THE BLESSING OF THE LORD AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD !

THE BLESSING OF THE LORD AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD ! The angels who gathered around to serve them world spiritual beings, yet Adam and his wife could see and interact with them. They could look at God and touch Him when he Came to walk with them in the Garden. They could hear His voice as clearly as they heard the birds singing. But, when they sinned and spiritual death set in, that changed. They found themselves trapped below the light line and confined to the natural world. In the 6,000 years that have passed since then, people have become accustomed to that confinement. Many have even come to believe that the visible realm is all that exists. They deny any reality they can perceive with their natural senses or see with their natural eyes. But those of us who are born again children of God no differently because our re-created spirits are in constant contact with the heavenly realm. However, there is a phrase that is called carnal, and the carnal Christian, are more geared to the natural realm of what is called reality. We may not be able to see that realm with our natural eyes, but with the eye of faith we live, looking ". . . Not it the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal (temporary, or subject to change); but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:18). They never change. We live, looking forward to the day when we will exchange our temporary, earthly bodies for permanently glorified ones that are like the one Jesus has now. If you've read the New Testament, you know that He has an inperishable, resurrected body----a body with the very glory of God the Father flowing through its veins, a body that is both spiritual and material, and that operates equally well on both sides of the light line. In His glorified body, Jesus can move at will from the Spirit realm to the natural realm. He can appear on earth, as He did to His disciples, seemingly out of thin air, and then vanish as quickly as He came. In his second advent, every eyes will see Him in his second coming to judge the world. Yet, He is no ghosts. His body is as real and physical as yours and mine. "Behold my hands and my feet." He said to His disciples, "for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me have. That's where all who have made Jesus THE LORD of our lives are headed. We are marching towards the day when we come too, will have bodies as alive as our reborn spirits; bodies no longer try by the natural effects of the Fall. We are moving toward the time when, clothed inside and outside with the glory of God as Adam and his wife once was, we can live, for ever, in the full spectrum of divine light.
