"Facetime"


I was thinking of the extroverts posting on Facebook how they need people! Just can't stand it! Introverts are saying the quarantine is great for them- alone time. The body of Christ is saying we need to gather, and we are all gathering in new ways.

I’m the picture of an introvert and am enjoying being able to study, pray and make a legacy scrapbook for my offspring. I need people too  - but what I need from people is not just surface interactions - NOT just being in a crowd, but face-to-face, substantial, deep, meaningful conversation. The kind where you are heard, understood. I suspect extroverts feel this need too.

It’s great to connect via social media. So many are posting meaningful and encouraging  things! It’s not the same. Empathy and understanding don’t really transmit. I want FACE-TO-FACE!  But not just face-to-face physically but heart-to-heart also!

The Lord reminded me of the prophecy given at our church on 2/2/20.

At the time it was given, the song "Behold Jehovah, seated on the throne was playing".
"The Lord would say
If you Dare.
Let me put my hands directly on your face.
As I cup my hands before you, place your faith and your face in my hands.
Now, look! into my eyes.
Look deep into my eyes.
What do you see?
Love
Power
Concern
Let me take my thumbs and wipe away your tears.
Let me show you what I have protected you from thus far.
Let me embrace you.
Look into my eyes.
As you see ME, SO
 I will put in you my power through my Holy Spirit who will dwell within your hearts.
My healing, my healing hands which touch your face
You shall take that and touch the sick and they shall recover
Holiness will increase
You will go forth as a mighty army, not for your own sake but for My sake.
But if you dare,
Let your face rest in my hands.
Don't pull back from me.
But look continually into my eyes
See what I have for you.
See what I have for you

HE IS OUR FACE-TO-FACE - our "Facetime"  IF WE DARE!
