"Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: 'It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God's mouth.'"  Matthew 4:4, MSG While religion tries to relate to God only through text and quasi forms of worship, we cannot deny that it must begin and end in our walk with Him. Our theology is also very experiential. It should be ever growing and changing. Each time we see Him as He is, we change. As we experience Him in greater dimensions, He reveals Himself to us that we may behold His glory and become like Him. Yet all the while, there are those who feel they must help us to not go too far. For me it's too late. I've fallen in love with Him over and over again so many times that it's useless to tell me that one can go too far with Him.
As I've walked through a lengthy transformation that included my personal and professional life over the past several years, it's been an open demonstration of walking out the prophetic word and process. God is taking His Body through healing, purging and recalibration that we may go from glory to glory experiencing Him in realness unprecedented by our past. Being one who creates the visual for others to follow is not always comfortable. Ministries tend to polish things up so they look like they planned every step out of a manual. The problem with that is that it's not real life. When others are following, they need to see exactly what will be encountered along the way. The promises function by principles we often miss and are often surrounded by pitfalls that we blindly step into in our haste.
I love vision! I love being able to project where the Lord is going based on the prophetic insight He gives. Often we carry the vision in us for years before having the understanding. Yet all the while it is a source of contemplation before the Lord. At times the Lord reveals things to us about us. But at the same time, He is actually revealing to us that we are part of a larger company of people that He is raising up. I've been one of those who have been hidden for years in process yet in the public view. I'd like to share an insight from the Lord's perspective. Often we go through process and it's easy to lose sight of the objective and the expected outcome of the process. All process is preceded by the promise. God gives us a promise and then the process begins to prepare us to live in that promise in His presence. The process trains us and delivers us simultaneously.
