I’m delivering a message here: God wants you to seek Him in a new way. The way is old, but misunderstanding is significant and blocks you from reaching Him. The next time you pray deeply and feel His presence, step beyond that feeling. From your perspective, your feelings may seem like God, and you may desire these sensations more than God Himself. Ask yourself, “Is God greater than what I feel?” Remember the importance of denying yourself, including how your flesh reacts—it stands in the way. His Holy Spirit will become your guide, like Reason. Wisdom comes from understanding. The Holy Spirit is not a feeling; use it as guidance. This is the new way of perceiving the world. What is alive doesn’t need inspiration or reviving. Stop tending to your flesh.
Interesting. You are on the cusp...but there is a proper way of proceeding. It must be done with focus, focus on that One way which God has orchestrated. Care must be taken to avoid the present context of this world--you more or less said that--which, if we are not careful, can be the baseline of our reasoning.
Jacob "
wrestled" with God and was injured. God has reasoned with mankind, but don't expect to reason with God--He is no respecter of persons. Ask rather than tell. Pour your heart out, but then be silent.
In any case, your timing is good. What God set before humanity following the cross was the opportunity to live very close to what you have said. But again He was rejected. "
First the natural, and afterward the spiritual." First the natural: unto Israel; then the spiritual: unto the gentiles. But again, He was rejected. And thus, here we are nearing the end that might have been so long ago (fortunately for us). Alternatively, we might have missed out entirely. Heaven forbid.
First a reminder of His promise: rainbows everywhere. Then the great and horrible finish: jubilee and terror. Then comes the end.
