I See People, But I Feel God – The Hidden Meaning of John 14 : 20
by Nikki Walton of CurlyNikki.com
“In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.” – John 14:20
Read that line of scripture over and over until today becomes ‘that day’… the day you finally KNOW. The day you finally feel the truth that Jesus is in the Father. And you are in Jesus, and Jesus is in you. It’s not a riddle. It’s not poetry. It wasn’t intended only for the apostles 2000+ years ago. He’s speaking this truth to you right now. He promised us the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth who is writing these words through me right now for you, because it’s time.
There’s no separation left. No distance to cross. No distance to the Cross.
Only the Cross is here.
Only Love is here.
Only Fire is here.
Only the Blood is here.
Only Jesus is here.
Only the Holy Spirit is here.
ONLY JOY IS HERE.
ONLY JOY IS HERE.
ONLY JOY IS HERE.
And after the Cross… It spread everywhere.
Pick the one that burns up the fatigue. The burnout. The impatience. The doubt. The lack. The sickness. That body. That room. These words. This world.
When, with eyes open AND closed, you can know, ‘ONLY JOY IS HERE”… knowing that includes ‘you’, the one with that final thought… that thought gets thrown in the fire, too and now there’s just FIRE. Just JOY. No one to think of ways to get into It… or why they keep falling out of It… or why they can’t hold It… or why It seems to come and go. THERE’S ONLY JOY. Only the Light of His Face. Only the Love of God. Only Joy.
It’s like seeing… you see nothing. You become blind. I see this computer… but I FEEL LOVE. Does that makes sense? I see people, but I feel JOY. And in order to do that, the usual fear of being seen, of criticism, of judgement, the usual way of being you and gathering all the data points to hold that person in place… it must be quieted… it gets replaced with JOY JOY JOY.
If you were here with me, I’d see you, and enjoy your company, but the JOY would be more real than you and ‘me’, Nikki. It’s like you’re using everything, every encounter in the world as fuel for the Holy Fire. Give it all back to Him. Throw it all on the Fire. It all becomes Fire.
And in that Fire, nothing is lost… only revealed. Everything is brighter. Dare I say… better 😉
I only share all of this daily because, one, God gives me no choice, lol. But also, I wish I would’ve known this sooner. I knew Love was The Way. I knew Jesus was The Way. I looked for other ways tho, because of my experiences with the church and Christians when I was young… but none of those experiences had anything to do with Jesus!
He waited for me.
He made sure all roads I ventured down led me right back to Him. EVERY. SINGLE. ROAD. EVERY. SINGLE. RABBIT. HOLE. Even one of the final ones about His real name. If it mattered, we would call Him something different. It’s not the Name. This is semantics. Division. DISTRACTION. I played into that for a long time too, so there’s no judgement. This is about His Character, His Atmosphere, His Spirit, His Presence… and we were familiar with It LONG before we had words to cover over It… to apply to It. Now all we apply is The Precious Blood to everything. That’s God’s last card (in the words of David Oyedepo), and ours, too.
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” – Revelation 12 : 11
If Heaven overcame the enemy (we only have one enemy, never forget this… no matter if it looks like your neighbor and your boss and your cousin… it’s only that ancient serpent slipping into situations… don’t be fooled and don’t fight your neighbor… LOVE LOVE LOVE and watch the situation change!) by the Blood of the Lamb, we will, too. Only the Blood is here. Flood your whole house. Your whole office. Your whole spouse lol. Your whole life. And dam it up. Live this way today. Today is that day.
I love you,
nik
