“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

2 Corinthians 2: 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah

If we are delivered from Egypt there is none like you O Lord

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated regarding how our Lord Jesus Christ who put on an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, establishes His kingdom, the one which shall not be destroyed, in our soul and reigns in us.

Among the holy ones in the Old Testament, God gave Daniel a dream; and God is telling in Daniel 8: 26 “And the vision of the evenings and mornings which was told is true; Therefore, seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future.”

God is telling Daniel to seal up this vision. The reason is that for it to be fulfilled it will take many days in the future.

Also, in Daniel 12: 4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Then Daniel sees two people standing on the two shores of the riverbank in a dream.

Daniel 12: 6, 7 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”

Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time;

God is telling Daniel till the time of the end keep these words closed and sealed up as a treasure. God did not lead the holy people of the Old Testament according to the meaning of this dream in their lives. It was sealed.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is worthy to break this seal. It shall be for a time. Till that time this will be kept as a treasure.

What this shows is that we are a book. It is sealed.  This shows that till the time that the person who is worthy to break the seal comes, the vision will be hidden.

That is what, God is revealing to John in the island of Patmos in Revelation 4: 2 – 5  Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 

And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones, I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 

And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 

The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

My dear people, the things which are written in the above mentioned verses, shows how our Lord Jesus Christ who opens our soul, enters our soul, establishes his throne and he is a God who shines from within us.

If Christ shines in our soul in this manner, he will destroy all the darkness which is present in our soul.

Exodus 15: 11 “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

If God destroys the deeds of Egypt with his power from our soul, the sound that there is no one like you O Lord will be arising from our soul.

That is why, in Revelation 4: 8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

All these things are the sound of praising God once the soul is strengthened. How this comes is that only when the beasts in our heart are being destroyed our soul will receive the life of Christ.

God is showing these things as a pattern in Egypt in the middle of the people of Israel.

Exodus 15: 12, 13 You stretched out Your right hand; the earth swallowed them.

You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed; You have guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.

God will make Philistia, Edom, Moab, Canaan such kind of deeds of the Gentiles to melt away.

Fear and dread will fall on them; by the greatness of Your arm they will be as still as a stone, Till Your people pass over, O Lord, Till the people pass over whom You have purchased.

You will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which You have made for Your own dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

“The Lord shall reign forever and ever.”

For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

In this manner the Israelites sang meaning in our life, in order for all the beasts that rise up against our soul to be afraid, God saves us by his right hand and reigns us with his arm and removes all the things which God does not please in, from us and will plant us in the holy place which is in Christ.

My dear people, let us find the experience of being planted. Let us all pray and submit ourselves.

May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
