Do You Know How To Love God?
So many of us have a true passion to love God. We read God’s word and desire to be with Him where He is. Yet, so much of the time our Jesus seems distant from us even when the scriptures say differently. We pray and ask God to touch us because we desperately want to feel God. It is a desire, a hunger, a cry from deep within our souls.
We go to extremes to do this too. Some even dedicate their entire lives to God’s service in remote places or join holy orders. Desperate to love God, we search endlessly among the churches of this world, hoping to find Him in His house.
Jesus says,
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
Luke 17:20,21
So, if you want to find our King, it is obvious He will be in His kingdom. If His kingdom is within us, it makes perfect sense that we should look for God in each other.
He shall be in you
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
John 14:16-18
Christ in us is our hope of Glory. YHWH indwells us by the infilling of the Holy Spirit. We are God manifest in the flesh and as such, it is proper to receive Him through each other.
The church has been set up by the Devil to prevent the very thing that God wants most from His people: Holy Intimacy. Recognizing this, we must reverse course and allow God to lead and guide us into all love.
Stop looking at the rafters
I want to put a big banner on the ceiling of every church that reads “Stop looking at the rafters”. Instead, touch each other and look into each other’s eyes as His Spirit leads. Connect with God through one another and stop fearing the intimacy that God so passionately longs for.
If you are the Body of Christ, isn’t it proper for Jesus to use His own body to love you? Do not fear being the very thing YHWH made you to be. Touch His body; kiss, caress, hold and dance with Him through each other. Be familiar with your spiritual connection as the Holy Spirit loves them through you. God is with you and in you, therefore allow Him to love through you. Amen.
Dear Connections,
The Tabernacle Blessing is good for what ails you. Some have really intractable issues, physical, mental, or emotional, that they just don’t seem to be able to overcome. From the standpoint of the world and natural minded therapy, they are called “Chronic” ailments. Many times doctors or physiatrists say it will take “years” to get better or that you many never completely recover at all.
However, the root of most of these issues is demonic and the way to take care of them is through Divine Connection with God and feeling His Divine Love through another saint. The reason this is so is because darkness cannot exist where there is light. When you switch on a lamp in a darkened room, it is not like the darkness lingers while the light is driving it away, the presence of light simply cancels out the dark instantaneously.
Likewise, as you open us to a God given spiritual connection, you become willing to deal with areas in your heart and life that you never had the will to challenge before. You feel loved and accepted for who you are and that makes you feel like you want to get better.
Sincerely,
Michael
Love this! And also your comment!
The analogy of the light and darkness is so good. . .and that is exactly what happens with connections. . .its amazing the extent of healing – spiritual, emotional, and physical – that I have experienced with no effort, other than to press in to God and my spiritual connection.
I wonder if part of this may also be true because pressing in to the Tabernacles Blessing is actually obedience to the greatest commandments Jesus gave us: To Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. . .and love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39) – obedience to God brings his favor and blessing, and His love that flows through us as we are obedient to walk in it then becomes truly miraculous.
And loving others – letting Him love them through us, actually – makes His love complete in us: “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” 1 John 4:12 and that love that is complete makes it so much more powerful.
What an amazing blessing – thanks for sharing all your insights with us!
Big hugs and love –
Dear CL,
Thank you so much for your comment. Yesterday, I made the mistake of thinking an Ocean Spray concentrated cranberry drink was just a regular beverage. Wow, that was strong! However, when I mixed it correctly it was quite refreshing.
I think that God is bringing “translators” to the final feast. You have this ability to take what is written here and re-explain it in a very accessible way. You also mentioned to me about Spiritual Connections being Divine Assignments from God. There, again, you explained how Divine Assignments work and how, even though they are out of the ordinary, it is ok, because God is directing you to do it. In essence, we live by an supernatural rulebook instead of an earthly set of laws. Very kewl and great work! I encourage you to write more as you feel Spirit led!
Big hugs,
Michael
