“When you come together, each of you has” something to share out of Christ. It is in the Spirit of coming together that I am sharing this personal meditation, as being a fellow-member of yours in our Lord’s body.
I’ve had opportunity this weekend to spend much time just meditating and focusing on the Lord. It’s been an uncommon time of receiving several dreams and even a number of visions – quite uncommon for me. But let me tell you what I’ve experienced of Him. I am somehow seeing Him in myself, in my soul, according to His Word; that His Spirit has been sent into us. So I’m recognizing that as I often say, I am conjoined to Him, but today I have a deeper understanding, or a term that for me has a deeper meaning, and it is co-essenced. I am now recognizing that I in Christ am co-essenced in His essence; that I am being mingled with His pure essence. This deposit that is in me (us) is of that same pure, distinct, God-essence that was before time – it is the core essence of His being and it has been deposited in us – God in Christ deposited in us. And I am seeing God in all of His expressions, as Father, Son, and holy Spirit, Wisdom and Love and beyond – I am seeing God in His original, before all these things that give Him expression for creation’s sake. And that original essence is in us, and I am co-mingled with THAT; co-essenced with God in His essence.
And in my meditations I am seeing Him in me, sensing His God-essence in me and am simply meditating on that, and it is filling me with a new sense of relationship, and a more tangible sense of destiny. I am recognizing that THAT is my destiny, and that as we come into our own, I will be living out of that coalescent essence. And being coalesced with Christ means that there has been a tincturing or suffusion of my being with all that is the pure, eternal essence of CHRIST, as a tree that over centuries of time can draw in the minerals of the soil in which it is planted and become so one with the mineral-rich essence of that source that it becomes petrified and is transformed into congealed, mineral-rich Rock – Petrified: from the Greek root Petra, meaning Rock. One with The Rock; becoming a living Stone, as the Apostle Petra was given inspiration to share: we as living stones having drawn all our essence – having had our essence tinctured by His – are becoming a dwelling to host the fullness of His presence in all its wonder. And those thoughts are transforming my expectations of being Christ, as He is Christ, in all humility and wisdom and insight and charity and capacity… It’s as if I just discovered His incarnation within and having SEEN Him in the eternal purity of the measure I’ve been given to SEE Him, in ME, is transforming the potentiality, the tangibility, even the certainty of becoming, CHRIST!
Seeing Him within, essenced within – in my soul – has transformed my mind, my meditation. Now I sit quietly as matter in the Life of the seed, filled with expectation as I see the infinite, eternal, explosive quality of the Life into which I’ve been coalesced. Now my meditation is on the power and potential of that eternal Life within, and it has caused me to see things through an entirely different lens.
Praise the Lord for His unfathomable plan and purpose for us ‘throwaways’. Praise the Lord for making the way for us to move from flesh to spirit – to become spirit-beings – spiritual sons of our great, GREAT God. Praise the Lord that we ARE becoming, and praise the Lord that the BECOMING is such an amazing experience!!! Becoming spiritual – spiritually Minded, spiritually powered, spiritually ESSENCED – is an amazing experience.
God is MORE God than we are still able to fathom!!! There is still sooo much MORE to discover about Him!
So I share this with you with some trepidation and pray you are able to receive and rejoice in these things in the spirit they are shared, despite all the ‘me’ talk. The intention behind sharing these things is to give both glimpse and witness to the experiential reality of the transformation process, as one person is experiencing it. One day we’ll have been transformed, and that will be a witness to those who haven’t, but I’m thinking that now, for those that are of the first group to come through, we could be sharing and giving witness to one another what we are experiencing, as encouragement and confirmation.
Perhaps not everyone is able to express in words what they are going through, and that is fine. I know there is much of my own experience that I am not yet able to articulate. This sharing is only meant to give a basis for sharing such things, as the Lord enables.
With regard for you,
danny
