No. 53 Bouquet of Bowes and the Gone

Truly I tell you, whatever you bind (tie together) on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose (release) on earth will be loosed in heaven.  Matthew 18:18

 “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the belt of Orion?” Job 38:31

With His commands Jesus tells us what He likes and what He is like. When we conform to His likeness, we appropriate not only His characteristics but His authority and privileges. We are gods who co-create heaven and earth.

The concept that we, His followers and aspiring immortals, form unions and associations that will endure forever is nothing short of magnificent, but it is not unlike all of the other great expectations Jesus has of us, such as to walk on water and heal the sick.

I love my puppy, my parents, my pond, my books, my cherished friends, and my church. I have tied them to my life with pretty bows. With this Mark I am assured that we will be together forever.

Thank you God that those who have been mean to me, even hatred itself, and abortions, and arrogance, and rancor and bitterness, hostility and chaos, all that I can release; I push those away to be gone forever both in heaven and on earth, away as a helium balloon to be dissolved in eternity, never to be seen again.
Relief unimaginable!

To the extent possible by each and every one of us, let’s all cover ourselves with pretty bows of goodness for as long as we are on earth, and let the evil of the world slide off and fall away.

If everyone hits this Mark together, like we are told to, what a beautiful vacation spot this can be, until we go Home!
