Stone-cold frozen! What can make TIME come to a complete halt (theoretically)? What can make TIME freeze? What can make you stop everything you're doing, and stand completely still? What makes a man suddenly stop while he is running? What can make a woman suddenly stop walking on the street, turn her face towards the sun, and start smiling? The answer is a "sudden REVELATION!!!!!!!!"

When we catch a glimpse of the true revelation of Who God really is, we FREEZE for a moment, relishing and delighting in the sweet secret thing we've just discovered. Guess what? Even God Himself can suddenly stop, freeze in time, probably scrunch up His nose and raise His mighty finger towards His chin, and take one good long eternal look at us, when He has a revelation that we have just discovered a revelation (sounds like a tongue-twister). Frozen in time! The spectacular look of shock or fascination. What do I mean by that? Lollll...

So the thing is that yesterday, I was reading about the two blind men who were sitting on the outskirts of Jericho, who had a revelation of Who Jesus really was (Matthew 20:29-33). See, they were blind, but they still had a vision. They were physically blind, but physical obstructions couldn't stop their revelation. They KNEW Who God was, and nothing (not even blindness) could stop them from feeling His presence as He walked through the street in which they sat that evening.

.

And behold, two blind men sat sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!" Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!" So Jesus STOOD STILL and called them and said, "what do you want Me to do for you?" They said to Him, "Lord, that our eyes may be opened." Matthew 20:29-33

They had a deep revelation of Jesus, right down to the bone marrow of His ancestral inheritance from his earthly fore-father, king David. Then they also had a deeper revelation of His healing power...from hearing the stories of how He cast out demons, healed the sick, calmed the storms, and fed 5,000 men, therefore they KNEW He could heal their blind eyes (revelation). Then in their conclusion, they called Him "Lord," recognizing the fact that He was God. Jesus had to freeze in time, in the moment that they called Him "Lord" and "Son of David." He must have smiled at such revelation from such physically blind men.

.

So my question today is "do you have a revelation of Who God really is?"

.

In my own revelation of God, I wrote this poem one day while on the train. I view God as a precious treasure, that once found I never want to let go again...too precious to think of losing. I pray this revelation causes God to freeze in time, and smile...

I see myself

Running between forests of trees

Leaping over peaks of mountains

Swimming in the deepness of seas

Flying with the wings of the wind

Just trying to catch a glimpse of Your light

.

And all of a sudden I catch it

I see myself holding on so tight

Not willing to ever let go again

I came miles and miles just to get here

So Lord do not let me go again.

.

I crossed oceans

I climbed mountains

I flew a million miles

Just to catch a glimpse of Your sun

So Lord do not let me go again

.

I close my eyes and feel the breeze

and with my eyes closed I see Your beauty

Never have I seen such a glow

Not even for miles and miles

Your smile has caused my heart to melt

Your smile has erased all the shadows within me

It has given me confidence, courage, and strength

So Lord, never EVER let me go again...

.

Even the two blind men outside the city of Jericho had a revelation, and their revelation caused God to stop walking and ask them what they wanted. Do you have a revelation of God? Your revelation will cause God to freeze and look at you for a while...
