Almost always, there is an intervening period during which the LORD clears away, so called, skeletons of the past. Actually, it may be more appropriate to speak of it as being, a time for uncovering skeletons. These may be as easily remedied as this: the “toilet seat up, or down” issue. It may be as complex as: that, there is already a child (or more) on one side of the relationship. Please think of this word, child, in its broadest sense. For instance; a man who just must wash and wax the car by hand, has a “child”.
Generally, the thing that must be reconciled is of a sort that, it occupies the highest level of influence over your life. Of course, this is exclusive of the LORD God, and excludes Him from ever being displaced from the Penthouse Level of your existence. Let us explore that, for a moment.
The Penthouse Level of your existence is the place which is totally under the control of the LORD God. In history, there has only been one time when the LORD authorized anything else to enter this area; and, it is this one . . .
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
(Revelation 3:19-21)
Other than allowing the Son of God into the highest area, we must exclude everything else from entering that space. Moreover, even the Son is subject to the entry rules that are applied on us, by the LORD God, the Father. In a portion of the writing of the apostle Paul, he describes this interaction between the Father God and the Son God.
