Tears Fall Up

While listening to Pastor Heare's simple yet profound, "Kingdom of Heaven" message in the early service, the

LORD impressed upon my spirit an interesting thought: "Tears fall up."

Different scriptures came to mind such as:

You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle.You have recorded each one in your book.

Psalm 56:8

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.

You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,

Psalm 30:11

and

When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the LORD;
And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.

Jonah 2:7

When another came to mind, being Matthew 11:30," ...For My yoke is easy and My burden is light,” it occurred to me that the Kingdom of Heaven seems to itself have no gravity, but more than that, it has the power to reverse the earth's!

Something to do with the laws of physics literally being re-created within the Kingdom of Heaven...

More thoughts based on scripture come to mind, "His ways are not our ways....higher than our ways...beyond searching out...surpasses understanding."

Kind of bizarre (all of it, I know!) and so I pondered it again during the second service...and it was like a door of understanding opened.

Suddenly, I realized God was saying that the problem is that we live in the present.

The Kingdom of Heaven is here now.... when we live as if it is.

When we believe in the promises of the Word and not what we can see.

The solution becomes: we must live each day in the eternal.

"Living in the eternal" is living as if God's promises have been, are being and will be realized, right now.

When Jesus died on the Cross, and the veil was torn and it was as if with His last words of "It is finished," He held back the power of the past forever. Visualize Him on the cross...the past is behind the cross. It could go no further! Our pasts are behind Him on the cross.

At the moment of His passing, the veil was torn, the earth quaked and rocks split. The Kingdom of Heaven had begun breaking through. Could the physical elements of the earth have been thrown off axis...thus the eclipse, the quake, the resurrections and the splitting of the rocks?

Is it possible that on that day a doorway into Heaven opened and because there was no longer separation..."eternity in the hearts of men" was now a reality in which we as mere mortals now had "access" to?

Is it possible that His death held back the past, re-ordered present realities and His resurrection catapulted us forward, even past the future, into a completely different realm called: eternity?

A realm where "by faith" we enter into the promises of the Kingdom.

We must live our "now" in the "perfect" tense...as if the promises of the WORD have already become our present truth.

Perfect tense refers to "actions now completed," thus "perfect."

A place where the gravity of what holds us back and binds us is no more.

We are weightless in a place where we know tears fall up, sorrows turn into joy, burdens are light, and love knows no boundaries.

A place called the Kingdom of Heaven.

Just a thought...
