Anatomy Of A Spiritual Union Pt. 1: The Beginning
Preface
In Christian circles, there is very little written about Spiritual Unions. Even if you can find it, usually it is not made plain what it is or how it happened. Therefore, many who experience Divine Mates don’t really know how to fit what God is doing into their Christian walk.
What we are attempting to do, here at Tabernacles Central, is document real spiritual connections, without filtering the experience. We want to make it available raw and uncensored so you can have an example of how our Lord works in such unions.
To that end, we are sharing how God worked in such a union in this series. To those who have not experienced this level of Divine Love through another human being, what we say may be challenging. However, to those who are being drawn this way, these perspectives will be a revelation.
Sincerely,
Michael
About The Beginning…
Once upon a time…
*This story begins with Emma, a 14-year-old girl, and her experience of a friend, a companion, a future lover who came to her regularly in visions or dreams – yet for her it was real, a supernatural meeting that was beyond imagination. She had clearly seen his face and knew his name, for they knew each other, even from their first supernatural visit. Their closeness, their conversations, and their clear spiritual connection brought peace and joy and a sense of rightness to them both. Until that tragic day when someone – something – took him away from her, holding her back and keeping her from chasing him – that day the supernatural visitations stopped begins our story.
Where is he going?! Why are you taking him away from me?!
My heart sank – no, started to die – as I saw them carry him away over the hill to – where? He disappeared from view until he vanished from my sight.
Wrong! This was so wrong on so many levels! He is mine; he IS me!.. and he belongs with me, I know this in my soul! That’s why he is always near, always within an arm’s reach. We both feel complete when physically close, in the same room, in the same conversation, touching each other, or close enough to touch when the need comes over us, as it frequently does.
A timeless union
This feeling of a timeless union is our oneness. It is our eternity. The profound feeling we have is as if God has connected our souls… .When? Long ago. . .and for eternity. Timeless, ageless, eternal is our bond. Our Creator assigned us as two parts, made into one person by His love. I live in him and he lives in me, and we are one in everything. Sharing every thought, every desire, every plan, and dream…No, it was one thought, one desire, one plan, and one dream. Everything is right with us as we are close. No barriers, nothing hidden, and nothing to divide. YHWH designed us for this, for this is oneness and wholeness and that is who we are. Rightness from the beginning of time and lived in right now; assigned to each other as part of God’s grand design.
But now…, who was this ripping us apart? A terrible ripping, a tearing of our very spirits and souls that feels so wrong and so destructive, maiming our souls and spirits. How could we even attempt to be separated? This was so wrong! It was a kind of spiritual and emotional death. I knew deep in my spirit this was not what God intended, nor what He desired, totally misaligned with what He wrote about us from the foundation of this world.
The temporary triumph of evil
I heard demons screaming with delight – celebrating a victory for the darkness! They drove the Divine Pair, chosen by God to walk in His Oneness, apart! Not only that, that same demonic strength threatened to hover over us for the rest of our earthly lives, preventing our reunion; that is, unless God had His way. . .
Dear Connections,
One aspect of spiritual connections and particularly of Divine Mates, is that they are eternal. That is, there are reflections of our relationships in the New Heavens and New Earth where, oddly enough, everything has always been, is, and will be. This is why, when you meet a spiritual connection of, if you are very fortunate, a Divine Mate, there is this overpowering sense of having known them forever.
Many have this feeling that there is something or someone missing in their lives. For some it is a subtle uneasiness, for others it is a deep realization that there is a missing part of them they need to find.
In the testimony above, of a spiritual union, our heroine feels her companion in the spirit during her formative years. While many would call this an imaginary friend, what is really happening is she is connecting with her Divine Mate independent of space and time. It is only when “real life” starts to take hold, that she loses that connection and descends into confusion and loss.
Many men and women, who seek fulfillment for a Divine Mate, look for love in all the wrong places. It is a tactic that the Devil uses to keep them from their one true love by messing them up in many bad relationships. Often, by the time they find the one God has ordained for them, they are full of scars and still bleeding from the torment fallen Lucifer put them through.
Divine Mates is what many would call epic love stories. It is what Romeo and Juliet portrays. Power, Divine Love, which is thwarted by people who don’t have God’s, nor the lovers interests in mind.
For those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb, they will identify with this type of longing to be connected to someone who truly loves you.
Sincerely,
Michael
Love your insight about the eternality of spiritual connections. . .
We are spiritual beings, first and foremost. Spirits who inhabit bodies. And our natural home is in heavenly places (Philippians 3:20). I think the more we connect with God through Christ and the more we allow ourselves to be led by His Spirit, the more our spirits become sensitive to “heavenly places.” This is what enables us to sense, among other things, those God has connected us to – connections borne of His Spirit, beyond space and time.
God loves us passionately, and passionately desires that we experience that love and receive it from Him and from those He puts in our daily lives. Sometimes, even in a fallen world, we do. But what an amazing gift He gives us in spiritual connections – those our spirits recognize beyond space and time. God supernaturally blesses us with someone(s) through whom He can express His passionate love for us – someone to love us through. And the truth is, in His sovereignty, He has already assigned these connections before we were born.
It is He who enables our spirits to supernaturally recognize them – and living lives being led by His Spirit leads us to those people and enables us to connect with them – on whatever level He chooses – in order to accomplish His purposes and let us give and receive His unconditional love. These connections most often manifest on the spiritual level first, because they are written by God for us as spiritual beings and are beyond space and time.
What an amazing gift!!
Thanks for sharing! Big hugs and lots of love.. .
Tell you I have read both parts of this and wow did it strike a cord with me! Such spiritual connections are for true something which is formed outside of time and space as all things spiritual are. As such you are always going to have this inner sense of its always been, seems like known you forever, familiarity etc…because in essence you have. I just finished reading CL reply here and then went to look on our fb page to find someone reacted to a previous blog i posted in there a week ago today. I actually think it’s a really good reply to not only this blog but also your subsequent comments! So will copy into here the post.
Only in an atmosphere of complete acceptance, where we know we will be loved even if we bear our shattered souls, do we relax. There must be profound trust present in order to be ourselves. We know, often from very painful experiences, that earthly love can fail us, so we are hesitant to truly open our hearts to anyone.
This is why God’s love, flowing through another is so powerful. Here is someone we can see, hear, smell, taste and touch, manifesting the love of God in their flesh towards us. A spiritual connection, filled with the Spirit, is literally our own personal Jesus.
For many, having direct access to God through another human being is precisely what they need. Our wounds, from a lifetime of experience, often run deep. Many have done things or things have been done to them that make us feel unworthy of love.
However, in the presence of God manifest in another’s flesh, we sense total acceptance. Knowing they look at us, seeing only beauty and worth, we instinctively open up. Feeling God’s love, we dare to let go of our fig leaves one by one. Each time we do, to our amazement, we find only love and acceptance.
Likewise, the person whom God flows through, feels the love of God too. It is impossible to see their spiritual connection as anything but loveable. The patience and compassion of God floods your heart, therefore caring for another is effortless. We see our love as someone who is valuable and all that matters to us is that they be cherished and comforted. We become unconditional love.
Sometimes people need to be held by God and simply cry, letting out years of emotional pain and suffering. Others need to talk about the deep things that scare them in an atmosphere of complete security. Others must be told how worthwhile they are by someone they absolutely trust. In essence, they need their own personal Jesus with them in a tangible form, over time, to restore all the years that the devil has stolen.
