Separation

Upon my bed at night I sought him
Whom my soul loves; I sought him, but found him not;
I called him, but he gave no answer.
I will rise now and go about the city,
In the streets and in the squares;
I will seek him whom my soul loves.
I sought him, but found him not.
The sentinels found me, as they went about in the city.
Have you seen him whom my soul loves?
Scarcely had I passed them,
When I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go
Until I brought him into my mother's house,
And into the chamber of her that conceived me.
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or the wild does:
Do not stir up or awaken love until it is ready!
(Song of Songs 3:1-5)



Because Of my selfish desire to keep him to myself it resulted in my beloved withholding the sensing of His presence.
I sought after Him upon my bed,taking my ease, hoping and praying He would return.
Then I decided to go out into the city and look for him.
I looked for Him in all the familiar places, bible studies, conventions, prayer meetings, He´s Here, and he´s there.
I followed them all, but could not find Him

I went to the watchmen; after all they were the intercessors.
They could pray for me and give me direction and lead me to whom my soul loves. Instead they were cruel to me.
They started accusing me, asking me what I did wrong.
How did I sin to turn Him away from me? I even inquired of the prophets for they heard from God!

When i went a little ways past them( my soul, emotions and senses) i found Him whom my soul Loves.
As I realized how one-side our relationship was, that i wanted Him all to myself , how I enjoyed the feelings and emotions of fellow shipping with Him
I realized the need for a deeper work in me to walk in the spirit and not in the flesh.

In my quest for knowing more about Him, I allowed my soul to dominate my spirit.
As faith rose up in me I saw clearly that He drew me, He Loved me before i even knew him, he bought me with a price i couldn't´t pay.
He robe of righteousness and covered my shame: took mercy on me in all my sin and ignorance and gave me to change,
to grow, to allow faith to raise in my heart to look into his face and see how I have grown.

A Lover of God

To Be a Lover of God is my greatest desire, that is what I'm pressing in for and longing to be, A Lover That Lives in his presence..to Love Him To adore Him For there is where my Greater Joy is, When I'm in his loving presence there is where i change to be like him, i don't need to struggle in my one power, I just worship him and stay in him to be loved by Him, and in all this all the fruit of the Spirit come fort in me and IN the greatest of intimacy i become One with HIM it's there my heart is becomes like His.
All I long for and what is to be with Him where he is.. there is where i Want to be.. where he Go.. i want to Go...if He stops I will stop... what he do I will do... for all i Want is to have my eyes fixed on Him. my Love is he, my heart Lover that i Love of all of me...
I have no more Joy in this world, for it make me unhappy, my Joy I have delighted in Him.. Oh Jesus... My Lover my trust I Have put in the..Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee, if My flesh and my heart failed: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
So it is good for me to draw near to God for I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works for ever and ever.

Work of Grace

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. Song of Solomon 8:7


No one ever cared for me like Jesus.You see my every fault, my weakness.

I have always felt inferior to others.

I look at my appearance, my personality and see all my flaws.

The time I have been passed over and others chosen, those who said they loved me and rejected me for someone else.

But Jesus, You saw me with all my faults and You took me with love and tenderness and mercy and grace and You began to draw me to Yourself wrapping me with a gauze like substance that brought comfort and consolation. every layer covering an open wound, soothing and healing the pain.

With each layer came a greater release, a surrender of every tight and knotted thing within me.

Pure love is a safe place to be real.

Each new layer brought a greater sense of security and peace, like lying on a comfortable bed and feeling your nerves and muscles relax and become one with it.

Like being cocooned with Him, called away and to Him.

Separated from all else into His presence that man of the flesh and soul was being absorbed into the wound on His side, so that I could become a spiritual being, a partaker of his divine nature, free to be like Him, like a butterfly, free to fly, beautiful, marked and colored by Him.

His creation so he can be glorified.Yes, free to fly away , but no desire to be separated.

Every awareness of beauty of those wings reminds me of His transformation in me.

Jesus´love letter to his bride

My Beloved Bride, the time is fast approaching When I will take My loved one to the wedding feast. Remain in My love, live in My Spirit, As in the last days Destructive and false prophets Will arise and increase greatly in number. And many sheep will be handed over to the wolves.Their love will grow cold and turn to hate.Lawlessness will increase, people will devour each other; They will persecute each other and betray My holy Bride. And then the ‘angel of “false” light’ will come saying he is the son of God. He shall perform many signs and wonders, as if he can lead My Bride astray, Disloyalty will force the world into his hands, He will perform abominable deeds, things which have never been done or heard of! And then the Creator of the world will come, With fiery trials to test faith. Many will be led astray, walking the road of destruction, because they did not receive the love of the truth.But those who hold steadfastly to the faith will be saved through Him on the Day of Judgement. There will be signs and wonders from the Lord Himself. The first sign: the heavens will open. The second sign: the sound of the trumpet. The wonder of the resurrection of the dead And the rapture of the living. And as foretold by the prophets Jesus will return and all the saints will be caught up with Him on the clouds, Then the world will know that I AM, that I was and that I AM the One to come.
He who sits on a white horse, the One who is Faithful and True, In righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes are like flames of fire, and on His head are many crowns. He has a name written that no one knows except Himself. And He has on his robe and on his thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

The Voice of the Bride‏

"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine."

Song of songs 1:2

Now I know what love is, Love is the touch of Your hand when I become frightened

Love is the warmth of Your embrace, When I´m Lonely

Love Is the Joy I feel whenever I know , You´re near

Love is the excitement that fills my soul,When You talk with me

Love is when You Hold me and I feel complete

Love is knowing You´ll always be there to pick me up

Love is knowing you´ll always be there and That You will never Leave me of forsake me

I have smelled Your fragrance, I have felt Your arms of Love here within

Your presence my heart quivers like a dove stir in me a passion strong than human desire, stir in me a passion a pure and all consuming fire

One Holy Passion one raging fire

one pure obsession is my desire, a single devotion a simple request,

One name above all names held close to my breast.

One song of all songs

One Bridegroom one Bride

One nature poured out from the wound in His side

One passion

One Fire, our love burns with a true desire.

OH How I Long to be near You, to touch You, yo smell you to Hear your voice.

For you are my true desire Jesus.

I long to feel the warmth of Your embrace,

I long to be able to see Your beautiful face, for You are my true desire,

No one knows me better than You

No one can touch my heart, the way that you do

For You are my true desire Jesus, just the presence of You...near... drowns out all of my fears.

When i lay my head down and when i wake, You are there.

You give me a love that I can not compare, for you are Love that ravishes my very heart.

You are a Love that will never die, for you are my true desire Jesus.

A Lovesick Anticipation

Many are covered with sin and shame. I Know I have done some stupid things in my life. I had some sin that I could not get rid of: It hung over me everywhere I went. Then one day its power was broken over my life. I confessed my sin, brought everything to the light and walked into the freedom.
But Shame still had a hold on me, the enemy was screaming in my ear and condemning me.
However, even when sin controlled my life, Jesus was leaning in, saying," I Want you". he knows everything about us, Nothing is surprise, nothing is a secret for Him.
He is fully aware of our inner Lives. And with that knowledge, the Son of man says," I want you." In that place, all he wants is our gaze.

In the same way He spoke to the Laodicean in the book of revelation, I believe Jesus is speaking to us today,I wish that you were either hot or cold" He yearns for us to grasp His affection and for that to fuel our affection as we pour it back upon Him. He is calling us back to our place in the vine where we are abiding in Him, a place of repentance because he wants our gaze and He will do anything to get it. Do you know why he is even willing to discipline you ? Because He Loves you, He will do whatever it takes to get your gaze.

Look at if from the Father´s perspective. He says, I want to present a bride to My Son who is completely in love with Him.
Oh, Church, you have no idea who this One is, but if you begin to touch the depths of this Man you will be so awakened for my Son that you will long for His coming.

Human history ends with us, the bride of Christ, calling out for Jesus to come because we are Lovesick and cannot wait for the day when He splits the sky. He is coming back, and we, the Church are going to be there. Nothing is going to be distracting our gaze. He will have a pure and spotless Bride. This is the reason of all creation.She will be found wanting, waiting, and ready.
She is not going to be concerned about herself, her circumstances, her position, or her posture in life. She has only one concern: the Divine has pierced her and she is lovesick because she has touched Him.
We will be standing there saying, Jesus, I cannot wait to see You ! I cannot wait for the day that my eyes see Yours, Oh, Jesus, You Love me and I love you. I want You to come back. You have wounded me with Love and there is no other place I can turn. I am ruined for anything less. It is about Love, Jesus ! Come to me !

You have ravish my heart

1 John 2.15 john said" Do not love the world or the things in this world.If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him

What John is saying, is do not set your house up in such a manner that a perfect earthly career and reputation are what you live for. If you live like that, at the end of your life, when you stand before Him, your heart will not be inflamed with passion and longing. When you buy into the cultural norms of the day, you will not be able have passion that will move you to the One from whom you were created.
We are not to make this world the object of our affection or the anchor of our hope.
We are not to be influenced by the trends and feelings that prevail this hour.The one who gives himself to the things of this world will not long for Jesus.

Our Goal in this shall be with in us, is to give us something more than basic mental assent, beyond the Yeah yeah I know He´s God and stuff.
Our desire should be that it would be an awakened hunger within us - that there would actually be a longing to be in Him and to say," Jesus, I desire You and you alone! It´s my heart´s cry to encounter You.
That is what i live for!I'm living for a person who moves me like nothing else could.
So I will abandon everything that hinders me,Distractions will be removed because I have an ache for You Jesus!
I have a longing and hunger to be with You and You alone !

Our ability to love is truly limited because we are finite people. The human heart only has so much affection, and it is physically impossible to have two lovers as number one in our life.
John said that when you give yourself to other loves, you will not be able to find your way. Having inflamed passion for The Son of Man has to be your heart´s singular cry.

In Mark 14:3-9 we find an amazing story about Mary of Bethany

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble her? she hath wrought a good work on me For you have the poor with you always, and whensoever you will you may do them good: but me you have not always, She hath done what she could: she is come a forehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

Jesus was using Mary´s heart as the model of desire and devotion.He lifted her up as the example.He said, This is what I am calling you to,This is the model of devotion and Love-a heart that is willing to give up everything and lay it at the feet of God.She is the model of this life we are called to lead.

So what Mary said is: You guys not get it I touched Him;He has wooed me and stirred me. This is what motivates me: This love is the longing that drives me. I Will pour over Jesus every ounce of Love. He has touched me and my response is to give everything. I will lay it all at His feet because I have been stricken with love.

If the Church would preach on the excellencies of this Man. The true message of Jesus-His undeniable character, the fullness of His emotions, His rapturous affections, His overflowing heart, His tenacious pursuit-then when the sermons stop and the hour of testing comes, the wounded people in the Church will be strong- not in their own perceived greatness and success, but in the strength of the Lord.
In that hour they will say," Take anything you want,but you cannot have my Love. It cannot be stolen. It is the most precious thing I have,and I do not care if I have anything else. I desire Jesus; Desire is what moves me, motivates me, and keeps me standing. I am not living for this Life; I am living for Him. Take whatever you want -I am His and He is mine.

The enemy has blinded many in the Church, many have bought into the religious lifestyle that numbs us to the reality of Jesus´existence without moving us any closer to understanding the heart of Jesus.
Many in the Church today are hungering and longing for something of truth and depth, but leadership only offers them a pacifier. Slowly we begin to give up and respond from a wounded hear that yet to be fully restored.
Thankfully, the structure of religion was never meant to satisfy; Jesus alone satisfies the hunger within you. The gospel is a call to a Man, Christ Jesus, not a cultural setting, a church building, a specific ministry model, or a group of people. Only when you touch Jesus is your hunger satisfied. As you see Jesus, desire will be awakened within you - a desire that can never be taken away - and you will offer your life to the Lord as one who has loved well. The passionate "Yes" in our heart will ravish Him and he will invite us into His eternal embrace as a faithful and fully pleasing Bride, the delight of his Heart.
