The Rising

The Rising

Many called it the time of departure.

I called it the time of the rising.

Amidst all the darkness, I caused my light to shine.

I broke through the clouds of darkness and depression and shone through.

I veiled my approach in intense darkness, I wrapped myself in darkness, but at the appointed time, my light shone through.

Those sensitive to it, saw it, felt it, spoke about it, had to share it with you.

Indeed you rose above the darkness.

There you stood upon the elevated stage.

You we happy with any position, but they were all so overcome, that they asked you to be first, the first to speak, they gave you the opportunity to shift the atmosphere.

The warmth of my presence radiated from you as you stepped up to the platform.

You could feel the darkness shift, you could feel the uprising within your spirit.

You summed it up so well…

I think the only way to describe the usefulness of this small box of tissues is “woefully inadequate”!

You could feel the tangible sign of relief, the bursting forth from the darkness into light.

In that instant, in that moment you captured their attention, you refocused their attention…

It was just a simple illustration “Rise and shine”, yet so profound.

I had to respond, I had to break through the clouds of darkness and manifest my light.

Those in the know, just knew.

Wrapped up in darkness, I had to pull you out, I had to unwrap you.

I had to tell you what was happening because you could only endure.

She said “I could feel the warmth of your love, you spoke with such warmth, I felt the Lords presence as you spoke, it was glorious”. Her face beaming with the reflected glory, emanating such love and affection for you.

It was unexpected, yet despite all that you felt, all that was restrained and contained, my light shine through.

As everyone expressed themselves.

As everyone expressed themselves.

I think you missed that point…

I think you missed the impact of your own point.

As everyone expressed themselves.

In response to your call for them to express themselves.

I know you only wanted me to express myself!

So there you found yourself.

Pondering the descent.

Holding this cut flower, wondering what to do with it, wanting it all to be over, wondering what to say.

All you could say was “Love you Dad”

Yet as you wanted to run away, and turn away, and hide away, and just be away….

I would not let you go.

The one who possesses such strength, who possesses my spirit, took hold of you and would not let you go!

You felt the warmth of her presence, the comfort of my embrace, it was like you were standing there with your Mother, but it was your favourite Auntie.

You knew I had saved the best to last, as you could see in her hand the flower was still to be planted.

One by one they came before and deposited the seed. They sowed the seed.

Receiving what you had sown, and then sowing the seed as you had commanded.

In that moment I had to show you the impact.

I had to stir you up.

There you stood in the midst.

There you stood at the centre.

And what was it you saw?

A giant fissure breaking through the earth, and a great trembling across the land. My hand shaking more and more, it could not be stopped, and the more she held me, the more my hand shook. I new it was your doing, your handiwork, your hands at work.

Did I not say I would manifest your manifesto?

You can feel the shift now can’t you?

A breaking of the chains, the release of my power, the outpouring of my spirit.

New opportunities…

For it falls upon you.

You woke up different this morning.

For behold the old has gone, and the new has come.

For behold the winter has past and the springtime has come.

Arise and take up your position.

For I bequeath this gift to you.

Why do you act so surprised that all of your fathers followers are so drawn to you?

Why are you so surprised at the impact of your words? Were these not my words upon your lips?

Yet as you heard the voice of your sister, could you not just feel my presence!

Wow! Is this not the time of her rising too! Fan the flame, unwrap the gift.

And as you looked upon your brother you could see my face beaming with great delight.

For your heritage shall endure for all generations.
