A Timely Word

In light of Tuesday's summit on Israel, God led me to this passage, some parts of which blew me away (I have put those verses in bold).

1 Kings 5

Solomon Prepares to Build the Temple

1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, because he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always loved David. 2 Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:

3 You know how my father David could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were fought against him on every side, until the LORD put his foes under the soles of his feet.

4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence.

5 And behold, I propose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to my father David, saying, “Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for My name.”

6 Now therefore, command that they cut down cedars for me from Lebanon; and my servants will be with your servants, and I will pay you wages for your servants according to whatever you say. For you know there is none among us who has skill to cut timber like the Sidonians.
7 So it was, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly and said,

Blessed be the LORD this day, for He has given David a wise son over this great people!

8 Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying:

I have considered the message which you sent me, and I will do all you desire concerning the cedar and cypress logs.

9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; I will float them in rafts by sea to the place you indicate to me, and will have them broken apart there; then you can take them away. And you shall fulfill my desire by giving food for my household.
10 Then Hiram gave Solomon cedar and cypress logs according to all his desire. 11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty
kors of pressed oil. Thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.

12 So the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.

13 Then King Solomon raised up a labor force out of all Israel; and the labor force was thirty thousand men. 14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts: they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home; Adoniram was in charge of the labor force. 15 Solomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens, and eighty thousand who quarried stone in the mountains, 16 besides three thousand three hundred from the chiefs of Solomon’s deputies, who supervised the people who labored in the work. 17 And the king commanded them to quarry large stones, costly stones, and hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the temple. 18 So Solomon’s builders, Hiram’s builders, and the Gebalites quarried them; and they prepared timber and stones to build the temple.

Flowing in the current

Another day and night in the Glory. It's 4:27 AM, and I want to go to sleep so I can wake up in time for church, but I am buzzzzzzzzing! I dunno, maybe I will lay out my clothes now, take my shower, and then try to catch 40 winks.

Another incredible series of experiences today and tonight with God. I can't even begin to describe all of it, or maybe even any of it, at least not right now. I was in the Glory the entire day, but under different manifestations. I had a lot of energy, laughter, happiness. At times lightness, where I felt like a feather, weightlessly flitting around, and at other times the heavy Glory came upon me and I couldn't budge. I felt very electrically charged all day, and God was running an internal defrag program on me. I was accelerated. I did everything fast. Everything was easy. All the things that used to be hard. And in the same degree. The things that used to be so hard for me were now as easy as they had previously been difficult. Everything flows and moves so freely in me. It's hard to even explain, because I am still in that place of not being ready to translate these experiences into concepts that other people can readily understand. Right now I feel like I'm talking to myself and to God, and that He is talking to me, and we both understand what is happening, but that it's hard for me to put it into explanations that may make broader sense. Perhaps, to some extent, this is a solitary experience with Him, although I think that later on, the things I learn now will be shared with others.

Well, although I'd love to stay here and ponder and write about this more, time is passing, and I better either get to sleep for a bit, or shower and then snooze for a few. I am not gonna miss church! Plus I invited someone to church tomorrow, so I have to be there for them too, in case they show up.

Ok, have a blessed Sabbath all, will catch you later.

Stealth Mode

The night before last's visitation went from about 11 PM to 8 AM, then I slept finally, from 8 AM till 4 PM.

So, it's 4:46 AM now, and I'm still awake, since I woke up so late in the afternoon. I am going to go lie down soon, and sleep soon after that.

Right now, He's still here. The weight is in my feet at the moment, and it feels good, it's buzzing and heavy, and it's way better than a massage delivered by human hands. Hee hee.

Today the glory was on me, but more dispersed throughout the day and not disabling. Haa...God has such a sense of humor, just as I wrote that, He started to weight my head down, and make me have to lean forward and type, cos I can't look up at the screen. He's so sneaky, I love it. If I say I'm not falling down and crumbling under the weight of His glory, He hears me and goes: "Oh yea?" then sends a wave of Glory on me, then this happens, and He laughs as I collapse. I'm smiling and laughing myself, cos He sooo got me. Again! Haaah!

OK, I guess I'm outta here again, cos I can't do anything but flop over like a rag doll and smile and laugh...oh Lord, you got me good this time. But don't you always. You're the most fun, God.
I love you. I'm beaming at you in wonder, and I'm charmed by your surprises. You keep me guessing, you keep me on my toes. I'm awake and alert in my spirit because of you. Thank You Jesus, thank You Holy Spirit, thank You Abba.

OK, see ya in the bedroom, last one under the covers is a rotten egg! tee hee...er, whoops, that'll probably be me, as I'm a lot slower than you God & now I'm made outta lead too, I don't stand a chance, do I? hah, guess not. Oh well, it doesn't matter, cos I'm still so happy. I'm gonna drink some hot chocolate and come in and snuggle with you.

Whomped!

another 24 hours or so, and i am still here -- under da sea, under da sea...

last night: heavy visitation from 1:11 AM to 7:11 AM i will have to write the details of that later, as i am being taken over NOW!!! ten tons has just fallen on me i'm in a cloud and a mantle has fallen upon me, it feels like it's made of soft lead, like one of those x-ray shields they drape over you at the dentist, except this weighs more. It's on my back, neck, shoulders and head, and feels like 10 of those capes piled on me all at once...stacked so high, so heavy, that i just have to fall down

i wish there was someone i could ask about all that is happening to me, the weight on the back of my neck is so strong that it's actually painful, my shoulders, my back, all pressed down so heavy, i'm bowled over, i can't hold up my head...floor bound now...no choice...

i am under the control of the Holy Spirit

Love is His only law

Ambushed!

I am still in visitation. God only let me out from under it long enough to have lunch with my friend, go shopping, and come back to my place and watch a movie with her. The minutes she walked out the door, the Spirit Fell on me again. *Zap*! I feel like I am typing this with weights on my arms. (Does this burn calories I wonder?) Haa haa. I think it might. I am sad to say I won't be able to share much while this visitation is happening, because it is far too difficult to type for long. I am going to take notes during all these days and nights and share any and everything I feel may be worthy, with you when I touch down (Will I ever touch down Lord? Do I ever want to?) Strange and wonderful things have been happening. Things too marvelous for me. I can only bow my head to the ground. His goodness is overwhelming. His presence is so powerful. He is imparting secrets to me. Connecting dots I never even saw before -- not the dots themselves, let alone the way they link up.

There was a glory cloud in my room last night -- in all the colors of His royalty: Purple, Magenta, Violet, Royal Blue, then giving way Bright Blinding Shining Whiter than White, Lumenscent. I saw Jesus on the throne, bright white, all light. Beaming. White hot flame. Then the flame of orange and red on my wall from the Holy Spirit. I could see none of these with my natural eyes, God told me to look at something through my cell's camera, and take a picture, and I got pictures of things I couldn't see directly. Maybe they would have been too much for me to see directly. Only He knows. I am astounded by the things He can do.

I am astounded and confounded, and upside down, and happy like a child. I got hugged by him, rocked to sleep in his arms. Surrounding me, suffusing me till there was nothing left but Him, and me -- a little baby, being rocked to sleep in his arms, and He smiled over me, and I smiled so hard and wide that my little shining face rang like a silver bell. He was my proud papa, delighted with me completely, and me, looking up at him, could only see, only feel, love, love, love. I asked him why he loved me so, why he smiled over me so as he held me...and he said "just because you're my girl" -- then he played me the song "My Girl" by The Temptations, and I giggled and laughed like a tickled child. My poppa laughed with me. I was tiny, so safe and small, snuggled up and completely free!

Then tonight: I knew he'd been waiting to pounce on me as soon as I was alone with Him, cos all day I had tremors and His energy running up and down inside me, and on my skin. He'd been waiting impatiently, jealously, for every moment I'd been away. And then in one moment, as I turned around at the top of my stairs, a sneak surprise attack, and *WHOOMP*!!! here I am under again. Diver down. Deep deep under. I have no choice. He's holding me captive! Help, I've been kidnapped by the Holy Spirit! Hee hee. And there is no ransom He will exchange me for. He wants ME, ME, ME, and nothing more.

I am captured & enthralled.

I have to go now, He is pulling me away from the desk, He wants me to come sing & dance with Him & I cannot keep Him waiting a moment longer.

The Presence of His Glory

Here anything is possible!

His Presence unlocks everything.

His Glory is a gorgeous weight upon my life.

i can barely type this right now, i am being pulled to the floor, HIS HEAVY GLORY!!!

i welcome you in with me, all who read these words, enter into His presence, and may His Glory fall twice as heavily upon you as it is on me right now.

Pull 'em off their seats Lord! Make 'em slide to the floor God!

Let these words written under Your Glory carry the tangible weight of Your Presence, so that the reading of these words will knock people out in the spirit, and set 'em under a glory cloud thicker and heavier than they have ever experienced before in their life!

i proclaim with Thanksgiving that this is the heaviest Glory i have ever been under in my life, for it is YOU who demanded i create this blog, and i am here only to carry Your Presence to the people after i spend time with you deep in your presence for hours and hours; let me bring the Glory back down from Your Holy Mountain and give it to people like the bread of life, and the living waters. The bread of Your presence shall feed them all till they hunger no more, the river of Your Spirit shall quench their parched tongues till they thirst no more! Let it be so, in the name of Your Son Jesus, Glory to You Lord, Oh how I Love Your Presence!!!

i am, humbly, Your scribe: i will live to hear the words You say & to write the words I hear.
