******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******
I am still in pursuit of the passionate love, the fragrance, the aroma of God. Lately, I have noticed that I have been hearing more and more about fragrances being released in different meetings of those that call themselves God chasers (or some version of that). The essence of myrhh, of roses, of nard have all been noticed, as well as many that there are no name for. Could it be that the veil between heaven and earth is getting thinner? That those hungry ones that pursue the presence and aroma of God as a starving child might chase a morsel of bread, are bringing us all closer to the thresh hold of
the bridal chamber? Let us not despise in our hearts those that are willing to lay down everything and anyone to be in the presence of their beloved. Let us not be Michals that mock the Davids of the world who would whirl and dance in joy and honor of our heavenly king. God will not be mocked. Nor should we allow any hint of mockery or judgement in ourselves toward our brother or sister in Christ.
Oh God, let us be so hungry for you that we seek you above all other things or people. Let the cry of our hearts be for the aroma, the fragrance, the deep passionate intimacy with God. Let the aroma of God, that is a sign and symbol of his unconditional love for us be made fully manifest in our lives. Let us be so saturated with His aroma that there is not doubt that we are in close contact, spirit to spirit, with Jesus, the Father and His Holy Spirit. Let us no longer be content with crumbs but push in and thru for the whole loaf so that we can come away from being with our beloved with morsels for a starving world. Once they taste His goodness, His unconditional love, His mercy, no other fare will satisfy them. Personally, I have smelled His aroma. I have caught a hint, a whiff of a perfume, an essence so indescribably beautiful and intoxicating that I must have more. No matter where I have to go, including in seclusion in my quiet place with the Lord, nor what I have to give up, I must have more of Him. His aroma is like an appetizer to the richness, the feast that is His presence. It is a promise and an invitation of more. And, I must have more. I must go beyond this cage I have put myself and God into. We must be out of the box and into the bridal chamber. The course is set, the path chosen, the bower beckons. I must go. How about you? How long will you tarry and let the smell tease the edge of your senses, promising joy and union, communion with the beloved. It is time, it is past time, let us start on the path, He will do the rest. He always does. We did not save ourselves, we cannot do this on our own either. Committing to deeper intimacy is our choice and His joy to take us in and thru the process. Step up, step in and come and soak. Come and seek the Aroma of God.
