I am writting this blog to tell all who will hear that there is a new revelation of His (Gods) love closing in on us in a powerful way. I have been praying for a greater revelation of His love for several months. And I know that He is answering it not only in me but in the Church as a whole.
We (the Church) have just ended a season of tasting. And now The LORD is teaching us how to cook.
This last season was filled with signs wonders and miracles of all types and they did not hinge on our ability to make them hapen nor will they however what is coming is based on our understanding of His love.
Through this tasting we have been able to see prayers imediately answered and some over time, and yet still others seemingly unanswered. He was leading us through and we just go to see some of this on the way to the kitchen. A cooks tour of the area if you will to know what is out there and what is not that will make the biggest impact. Almost a buffet to allow us each to understand where and how we fit into the body the best. Long ago several years, we watched as The LORD began raising people up to fill their place of ministry and calling those out into the hallway to await their assignment and to this point they have been wondering. Now they are being called to their stations to prepare a meal for the King based on what we have learned in the process.
I pray that this is making sense to you!
All that has been done to this point has been to show us this deeper more life altering view of His Love. I can describe it best like this. When I was a kid my mother used to tell me a hundred times in 15 seconds that she loved me and to be good and to be careful and then again that she loved me. And to this day she still does and I better understand as a parent why she has done what she has done. I have caught on to this and have had to stop my self from annoying my wife who has a different understaning at this point than I have had. No longer are we calling to Jesus and praying prayers out of fear but now is the time when the revelation of Love hits so strongly that all we need now is to whisper "I love you" and all of heaven stands at attention as the kaboud decends like thunder over the one making the declaration. And it is from here that we hear the beating of His heart so closly that we can actually feel where each beat of His heart transports the blood that is pumped with each beat, we feel each pounding beat racing turn through His veins and arteries until it reaches the point of use, and there we feel the thunder clap as it has fulfilled its purpose, all while holding onto the chest of our beloved.
This revelation has been packaged up and is awaiting its delivery all over the world right this very minute.
Hang on!!! When this hits you, will physically feel it if it hasnt hit you already.
May The LORD use this word to affirm what your spirit already knows.

The dance of a child
This last Friday night I was honored to be with my wife and several hundred others who call themselves followers of Jesus. We spent the evening in various forms of worship directed at The LORD. From 7pm to nearly 1am I was blessed to be at a place filled with the tangible presence of God due to the praises of His people. As the evening began I was standing up and singing along to some of the songs. Shortly into the evening I found myself sitting with my face in my hands. I began to ask The LORD how I was to approach Him this particular evening. I was directed by The LORD to open my eyes and see. As I did so, I could hear the sounds of strings and voices that echoed what I believe to be one of the atmosphers that we will experience in heaven, and through the legs and hands of men and women standing I could see dozens of children running around laughing and carrying on with life as only a child can do in a room like that. There was not a single one crying or moaning about what they did or did not have, they were all having the time of their life. There was one little girl that stood out in the crowd, and no I'm not going to brag about Abigail here, although it would be a great place to do so (she is awesome). This little girl was wearing a red dress, I watched as she twirled around in circles with purpose. She wasn't just spinning uncontrollably she was twirling as though she was dancing with a partner. She had her eyes closed and then opened and then closed again as she moved closer to the platform where there were others dancing around. And as I watched The LORD answered my question with "Just like that." Being the intellectual that I am (sometimes) I asked Him how to do even that. For moments on end it seemed as though there was no audible answer but a series of events and thoughts that were placed in my heart by Him that lead me into understanding more realistically His love.
I don't want to get all clicheish on you and say that God is love even though He is, but this time I was being transformed by this love in a way that I have never been to this point. I was feeling the momentum in my spirit as though I had just taken a really deep breath and then let it out and that letting out feeling was staying around, it was the deepest peace I had felt for a long time.
Several hours into the evening I found myself once again in dialogue with The LORD. This time when I opened my eyes there were no children many had left yet the music went on, and The LORD brought the lesson of the evening for me back around full circle and there holding a flag in her hands as she pranced around the sanctuary was a lady 40 years older than me dancing and twirling as though she was dancing with a partner smiling from ear to ear. All night long she never stopped, from beginning to end she was there walking dancing and all the time waving her flag before The LORD.
So what all does this mean for me now? Soon I will share about the River of God, but for now the deep life altering time that we need with God can be found in the innocent yet fully aware mind of a child. Unhindered by limitations doubts and fears and fully aware of the possibilities that await them as they dream with God about all that could be and live in all that is.
In my mind I replay those moments with my own self as a child dancing hand in hand with my LORD. And I think about all that happens from that place. From here I can hear the heart beat of my Daddy King, and feel where each beat takes the blood of King Jesus into the body that moves and when He moves He moves me. This is a place not for those who like control or manipulation of circumstances or even to work according to their own goals dreams and visions but for those who want to get lost in Him and chase Him through the forest of divine imagination and watch as everything comes to life.
I want to live from that place. I know that from there I cant say a word that is off or unclear, I cant raise my children wrong, I cant misscommunicate here and there is always room for the unexpected and it is blessed to be their. Where I simply rest knowing that I am with my I am.
