There is the dark place, deep in your inner man, and the Son will say that you desire truth—where? In the inward parts! That’s where God wants to build His temple. That is where the Holy of Holies has to be established—in the dark place, the hidden recesses, where the soul is established in your will. He wants to build Himself the Holy of Holies so that the cry of our heart becomes a place for Him to dwell. Come Lord Jesus and take up your throne!
We have several new people here tonight and I want to explain to you very vividly what it means to be owned by God in this way.
I think it was the 21st of June that I was standing in the pulpit of our other facility when we were in worship and the Lord began to move upon me like waves of a sea. Every time the wave would lap at my soul, He would take my soul deeper into the sea. This continued throughout the worship, until my soul was lost in the sea of God. I was lost in the sea of God, no longer cognizant of me, but consumed wholly in Him.
I tried to minister that night and I did minister, but every word that I read I experienced. Every word I read became an experience in God. I saw it. I do not mean I saw the words, “the sea.” What I saw was the actual sea of God. I did not see the words, “the mountain,” I saw mountain—which is God. Every word I read I saw the essence of it.
Remember what I told you, what I read to you—that Israel saw with their eyes what they heard with their ears at Mount Sinai? That is what I experienced that night, and I shared with those who were present everything I was seeing. I saw revelation in the Word, the likes of which I had never experienced before, because now the revelation was unfiltered. I had become one with Christ. My life was swallowed up in His. It was “No longer I that liveth.”
When you begin to experience the revelation of the Kingdom in this way, everything changes. God had millions of Jewish people at the bottom of the mountain, the privilege of which I experienced that night on June 21st. I was lifted up out of the reality of this temporal world—I was not even aware of it. I was wrapped in the ocean of God. I do not know how long I ministered that night, probably not very long, because I was really struggling to be able to keep communicating, but I brought things forth from this pulpit, the likes of which I had never spoken before, so deep and wonderful was the revelation.
And you know, we recorded that service and I would have loved everyone to have a copy of it. The only problem is that there was electricity in the sound system that made strange things happen to the recording and it was unintelligible. God’s presence was so powerful that night that our recording system could not take it. Or maybe the Lord thought that what He gave to me that night was only for those who were there. If you were not there that night, you will never know what you missed when God showed up!
This is prophetic revolution—the revelation that creates in you the revolution to come out of the world. It sparks a revolution to charge into the heavenlies and the Kingdom of God. And it is a holy revolution! No less than, but rather greater than the revolution that was fought in America. There was never a revolution greater than the one that is about to be released in the earth, stirring the hearts of God’s people to come out of the world and to go deep into the life of the Kingdom and discover what eternal life really is! It is a revolution against the flesh. It is a revolution against the life of the soul, where the life of the spirit is brought forth into dominance, ruling and reigning in Christ. So a holy revolution, amen?
Dear Jesus, where are You Lord? Where are You? Where are the hands of time? Where are You in this holy quest to own Your Church? How long Lord, until we are holy and completely Yours? How long? How long before we behold Your face and we understand the call to the Kingdom life. How long until we are made into Your image deep in our inner man? How long Lord? Where are You in the workings of Your seasons with great hunger?
We seek You Lord, to know Your truth and Your way. We pound on the door to the Kingdom. The violent are seeking to take it by force. We pound Lord, seeking to break through the veil and to know the truth. How long?
How long before you want God more than you want the present fulfillment? How long before the fire captivates your heart and you can no longer bear the distance? You must have God. You must have the living Word deep within your heart. You must feel the life of truth moving deep within your presence. Changing, remaking, bringing the light into the darkness. How long before you want this more than you want your present fulfillment? What are your eyes cast upon that keep you distracted from the beauty and the glory of the King that bought your soul?
Give it up. Whoever told you that you could have God and the world too, lied to you! You cannot. The reason the Church is so weak, walking in such low level Christianity, is because she insists on being able to keep the world. But the world is like heavy weights keeping you from ascending into the reality of the Living God who bought you and wants to own you! How long, we say, how long?
But that is not what the Spirit is saying. The Spirit of the Lord is saying, When you seek me with all of your heart—I will be known to you!
In His Amazing Love,
Nita Johnson
