The Uncaged Journey

    Today I want to be a bit more candid with you about "The 40 Day Journey," because I know many of you have had some of the same struggles, questions, and desires. The desire of my heart comes from John 14:21 which says, " He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him . " My desire is to see Him! Each day when we spend time with Him, He reveals more and more of Himself to us and for this I am eternally grateful. But I truly desire to see the One I live for; the One I sense with me at all times.     So, how was the journey? Well, I didn't have Jesus sit and have tea with me, I didn't have any unusual manifestations of Heaven in my midst, I didn't even have a vision, or fall down drunk in the glory! It actually felt drier than it was before the 40 days. There was one answer to prayer which has blessed me tremendously - I had (and stil

Song of Solomon 6:13:  "Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon you!" Then the Bride asks, "What would you see in the Shulamite?" They respond, "As it were, the dance of two camps ?" What was it the daughters of Jerusalem (regular Christians) saw in the Shulamite that drew them to her? I believe they saw the reflection, the mirror image, of the Bridegroom (Jesus) emanating from her being and yearned for what she carried. They knew they needed what they saw in her, but instead of going directly to the Lord themselves, they were settling for what they could receive through her. When asked what they saw in her, they responded that she was the dance of two camps.  You, like the Shulamite, are the dance of two camps! You are the convergence of two realms. You are the living substance of heaven and earth. When God created Adam, He formed Him of the earth, but also breathed His Spirit into Him. This symbolized that man

"God's design for the soul is that it should be lost in Himself, in a manner unknown to ordinary Christians." Jeanne Guyon Sometimes I sit to write this blog and realize that there is no way I can convey with mere words what is stirring inside of me. In truth, I cannot. Although I love to write, there really is a place of God's love that leaves us expressionless, so deeply at rest in His love that words become trite - almost offensive. Perhaps I can dance what is inside of me? More than likely, even dancing would be no more than stirring the air in comparison to the hurricane of His love I experience deep within. Did God create the wind, the storms, the ocean waves, and the majestic mountains for no other reason than to give us a picture of this love that is stronger, wider, and more powerful than words alone can convey? The more we get to know the treasure of His love inside of us, the more we realize we are forever wrecked. The days I am overwhelm

We love the Lord's presence, we desire to see Him (John 14:21), touch Him (John 20:27), eat with Him (Rev 3:20) and be besides ourselves in the rapturous bliss of His presence (2 Cor 5:13-14). We are those with burning hearts; those who desire to remain in the awareness of God's presence at all times. When we have set apart times with the Lord, we close our eyes and turn our gaze upon Him and allow ourselves to be immersed by His love and glory. But as we seek Him, let's remember something very important. Regardless of our great need for His love, let's remember to take our eyes off of ourselves and our need and bring Him our love . Honor Him as King, Savior and Friend. Bring not just your heart to Him, but words with you, speaking forth His greatness, beauty, righteousness, faithfulness, etc.  Let words of love flow from your lips, not just so you can sense His presence, but because He is deserving of your adoration.  His presence will come as w
