We are in the last days and it is so important that our hearts are right with God, we are to walk daily with the Lord in a spirit of sanctification and holiness.
The Lord is bringing about a separation between the true children of God and professing Christians that are bound by religion.

We must have a pure heart and we must allow the painful pruning the Lord chooses to do in our hearts, those who have not produced fruit will be thrown into the fire, so we must surrender completely to the Lord and His will and what He chooses to do in our life, and how He chooses it.

He is preparing His bride to be without spot or wrinkle.

Knowing God, and talking and reading about Him are two different things. We must truly know Him personally, and to take time with Him.
I have slipped a little from pursuing Him as I was, but now I intend to seek hard after Him once again.
It is so mandatory that we know Him personally, we cannot stand unless we are wedded to him in our hearts, to know Him as well as our own earthly spouse.

Beloved, I want you to know the urgency to allow the Lord to purge you, to separate from that which is religious and seek the Lord in the Spirit, listen beloved listen to the Spirit, He is ready to teach you everything your heart needs to know.

The One thing needful, is seeking Him.

"He is saying, come up Hither. "Oh beloved if you could see Him high and lifted up, sitting upon His throne, looking like clear crystal, of light colored green of a Jasper stone, and sparkling with sardius stone of blood red, with a green rainbow of emerald color around the throne, his throne described in Ezekiel as looking like Sapphire blue or lapis Lazuli, beautiful beyond description, and the twenty four elders seated around the throne, all dressed in white, with golden crowns upon their heads, crying out day and night, holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was and is to come, worshiping Him day and night

Before the throne was a sea of glass like unto the appearance of crystal, you can see it glitter reflecting the glory of the Lord and the colors that emanate from him around the throne.

This is His glory it is light, He is light.


Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb.

Look at what John saw.
Rev 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
Rev 21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.


WE will be His bride, we will be the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, when we have been purified, when we have surrendered all to the Lord that He might purify us, so that we can contain all His fullness, for the more we have of Him the more we shine like stars. In verse 11 it says, having the glory of God, and her light (the bride)was like unto a stone most precious, even like a Jasper stone, clear as crystal. We will shine with the same light of God, the glory of God, as like crystal, that pale green, clear as crystal.

We will radiate that light because He will be so full in us, Yahshua, Jesus is the light of the world and it is His Spirit in us that causes us to shine forth that light, His light, it is His glory. We must keep our eye single to look at only that which will feed the spirit within us.

Luk 11:33
No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.

Luk 11:34
The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

Luk 11:35
Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness.

Luk 11:36
If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.
And there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.
When we are full of light, there will be no darkness in us, and when the bride comes down as the New Jerusalem there will be no more darkness in us, there will be no need for the moon or sun, it will always be day, and the glory of the Lord will shine forth.

We are most precious stones, and we will be the jewels making up the wall, the foundation being Jasper, the second Sapphire, the third Chalcedony, the fourth an emerald, the fifth the sardonyx, the sixth the sardius, seventh chrysolyte, the eigth Beryl, the ninth a topaz, the tenth a chrysoprasus, the eleventh the Jacinth, the twelveth the amethyst, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, and the twelve gates, twelve pearls, every few gates was one pearl, and the streets of the city are pure gold.

The city has no need of the sun or moon to shine in it, for the glory of God shines forth in it, and the nations which are saved shall walk in that light. It is glorious! Hallelujia!
1Pe 2:5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

When you accepted the Lord into your life, you are accepting the light of the world, but unless you abide in the vine, unless you abide in the Lord you will not produce the fruit of the Lord, the love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, and humility.
These are aspects similar to a diamond, each facet a quality of light. Love being the greatest light.
Don't you see that it is love that fills us full of His light?

When we sin we bring the darkness in. All sin is a sin against love, against our brethren or against our family against even the stranger.

We are to love our neighbor as our self. This is the second of the greatest commandments to love God with all our heart and mind and strength, and to love our neighbor as our self.

Can you see that the city will be in the light of the glory of God, who is love, everything is pure there, nothing will be allowed in there that is of the darkness. Even the sea of glass is pure, the 24 elders wear a spotless garment of white, with pure gold crowns on the their heads.

There will not be wolves in sheep clothing, there will not be the goats that are among the sheep now, the tares will have been burned, only the wheat will remain.

Nothing will be allowed in that defiles, or that is not in the lambs book of life.

There is a pure river of the water of life that flows out from the throne of God, there will be no more tears, no more sickness and death.

Along side the river on either side, is the tree of life that bears twelve fruits every month and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

There shall be no more light there or need for light for the Lord shall give us light.

Doesn't this little glimpse of Him, make you want to KNOW HIM MORE, to have Him more fully into your life?
He is magnificent, and there is nothing that I desire more then to see Him in all His glory, and to bring Him glory.

He is so pure, so holy, we must be holy as He is holy, we need to allow Him to prune all that is darkness in us, to remove the sin that so easily besets us, and allow His wonderful glory to fill us with His light so that when others see us they see Him.

We must be purified and we must yield to it, because if we don't it is much more painful and takes so much more time for the Lord to accomplish.

We must repent of all known sin, and if the Lord puts a finger on something we didn't realize was still there, we need to quickly repent. and allow Him to purge us.
So that we will be a bride without spot or wrinkle.

Meditate on the Lord, on His goodness and His mercy, His holiness. He gives mercy to those who fear Him.

Let us look forward to the throne of God, and seeing Him in all His glory. High and Lifted Up!
