REVELATION 3:18, COUNSEL, BUY, ANOINT — 9TH MESSAGE.....(SUN AM 7/9/1995)
(International Convention) The Bible says that the Tree of Life in the New City grows out of the River of Life. The River of Life is really the gratitude of the Holy Spirit that comes out of the eyes of the Lamb and flows down under the Throne and out through the middle of the New City. So life is gratitude.

In the middle of that River is a Street, and the only way a River can have a Street is for it to be frozen. From under God’s Throne comes a River. This message talks about the spiritual eyesight that we get from the Atonement Blood. The idea is to put the eyesight of these eyes in a oneness of relationship with the eyesight of Christ, Who sees everything exactly as the Father sees it. Through the Son of God, we are able to see as He sees, and when we are in the Tower of His Name, we are able to move on up with eyesight.

The Heavenly Father lives in one world of Delight. He has a Law and a Master Plan and a Purposive Will; and it depends on how we choose and react to those things as to which side of the scales we end up on. But what we choose down here does not affect His Delight.

This message mentions the two sides of joy—the Bridegroom’s outer joy and the Bride’s inner joy. Isaiah 12:2,3; Psalm 87:5,7; and Ephesians 3:9-15 were also discussed in this message in relation to the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times.
