Jesus brought heaven to earth, fulfilled time, law and prophesy. Just as the Good Father told his religious son who resented his wayward younger brother who left, squandered everything, came back and was restored as a son and celebrated, “Son, you are ALWAYS with me, and ALL that is mine IS YOURS” (Luke 15:31) We have to take by faith what has already been given to us! Jesus said, “It is finished” on the cross as sin and death were defeated; and ascended, glorified Christ Jesus said, “It is done! Behold I make ALL things new!” when he finished his work in 70 AD with the total destruction of the external temple so WE could be the new temples of God!!!!!!! “Come; for ALL is NOW ready” (Luke 14:17) All we have to do is COME and TAKE! (Revelation 22:17) Partake with Joy!!!!!!!
For those of you who say it isn’t finished I give you the Word, “His works were FINISHED from the foundation of the world” (Hebrews 4:3). We have two choices: believe the promise and enter His rest: old 7th day rest and new 3rd day rest, the new heaven and new earth as a bride, OR live in unbelief (unrest/dis-ease). “Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest REMAINS, let us fear lest any of you be judged to have FAILED TO REACH IT. For GOOD NEWS came to us JUST AS TO THEM; but the message which they heard DID NOT BENEFIT THEM, because it did not meet with faith in the hearers. For WE WHO HAVE BELIEVED ENTER THAT REST” Hebrews 4:1-4!!!!!!!
“Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, again he sets a CERTAIN DAY, ‘Today,’ ” Hebrews 4:6-7
“Today is the Day; Now is the time”
It is ALWAYS “today,” the Day of Christ, the day of decision in the valley to turn from the world system, the beast system of the knowledge of good and evil (satan’s tree), to the Creator of heaven and earth and His Lamb (the tree of life beyond good and evil above the highest heavens) and TAKE IT ALL and live in His REST with His Holy Spirit upon and within you interpreting spiritual Truth to you, training your senses and faculties to discern good from evil, battling for you and doing the work and greater work THROUGH you!
“Strive to enter THAT REST” Hebrews 4:11 “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL things are given to you” Matthew 6:33
“Those with unbelief that his works were finished from the foundation of the world shall never enter my rest” Hebrews 4:3-5
The Good News does not benefit those who doubt it, fear it, don’t believe it therefore don’t TAKE IT as their own, or believe the lies of the world instead of the Word, Christ who remains forever! The saddest part is the religious who teach the lie of satan disguised as light, religious leaders who have the mindset of lucifer instead of Christ’s mind and consciousness, believe the lie instead of the Truth, or worship created “gods” instead of the Creator.
There is an entire BANQUET (Psalm 23), the GREAT DINNER (Luke 14:15-24), the MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB (Revelation 19:7-9), laid out on banquet tables IN THE MIDST OF YOUR ENEMIES, but if you do not COME and TAKE IT you will be like the older brother resenting and bitter about those who are “eating of the tree of life in the paradise of God” (Rev 2:7) in heavenly places WITH Christ. If you believe the voice of the deceiver you will not think you deserve it or have to work to be good enough, suffer to get it AFTER you die or make excuses why you can’t come NOW (Luke 14:18). The Way is narrow and few find it; religion is a wide gate and the way is easy: just show up and follow the religion. The Way requires giving up your living body to be filled with Holy Spirit and fire that destroys all that is antichrist in you to form Christ within (trials and tests to refine, purify and make your soul white), letting go of what you thought you knew (the way of the world and your own understanding that leads to destruction), to be taught within by the anointing, Christ in you, to become pure gold!
“The promises of the LORD are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground (earth), purified seven times” Psalm 12:6
Promises are silver; fulfilled promises are pure GOLD! Christ in you is all the fulfilled promises of God in you!!!!!!!
“For I will be to her a wall of fire round about, says the LORD, and I will be the glory within her” Zechariah 2:5
When Christ makes His Home in you, you become “a single stone with seven facets, engraved with Christ” (Zechariah 3:9) wearing His fire light, His glory within you!
“Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God’s sight chosen and precious; and like living stones be yourselves BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE” 1 Peter 2:4
The Victor has won, and heaven has come! Partake!!!!!!! Glorious and Victorious!!!!!!!
New Heaven on Earth! 
Yes!
Be calm and live the forth🌞🌻

What you focus on, pay attention to, notice, stay awake and alert to, or behold, YOU BECOME! New study of wine sommeliers show their brain changes to detect subtleties in wine. In the same manner, when we become attuned, aware, awakened, alert, watchful, attentive to Christ IN US our brain changes! When we change our minds and start paying attention to the things of the Spirit we become what we behold! “As He is so are we in the world” “Awake and RECEIVE!” Take what has already been made POSSIBLE in Christ in God in YOU!

I always find with your posts a genuine uplift. I also appreciate the passion for the fullness of Christ and the Union He has for the one who will be His bride.
I would like to help a bit with some perspectives if you may. I used to think exactly this way, that EVERYTHING IS NOW (almost) available and ours in Christ. I am quite more informed in recent years that there are things that appear in scripture to be a NOW thing, but they are NOW in that they are already laid up in store as the promises that are assured to His bride.
The clincher I want to share, is that many of the things pertaining to the bride, like the marriage supper of the Lamb as a very obvious one, are NOT NOW. We may feast upon Him now, and taste and eat of Him, but I also know by experience, and a degree of insight, that much is really promise to be lived unto, but a taste is but for the Now. To not realize this, turns the message of the Lord into unrealized hype dreams, that few will continue juicing up on for long in expectations that it will be fulfilled in fullness the moment I just believe or pray the super duper consecratory prayer that will do it all, and whalla, I’m in the glory land. I haven’t found it so, not after many decades of pressing in.
If it were so, there would be no constant exhortation to endure to the end, for there would be nothing to endure through, or unto.
So what I appreciate in your posts, is the exhortation to know Him in the most realized amount we can daily, and that we come to further increase as we find ourselves living not out of self, but genuinely in Christ, not out of self centered ideals that we often mistakenly adapt the gospel to in our best wishes.
So all we end up with is a passion for Him, that is ever increasing as we press on. But if we let up on our deep seeking and relating to Him, what little we now have, even that is quickly compromised.
There is so much awaiting the bride, so much. WE must press on to the fullness. Just believing it’s all ours with no cross or wilderness in between these longs seasons that are of neccessity in our development into a deeply worked over and worked through qualified bride.
Not all endure, not all even are interested in being without spot or wrinkle. Fewer even than that have a love for Him that will go past self indulgent exhortations based on long term promises, to take them like the Shulamite, from self centeredness, and even through the long wilderness, and come out leaning upon He whom she now truly is. Not in promise only, not in hope only, not in my best wishes but because she has truly laid down all for HIm, and He has become her ALL. She who has done all, even love of self for the love she truly has for Him, will come one day, out of the wilderness of this life, leaning upon her beloved.
This whole life is a wilderness here. To make it sound like it’s heavens full promise or even close to it on earth, is just not the case.
Sincerely, Kelly

Now AND is to come. The table is set “in the midst of our enemies” “come for now ALL IS READY”. The ball is in our court: believe and received; or stay in unbelief and focus on the world instead of the kingdom that Jesus brought to earth. Jesus said, “some here will not taste death before they see the kingdom and the Son coming in glory with his angels” If there were some in Jesus’ generation, John the beloved for instance, then there have been some in every generation, including now and is to come! When God sent his Holy Spirit and fire upon me, breathed me, moved me and lifted me up, yes, caught me up, I don’t know if I was in my body or not, when I returned to normal consciousness, I was changed. As I was taken immediately into the wilderness I had to learn to stay yoked with Christ Jesus to learn from him directly, to receive REST for my soul (mind, heart and will). The Holy Spirit convicted me of sin, washed, regenerated and reformed my “clay” as I grew and matured and learned and was TAUGHT by Christ’s anointing, his Spirit of Truth, and my life changed from a desert to a garden oasis in the Paradise of God. I do not live in the wilderness for “the Holy Spirit and the High Priest FOREVER pray unceasingly inside me” (Romans 8:26-35) “asking that I am continuously FILLED with the knowledge of his will in ALL spiritual wisdom and understanding, to lead a life WORTHY of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, BEARING FRUIT in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. I am strengthened DAILY with ALL POWER, according to HIS GLORIOUS MIGHT, for ALL ENDURANCE and patience with Joy, giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the inheritance of the saints in light. He HAS DELIVERED me from the dominion of darkness and TRANSFERRED me to the kingdom of his Beloved Son in whom we have REDEMPTION, the forgiveness of sin” (Colossians 1:9-14). God is no respecter of persons; what he did for one he will do for all! ONLY our Father knows the time and date when each individual will be RIPE for the Holy Spirit and fire baptism of Jesus. “Christ in you, the hope of glory” “the hidden mystery revealed, hidden for ages and generations, but REVEALED by Jesus the Christ. The Potter makes some vessels for glory and some for wrath. In the end all evil will be in the lake of fire and all his people with be filled with his glory fire of life! No one knows when he will physically come again for HIS SPOTLESS BRIDE. God bless you!

One other important piece: on the spiritual level there is NO TIME NOR SPACE therefore when we really BELIEVE, having conquered UNBELIEF, knowing and experiencing union, or being yoked, being joined with the Lord becoming one Spirit with Him, we ARE in heavenly places WITH HIM spiritually while our body is on earth physically. In Christ there is NO wilderness!

We endure living in a dark world with thick darkness upon her people until the end of the world or when our time on earth is done and we enter our permanent glory body above the highest heavens with our Father. Now and is to come, we live the “future and hope” God plans for us: live in Christ, Christ in us, on earth as “the Light of the world” as Jesus said we are as he is “the Light of the world” and we have the Comforter and Helper, Holy Spirit, to KEEP US COMFORTED so we can be a comfort for those we encounter who are hurting, oppressed, grieving, sick, in prison, broken hearted,etc. But not only comfort but to do the works Jesus did, heal, deliver and set free (Mark 16) while KNOWING NOTHING CAN HURT US for we are NOT OF THE WORLD ANY LONGER IN CHRIST. We are living in Christ, in his Kingdom, power and glory while on earth when Christ is in us. There is no marriage in heaven; our spiritual marriage with Christ is ON EARTH to be as he is to those who are still dead, asleep or demonically oppressed.
