Return to Eden, Part 5

Return to Eden, Part 5

We have always looked upon going to Heaven as returning to God and going home, but the Father's idea of coming home was to once again be joined together with Him in spirit (all things come from the spirit) as we walk with Him in this new covenant. We find that in Eph 2:19 Amp. We are now citizens of the Covenant- We belong to God's own household (Eden). Even the body that we live in now will be glorified and live forever in him. Rev. 21:1-7 Amp. We will be totally restored back to the Eden of God, spirit, soul and body. Right now, our body is still perishable, but that is the only thing left in our covenant that still has to change. Everything that God created for us is now ours in Christ Jesus. If we, by faith in the cross and resurrection, will come boldly to the throne of God's grace (Heb. 4:16 Amp.) we will have everything we need when we need it. I Cor. 2:7-10 Amp. So many times we quote VS. 9 about eyes not seeing and ears not hearing, but we don't go into VS. 10 where it says that the Holy Spirit has revealed them to us in these last days.

We need to understand that the only thing that holds back what God has given us through Jesus is our lack of faith in the blood to reconcile all things back to Himself.

I Cor. 2:12-16 Amp. VS. 14 Says that the natural man won't understand what the Holy Spirit has written for it is foolishness to him because they are spiritually discerned.

Eph. 1:10-14 Amp. VS. 12 We were destined and appointed to live for the praise of His glory.
Eph. 1:17-23 Amp. These are truths that operate in our lives now as well as when we are glorified with a new body. If you read the second chapter of Eph. Amp. you will understand that all the things He has done in Jesus he has done in us. We won't need the ability to lay hands on the sick when we get to heaven. There are no sick people there. We won't need the authority over the Devil when we get there. He won't be there. Now is when you need to power and authority to "tend the garden" which is now in you through the New Covenant, and to make sure we don't listen to the same lies and guilt that caused Adam to lose his dominion. But by faith, rely on the blood and the name of Jesus to reveal the word to us in the revelation the Holy Spirit is showing us.
I can only guard my own life and tend my own "Eden" that is mine through Jesus. I have the authority to keep the ires of the serpent out by the Word and the Spirit. I have been issued armor to wear and the Word to defend what is mine in Him. Each believer will have to use the same "shield of faith" in Eph. 6 Amp. to stop all the fiery darts of the enemy.

Everything good that the Father created, He created for you. Not all the sin, sickness, heartache and misery that the world is offering you in His place. James 1:17 Amp./ John 10:10 Amp. If you use the scriptures in the truth of the Word, you will find your way back to the Eden the Father made for you.

Psalm 91 Amp. is a "now" psalm. It is intended to be put to use now in the lives of God's children. You will find that part of the dialogue in Psalm 91 is yours, and part is God's. If you do your part He will do his. Psalm 91:9-16 Amp. This is part of what the Lord will do for the one who will do his part. Your part in Psalm 91 is in verse 1 and 2 Amp. Your job, my place or part, is to "abide," to stay fixed and remain stable in the secret place. That secret places is in Jesus. I will rely in and trust in Him. God said in verse 3 and on that if we were to acknowledge Him "and only Him" in these things, He will deliver us (VS. 4), cover us (VS. 5), protect us (VS. 6), and keep terror from us. We will only stand as a spectator, safe in Jesus, and watch what God does on our behalf.
Church! Jesus is our jubilee, he is our righteousness, he is our life, and he is Eden. In him is fullness of life. Live in the glow of his glory, and let him be all he wants to be in your life now and always.
