September is our ninth month in the Gregorian calendar and almost always represents birthing to me. What if what we are birthing this month is born through a different type of travail? Travails that are so painful as a result of hearts desperately sick with love. Do we agonize over the separations from our Bridegroom King? Would we endure beatings and bruises for Him? Do we truly long for more of Him in such a way that we would yield to this cost?

It was April 8, 2014 between 4:00 a.m. and 5 a.m. when I heard the Lord speak to me these words, “The burden of the Lord is this: that My people would know Me not only in the fellowship of My suffering, but also in the beauty of My holiness. A new wind is coming, one that you have not felt before, it comes from the mouth of God and is the Breath and Life of Heaven. It is a wind of yearning, to carry you up and close to Myself.” After hearing the Lord’s Voice, I went into a vision of ascension.

On the Hebrew calendar we are in the decade of Pey representing the mouth. Recently the Lord brought this encounter to my remembrance and I believe for “such a time as this”. Yes we are the Lord’s mouthpieces, but I believe there is a drawing into the Beauty of Holiness through His breath. The breath of Heaven is our Bridegroom’s kiss; He longs for us, to revive us with His holy kiss and as we breathe in Ruach “on fire”to experience true beauty – we are made alive and revived in the Beauty of His holiness that carries us up and closer, drawing us into union with Him. This is the passion of Christ. He longs and yearns for us, do we long for Him?

I propose we are entering a complete new season of intimacy with God that the world has not seen. We will be marked by the purest Love that we have ever known, where transformed hearts consumed with their Bridegroom King yearn for His nearness, and with the most sincere and devout adoration, count nothing as loss for Him. The birthing and travails that are coming upon us will lend a new and deeper revelation of the Spirit and the Bride. They will work together as One; they see the Lamb’s split side, and in union join together to quickly restore the Bride as they cry “Maranatha Come!”

“Oh Lord, Come!”

”The watchmen who go about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took my veil and my mantle from me. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am sick from love [simply sick to be with him]. [Ps. 63:1.]“ ‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

”As I walked throughout the city in search of him, the overseers stopped me as they made their rounds. They beat me and bruised me until I could take no more. They wounded me deeply and removed my covering from me. Nevertheless, make me this promise, you brides-to-be: if you find my beloved one, please tell him I endured all travails for him. I’ve been pierced through by love, and I will not be turned aside!“ Song of Songs‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭TPT‬‬

”“Come,” says the Holy Spirit and the Bride in divine duet. Let everyone who hears this duet join them in saying, “Come.” Let everyone gripped with spiritual thirst say, “Come.” And let everyone who craves the gift of living water come and drink it freely. “Come.”“ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭17‬ ‭TPT‬‬
