The Power To Enter

The Power to Enter…

In the Hebrew wedding, first the bridegroom had to come to the house of the bride to be received by her. Then they would prepare. The second part was taking the bride to the house of the bridegroom.

In salvation, it’s the same as the Hebrew marriage. Jesus, the groom came to our house, to this world, into our lives. That’s the first part of salvation. He came to our house, our world, our realm so we could enter into His house, His realm, His world.

The second part is our journey as the bride, to move to where He is, into the heavenly realms. That’s the power of salvation. Not just to move toward heaven, but to enter into heavenly places. He calls and empowers us to enter His heavenly joy, His heavenly peace, His heavenly presence, the heavenly life now.

Start moving, start journeying, the first part of the gospel has been fulfilled. The bridegroom has come to our house. Now it’s time for you to get moving on your journey, the journey of the bride to enter the house of the bridegroom, the heavenly life.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7

Today, take real steps to move forward from the old house to the new, away from the earthly and more in the heavenly. Dwell with God in heavenly places.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
