Heavenly Life

Christ is the heavenly Minister, ministering heaven, as a position, to us so that we may have the power to live a heavenly life. This is possible because Christ has ascended and enthroned to be Lord of all, as the Saviour and heavenly High Priest of the Holy of Holies, to bear us in the presence of God and care for all our human needs(Heb.4:14;7:26;9:11.)  As such He is ministering to us day by day. This is a real booster to me as I enjoyed the speaking of the Lord through the HWMR, that I can live a heavenly life in this worldly world! This is absolutely normal as Christ has accomplished all for this very purpose. It is no miracle nor any special spirituality needed. As much as Christ lives in us, so much the more we can live a heavenly life! Christ our life (Col.3:4) and Christ our living(Phil.1:21) makes us a heavenly man to live a heavenly life!

Two days ago I spoke this to a group meeting and the saints were really strengthened. As such a high Priest, He also called us to be His priest on the earth. Ezekiel 44:15b, 17b " they shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to present to Me the fat and the blood, declares the Lord Jehovah,..and no wool will come upon them while they minister in the gates of the inner court and inside it."

The Lord calls us to Himself from everything else, good or evil; from all the preoccupations, so that we can minister to Him, not His works, even the so called spiritual works. No Christian work is as christian as Christ  Himself; no spiritual work is more spiritual than Christ Himself. Christ Person must be of utmost important than anything else. Otherwise, it might turn out to be idolatry in spiritual/christian cloak.

And to stand before the Lord, ever ready to heed His command, to whatever He has to say; to offer sacrifices of blood, taking Him as our redemption and covering, satisfying God's requirement for righteousness and holiness by dealing with all the negative things; and sacrificing fat, honoring, worshipping, praising and glorifying Him by offering Him the best we could for God's satisfaction and fulfill God's requirement for glory. This is an honorable and noble service indeed.

And that no wool will come upon the serving ones implies no sweating out of human labour be there in our service to God; our service should be in spirit out of the Lord, for and unto the Lord without any impure human effort and intention. Such is the High Priest calling for the priests.

Lord, may I be such a one.
