Taken

Here take this with you.

For I am giving you that which cannot be taken.

Here watch this.

Here take this.

Here hold on to this.

That which cannot be seen above.

That which cannot be felt above.

That which fills you above.

That which you breathe above.

Supports you beneath.

Causes you to rise.

Lifts you above.

Sink in.

Let me sink in.

For that which I have put in you shall cause you to rise.

For no one can take away that which I have given you.

Just receive that which I have given you.

Just open your mouth and receive my fullness.

Just say “ahhhhhh”

Be unconcerned. Be without concern. Abandon all concern. Express not your concern. Express my confidence.

For he began to sink.

For he began to sink.

He was thrown overboard.

For they saw him as a threat to their existence.

Jonah 1:12 And Jonah said to them, Take me up and cast me into the sea; so shall the sea become calm for you, for I know that it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you. Jonah 1:15-17 So they took up Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. Then the men reverently and worshipfully feared the Lord exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows. Now the Lord had prepared and appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 2:9-10 But as for me, I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation and deliverance belong to the Lord! And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

For a new direction was required.

A new means of transport was required.

Remember the organic transport.

For that which is unnatural, unexpected, unforeseen above, is natural, common and fully anticipated below.

Is this not my design. One designed to breath below and another designed to breathe above. One designed to inhabit the deep, one designed to stand on the land.

Yet have I not called you to be the master of the deep?

From the depths you cry out to me.

Yet from the depths shall come your deliverance.

Yet from the depths shall come my deliverer.

For they shall know from whence you came.

For you shall wear my clothes of deliverance. You shall smell of my deliverance. You shall speak my words of deliverance.

For that which you run from I am running to.

For I am taking you back.

For you shall take them back.

For you shall take back all that was taken.

Walk with me, talk with me, rest with me, be transported by me.

Jonah 3:4-10 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown! So the people of Nineveh believed in God and proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth in penitent mourning, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came to the king of Nineveh of all that had happened to Jonah, and his terrifying message from God, and he arose from his throne and he laid his robe aside, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he made proclamation and published through Nineveh, By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed nor drink water. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell, God may turn and revoke His sentence against us when we have met His terms, and turn away from His fierce anger so that we perish not. And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God revoked His sentence of evil that He had said that He would do to them and He did not do it for He was comforted and eased concerning them.
