Mark 12:34a "When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God".
When you know in your heart that you love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your understanding, and with all your strength, and then you love your neighbor as yourself, you have passed from this kingdom to the spiritual kingdom of God. To the kingdom where my King dwells. In me, in you. When this love flows throughout your heart for our Lord, and there is no separating of who He is and who you are in Him, you are dwelling in the spiritual kingdom of God.
I know on Whom I believe; I know Who it is that I love with all my heart; I know that my God dwells in me, loving me, so loving me. My King is my life. He is the truest friend I will ever know; He is the gentle touch on my arm as He guides me in His Light; He is the sweet voice that tells me that He loves me, even when I feel I have disappointed Him, He reminds me that He loves me; He is the lover of my soul. In His kingdom, my spirit dwells, even while I am walking this earth, my spirit dwells in His kingdom. Softly, He calls me to walk with Him as I seek His face, as I look for Him when I awake in the morning, He is not far. As I drive to work, He sits beside me, He listens as I sing my songs of worship to Him, as I pour my love on Him, as I pray in the heavenly tongue He has given me; He sits beside me and pours His love back onto me.
My Lord, how I love You; how I love to sing Your praises; to worship You with my whole heart. You are my King, and I, your adoring servant. I just want to sit at Your feet and listen to Your words of knowledge, the wisdom You impart to me, the encouraging words You give me when I need them most. I love You, my King, I love You. You are all I will ever need, You are certainly all I will ever want. My hand in Yours, my eyes forever on You, my King, You and I; yes, my King and I.

WHEN HEAVEN COMES DOWN
Job 27:3 "....as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils..."
Many times I have felt the presence of my Lord, around me, with me, in me. But never more than last night at the Glory Explosion in Dallas. Close your eyes a moment, and come with me, walk into a room filled with people, the air heavy with expectation, and hear the music, the heart of the worshiper singing, "Dance with me, O, Lover of my soul", and begin to experience His glory.
As I walked up to where I was to sit, I stood there and began to sing with the music, "Dance with me, O Lover of my soul, Dance with me". And then feel yourself being lifted from your body as your spirit began to dance with the King, softly floating along, not caring about anything other than the One holding your hand.
The worshipers changed at the keyboard, was the moment over? No, the Presence was still there, quietly, waiting to see what would take place. Would the moment be broken, would the mood change, would the Bride look away from Him? No, the Bride was intent on bringing honor to her Lord, her God, her Bridegroom. Worship began again and the fragrance began to fill the room. The joyful fragrance of the Lord began to sweetly fill my nostrils as I stood worshiping. When time to sit came, I could not smell the fragrance as well, but as soon as I stood again to worship, it was there, that sweet, sweet smell of the Lord's love flowing all around His Bride as they worshiped.
Heaven comes down only when there is true worship, a true spirit of love and adoration being lifted up from the earthly choir of saints, the Lord's chosen, those chosen to worship with all their hearts, those chosen to be partakers of the wedding feast of Jesus and His Bride. Heaven comes down in all His glory when He is beckoned with the love expression of His Bride. Heaven comes down to fill her heart with joy and fullness.
Heaven came down last night. As I breathed in that sweetness of my Lord, I knew it would be a night I would remember for a long time, probably until I become part of the Bride. The wonderful part of this experience is that I know that each time I, alone, or as a part of the earthly choir of worshipers, He will come again, He will pour out His glory, He will fill His Bride with His fullness and joy, His fragrant love will fill us and cause our cup to overflow onto all those we come in contact with. You can be a part of this glory, it takes but a heartfelt flow of love, that new song coming from deep within your soul, flowing up to glorify the God of heaven, the Lover of our souls.

AFRAID TO ENTER
Psalm 63:1a "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you...."
Does your mind throw up a stop sign in front of you when the Holy Spirit draws you, beckons you to enter into the presence of the Lord? As you worship, pouring your heart of love out to the Lord, drawing so near, do you get so far and then stop for fear of what the Lord will see.....does the enemy taunt you with words that make you feel you will be rejected by God?
The Word tells us "Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise...". The Lord says to us "Come unto Me, I will give you rest...". If the Holy Spirit is drawing you, to come near to the Lord, then He knows you are ready, your heart is right, you have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus of all your sins. The Holy Spirit will not compel you to come until He has shown you if there is any unclean thing in your heart that you need to repent of; He will help you deal with all things that would hinder you from the Lord's presence. Then as you begin to worship the Lord, from your heart, singing a new song of love and adoration, the Holy Spirit will draw you into the presence of the Lord. DO NOT LET your mind....do not let any thoughts be present except the thoughts of being in the presence of the Lord. He has been waiting for this moment. The enemy will do whatever he can to prevent your connecting with God in this intimate way. Do not pay any attention to negative thoughts....just enter in; sing, worship, praise the Lord. Let His love wash you in joy, let His touch fill you with peace, let His fragrance penetrate your soul so you can never forget what His presence is like. Your soul, your heart will long to be in His presence always. Your heart's desire will draw you to return again and again to His throne room.
Your worship, your prayers will intensify as your prayer becomes that of a child wanting to be held by the Father; you will rejoice and just sing your heart's adoration to Him. Sing, praise, dance before the King. How He loves your attention.
So sad I feel when I hear people say they have never experienced the presence, that beautiful presence of the Lord, and I can see the longing in their eyes....hear it in their words and know in my heart they are afraid. Some are afraid of the change it will make in their lives. You know how some people are truly afraid to give their all, to relinquish control of their lives. O Lord, what they are missing. What joy they forsake, all from fear....of being truly Yours.
Let me stay, Lord, my God, my King....let me stay in Your presence forever. Let me live inside Your courts, worship at Your feet and let me know that the manifest presence of my Creator is with me, drawing me, holding me, loving me.....eternally.

OPEN DOOR POLICY
James 4:8 "Come near to God and He will come near to you."
Every one I believe has heard their boss or someone else, say they have an open door policy. This is suppose to mean that you can come in any time you want to and discuss any problems you might have. Have you found this to be true? For the most part, I have only had rare experiences where this was fact. And still I hear this, and find myself knowing that they really do not care to hear how I feel about something, or my thoughts on how things are going, or if I have a problem....what do I expect them to do about it? Sad....but true. However, I do know of One whose "open door policy" is true and just.
My Lord and God has told me, He has told you to come near to Him and He will come near to me and you. And He means it. My Lord is interested in what I have to say; He cares about my problems and He will never ask me what I expect Him to do about it. He knows just what I need Him to do, and if I am in His will, if I have come to Him, lovingly, asking with an open heart, He will do what I ask. If I am faithful to my God, He will always be faithful to me.
There is nothing that can happen that the Lord is not interested in, concerning my life, or your life. He wants us to come to Him and tell Him every detail of our day, the good, the bad and the ugly. He will gently guide us through the process of filtering out those things that we should let go of, those things that seemed so hurtful and we want to hold on to them and fret over them; stress over them; but that is not our Lord's way. He wants us to let go of those things, give them right over to Him and let Him replace all that hurt and stress with His sweet love. Our Lord wants us to tell Him the exciting things that happened, our successes, the joy of the day....yes, He knows what all happened but He loves us to come and tell Him about it, in our words, with our hearts communing with His. It totally makes His day, and when you are with the Lord, in His beautiful presence, it will totally make your day also. I know it makes mine. When I am in the presence of the Lord, all the things that went wrong during the day, they just slip away, unnoticed and meaningless. What could they possibly matter when you are in the magnificent presence of our Holy God. What could be more wonderful than to visit with the Lord at the end of each day, and let Him sift through those things of your day and wash away all the things that have no real value in us, and leave us with the things of Him that give us such joy and peace.
The Open Door.....of the Lord is one you will definitely want to go through each night before your rest. The Lord will pour His love into you and you will be so relaxed that you will sleep just like a baby....for you will rest in the Father's arms, as He holds you close, His child, His beloved child. You love Him so much, you enter into His door each night....He always leaves it open, and His Light is always on.

GRACE TO FORGIVE
Matthew 6:12 "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors."
Forgiving is sometimes very difficult. Just when I think I have no unforgiveness in me, something will spring up.....I can assure you it is not myself that has brought this up, but my Lord, through His Spirit, His Holy Spirit, my dearest Friend, who has caused these things to surface. And I think to myself, I am sure I have forgiven all.....but as the Lord shows me, if I think of these things, of what was done, if those things still cause me pain, then I have not completely forgiven them. When you truly forgive, when there is no longer any unforgiveness in a situation, the pain of what happened will be gone and although there may be sadness when it comes to mind, and trust me, the enemy will see that it comes to mind, but after the completed work of forgiveness through the grace of our Lord, these things will no longer affect you. You will think perhaps of them for a moment, and the response will be, "Thank You, Lord, for Your grace in which I was able to forgive".
So many people go around with such unforgiveness inside, and it has been there so long, they no longer consider it sin. It becomes a part of their life, just part of who they are. A lot of time they can't remember why they feel the way they do, it is just there. We all want to be held by our loving Father, knowing that there is nothing standing between us, knowing that we can be righteous in His sight, but when we feel that distance, that space that we don't seem to be able to cross, no matter how much we worship our Beloved Lord, no matter how much we pray and seek His face....there is that strange distance. If we ask, if we truly desire to know, the Holy Spirit will bring up to the surface, anything that is not of God. Do not ask if you are not ready to deal with it. For once it is on the surface it will stay there until you either ask the Lord for His grace to forgive this hurt, or you decide you will just keep things the way they have been, bottled up inside, relentlessly troubled and broken in spirit.
Thank You, Lord, for Your grace to forgive. Thank You, Holy Spirit for bring anything that is hidden, undealt with deep inside me to the surface so I can deal with it, in the Lord's Light of love, and rid myself of anything that would keep me from the sweet presence of my God. Your grace still amazes me, Lord, it never runs dry, it never stops flowing down to me, each moment of each day. I can do all things in You, through Your grace and with Your love. With Your grace I am forgiven, and with Your grace, I forgive. I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy call. You gave Your love to me, I will give Your love to all.

IN THE COOL OF THE EVENING
Ezekiel 28: 17b-18a "You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, you were in Eden, the garden of God."
The Lord began to speak to me this morning, sweetly, calling to me, to meet Him in the cool of the evening. Almost immediately, the mind, you know, the mind that always thinks of things as you see them....., well the mind says, it is hot, it is not going to be cool. And this is what the Lord told me:
Come to my garden, in the cool of the evening, and walk with Me. Where I am, it is always perfect. As you come into the garden, you will feel a fine mist as My Glory begins to fall all over you, and My Glory will wash all the trappings, all the lingerings, all the coating of the world off of you. As you walk into My Glory, as you come forward and begin to feel yourself become lighter as the cares and woes of the day are washed away, you will feel the coolness of the air; you will feel the sweet breeze of My Spirit as He draws you closer into My presence. Come and walk with Me, I desire to have My child, My beloved child with me.
As we come into the presence of the Lord, as we are cleansed of the day, as we are brought back into the perfected Light of our Lord, we will become as beautiful as anything.... no, it will be nothing we can imagine, for the beauty that the Lord places on us cannot be seen with the human eye. It is a spiritual beauty that only is seen by the heart. This is how our Lord sees us. This is the beautiful child that He desires so to walk with Him and spend time with Him. It is nothing we can gain on our own, it is nothing we can buy or beg.....it is given freely to us as we come into His presence, as we yield ourselves to His desire to spend time with us, as we desire to be in His presence more than anything else, we go from what we see to what He sees, the one He loves so, His beloved.
I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses, and the voice I hear falling on mine ear, the Son of God discloses.....and He walks with me and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own.....
What greater joy has a worshiper of our God than to be invited to walk with Him in the cool of the evening.

THY ROD AND THY STAFF
Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
My Lord and God, Your love overwhelms me at times. When I began to think of how much You love me, I thought of this verse. I have no fear of anything evil, of what harm the enemy might plan for me, You go before me to dispel it; to bring it to naught. Your rod of correction, of authority over my life brings me comfort. I can remember when I was a child and I needed correcting, my daddy would sometimes need to spank me. It wasn't often and I realize now it was because it hurt him so much to spank me. I know he had as many tears in his eyes as I had in mine, and I believe I got over it so much quicker than he did. I know when You correct me, Lord, that it distresses You also. I know so as I have felt You hold me close to Your heart as You are correcting me; so close that I know how much love You have for me. Close so I can feel Your heart reach out to me with Your abiding love to let me know that it is because of this love that You correct me, that You desire to keep me on the path that You have set for me; that You will not let me off the track again, ever again. You are jealous for me. You will not have me set my eyes on anyone, anything other than You, my Lord. I am Your worshiper and You will not let me go from You. And my Lord, I do not ever want to go from You. I thank You that You keep me close to You, that You keep me in Your will; that You love me enough to correct me when I am wrong.
Your staff, Lord, comforts me. Your staff keeps me close to You, drawing me into Your side when danger appears; bringing me back when I may step outside the path You have me on. I am comforted knowing that You will not let me drift from You, that all my steps are guided by You. I love how You pull me close to You for times of sweet fellowship; for times of intimate conversation, as You tell me of Your love for me and as You listen as I sing to You my words of love and adoration. I am comforted, I am at peace, I am filled with joy.
I love You my Lord. I sing praises to Your Name, O Lord, praises to Your Name. You are the One I adore, You are the One I live for. You are my King, my Master, my Everything.
