TRUE DESIRES

-

What Eve truly desired was to become like God and the tree that could grant her that was the Tree of Life (which represents Jesus). Remember there were two trees in the middle of the garden in Genesis 2:9.  Jesus declared, "I am the way, the truth, and the life in John 14:6." He embodied the life that Eve longed for because to be like God is to possess the life of His Son. Thus, Jesus was Eve's genuine desire. Similarly, David's true desire was the beauty of God's holiness and not the nakedness of Bathsheba (Psalm 27:4). The express image of God's person is Jesus (Hebrews 1:3). Thus, Jesus was David's genuine desire. Therefore, it is not the strong man with attractive muscles and a chiseled physique that I desire; rather, it is the one known as Faithful and True, the strongest man riding a heavenly horse. He is referred to as the Living Word of God. It is not the beautiful and tender woman, captivating and gentle to my touch with mesmerizing eyes, in w...

I AM IN BONDAGE

-
Image
I am in bondage, with your chains wound around my neck. You bind my hands and feet to the Tree of Life in Jerusalem. Who can save me from the stronghold of your truths, love, and grace? The Tree of Life is in an unapproachable light beyond the reach of humans. He is immortal and invisible, and no one can find him; and even if they can, they cannot cut him down. His roots reach to the depths of the earth where he overcame the forces of darkness and displayed his victory. His trunk fills the earth with glory, and his crown and leaves fills the heavens.  He is seated at your right hand, far above anything created or imaginable. Your chains of grace, love, and truths bind me to your Tree of Life. As I dwell in your secret place, I am overwhelmed by your glorious presence. Nothing can break these chains; nothing can separate me from your love in your glorious tree.   Neither hell, death, angels, principalities, powers, things to come, nor things unseen can separate me from the...

The Ladder and Clock

-
Image
  Using the clock and ladder model, I'll explain what God has laid on my heart. The clock represents God's nature of love and righteousness, while the ladder symbolizes the law of Moses. We, as humans, are like three-year-olds. The law instructs us to pick up the ladder, place it against the wall, climb up, and reach the clock. However, for a three-year-old, this is impractical, leading to repeated falls in attempts to pick up the ladder. Similarly, when we try to obey the law, we often fall back into our sinful nature, as it's impossible for us to fully fulfill the law. In this analogy, the Holy Spirit plays the role of the father of the three-year-old child. The Holy Spirit, being tall enough, can take the clock from the wall, give it to the child, and teach them how to use it. The Holy Spirit instills new desires, encourages us to walk in love and righteousness, and helps us produce good fruits without the need to climb the ladder.
