God's Word Psalms 23:1 A psalm by David. The LORD is my shepherd. I am never in need. Psa 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside peaceful waters. Psa 23:3 He renews my soul. He guides me along the paths of righteousness for the sake of his name. Psa 23:4 Even though I walk through the dark valley of death, because you are with me, I fear no harm. Your rod and your staff give me courage. Psa 23:5 You prepare a banquet for me while my enemies watch. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. Psa 23:6 Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life, and I will remain in the LORD'S house for days without end. Most of us are familiar with this portion of scripture. It is used in movies when someone is in trouble in a war zone and the like. If only we could take this Word and live in the reality of it! One part that stands out to me right now is: My Cup Runs Over!!!!!!!
That is messy! We want the cup just full enough to not make a mess...but when God comes it gets messy!
Things are going to get messy! Things are going to get out of control....not out of sound doctrine, but what it that really? I mean have you ever had a belief that you had to change in order to move with God? I don't mean that there is not sound doctrine...of course there is. Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived sinless, became our sin, was buried, raised to life again. His Blood has the power to cleanse our sins and heal our diseases. He was fully God and fully man. But, I can't say that I have every bit of God all worked out! He is so much more than I can perceive and I know there are hidden mysteries that will be revealed that will revolutionize what "I always believed"! I want to see the real God of the heavens and the earth! The real God of the Bible....the One who REALLY put a cloud by day and a fire by night over His people. I want the God that upsets the status quo that does what cannot be explained, neither can it be attained by human logistics!
What is going to happen as we begin to be translated and transported? I want to fall so much in love with Jesus that I don't just believe all things are possible, but I live there! I want to learn the fear of God to the point that I lose all relationship with the fear of man!
I want to have cloven tongues of fire on my head, fire burning in my belly, fire in my hands, and fire in my eyes! Oh to be consumed by the consuming fire! I want to live in the place where demons cry out when I show up....because of Christ in me the hope of glory! I want people to be healed simply because they got too close to the glory of God surrounding my person.
I know that we are in the time of increased angelic activity. We will have to learn how to interact. If we try to worship they will say to us....don't do that, we are your servants...worship God. The church has learned how to live without any angelic visitation for the most part, now we will have to learn something new. We may have read about it, but now we will have to learn it as a reality.
There will be persecution but we won't mind we will be too inebriated on the New New Wine! Song of Solomon 2:4 "He brought me to the banqueting house,(house of wine) and his banner over me is love." I want to live in His House of Wine! I want to be so saturated in His love that it does not matter how people analyze what is happening to me. It will make me contagious with the Spirit of the Living God!
There will always be the fake....but it is not my concern. I want the TRUE! I want to be like Enoch who walked with God and WAS NOT for GOD TOOK HIM! WOW!
I want to be like the woman with the alabaster box who poured out on him in extravagance until they said, "this is a waste!" But she didn't even notice! She was just wowed by His feet! It was worth it!
I want to be like Mary who heard impossible things from an angel's lips, and said BEHOLD YOUR HANDMAIDEN! BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD! This is the land of risk! Not many walk in this realm, but I believe it is available for us all. We have to be willing to be misunderstood and shunned, and at the same time embraced by others who hunger for Him in such ways.
I for one want Him. I desire to know Him. To taste and see just how good He really is. Let us open up our hearts and our eyes to behold what we have never seen before! Let's receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him! My spirit is longing to know this God of the Bible. I don't want to simply know about Him, but to experience Him in all the ways He wants to reveal Himself. The earth will never be the same as we open up to Him.
