The True KING [post 47]

I spoke from I Samuel 12 today. I was thinking about how the true KING doesn't need to flex His KINGly muscles. He doesn't get involved with expressing his personal glory like the kings of the earth. No gold statutes, no bridges, no roads, no buildings named for him. Little human men look around and say He's not there as if they think that would do anything. They shoot their words up into the air but never notice their words have fallen to the ground and are lying all around them like so many dead flies. The true KING goes on about His chosen business. Such otherly greatness and mystery.


The Holy Spirit came today while we worshipped through song. There was power and passion that became an awesome stillness like distant heat lightning. It felt like flashes with no sound. Just stillness. A deep stillness. Then someone erupted in praise and thanksgiving. A screaming single voice proclaiming His greatness.


It was electric.
