Have I Been So Long Inside You, Yet You Do Not Know Me?
Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask that you will help all those who read this essay to know, through your Holy Spirit, that You dwell in each and every believer who speaks with other tongues. I ask that You give your people a revelation of the power of the Spirit of Elijah, Your Holy Spirit, that is able to move mountains with the smallest of faiths. I ask that You enlighten the minds and hearts of your people so that they will understand that “Emanuel” desires to walk this Earth again in them. Amen.
The Spirit of Revelation inside you
The Spirit of revelation is upon me this evening and I feel compelled to write to all those who have ears to hear what His Spirit is saying to this generation. It is not a small thing when God speaks and we, as His people, should consider listening to the words of our Father as He communicates His will and desires to us.
The Body of Christ
We are the Body of Christ. We are God incarnate on this Earth at this present time. As the world looks at us they are supposed to see Jesus Christ looking back at them. When people of the world hurt they are supposed to feel the healing touch of God through our fingers. The world cries and Christ in us comforts them. What people need and really desire is to experience God with them and the way that our Father has chosen to do this, at this time, is through the many-membered body of believers that he is uniting under Christ, as our head, by His Holy Spirit.
Share the treasure that is inside you
This treasure, which each one of us possess inside, must be shared with one another. We cannot be witnesses for God unless we experience Him in our lives. People are literally dying because they don’t know how to allow God to live through them. Like unfeeling travelers in the parable of the good samaritan, we pass by those who are hurting.
Here is a truth,
“People want God and only God. Until they find God inside you, they won’t listen to anything we say.”
Only through becoming one with God will there ever be a unity of the Spirit. Being of one heart and mind in Christ causes the unity of the faith. The fact that we believe different things only demonstrates we do not yet have the mind of Christ.
Having the mind of Christ is not something we can do in and of ourselves. The truth is that the unity of the Body of Christ results from a “shared” experience in Christ. Divine Love is a by-product of the “Tabernacle Blessing.” Through becoming “one” with God we manifest His love to one another. This is what knits the Body of Christ together. We ask for it and received it just like salvation or Spirit baptism. We cannot save ourselves nor speak in other tongues. Likewise, the Tabernacle Blessing is a free gift given from above to bless God’s children.
For as many who are led by the Spirit of God
Be filled With His Spirit
Paul says,
“ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Romans 8:14
Being led by the Spirit is a fundamental characteristic of the sons of God. People, who know us, should say, “oh yeah, that person is always talking about hearing the voice of God and doing whatever He says.”
Be filled with the Love of God
In conclusion, do you know who is inside you? Are you allowing Christ to reveal Himself to others through you? Seek the Tabernacle experience as a thirsty man seeks water in a desert. Yield to the love of God when He fills your heart with it. Don’t be afraid to touch those who are hurting or needing reassurance.
Above all, “trust God more than you trust those around you.” YHWH is your master and you are His servant. No one has the right to intervene in what God is doing through you. Be a good and faithful servant so that Jesus says to you,
“His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
Matthew 25:23
How can I apply this teaching to my life?
The next time someone speaks to you about a problem, silently pray and ask Jesus to speak to them through you. Consciously give Jesus the go-ahead to say whatever he wants. Imagine yourself being transparent as the Holy Spirit speaks to the person before you.
As God speaks don’t judge the impact of what you are saying. After all, most people do not have a personal encounter with God manifest in the flesh every day. Simply let them know that God loves them and, in your heart, give all the glory to Him.

Amen.
‘And above all, “trust God more than you trust those around you.” God is you master and you are His servant. No one has the right or privilege to intervene in what God is doing through you’
This stood out because it has come up a lot today, posted about it elsewhere. It does has me think again of ‘your experiences with God are never at the mercy of a man’s theology’. Will put here what questions put elsewhere, the answers might help someone reading…
What would you say to someone who through no fault of their own, are unable, really struggle, to trust God?
How would you encourage them to?
You are to run the race as to win, run into your Father’s arms…
How does someone destroy the big boulder of mistrust which is in the way to achieving that?
Hi Kingdomsheir,
I like that quote “Your experience is never at the mercy of a man’s theology.”
I personally believe that it may not be possible to remove a persons mistrust until they, themselves, have a reason to trust. I, more than many, have reason to distrust people in general. Yet, when I sense the Holy Spirit coming through one of my brothers or sisters as I have described as the Tabernacle Blessing, I automatically trust them. I don’t have to do anything it just happens.
So a lot of things people really need to do are simply not going to happen if they have to somehow personally will it to be. Many of us are shattered people and left to our own devices we will be the walking wounded forever. Having said that, though, I have experienced the Tabernacle Blessing and being reintegrated by the love of God is as easy as speaking in other tongues. It is something that, when you yield to it, God takes over and it just happens.
It is written,
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?”
Matthew 7:7-11
These verses apply to the Tabernacle Blessing and the infilling of God’s Divine Love as much as anything else we have ever received from our Father. When you feel the love of God start to flow through you simply yield to it by faith and allow God to have His way. That is about all there is too it.
Thanks for your comments, I really enjoy them.

So do you experience that even just talking about it? But yeah ultimately its let go and let God, let it all go!
Dear Kingdomsheir,
Yes, I absolutely experienced that. Can you imagine what it is like to be totally free and whole? It is almost impossible to explain. It was the most amazing experience in my life. I have done things, in my christian walk, that many would not believe but nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to the Tabernacle Experience. The things I write about come from that experience and I am just sharing a little of it. What happened was so profound it has taken thirty years for me to even begin to comprehend it, and believe me, the half has not yet been told. What I write might seem to be hyperbole but in truth it is just a feeble attempt to describe an experience that is a foretaste of the world to come: the New heavens and New Earth. The Tabernacle Blessing was a foretaste of this:
” And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
Revelation 21:3-5
God bless,
Michael
Interesting you refer to the blessing as a foretaste of that particular scripture. As little as I know about that book, that particular bit has always stuck out. Wrote about it somewhere I think, where basically its like a double prophecy of ‘for now’ and ‘to come’. I also added a scripture on my signature yesterday which has me think of this post, but more so in how the ‘body of Christ’ communicate with each other, and know that what they are communicating is God borne, this again has me think of the Emmaus walk experience the disciples had of their hearts burning when Jesus was speaking to them. Even though they didn’t recognise Him, their spirits did.
1Cor2:10…The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words
Dear Kingdomsheir,
I remember that before I asked to be filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in other tongue that the Bible was essentially a closed book to me. I had the desire to know about God but it seemed to dry and dull to me. I also remember people who would read through the Bible in a year program, bit by bit, until finish. To me, even that seemed like a mountain I just couldn’t climb. After I spoke in other tongues it was as if a light had been turned on and sudden the scriptures came alive and I could not get enough of them. I was totally awesome!
You wrote,
“no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God”
This is why we need to be filled with His Spirit. We cannot know our Father intimately unless His Holy Spirit share His thoughts with us by being in us.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
God bless,
Michael
Yes this had me thinking of something I posted not long back on ‘taste and see that the Lord is Good’…
God sends the revival, not an evangelist, not preachers, not teachers, not magicians…
God alone will bring nations to their knees…
God alone will draw His people so they will hear His voice…
God alone not some self efforted magic show which makes a mockery of His mighty hand and power…
God meets people where they are at, whether that be home, work, car, supermarket, airport lounges…
What you say, God can be everywhere?
Yes this is so!
Taste and see that the Lord is good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 24
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.
5 They will receive blessing from the Lord
and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, God of Jacob.[c]
7 Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
Dear Kingdomsheir,
that is a good word! Thanks for sharing it. God is all in all.
Blessings,
Michael
