WHERE WORDS LEAVE OFF
There are two times when words are worthless. A time of deep deep sorrow, and a time of deep deep intimacy. It's a time where touch replaces words. Only those who have experienced it can comprehend it. Words do nothing and are cheap at best, when human emotional pain reaches its highest level, a level which no human wants to experience. It only happens at the sudden death of a certain relative, mate or friend. However deep the pain, for the kingdom person it only lasts for a short time. Because they recognize that physical death is a must in order to enter a place where I "wipe away all tears from your eyes; and there is no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:4 (KJV)
At this transition point even though death has lost it's "sting, and the
grave, it's victory [56] because the sting of death is sin; and the strength of
sin is the law." 1 Corinthians 15:55-56 (KJV) and I broke it's power over you on
the cross, there is still a separating pain. At this dreaded moment only the
physical touch of another human being is needed and wanted. There is a
communication through touch, that no words can ever express. The touch that
simply says, you are not alone, I am here to suffer with you. This is the pain I
was experiencing when I said, "to Peter, What! Are you so utterly unable to stay
awake and keep watch with Me for one hour?" Matthew 26:40 (AMP) This was the
time of the greatest pain I ever suffered and ever will suffer. It was greater
pain than any human will ever suffer, the momentary separation and rejection
from My Father that I experienced for you.
But now let's talk about the other time where all words fail. This is a time where you and I reach the highest point of intimacy. A point where only those who have been baptized by My Holy Spirit will understand. This is where I walk into your physical presence with My spiritual presence, best describe as My manifest presence. It's where My spirit body hugs and holds your spirit, while it's still imprisoned in your flesh and blood body. These are intimate times when you, the creature, feel what it's like to "be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God. [22] At this point you know, that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together waiting for the time this will be permanent." Romans 8:21-22 (KJV) No words please, no noise, no talking, just electrifying silence where My spirit and your spirit squeeze and hold each other in a tight embrace, filling your spirit with the love of My Father.
Rarely does this intimacy happen with the corporate body because (a) the
leader has no clue what I want to do, so he feels he must fill the air with
noise of some type. Sing, dance, do something, we just cannot have a dead mike.
This is the cardinal rule of the theater. Silence is painful and embarrassing to
him because it's more about him than you and Me. Or (b) there are too few
present that know Me intimately, so the spiritual silence needed for this level
of intimacy, is never reached. Whispering, texting, getting up to go to the
bathroom, singing, moving around, anything that takes the focus from Me to
others, prevents the corporate body from reaching this level of intimacy. It's
never on My part, it's always the human factor.
This is the moment when your soul, "waits only upon Me and silently submits exclusively to Me; when you recognize that all your hope and expectations are from Me. [6] That I alone am your Rock and your Salvation; At this moment you understand that I am your only defense and fortress, and I alone can keep you from being moved." Psalm 62:5-6 (AMP) I am describing the kingdom idea of your prayer closet, and a level of intimacy that I want you to experience each morning, before leaving your home. If you can reach a time each day, where words leave off and My presence is so fully recognized that all you do is let Me embrace you, your whole day will be alive with kingdom power!

1 Corinthians 12
The Use of Spiritual Gifts
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. 2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. 6 There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
12 For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. 19 If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now there are many members, but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 23 and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, 24 whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, 25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. 29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? 30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? 31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts.
Another most excellent message-- Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am an intercessor and it does bother me that churches are no longer houses of prayer -- or even have prayer meeting where waiting upon the Lord is given it's proper time and place of intimcy.
I have also recently lost a dearly loved brother to cancer and was amazed at the new thinking of -- get over it and get on with it --
no time give for grief, sorrow, sharing memories, meditations, etc. just back to business as usual.
