I preached in yesterday’s message, March 7, 2021, what could possibly have caused Lucifer’s banishment from heaven. Will send a copy to anyone requesting it. After writing it up for the message, it occurred to me that LEARNING something we didn’t know about GOD embodies our constant experience in Heaven. With all physical needs absent, and all fleshly desires non-existent, our sole desire will be to KNOW GOD as he revealed himself in Christ Ephesians 2:6-7. We will then perfectly fulfill the hunger and thirst for God each disciple should now have as the focus of life Matthew 5:6.
When our curriculum is GOD in CHRIST ONLY, ALONE, SOLELY and COMPLETELY, we shall begin an understanding of ourselves denied us now by keeping ourselves first Colossians 3:1-4. Get the priority of self-denial in life now as the pre-requisite to self being a fit vessel to fathoming Christ then. (Which emphasizes that all secrets about God but one will be open to discovery—the secret Lucifer may have coveted, and coveting, lost everything.) Perfected, glorified mortals shall have that experience—not angels, though higher than we now, for they aren’t subject to our coming glory. Which leads to the thought of this blog. Sometimes…if not often…our greatest learning experience in worshipping God comes by being filled with WONDER. No understanding necessary. No explanation possible. No communication in evidence. Simply the human spirit communing with God’s Holy Spirit—akin to what can happen in prayer Romans 8:26-27. Even now, in our limited spiritual capacity, we have those experiences with Christ beyond words or interpretation. And when God clothes our mortality with immortality, words equal to the experiences ARE the rule that has no exceptions I Corinthians 15:35-58. An event on Sunday, September 2, 1945 illustrates. End Part I
