“Don’t move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move.” -attributed to Rumi
You’ve accelerated in the Spirit. Love has you moving different. Feeling more called to prayer, addicted, even… to worship music, spiritual talks, staying in. We don’t do outside lol, unless it’s nature, then we outside! Repeating ‘Angel numbers’ send us running to the Bible, to the Living Word, instead of to the internet from random interpretations.
The old you was trying to become. The new you is. You walk slower but you get there faster. You talk less but your words carry major weight. You sit still and doors STILL OPEN… you’re STILL GOOD, even when you take the time to rest, or exercise your body, or feed it well. This is what it means to move with Love. This is what it means to be led by the Spirit.
You’re not trying to get somewhere anymore because you’ve realized you already are. You’re not forcing anything because Love doesn’t strive. It abides. You’re not begging God for signs because you are the sign, the evidence of His mercy moving through a human timeline. You just jumped timelines, tho.
You’ve been promoted in the Spirit
You can tell because what used to excite you now feels small. You look back on old journals and remember writing those affirmations and now thank God He didn’t give you many of those things. You don’t even know where that version of you is that wanted those things. Desire is still present. It will be there til the last breath, but it’s for Him, first and foremost. You are trusting that as long as you have Him, you can’t go without. In fact, having Him, means you can help others achieve their needs and goals.
What used to drain you can’t even reach you, now, like you changed your number (I did lol) or your address. If you haven’t yet, God likely will soon! You crave silence more than noise, solitude more than approval, prayer more than performance. You’re being baptized in fire, washed in His Blood, refined for your next assignment. It’s time.
“Be still, and know that I am God.” -Psalm 46:10
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” -Exodus 14:14
“The Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” -Romans 8:26
These verses live in you now. They’re not scriptures you read, they’re realities you breathe. Dimensions that have made themselves known- that you pass in and out of and back into this world, carrying the power with you. You can’t explain it, but you know it: the more you pray, the more peace finds you. The more you worship, the lighter everything feels. You’ve tasted the Presence, and now nothing else satisfies… it’s all sand castles… or like writing on water.
Love has you moving differently
Love isn’t an emotion… it’s motion itself. It’s THE FEELING. It’s LIGHT… the reality, everything else is darkness… the seeming absence of It. It’s the current that carries you when your feet are tired (it carried me through my 4-mile walk today haha!). It’s the reason you still wake up early to pray. The reason your heart breaks for people who hurt you- you barely take anything personal anymore.The reason you can no longer move like fear moves.
You used to react. Now you respond. You used to protect your peace. NOW YOU ARE PEACE. You used to plan. Now you perceive… you discern movement in the Spirit. Love rewired your instincts. Love trained your spirit. You don’t reach for things anymore, things reach for you because you dwell in Him, and He draws all things unto Himself. THIS IS REAL POWER. Your life is about to change in ways you never could’ve imagined.
You’ve been baptized in Fire
Fire doesn’t destroy gold; it reveals it. He is revealing you right now. Washing away with Him Precious Blood everything that isn’t you, everything that can’t cross into the next level. DON’T LOOK BACK.
“The Lord your God is a consuming fire.” -Deuteronomy 4:24
“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” -Matthew 24:13
“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” -2 Corinthians 5:17
This is new life. You are the new creature in Christ. You died. He lives where you appear to be. It’s His life now. His time to fulfill the promise AS you. You can’t help but move the way Loves move. He’s the reason you are desiring to eat better, and take care of that body- it’s His Temple. You’ve got to be solid for what is coming. You haven’t seen anything yet. He’s just getting started. This is acceleration.
