Lifted Up

Lifted up

“Well that was unexpected”, I hear the words forming before you are able to perceive them.

Did you not wonder?

Did you not pause in wonder?

Startled by the wonder of it all.

Caught by surprise.

Yet your reaction was not unexpected.

My thoughts are not your thoughts, yet my desire is for you.

I know what you are thinking.

I know what it is you are wondering about.

For you love to rest your hand upon her.

You love to hold her close.

Yet it was so different this time.

Captured by wonder, startled by the wonder of it all.

The woman of your dreams, in a moment, in an instant, in one of my dreams.

You wanted to step back, to take your hand away, to withdraw your hand.

But try as you might, you couldn’t.

And the more you tried, the more stuck you became. It was so funny to watch.

You wrestled so much with yourself. Within and without. For that which was without, was now possessed within.

For you were compelled to come in.

Drawn in, held in, unable to exit.

Yet is this not what you asked for?

Did you not ask me to show you something for her, to reveal my intentions for her, to show you something, to reveal myself to you about her?

For I know how this makes you feel.

Awake my soul and sing.

Awake my soul and sing.

Awake my soul and sing.

Repeat after me, awake my soul and sing.

For are you not awake now!

Sorry to have woken you up.

For try as you might to restrain yourself, to hold yourself back, to hide yourself, to cover yourself, you cannot put out the fire I have placed within.

For here you sit, in the place of agitation.

In an agitated state. For you cannot be still.

For I am disturbing that which disturbs you.

Unmoved by the raging torrent, be unmoved by that which rages against.

For how disturbing to that which disturbs you to be so immovable.

Yet that which I showed you was so impacting you could not sleep.

For you don’t know who to describe it, or even where to start, here let me help you.

An explosion, an eruption of unity. At the centre of it all the huge atmospheric, climatic impact of the power of unity.

The intense contrast between the light surrounding you both, and the darkness all around.

Bounded by light, powered by light, unspeakable light, blinding light, an explosion of light. The more pressure the greater the light, the brighter the light, the more powerful the light.

From afar, a beacon of light.

Up close a shelter from the storm, a momentous moment of great momentum, of immense strength.

You could see the immense strength I have given you both, impenetrable strength, unyielding strength.

A great all pervasive calm invading the space between, inviting you both to come closer.

The powerful invasion of peace.

Then in a moment immense release.

The breaking of the chain.

The breaking of the chains.

The breaking of the breakthrough, the breakthrough breaking out, the release multiplying release.

Don’t fly off the handle, just hold on to that which binds you.

Take a hold of that which binds you.

For I have given you all power and authority to release.

Just watch what I am about to do.

For this chain has many captives.

That which bound you up shall bring freedom for many.

The chain shall be used to whip your enemy into submission.

The ripple of the breaking of the chains shall resound across the land.

The elevation of the captive, the lifting up of the captive, the leaping of the captive.

The twain lead away captive, led to the place of freedom.

Now what is it you see?

The two of us staking a claim, driving the pole into the ground with all our might. Then looking up to see a huge dust storm rising against us, coming closer and closer. Then in a moment an invisible barrier formed around us, and nothing could enter beyond the barrier.

The stake in the ground creates a storm, but don’t hold back, for I have held it back.

The turbulence shall be short lived.

For I have established a shelter and a barrier to the wind that rages against you.

For my hand is upon her.

Look again what is it you see?

Medals forming upon her shoulder.

New coats of protection.

The coming together. New unity. Tremendous strength in unity.

Promotion is coming for her.

Be and hold, for behold the new is coming.

Hold fast to that which is true, for I am coming soon.

Psalms 18:28-40 For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; the Lord my God illumines my darkness. For by You I can run through a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect! The word of the Lord is tested and tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge and put their trust in Him. For who is God except the Lord? Or who is the Rock save our God, The God who girds me with strength and makes my way perfect? He makes my feet like hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly or make progress on the dangerous heights of testing and trouble]; He sets me securely upon my high places. He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, and Your right hand has held me up; Your gentleness and condescension have made me great. You have given plenty of room for my steps under me, that my feet would not slip. I pursued my enemies and overtook them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed. I smote them so that they were not able to rise; they fell wounded under my feet. For You have girded me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me and caused to bow down those who rose up against me. You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
