THE HOLY OF HOLIES

Journal Entry October 4, 2010

Come into the Holy of Holies, enter by the Blood of the lamb. Oh the exquisite presence of God. There is nothing like being plunged into His depth. Jesus invited the Samaritan woman sitting at the well to drink of the sparkling, restoring and ever abundant water that is available to any who seek for it. How I’ve gone through life for so long with minimal amounts of this Holy Ghost drenching, is beyond me, but I believe that God is giving to me my request for depth.

. My pastor, spiritual mentor and friends, Sandra Gonzalez left an answering machine message a few months ago,

"Anita, enter into the Holy of Holies as often as possible.”

I accept this invitation to enter uncharted spiritual termites. God has not disappointed me and Paul, the apostle spoke about being rooted and grounded. In this rooting we discover the depth width and breadth of God’s love for us, so deep, in fact, that unless we tunnel like an oil drill, we cannot fathom the mysteries of God. Paul was transported out of his body and saw magnificent attributes of God that left Him speechless and without physical strength! They were so marvelous that he could barely remember them or describe them in great depth.

Yesterday, leading worship, I felt gears switching as Holy Spirit flowed sweetly. A geyser suddenly swept over the worshipers and I was also swept into prophetic worship mode. Over and over, I strummed the A maj7th to C maj 7th chords. God’s words flowed from my tongue, not following any progression. By the time an hour had passed, we were caught in rapture of our Abba Father’s sweet anointing. All I was an empty conduit for Holy Ghost to flow through. Pastor Sandra was so weak from the anointing as she closed the service and thanked me for allowing the Lord to flow through me.

Of course, I had nothing at all to do with His goodness and mercy. I just wanted Him to have free access and flow. Amazing that the enemy tried to stop me from leading worship at Pastor Sandra’s church, by disabling my car. But God cannot be stopped. He had His way as I caught a ride with another church family from Full Gospel.

The enemy still tried to impede God’s anointing by causing our equipment to have problems. When I arrived at the church, Mark was struggling with getting my guitar pedals to work. Feedback blasted from the speakers. Nonetheless, God’s living rivers cascaded over us, irrespective of the technical problems.

His presence intensified as we worshiped and we could feel His overwhelming love. I’m just scraping the surface of what God has for me as a prophetic worship leader. Joel prophesied that in the last days, God’s people would dream dreams and have visions. A fresh new outpouring of His spirit iscoming to drench us, but we won’t experience that flow until we plunge into Him!

In my dissatisfaction with surface praise, I ask Holy Spirit to draw me closer and to hunger for His presence. I find myself worshiping Him more and more often during the day. He obliges, to my joy and I receive greater revelations of what he has in store for me. My prayers are more powerful and my faith is more confident. I’m seeing God move in every area.

So this is what going deeper means! Why many Christians are not thirsty for this deep water is beyond me. We will see stunning manifestations of His glory and might when we take on an Elijah faith stance. We must ask him for a double portion of His anointing. Elijah prayed that it would not rain. And there was a famine in the for over three years. If all of God’s children sought to have authoritative prayers like Elijah, how we would push back the evil tide of Satan’s works on this planet.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus, amen!
