Anointed, Sealed and Filled

Anointed, Sealed and Filled

Then the voice of the Timeless-One echoed in their ears,

“Blessed are you, and anointed.

Blessed are you and sealed.

Blessed are you, and filled.”

From, “The Garden” from the book, The Caleb Chronicles.

Anointed- Smeared or rubbed with oil; set apart; consecrated with oil.

Consecrated-separated from a common to a sacred use; devoted or dedicated to the service and worship of God; made venerable.

When we asked Jesus to forgive us of our sins and to come into our hearts, the Timeless-One anointed us by covering us with the blood of the Lamb and separating us from the rest of the world.

2Co 1:21Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

Sealed-fastened with a seal; confirmed; closed.

When a king finishes a letter, he folds it gently, places it in an envelope and seals it with his mark. It is finished and it is of him.

When we are anointed with the blood of the Lamb, we have been marked, sealed and confirmed His, and only His.

2Co 1:22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Filled-Made full; supplied with abundance.

Before we come to the Lord we are empty of God, yet full of carnal appetites that just doesn't satisfy.

Now that we are in Christ, Christ is in us. Now, we are being filled with all the fullness of God.

Eph 3:19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Know, that if you are a follower of the Timeless-One, that

you are Anointed, you are Sealed and you are Filled.

You are Set-apart, you are Confirmed and you are Overflowing with all the Abundance of God.

Selah, I.H.G.

Of Tears

Of Tears:

The saying goes, “There will be no tears in Heaven.” Or, “There will be no crying in Heaven.” This is true and false. Let me explain.

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

In order for God to wipe the tears from our eyes, we must be crying. I believe when we enter into Heaven and we see Yeshuah Jesus, we will see His scars from the beating He took for us. We will see the nail holes in His wrists, and we will see the love in His eyes for us.

Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

This Lamb is none other than Yeshuah Jesus. Here in the midst of the throne He stands, still bearing the scars of the whipping, the disfigurement of His face after being beaten and His beard being ripped out. I believe this is what we will behold when we step into eternity. This will be one reason we will cry. Imagine that if you can. Seeing our Savior standing there still bearing the marks of the crucifixion, “stood a Lamb as it had been slain,”. The only man made thing in Heaven will be the scars of Yeshuah. (For a deeper study on The Scars of Christ go to my web page at the link at the bottom of this post.)

The second reason I believe we will cry when we enter in to Heaven is, that when we see Christ we will immediately think of all we could have done for the Lord and didn't, and all we did do, that we shouldn't have done. But, God in great love and compassion will reach out to each of us and gently touch our cheeks and eyes and wipe the tears away. There will nevermore be any crying. Memories of this earth that caused so much grief and pain will be no more. The former things are long passed away. Now, all is new.

Selah, I.H.G.
