The Oil of Intimacy

Today I noticed oil coming from the fingertips of my left hand. I have experienced this a few times in worship but never before during my daily activities. I didn't just experience this once but three times today. As I was reflecting on it I felt God say that it was symbolic of a new season of intimacy. Christ is consecrating His bride for He desires to draw us deeper into Him in this coming season. We are to accept the anointing of Christ and enter into the Holy of Holies. Christ desires to impart the fullness of heaven to us. If we are willing to submit ourselves to Him and to give up everything else then we will experience the fullness that God has for us.

I feel that 2011 is going to be a Levitical year for many of us. It is going to be a year where God will draw us into the secret place and teach us more about what it means to serve him. Many of us know what it means to minister to others. But as priests we are also meant to minister before God. And as sons and daughters that is our truest and most high calling.

(Note: Before anyone gets overly excited about oil from heaven, and heads over here with a bucket, this is a mere secretion and not a gushing stream. It is something that can be felt but not seen. A blessed manifestation but not anything to glorify. It is a mere sign that God gives me from time to time.)
