Jesus said, “If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father.” I want to live in such a way that I can say, “If you’ve seen me you’ve seen the Son.” Just as you cannot outpace your reflection in the mirror, so you should desire to reflect the nature of God.
I want to live in the rhythm of the Spirit. I desire to be One with Him.
Enoch lived in such a way. He walked with God so closely and for so long that he simply ceased to exist.
And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him (Genesis 5:22-24, KJV)
Think about that. Enoch walked with God and he was not, for God took Him. When I read that, I said to the Lord, “Father, I want to be a ‘was not’ too.” The believer should desire to cease to be. I want to be a tear in the fabric of this reality through which Heaven can invade earth. I want to become a portal through which the glory can touch the natural, transforming all around me, conforming my surroundings to the will of the Spirit. Lord, make us empty spaces through which you can exist in this world. It should be your desire that your presence and His presence would become indistinguishably one, that you would carry His presence wherever you step.
Believer, let your hands be His hands. Let Him heal and touch through them. Let your eyes be His eyes. See things, people, and situations the way He sees them. Let your mouth be His mouth. Speak His Word. Let your ears be His ears. Listen for His voice. Let your feet be His feet. Step wherever He leads. Let your being be His being. Let your heart beat as one with His. Crucify your will, and, in its place, allow God’s will to be resurrected.
Disappear in God. Decrease so He can increase.
