Eye Opening

Blown away.

Blowing away.

Fresh wind.

A strong wind.

A mighty wind.

A blowing away of that which lies upon the surface.

A strong wind.

A mighty wind.

A fresh wind.

The wind of restoration, the winds of change, the winds of preparation.

And a disturbance of that which you walk upon.

Great impact.

Deep penetration.

The breaking of that which you stand upon.

For you shall walk upon the path of breakthrough.

For the path lies broken before you.

For wherever you walk the ground breaks open before you.

For that which is hard breaks before you.

The place of the tile, breaks before you.

The patterned place, the structured place, the square place, the place of the box, the ordered place, breaks before you.

For I am barely scratching the surface.

For I am disturbing the superficial, that which lies on the surface.

Stop walking like you are on egg shells and walk like you carry the weight of my word.

For you see them walking in the twilight of darkness, unable to see a way forward. No definition, without a landmark, no means to navigate.

Yet I am throwing them a lifeline. Wrapping around them, I’m pulling them out.

Look again, perceive again, walk again.

For it is not as it seems.

For what is it I have shown you?

A vast cathedral so huge I could not see the end of it. It had a roof yet I could not see how it was supported. Upon the floor I could see a vast mosaic all over the floor. As I walked I could see the seeds of brokenness falling from my hand. And as I walked each piece fell into its appointed place. Like pieces of a puzzle forming as I walked. And yet the place was vacant. And I discerned this was the tent of meeting placed in the heavens above.

And look again what is it I have shown you?

And the cathedral was full, standing room only. With every person standing on their brokenness and celebrating the goodness and the glory of the Lord. And a mighty sound rose amongst the crowd and I could feel the foundations of hell shaking as they worshipped you.

And the you took me back. And then you took me back. Back to the empty place. Back to the place of brokenness.

And what did you see?

Upon the ground where I stood, I saw a giant crack forming all around me. As you elevated my perspective I saw I was standing in the place of great impact. Like a meteor hitting the ground I could see the cracks all around. Each crack like a root spreading out all across the ground, all around across the ground. Spreading out as far as the eye could see.

And then what did I show you?

And you took me to the edge of all that lay before me. And I was surprised by what I saw. It was an eyelid for I could see the eye lashes.

For it is all about the optics.

For you showed me the broken pieces, the cracks and it looked like the inside of an eye.

For under the surface it looks like a mess, but the spreading out gives insight, gives foresight.

For under the hard surface is a softness.

For I am bringing out that which is soft, and removing that which is hard.

For you shall walk on the path that is broken.

For you shall walk on the path of breakthrough.

For I will smooth the rough edges.

For it shall appear to be broken, but it shall be a path of mosaics, the path of many pieces forming beautiful patterns of glory.

For what looks like it should not go together will fit together in ways you do not expect.

For it shall be eye opening. For I will open their eyes.

New perspectives, new patterns, unexpected stability from all that is broken.

For I shall give you the means to make progress on the dangerous heights of testing and trouble.

For I will show you the way. For I will make a way upon the rubble and upon that which appears to be the vestiges of that which was once whole.

Show me the way Lord, give us great impact, give us alignment, align each piece for your glory.
