JOURNAL 4

LIFE BEYOND THE VEIL

                “My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass your servant by.” Gen. 18:3

                I have recently started to keep a journal, or a diary of my private conversations with the Lord. Some of them are too private to share as I bare my soul before God, but others, less personal, may bless you in your own relationship with the Lord.

                I will let you be the judge as to whether I am hearing from God or if I am just writing a fanciful story. These journals involve two way conversations between me and Yeshua.

RICK:     Good morning Lord. What would You like to say to me today? I hunger to know Your heart. I want to walk in a place of favor with You. It is my desire to bring joy to Your heart. It must break              Your heart to see so many who call themselves by Your name now falling away. What can I do, being just one person, to bring You joy today?

YESHUA:              I have indeed heard the cry of your heart Rick. I know it is difficult for you to comprehend how I can suffer great sorrow and yet be filled with great joy at the same time. MY Holy Spirit is grieved by the choices, the purposeful blindness and the lukewarm condition of many. They have no idea how I crave to become one with them… to wake them up… to sing and dance and laugh with them. They worship their religion, but they do not worship Me.

RICK:     Do I bring You joy Lord? Does it please You that I have now set out to see beyond the words of truth to the Source of truth, You my Lord?

YESHUA:              Indeed you give me pleasure Rick. At last you are seeking Me beyond the words. I am here. I am just beyond the veil of flesh. Your spirit and My Spirit can dance together beyond the veil of flesh.

RICK:     Oh my Lord. I feel your Spirit drawing me beyond the veil of flesh to dance with You in the infinity of Your Most Holy Place.

YESHUA:              You have had glimpses of this before Rick. You have perceived that to step beyond the veil of the flesh is to step into eternity. You enter into My timeless presence. You are set free from time in this place. Do you understand then why a timeless God would set appointed times in the earth? In my timeless realm I need to set appointed times in your realm… times to meet…to talk… to know each other.     

                Here in My realm there is no time, so from the foundation of the world I set up appointed times in the earth., I cut out little pieces of time from the fabric of time and I blessed them. I put My presence in them. I put intimacy in them. I put order in them. I put commands in them to separate the faithful from the unfaithful. There is a special intimacy awaiting those who meet Me on My appointed times.

RICK:     So why have they called this legalism Lord? Why don’t they understand?

YESHUA:              It is because they do not know Me. They are like a stubborn wife that refuses to have intercourse with her husband because she has come to doubt his motives. To her it is all about sex… rules… regulations… doctrines and private interpretations. She cannot see his deep desire to become one with her.

RICK:     So, is it true that our marriages are a reflection of our relationship with You?

YESHUA:              Yes and no. Yes it is a picture of the intimacy that we can share, but it is not limited to that. Even in a bad marriage either spouse can have an intimate relationship with Me, even if the other spouse is stubborn, rebellious or unbelieving.

RICK:     I know that so many marriages are made up of 2 lonely people. Their spirits have never bonded. They have never learned the joy of intimacy that lies beyond the physical relationship. It is transcendent intimacy that holds them together forever… timeless. It is the union of spirits.

YESHUA:              Where two spirits are united there is a transcendent love. It is very much like you and Me when we dance together beyond the veil of flesh. You step beyond time to meet Me in the secret place…the place beyond space and time. We dance through eternity. I give you perspective and understanding. You call it the “Big Picture.” I call it “oneness.”

RICK:     Speaking of time Lord, I love the study of Quantum Physics. Even though quantum mechanics seems to break all of the rules, they also seem to be the invisible foundations upon which the visible realm is built. There seems to be a different set of laws that govern the invisible realm. In that realm gravity and time and distance don’t seem to apply. How do you make it all work together Lord?

YESHUA:              Quantum laws only seem to break the physical laws as you understand them from your limited perspective Rick. The law of the Spirit of life in Me sets you free from the law of sin and death in order that the law can be fulfilled in you when you walk in My Spirit and not in the flesh. Every physical thing is held together by that which is invisible.

RICK:     But that is Romans 8:1-4 Lord. So you are saying it is the same in the natural as it is in the physical? You apply the laws of quantum physics to show us that the higher laws of the Spirit will fulfill the law of the flesh if we walk in the Spirit?

                YESHUA:              In a manner of speaking, yes Rick. That is exactly what I am saying. If you walk in the Spirit, thus producing the fruit of the Spirit, then the laws governing the flesh no longer apply to you… and yet they will be fulfilled in you to My absolute satisfaction. I never intended for you to be a slave to My laws. I always intended for you to love Me with your whole heart and to love others. So when you walk with Me, you are free not to break the lower laws of the flesh, but to live in transcendent love.

RICK:     Like a transcendent marriage?

Yeshua:                                Yes Rick, like a transcendent marriage… like a Bride adorned for her Husband… like everyone that presses beyond the veil of flesh to know Me in the secret place.
