In the midst of a fervent time of prayer, I sensed the Lord speaking about intimacy, and the idea of “oneness”. He pointed out that it was the Father’s oneness with His Son that reconciled mankind back to Him. That it is our oneness with the Son that allows us to become His heirs. That our oneness with His Holy Spirit allows us to experience the abundant life here and now. And that our oneness with each other (as the body) is what allows Christ to be revealed on the earth. Ultimately, through these intimate connections, new life comes forth.
Then, He said that a seed had been deposited within us; that He had “impregnated us” with something new.
And while that seemed very hopeful, I quickly sensed a troubling question, “Will you carry this seed to full term?”
The Lord reminded me that we live in a time in which the unborn are easily disposed of, and He said that “the church” is just as likely to abort the things He is trying to birth in the spiritual realm, as the world is in the natural realm.
He showed me that many abortions happen as a matter of convenience, while others happen because of fear. Some aren’t willing to endure the pain, others lack commitment to the relationship which resulted in the pregnancy, and still others because they don’t want family or friends to know who they’ve been with.
I sensed the Lord say that these are the same kinds of things that cause the church to cut off the new life He’s desired to bring about within it.
While conception is a miraculous beginning, it is simply the start of a season of feeding, growth and development that precedes the actual birth. What happens within that season determines whether a healthy live birth will take place.
The question isn’t whether God desires intimacy with us; or whether that intimacy will lead to reproduction; but whether we are willing to endure the process and carry the promise to fruition.
