

We are going to have an eternal garden awaiting in heaven according to the cleanness of our hands and the pureness of our heart. So shall our eternal dwelling be established in heaven, with all the fragranced plants, myrrh and spices which had been described in SNS 4:12-15.

God has received us to live in His eternity because of all the beauty of the fruits of the Holy Spirit that we possess in our heart by Love.

Those who want to harden their heart when God calls them over and over again to return to his Love, and they refuse. Yet when God comes, all He can find is bad fruit.

Then He will send discipline, but least you resent His discipline or He would send His WRATH.

“ Many time I struck your gardens and vineyards,

I struck them with blight and mildew.

Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees,

yet you have not returned to me, “ Amos 4:9

Just as the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters in the beginning, Gen 1:1-2, so the Holy Spirit of God works in our heart to transform us into Christ’s likeness.

So…if you can’t find love elsewhere in this life, you can create love in your heart so that Love Himself shall come to stay with you and teach you how to love and be loved ( you have it all ). You do not need to look for it elsewhere in this world because love has already existed long before we are born. And we know Him too.

What do you want to create in your life? External or internal things?!!

May Love live on forever in your heart throughout eternity together with the Almighty God and all the saints and angels?


Heaven is awaiting you!





Jesus is King !!
