Many of you know I have been on the
road for the past month at various youth camps. I have survived three weeks of
camp with teenagers. Praise God for grace! I will not share most of what
happened in the time with all of the kids, because quite frankly many of you
would not want to read such a transcription. All I can say is that I have a
greater purpose to live, a greater vision, and I know that time is precious
since I will never get it back. There was one experience I had in Kansas City
in the IHOP (International House of Prayer) prayer room. It was an experience
of great magnitude. It was an experience I will never forget, and I have since
longed to experience it daily. There was not only an intense tangible
experience with God, but great vision was revealed as well.
The
following is what I wrote down that could hardly describe what I experienced or
saw. It was a moment where His presence is so manifest that you can feel Him
pumping through your very veins. It was as if the glory of God was flowing
through the entire inside of my body. It was like a manifest liquid love being
joined with my natural blood. I believe that this moment was a true covenant
moment. It was a moment where you could feel Him in you. It was a moment where
you could feel the very DNA of God Eternal coursing through your body. I felt
so humble yet empowered all at the same time. All of my senses were heightened in
this moment. I could hear Him more clearly, feel Him more tangibly, and smell
His very fragrance. It was a moment where you are so lost in focus on Him that
you actually feel yourself becoming Him and He you. It was a moment where you
have His presence pulsating in you and outside of you. I felt as if my body was
going to explode under the weight of His presence. My body felt as if it were
pulsating or breathing itself, and not just me breathing through my lungs. It
seems as though each exterior limb had its own heartbeat. I could feel God
inside and out. These moments are attained by extreme focus, extreme desire,
and extreme longing to be with Him. He is always focused on us with His eyes of
fire in this way, and He is waiting for us to have His focus. I am not speaking
of a meditation of the likes of Yoga and Buddhism. I am talking about a focus on the only True
Living God. I am speaking of a focus on the Man who is sitting at the Right
Hand of God. I am speaking of a focus on
the God who shines like a jasper and sardius stone, and has an emerald rainbow
around Him. We are to meditate on the Word not on our spirit, but the Holy
Spirit. This new age stuff is absolute garbage compared to the true meditation
on the King of Kings. This experience to feel Him coursing through your veins
is for everyone, not just for me. God is not respecter of persons (1 Peter
1:17). This was one of the most addicting and transcendent experiences I
have ever had in my life. This all happened in a prayer room with a few hundred
people. I seemed to hit a focus beyond my understanding. Tears were continually
pouring down my face with the feeling of His love consuming me. He tenderized
and empowered my heart all in the same encounter. He told me this is your
inheritance. To feel His DNA coursing through my veins was such an intense
reality. All I could say after this experience was I want more repeatedly over
and over again. I think He gave me a taste to push me in deeper. God tends to
do that sort of thing. It is not as if He is teasing us, but it is to bring us
to a place closer to Him. He uses experiences like this to entice us to Him in
the secret place. He is worth it all.
His
love was so intensely thick. I could breathe His very breath. I could feel His
blood pumping throughout my entire body. I just rested in Him, eyes closed,
hands open, one focus, and I found Him (Matthew 7:7). My head was lying on the
very chest of my beloved (John 13:23). His heartbeat was so audibly saying, “I
love you and my desire is to be with you.” He told me that He had commissioned me
to go. He is sending me and that all I have to do is meet Him in the secret
place. It was a very residual presence I felt that night. I can, in fact, feel
the very presence of God as I type this. He kept saying I am looking at you. I
could feel His burning desire for me. I was so hot I began to sweat. It was as
if the very fire from the altar of God had come down from heaven and rested
upon me. He said He longed for me more deeply than a man longs for a wife. He
said that the internal burning that I have in my heart is more magnified in His
heart. What love He has for those who seek Him. Those that are hungry command
His presence. To have revelation of this love is an amazing thing. We must
understand that this experience I had is not just a one-time deal. This is
something that we should be experiencing all the time. We just need to tap into
the revelation of who He is.
I
just pray that those who read this get an experience greater than the one that
I had. Lord I pray that you give a breakthrough for their hearts. That you
impart in them a sense of intimacy so that they are filled with Your love, so
that they can return that love to you. I pray that you give them a Spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Enlighten the eyes of their
understanding so that they will know the inheritance that they have in You.
Lord give them a breakthrough for their minds, so that Your thoughts become
their thoughts. Give to them wisdom and direction. Let them hear Your voice
clearly so that they can obey You promptly. Lord give them the revelation that
Your DNA courses through their very veins. I bless You Lord, and give You all
the glory and honor. I want to thank You Lord for giving me such an experience
with You. You are worth it all, and I would give up so much more just to be
with You a bit more closely. You are my desire to live.
