Across all the podcasts, all the sermons, in the devotionals, every where I seem to turn – I’m hearing that “God is on the move.” And my Spirit longs for it. I hear it, and it speaks truth to my soul. That I agree – God is on the move. He is doing a new thing. Revival is on the tip of every tongue.

And, I hear in this crying out, this proclamation, that it’s like never before. It’s the crying of God to our flesh. “Hear me.” “Listen.”

That He is speaking to each and everyone of us – in our own ways. That He is downloading into our Spirit what we’re supposed to be hearing. That He’s moving each and everyone of us, in His way, to bring it all together. To bring the fire and the love for God.

That we are bringing our cares and our burdens to Him, and He is lightening our load, and making way for a new thing. That His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. That we need just follow it. To accept it and obey. That He is really fortifying and building these, oh so personal, relationships with Him together. That our souls, and the earth, is crying out for Our Creator. He is whispering back – “Hear me, I’ve got you.” That all He wants is this relationship to dig deeper, to be stronger, to be so evident that no one can miss it.

That He’s leading us to be His light. His light to bring in others. That He’s calling – “Come follow me.” That our walk and our faith should be so wound tightly with Him that no one can miss it. That people are asking – What have you got, that I don’t have?

The Answer: Jesus.

There are these new commercials out, talking about Jesus having anxiety, Jesus wanting fellowship, Jesus being human, and it ends with “He gets us.” And, every time I see these commercials, tears well up in my eyes – because He does. He does get us. God sent the Son of Man, to come to earth, to live out the human life, and become the ultimate sacrifice, not just to perform his will and fulfill the prophesies – but to show us – that HE GETS US! He is our Creator.

He put all these feelings and emotions and logic inside of us, in His own image. He gets us.
He gave us an instruction manual, The Bible, to help us, every step of the way, with real knowledge and understanding of what to do in all our situations.
His Word – was with Him in the beginning and it will never pass away.

I had this deep stirring this morning as I listened to His Word.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

John 1:1

It felt like – this other part of God – that I had missed.

God, Jesus, Holy Ghost… and the Word. The Word was God. As we have received the Holy Ghost, and He is working within us – we are to get into His Word. And His Word – is made true within Us. That we have hidden His Word in our heart. That we meditate on His Word, and it will guard our hearts and minds. That there is this deep connection between the Word and hearing the Word and the connection it is making with the Holy Ghost within us – that is bringing all together.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:  The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin  for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (emphasis mine)

He has given us this direct insight into Him. The Almighty.

No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

John 15:15

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

1 Corinthians 2:12-13

That we are to be using the Word to grow our Spirit man. And, I mean I’ve known this aspect all along – but this deep revelation – that the Word is God, just occurred today. That I don’t even know how many times I’ve read the verse, but today – the Word dropped in and spoke a new thing into me. The Word Is God. That it shall never pass away. That our Spirit is crying out to us, to read the Bible and get into the Word – because it’s God connecting with Himself – through us. That as we read – the things of God will be revealed. That as we’re in the Word (in God) that the Holy Spirit living in us – connects and uses our brain to understand in our knower what God is trying to say.

As one of my favorite pastors likes to say, “You know, in your knower.” Which is when that connection occurs – the Word and the Spirit agree.

But the manifestation of the Sprit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:7-8

Hear Him. Listen. Get into His Word and let Him speak directly to you. Pull in closer. Follow. Let the shepard guide you. That you may flourish and do well.

Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this day. Thank you for your Word. Your Word in season, your Word stirring within us. Lord, bless us that we may open our eyes to a New Thing.
