Dear Bro. John:
The Lord leaves such a depth of satisfaction in the soul when he visits.
This morning, I had a dream of people of all cultures getting married in all sorts of different ways and different ceremonies all around the world. As the dream ended and I was awakening, it was as though an angel of the Lord and I had just observed all that was happening in these scenes, and he immediately began teaching me why what we had just seen was so wrong. This is what I heard in the Spirit from the conversation the angel was having with me:
“That’s why this marriage issue is so important to God. It represents who HE is. Heaven is not full of ceremonies. It is full of LIFE! When God puts two living beings together that’s who He is — LIFE! Dead people celebrate death with dead ceremonies; God celebrates LIFE with two LIVING beings and NO ceremonies. That’s who He is – – LIFE!”
I knew that “living beings” meant those who had God’s Spirit, and that “dead people” were those without His Spirit. As I thought on the richness of what I had just heard, the Lord kept sending wonderful thoughts my way.
When God gave His Son to die and then sent back His Spirit, Jesus was the end of all symbols God used. Jesus was the last of the sacrificial lambs used by God on earth to atone for the sins of mankind. By his death, Jesus put all other symbols to death. As the Lord once told me: “Symbolism is NOT Me!” I understood what he said to me better today than I did when he spoke it the first time! Jesus was the last sacrificial sign of earthly ceremony. It was not Jesus who spoke that day when I heard, “Symbolism is NOT Me!” Those words came from the Son of God who represents Life, not symbol nor ceremony. Whatever does not represent Life does not represent God nor His Son.
It has been good to my soul all day long to think this one thought: Jesus was the end of all symbols and his sacrifice put all symbols to death.
See you soon,
Sandy
