Becoming

Beholding and becoming.

First to behold.

Just to be.

Just to be and hold.

Just be and hold.

Now to become.

What is it you are becoming?

What shall come to be?

Who shall you come to be?

What is becoming of you?

What is becoming of you?

What are you becoming?

For your be is now coming.

For that which was is no more.

That which is to be has come.

What is to be?

For to behold is amazing.

Is she not a wonder to behold.

For to behold her is to hold on to wonder.

Yet without her, what is it you behold?

I have nothing to hold. I can only hold on to that which remains, the nothing that remains. I only feel the loss. Yet I love what she is becoming. Brighter and brighter, her face shining like the Son!

“This I know, of this I’m sure, that you hold my whole world”

“Oh your love will never fail me”

This one thing remains…

My love remains.

Hold fast to my love.

Abide in my love and you shall bear much fruit.

My love holds onto you.

My love has a firm grip on you.

My hand holds you up.

Just be, for I have hold, for I have hold of you!

“Oh your love will never fail me.”

Yet it is I that has called you out, out of darkness, into my marvellous light.

Do not come to your senses.

Just hold on to my hand.

For you need have no regard for that which you see.

I know how you feel.

“Patiently you showed the way, into the clearing. I’m finally seeing”

You feel like you are being led away, led astray, led away, off course, out of position, losing yourself, losing your way, unsure of where you are going, and what you are becoming.

You know me Lord.

Yet here you find yourself at the gate.

In the unexpected place.

Cast out, led out, released from that which held you fast.

Have I not made a way of escape.

Did I not make the way of escape.

Yet now you know.

Yet now you know.

Yet now you have knowledge.

Yet now it is revealed unto you.

Did you not ask “what is the point of the escape, are we not meant to be more than conquerors?”

Yet now you know the answer…

To possess the promised land. To fulfil your purpose. To destroy the works of the enemy.

You speak the truth, yet you forget who made the way!

What effort did those whom I have called make?

To arise. To be clothed. To come. To follow. To lift up their hands. To take your hand. To walk as you have commanded. To simply do what you asked of them.

Have I not said to you come!

For who is it that has ordered your movement?

Who is it that gives you the power to move?

For in You we live and move and have our being.

Yet you are more than you are.

Yet you are more than you are.

Yet are so much more than you are.

We are only just getting started.

Repeat after me “My haven’t I grown”

You want to fold your arms, to lock yourself up again, you want to batten down the hatches.

Yet now is the time of your release.

For I have released you.

Be released.

Explore all that I have given you.

For what is it you see?

The placing of gold into my hand. The bowing of all around. The power of your purpose within me. Isaiah 14:24-27 The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought and planned, so shall it come to pass, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand— That I will break the Assyrian in My land, and upon My mountains I will tread him underfoot. Then shall the Assyrian’syoke depart from the people of Judah, and his burden depart from their shoulders. This is the Lord’s purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth regarded as conquered and put under tribute by Assyria; and this is His omnipotent hand that is stretched out over all the nations. For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who can annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?

“So I will will let go and take another step, crossing the borderline till I find what is next”

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face to face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.
