I spent 4 days this week away from humanity & technology to leave space for my heart to be refreshed by God. Here are some observations. These are not teaching points, only experiences I had, and they are either the worst or best advertisement for following Jesus I can give you: - It took the first 2 days of doing nothing, seeking nothing, talking to nobody - before I could actually begin to hear the voice. These deep things were different from normal things he says and they were heard in prolonged inactivity and rest. - The voice did not often speak about me. He was speaking of people who are still walking in darkness that are opposed to him - people near to his heart who hate him. He compelled me to ask him for their hearts to be made new despite their rejection of him. - When the voice spoke to me directly, it did not speak many good things. It was saying impossibly difficult and hard to hear things about desires and ambitions in my body that must die so life can come. When these things were touched upon, I became angry, hurt and confused. - I was not often directed to pray for myself, but for other people - for churches, governments and movements in unreached nations, for friends and for enemies. Anytime I turned the thoughts inward, things got boring. - I cannot build a fire. At all. I lose 7 man points for this. - The voice did not let me sleep. I was woken up multiple times throughout the nights. On one particular night, I was shaken awake violently - something almost kicked me out of the bed, then I heard audible words spoken by a childs voice telling me peoples names (WTF?!). After cussing out loud and rebuking God for waking me up, I proceeded to pray for those people. Upon asking the people whos names I heard when I turned my phone back on, each was in need of help in those early hours. - Id be sitting doing nothing and visions would come to me of people I knew. They were specific and vivid - I did not know the meaning of many of them, but I wrote them down. The same thing happened with dreams (on the off chance I was able to sleep). - He is different than the American church has made him out to be. He is not all love. He is also truth - and his wrath is coming. He is not tolerant, but he is patient, and his kindness is what predicates his hard words. The end of truth is a banquet. - The more I tasted of God, the more I wanted. In the natural realm, we become hungry and then eat - but in the government of heaven, we eat in order to become hungry.
