Father God is making Himself known to us in new dimensions. God is covering us with His glory mantles. We were created to live and dwell in the glory. We cannot successfully act or live independent of our Creator. We get sick, weak and die when we disconnect from God's glorious presence. When the glory departs we enter into survival mode to maintain our struggling existence. Adam walked with God covered by the Holy Spirit in the Garden of Eden. Adam communicated with God in the realms of continuous glory (Eden means gateway or portal). God's Spirit intermingled with Adam's spirit as God and man communicated Spirit to spirit without words.
Like many of you, I have received attacks on my body at different times, and there have been some serious issues. But through prayer and faith, and practical helps, a lot has been overcome. There are appointed times for us, but while we are alive, we do want to give it our best! It's so good to pray the Scriptures and believe in the atoning grace of Jesus through His work on the Cross. He paid the price for us!
The Lord gave me this vision as I was waiting on Him during the night season. As it gradually unfolded in front of me, I clearly saw the following events take place. I sleep, but my heart is awake; it is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, "Open for me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is covered with dew, my locks with the drops of the night" (Song of Solomon 5:2, NKJV). "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" (Rev. 3:20, NKJV).
There is something in all of us that's raw, painful, complicated, growing, beautiful and we rarely show it. It would be embarrassing, it could hurt our reputation, it might be too heart-on-the-sleeve, or "too much information." Vulnerability is a buzzword many talk about. We can all dip our toe in the shallow end, but how about the deep end? No way, I'll stick with the subtle references to "hard times" and "difficult situations." I'll talk about my impatience and neat-freak tendencies but not the real ugly parts.
I awoke this morning with the verse from Habakkuk 2:14 flowing through my mind and spirit. "For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the LORD." I heard in my spirit all of the noise coming from news reports and social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, and the rest. I heard the noise of divisions, anger, hate, and rage, all resonating like "resounding gongs and clanging cymbals". It was deafening. Then suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
The past week the Lord has been pressing on me a simple but profound image. It being fall with harvest themes all around, He showed me a farmer who, instead of planting and watering seeds, was watering his picked baskets of fruit. It seemed silly until He told me, "Don't keep watering past harvests." We are always somewhere in this growth cycle, and we can tell by our lives. Are we seeing lots of fruit or progress? It's harvest time! Are we sowing a lot of ourselves into callings? It's planting time! Are we pressing through the waiting season? That's growing time! Sometimes these seasons even overlap.
Recently, it became clear the Lord was revealing that anxiety (the spirit of the age) wants to subvert your constant, current connection with God's peace & progress in the Spirit. God wants you free & Jesus fully paid for you to live in liberty. Anxiety is dangerous; we know that it's detrimental to life in every way. That said: we tend to look at everything about just how it impacts us personally, but there is a greater issue at stake. Anxiety causes you to dishonor God, because it "exalts itself against" what the Lord says, wants, is doing & has prepared for us to receive, believe & see established. And it has various manifestations.
In the past month before the Jewish new year up to Yom Kippur there were some intense battles going on in the spirit realm. Many felt personal turmoil, then just a general spiritual resistance to their lives. Since then there has been a crossing over into a new place of blessing, rest and peace. There was a definite bending of the bow and release of God's arrow that had taken out much resistance. Many felt like they were the bow being bent! God shot His arrow through them. The week after Yom Kippur I heard the Lord say that "We've passed through the fire and have come out pure as gold."
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord will answer them; I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive.
The Lord identified eleven, ancient apostolic scribal functions to me through a dream several weeks ago that are still thriving in the earth today. These functions have been with us since before the first government of the congregation was established in Numbers 11. We can see them clearly as we study certain scribal patterns throughout the Bible and bring them into a modern day focus. In sharing these, I pray that you are empowered in comprehending the depth of the Office of the Scribe in the earth, and perhaps your role in it.
