Intro
I received the following from The Holy Spirit, one morning, in March of 2023, which is the fulfillment of what I wanted and prayed for the most.

Message
He, The Holy Spirit, is The Spirit and heart of God, contains all and feeds, fills and overflows us with His spiritual “milk” for the young and the “water of life” and “bread of life” for all, “strong meat” and “new wine” for the mature, then the sweet “fruit of The Spirit” for dessert, as we dine at “the marriage supper of The Lamb”, Jesus. All are invited, already in God’s heart of hearts, so “come up here” and see how you’re “seated in heavenly places”, at His “banqueting table.” ☺
The following scriptures are found through keyword searching, I find them very encouraging, and I hope you do too ☺ If you are reading and wondering what it means, feel free to contact me, I’d be happy to try and explain.

1 Corinthians 2:11-13 TPT
After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by His Spirit, The Spirit of God. For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but The Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us. And we articulate these realities with the words imparted to us by The Spirit and not with the words taught by human wisdom. We join together Spirit-revealed truths with Spirit-revealed words.

The Holy Spirit is God’s heart, He knows God’s innermost thoughts, and we have him, so we can understand God’s heart, too.

Acts 17:22-31 TPT
22 So Paul stood in the middle of the leadership council and said “Respected leaders of Athens, it is clear to me how extravagant you are in your worship of idols.
23 For as I walked your city, I was captivated by the many shrines and objects of your worship. I even found an inscription on one altar that read ‘To the unknown God.’ I have come to introduce to you this God whom you worship without even knowing anything about him.
24 The true God is The Creator of all things. He is the owner and Lord of the heavenly realm and the earthly realm, and he doesn’t live in man-made temples.
25 He supplies life and breath and all things to every living being. He doesn’t lack a thing that we mortals could supply him, for he has all things and everything he needs.
26 From one man, Adam, he made every man and woman and every race of humanity, and he spread us over all the earth. He sets the boundaries of people and nations, determining their appointed times in history.
27 He has done this so that every person would long for God, feel their way to him, and find him – for he is the God who is easy to discover!
28 It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, ‘Our lineage comes from him.’
29 Since our lineage can be traced back to God, how could we even think that the divine image could be compared to something made of gold, silver, or stone, sculpted by man’s artwork and clever imagination?
30 In the past God tolerated our ignorance of these things, but now the time of deception has passed away. He commands us all to repent and turn to God.
31 For the appointed day has risen, in which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by the man he has designated. And the proof given to the world that God has chosen this man is this: he resurrected him from among the dead!”

We have a righteous identity in Christ, and God contains all.

Isaiah 28:9-12 AMPC
9 To whom will He teach knowledge? And whom will He make to understand the message? Those who are babies just weaned from the milk and taken from the breasts?
10 For it is [His prophets repeating over and over]: precept upon precept, precept upon precept, rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little.
11 No, but [The Lord will teach the rebels in a more humiliating way] by men with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people [says Isaiah, and teach them His lessons].
12 To these [complaining Jews The Lord] had said, This is the true rest [the way to true comfort and happiness] that you shall give to the weary, and, This is the refreshing – yet they would not listen [to His teaching].

God uses those that normally have difficulty communicating to teach his way.

Revelation 7:17 AMPC
For The Lamb Who is in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to the springs of the waters of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 21:6 AMPC
And He [further] said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty, I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life.”

John 6:35 AMPC
Jesus replied, “I am The Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time).”

Hebrews 5:14 TPT
But solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge with an understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful.

True nourishment is found in relating with Jesus via his Holy Spirit.

Ezekiel 36:26 AMPC
A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Matthew 9:16-17 AMPC
16 And no one puts a piece of cloth that has not been shrunk on an old garment, for that patch tears away from the garment and a worse rent (tear) is made.
17 Neither is new wine put in old wineskins; for if it is, the skins burst and are torn in pieces, and the wine is spilled and the skins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.

The new wine, or joy of The Holy Spirit, is put in new hearts, so both are preserved.

Acts 2:1-8 TPT
On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place. Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house from out of the heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear! Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them. They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues – empowered by The Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned! Now, at that time there were Jewish worshipers who had emigrated from many different lands to live in Jerusalem. When the people of the city heard the roaring sound, crowds came running to where it was coming from, stunned over what was happening, because each one could hear the disciples speaking in his or her own language. Bewildered, they said to one another, “Aren’t these all Galileans? So how is it that we hear them speaking in our own languages?”

Acts 2:12-18 TPT
They all stood there, dumbfounded and astonished, saying to one another, “What is this phenomenon?” But others poked fun at them and said, “They’re just drunk on new wine.” Peter stood up with the eleven apostles and shouted to the crowd. “Listen carefully, my fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem. You need to clearly understand what’s happening here. These people are not drunk like you think they are, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. This is the fulfillment of what was prophesied through the prophet Joel, for God says: ‘This is what I will do in the last days – I will pour out my Spirit on everybody and cause your sons and daughters to prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will experience dreams from God. The Holy Spirit will come upon all my servants, men and women alike, and they will prophesy.'”

We are in the last days, ever since The Holy Spirit came down on Pentecost, when God poured out his spirit on all flesh.

Galatians 5:22-23 TPT
…The fruit produced by The Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit. Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.

Revelation 19:9 AMPC
Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of The Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God.

Everyone is invited to this supper, and blessed.

Revelation 4:1 AMPC
After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard addressing me like [the calling of] a war trumpet said, Come up here, and I will show you what must take place in the future.

Revelation 11:11-12 AMPC
11 But after three and a half days, by God’s gift the breath of life again entered into them, and they rose up on their feet, and great dread and terror fell on those who watched them.
12 Then [the two witnesses] heard a strong voice from heaven calling to them, Come up here! And before the very eyes of their enemies, they ascended into heaven in a cloud.

Ephesians 2:4-9 AMPC
4 But God – so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us,
5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favour and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation).
6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (The Messiah, The Anointed One).
7 He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favour) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favour) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;
9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment of The Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it, or take glory to himself.]

Believers of Christ already ascended to God’s level, because they are in Christ, who ascended.

Luke 14:12-24 AMPC
12 Jesus also said to the man who had invited Him, When you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbours, lest perhaps they also invite you in return, and so you are paid back.
13 But when you give a banquet or a reception, invite the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind.
14 Then you will be blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied), because they have no way of repaying you, and you will be recompensed at the resurrection of the just (upright).
15 When one of those who reclined [at the table] with Him heard this, he said to Him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is he who shall eat bread in The Kingdom of God!
16 But Jesus said to him, A man was once giving a great supper and invited many;
17 And at the hour for the supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all is now ready.
18 But they all alike began to make excuses and to beg off. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land and have to go out and see it; I beg you, have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yokes of oxen, and I am going to examine and put my approval on them; I beg you, have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and because of this I am unable to come.
21 So the servant came and reported these [answers] to his master. Then the master of the house said in wrath to his servant, Go quickly into the great streets and the city’s small streets and bring in here the poor and the disabled and the blind and the lame.
22 And the servant [returning] said, Sir, what you have commanded me to do has been done, and yet there is room.
23 Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain [them] to yield and come in, so that my house may be filled.
24 For I tell you, not one of those who were invited shall taste my supper.

Invite the needy, because they know they need God.

Luke 10:38-42 MSG
38-40 As they continued their travel, Jesus entered a village. A woman by the name of Martha welcomed him and made him feel quite at home. She had a sister, Mary, who sat before The Master, hanging on every word he said. But Martha was pulled away by all she had to do in the kitchen. Later, she stepped in, interrupting them. “Master, don’t you care that my sister has abandoned the kitchen to me? Tell her to lend me a hand.”
41-42 The Master said, “Martha, dear Martha, you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it – it’s the main course, and won’t be taken from her.”

If you’re in a Holy Spirit relationship with Jesus, the main course, it will never be taken from you.

Hebrews 9:28 b NLT
…He was offered once and for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.

Jesus will visit those who eagerly wait for him, to bring salvation.

Revelation 11:15 TPT
Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and a loud voice broke forth in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world has become The Kingdom of our God and of his Anointed One! He will reign supreme for an eternity of eternities!”

Romans 14:17 TPT, Paraphrased
For The Kingdom of God is not a matter of [physical] food and drink, but is in the realm of The Holy Spirit, filled with righteousness, peace, and joy.

The Kingdom of Heaven is The Holy Spirit and we enjoy the fruit of Him.

1 Samuel 3:21 AMPC
And The Lord continued to appear in Shiloh, for The Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh through the word of The Lord.

Ecclesiastes 8:4 AMPC
For the word of a king is authority and power, and who can say to him, What are you doing?

Hebrews 1:3 TPT
The Son is the dazzling radiance of God’s splendour, the exact expression of God’s true nature – his mirror image! He holds the universe together and expands it by the mighty power of his spoken word. He accomplished for us the complete cleansing of sins and then took his seat on the highest throne at the right hand of the majestic One.

The Lord just powerfully appeared to you through Godsword.
