“And because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to cry out, “Abba, Father.” (Gal 4:6).
It starts with the Spirit settling in the heart of the new creation, prompting his soul to cry, “My Father, my Father”. A desiring to associate itself with God, for this is the soul which was once estrange and alienated from God, but now there is a relationship and here is the soul clinging to that relationship, holding so tightly like her life depends on it. “Oh, my Father, my Father”, it starts with that but it does not end there.
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” (Rom 5:5).
The Spirit moves on to fill that heart with love, and if the soul would respond to this love being shed abroad in her, she would begin to desire a more intimate relationship with God, “I want to want you Lord”. This God is slowly becoming her lover as her desire for Him grows, soon she wants to see Him, to gaze at His face, to get lost in His eyes. She wants to touch Him, to hold His hands, she wants to walk with Him in the garden and spend a lot of time with.
Still it doesn’t stop there, all that time she has spent with Him, and all the love that fills her heart has begun to cause her to think about Him a lot. He is slowly becoming her obsession, and she moves from, “I want to see you”, to “I want to touch you, to place my head on your chest. Oh, that my body presses upon yours”. Yes she moves from “I want to hold your hands”, to “I want to be held by you. Hold me tightly unto yourself.”
Now she clings to her Lover the same way the Spirit taught her to cling to the relationship, “Abba, Father”. She is not just holding a relationship in her hands, she is holding Him, she is pressing her body upon Him. As if that is not enough, she keeps wanting more, never settling at a point, for pursuing Him has become an addiction. You cannot have a taste of this love and not want more, if this love is wine she is a helpless drunkard, always coming for more, “I love to love you Lord”.
Look at how intoxicated it has made her, people have begun to look at her strangely. The sane and sober has refused to associate themselves with her, “she is out of her mind”, they say. Yes indeed, they are very correct; she is out of her head in love with the Lord, and now she is too intoxicated with that love to care about what people thinks about her. Here she is, her flesh touch his, pressing hard upon him, yet she still wants more. She wants to enter into Him and she wants him inside of her.
It is not enough that her body press tightly upon his, she wants the whole of herself inside of him, to be everlastingly part of him. She wants to feel him all over her (both inward and outward), all over her body, filled with him and covered up with him, she wants to have nothing else but him. Everywhere she looks she want to see him, everywhere she touches she wants to touch him, that he might become her world, her existence. This is how far love brings us if we would yield ourselves to it.
It may start from us desiring to feel his presence, at least once in a while. And then you have that you begin to desire to have it more frequently, and soon you want to feel it every day. You want to live your life inside his presence, then you begin to desire to have it inside of you, to become one with it, yes to become his presence. You are so in love with this presence of God that you want to become it. You want to have it fill you inside and outside, you want to dissolve into it and become one with it.
I only used God’s presence as a sample, same goes with God’s wisdom, His patient, His nature, His Holiness, His power, His glory, and all of His fullness. And when we become one with Him in our soul we would become one with Him in our flesh and the Holy Spirit would have completed his job. The Holy Spirit didn’t come only to make us feel God’s presence and glory, and cause us to fall under the anointing, he came that we might become one with this presence, glory and anointing. Enough with falling under the anointing, get inside of it and become one with it, come into that union with God, that the marriage (the New Covenant) might be consummated it you.
