Have you ever heard anyone say they just know that they know….? I’ve always said this is okay for the person knowing but it’s not a very good explanation to those who might want to know why or how or for someone wanting to share in the knowing. I’ve shared recently that I’ve had a couple of times of knowing intensively, to the innermost part of my being that Abba is good, feeling it till it spilled over into laughter and dance. I can now say recently I’ve known beyond hope, beyond tangible evidence that what He’s told me is without a doubt a done deal. It’s an intensity of experiencing the knowledge which spills over into a leaping of my spirit into thanksgiving beyond anything I’ve personally ever known. It’s as if faith leapt beyond all doubt beyond reason that says if I do this, if others do that then He can or He will…Perhaps it’s being able to suddenly see, feel and taste the evidence of what has to this point been unseen but promised, hoped for (Heb. 11:1) Trying to explain it is hard but since I am one that would love for others to explain what they experience in order to maybe get hints for my own process I’m trying here. I suppose it’s that faith has finally morphed into simple knowing, no question, no using faith to fight because you’ve set down faith for having seen it in spirit and you know its truth. Knowing it is true the praise, thanksgiving erupts in a torrent like a volcanic explosion of such force that it rocks your world but at the same time its intense heat melds your world together. Spirit and flesh meet on equal ground where believing becomes knowing and that knowing becomes experiencing (before hand) what has been promised and that experiencing is such a foretaste that you are then transported to a place of sheer grace where all creation is praising Him for it goes far beyond a single persons worship; it’s as if you were for a brief moment the mouth piece for all the praise that has and is going up. It’s finding me outside myself in that moment but never more fully being myself because praising Him is one of the inherent reasons for us to be in existence. This process I’ve tried to explain brings forth such a pure praise to Him for it is praise simply for Who He is (essence) more than for what one is expecting, it’s like a light suddenly comes on, a veil drops and you are praising Him because of Who He is, for the Who that gave the promise not because of the promise given. In that intense time of knowing you know Him a bit more than ever before and well that makes you praise and that leads to more knowing/experiencing and that leads to more praise……..
