                            Passion

My Child, My child, do not spend time reflecting on any man's opinions
and approval. Free yourself and do not be a hostage anymore. Rupture
the shackles of public views and attitudes, breach the stereotyped
religious controls that men try so hard to embrace and manipulate.
Concentrate, observe and focus on Me, your King, your lover versus
those around you.  Place your gaze and affections on Me.  Sacrifice 
your reputation and your selfness; set aside your troubles and put away 
your sorrows.  All have died and been nailed upon the cross when you 
chose My Son. 

Come have the greatest encounter of your life with Me. I am the great 
"I Am," and I have called and chosen you for a purpose and a time. I have 
called you by name and chosen you from the least. Stir your passion and 
attract Me with the fragrances of your song and charm Me with your dance. 

Do not shrink back! Do not let fear impede you. My Spirit resides in you, 
what can man do? I love you child, and I love you with a perfect love--be 
not afraid or intimidated. Let your passion arise and flow over.  I seeded 
that passion and I have watered that passion, let it grow and multiply. 
My Spirit is rising up in the hearts of those I have called. 

I am calling forth those who are passionate for Me. Rise up!  Rise up!  
Stir yourself, arouse yourself, wake up!  Worship Me! Talk to Me! I am not
interested in your performance, perfection or politeness; I am engrossed 
and captivated by your passion. I want your worship, I want your hunger, 
I want you MY child, I want you to experience, to truly taste, see, smell 
and touch Me.  

Do not be stiff, full of religiosity and composure--cry, laugh, yell, 
whisper, dance, hop, jump, twirl and twirl--let all know that I am in My 
temple. I want an encounter with My child. I am longing to meet with you.  
Let loose your passion, let loose your love for Me, let loose your tears 
and let loose your joy, let loose your mourning and groaning for Me. Throw 
your arms around Me and jump into My lap. Now is not the time to be shy 
and sedate. Be not a prude. Throw yourself at Me and let Me know how much 
you love and adore your Daddy! 

Overcome your complacency, overcome your so-called self-righteousness, and
overcome your control.  Overcome!  Break free, Break free and loosen your 
passion in My Presence. I desire a face-to-face with you. I yearn for a 
heart-to-heart talk. The future awaits your decision. Do not wait another 
day, do not wait for just the right time--I, the lover of your soul say 
now is the day! Now is the time! 

Sing loudly, dance wildly, yell at full volume, roar like a lion calling 
its mate, here I am.  Grasp the arrows of victory, seize the arrows of 
deliverance and clench the arrows of freedom!  Declare "I will be even 
more undignified than this!"  Many will call it foolishness but it is
worship and glorification unto Me. Wipe your tears on Me, spill your
oils and expensive perfumes over Me, wash My feet, caress My face,
hold My hand, stare into the depths of My eyes, reach and grab hold of
MY cloak.  

I love your passion, My child, I love you. The out-pouring of your heart 
moves My hand, it extends the favor of My hand. Persist in seeking Me, 
pursue Me like you would your own lover, refuse to go away, refuse to be 
still, be infatuated, be crazed for the presence of Me, your King.  Put 
your desperation on display, let others view your hunger--cry out, cry 
out "I must have more of you, Lord!" Desire the fullness of My glory! Be 
the uninvited guest at My banquet this is what I, the great I am desires.  
Come dwell with Me. Seek My beauty to gaze upon, stand in awe of My deeds, 
let Me hear the pounding of your heart as you approach My throne, let your 
lips quiver as you speak My name, let your legs tremble and your body shake 
as you rejoice in Me.  

Give Me your all, mind, body, soul and spirit and I, the great "I Am"
will enable you to go to greater heights with Me. Be passionate My child! 
Hold nothing back! Let the flames of your passion lick My face.  Fan the 
flames, stoke and feed the coals, My child.  May they burn fiercely, 
forever glowing, and eternally sizzling--Hot, intense and always searing for 
your King!
