Over the course of a lifetime in full waking consciousness starting at the age of 12, I have been raptured up to the Presence of Jesus, both in His earthly life and in the glories of Heaven. These were complete mysteries to me until He began to reveal them to me gradually after 50 years had passed since I was in the great sorrow of His Presence at the Crucifixion, my first personal meeting and Covenant with Jesus.
These Teachings of The Godhead are the words He gave to me to record according to an order He had given me in one of our encounters to "Prepare the works of Living Waters" in a message sung to me by choirs of Angels in a rapturous aria reminiscent of Handel's Messiah.
One common factor that was present in all of my raptures in the glory of Jesus has been ecstasy, even during the devastating sorrow of beholding Him at the Crucifixion. Therefore, ecstasy is a common thread in the soul's relationship with Jesus, which we begin to taste even in this world more and more as we relate with Him in our daily lives. To not do so is to not be properly prepared, like the unwise virgins, for His soon return to earth, as the Scriptures have predicted.
Let us endeavor to grow our relationship with Jesus everyday to make our lives glorious even as we wait for the Bridegroom's arrival. Since this relationship is ultimately spiritual at the core, it can be relished even now in our souls to the degree that we surrender to His truth and living instructions.
