Breath of Heaven
by A gentle breeze beckons my name in a holy whisper. Instantly my heart is awakened. The Breath of Heaven that carries His Voice is summoning me again, the word of the Lord has come. Captivated by His Voice, I surrender my soul to embrace His Words. Time ceases to exist as eternity invades in Heavenly visitation and I am transported into heavenly realms. Overwhelming light, overwhelming love HE is near. His Presence engulfs me, the fragrance of His Name ravishes my heart. I am totally His in that moment of unspeakable joy. I hear and feel the majestic force of His spoken Word as my entire being is overshadowed by Him, the King of Glory. Yielding, I gladly respond in awe, "Here is your servant. Speak, Lord!" "Write down what I show you." His Voice roars, encompassing me. Holy fire and glory consume my heart. Glorious light, heavenly essence and holy angels all swirl around me. The mysteries of Heaven open up before me, instantly igniting my hungry soul with unquenchable passion for Him. His eternal Voice begins to flow through me, His Words surge through my heart as a cascading, powerful river, thundering in intensity. His words cut through mortal existence, they are my only reality words that will not return to Him void, without accomplishing the purpose for which He spoke them, sending them forth to the sons of man. Words by which His eternal purposes will prevail in the earth realm. Words that will set men's destinies on course. Words that pierce the darkness and expose the lie of the accuser. Words that capture hearts and fashion history. Words that carry His tangible Presence, that dispense His love Abandoned of self in His glory, one with His Spirit, a golden pen is fitted into my hand - angels of fire carry it swiftly across the page. The purpose of Heaven birthed on earth, these Words of the Almighty carry the weight of His sovereign authority and power - His will done on earth as it is in Heaven. He has spoken and I have captured His Living Words. The Breath of Heaven embraces me in a final gesture of love and His Voice as a whisper lavishes His tender approval, as He departs for the realms of glory. The vision lingers for a moment more but His eternal words, now fashioned by my hand in the earth realm, will live forever in the hearts of men. Undone by the majesty of His presence, but desperate for His soon return, now I whisper to Him, "When will the Word of the Lord come to me again? When will the Breath of Heaven capture me with the sound of His Voice? When will I be carried once more by the Spirit of the Holy One, to write down His eternal words?" The angels carry His reply, "Men's eyes will be opened as they read. Men's hearts will be opened as they hear My Voice through these words Yes, my faithful servant in whom I delight, the Word of the Lord will come to you, again!" ____________________________ Based on: Jeremiah 1:4; Isaiah 55:11; Mathew 6:10. Author's note: The phrase 'the word of the Lord came to me' appears numerous times in the Bible. Breath of Heaven has been written in an attempt to capture what the experience of receiving 'the word of the Lord' could have been like for the prophets of old.
