Occasion

Occasion

What’s the occasion?

On occasion.

Upon occasion.

Not occasionally.

Not by accident.

Not by happenstance.

Not a coincidence.

Not by chance.

Not one moment.

But a monument.

Not a moment, and momentous monument.

Not a strange moment, not a moment of weirdness.

A huge outpouring.

Bowling over your enemy.

Hurdling towards him, taking him off his feet.

A moment – I am breaking through.

No time to react, caught off guard, caught by surprise.

2 Samuel 5:19-20 David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver [them] into your hand. And David came to Baal-perazim, and he smote them there, and said, The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like the bursting out of great waters. So he called the name of that place Baal-perazim [Lord of breaking through].

For this is the time of occasion.

For what you feel is a sense of occasion.

A building.

A building.

A building.

A building.

A building.

Did you get that A BUILDING!

A building.

Did you feel that TREMOR!

Did you get the sense of it.

Did you get the scale of it.

For it rises within you.

From within to without.

For that which is within shall be out.

That which was held back, now bursts forth.

An uprising.

An out rising.

For I must be out!

COME OUT!

COME OUT!

BE OUT!

Release all that I have put within you!

Rivers.

Gushes.

Torrents.

Streams.

A bursting forth, a rushing, a giant rush.

For my hand is upon your hand.

Your hand and my hand are one.

Lift up your hand.

For your hand trembles at my power.

Your hand trembles with my power.

POWERFUL.

Be full of it.

YES BE FULL OF IT.

OVERFLOW with it.

For it drips from you.

The fall off, the drop shall have great impact.

Without warning.

Without explanation.

It falls from your hand.

It drips from your hand.

From whence did it come.

Shock and awe.

SHOCK AND AWE!

For you shall here them say “that was a shocking experience, like nothing I have ever felt or seen or heard of before, NOTHING LIKE IT”

For the word has gone out.

For it bursts forth from your lips.

It bursts forth from your innermost being.

For you know whom you are walking with!

For it is I that walks with you.

What is it that you see before you, describe it for me, here let me help you…

I see you before me Lord, your hand upon mine, your presence all around, your glory radiating all around, piercing through the dryness, penetrating the darkness, pervading the atmosphere, power like nothing I have felt before. Weak at the knees, unable to walk, stopped in my tracks, barely able to stand, staggered before you!

Did I not say all will stagger in amazement at what I am going to do!

Stopped in their tracks unable to make progress without you.

Powerless without the power I am giving you.

For the time of intense darkness is at hand.

Yet my glory shines more and more brightly upon you.

Like a spotlight.

A spotlight for a special occasion.

A beacon showing my intent.

A lighthouse revealing the edge.

Revealing the edge.

Revealing the boundary.

The point of demarcation.

The place of the standing.

The place without standing, to the place of standing.

From the deep to the rocky place, to the high place, to the elevated place, to the solid ground, to the landmark.

Landmark.

For you shall be my landmark, my guidepost, my lantern, my light, my inextinguishable light, my powerful light that cuts through the darkness, that cannot be contained.

My power wed to my glory that is your story.

Powerful glory, brightly shining above all that is beneath.

For this is no ordinary occasion, or special occasion, or extraordinary occasion, this shall be your regular experience.

For in your hand I have placed my power.

Micah 2:12-13 I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely collect the remnant of Israel. I will bring them [Israel] together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture. They [the fold and the pasture] shall swarm with men and hum with much noise. The Breaker will go up before them. They will break through, pass in through the gate and go out through it, and their King will pass on before them, the Lord at their head.
