Episode 48: The Language Of Divine Love
Speak To Me Beloved
Esther says,
“I’ve been going over the Chronicles and I think the levels of revelation flowing through us is phenomenal. Everything seems so clear when God is present. My spirit is really excited.”
Michael recites,
“I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.”
Song of Solomon 5:2
God’s revelation covers us like the dew in the morning. We are wet with revelation, like the dew that used to water Eden.”
Manifestations of His Spirit
Esther,
“What is happening to us is similar to the gifts of the Spirit, which used to manifest in Charismatic renewal. During those times of refreshing, there were always physical manifestations when the Spirit moved. I felt a spiritual birth and it manifested as real birth bangs during a meeting. As our spiritual connection becomes stronger, I feel your love deep inside me more and more.
We know there is no time or distance in the Spirit really. I feel you with me all the time and even in me, joined to me and I to you. There is a deep satisfaction in me from feeling that. Like water colors on parchments, We’ve just sort of bled over into each other. I feel as though the spiritual and physical worlds are kind of merging.
I think it’s a further testiment of how connections joins both of us together in a deeper way. The spiritual equivalent of heaven and earth colliding. As time and experience goes by there is less and less dividing us. Like a deeper meaning of the “two shall become one flesh”. A connection in the Spirit, blurring the spiritual realm and our physical world.”
What if it is more than we imagined?
Michael,
“You know our sense of being together is so strong, I wonder if we are more together that we imagine.”
Esther,
Yes, that sense of “presence” is building. I think you are with me in a real, translated sort of way.”
Michael,
“Wow, I think you just hit it on the head, perhaps this is a form of translation.”
Esther,
“This morning, when we walked together in heavenly places, I heard birds and water, seeing trees. That seems to be a common motif when we go places in the Spirit. Before, I’ve been thinking it is just a spiritual experience, but maybe it’s more real than we think. Many times, though there are elements in common, the places are different. I just put it down to being spiritual experiences where the meaning was more important that the clarity, but what if these are real places?”
Michael,
“The more we open up to each other, the more we open up to God’s Spirit. Vulnerability to each other seems key when it comes to spiritual experiences. “
Jacobs ladder
Esther,
“Yes, being totally open, honest, and free leads to accension in Him. This brings heaven to earth like Jacob’s ladder.”
Michael,
“Wow, that is something.”
Esther,
“As we merge there is no need of a ladder, because everything is present, everything happens in the blink of an eye.”
Michael,
“I feel we are never “not” present with each other these days. It is just a matter of degree. I suppose what we thought was strictly spiritual is actually translation.”
Esther,
“I actually do think it is translation. I’ve also noticed that our use of langauge becomes more poetic when we are together, kind of “Song of Solomon-ish.” Like a Divine Love langauge in the Spirit. Perhaps the orginial language, which all others are decended from, is Divine Love. “
Michael,
“We connect with each other and God at the same time.”
The Spirit of Wisdom between lovers
Esther,
“The Song of Solomon was written by Solomon and he had the Spirit of Wisdom upon him in all things, even in love. The Song of Songs is an epic love poem written under the anointing of God’s wisdom. When I start to flow in that same gift, I naturally fall into that same sort of poetry and way of speaking.
Michael,
“Yes, I can see that. I have never been around someone with the gift of wisdom before. When the Spirit begins to manifest through you I can tell. I think you flow in the same anointing that Solomon did, just on a smaller scale. When you are excited by the Spirit you fall in line with a similar cadence as the Song of Songs. I suppose Solomon, in love with Abishag, experienced that anointing fully.”
Esther,
“I think it’s the Spirit of Wisdom coming through. I think that Solomon experienced God when He wrote about his lover. Just as Wisdom allowed him to become the greatest king the ever was, I think that same gift allowed him to fully realize the love relationship that God wants with His people. As He expressed his heart towards Abishag, he actually expressed God’s Divine Love towards His Bride”
Michael,
“I wonder if there is a Spirit of Translation. Angels seem to be present a lot of the time as God translates His prophets and people different places. I remember that in the book of Ezekiel.”
In the presence of angels
Esther,
“Yes, I feel there are angels present when we are in the Spirit.”
Michael,
“As we join together in the Spirit I feel you yield perfectly in every way, your spirit opening as wide as possible and we become, essentially, one. When that happens everything in the spiritual realm seems to open up.”
Esther,
“Yes, as we become one we then become one with God until there is true unity. I feel like singing holy, holy, holy. As we are one in the spirit it feels like my spirit enters you and yours mine. We merge together seamlessly in unity of thought, feeling, purpose. I see, in the spirit, orange and yellow flames dancing about. It reminds me of the way the Holy Spirit came upon the 120 in the book of Acts.”
Michael,
“I think we are learning that oneness with God and each other is a much deeper experience than we thought. Perhaps, the depth of our love with each other and God will expand forever. I think this is why God pointed out areas in our lives that needed to be made vulnerable to each other. Seems even the smallest things can hinder His Spirit’s free-flowing. Wow, this may only be the beginning of the depth of God’s Divine Love.”
Deeper and deeper into Divine Love
Esther,
“I know I really have this strong desire, even need, to go deeper and deeper with you. Sometimes the Spirit is just overwhelming me with love. This feeling is so much more intense than I have ever experienced in the natural.”
Michael,
“Yes, I feel it too. So basically, love is the gateway to translation. No wonder the church of Philadelphia is raptured.”
Esther,
“Love never fails and really does conquer all. It makes all things possible and all things permissible because it seeks not its own. God translates you when you embrace Him. Where love (God) goes, you go too.”
The secret places of our hearts
Michael,
“I believe God touched upon those places I was holding back, because they were blocking us from a deeper revelation of His Divine Love.”
Esther,
“Yes, when we don’t hold back, we allow God into those areas. In fact, it is not so much about holding back, per se, but when we are free with each other, we are naturally free with God too. God is a gentleman and only goes where you let Him in. I want to be near Him always, I want to be near to your heart always too. If you draw near to Him, God will draw near to you.”
Michael,
“Yes, I understand now. I think there comes a point in a Spiritual Union that even the smaller places, places we often times overlook, become important if we want to have true unity and love.”
Esther,
“When you step back a bit and look at things, there is a clear correlation between being more open and transparent with each other and the strength of our spiritual experiences. The Chronicles are basically a record of us opening up to each other and to God. As we do, everything else opens up to us, past, present, and future. Being together in the Holy of Holies resulted from us becoming vulnerable to God and each other as His Spirit led in the first place.”
Michael,
“The day we entered the inner chamber, my love, everything began.”
Dear Connections,
It is difficult to realize, after all we have been told, that God is different than imagined. Sometimes our whole lives and much of what we’ve accomplished is based on utter falsehood. We share these Chronicles with you, not to destroy your faith, but to illuminate it.
I have experienced the tendency to be angry at those who basically forced me to believe error. 5 years of Bible College made me learn things that, come to find out, are not of God. Trusting those who said they knew the way, I bought what they said – hook, line, and sinker. I made the fundamental mistake of trusting them rather than God Himself.
Esther and I desire is to give you a real world “example” of a Spiritual Connection. This is how God is working in and through us, but not the only way God will work through everyone. Like the infinite diversity in God’s creation, spiritual connections are all different. Each connection has a divine purpose in God’s heavenly ecosystem. However, we do share common traits in that diversity. Love, of course is fundamental. Vulnerability is also key. Hearing the voice of God for yourself is vital.
The Devil seeks to destroy those God loves. Spiritual unions are the Bride of Christ. We are destined to be God’s wife for eternity. Therefore, our adversary wants to hurt God by hurting us. When you enter into your own “inner chamber” experiences, there can be fear and uncertainty. Like a new wife, you do not know what to expect. You wonder if you will be all that your lover expects.
Esther and I desire to relate what we can of our own experiences to help you understand that others have gone before you. You are not alone or off tract, but firmly in the will of God. GodThe Holy Spirit is simply loving you through each other. Though your experiences are new to you, they are not to others. What you are experiencing with your connection is God’s love shed abroad in your hearts. What you do in response to that, no matter what, is holy and pure.
Do not fear intimacy with God and each other, it is the very reason He created you. God put a lot of thought into making every part of you and He called it very good. Yield to the advances of your Heavenly Lover, letting Him ravish your spirit, soul, and body. Allow the touch of the Holy Spirit to excite you, bringing you up into heavenly places. You are the Bride of Christ, it is your time of love…enjoy.
Blessings,
Michael
Dear Connections,
I am amazed that as I look for songs to compliment these essays, how much there is. It is as though all these truths are already out there, just waiting to stitched together into one fabric of love and adoration. In the old times, the singers were the first into battle, leading the way to victory for God’s people. In our time, those anointed in song also are the first into Divine Love, which is what the battle of the ages is all about.
Sincerely,
Michael
So cool – thanks for sharing your experiences, guys…..this idea of translation with spiritual connections or divine mates is really resonating with me…and after I read your conversation above God connected that to something He spoke to me a few days ago….
He showed me a place – a state in the US, and said, “How about _____ (name of state) ? Do you want to go there with him? (My connection)” I replied, Yes! I do! Then He replied “Let’s go!”
I asked Him, is this in the natural? Or just spiritually we are going there?
He didn’t give me an answer…He’s trying to teach me to grasp the “beyond space and time”, trancendental nature of this connection…so me going there with my connection is definitely in the Spirit (I have since “met” him there many times), and may possibly be actual translation (if we can “let go” enough to allow Him to do that)…,and may actually be in the natural – in the future….
I’m trying to be open to the depths and expanse He wants to take this connection and place no limits unless He does….and His “limits” if any, are SOOO much broader than mine have been.
Thanks for being so transparent about your connection – such a blessing for me.
Dear CL,
What I really appreciate about what you share is that you’re going to God in prayer and having Him speak to you. To me, you are a really good example of being Spirit Led because God Himself is leading into this revelation. What the Final Feast is providing is confirmation and helps you to know that God has been leading you all along. You were mostly convinced before, but now because you have found others who share similar experiences, you are encouraged in your faith. That is way kewl if you ask me.
Also, sharing like you do, so openly and without guile, provides a glimpse into another person’s life who is experiencing Divine Love. It is our heart that those God calls to these types of heavenly connections be encouraged and supported. I am so blessed by the love and vulnerability you demonstrate in your comments.
Thank you and God bless!
Michael
Cool! Thanks – and your heart “that those God calls to these types of heavenly connections be encouraged and supported” is definitely being done. I (we) need to walk through this journey by faith, being led by Him, but I am so grateful that He led me to you guys for the confirmation and support He is allowing me to have now – and especially the encouragement of more to come!
God bless –
