A Really Great Sight

Throughout the night and this early morning, Holy Spirit woke me up and weighed a vision and message upon me three times.

In the vision, was a deep hot spring with the most intense hues. Within the waters of this hot spring were divers.
Deep divers.
They continued taking turns going down into the depths of this spring, where they found what appeared to be the bottom. There indeed, was a floor covered with a layer of mountain flint. Beneath this huge layer of flint was a deeper pool, but the huge stone needed to be shifted to pass through. It was an enormous piece of stone, but covering a cistern of greater depths yet to be explored.
Out of all of the divers, there was only one who persisted in the quest to shift the stone.
During this quest to shift the stone, there arose the voices of others encouraging this diver not to continue. Stating with false authority, that they should not go beyond the stone.
Eventually, in the face of their great conquest, they had determined in their understanding that they should not go deeper; imagining “factual knowledge”, that the heat in the depths beyond the large stone, would kill this diver and change the atmosphere and environment of the spring.
But, this diver was undeterred and unsatisfied by their presumed understanding and knowledge of the unknown, and so, persevered to move it enough to go deeper, eventually shifting it just enough to pass through.

The Holy Spirit then said to me:

Who will come deep? Who will endeavor beyond the subsurface of the depths of their own knowledge and acquired understanding?
There is a way for man, through study, learning, and degrees. The acquisition of worldly knowledge and experience; fashioning a truth from the depths of their compartmentalized degrees and stating truths from their limited understanding.
My deepest divers are those who seek to know me.
Relationally.
The ones unafraid of the unknown.
Those who, by faith, seek a deeper connection, not just an understanding.
Not just an encounter.
Authentic depth.
Those who dare to endeavor into the unknown.
Those who want to touch my heart at any cost.

This morning I feel completely dependent upon the Lord, yet completely set free.

Today I feel called to new and unknown gifts, yet fully equipped.

Today more than others, the fire in my chest is consuming and burning up what was left behind in the natural.

It has all become the fuel for this deep, bellied fire rising in my throat.

I don’t know what it will taste, look, smell, sound, or feel like, but today, I know that it will not stay shut up in these bones.

Adonai,

Draw us deeper.

Don’t leave us content and satisfied with the limits of our own understanding of Your character and attributes, but leave us with a Holy desperation to go deeper into Your love.

Don’t leave us satisfied with the diffusion of thermal conduction from our past experiences, but draw us beyond the subsurface of our present depths to be the deep divers of Your heart.

Draw us beyond the fault lines left behind by the tectonic shifts in our lives, and compel us toward the mantle of Your Omnipotent and Omniscient Kingdom.

Call us deeper, so that we will be known as the deep divers who seek to touch the magma source of Your cistern.

Amen🙌🏼❤️‍🔥

“The Lord laid the earth’s foundations with wisdom’s blueprints. By his living-understanding, all the universe came into being. By his divine revelation, he broke open the hidden fountains of the deep, bringing secret springs to the surface as the mist of the night dripped down from heaven.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“It’s so enjoyable to come before you with uncontainable praises spilling from our hearts!
How we love to sing our praises over and over to you, to the matchless God, high and exalted over all!
At each and every sunrise we will be thanking you for your kindness and your love.
As the sun sets and all through the night, we will keep proclaiming,
“You are so faithful!”
Melodies of praise will fill the air as every musical instrument joined with every heart, overflows with worship.
No wonder I’m so glad; I can’t keep it in! Lord, I’m shouting with glee over all you’ve done, for all you’ve done for me: what mighty miracles and your power at work—just to name a few!
Depths of purpose and layers of meaning saturate everything you do.
Such amazing mysteries are found within every miracle that nearly everyone seems to miss.
Those with no discernment can never really discover the deep and glorious secrets hidden in your ways.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭92‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“I love you, Yahweh, and I’m bonded to you, my strength! Yahweh, you’re the bedrock beneath my feet, my faith-fortress, my wonderful deliverer, my God, my rock of rescue where none can reach me.
You’re the shield around me, the mighty power that saves me, and my high place. All I need to do is to call on you, Yahweh, the praiseworthy God.
When I do, I’m safe and sound in you— delivered from my foes!
For when the cords of death wrapped around me and torrents of destruction overwhelmed me, taking me to death’s door, in my distress, I cried out to you, the delivering God, and from your temple-throne, you heard my troubled cry, and my sobs went right into your heart.
The earth itself shivered and shook.
It reeled and rocked before him.
As the mountains trembled, they melted away, for his anger was kindled on my behalf!
Fierce flames leapt from his mouth, erupting with blazing, burning coals as smoke and fire encircled him.
He stretched heaven’s curtain open and came to my defense.
Swiftly he rode to earth as the stormy sky was lowered.
He rode a chariot of thunderclouds amidst thick darkness; his steed was a cherub, soaring on outstretched wings of Spirit-Wind.
Wrapped in the thick-cloud darkness, his thunder-tabernacle surrounded him.
He hid himself in mystery-darkness; the dense rain clouds were his garments. Suddenly the brilliance of his presence broke through with lightning bolts and hail— a tempest dropping coals of fire. The Lord thundered; the great God above every god spoke with his thunder-voice from the sky.
The Most High uttered his voice!
He released his lightning-arrows, and routed my foes.
See how they ran and scattered in fear! Then with his mighty roar he laid bare the foundations of the earth, uncovering the secret source of the sea.
The hidden depths of land and sea were exposed by the blast of his hot breath.
He rescued me from the mighty waters and drew me to himself!
Even though I was helpless in the hands of my hateful, strong enemy, you were good to deliver me.
When I was at my weakest, my enemies attacked— but the Lord held on to me. His love broke open the way, and he brought me into a beautiful, broad place. He rescued me—because his delight is in me!
He rewarded me for doing what’s right and staying pure.
I will follow his commands and I’ll not sin by ceasing to follow him, no matter what. For I’ve kept my eyes focused on his righteous words, and I’ve obeyed everything that he’s told me to do.
I’ve been blameless before him and followed all his ways, keeping my heart pure.
And so Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, because I kept my heart clean before his eyes. Good people will taste your goodness. And to those who are loyal to you, you love to prove that you are loyal and true. And for those who are purified, they find you always pure.
But you’ll outwit the crooked and cunning with your craftiness.
To the humble you bring heaven’s deliverance, but the proud and haughty you disregard.
God, all at once you turned on a floodlight for me!
You are the revelation-light in my darkness, and in your brightness, I can see the path ahead.
With you as my strength I can crush an enemy horde, advancing through every stronghold that stands in front of me. Yahweh, what a perfect God you are!
All Yahweh’s promises have proven true. What a secure shelter for all those who turn to hide themselves in you, the wraparound God.
Could there be any other god like Yahweh?
For there is not a more secure foundation than you.
God, you have wrapped me in power and made my way perfect.
Through you, I ascend to the highest peaks to stand strong and secure in you. You’ve trained me with the weapons of warfare-worship; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You empower me for victory with your wraparound presence.
Your power within makes me strong to subdue. By stooping down in gentleness, you made me great!
You’ve set me free, and now I’m standing complete, ready to fight some more!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭36‬ ‭TPT‬‬
