"Revealed!"

 

"And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ." 

(Luke 2:26)

Simeon had a secret, "revealed" to him by the Spirit of the eternal God.  "Reveal" means to disclose something that was unknown or secret.  What God knows no man knows; the future is held in the hands of the Creator; the secrets of the universe are composed in the mind of God; the unknown is Almighty God's forte; and God proves it when He says in Job, "Where were you when I formed the foundation of the world?"

Holy Ghost

The Bible says, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."  (Philippians 2:5)  There's only one way to have access to the mind of Christ and that is to receive His Spirit, the Holy Ghost and fire.  Revelations and illuminations come from the Spirit of Christ, when we are filled with His Spirit and speak in tongues, as the Word of God directs (Acts 2, 8, 10, and 19). 

Does God "reveal" today? Does He speak today?  Can we know His intentions and His plans?  Will He tell us His secrets?  Does anyone listen for the voice of God today?  All valid questions, and there is one valid answer  ...  He has already said what He wants to say in His Word, the Holy Bible; It Is Finished!  He will; however, confirm His Word through His Spirit.  There are no new "revelations;" only illuminations.  You say, "What do you mean?"  People get into great trouble when they think they "hear" a voice or get something from an "angel," and they "do not" line it up with the Word of God.  This is extremely important for TODAY, because time is short and satan's entire plot is to deceive and seduce as many as he can before the Lord comes again.  The key scripture for all to remember is what Paul said in Galatians 1:8-9:

  "But though we, or an angel from heaven,

   preach any other gospel unto you than that 

which we have preached unto you, let him 

be accursed.

As we said before, so say I now again, if 

any man preach any other gospel unto 

you than that ye have received, let him 

be accursed."

This is the only place in the Bible where a verse was repeated again in the very next verse.  Paul was speaking of himself and Peter, and it was so important that he wanted to drive the point home by repeating it again!  In other words, not all angels are from God; not all voices are from God; not all dreams and visions are from God  ...  they must be lined up with the Word of God, the Holy Bible, and if you're not sure of the source, let it go completely.  Entire so-called "religions" have been based on a visit from an angel or a voice.  There is ONE God, Jesus Christ our Lord, ONE gospel, ONE Lord, ONE Faith, ONE baptism, as stated in Ephesians 4:5.  



The infilling of the Holy Ghost helps us discern all things and leads us into all truth.  Through the Spirit of Jesus Christ, we can receive illumination of His Word, and direction to accomplish His Word.  The Lord said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27)  The only time a sheep will not follow the Shepherd is when it is sick, and then it will follow anyone!

Matthew Henry's commentary says it like this: "The Jews understood his meaning, but could not form his words into a full charge against him.  He described the gracious disposition and happy state of his sheep; they heard and believed his word, followed him as his faithful disciples, and none of them should perish; for the Son and the Father were one." 

Christmas, 2017, is a perfect time to hear from God, to know His secrets, to hear of His plans of pouring out His Spirit on all flesh, to envision the salvation of a lost world, to know the intimacy of His love for His creation, to feel and know His heartbreak for His lost sheep, and to carry His burden of a ticking clock known to the countdown moment when He says, "Time shall be no more." It's a time like no other  ...  the generation who will see the fulfillment of all things, the last hour Rapture group looking up and seeking the light of a Holy omnipotent God in a dark dark world.  

The God of the universe searches to and fro for those, or even that One, who will sit at His feet, wait for His voice, participate in His longings, feel the beat of His heart, and listen to Him in the wee hours of the morning  ... while everyone else sleeps  ... He's looking for a love child, one who doesn't just love him, but one who is "in love" with Him  ...

We can count on two hands the people who were very intimately and directly involved in the Christmas story  ...  How many are involved "today" in the "end" of the story?  Where are Simeon and Anna today?  Who seeks the face of the Lord Jesus Christ for illumination to our tomorrows?  Who waits again for the promise  ...  Again? 

There "Are" some; you don't see them much, because they may not be on the stage; they're in the pasture, wide awake in the early morning, lying between the pew and the altar, praying and groaning in the Spirit behind the veil, shedding tears for unknown souls in faraway lands, feeling the deep prophetic unctions of life beyond, seeing ethereal visions of a time not yet known, and being moved by the hand that moves all things  ...  so, who are they, and where are they?  Just like God's secrets; they are yet to be "Revealed!"

"The Aroma of our Praise"



"But as for me, I will enter Your house through the

abundance of Your steadfast love and mercy; I will 

worship toward and at Your holy temple in 

reverent fear and awe of You."

(Psalm 5:7)

 

We come, O Lord, with hearts of praise and spirits on

fire, ready to worship and honor You

With anticipation of Your presence, we seek Your face

with new wonder for a breakthrough

It's the move of Your Spirit in the power of Your name,

that makes Your love so entrancing

The more the Holies resound, the more the angels appear,

the aura of heaven enhancing

There is nothing greater than to worship our King, and

elicit Your Glory in waves of power

Look up, O world; this is the agenda and requirement,

of this season and this hour

Come one, come all, to the Live Worship Capital of the

world, Austin, Texas, PromiseLand

The gates are open; You will experience The Lord, in all

His power and wonder, firsthand

We lift You up, Lord Jesus, with all the strength and

sincere devotion we can muster

And we know Your presence will meet us here, in the

beauty of miracles, in glorious luster

Hallelujah's we shout, in choruses of harmony, as our

worship rises to Your presence

It's like being on golden streets, walking by the River of

Life, and enjoying Your essence

Wherever You are, dear Lord, is where we long to be,

so we strain to reach that Holy place

We long and desire to bow before You, sing psalms, and

gaze upon Your lovely face

Please accept our adoration, O Lord, the attempts of "dust"

to come near to You; it's a tryst close up

 Our love exceeds earth's emotions; we climb high to the

cleft of the Rock, in worship

We surrender to Your love, thank You for your birth and the 

blood You shed for all of our days

One day soon, we'll kneel to kiss Your feet; till then, we 

send You "The Aroma of Our Praise."

"Tabernacle of David"

 

"In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David

 that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof;

and I will raise up his ruins, and

I will build it as in the days of old."

(Amos 9:11)

 

 

The praises of My people will rise, as sweet incense to

an anxious waiting God

For the worship of My creation is My desire, and I long

for it without pressure and a prod

Let it rise, Oh Bride, like a wafting fragrance from the

confines of earth's sphere

I breathe in the aroma, as your God, it's an offering so

Holy, beautiful and austere

Never let it cease, My children; send it forth both day

and night, to my yearning ears

I have the Holies of My Angels, but I desire the vivid

 worship of those, My endeared

From the depths of your spirits, burst forth with your

adoration and your love

I stand with open arms, and my eyes filled with tears,

for your offerings, My doves

You are My every thought, My Bride to be, and the

treasures of My soul

To have you with me always is My plan for you, My

beloved; it's My eternal goal

Never do I tire of hearing your songs and psalms; your

aura in words rises with the winds

They're like the graceful bending in the breezes, of

the bows of the Tamarinds

Send it now, My Church, the choruses, lilts, and

 worship; don't hold back or save it

For it's restoration and remembrance, of My blessed 

 and beloved "Tabernacle of David."

"The Cup!"

"He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father,

 if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done."
(Matthew 26:42)

Who could imagine the cup of Sin that Jesus drank into His sinless

 body and soul?  It was vile and evil, the dregs of Sin

Can any take up their cross and follow Him in suffering and pain,

 as a sacrifice of praise?  It's the same now as then

Will mankind surrender to their Redeemer and accept His offering

 of blood to save their souls?  It's a matter of Will

When will earth yield to its Ruler and leave the claws of evil, for

 the cloak of righteousness?  It requires a fill and seal

Does anyone look up and see the times and seasons are drawing all

 mankind to the cross of Jesus?  It's a last final call

Will it take disaster, trouble, and thunder to move creation to its

 Creator before it's too late?  It will or they'll fall

What can Almighty God do in this hour of blatant Sin and evil, to

 reach the honest hearts and souls?  It takes a Revival

Why would humans choose Hell over Heaven, when they know the

choice is theirs to make?  It's a blind eye to survival

Don't all people know the price has been paid, and the Cup was

 consumed for their salvation?  It's ignorance of the time

Can't the Church, the Bride, hasten the date to gather the seed to
 the final count?  It's a search for the hungry kind

Where is that last one, who will speak in Spirit and set the shofar to

 the waiting Angel's lips?   It's a race against the clock

How can "dust" not know that its Maker is breathing the last fire

 into sod that 'are' aware?  It's wind from the Rock

Who will witness about the Savior, the Cup, the Cross, baptism in

  His name, and infilling of His Spirit?  It's a command

What can hinder the last hour Victory  for The Holy One of Israel's
  last stand?  It was "done" with nails in the hands

Can the saints rejoice in this end time of terror, since we know who

 Wins and who Won on the cross?  It's an Amen, Amen

Why don't we raise our swords, arm our beings, and mount up for

  the War is almost over?  It IS I AM now, as it was then

Would all the nations come now to the feet of Jesus Christ, in real

 repentance and sorrow for all Sin?  It's time now to sup

Can you feel His presence, His love, His hovering, over those He

 calls His own?  It's because He drank "The Cup!"

"Walk Through The Open Door"

Look up, O weary saint of almighty God, for the Lord has

 opened the heavens; breathe in His Glory  

You are His shining vessel, filled with His power, walking in

 His beauty, and you are now worthy

  Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, washed clean by His

 name and His Word; you stand tall in His light  

"Come out from among them," says the Lord, "and be separate 

 unto me;" climb higher with all of your might

For you are chosen and called out, holy and mighty in power 

and wonders, used in the portals of aura

You are no longer in the lowlands of despair, you have reached 

 the apex above the bitter waters of mara

It was a climb on your knees, fasting and praying for light to come, and I AM here, now, lifting you from darkness.  You have entered a new dimension, beyond your last glory, and your air is lighter; your joy is unharnessed.  The valley had you bound, but when your hands reached over the crag, you felt the newness and the beauty. Your strong endurance brought you here, with your sword and your armor; you went beyond the call of duty.

There are mysteries to unfold, exploits to render, and the Word 

to perform among the Nations for the Lord

It's a New Day, a new aroma in the portals of the Lord's presence, 

 and it's time for a New mindset and a New chord

The angels are restless, the trumpets are tuning, the hoofs are pawing, and the Lord searches to and fro.  He's looking for those who climb higher, who dig deeper, who see further, and who crave stronger; the Lord's mind they seek to know.  A matter of the heart, it is, of those who weep alone, those who strum their songs to the Lord, in soulful tones. They are those who stalk Him in the night, begging to converse, as He arrives swiftly, responding to their groans.  It's hunger like no other, that is born in the Spirit and fed by the brook.  Only those who leave earth's confines can enter that dimension and take a look. 

It's all about the God of Glory wanting a soulmate to walk with 

 Him on waters, and go where no man has gone

Foregoing the earthly pleasures, and traverse another world in 

measure, with the Lord in the early dawn  

 It's simple, you see; the lover of man's soul longs for one to war

 with Vision, and See with sound, a paradoxical story 

It is of God Almighty "in earth as it is in heaven" with His

  creation, and taking him from Glory to Glory

                           

It's all about entering that place, forging through a dimension,

with hunger; it's The Master's coercion for more

Then, God responds, that fervent prayers have brought the essence

of His presence, so "Walk Through The Open Door."
