Would the Revelatory Prostitutes Please.. Please .. Please sit down..


Would the revelatory prostitutes please sit down... Your actions and words betray the very essence of the heart beat of God

Ok I know that that is quite the opening statement... But the more I enter into this season and actually have my eyes opened wider my heart gains understanding I wish I had always walked in and ache to walk in all the more...

In these moments where kindness has exploded into the atmosphere and strength and joy gets imparted, my eyes are laid open to where in life I have both participated in and watched as people take that which they see and feel and know and exploit it for their own benefit... for their own building up instead of the building up of The Body and humanity.... The lifting up of a name of man instead of Christ....

As one who works with ministry as a livelihood I stepped back and took account of what it is we are doing and where it is that we are going and what is necessary and what would be the tables that Christ would come and knock down and cleanse...

I thought of the most intimate moments between my husband and I and how I don't go around broadcasting the details of such times to anyone who will listen however how many times do I/we take the experiences and visions and moments with the Lord and handle them carelessly instead of cherishing them as precious between the lover of my soul and myself....

As I processed these emotions this afternoon I began to separate out truth from falsehood.

There are places where in the sharing of such moments what is being expressed is the reality of the Kingdom of God and that these moments do indeed take place and are indeed precious. That in sharing when the Heavens are open and whether here or there sweet and beautiful transactions in the spirit do occur people's faith is built up and the hungry are fed and understanding comes forth.

However we all know the difference between those times and the times where we want to look good.. or we want to be the one that has the most profound revelation of the hour.. or and the list can go on and on... how absurd these thoughts and these behaviors...because the truth is we always carry the most profound revelation within ourselves and when we walk there and allow the realities of who it is that we most intrinsically are to flow forth everything changes.....

In these last few years the prophetic or revelatory lifestyle has changed for me.... The understanding of why we see and hear and feel and know has become all consuming... If the testimony of prophecy is Jesus and that which Jesus said about Himself was that He came not to condemn the world but to bring salvation and to birth within creation the understanding of the passion of our Father for us then anything we would ever walk in must meet that criteria.

Spiritual experiences and supernatural occurrences are reality... they are fire... and they will either mess with someone and burn them for life or they will ignite both the participate and the observer into life within the explosive reality of sonship and daughterhood. It is love.. it is kindness... it is generosity of action and behavior that must be always left as the most fantastical aspect to any sharing of experience or activity... If it misses that mark you are squandering your Father's wealth and prostituting the gifts He laid out for you....

Why see? Why hear? Why know? Why feel? It is so that the Kingdom of God is expressed in tangible and powerful ways... the litmus test must be the fruit.... has kindness so infected the atmosphere... has love so penetrated the hardest of soil.. do the hearers leave knowing that they are the sons and daughters of God or do they leave thinking that the speaker is and where do they lack? If that second is the case... it is not the failure of the people but the failure of the one who ministers.....

This season is for the building up of the Body so that all can mature into the headship of Christ and it is upon the sons and daughters of God in this time to grab a hold of the reality that the Body is made up of many parts and all are necessary.. not one more than the other....

Beautifully, and lovingly put. I confess I have operated in the "need to be affirmed" mode of the revelatory in my past, but hopefully never again. As the time draws to a close there is all the more reason to stop trying to get each other's attention and only want and linger in His.
