i have been having some of those amazing moments again... those breathtaking, awe-inspiring moments... and sometimes they come in the form of those... OH MY!... GOD!!!... i'm A-C-T-U-A-L-L-Y here!?! moments... again...
the kind when you can't help but just be still... it's as if, for a brief moment in time, every part of me just pauses... and everything around me is still... like the peaceful hush of a gentle nightime snowfall... all becomes momentarily silenced...
and then there are times when i become silenced... beautifully silenced...truly tongue tied...
brief, but oh so beautiful moments... triggered by various things... mostly GOD though... actually completely GOD though... if not directly from HIM, then through something or someone created by HIM... the outworkings of HIS CREATIVE hands and com/passionate heart...
and... DANCE... the unspoken language between body and soul which expresses that which is too deep for words... is starting to have voice in my life... finally...
that seed that was planted...
by the ONE that knew me before i was born, the ONE that set me apart and ordained me a prophet to the nations, the ONE that fearfully and wonderfully knit me together in my mothers' womb... the ONE my frame was not hidden from when i was made in that secret place... when i was woven together in the depths of the earth... the ONE whose eyes saw my unformed body and ordained all of my days and wrote them in HIS book before one of them came to be... oh, how precious to me are HIS thoughts, o GOD... how vast is the sum of them!!!
sooo, it's that very seed... that has weathered many a storm and through death has come to... live... finally shuting forth LIFE... WORSHIP...
i wonder what that seed will fully blossom into???
i have a sense, but that's where it ends... for now...
i know better now, anyway, to think i can even begin to figure it all out... but this i do know... that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge and like david said... such knowledge is too wonderful for me... too high... i cannot attain it... so therefore, i no longer try...
WORD...Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
AMEN

A prophet to the nations?! Are you kidding me? Is your name Jeremiah?
ReplyDeletePS There are no more prophets - we don't need them anymore! See below...
Hebrews 1
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself[a] purged our[b] sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
HAAEEEYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
jimothy ... what a religious spirit you have!!!
ReplyDelete-first of all- to prophesy means to speak over
-second of all- I HAVE been called to the nations
-third of all- it has already been happening... rwanda to name one... with more to come...
-fourth of all- what is it your business anyway what scriptures GOD has personally ‘lifed’ to me through the years and confirmed through others along the way and in the outworkings of my life as well...
not to mention you missed the whole poetic point of the paragraph... think outside the box for a change... get a revelation... u need to not get so wrapped in the one dimensional, ‘boxed in’ meanings of words... expand your perspective...
sooo, if your going to publicly rebuke me, then make sure you have a clue of what i am actually talking about anyway... GOD doesn't even do that and HE can... cuz it’s about relationship, not right or wrong answers all the time...
and my point, which was obviously missed, is quite biblical... words have power... THE WORD has power... the power of life and death is in the tongue... GOD spoke the world into existence, by the state of our heart and the word of our confession we are saved, ezekial spoke over the dry dead bones and they came to life... paul states, that we are to call forth those things that are not as though they were!!! zacharias’ mouth was shut up until johns birth cuz of the negative words of unbelief he would speak... even david stated that the tongue is the pen of a ready writer... JESUS said that because HE has gone to the FATHER, then we will do even greater things... if HE spoke it, i will speak it... and believe it... we are HIS hands and feet and mouth on the planet today!!!
the old testament conceals what the new testament reveals...
and yeah, maybe there are no more jeremiah’s or isaiah’s walking the earth today, who is arguing that one?... not me... and i don’t think i’m the new jeremiah anyway, nor do i want to be...
do u seriously not even know me yet??? do u still not know my heart???...
why do have to get me all fired up??? uughh... why am i forced to respond to such nonsense, don't you know what this kind of stuff takes out of me... and how busy i am... aren't we on the same team anyway!?!... my energy needs to be focused elsewhere... sheesh...
when u get like this... u become everything u hate... taking a scripture out of the context of the text it was written in (in this case my blog), then twisting it to ur own warped perspective...
ya know for an eggbert genius sometimes i actually think ur a 'lil retarded... LOVE U anyway brother!!!
:-|
ps- forgive me for the use of the inapproprite r- word in that last sentence, but i felt it necessary to illustrate my thought...
pss- if u have anything else to say, then plz do so, within the context of a private arena...
Please read Romans 4:17 and you will see that it is God who calls things that are not as though they were. We do not have creative power in our words. Check your email
ReplyDeletei did read romans roman 4:17... GOD said it, but paul was re-stated it... and there is creative power in our words... GOD is a creative GOD, and we are made in HIS image... so, sorry that you can't see that... brother.
ReplyDeleteI was really thinking about this and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for posting that way in public. It was inappropriate and I could have used better choice of words to get the point across.
ReplyDeleteLove you!
thank u brother... that means sooo much to me... and i really respect you for it... i love u too... hermie says... YES! haaeeyyy.
