FROM MOUNTAIN TO VALLEY
Jenny Wren

I have to descend from life’s rugged mountain
Way up where I had felt the spiritual high,
Lying below me there is a vast dark valley
I am shaking my head, then I start to cry.

But Jesus speaks "Jenny, I will go with thee
Let not your heart be filling up with alarm,
I promise to lead you, you just follow me
I'll keep you safe from any and all harm"

I will not perish down there in that valley
God’s promises, now I know they are true,
Once again Lord will guide and lead me
Somehow I know we'll go safely through.

Seems I have often lived in the valley
Yes, we have lived through quite a while,
Remembering promises my Lord made
His tested words so true, I have to smile.

Fertile soil is washing down into the valley
From mountain tops rising so high above,
Here in these valleys, tis' time for growing
Experiencing this life while feeling love.

Learning to trust in what faith I still have
Descending into the valley of life so deep,
"Rest now child by the pool of clear water,"
I Understand Lord, My soul you will keep

The Kingdom of God is Spiritual.

God’s kingdom is spiritual just as the Holy Spirit is spiritual.
His scripture becomes spiritual in the teaching of it
just as we are images of God. We are as mere human beings
here on this earth, what is saved, not our bodies (that is earthen matter),
but people are looking for a literal kingdom to come here,
just as the Scribes and Pharisees looked for one.

That is the reason they killed Jesus. They did not recognize
that they already had been blessed with the King of glory,
because He did not appear as they thought he should appear;
they believed him not, called him a blasphemer and killed him.
Not until the aftershock of his death and the fact that he arose
after the earth quaked in its madness for them killing God’s child.
(the child of God sent to save them) containing God himself.

They wanted an earthly king, just as the people today; still want
to 'see' an earthly king in rule over them.

It is not going to happen here. The earth is slowly depleting itself as
our human bodies are dying. When Jesus comes in His glory he will
take his people home with him, and we shall be like him.
Little do they know that the glorified bodied of Jesus is spiritual
right now, and can appear just as quickly as a blink of the eye. We
shall be changed that quickly as well.

We become spiritual beings also with glorified body as children of
God. The spirit that lives within is forever changing your soul into
what God will have you be. He said himself the more and more
you grow into being like him the less and less you shall be like your
own self, because the kingdom is of His spiritual change. The word
of God is what makes this so, as we go through, these words of God
go through us, miraculously changing us into what God wishes.

The word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, cutting and
separating the spirit and soul from the body of blood and bones.
The accepting spirit now belongs to God, in our slow transference
of growing and trusting our faith following the commands of Jesus.

Believing in and following Him as our Master. His bloodshed was
given for each of us. Should each of us believe, we will be saved.
But woe is us if we do not believe that Jesus is God covered in human flesh,
gave of himself for each of us.

Therefore becoming the tree of life to each one who believes in Him,
eating and drinking of his bloodshed for us, we take this communion
of bread and blood as a reminder of who it is and why we celebrate
His giving of everlasting life to each of us,

Jesus is indeed the tree of life, the same tree in the Garden of Eden
so long ago, which heals and gives renewed everlasting life to the believer
just as the metaphor of the tree in the midst of the garden.

The ground was at that time cursed and our bodies were made of
earth, from what we partake in food, by what we eat, the salvation of the
Lord's giving of sacrifice of Himself is our salvation.

Praise God for enlightening, from the Holy Spirit. Because of Jesus,
but the soul of the saved mankind will go back to God, when our death
comes, if our death comes before Jesus returns. The Holy Spirit of
God lives inside of mankind teaching him, bringing them to realization
of the kingdom of God.

When the new heaven and earth comes, all will be forgotten of these
trials of living on this earth, and our own wilderness days will then be
over. It is then that each knee will bow, confessing that  He is Lord.
But he who does not believe is condemned already. The bloodshed
of our sacrifice is the covering that 'keeps our sinful selves fit for saving,

We, in ourselves are nothing. We are God’s little children, and know
truths that many will not believe. My body now groans to be covered
with my new immortal body of glorified flesh, just as my Master Jesus
had to endure. God help us to achieve and receive our reward of
eternal life, with Him. When the time comes, trust in Him as those in
heaven trust in Him.
