Hebrew 13
We are walking in today: Weekend Meditation: Creating A Dwelling Place For The Most High!!!!!!!! PART 3
Witness pure throughout the Bible: H2891 taher--to be clean, be pure (physically--of disease); to be clean ceremonially; to purify, be clean morally, made clean
Ezr 6:20
For the priests and the Levites were purified H2891 together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
The Torah testifies...............
Leviticus 24:2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
The prophets proclaim..................
2 Samuel 22:27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
The writings bear witness...........................
Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure H2891 from my sin?
Job 4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure H2891 than his maker?
This way provided by The Most High is the same today as it was two thousand years ago.
There is no improved savior and no improved blood. The Savior has been, is, and always will be Yeshua HaMashiach, and His blood is the only sacrifice sufficient and acceptable to atone for our sins.
We human beings may be looking for new and improved ways to worship, but The Most High is not. He does not want experts in worship. What The Most High wants is people who will follow His instructions every time they approach Him.
This is just the way The Most High is. He isn’t looking for change, since He doesn’t change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (see Heb. 13:8). His bottom line continues to be His passion forgetting His presence back into man’s experience. This is His plan for the entire human race because Adam carried in him all the nations of the world. Therefore, when The Most High removed Adam from His presence, He removed all the nations as well. Likewise, when Yeshua came to earth, He came to restore the Holy Spirit to all mankind. Before He could do this, however, He had to clean us up so that we could receive The Most High’s Spirit. He had to cleanse our impurity.
To say that we are impure does not mean that we are dirty, as in the filth of dirt. What it does mean is that we are impure in The Most High’s sight. What we believe, what we say, and what we do don’t
match. This is what impurity is to The Most High. Therefore, The Most High sent HaMashiach to restore a pure heart to us so that we can be integrated in thought, word, and action. Only when our heart is once more pure can we become the temple in which the Holy Spirit lives (see 1 Cor. 3:16; 6:19).
Since the Holy Spirit is The Most High, He is the key to getting us into The Most High’s presence today. He is also the only One who can teach us what The Most High requires of us now (see Jn. 14:26). Sadly, many Christians miss the joy of living with the Lord because their hopes are fixed on Heaven and what they will someday gain there. This may be the theology of the hymnbook, but it is not the theology of the Bible. The Most High’s purpose is not that we will fly away to Him someday, but that we will live in His presence today in this world. Therefore, all His work through the Old Testament and into the days of Yeshua and the Church has been to get us back into the environment where He first put us here on earth. That environment is His presence.
In essence, the issue is not where you are located, but who is located where you are. You need The Most High’s presence to function. So wherever He is, be that in Heaven or on earth, you can function
there. This makes seeking The Most High and living in His presence today in this life quite important.
Why else would The Most High create a new Heaven and a new earth?
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea (Revelation 21:1).
He’s making another environment for us that is like the atmosphere man once enjoyed in the Garden of Eden. This atmosphere will be on earth because we were created to dominate the earth, not Heaven.
Therefore, Heaven is not the fulfillment of your future. Your eternal home will be a new earth.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from The Most High, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.... I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord The Most High Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of The Most High gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp (Revelation 21 : 1-2, 22-23 ).
This new earth won’t need a sea to provide water or the sun and the moon to provide light because The Most High Himself will be our light and our life. Just as Adam and Eve enjoyed continual fellowship with The Most High in the Garden of Eden, we will wake up every morning in The Most High’s presence and go through the whole day with Him. No matter where we are, we will breathe in life.
However, you don’t have to wait for this new earth to live with The Most High. He wants to come to you right now. He wants to live in praising Him and filling your home with testimonies of how great He is and how good He has been to you. Just start bragging about The Most High from a pure heart, and He will come to you right where you are. He’ll set up His throne in your house. That’s His plan, and He’s bringing it to pass in our generation. He’s creating a new order where the power of satan is defeated in your life and in mine simply because we make room for His presence. We know that He wants us to have His presence. The only question is whether we will make room for Him to come to us.
You do this by filling your environment with praise until He comes and fills the place you have made. That’s all. There’s no more sweating, no more hard work, no more contriving to do this or that to get to The Most High. You make room for Him, and He comes. That’s it. And you do this through praise.
