what is the first thing you think of when someone tells you that the Spirit moved, is moving or is going to move. the first thing that comes to my mind is this cloud-like presence sort of engulfing a given area and doing something to a person or persons heart that is basically unexplainable. this whole process is of couse unseen.
i get to thinking and i cant help but feel like God is oh so distant just due to the fact that his “tangible” presence is very lack there of. but is it?…
i just get this feeling that Christ is so much more tangible than what we make of Him. for instints; the obvious is that Christ calls us to be His hands and His feet…He doesnt call us to be like Hid hands or feet or to do as they did, but He literally tells us to be them. does this actually mean that my physical body is that of Christ? that when Christ allows me to be used by Him, His hands and feet are physically and tangibly moving? hmm…
latley when there is food in my presnce that is for my consumption, the Lord has taught me to put that food into perspective with the rest of the worlds “accesableness” for food, which really puts me into a mindset of awe and thankfulness for this here simple peanutbutter and jelly sandwich. no matter how i slice it, the Lord has provided for me for this one meal i have in front of me…thats it…i cant argue and i cant deny it…He said everything we need will be given to us if we trust Him…here it is, exactly what i need at the exact right time…im hungry. hmm…basically when Christ speaks on love, He is refering to it as either Himself or an action from a responce in the heart. Chist told us that He will supply for us, that love is an action, and the He is love…His act of supplying this here food infront of me is His “action” in giving love and ill be damned, Christ is love…this here peanutbutter and jelly sandwich is the tangible action of His love for us…hmm…
now lets put the test to a human…i decide to give a boy some extra plastic bags right outside my front door because his bags of groceries are falling out of the bags everywhere…i think that boy is tangibly experiencing Christ…not something that Christ would have done, but me being that actual hands and feet of my Lord, he is tangibly seeing Christ in action…hmm…
am i going crazy? is the Spirit way more intimatly close than we think? is He both tangibly inside and outside of us?
Father, i literally want to be Christ’s body for Your people. i wanna see the Spirit move in power through my choice of taking action to the extremity for Your people. i wanna see hearts melt for You because of our choice as a body to allow You to tangibly be You through us and what we do. God, give me an ablity to create and be part of a body that is so Spirit/power driven because i am You, i am in You, i am of You…i am You…somehow…but am still not God at the same time…may You move inpower through me because You are me and i am in You…this is not pride, this is confidence…i feel like i am asking for something that is scarily powerful and so not possible to understand…i almost cant understand what i am asking for but i can feel it in my Spirit so strong and i know You understand it…so thank You…in the name of Christ i ask these things…
