Are You
Kidding Me?
April 2, 2014
Did you know that as a believer in Jesus we are presently---that’s real time--- seated with Jesus in the heavenly realms? See Ephesians 2:4-6a.

But
because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with
Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been
saved. And God
raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in
Christ Jesus….
This statement of reality has been an
uplifting revelation for me as I think about death. I don’t have to die to join
Jesus. In the here and now I can
experience life with Jesus. Further
proof we are living in privileged space.
Update
on Condition:
Last week my platelets dropped to 6. Normal is 150 to 400. They’ve been in steady decline and as a
result, I underwent a transfusion of platelets. Today, testing showed the platelets had
climbed to 25. Further chemo has been
suspended. For now we wait for the
platelets count to rebound and what further treatment is possible. We anticipated treatment could result in
complications. However, I feel fine except for fatigue. Thank you all for your prayers for Mary and
me. We see the working of His Spirit
daily in the strength He extends to both of us.

Tim,
Thank you for your moving insights and keeping us all posted on how you are doing. I think of you and your circumstances often and lifting you up in prayer. May God richly supply you over and abundantly with joy, strength, and continued revelations that leave you with deep peace and a very real awareness of the Spirit's presence. It's evident that you are living between the spheres of the perishable experience of being human and immortal/unchanging glory of the kingdom. I witnessed this with my Dad who saw things we couldn't and resigned himself gracefully and peacefully to circumstances out of his control. Blessings and Peace be to you along with very poignant family moments. ~Gordon
