Dear Bro. John:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord leaves such a depth of satisfaction in the soul when he visits.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 This is what I heard in the Spirit from the conversation the angel was having with me:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why this marriage issue is so important to God.\u00a0 It represents who HE is.\u00a0 Heaven is not full of ceremonies.\u00a0 It is full of LIFE!\u00a0 When God puts two living beings together that\u2019s who He is — LIFE!\u00a0 Dead people celebrate death with dead ceremonies; God celebrates LIFE with two LIVING beings and NO ceremonies.\u00a0 That\u2019s who He is – – LIFE!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I knew that “living beings” meant those who had God’s Spirit, and that “dead people” were those without His Spirit.\u00a0 As I thought on the richness of what I had just heard, the Lord kept sending wonderful thoughts my way.<\/span><\/p>\n

When God gave His Son to die and then sent back His Spirit, Jesus was the end of all symbols God used.\u00a0 Jesus was the last of the sacrificial lambs used by God on earth to atone for the sins of mankind.\u00a0 By his death, Jesus put all other symbols to death.\u00a0 As the Lord once told me:\u00a0 \u201cSymbolism is NOT Me!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 I understood what he said to me better today than I did when he spoke it the first time!\u00a0 Jesus was the last sacrificial sign of earthly ceremony.\u00a0 It was not Jesus who spoke that day when I heard, \u201cSymbolism is NOT Me!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Those words came from the Son of God who represents Life, not symbol nor ceremony.\u00a0 Whatever does not represent Life does not represent God nor His Son.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been good to my soul all day long to think this one thought:\u00a0 Jesus was the end of all symbols and his sacrifice put all symbols to death.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

See you soon,
\nSandy<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.<\/span>
