LIVING LIGHT
“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4
“The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.” Revelation 21:23
Just as the sages have written, the Veil does not fully open. So you have decided to take the step past the Veil that has stopped just over half way up your body, far from the top of the Four Golden Posts. Yet, your hunger for more of God’s presence, in spite of the major case of nerves you are experiencing, nudges you forward.
Still bowing, your face toward the ground, the light that once seemed to seep from under the Veil, has become blinding and you have yet to look up to see any form there may be of the presence of God. There is an unearthly nature concerning the radiance of this light. It is so different than the light of the Lampstand and the Sunlight you felt in the Outercourt. The light seems to radiate from every direction, and that light encompasses everything. You now understand why there is no need for the Sun in Heaven.
SOOTHING LIGHT
Slowly taking the second and third steps your face is still toward the ground. You are deathly afraid to look up. But, there is something about the light that strengthens you. You actually feel it’s soothing presence on your skin, and it far surpasses the peaceful warmth you remember of the sun touching your skin on a cold, early spring day. This light is giving you life, and your entire body deeply feels it.
SOOTHING LIGHT
Divine elements are happening with lightening speed. Within moments you feel more than the light touching your skin, you feel it entering your body. Its very presence enters you with each breath. You can feel it flowing through you - it is so different than the air you breathe outside this room. This light is alive, it is actually living, and as it enters you and courses through you, you are being regenerated at a cellular level. You now know, at a profoundly different level, the reality that His light is the Life of the world.
DIVINE AWARENESS
You are becoming aware of your created composition at a sub-cellular level and you are having Divine understanding enter your thought processes. You understand without knowing how you understand. The Creator, your Creator, is letting you know how completely He knows you. He is allowing you to track your creation, and in so doing God is allowing to you to have simultaneous awareness or a sliver of His Omniscience. You are learning how He totally and completely keeps track of all created matter, visible and invisible, above the Earth, on the earth, and beneath the Earth - there is nothing He is not aware of. He is never caught by surprise.
It is so easy for you to know all that is going on inside of you. You have perfect awareness of every cell that is dividing, each sub cellular particle that moves, and every disease, or malady is instantly known. Anything that is not functioning according to His Laws of Creation stands out like florescent orange on a hunter’s hat. You sense the Divine synchronization inherent in God’s Creation.
SPEECHLESS
You are in Awe and that word is trite compared to all you are living through right now. You begin to comprehend that the High Priest entered here to present himself and the people to God and the trade would be that He saw the presence of God. But, this was far from an even trade. What one experiences and comes away with from this experience changes every perception, every fragment of spiritual understanding; it changes everything - literally everything. You are cognoscente of the Divine order, the Divine Nature of all that comes from Him, and all that exists comes from and through Him.
Yes, life on the other side, outside this Room of Mystery, will never be the same. You can’t help but think; “I thought this journey was about preparing me to stand before God, when it was actually preparing me to be a witness of His existence and the reality of His intricate, interactive, moment by moment, involvement in my life and the lives of all who will follow Him.”
You still have not been able to look up, but you are becoming stronger, as His presence, life, and light infuse you. You hear strange noises and you are compelled to look to see what is making all this sound. As you slowly stand upright, you are struck with an even deeper sense of majesty and Awe, it is ………… .
Blessings,
John Paul

You can’t help but think; “I thought this journey was about preparing me to stand before God, when it was actually preparing me to be a witness of His existence and the reality of His intricate, interactive, moment by moment, involvement in my life and the lives of all who will follow Him.” Amen…our lives will never be the same again, behold the KING, CREATOR of all things, our LOVE and LIFE! Revelation 4.
HAPPY NEW YEAR John Paul and to all y’all!!!
We had three of our grandkids spend the night with us last night and they were hungry for pizza today.
Kenzie, my 10 yr. old g’daughter, and I drove into town to pick up some pizza. When we came out of the pizza parlor I held unto one of the bread stick bags so she and I could munch on one on the way home.
As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I looked back and saw two filthy “homeless” looking young men going through the dumpster looking for scraps of food. I drove to them and handed them the warm bread stick bag and they were touched to get the bread.
I got a few blocks away and I knew I had to give them the pizza that I had bought—so I turned around and drove up and down a few streets until I found them. They couldn’t believe it when I handed them the pizza and told them that JESUS LOVES YOU…
I went back into the pizza parlor and ordered more pizza and bread sticks. The cashier looked at me and said you must have been hungry to eat that pizza so quickly. I told her about the hungry men looking in her dumpster for food and I had given the bread and pizza to them. Her mouth gaped open and she looked at me like I was crazy….
The ironic thing is that many years ago, our son, when he was a teen got into drugs heavily and ran away from home and we did not know where he was for many months. (He is Kenzie’s dad, but she does not know about this.)
All the time he was missing, my husband and I prayed for God to put godly people in his life and to help him because we knew he could not help himself.
GOD brought him home and he got off drugs and alcohol.
He is married with two precious children and goes to a little Baptist church. Today is his 35th birthday.
We go through many trials through life and think GOD doesn’t hear our prayers, but HE is the GOD of the impossible!!!
I hope you see many answers to prayer this year and
see GOD bringing you victory!!!
Love,
Linda
I cannot tell you how this blog; this journey; over these months has mirrored my life and experiences. Often times to the day you post it. Thank you for the amazing insights John Paul and PLEASE keep us going.
And of the INCREASE of His kingdom there shall be no end. Are you kidding me!

I had an experience like this once and never heard of anyone having something similar. I was aware of my being and God’s being as if He and I were every other atom. It can only be likened to something like the H2O bond. Every other atom was next to each other but I was still myself and He was still Himself…together yet different. I never saw or heard anything but I felt like I knew everything thing there was to know that was important about everything. I understood calculus without numbers or symbols…I could just think and see it all at one time. I understood everything it seemed. In my joy to experience God like this I blurted out without thinking ‘I’ll do whatever you want me to.’ It was as if I could repay Him for the experience. It was great folly and the experience began to leave me. I begged for it to stay but it was slipping away and along with it the knowledge. I tried to memorize things but one by one they slipped from me. All I was left with was the knowledge of having the experience and that even when I am not aware He is as close as every other molecule in my body.
Happy New Year John Paul, Et. All, Ya’All:
That’s all’ ya’ll New Englandeese, lol. Linda that was a great testimony and once again thank you for the christmas card that you sent in the mail. It was thoughtful. Christmas came and went and we did the best we could and when it comes down to it,it was all about experiencing Jesus through our loved ones. Some members of my family were elsewhere, but we had a wonderful love fest with the ones that were present. After the yankee swap, my brother in-law brought his guitar, and that was all we needed, a guitar, some family love, and well tuned voices and boy did all 28 of us sing, lol. The christmas songs were sung in a way we haven’t sung them before, especially the 12 days of christmas, our family were 4 calling birds. We definitely used our imagination and good humor on that one. I come from a family of 3 siblings, me being the oldest, my husband comes from a family of 10 and 4 of his brothers and sisters are married with grown up children, so you can imagine, what it was like. If we all bought our instruments, we could actually have had a christmas variety show, lol. Fun was had by all and I wish , all, ya’all were there too, because all, ya’all were in my heart at that moment. I feel like I have grown up coming to this blog over the past 2 years. Now we are coming into the 3rd year, here on Coffee Talk and I am looking forward to going deeper. Wow, the Lord works in 3’s. I do anticipate powerful God encounters as the year goes on for all’ Ya’ll, this includes you, John Paul, lol. Happy Holy and Blessed New Year filled with the Glory of God and all of His goodness.

Thank you. Your words have brought me much to think about at a time in my life where God has brought me to a cross roads-either path is ok, it is my choice, but I know which one I must take-now, with a passion, with a self discipline and perseverance and finally with total reliance on Him who has made a way for me. Thank you
Hey John Paul!!!
I am doubling up my prayers for you this week as you minister with John Kilpatrick later this week. May God release clear “insight” to all that attend.
It takes a bold man (in the spirit) to ride in from Texas into Alabama on January 7th……..
When you are praising and worshiping the LORD–make sure your hands don’t by accident “hook ‘em horns!”
Linda
This Light, it is an unearthly, pulsating, living, moving, dancing Light. I see scriptures carved into the walls living, breathing, liquid light, moving, scrolling across the walls, as if they are alive. Hebrews 2:17 “…He is our Merciful High Priest…” Colossians 2:13 “God, made us alive in Christ” Ephesians 5:17 “Do not be unwise, but understand.” Psalm 85:10 “…righteousness and peace have kissed…” – The Cross! 1 John 1:7 “If we walk in the Light as He is in the Light we have fellowship with one another and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” Hebrews 11:8-10 “By faith, Abraham was looking for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”
This divine paradox, of “understanding, yet not knowing how I understand?” Yes, it’s all becoming crystal clear, it’s only in His Light that we see Light. This place, this is what God showed Moses up on the mountain – the Temple of God in eternity – that came to earth, a shadow of what was to come, pointing towards the Cross and God’s ultimate restoration, reconciliation and redemption of mankind in the future City of God – The New Jerusalem – where the redeemed dwell in the midst of the throne of God; where “ there is no need for the sun or the moon, for the Glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world - is its Light.”
Thank you John Paul for clarifying the facts about the veil and the posts. This series continues to be awesome.
25 years ago I built a scale model of the tabernacle because I could not find any models. I studied exodus for six months, read about 30 books on the subject and spent an hour a day for 2 years building a model, 36 X 18 inches. I have over 200 slides and fourteen sermons on the tabernacle. It sits in a glass table of shewbread that can be carried with poles.
Your series has really enlightened and expanded my knowledge of the subject. More important it has increased my capacity to worship the Lord and increase the awe factor of the God we serve. Thank you so much for taking the time to invest in this awesome study.

Dear John Paul Jackson, greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am so bless by “Coffee Talk” that I wonder if it is possible to have a hard copy of your most recent “Coffee Talk” as this is exatly where I am or should I say what I am going true at the moment?
Please inform.
Thanks
Yours in Christ,
Sonia Messias
The posts I have written will be coming out as a book shortly after I have completed all the Lord has gien me to say concerning Transitions, and the Spiritual Life found in the Tabernacle. Thank all of you who have asked me to put this into a book.
Dear Coffee Talk Blog Family:
Happy New Year “Restoration of All Things 2010″:
As the veil is being lifted the individuals within my family, namely my children are being restored. Finally,my oldest daughter who is now 26 years of age after being delivered from drug abuse has just enrolled in a GED/Medical Assistant program and she is starting on January 7th, which is today. She is heading in a good direction and she said that after she finishes this program which 10 months, she is going to go to nursing school. When she was 3 years of age she asked Jesus into her heart but then the enemy had a field day with her and fairly recently she rededicated her life back to the Lord. So, now in this next phase of her life calling please continue to keep her in your prayers. She feels called to be a medical missionary, she has always spoken about this several times. Please pray for her, her name is Jacqui. God is so good. Thank you Jesus, for the restoration not only in our family but the families represented here in this Blog.
Blessings!

Does this light so overwhelme you? i keep haveing waves of feeling upset , by all i now see and hear . No i dont understand yet i do , doesnt make sense does it? yet the gift God has given me is A whole lot of fun , maybe He gave it to me cause i get real nervous and so like a child i enjoy this beautiful gift, i dont know what to do with it ,i just enjoy it and trust my father i cant even make sense of anything but i have a deep understanding within without words (not of this world), sometimes i think am i an alien or from another plannet, because i am so overwhelmed by everything , i am not the brightest kid in town but then doesnt matter because HE ALONE IS THE LIGHT IN THIS WORLD.

This is so far above what the human mind can handle. Thank you. You are such a Man of God Sara
JPJ—–The Book- Best Seller List!!!!!
You don’t remember unbuttoning–or unzipping–or casting off–but suddenly—in your approach you have lost your outer covering (tunic) and stand exposed before HIM…
There is no shame or guilt.
You are not merely naked but are standing in a state of transparency.
As the veil is being lifted,and we are about to behold His wonderful face in all His Glory, the people of Haiti, the poorest country on the face of the earth on this side of the western Hemisphere was hit with a catastrophic earthquake of a magnitude of 7.0 on the ricter scale. Concrete building’sare falling on women, children, and those who have been called to work among the people. What’s even worse, the hospital in Port Au Prince, the capitol of Haiti is completely destroyed as I am typing this with my heart sunk down to my feet and tears in my eyes, nearly 2 million people are sitting in the street in the dark no food, no pillow, full of fear and terror, no medical, while we sit here in America, listening to useless arguments why we don’t need health care reform. Well take a good look at Haiti, in this geophysical storm and let it speak to your heart. The poor are “God’s Special Anawim”. My in-laws are down their doing what they have always done in love and are their in Haiti helping the people they are in love with. Attached to this is a video of where to send funds. My in-laws have a very well respected Medical Outreach for over 20 years and they and their staff are doing all they can to help the people of Haiti, especially in response to this latest catastrophe, please keep them in your prayers for protection, Lord, no Tsunami’s please!
Video plea for Haiti:

Hello to all of you and best of years be yours in 2010:
It has been a tremendous experience since I spoke to you in November. My mind literally exploded. But like One of Those the experience is fading in my memory and I know what is true but it is too high and cannot remain attained. Am living in the twilight zone, above all my fears and just below my utmost knowledge.
The Lord has been gracious and taken away the homelessness since this weekend. WE are in a nice apartment and in the thawing process. Love, Holly
“For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matt:24:7-8
Shirley, I know all of are are saddened by this tragedy that hit Haiti!
I pray that GOD will show HIMSELF mighty in this situation!!!
Haiti is such a “dark” nation with all the witchcraft, voodoo, etc. Many have prayed for the “light” to come to this region. Let’s pray that GOD will reverse the curse that is on this area— as the people see that the false gods don’t have true compassion for them.
JESUS is the “answer” for Haiti!!!
Love, Linda
Thank’s Linda. God is gracious and has been speaking to me concerning the outcome of Haiti’s future and the blessing of restoration that will be released upon the nations and individual that come to the aid of Haiti. Here is the link if you can with stand the commercials, lol. This is hot off the press:
