Going into the Deeper….

By: Hannah S. Hunter

Daniel 2:22 "It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him.

Job 38:16-17 "Have you entered into the springs of the sea Or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been revealed to you, Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?”

When GOD first gave me the vision for the name of the ministry, HE had me form, I saw HIM taking a saltshaker and pouring these aromatic spices and herbs all over the earth filled with people. Team Seasoned Heart! Just for amazement go study how some of your favorite rare spices are harvested. Some put the harvester’s life at risk. Some are only in deep waters among razor sharp coral or sea creatures lurking.

Yesterday as I was in corporate worship I was overcome when I saw the LORD moving on our behalf. He was diving deep into waters that had never seen the light of the sun, but the Son brought the light. I saw Him scooping up treasures and precious spices and swimming to the surface. I saw HIM shake His holy head to clear the water from His eyes and hair. The look on His face was pure joy and glee.

As I stood to preach I had to speak to myself and my face not to weep as I looked out and saw women whose husbands abandoned them, or were living with a second wife on another land, single mums with their babies tied to their backs serving me or the church at large. Or the man who comes without his wife and had sustained injuries that still were painful from a car accident. Many struggling to make a life. I realized He, Jesus, had gone into the deep for them to bring hope and reveal what they did not know.

Oh, our only hope is in Him. He is the living Word. We opened the Bible to ll Timothy two. These are not just words they are living and breathing. That Word was with GOD at the very beginning. He was there at the middle and HE will never leave us or forsake us. HE will be there at the end speaking on our behalf. We must read, embrace, eat, and chew this Word to survive and overcome.

ll Timothy 2:19a (NLT) “But God’s truth {HIS Word} stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his.” I am so glad we are inscribed with His name and our foundation stone if Jesus.

This season He is after the things deep in our foundations, our lineage, our culture. He is determined to bring them up to the surface and look meticulously at them. Things that have blocked our release, brought offense, and generally held us running in place with little progress.

I was hearing about the trade winds in the Indian Ocean that were changing course and causing the deep, dark, cold, and roiling water to be thrust to the surface. It has caused shaking and shifts in weather patterns and possible even contributed to incubation of these locusts plaguing East Africa.

Yet I also see the angels assigned to the winds standing in the four corners and shaking the winds like you do a fresh clean sheet to be fitted on your bed-your place of rest and intimacy. I love how my God is involved in all His creation. Things are being stirred up in the deep oceans for His pleasure and glory. The thrones of the water demons are being displaced and shaken to the core.

Some of the most wounded rejected saints are the ones whose faithful and desperate prayers are moving the hand of God, putting weapons in the hands of the angels and saints. The hidden and overlooked are about to arise and be the army that ushers in the greatest move of God. Things we dreamed with God for years but feared would never come to pass now are overtaking us and moving us to awe with no words.

Rise up! Hold fast! Plunge into the deeper…Keep your eyes on the prize- Him.
