Heaven's Kiss

Heavens' Kiss

Caleb said, “Gather around and lift up holy hands.” They all came in close together and lifted their hands toward heaven. Caleb said,

“When morning breaks, You greet us with heaven’s kiss.

At the heart of noonday, it’s the shade of heaven’s wings.

When night falls,

Your songs of love and grace comfort us.”

The above is from, “Corridors” from my book, The Caleb Chronicles.

Heavens' Kiss? Yeah, well. I know, this one is a little out there. Let me see if I can explain.

Psalm 85:10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Psalm 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings

Where does lovingkindness and truth come from? They come from Jesus. Jesus is Truth (John 14:6). Righteousness and Peace; Righteousness is what? Being in right standing with the Father. Peace comes from Jesus Christ.

James 3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Mat 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

Those who desperately want to be in right standing with God so much that they feel they can't live without it, the Father will fill them with Righteousness.

2Th 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus gives us HIS peace. We in ourselves do not possess any peace. Jesus gives us peace, for He is the Lord of peace.

Psalm 42:8 The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me; A prayer to the God of my life.

Psalm 118:14 The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.

What is God's song? What song is the LORD? Whatever song comes to mind when you feel like praising the Lord. In times of despair God puts a song of comfort in your, mine, our heart. I believe, “God Gave Rock-n-Roll to You” is God's song, lol. There is power in music and there is Great Power in music that praises God.

Psalm 22:3 But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

Not only is He our Song, but He sits Enthroned in our praises. WOW!

So, when we are in right standing with Father God, the Timeless-One, Jesus the Word fills us with HIS Peace, so then yours, mine, our hearts are neither troubled nor afraid. He hides us from evil with His mighty wings, so then we are comforted by our Song, Jesus.

I kind of drifted from the kiss of heaven a little bit. Back in Psalm 85:10 it said, “Righteousness and Peace have kissed.”

Psalm 85:10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

I like to think, every morning, those who are in Right Standing with the Timeless-One are greeted with a kiss on the forehead from the Lord of Peace, Jesus as He says, “Wake, My child, My friend, for this is the day I have made. Now, rejoice and be glad in it.” Just a thought.

I.H.G.

I.H.G.:

From out of the light and out of the humming came a voice saying, “Caleb, my friend, you are always in My grip.”

The above is from, “The Invitation” from The Caleb Chronicles.

Here the Timeless-One assures Caleb that He is always with him, that He has got hold of him and won't let go. That is good to know. Right?

Psalm 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand.

Psalm 91:4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

Mat 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

"teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

Joshua 1:5 "No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.

Mar 9:27 But Jesus took [a strong grip of] his hand and began lifting him up, and he stood. (AMP)

Always remember the Timeless-One has a Strong Grip on us. He won't let go, unless we force Him to. He will NEVER leave us nor Forsake us. And, with a Strong Grip of His right hand He lift's us up so we can stand. He will NEVER lose His Grip on us.

When I remember, I sign everything with the word, “Selah”, then I.H.G.

Selah means; to pause and reflect on, to think on, dwell on, meditate on what you just read or heard.

I.H.G. stands for, In His Grip.

Blessings Multiplied, Selah, I.H.G.

John 3:16

"The Story", from The Caleb Chronicles is all about John 3:16.
Check out The Seven Wonders of John 3:16.
Selah, I.H.G.

OIL:

Oil:

Then one by one, angels came down from heaven and stood by each of them. Each angel held a golden bowl. 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.”

As the Lord spoke, the angels each dipped their forefinger into the bowl they held, then held their finger over the person they stood by. A sweet oil fell from their finger onto each person’s heart. From head to toe Caleb and the others were covered with the sweet anointing oil from God. The Timeless-One continued speaking,

“Go to battle and win. Go to rescue, and save.

Go to conquer, and destroy.”

The above is from, “The Garden” from my book, The Caleb Chronicles.

The word for anointed in Hebrew is, mishchâh, which means to smear or spread a liquid. The Hebrew word for oil is, shemen, and it means grease or liquid like from an olive.

In the language of Scripture, the word Anointed is a very important word. It means the consecrating, setting apart, and sanctifying, in a peculiar manner, persons or things to sacred purposes. Therefore, in a very important and personal degree, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Christ of God, is emphatically called the Messiah, or anointed of JEHOVAH. His name, Messiah, means this. It is, indeed, the same word in Hebrew, as Anointed in English.

Oil in Scripture is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Those filled with the Holy Spirit give off light, emanate joy and gladness.

Psalm 45:7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

Isa 61:3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."

2Co 1:21, 22 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

So, you are, I am, we are smeared, covered, wrapped, sheltered by and with the Holy Spirit and Jesus the Messiah, in that we are set apart from the world as His very own. We now are smeared with, covered with, and sealed with Light, with Joy and Gladness in that He saturates us, so that All seeps down in to our bodies, into our hearts and into our very souls. Now, there is no question of who we are, and who's we are.

Selah, I.H.G.

Of Action:

Of Action:

Caleb looked at Wah’li’si and said, “Let’s head back to the temple.” When they arrived at the temple yard, the Timeless-One stood in the middle of the yard in the form of a pillar of white fire. Caleb and Wah’li’si fell to their knees and put their faces to the ground. The Lord spoke to Caleb. “The heavens rejoice over your deeds, and the way you serve your God and your people. They say, ‘There’s a man of God, a man of action, and a man of love.’ Heaven knows we can count on you and the people of High Rock.”

Caleb and Wah’li’si remained kneeling and did not move. Wah’li’si did not hear the Timeless-One speak. “Caleb, my beloved servant,” continued the Lord, “the littlest of gods has sent his disciples of deception to the Village of Fences.” The white pillar of fire turned dark scarlet, and then the Timeless-One spoke again.

“Caleb, High Priest, stand and receive beautiful wisdom. She will burn as the Holy Spirit burns within you.” Caleb stood and lifted his hands to the sky, palms up. Just then, the pillar of scarlet fire rose in the air and moved to hover over Caleb. The Lord spoke with a loud voice saying, “Receive!” The

fire fell on Caleb then quickly shot up to heaven.

Caleb remained there with his hands still lifted high. His hair was dripping wet with oil. Wah’li’si slowly rose to her feet. She saw that the pillar of fire was gone and looked over at Caleb. She knew he had been with God. Caleb brought his hands down. He looked at Wah’li’si and said, “We must go to the Village of Fences.”

The above is from, “Liquid Christ” from The Caleb Chronicles.

Does Heaven know, does Heaven see you as a person of God? A person of action and of love? Can the Timeless-One the God of the Universe and even beyond the furthest regions depend on you? Selah. That's something to think on, dwell on, and meditate on.

There is an old cliché that goes, “Actions speak louder than words.”

Faith is of God:

Ephesians 4:13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

Faith is a verb: A word of action. If we have faith, we act on that faith and move mountains.

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Faith and love are of and in Christ:

1Ti 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

The world needs to know that the Timeless-One dwells in us, by our love and faith in action. Let's not just say we know God, we have faith, we have love. Let's act on it. Let's show it. Let's live it.

Rom 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

Selah, I.H.G.

Freedom

Offering of Fire

This is another song I wrote for my Christian Rock Opera trilogy + 1. The opera is called, “Of Splendor and Wickedness”, subtitled, “In the Days of the Reaper”. The Opera opens with a man taken to Heaven and God showing him how He created the Heavens and the earth. Then, he is transported in to the future to see the tribulation period and then finally, the Millennial Reign of Christ and what happens after. So, here's a song from from part one, “The Awakening”. The song, “Offering of Fire”

We, have some of these songs recorded, I'll try to download some and you can tell me what you think.

Selah, I.H.G.

Song: Offering of Fire

“I come into your presence,

I fall down to my knees,

I lift my voice in adoration

To worship my King.

This heart is set ablaze,

My praises go higher and higher,

A sacrifice of praise to you,

An offering of fire

(Offering of fire)

To worship You in spirit,

To worship You in truth,

That’s why I’ve come to this place,

That’s what I’m gonna do.

Let’s make our voices loud,

Our praises go higher and higher,

We worship You, oh-Lord,

Take this offering of fire

(Offering of fire)

Oh, our spirit burns for You,

Hear your holy choir,

Fervent praise and adoration,

In this offering of fire

(Repeat)
