Yesterday I saw sheets-- all different colors-- hanging on a clothesline in the wind. I was sitting at a stop sign. Im glad there was no traffic to speak of on that road. Because I sat there for what seemed like a long time. The wind.. allowed to touch each sheet.. turned and spun and caressed then. It wasnt violent, too rough, or harmful.. No. It was actually tender, yet intense and can I say... intimate? The wind touched each corner. The air breathed life into each fiber. Every part of each piece of material that was exposed... for the express PURPOSE of being touched and changed by the wind.... was. Then I noticed the basket lying on the ground next to the post. It was filled with wet laundry that never made it onto the line. Perhaps whoever was putting things out to be dried and touched by the freshness of the wind.... got busy. Maybe they were distracted by a phone call, or some other task. Could it be, they got tired... and went to rest a bit. Or.. maybe they forgot there was more to do. I dont know. What I DO know is... the Lord spoke to my heart and said simply this. Whatever you ALLOW the Holy Spirit to touch in your life.... WILL be touched. Whatever you expose to Him, will be changed and caressed and moved. Whatever you do NOT, for whatever reason, will becoming strongly unpleasant-- like that wet laundry that has been abandoned and compacted in that basket on the ground. The smell of it, the feel of it.. the texture of it... will be unpleasant. Hmmm. (I was just stopping at a stop sign, Father...) lol Be ready... at any moment... for God to speak something to you. This must be important for some today. It must. I thought to post on it last night and did not. Last night, I had a dream that I was in a competition in which there were many teams... and the enemy had dispatched people to secretly keep our team from winning... In the dream I dealt the enemy a blow. The wound that I inflicted... remained. I woke this morning with that dream on my mind. And I saw the face of the man in my dream. He was scowling still. Injured still. And I remembered that I needed to post about the laundry on the line--touched by the wind. Listen... the Holy Spirits job, mission, function, and assignment-- Is to reveal Perfect Truth. To Guide. Correct. Convict. To give Power. To raise things up from death to life. (it was the power of the Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead!) And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.~ Romans 8:11 The Holy Spirit is here to change us. Touch each part of us. Fill us. Ignite us. Tenderly caress us with Himself. But what you do NOT... willingly expose to Him-- He will not. And it will rot. (for lack of a better word... ) It will become foul. It will be uncomfortable and unpleasant. It will remain untouched, unhealed, unfreshened,? and unchanged. When we willingly drape ourselves in His presence.. When we expose ourselves and invite Him to come and touch us and reveal things to us... HE WILL. And when we hold back certain areas from this.... He will NOT force His way into those areas. He just.. will not. What areas have you been holding back from the Holy Spirits touch, today? What have you been hiding? What have you become too distracted to give Him? What have you become to busy to lay before Him? What have you forgotten? How have you become too tired? Pray on that today. Its so strong in my spirit today... that God has this AMAZING thing that He desires to sweep through your life and DO-- and there are specific reasons why He has NOT.. thus far. I love you. I believe in you. Kim:)
