There’s A Whole Lotta Translation Goin On

Preface
If you walk into a room and see what looks like a Ming vase sitting on your friends desk, what’s your first reaction? Many might say to themselves, “nah, that can’t be real!” Very few would assume it is an original, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Likewise, one of the challenges in sharing about the biblical phenomena of translation is that the counterfeit, such as astral projection, soul travel, etc… is so prevalent, many automatically assume what you say is fake. Unfortunately, Lucifer purposely muddies the waters with regard to rapture, precisely because the original truth is so valuable. However, realize that no one goes to the trouble of copying something that’s worth nothing.
What I am about to share with you is not generally known in Christian circles. My hope is to bring some clarity to the wonderful things God is doing among us. I pray that God give us eyes to see and ears to hear what His Spirit is saying to this generation.
Paul writes,

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
1 Corinthians 2:13,14
Understanding translation is a important doctrine, because it happens so much to believers. The problem is, we just don’t know it is happening because we mislabel this phenomena as other things. Yet, as I will show you, translation is at the core of almost all of our spiritual experiences.
We do have a need to know
In these last days, God is revealing such fundamental principles through His seers and prophets because we need to know them for our safety and to do do the work of His ministry.
Many call this phenomenon “the Rapture” or “catching away”, however, for the purpose of our discussion it simply means “moving around by God’s Spirit”.
There’s a whole lotta translation going on

To begin with, when God translates you, He moves you by His Spirit from one place to another. You can be translated into a certain room of a house, or from one place to another on earth, or even to heaven. Quite often, though most don’t realize it, they experience the New Heavens and New Earth. In each of these instances, God simply moves you by His Spirit from one place to another.
God can translate your whole body or just your spirit. This can happen when you are awake or asleep. Sometimes, you are actually in two places at once. Dreams and visions, if they are from God, often translate you to different places while your body stays put. The writings of Seers and Prophets often record what they’ve seen and heard in places they have actually been.
Much scripture was received through translation
Much, if not all of the book of Genesis is written through translation, for Moses actually went and witnessed the things he penned. This is what He was doing during his 40 days in the mountain of God. Moreover, Paul received a great deal of the New Testament when God translated him into the third heaven.
Moreover, Paul even talks of being “present” in the spirit to the Corinthian church.
Paul says,
(For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, .
1 Corinthians 5:12
This is not an isolated incidence with Paul either. This is how he kept up with churches in different locations. The apostle saw and heard what he needed to know through being caught away to different places in his ministry.
Christians have all the time in the world
Time, in the Spirit, does not exist as an absolute as it does in our realm. That is why a day to the Lord is as a thousand years here. Moreover, people who are translated can move backwards or forwards in time as God leads. While most prophets travel forwards in time, in certain instances they travel backwards in time to different situations on earth. In most cases, this is how they’re aware of things that cannot otherwise be known.
You must be translated into heaven by God. The only bridge to the city of our Great King is YHWH Himself. While everything is strictly ordered by time in our creation, in the realms of the Spirit, everything already exists and has been that way, in earthly terms, forever. Thus, when God translates you to heaven, time doesn’t matter. You can be gone for only a few moments and experience things past, present, and future in a matter of minutes.
There are partial translations
People tend to think of translation, as in the rapture, as an absolute, an either/or proposition. However, this is not the case all the time. In fact the majority of translation is partial in nature. Prophetic dreams or waking visions, occur while our Spirit is taken one place as our bodies remain here. Many of the best Christian artists hear heavenly music, composing those melodies into songs. They actually hear music from Heaven or even the New Heavens and New Earth through a foretaste of their inheritance. Many of the best Christian artists hear and compose this way. This is how you get heavenly music.
Translation happens during spiritual connection with God and each other
Translation is particularly present during deep spiritual connections with other members of the Body of Christ. God syncs you with a brother or a sister (or sometimes whole groups) and you begin to feel what they feel and sometimes even see what they see. This is not mystical, but rather just a function of moving to where they are by translation.
During these times of extreme unity, your spirit translates. This is what the unity of the Body of Christ is, spiritual oneness through translation. We feel each other so deeply that we spiritually discern our brethren. You don’t have to discern the whole body, just the one or ones God connects you with through His divine love. However, as we are fitly joined together in this way, each of us supplies what the other needs and the whole Body of Christ is built up in love.
As God wills, translation is for everybody

People tend to think of translation as a gift given only to a chosen few. Granted, we most often see these gifts operated by prophets and seers. However, from the beginning until now, this is just the way God moves people around. This is also how angels move too. For instance, Enoch was the first person, that we are aware of, to be translated. Why? For he walked with God and God took him. Where? To Heaven.
Translation is how the New Jerusalem got to heaven in the first place
The city of our Great King, the original Jerusalem was translated by the power of God into heaven. God took His city, lock, stock and barrel, from Eden and placed it into heaven where it is to this very day. This is where people go when they are translated up to God and to His throne. However, when YHWH creates a New Heaven and New Earth, that Holy City is translated back down into God’s new creation. It is depicted as a bride adorned for her husband, because the saints who have been resurrected or translated are in it.
Furthermore, when Jesus comes with ten thousands of his saints, we see translation in action. In fact, all throughout the scriptures angels and people are moved around by the Spirit of God this way.
Translation to the stars of heaven

In conclusion, if you can receive it, translation had a much bigger role to play in our original purpose than people realize. Rapture was to be the method God used to populate the stars of heaven. Though God illustrated how many descendants Abraham would father, He was also literally talking of mankind spreading throughout the universe. This is what our fascination with outerspace is really all about. Except, instead of speeding around in a man-made space ship, God, through translation, purposed to send us to distant galaxies instantaneously.
Finally, nothing is impossible for God. Moreover, translation is not something reserved only for special people. Though it is supernatural, we are all children of the supernatural and translation is our birthright. Amen.
This is a neat thought. . .two of the scriptures that God gave me early in my connection experience, to prove the scriptural accuracy of it, are the two times that Paul was with the churches he was ministering to “in spirit” and not in person. That can’t mean “In his heart”, because he specifically mentions being able to see what is going on (noting that the Colossians were “orderly” for example). He talks about it like it’s a regular experience.
Translation is such an amazing part of divine connections! There have been times when I have been able to catch a glimpse of my connection at his home or somewhere else when I was far away. I could see what he was doing and what he was wearing. . .and on a couple of those occasions I saw him with my eyes the same day and he was wearing exactly what I saw and had been where I saw him. .such great confirmation! There have also been times when I have been able to smell him – as if I am sitting very close to him. . .this is, of course, in addition to being able to feel him – his presence and his emotions – wherever I am, regardless of distance.
Your site is very encouraging to me! For so long we (my connection and I) have had to deal with people who don’t “get” what we have, and so they don’t encourage us in it. And because of this, there have been times when I would not have pursued it at all, except that DAILY – literally DAILY – God talks to me about the connection and He teaches me and encourages me in it.
And so much of what He has taught me – even some things that I have questioned my “hearing” about (can this really be what He is saying?) – you are saying on this website. God is so faithful, and I have been encouraged by reading your posts – and your responses to my comments – to press in to even more of this connection and see what else God has for us! Thank you!
Dear CL,
Yes, becoming one with God and, by extension your connection, basically makes us one person. Just like you would know your own body, you know your spiritual connection. Though it is supernatural, it feels completely natural too.
Many look at unity as simple agreement between people. However, the biblical definition of unity, once we begin to experience it, goes way beyond what we ever imagined possible. Divine unions is one heart, one soul, one mind of Christ experienced through each other as God wills.
It is really wonderful to hear you share about how God is working in and through you towards you Divine Mate. Though that is hard for me to write, because I don’t know how you will take it, that is what I feel lead to say. I mean no disrespect and I do understand what you have said about things.
All spiritual connections have a divine purpose and those vary widely depending on what God wants to accomplish in and through them. Some are for ministry, some are for healing, and some are eternal unions that will never pass away. Among these most blessed of unions are Divine Mates. All throughout history God has moved His kingdom forward through matched pairs. These are sacred unions that He flows through to accomplish His will.
Satan always attacks divine mates just like what happed with Adam and Eve. Lucifer actually used their love against them in that she knew that Adam would join his Divine Mate in her sin in order to try to save her. Adam was the original tragic hero.
There is a clarity that flows through you that is born of the Spirit. It’s a very powerful witness to what you share. I also know that you have only scratched the surface of what you have experienced too. I just want to say that, as you feel led of His Spirit, share anything you like. My spirit recognizes you spirit and I feel very comfortable with anything you have to say.
The spiritual connection experience is vast. It actually takes place all the time, but in different ways that we don’t recognize as such. Most of the time, spiritual connections are thwarted by the enemy of our soul, but sometimes they triumph and become the epic love stories we read about in history. I believe there is great value in putting down our testimonies to help others understand what’s happening to them.
We really appreciate you and your connection very much! It is always a treat to read what you say.
Blessings forever in Him,
Michael
Thank you, Michael for those words! I really appreciate you saying that your spirit recognizes mine. From the first time I read one of your posts there was something recognizable about what you said. . ..and it’s an odd thing, I don’t always agree with all your words, but I do recognize your spirit. . .that’s cool.
And thank you also for giving me the freedom to write here as the Spirit leads me – I am humbled by your kind words as well, and am truly only sharing what I believe He wants me to say here, and I’ll continue that – thanks!
Interesting, that I read this reply right after you posted it (unusual that I would get on here at that time). And all day today – even before reading it – I have had a strangely close, kind of different type of feeling with my connection – like somehow we got a step closer (though we haven’t seen each other in person in about 6 weeks) – hard to explain. . .
Thanks also for your boldness to share what you felt God told you to write. Hmmm. . . I am taking those words with me into His presence and will see what He tells me. . .I (we) have had no one to address our connection with any kind of real encouragement or direction, and I am so used to hearing things like, “God wouldn’t do that” (although one person that said those words said later that God spoke to him as “clearly as he has ever heard God speak” that HE (God) was doing it, and that person did not need to understand); or “don’t let your emotions and attraction take over” or “wow, never heard of that – be careful” etc. . . even well meaning people don’t really have much to encourage us with. . .
So it’s strange (and welcomed!) to get encouragement for our connection. . . I’m not sure I completely understand the concept of Divine Mates – I have read what you have written about them here, but circumstances with us are so different. . .. I am not taking your words with any offense, and I truly appreciate your boldness and your respect – and would welcome anything else you feel Him leading you to write. . . just pondering and praying and asking Him to let me be willing to do all that He asks.
Thanks again – God bless!
Dear CL,
Very kewl! We are very glad that you are here. Isn’t that something how things work in the Spirit. Everything just flows right!
Big hugs and God bless,
Michael
Thanks!
As I took the words that you felt led to share with me to Him – actually before I even got deeply into my “secret place” with Him, I asked Him (as I was cooking dinner) – “did you really tell him to write that for me?” Very quickly, He clearly responded “Yes, I did.” . .. .
And as I have been with Him with those words, “divine mate” it broke something over me and in me, very uncomfortably and simultaneously very beatufifully. . .
It’s like setting a magnet on top of all the words He has spoken to me regarding the connection, and all those words coming under alignment. It’s like it “twists the focus” of what He has been teaching me and strangely (which is good confirmation) brings me SOO much peace.
I am asking Him to define “divine mates” for us – I don’t believe I know yet how it will play out – because it’s not earthly, and I can’t use earthly relationships as an example – but it is something…..probably deeper than what I have been allowing myself to believe and beyond what I have thus far comprehended. I’m afraid I have been working so hard to “create holy boxes” based on my understanding (or possible misunderstandings) of Truth and of human relationships to put this connection in, rather than just letting Him show me His Holiest Box that it goes in. . .
In fact, He is using this “revelation” as a teaching point for me – to open areas of my heart that I have not realized I have closed to Him, because far too often I allow logic to filter what He tells me – this limits so much of what He wants to reveal to me.
I am sharing below something He spoke to me very clearly this morning along those lines, because I feel strongly He wants me to share it, and I feel like it could encourage lots of people . . .
Thanks for your faithfulness – God bless you!
Dear CL,
I just appreciate your comments, thank you so much for sharing. Besides what you say, what struck me very forcefully is the clarity with which you say it. It’s like the feeling of being in green pastures and drinking clear waters with our Lord. I really love revelation and the way it gives people 20/10 vision in the Spirit. Well done.
John says,
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;”
And,
“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.”
1 John 1:1,3
It is the word of our testimony that carries weight in heaven and on earth. We simply report, honestly, what we both seen and heard of our Lord. We invite others, through sharing out experiences, to taste and see that our Lord is good too. This is really what the Tabernacle Experience is all about.
Also, Paul says,
“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.”
1 Corinthians 12:4-7
So, when you share and compare your experience, we all come to understand that, though each and every spiritual connection is unique and profound, they all share similar traits because there is one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, from which they flow.
I also really appreciate how brave you and your spiritual union have been to walk this path on your own by faith. I know, through living this personally, how difficult it can be to believe what the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart. You know for certain it is true, but still you ask “how can these things be?” Going so deeply into His love for another, is a place of total trust and reliance upon God because literally no one around understands, much less agrees with how our Father leads us. Like you, when I meet people who share about these wonderful things, it really builds my faith and gives me great joy.
I think as people go deeper into God’s divine love there is going to be a whole lotta of translation going on between different parts of the Body of Christ. It is an amazing thing to know your spiritual connection so thoroughly that you feel when they are happy, know when they are sad, pray for them when they are attacked or in trouble. This is true discernment and it is what the unity of the Spirit is all about. God gives us charge over the one or ones He connects us with to whatever degree He decides. When you have a whole church where people unite with individuals as God leads, then no one is ever alone or without the support and love of God.
It is really a very holy thing God calls us to do and we feel it. These unions are so pure, so precious, we would never, ever want to sully them in anyway. While we are willing to do anything that God asks, we are equally as unwilling to do anything God doesn’t ask. We want to protect our spiritual connection and give them everything God desires. It is our joy to be selfless and it is as easy as breathing for us.
Thanks again CL for sharing, you are a big encouragement to everyone. I pray God keep and protect you, your connection and your family.
May God bless you richly and forever,
Michael
Beautiful words and confirmation – those are some of the very same scriptures God has given me related to my connection! And I agree that as divine connections serve different purposes in Christ, they may look different from each other – and that is wonderful and so like Him!
Thanks for the encouragement and confirmation about the writing, too…I believe God is leading me to write a book – or something – on divine connections as they relate to personal intercession….that’s being stored up in my heart as He continues to teach me, and I’m waiting on His timing….
Even as I continue reading some of your other posts, God is confirming a lot of what He has been teaching me in the last few years. He has taken me on what I thought initially were two “separate” journeys – like two branches of the same tree. One has been the journey of the love and spiritual bond between me and my connection. The other has been a drawing into a deeper intimacy with Christ. A couple of years ago He led me on an in-depth study of the Song of Solomon to reveal to me in a new way His passionate love for me.
I am realizing now, though, that these two journeys are actually the “same branch” – and some of your writings have put words to some things I have understood in my spirit. As I grow closer to Him and let His Spirit lead me deeper, everything between me and my connection also deepens and gets more intense and “clearer” – this illustrates the Tabernacle experience you describe, I guess.
Since my connection started – or since we became aware of it, however that works – I never have an experience with God, in His presence, in which I don’t feel my connection there with me. And God has specifically instructed me that at those times when my connection is struggling or feels personally distant from God, I am to “go get him” – in the Spirit, not in person – and consciously make sure he is there with me (it’s hard to explain how I do this, but it’s very real). God told me clearly “Where your soul goes, His goes.” – because we are connected; our souls and spirits are knit together. So I have to be very careful where my soul goes! But I do believe that he (my connection) experiences, to some degree, everything that I enjoy in God’s presence – this also is a tremendous tool for me as His intercessor.
You describe deeper experiences of this with your connection, situations that you can discuss and confirm with each other. My verbal communication with my connection is currently a bit limited due to limits placed on our relationship, but in the Spirit our communication is growing and growing 🙂 … but at this point I mostly have only what I sense in the Spirit to confirm some things to me. God is SOOO faithful, though, and has encouraged me with His words and other confirmations to trust what I am picking up on as truth – using some of your words for this as well.
When the connection first started, and all this was new and being discovered, and I first realized that I was no longer ever in the presence of God without my connection, I mentioned this to him and asked him if it bothered him. He said, “No, why would that bother me?” I replied, “Because it implies a kind of long-term spiritual thing.” His response was: “I think we both know that we have a long-term spiritual thing.” – that makes me smile, and describes it all so innocently and perfectly.
Thanks again for your boldness and faithfulness!
Dear CL,
It is interesting that you are an intercessor. Perhaps people who interceded for others do become one with those they stand in the gap for.
I remember praying one time and during that prayer I felt as though I held someone in my lap. I had the distinct impression that it was a Chinese prisoner and I comforted him. I held him for close to an hour if I remember right. It was so real that my hand felt the contours of his head and hair. It literally wouldn’t go into the area where he lay. I wonder if that type of experience, which I would call a type of translation, is more common among intercessors than we generally know.
There is that sense of eternity with your connection isn’t there. It is an unshakable belief, a knowing, that these things are eternal. In fact “timeless” would be a more accurate way to say it.
Please do write a book or anything else if you feel to do so. You are unusually clear in how you express yourself and there is a peace that flows through your writings. I know that what you share here is done very well and very much appreciated. For those who experience God’s love in one another like this, these things are incredibly precious and personal. It takes a lot of trust in God to be vulnerable enough to speak of these wonderful experiences. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing so.
Big hugs and God bless!
Michael
Thanks again for the encouragement! And that picture of you interceding for the Chinese prisoner is beautiful!
I do think divine connections are such a powerful tool for intercession – and something I think God has probably always used, but has possibly heightened for the last days. . .what happens if we get to the point where there is no texting, or phones, or internet – how can those we intercede for let us know they need prayer? With divine connections, that will never be an issue. What I have with my connection is a protected line of communication that no one can hinder, tell me I can’t use, stop, or interrupt – we can ALWAYS communicate, as long as we stay in His Spirit – and that is absolutely priceless!
I’ve been thinking about something you have said a few times (as you did above) about divine connections being eternal, timeless. . .
When God called me to be the personal intercessor for my connection He said clearly: “I have called you to be an intercessor for him and his ministry – from now to eternity.” – I have felt for the last 5 years that in a sense it won’t ever end. Even when we are in heaven and I don’t need to intercede for him in the way I do now, the bond between us will remain, because our souls are knit and we are one in spirit, they way David and Jonathan were. Married people are one FLESH and that is a covenant on earth that lasts until death. But divine connections are one in SOUL or SPIRIT – and I have felt in my spirit, are eternal.
And I looked up something I wrote down that God spoke to me last December regarding that:
He said (referring to my connection): “. .. .this is an eternal bond – which is why you are not married to him – it’s eternal. In eternity it will morph into the fullness of what I have for ALL My children: Unity of Spirit.”
He spoke that to me before I found your website and had never heard anything like it before – I knew it was His voice, but I tucked it away because I had never heard anyone teach anything like it. . .so much of what He has revealed to you echoes so much of what He has revealed to me, and it is so encouraging. . .
Thanks again!
Dear CL,
I love what you said, “I knew it was His voice”. For me this is one of the most important things for each one of us to believe and practice. You both heard and believed His voice, thus God was able to lead you into the blessing you now enjoy.
It is interesting that as I write you, I hear the words in my heart and mind and simply speak them through writing. Often, if I write something other than what I hear, I have to go back and correct. It is not like dictation, but more a form of loving cooperation. Like you, I don’t always understand what He says, but I do have faith in His voice and the “feeling” of His Spirit flowing through me.
This, in my estimation, is the basis of the Bride of Christ. We simply listen to what our Lord says and believe it with our whole hearts. It is almost like submission in its purist form. I love trusting Him and being what He wants me to be.
I think as you are testifying of your faith in God and the experiences you’ve had, it’s adding another dimension to the whole concept of Divine Love and Spiritual Connections. Jesus speaks with the voice of “many” waters and I think the more He can speak through different parts of His people, the better.
It’s an odd feeling, but I don’t feel any separation between myself and my spiritual connection any longer. It’s as if we are one person. However, being so close to another doesn’t limit me in anyway, but gives me true liberty in everything we do. There is just no end or beginning to it, probably because God is present in it. It is a very secure feeling indeed.
I believe that God has a special connection or connections for every single person within the Body of Christ. Some are stronger than others, and some, like yours, are beyond time and space. What I desire is for everyone to be free to allow God to connect them in whatever way and to whatever extent He desires. That, to me, is when His Kingdom comes, His will is done, on earth as it is in heaven.
God bless and big hugs,
Michael
Thank you, Michael – I agree with this, especially with what you said about testifying. . . sharing what I have on your site has allowed me to put words to what my spirit knows and learns, combined with reading what you have written, especially about Spiritual Connections. And this had given me greater understanding and much greater faith!
I believe I have gone from 95% convinced about all that God has done and confirmed and spoken to me about my connection, as well as the entire gift of it for the Body of Christ, to 110% convinced.
Although I still have to be very careful in what I share with others about it, because in my love for them I don’t want them to be hurt (and I know some aspects of it can cause jealousy and hurt in those who don’t understand), I am SOO confident and encouraged to continue to pursue and develop it – and especially to press in to more!
Something that is a new revelation to me in the last few weeks is that God even has MORE for us in this connection! Now that I am 110% convinced, I am ready and eager to see what that is – and SOO blessed that He has chosen me to be a part of something this wonderful! I now have peace and rest to just enjoy what He has done as He continues to grow it – He did tell me that the connection is “organic” – it is growing and maturing and changing. . .
Thanks again for taking a stand to speak of these things – not just connections, but living a life that is completely Spirit led. This is SO vital for the body of Christ, and is so hindered in so many ways for many believers. It has been encouraging and inspirational for me to read about these things.
I’m sure you have gotten some flak for some of the things you have posted on this site, but I am grateful for your boldness and for giving people like me a forum to share about these things that most of the Body of Christ doesn’t understand or doesn’t know about – or maybe just doesn’t open themselves up to. I have been longing for and praying for God to direct me to others of His children who have experienced the same things (i.e. spiritual connections) so that I can have an outlet to discuss and share ideas and compare experiences. And he brought you guys to me, and I am grateful!
Praying God blesses you abundantly!
Preface: Hi CL, this came out more of an essay than an individual reply so I put it down here.
Dear CL,
It is true that there’s precious little encouragement for spiritual connections within Christ’s body at this present time. It takes an intrepid soul and a stout spirit to say yes to God when hardly anyone understands. Yet, hasn’t it been ever thus with men and women of faith who did impossible things through simple belief?
In every generation there are those who are called to their own test of faith. I only hope and pray when God does something beyond Tabernacles that I remain open and pliable to His Spirit. I remember one 90 year old man in Texas. Everyone regarded him as a pillar of faith in the community. I think he was born just after the turn of the last century. At that time, much to my dislike, everyone was calling me a prophet, including him.
God gave a word through me that moved the whole city. Yet, after God did that, He told me to say a another certain thing to a local prophet. Unfortunately, it had to do with spiritual connections and he noised it abroad very quickly. I will never forget the phone call from the old man. Over the line he said, “I don’t understand what you are doing, but I cannot say by the Spirit it is wrong. I will say nothing against it.” Can you imagine how much restraint it took for someone born so long ago to listen to God instead of his theology? Simply amazing, I hope I am like him when I grow up.
The revelation about God’s Seraphim is just flooding my spirit lately. I have been talking and writing about it more and more. Today, my Divine Mate stood up in church where she does readings and oddly enough this is the text they gave her.
“In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
Isaiah 6:1-8
As she read these scriptures in front of the congregation, she felt as though she was in that same vision looking as Isaiah as those things transpired. She felt as though she was scripture. It really shook her to the core and this sister is not easily shaken.
This, to my spirit was like when Jesus said,
“And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
Luke 20:29,21
I said all that to say this, it is incumbent upon us to take our positions in God so that others might be blessed. Though we have lived our lives and received our revelations in secret, it is time to show them openly upon a hill for all to see. There is a baptism of love just like there was a baptism of the Spirit and that same spirit is upon us to preach the acceptable day of the Lord. Which is what we are doing in the writings of the final feast.
Though I was uncomfortable with the mantel of a prophet, I was the closest example of that office they had ever seen. Each time I yielded to God and did exactly what He said to do, they became even more convinced. I even had one young man grab my feet, declaring he would not let go unless I blessed him. In truth, it was not the prophetic office but rather the spirit of God manifested through me because of spiritual connections. What they saw in me was simply a foretaste of the move of Tabernacles.
Since that time, I hope I have matured a bit and I now feel that I should have focused on their needs rather that my feelings of inadequacy. They wanted God so much, I should have just let them have Him through me without concern. In truth, God Himself put a stop to it in His own way, letting me, so to speak, off the hook.
In our day and place, it costs very little to proclaim we are Christians. However, it does cost us dearly to be who we truly are. I think, though, this is why we are all called speak the revelation of spiritual connections, it is our test of faith as well as a blessing for those around us. For I believe, that the difference between rapture and ruin in these last days may be the acceptance or rejection of God’s Divine Love manifested in and between the body of Christ. We are like the modern day versions of apostles, except instead of the gospel of salvation or even Pentecost, we preach and demonstrate the gospel of Divine Love. How kewl is that?
We are forerunners of revival of His love that will sweep the world and, for a brief moment, bring about the age of Philadelphia. It is our privilege to show forth His very nature to those who hunger and thirst after Him. The things we share here, that seem perhaps inconsequence to us, may be the very things that strengthen many in the coming days. What a privilage to be entrusted with something so important to God’s heart. I just want us to be faithful in the little He has given us to do because I really want to hear these words,
“Well done, thou 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 25:21
God bless you and yours always,
Michael
Very cool – thanks for sharing that. . . I appreciate your honesty and humility! Love hearing how God has worked through you and in you. . . .
I feel strongly that the Lord wants me to share “verbatim” part of a conversation He and I had this morning in a wonderful, beautiful meeting time. . .He is so sweet and precious. . .

“Don’t be unteachable.”
– Okay, Lord, but you know I’m going to take anything I hear and weigh it against Your Word – to prove it is You and not my heart that I am hearing.
“What’s wrong with hearing your heart?”
– It’s deceitful above all else (quoting Jeremiah 17:9.)
“It’s renewed – it’s Mine. The heart that is deceitful is the one that is hardened to me. When I take that heart out and put in a new one of flesh, that becomes the central place where I speak to you and confirm My heart for you and to you – rather than your mind.
“Stop using your mind as the filter for what I speak to you in your heart. Your mind often filters out My TRUTH because it is not logical. Look at Me through history – when have I ever done what is logical to man? (felt Him smile here).
“My Word, as it is alive in your heart, is your filter – truths that transcend logic, and even different colors of the words and meanings that are fashioned just for you – little secret treasures I reveal to you there – especially for you – that many others don’t see. My Word was never meant to be dogma – all Truth, yes, but flowing and alive – not static and stale.
“How is it that My Word is both the written Word and The Son?”
– pondering that. . . .

I am seeing more clearly what He intends for His people – New Covenant believers – when He says to “walk in the Spirit”.
In Ezekiel 36 when He talks about taking out the hearts of stone and giving us hearts of flesh, His explanation of that is filling us with His Spirit – so we no longer walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-18) – which flows through our hearts of flesh He has given us – and all that He speaks and all we hear needs to be filtered through that new heart/His Spirit – not our minds. . . .those who are truly led by His Spirit will echo and come into alignment with His Word – not vice versa, the dogma and doctrine can’t bring us into alignment with Him – His written Word points us deeper to His Spirit, who then reveals even more than His Word can contain, when we let His Word live in our hearts. . . Hard to explain. . .
Walking in relationship like Adam did pre-sin and like Jesus did – that’s our examples. . .
Blessings. . . .
