There is a lifting up.

They have come to cut down the trees for….

Your habitation is too small!

MAKE ROOM

I’m making room, room for you, room to expand, room to breathe, breathing space, the space for breathing, the place where you can breathe, the place where you can feel my breath.

For I speak fullness, there is fullness in the air, there is fullness here.

2 Kings 6:1-4 THE SONS of the prophets said to Elisha, Look now, the place where we live before you is too small for us. Let us go to the Jordan, and each man get there a house beam; and let us make us a place there where we may dwell. And he answered, Go. One said, Be pleased to go with your servants. He answered, I will go. So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.

The place where you live is too small for you.

For what I have for you is much larger.

For how does the large fit in the small place?

You have seen this before.

A great clearing, a vast clearing, the clearing of the decks, the preparing of the ground. The destruction of the old, the preparation of the new.

For yours is the place of multitudes, not the one but the many.

The place of community, not the place of the one.

I’m clearing out the old, to make way for the new.

New beginnings, new patterns, new peace, new joy, new tools, new lightness, new light, a beacon, a fountain, a banquet, a feast, a party, a relaunch, a launching out into the deep, into the place of multitude.

Why so surprised at the multitude, for I know the end from the beginning, why don’t we start at the end?

Multiplied x multiples = Multitude.

For the single shall be become many, the blessing multiplied.

For there shall be an exchange, the giving of that which is light for that which is heavy. For I shall do the lifting of the heavy, the heavy lifting.

2 Kings 6:5-7 But as one was felling his beam, the axhead fell into the water; and he cried, Alas, my master, for it was borrowed! The man of God said, Where did it fall? When shown the place, Elisha cut off a stick and threw it in there, and the iron floated. He said, Pick it up. And he put out his hand and took it.

You feel the pressure, the pressing down, the pressure rising, the uprising, the rising up, the bursting forth.

It is just me breaking open a way, clearing the path, my hand upon the clearing.

Did you not feel the calm, did you not feel my presence, did you not participate in the lifting up?

For I have given you the power to lift up.

Job 22:21-30 Acquaint now yourself with Him agree with God and show yourself to be conformed to His will and be at peace; by that you shall prosper and great good shall come to you. Receive, I pray you, the law and instruction from His mouth and lay up His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty and submit and humble yourself before Him, you will be built up; if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents, If you lay gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brook considering them of little worth, And make the Almighty your gold and the Lord your precious silver treasure, Then you will have delight in the Almighty, and you will lift up your face to God. You will make your prayer to Him, and He will hear you, and you will pay your vows. You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light of God’s favor shall shine upon your ways. When they make you low, you will say, There is a lifting up; and the humble person He lifts up and saves. He will even deliver the one for whom you intercede who is not innocent; yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.

Repeat after me “there is a lifting up”

That which has fallen, will be lifted up, that which has been down trodden shall be lifted up.

For the reject shall become the cornerstone, the foundation of all that I am building.

For the time has come and is here now, the great uplifting, the rising up, the raising of the burden, the time of ease, the time of lightening the time of the lifting up.

For I am lifting you up, I am holding you up, arise my son, come up higher, repeat after me “there is a lifting up”.
