Spiritquakes

It is very hard to describe what it feels like to be touched by God. It may happen anytime while listening to a sermon; or as you read the bible; or when you are listening to a song, worshiping, or even during that tough situation when you just give up and just call on the name of Yeshua.

His touch is indescribable. The closest analogy can be made with that of an earthquake.

We humans are constantly hammering the earth’s crust with sledge hammers, drills and huge tunnel making machines. But no matter what we do at one point on the earth’s surface makes no difference to any other point. This is exactly what it is like when we depend upon our own works and tangible feelings. We may do something and feel good about it or we may feel good about doing something but such feelings are restricted to the flesh realm and may go a little deeper into the soul realm and become instituted as a memory.

Now let us look at an earthquake. Every earthquake starts at a small movement of tectonic plates or small shifts in the earth’s core and as a result entire nations are shaken up, cities reduced to rubble and oceans devour mighty structures.

Similarly, when we feel the touch of Yahweh, we feel it in our spirit and just one touch is enough to reverberate through the soul and the flesh realms and burst out of our mouths in a song….our limbs cannot contain the love and begin to move in a triumphant dance….our eyes cannot contain the joy they overflow with tears. The feeling comes from within, it becomes more than a memory…..it becomes a turning point. “Metanoea” the Greek word used for repentance means change the way you think. Only a touch from the God can bring about true repentance and only the Holy Spirit can help fulfil what Paul talked about in Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to the world but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND.”

Only the Lamb of God who took away our sins (John 1:29) can cause a change from INSIDE OUT.

“So that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!”

2 Corinthians 5:17 (LITV)
