I ask you, what is the difference between "man-made stones", and Living, Breathing, Pulsating "Stones"? Stones that have been made "alive" by the power of an "endless life", in an "incorruptible seed" in JESUS CHRIST!!! Stones made for His Glory, His Ways, His Truth, His Marvelous Life!!! To reflect the Glory of the Father, through the SON,
JESUS CHRIST!!! Made in His Image, His Likeness, Living, Breathing, Pulsating Stones, filled with the Spirit of Life Himself, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of the Living Word, the Spirit of the Living God!!! The Holy One of Israel!!!
Many times we hear it said, that the Old Testament contains many "types and shadows", of the New Testament!!! The Old Testament bearing witness of Temples, and endless sacrifices, making way for a better Way, a Way for those of a New Covenant, in which the blood of a SON, a sacrificial LAMB, who laid down His Life, in order that those that would believe, would receive of a life that was eternal, in fact would receive "the power of an endless life", through the death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST!!!
We who believe in the Power of His Name, the Power of His Purpose, the Power of the Blood that was shed, and in the Power of His Resurrection, the Precious Lamb that slain, that we might receive forgiveness, and receive the Holy Spirit, the SPIRIT of TRUTH, manifesting the Grace and Knowledge of JESUS CHRIST!!! To lead us into the TRUTH!!!! Revealing the Father through the SON, by the Power of His SPIRIT!!!
As the Water becomes Wine, New Life, New Wine, Fresh Manna, the Rich Meat of the Word is given unto us that we might KNOW HIM in the Power of His Resurrection, and the Fellowship of His Sufferings, being made conformable unto His Death. What does this mean? What does this involve for those who are being molded into His Image and Likeness? What are those "inner workings" of His Spirit, even the Spirit of Truth, which now indwells us by the Spirit of His Word? For does not the Word declare "My Words are Spirit and Life"? It is the Word that "keeps" us! It is His Word that "quickens" us, by the Power of His Spirit that "indwells" us!!!
No longer are we to worship in the "old" ways, in temples built with hands, or man-made stones, for we are the temple of His Spirit, we are those "Living Stones", Living, Breathing, Pulsating Stones, that are a part of the ROCK OF THE AGES HIMSELF, THE ROCK OF TRUTH, IN JESUS CHRIST!!! "Ye also, as lively stones are built up into a spritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Christ Jesus." 1 Peter 2:5 This is a Living, Abiding Truth, even a ROCK upon which we can stand!!! A Living Word, not a dead word that has no life, but a Living Word, in which He is the LIFE!!! A Word that quickens our mortal man, gives Life and Breath to what is "dead mans bones", raises us up in Resurrection Power, gives understanding to the meek, revelation to the poor in spirit, and causes a division between "soul" and "spirit", and then "marries our will" to His!!! Our will becomes His Will!!! "NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE!!! We lose our wills, to be found in His!!! The Mansion of Truth! The Mansion of Faith!! The Mansion of Our Fathers' WILL!!! Fully clothed in Him!!! Fully clothed in the "understanding" of His thoughts, His Mind, His Word, His Revelation!!! The unveiling if you will, of JESUS CHRIST, the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST!!! The sweet mystery revealed, "CHRIST IN US, THE HOPE OF GLORY"!!!
"JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF HIS GLORY!!!" What a DAY to declare His GLORY!!! His GLORY alone!!! A firm and a solid foundation of the Mansion of His Will!!! The veritable Mansion of His Truth!!! The SONG of SONGS Himself, a many membered Body of those who have taken on His NAME! THE NAME OF NAMES, JESUS CHRIST!!! For every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!! For truly He is the New Song of the New Day! A Day in which "His Mercies are New every morning, and great is His Faithfulness for those who believe!!!"
The Living Word that became flesh and dwelt among us, JESUS CHRIST, SON of the Living God!!! His WORD, which is His WILL, abiding IN us! His TRUTH, His WISDOM, His WAYS, His PURPOSE, His WILL!!! Renewing our minds to His MIND!!! THE MIND OF CHRIST! THE WORD OF GOD!! THE INCORRUPTIBLE SEED OF THE LIVING WORD OF HOPE, THE LIVING WORD OF FAITH, which is the substance of things unseen, the veritable mainstay of our FAITH, in the SON OF GOD, yet SON OF MAN!!! Oh, the magnificance of His WAYS past finding out, for who has known the MIND of the FATHER, yea, I say it again, who has known the MIND of the FATHER, for does not the spirit searcheth all things, yea, even the deep things of God, and yet we have the MIND OF CHRIST, even the Word that quickens and makes alive, and translates us out of the Kingdom of Darkness, into the Kingdom of His Dear SON, JESUS CHRIST, that we might transcend the darkness of souls grown dark through the iniquity that "self", even I say unto you, "self-diluted" thoughts, instead of a better way, a better covenant, a covenant that brings us into an "awareness" or "understanding" that there is a ROCK that is so much "higher" than I. A ROCK that is SURE! A ROCK that is SOLID, and yet a ROCK in which a RIVER OF LIFE is contained, in which out of it pours a "sweet substance" that brings "healing", a ROCK that brings, a sustenance of a LIFE, even I say to you, a RESURRECTION Power that heals, delivers, and sets free, catapulting one on to the GLORY of the RISEN LAMB, of the LION of the TRIBE of JUDAH!! Declaring the end from the beginning, the beginning from the end!!! The ALPHA and OMEGA Himself, the LIVING WORD, establishing the TRUTH from the deceit of the carnal or fleshly man.
I ask you, who shall sit on the throne of your heart, shall it be the Hidden Man of the Heart, CHRIST JESUS, your LORD, or shall it be the "son of perdition", who sets himself up as God, in the temple of his GOD, saying that "he is GOD!!! Oh no, may it never be, for only the ONE who died, and rose that we might LIVE, that we might "know Him in the power of His resurrection, in the fellowhip of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death." JESUS CHRIST!!!
There must be a discerning in this His DAY. A discerning of ONE LIFE, ONE WAY, ONE TRUTH, ONE VOICE. His "sheep" follow ONE VOICE among the many of this DAY, this SEASON, this HOUR!!! A Voice calling out to His own to "COME HOME"! COME HOME
to the one and only TRUTH!!! The FATHER of TRUTH, in which there most assuredly is no variableness or shadow of turning. Allow the ROCK of the AGES, the ROCK of SALVATION, the ROCK of TRUTH, establish you in "all of your ways"!!! A ROCK of a SOLID FOUNDATION, in which you can firmly plant your feet, and not cause you to flounder in all of yours ways. A ROCK in which you can see with clarity the WILL of the FATHER of ALL TRUTH! Not just some TRUTH, not the confusion of a double-minded man, unstable in all of his ways. Not a house that has been built on sinking sands, but a MANSION of His WILL, where we STAND on TRUTH, and TRUTH, alone, JESUS CHRIST!!!
He is our "inheritance" or "portion in this life"!!! As His Will becomes our Will, the invisible becomes visible, death is swallowed up in LIFE, and we see Him as HE is!!! The ALPHA and OMEGA of our very own life!!! We are translated, and I say unto you again, we are translated out of darkness into His Marvelous LIGHT!!! Able to leap over tall mountains of discouragement and despair, for He has given us "hinds feet" in "high places", enabling us to do His WILL, and LOVE once again is established upon and IN our hearts. For has not the LOVE of CHRIST JESUS our LORD, been shed in our hearts, that we might know the LOVE of the FATHER, through the SON, in fact, the very height, and depth, and length and width of His LOVE toward us, as His own.
We are His treasure, bought and paid for by the "blood" of the LAMB!!! Redeemed from among men. JESUS CHRIST, SON of the LIVING GOD, the LIVING, BREATHING, PULSATING ONE who died that we might LIVE!!! Oh, the JOY that remains as we gaze upon a FACE that dwells within our hearts, our thoughts, or minds, as they have been cleansed, through the washing of the WORD, regenerated if you will, through the "cleansing" of the WATER of the WORD, turned to WINE, FINE WINE, AGED WINE, a WINE of a flavor, even of a scent
not of this world, NEW WINE, for the old was passing, the old way, of trying to KEEP the LAW of our own selves, trying to establish our "selves", instead of losing our "selves" that He might be found!!! Our hearts made new, soft, and pliable, ready and fit for the Masters' use.
Yet adopted as "sons" of our FATHER, the FATHER of all spirits, and TRUTH!!! The FATHER of all LIGHT, being glorified IN us, and us IN HIM!!! A TEMPLE of LIVING STONES!!! A veritable TEMPLE in the LIVING CITY of the NEW JERUSALEM, the city SET
ON A HILL, MT. ZION, CITY OF THE LIVING GOD, CITY OF THE
KING!!!
"For I would say unto you My own, sons and daughters of the LIVING WORD OF TRUTH, look no longer for the outward manifestation, of temples of man-made stones, but look for the "substance of faith", the substance of things "unseen", and you shall declare My WILL, for you shall see with the "eyes of the spirit", and hear with the "ears of the spirit", and discern my Living Truth, even the Mansion of My WILL, that you have become a Living RIVER, flowing out of a LIVING ROCK, as LIVING STONES, even as NEW WINE unto the DAY, even unto the nations, peoples and tongues!!!" For "flames of fire" you shall be, FLAMES OF THE LIVING GOD! FLAMES OF THE LIVING TRUTH!! FLAMES OF THE NEW JER-U-SA-LEM!!!
The city that has been established from the ROCK of TRUTH Himself!!!
THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL!!!"
In Him, Catherine Heim
