Two Conduits to Eternity

Mat 25:1-13 KJV Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. (2) And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. (3) They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: (4) But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (5) While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. (6) And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. (7) Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. (8) And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. (9) But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. (10) And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. (11) Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. (12) But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. (13) Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Conduits or better said two directions to eternity. In Matthew 25 the virgins who were waiting all fell asleep. But to what will we awake to. An altered state of reality? Or the true reality that we have been left behind because we were busy doing good. Good things can be bad if done at the wrong time. When the Bridegroom, Jesus comes back to get His Bride that would not be the time to get ready for His coming. That would be the time to take what ever you have and leave with Him. He has more than enough oil with Him to supply our need for enlightenment.

Our enemy can make a good copy not because he has any creativity but because it is said of him that he is more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. Cunning meaning prudent, crafty and subtle than any beast or creature that the LORD has made. So it would be too wise for us to lean to our own knowledge or any understanding concerning him. I personally believe that our enemy the serpent or Satan cannot create but mimic us to such a degree that he can piggy back on our power to create. Or better said alter the reality that we perceive when given this authority by us. Man has already done this once in Adam. Personally I have let our enemy gain ground on my life by allowing him to use my eyes and other members for his purpose and not those of God. And when he has a piece of us he our enemy does not let go just because you ask him to leave you alone.

We have authority given by Jesus to His church to create or to call those things that are already created by our God into our lives. Jesus is the last Adam and He has taken what we have given to our enemy back for us to subdue this earth in His name. But how long will the Bridegroom do this for us?

He has said He will never leave us or forsake us. This promise will stand throughout eternity, but we have enough of the things of eternity in us to leave him. We are created in His likeness. Without him we can even use his principles to live a good earthly life. But there are times when the best we can do is not good enough. So what then. Divine intervention is needed and if not asked for and desired with everything we are and have, because we are not aware of our need, those of us who have given ground to the enemy will perish.

Where does this enlightenment or awareness come from. From my personal experience my lamp is not enough for this cold, cold world. Not enough heat or light for my feet. Our enemy does not have to attack always. People in themselves are cruel and we don't have to learn how to be from our enemy its the other way around sometimes. Remember we have the power of likeness. So if you think you can do this life by yourself go head. I happen to live in a free country. God is not mocked. I may be, but who am I compared to God the Most High. But I have decided to follow Jesus the oil is built in. Remember, if you don't hear from me again.
