Romans and the Flesh Monster.... His kingdom animates us

  5857 As you know or if you have not already learned that in meditating on the Psalms regularly I find that angels are quite intriguing. Whether its the Angel of the Lord who has a sword that comes from His mouth, who is our great protector, or a myriad of Angels who are appointed to protect us from this spiritual conflict, yet they are beautiful creatures who are intimately involved in our lives.  Anytime we are in prayer and we start to feel this eternal peace, rolling our anxiety onto Him, it comes with this heavenly vision of the armies of heaven shining His glory with the hope that we have a future interest when we see these armies at first hand. If we could imagine that even tho the sky's seem calm and have a blue glow to them, yet if we were to have a vision of the spiritual forces in the skies,  there would be an amazing clear transformation of our view in gazing on an object, having an illumination of a light and color as we feel unable to find clearness in comparison to the objects we are used to seeing.

And yet we are given a spiritual  vision of Gods armies attending His present salvation of us not only  enlightening our eyes but in having an effect on our present circumstances. And the angels of heaven give us an experience of Gods saving purposes as the armies of heaven are displayed before us by our Father in heaven acting to come to our rescue . This personal feeling helplessness is buttressed by our illumination of His unfathomable spiritual creation coming from heaven to enact victory for us. Oh my, can we have more confidence than that? For who can thwart His glorious appearance? Who can conclude that God cannot do as He pleases?  He does it according to His divine order. May our eyes be opened to these powers that are not seen yet are very real.

 Gods order comes from that divine knowledge. We know that the origins of all things comes from a divine source. They come from God and not from a principle.  We are to have a new knowledge of confidence that He enacts His purpose even tho the world is trying to force their way upon us. God has determined to reveal this order in the heavens as a buttress for our confidence. The order we seldom see today with our eyes in this physical universe.  We are moved by a moral system that causes us to react to the physical universe. But yet God comes to us in the unseen universe. He has come  in Christ who has established His order.  He determined who we are in acting for us. But we worship Christ the word of God, through revealed truth by a divine method and not through the system of this world. If we set our affections on things above then we will be confident that God does as He pleases in spite of what the world teaches us about moral order.
 

We can be raised up to rejoice.  All of these glorious illuminations come to us in the light of the glory of God. For who can look upon His present glory? But yet how can we conclude that there is no hope in His present communication? How can we understand knowledge  that is beyond the normal means of communication? We find it in the Spirit who causes us to think and act correctly. The Spirit communicates to us  a living reality so that we are not mere actors in a play of the worlds mindset to be forever frustrated that there is nothing outside this present play. Oh my, now can we conclude that God is the orchestra-tor of a much glorious unseen connection that comes in all of the details of every movement of all of the things of this world? Are we not under the obligation to see that God is not only speaking in the universe so that we grow in confidence by viewing the movements with our  eyes, but that He is involved with all of the connections that we could never see and understand? Shall we say that He speaks so powerfully in us, that we are confounded by the weight of the circumstances that we cannot comprehend?
