COME SEE MY MANSION

by Joyful Star

My mansion sits  on at least 20 acres bordered by soft high bushes, all shades of green.  All around the inside of the trees is a shiny yellow fence with gold trim and a fancy latticework gate of gold that leads into the flower gardens in the front yard.  From the gate the golden walkway with inlaid gems goes left and right making a circle that meets back at the path to the mansion stairway.  Inside this circle pathway are two beautiful water fountains.  So come on in, enjoy the lovely sparkling water, and drink some if you like. (Rev 21:6) You may also pick as many flowers as you like because more will appear in their place.  (Mat 14:17-21)  Also in between the two fountains are beautiful flowers of all colors, planted in the shape of a cross.

If you're done tasting water and picking flowers, take a moment, before we get close to the mansion to look at the whole front side.  (John 14:2- 3) The walls are made of a shiny bluish purple substance, possibly amethyst or sapphire, and there is a round tower on both corners with a dome top. (Isa 54:11-12) Now let's walk around to the mansion stairways. 

One stairway goes to the right and one goes to the left.  The steps and banisters are made of light gray marble.  Just before we ascend the steps we see a pearl-like doorway right in front of us. (Rev 21:21) This leads into a very large banquet hall.  OK we are ready now to ascend the steps.  Each stairway has a landing and the next steps lead to the porch in front of the mansion.  From here we see the large doorway that looks like stained glass.

We would now like to welcome you into our mansion.  Coming thru the vestibule,  we find ourselves on the top landing that is on three sides.  There are 3 steps that go down to another landing, that is just a wide open space in the center.  There is a short pedestal in each of the four corners, with golden flower bowls that today are holding purple flowers.  Straight across from the vestibule is the stairway to the next floor.  To our right is the tower where we find our library.  You will 'see' that each of the rooms are very large.  This library holds several comfortable chairs and couches, two desks, and of course many books!!  (Mal 3:16)

The tower to the left is our music room, large enough to accommodate a complete orchestra.  The biggest thing in here is a white marble grand piano, for me to play.  There are some harps and several other instruments, including a guitar for when my Dad comes to visit!  There is a large archway that opens from the music room into the large room on the left side, so that people can enjoy the music and see the musicians.  This large room would be what on earth you would call a living room.  The room across the wide open space is like a multipurpose room.

On each of the other corners at the back there is also a tower with a dome top.  In the left tower are my bins of jewels. (see "Inside the Gates Of Heaven" page 34) I use them to fashion gifts for my friends.  The 'kitchen' is also in that part of the mansion.  Out back are gardens with nuts, fruit, spices, and more flowers.   (Song of Sol 6:11 & 7:13)  So thank you for coming to visit us.  And sometime we will have you to a banquet.

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.  And I will make they windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.   (Isa 54:11-12)

Giving thanks to the Father, who made us worthy to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light:  And having delivered us from the power of darkness, has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son:  in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins."  (Col 1:11-14)
