There Is Much More Going On
In the World and in The Kingdom of God
Than What Meets the Eye of Mortal Man.
The Natural Man Cannot See It
Nor Can He Understand It.
You Must Be Born Again, as Jesus Told Nicodemus [John 3].
And Jesus told the Samaritan Woman at Jacob’s Well
That God is spirit; and He seeks those who will worship Him
In spirit and in truth. [John 4].

“The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. ‘For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” -1 Corinthians 2: 14-16. ESV Study Bible.
“Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
Nor the heart of man imagined,
What God has prepared for those who love him” –
These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.” -1 Corinthians 2: 6-10. ESV Study Bible.

Coming Back to Kate . . . Very Early This Morning
Though She Be in Ukraine and I Be in the USA
We had a kind and loving reconciliation online on this date of August 13, 2024. The reason I believe this is because Kate is talking to me again; after several days of silence. And then, later, when I was alone again and loving her in the Spirit — in the good comfort of peace from our reconciliation –the following thoughts came to mind. And after writing them down, I thought: these inspiring thoughts would not have come to me without the goodness of love between us bearing this fruit. And though these thoughts may not seem to have anything to do with Kate & Mark they may still be a sign of the newness of life that happens by the grace of God through faith in the gospel and believing on the Son of God – a spiritual miracle of understanding the new birth and new life and a new heavens and a new earth that True God will miraculously bring into being at the appointed time for those who truly believe in Him and receive his Holy Spirit into their hearts.

Maybe the reason I need Kate for Love is because I’m not spiritual enough to be able to love the Lord Who Is Spirit. Maybe I can only believe ON Him; but still need Kate to love her – because I can see her online. And God made man in His own image; male and female. And Kate’s beautifulness is because God is beautiful; and when He created woman, He gave her His Beauty – since she is made in the image of God. And maybe that’s why her beautifulness opens the gates of my heart for loving her – because she is made in the image of True God Who created her. And maybe that’s why my love for her feels like adoring love – because she evokes in my heart the love for God my Maker. And maybe, the love in my heart comes from God my Maker — since God is Love – and God is also Light and Spirit. Maybe I see Kate by the Light of Christ the Son OV God. He is the Light of the world. Maybe there is more to Kate and more to Woman than what meets the eye of man.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
“And he who was seated on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ And he said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.’” -Revelation 21: 1-8.

Gospel Tract – The Rapture – Moments With The Book (mwtb.org)
“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” -Hebrews 11: 6. ESV Study Bible.
“But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the first born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.”
“See to it that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns us from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, ‘Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.’ This phrase, ‘Yet once more,’ indicates the removal of things that are shaken – that is, things that have been made – in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” -Hebrews 12: 22-29. ESV Study Bible.

Coming back to Kate . . .
The name Kate means Pure . . .
Dearest Kate in Ukraine: Please Kate . . . please believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ, Kate. Please believe ON our Lord and Savior, Kate – and be saved. I’m begging you, Kate. If it be God’s will for me to be there in the heavenly Jerusalem, Kate . . . how much more heavenly it will be for me if you are there also, Kate. How heavenly it will be, Kate, to see you there for the first time ever, in Eternity, where we shall both be regenerated with the glorious regeneration of our bodies – that will become just like the glorious resurrected body OV our Lord Jesus at His glorious resurrection three days after He died and was buried; and I will be as young as you are Kate; and may True God make me so gloriously beautiful for you – as you are already so beautiful to me, Kate; so you will find me as attractive as I already find you, Kate.”
Kate: “Mark, how do you imagine it might be for us to meet in heaven ? What will it be like, I wonder.”
Mark: “Well, first, let’s remember “But, as it is written, ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him’ – these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.” -1Corinthians 2: 9-10. ESV Study Bible. Therefore, Kate, if you will do as the Scriptures tell us to do by confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believing in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. And when you are saved Kate, the Lord Jesus will send his Holy Spirit into your heart, by Whose Spirit you will cry “Abba, Father!” And thus you will be filled with His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and understanding, Kate; and your heart will be filled with the joy of His Holy Spirit and with the love of God shed abroad in your heart, also.”
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” -Romans 5: 1-5. ESV Study Bible.
Romans 8
Romans 8 ESV – Life in the Spirit – There is therefore – Bible Gateway
“In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.” -Ephesians 1: 11-14. ESV Study Bible.
“For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.” -Ephesians 1: 15-23. ESV Study Bible.
“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience – among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you have been saved – and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” -Ephesians 2: 1-10. ESV Study Bible.
“But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, ‘Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” -Romans 10: 8-13. ESV Study Bible.
