The Dance of the Trinity

The Dance Of The Trinity.
Conform me into Your image O Lord God! Create within me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me... Draw me and we will run after Thee O Lord God! For You are all my heart longs for, You alone can fulfill the deep longing in my soul... There will never be a friend or Lover like You Jesus! It is You who catches my tears and puts them in a bottle, who hears the quietest of my sighs. It is You who bids me to "Come Away With Me, My Love..." Even when I can't seem to find my way! You come again and stand behind the lattice work, allowing me to catch glimpses of Your beauty, until I think my very heart and soul will break because how can I comprehend or even contain within myself one ounce of Your Goodness and Glory? It is too high and lifted up! Your train fills the temple of my heart and constrains me to bow at Your Majesty. You lift me up and dance with me and You cover me with yourself. I am clothed in fine array, embroidered with Gold- your very Diety and Personage! You remind me that You have redeemed me and picked me up out of the ruins of what I called "my life." You have given me a new life, a new story, one written in Glory, with a citizenship and an ambassadorship! I am Yours, though still I falter and sometimes stumble. Yet You patiently teach me "The Dance of Life" found only in Your arms. Your Holy Spirit woos me and My Heavenly Father smiles and invites me to His knee... I look into your eyes Jesus and all else fades from view. This is my Beloved and this is my friend. And this is the Dance of The Trinity- all of me spirit, soul and body- Dancing with all of You.

La Danza de La Trinidad.
Me conforme a su imagen Oh Señor Dios! Crea en mí un corazón limpio, y renueva un espíritu firme dentro de mí... Dibújame y correremos tras ti Oh Señor Dios! Para todos Ustedes son mi corazón anhela, Usted solo puede satisfacer el anhelo profundo en mi alma... Nunca habrá un amigo o amante como si Jesús! Es usted quien las capturas de mis lágrimas y les pone en una botella, que escucha la más tranquila de mis suspiros. Es usted quien me ofertas "Venid conmigo, mi amor..." incluso cuando parece que no puedo encontrar mi camino! Usted viene de nuevo y permanecer detrás del trabajo de celosía, lo que me permite vislumbrar su belleza, hasta creo que mi corazón y alma se va a romper porque ¿cómo puedo comprender o incluso contener dentro de mí mismo una onza de su bondad y la gloria? Es demasiado alto y levantado! Su tren llena el templo de mi corazón y me limita a someterse a Su Majestad. Usted levantarme y bailar conmigo y que me cubren con usted mismo. Estoy vestida en matriz fina, bordado en oro- su muy Diety y personaje! Ustedes me recuerdan que tú me has redimido y me recogió de las ruinas de lo que yo llamaba "mi vida." me ha dado una nueva vida, una nueva historia, una historia escrita en la gloria, con una ciudadanía y un ambassadorship! Yo soy tuyo, aunque todavía no me flaquean y a veces tropiezan. Pero usted me enseña pacientemente "La Danza de la vida" que se encuentra sólo en sus brazos. Tu Santo Espíritu corteja a mí y a mi Padre Celestial sonríe y me invita a Su rodilla... Miro a los ojos a Jesús y todo lo demás se desvanece de la vista. Este es mi amado, tal es mi amigo. Y esta es la danza de la Trinidad- todo de mí espíritu, alma y cuerpo- Bailando con todos ustedes.

Thunder in the Shade 6-30-13 Annetta P. Lee



THUNDER IN THE SHADE
Annetta P. Lee
June 30, 2013
The Bible often speaks of thunder in reference to the voice of God. Many of you have received intermittent messages, articles, and revelations I branded THUNDER IN THE SHADE. This phrase was given to me by the Lord years ago when I wrote a novel with a similar name. My publisher rejected this as a title and approved instead {Secret Thunder}. Nevertheless, I have kept what God spoke to me as a special tag through which to channel and broadcast the things I hear and see from the Lord. 

I
 perceived in my spirit the sound of a door opening.  It is difficult to describe and I can’t say I completely understand it, but I heard the sound of a vacuum around the sound of a door opening. This indicates to me that this door has been closed for some time. We are already well advanced into the next season of demonstration. I didn’t say NEW season, but NEXT season.
“I Am NOW pouring out upon my people a great inclination to reach after My heart in every situation. Many will surprisingly yield their own personal agendas and desires to Me. This will open a place in their hearts to receive My Glory even embracing certain risks that will bring forth demonstrations of My Spirit,” says the Lord.  There will be no need for programs as before, but My Spirit will be poured upon all flesh and many will step out in boldness to display in mass that which was intended after the beginning.
Yes, the doors that have been closed are opening wide for you to step through and express My love and power among those upon the earth. Despite the resistance and hindrances that will be cast into your path, be bold and vigilant. Great temptation will come; also concerns of what mere man might think or say. But stay focused and plugged into Me through intimacy.”
“The season is here that My church must stand up and become the spectacle of my Glory. My church must be a greater expression of Me in this darkened time. Did I not say that the path of the righteous will be like the shining sun and shine ever brighter unto the perfect day? Look and behold who is in the midst of you. Is it not My Spirit”, says the Lord? “Look and behold what is in your hand. Is it not what I have supplied? Do not ignore what I have been quickening in your spirits, preparing you for such a time as this. Do not draw back, but walk through the veil of supernatural occurrences and help harvest souls quickly.”
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. I Corinthians 2:3-5
For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.    I Corinthians 16:9

The Dove's Coo by Annetta P Lee

The Dove's Coo!

Job 36:16 - “He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food. (NIV)  
Do you want to experience the unfathomable love of God? Indeed, He is even now wooing us unto Himself by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

I asked the Lord what He would have me share in regard to our relationship with the Holy Spirit. I felt impressed to keep this simple. This impression was confirmed when early Sunday morning before church He beckoned me to sit alone in my opened garage. Amidst the cheerful sound of chirping birds, I heard the distinct cooing of doves. Because I was there to hear Him, the cooing was immediately quickened.

As believers, we are aware that often the Holy Spirit is portrayed as a dove—his characteristics and style. The dove also symbolizes “peace”.  

John 14:26-27 – But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (NKJV)

So, what is it that the Lord was attempting to show me? 
 
First, I believe it essential to acknowledge that the dove will never cast us out, but lovingly draw us to Him by a distinct call. 
   
John 6:37 – All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. (NKJV)
 
John
6:44 – No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. (NKJV)

Adult doves have two major calls: First, a regular “cooing” tone usually uttered with the neck stretched up and the throat blown out. Spiritualizing the effort would indicate an alarm or warning to pay attention. Secondly, a quiet tone uttered without inflating the throat, for purposes of contact and appeasing a mate, which includes reminding us of whose we are. This call, obviously, speaks of intimacy.  

From childhood until now, we have been beckoned to a journey of the heart—a journey filled with intimacy, adventure, and beauty—a sacred romance that also meets with necessary risks. Ignoring the whispered call of the dove is like placing a great gulf fixed between two lovers.  

SOS 5:6 – I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away and was gone. My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. (NKJV)  

The Dove’s Coo calls to us in our own individual language: our fondest memories, our greatest loves, our noblest achievements, even our deepest hurts. The reward is certainly worth any risk.
 
My sisters, God Himself yearns for us. May I encourage you to pay the cost with time, sincere thanksgiving, worship and praise, obedience, and attentiveness. Yes, and even seasons of walking through the mud in the rain.  

Though now I occasionally feel as old as white thread, I still dance on the clouds with Him, the One my soul loves. I still enjoy the warmth of His affection, the prickling of His manifested presence, the soothing of His whisper, and the pure ecstasy of His touch. This Sacred Romance still strikes a chord in me that yet increase my longing for more.

If you crave for something more, even if you don’t know what that something is, then turn your face to Him—be still, and listen for His coo!

Struggle Not With the Promises

I struggle so sometimes, 
but Daddy has said 
I am not to struggle and fret, 
that He's already hedged the bet!  
Because of Jesus-I win...
I just gotta not quit and give in 
to the lies in my head, 
but simply stretch ahead 
like the race horse on the final turn, 
Yes,soaring higher and freer- 
that is what I yearn.  
 
So with my eyes fixed on You,
I give it all I've got, 
and take hold of Your Precious Promises 
that cannot be bought.  
I look not at what may surround, 
but only at Your Grace 
which does always abound.  
I forget my past except to rejoice 
that I am no longer captive in that place 
For at last all my cares I can cast 
into Your loving. watchful care 
Help me Abba to give You 
legal possession and 
then, just leave them there!
 
There is nothing that is 
too hard for Thee
It's written in Your Word
for all to plainly see.
You spoke that, just like
You said, "Light Be!"
And both day and night
the sun and moon give their light
shining ever so bright.
 
You created the ocean waters
then put a boundary upon the shore-
You spoke and commanded, 
"This far and no more."
Today we watch waves play on the sand
with their ebb and flow
as they still obey the command
You gave them long, long ago.
 
I am the Lord, I change not!
Have I not said, and it shall surely be?
So bring all your doubts, sorrows and pain
Simply Trust and Give them to ME!
Trust in My Goodness and like
Moses, My Glory you shall see.
For I have called you in Christ
to live and dwell in Me.
 
In Me is Life flowing abundantly
There is no shadow or lack
Trust Me my child, when I say
"I've got your back!"
 
My Plans for you my child are laid,
they are forever set in stone.
The Cornerstone gave His Life,
so that all these plans, you Can Own!
 
So, look full into the face 
of My Wondrous Love
Seek now My Wisdom
which is from Above.
 
Think not your old thoughts
of fear, lack and defeat.
But humbly come now
and sit at My Son's feet.
 
There you will find
all that you seek.
Take now His yoke 
for He is humble and meek.
 
Partner with ME and see
just how far you can go!
I desire to show you things
that you do not Yet know...
 
On the wings of My Spirit you can freely soar
Hear as I call to you to "Come up Higher!"
For it is there that you will experience "the more"
as you desire to know My Heart and to be filled with My Love and Fire!

Isaiah 55:6 (AMP)  Seek, inquire for, and require the Lord while He may be found [claiming Him by necessity and by right]; call upon Him while He is near. 
 
Jeremiah 29:11-13  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
 
Jeremiah YLT 29:13  And ye have sought Me, and have found, for ye seek Me with all your heart; 
 
1Peter 2:6-9  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
 
2Peter 1:3-4  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

No Other Name

No other Name but the Name of Jesus...
No other Name but the Name of the Lord...
No other name but the name of Jesus...
is Worthy of Glory, and Worthy of Honor
And Worthy of Power and all Praise!

There are many names out there. And they are all screaming and demanding our attention.  Let's see we have,  Old age, social insecurity, islamic terrorists who hate us and the Jewish people, simply because we exist!  We have economic melt down, war, famine, earthquakes, nuclear threat, aids, alzheimer's disease, stroke, cancer, bird flu, swine flu, murder, rape, violence, civil unrest... the list goes on and on.  (And I purposely did not capitalize them.) All these things have a name.  Their name can invoke varying degrees of anxiety, fear or downright terror into people. And it is meant to!  Fear, manipulation, domination, control and isolation and shame are main tactics the enemy uses, and he uses people to work through
 to implement them.

Revelation 12:11 tells of of saints of old, who are now part of that "great cloud of witnesses." It says specifically; "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."

The Blood of the Lamb!  Who is that Lamb? What is His Name?  It is JESUS!  The word of their testimony... "what you say is what you get"  more oft than not...So are your words agreeing with THE WORD?  The Word of the Lamb who gave His Life for you?  Who declared, "IT IS FINISHED." The battle and victory were already won, already paid for, already secured... we have skirmishes down here... but the next ALL OUT BATTLE is yet to be fought.  But take courage, read the back of the book- "WE WIN!"  And the last part of that sentence says, "...and they loved not their life unto the death."  What does that mean?  The Amplified Bible reads this way: ..." for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing]."

Paul said it this way, " To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord."  For the believer, death is the final enemy and we are promised that it has no hold on us, no sting, the grave has no victory.  Billy Graham said it is the business of  dying, that he does not look forward to, but death itself? It is nothing to us, for We are HIS and HE is ours and Heaven is our home!

Am I advocating we just rollover?  Not at all! Go down swinging! ( If you have to go down.) Keeping fighting the enemy who constantly bombards us, bombards our flesh, bombards our minds, bombards our emotions.  It IS a war we are engaged in.  Once you get past being a baby Christian, you will be expected to learn to fight with the weapons of our warfare.  They are NOT fists, knives or guns.  They are powerful and varied. After all the word says weapons, plural.  One of our weapons is our words and not just any words, but the word of our testimony.  What is our testimony?  It is what we beleive at the very core of our being.  Do we really believe that God is "for us" as stated in Romans 8:31. Do we really believe His Word is true?  Not only true, but that it has power to save?   “Preaching about the cross sounds foolish to those who are dying in sin. But it is the power of God to those of us who are being saved from the punishment of sin.”   1Cor 1:18 NLT

Whose words, will we believe? Who will we listen to ? And what will we speak?   Our own negative talk, the voice of the world system, as it further decays?  The voice of earthly, sensual and devilish wisdom, or the Wisdom that is from above?  Which is peaceable, gentle, easily entreated?
Sin drives, but LOVE leads.  Yes the Spirit drove Jesus into the desert, but that was not the same kind of “drive.”.  That was compelling Him, making it irresistible, to lead, urge, draw out, to cause a thing to move straight on its intended goal…”  Jesus had intimate fellowship with the Father and the Spirit.  He would go spend the wee hours in the mountains being alone with them.  Remember, in Heaven He and the Father were intertwined and had never been separated.  So, the wilderness experience that Jesus faced, was not God deserting Him! It was a time to put into practice, to voice the Word that HE had hidden in His heart. So when satan came at him, He could counter each time with “It is written.”  He could do it, because it was part of Him. He BELIEVED IT and staked His life on it, because He knew His Father, intimately, deeply, personally.  The same way we are invited to know Him!

As we become so intimately acquainted with our Father who art in Heaven, and with our Lovely Jesus our Bridegroom, and with the incomparable Holy Spirit, we will not fall for satan’s tricks and masquerades. He always tries to cause us to doubt God’s character, God’s word.  But when we have waited on God and become tie dyed or entwined with Him then we will KNOW that nothing can separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  And that Love is a driving force! It drives out fear, sickness, doubt, pain, loneliness, guilt, shame.  Let the Love that is found in the wonderful name and Person of Jesus, wash over you today.  Come to the Lover of your soul. Come let HIM make you whole!

For there is NO OTHER NAME!  Acts 4:10b, 12  J.B. Phillips New Testament  …”it is high time that all of you and the whole people of Israel knew that it was done in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! In no one else can salvation be found. For in all the world no other name has been given to men but this, and it is by this name that we must be saved!”
