My Life Changed Instantly When I Realized This
by Nikki Walton of CurlyNikki.com
“The Lord has given the Holy Spirit upon the earth, and in whomsoever He dwells, that one feels paradise within himself. You might say: why hasn’t this happened to me? Because you have not given yourself over to the will of God, but you live according to yourself.” – Saint Silouan the Athonite
You know how right now you’re breathing, but you weren’t paying attention to it until I brought it to your attention? God’s here… He’s been here… but you weren’t paying attention to Him. He’s even subtler than your breath. But He’s in your breath. He moves your breath. He moved you to this moment, to this site, to this article, to remember to SIT UP.
And in that sitting up, that sudden inner straightening, that awareness…
that’s no longer just “you.”
That’s Him in you, and you in Him.
That’s power.
This is the posture of someone who moves mountains… of someone who can put flesh on bones… of someone who can multiply loaves and find coins in the mouths of fish. You feel as if you just sat up… as if nothing has changed. But the instant you remember it’s not you, it’s Him in you… Nothing is impossible anymore. Whatever you were worried about, whoever you were worried about… whatever needs healing or restoring or fixing or changing… He’s here now. And that’s between Him and whatever that is. It’s His Business. You’re back in a child’s place lol. A spoiled one 🙂
When I sit down to write and ask Him, ‘what do you want me to say’, I do it habitually, reflexively… instantly, the remembrance comes, like I wake up… and it’s Him. He’s already here. Which means the message is already here. And then I watch the keys fly. I’m still here consciously, but the thoughts flow like a river of Grace. And they flow without end. What is yours, will flow without end. Your domain, your talent, the unique way He will come through you- that will support you.
We need you.
We need everything you carry.
Everything He put in you.
Offer yourself to Him.
Place yourself on the altar.
Burn for Him…
until there’s nothing left but Him.
And give us what you came to give.
I love you,
nik
p.s. I’m so serious. When you stop in the middle of your usual prayer… that tired prayer lol, and sit up as HIM in you… you’ll smile and continue… maybe in English… maybe in the language only He understands. Either way… you’ll know it’s done. DONE-DONE. If you take nothing else from this article… take this. Screenshot this. He gets His way. You don’t always get yours. So stop being just ‘you’. Feel Him in you. Know He’s in you and be That in the world! MOVE THEM MOUNTAINS!
