Psalm 22:25–27 “My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the. Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.”

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Beloved,

What knowledge has been given you, but that of the Living God that lives within you. You are a vessel, a cup that overflows onto others that are on the path. You seek to do the will of the Father, and you fulfill the calling. You walk among the dead and raise them to life. You see an injured bird, and heal its hurt. You run and do not grow weary, for there are Heaven’s help that restores you to strength and power.

It is good for you to be here, among the new flowers and fresh wind. It is a settling place, where rest comes easily. Every outside, worldly distraction is put aside and not allowed in this holy place. This is a realization that here there is hope; despair does not exist here. Your heart longs for these things, for anxious thoughts cast doubt upon truth that have been set in motion.

Look to the sky, in the heavens is your reward, but it is not far off. It is now, and God says “bring heaven to earth.” Now there are moments where sickness cannot enter in, for you have worshipped the King and the atmosphere has been transformed. You have sought the alabaster jar, and broken its lid. Pour out this salve, this healing ointment that is fragrant with the fragrance of Christ.

In those moments within the tomb, His Body was prepared for burial and expensive spices were laid out. But God said, “my holy one will not see decay!” This was the promise from a thousand years of prophecy, spoken through David and others. This event forever changed how we think about the Father. He is not distant, for the master of the vineyard sent His only son — but yet the people there killed him.

Even on the Cross, He asked His Father, “Forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing.”

What did Jesus do? He brought Heaven to earth. What should we do?

Bring Heaven to earth.
