God’s Presence

Still Small Voice

Hidden by God

Come to Me, cry out to Me. I will deliver you from all your troubles. Look away from all that steals your joy and turn to Me, sweet child. Look to Me for all the answers your heart is searching for. I will provide all the assurance you need. Stay close to Me. Stay hidden under My wing. You will know My goodness because you have been faithful to Me. I will recompense your troubled days. You have pursued Me above all else and I have covered you from the distracting lies going forth like arrows. I have been your hiding place. You’ve come to the secret place of My presence. Never leave My side.

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. —1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭34‬, NKJV‬‬

Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives to all who turn to hide themselves in him. —Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8,‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Let your faith be like a shield, and you will be able to stop all the flaming arrows of the evil one. —Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬, CEV‬‬

Ven a Mí, clama a Mí. Yo te libraré de todos tus problemas. Aparta la mirada de todo lo que te roba la alegría y vuélvete hacia Mí, dulce niña. Búscame para todas las respuestas que tu corazón está buscando. Te daré toda la seguridad que necesitas. Quedate cerca de mi. Mantente escondida bajo Mi ala. Conocerás Mi bondad porque Me has sido fiel. Recompensaré tus días turbulentos. Me has perseguido por encima de todo y te he cubierto de las mentiras que te distraen y que salen como flechas. He sido tu escondite. Has venido al lugar secreto de Mi presencia. Nunca te apartes de Mi lado.

¡Oh, den gracias al Señor, porque él es bueno! Porque su misericordia es para siempre. —1 Crónicas 16:34, NVI

Bebed profundamente de los placeres de este Dios. Experimenta por ti mismo las gozosas misericordias que él da a todos los que se esconden en él. —Salmos 34:8, TPT

Que vuestra fe sea como un escudo, y podréis detener todas las flechas de fuego del maligno. —Efesios 6:16, NVI

Burn Brightly

Push back the darkness with the light of My presence. You are the light that I have called out of darkness. You have given your heart to Me and we are one. I am now calling you back into the darkness to shine My light for others caught in its grip. Lead them out, My chosen ones. This is the hour you have been prepared for. You know the desperation of the dark places. You have endured the pain, the loneliness, and the betrayal to sympathize with all who need a way out. You are a light. You are called to lead the way out of this present darkness. You have stayed faithful and kept your lamp burning with the oil of intimacy. Advance in victory.

Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time he said, “I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won't be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life.” –John‬ ‭8‬:‭12,‬ ‭CEV‬‬

For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. –Ephesians 6:12, RSV

Be ready and keep your lamps burning. –Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭35,‬ ‭CEV‬

Haz retroceder la oscuridad con la luz de Mi presencia. Tú eres la luz que he llamado de las tinieblas. Me has entregado tu corazón y somos uno. Ahora los estoy llamando a regresar a la oscuridad para hacer brillar Mi luz para otros atrapados en sus garras. Sacalos fuera, Mis elegidos. Esta es la hora para la que has estado preparado. Conoces la desesperación de los lugares oscuros. Has soportado el dolor, la soledad y la traición para simpatizar con todos los que necesitan una salida. Eres una luz. Estás llamado a liderar el camino para salir de esta oscuridad presente. Te has mantenido fiel y has mantenido encendida tu lámpara con el aceite de la intimidad. Avance en la victoria.

Una vez más Jesús habló al pueblo. Esta vez dijo: “¡Yo soy la luz del mundo! Sígueme y no caminarás en la oscuridad. Tendrás la luz que da vida”. –Juan 8:12, NVI

Porque no luchamos contra sangre y carne, sino contra principados, contra potestades, contra los gobernantes del mundo de las tinieblas presentes, contra las huestes espirituales de maldad en las regiones celestes. –Efesios 6:12, NVI

Prepárense y mantengan encendidas sus lámparas. –Lucas 12:35, NVI

Devotional

Deep is the Mystery of Intimacy

There is an endless cacophony of noise and voices entering our minds and hearts on a daily basis influencing us. Much of that is out of our control. But what if we deliberately chose to sit and hear from God himself.

My spirit has been yearning to enter into an even deeper intimacy with Jesus. I want to hear more of what His Spirit wants to share. But I know I’ll need to do some specific things for our relationship to flourish. It’s going to take time, focus and surrender. And I know I will have to sacrifice some things but what I expect to get in return will be worth the sacrifice.

When our spirit is silent and expectant our hearts are shaken to life. Sometimes I stretch forth my physical hands and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I get on my knees and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I pace around the room and sometimes I just stand still. It’s more a posture of the heart that God notices. He’s looking for someone that’s humbled in His presence, ready to listen and receive rather than quick to speak.

This intimacy is still such a mystery to me. And I believe it’s hard for some because it requires us to let go and trust.

But I truly believe the Spirit of God wants to whisper secrets from the heart of Jesus. On New Year’s Eve I received a gentle whisper that had my heart fluttering and my imagination dancing. It gave me a sneak peek of what we can expect from a deeper relationship with Jesus.

A Midnight Whisper from the Spirit

Wedding bells are ringing, wooing the bride of Christ.

At the midnight hour her heart is being prepared.

She will meet Him at dawn to begin a divine romance.

He will sweep her off her feet into the heavenlies.

Her first dance of true love with the Father will have the angels in awe.

The Son will then take His bride and show her His mansions.

Each day they will discover a hidden treasure together.

They will open new doors together;

enter into deeper rooms of revelations.

His heart will unlock rooms holding mysteries so deep,

her breath will be taken away.

There will be a library of books filled with words of love for His bride.

They will eat fruit baskets of grace and truth.

And He will take her to the throne room of mercy – a room of never-ending love and intimacy.

These are a couple of books I recommend that aided my intimacy journey with Jesus:
