Has it happened to me? Yes. He eventually gave me my calling speaking through His word to me. From time to time he Opens His word like this, and I absorb what I can, read the word let Him teach.... this is the divine revelation I speak of, But he also brings dryspells so that we can appreciate what he has shown us..... So be ready for those dry spells as well. They keep you hungering and thirsting for the Manna from heaven and the living Water. We use 10% of our brains, I honestly think that other 90% is there for us to absorb what He has to give us, and then put words to it.
I know about the dry spells. I see them as a fast He puts us on. The true fast, in spirit. John of the cross calls them nights. You come out of them closer to what He wants. Various men in the Bible described these dry spells/fasts/nights many times. Here is one:
I am the man who has seen affliction
by the rod of the Lord’s wrath.
2 He has driven me away and made me walk
in darkness rather than light;
3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me
again and again, all day long.
4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old
and has broken my bones.
5 He has besieged me and surrounded me
with bitterness and hardship.
6 He has made me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.
7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape;
he has weighed me down with chains.
8 Even when I call out or cry for help,
he shuts out my prayer.
9 He has barred my way with blocks of stone;
he has made my paths crooked.
10 Like a bear lying in wait,
like a lion in hiding,
11 he dragged me from the path and mangled me
and left me without help.
12 He drew his bow
and made me the target for his arrows.
13 He pierced my heart
with arrows from his quiver.
14 I became the laughingstock of all my people;
they mock me in song all day long.
15 He has filled me with bitter herbs
and given me gall to drink.
16 He has broken my teeth with gravel;
he has trampled me in the dust.
17 I have been deprived of peace;
I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18 So I say, “My splendor is gone
and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”
19 I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
20 I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
Job also experienced this. Everything seems to pile on at once. You learn to almost desire them when they come since He does so much good for you by them.
I knew by an earlier post of yours that you are in one. I think you’ve been in and out of it, mostly in, for a rather long amount of time, correct?
