Little Update
I am going to try and make this shorter than the other posts. This is just an update of what we are doing and what God has been teaching us.
We all have been going through Song of Solomon teaching. It is probably the most wonderful thing I have ever studied in my life. It is about romance between God and the bride of Christ, trials, end times, intimacy, and the passion of God’s heart toweard us.
I do not want to write everything down today, but I will eventually get everything down here. I really want everyone that I know to understand this because it is so amazing! This post is to sort of wet your appetites for more to come.
For our Song of Solomon study, we first started out in Genesis chapter 2 because of the paralellism. One thing that really stuck out to me from this study was the concept that we were created out of the overflow of God’s delight because God desires a companion. Another prominent point that absolutely struck me was that Adam is brought into God’s emotion for partnership. He feels what it is to desire and long deeply for something. Longing for a companion is not a sin. It is not lacking on our part. It is a God-given emotion. This revelation is a picture of God’s longing for the body of Christ.
We have been studying the first few chapters in Song of Solomon. It is amazing! The first thing we learn in the first chapter is that our success is not determined by what we do or do not do for the kingdom. It is defined by our love for Jesus and His love for us.
Like I said, this is all to just introduce the study. I will go into depth in a few days. I’m sure by now, after reading those few sentences, you are hungry to learn what I have been learning or at least curious!
We had prayer last night for children, parents, etc. that they would have a hunger for the Lord. I prayed that children would dream dreams of Jesus and that the pleasures of their games, TV shows, movies etc, would grow dim compared to the pleasure of Jesus.
This past Friday, Jordan, John and I led intercessary worship for the Encountering God Service. It was incredible and the Holy Spirit came in our midst. Some of our friends from Liberty came down, and our friend Emaury Wood sang over us. It was beautiful.
I would love some comments on any one of my posts or just let me know that you have read them. I love you all. God bless.
