LITTLE LETTER Nov/Dec 2007

Carl R. Schwing

One by one the Spirit is calling us to a great ingathering of the sons and daughters of the Lord. He would take us to a place within Himself where He will empty the vessels that we are.


For years we have had a burning desire to be filled with the Spirit; to be filled with the fullness of our Father and filled to the overflowing with the unconditional love and compassion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not that we should be anything in ourselves, rather that He would be everything in us. That we, through Him, might reach out and touch the hearts of Mankind. And in return they will offer up praise and glory to the Creator of all things.


When we have been completely emptied of all dividing forces; when there is nothing left in us to give and nothing left for us to desire, then we will be in the place of one mind and in one accord. Then we will be ready to be taken to the Upper Room of our Father's House.


Ah, the Upper Room of our Father's House. That is the dwelling place of the Wind, the Fire and the Word. It will be in this Room of Consecration that the Pentecost beyond the Sacred Page will take place. The glory and power of this in-filling will excel the Pentecost of the early church. It will transcend the Pentecost of the modern church. It will be the in-pouring of the full revelation of Jesus Christ within God's family of sons, then spoken by them, in the words of the Spirit, to all the peoples of the world.


Come, O Rushing Wind and shake Your Temple that we are; until nothing remains in us that can be shaken. Come, O Fire of the Spirit and purify and sanctify Your chosen vessels until we are holy, even as You are holy; until we are one in You. Then let us speak Your Word, O God, to all Creation until the New Heaven and New Earth appear, as You, the God of all creations, make all things new.


The Upper Room is our waiting place above and beyond: It is above all our hopes and beyond all our imaginings. It is where we wait in the hollow of His heart; waiting in His holy flames of love; waiting to proclaim the Word that was with the Father in the Beginning... of all beginnings.


The sacredness, beauty and solitude of that holy room will bring back memories of times and places long forgotten. It is the place where we found our Beloved and heard His voice in the Wind. It is where the Fire of love burned so passionately that our first Love, became our only Love. It is where the risen Word shone His light upon us blinding us to all else... to all others. It is where our Immortal Beloved will clothe us with the garments of immortality and light. It is where we wait to sit with our Beloved in our Father's throne.


They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31


How many times have we read this precious verse? It is filled with the positive assurance of the reward of those who wait upon the Lord. It also contains little jewels of truth hidden among its anointed words...

In the world waiting can be a very difficult thing to do. It can cause impatience, or stress, even anger. But in the realm of the Spirit to wait is to worship. The act of waiting strengthens our commitment, dedication and consecration to our Beloved. It stimulates our anticipation of the overwhelming peace and joy which overshadows us while in His presence. And in the Spirit-place of waiting, time does not exist; there is nothing and no one... just the lover for the Beloved.


If our Beloved should hide Himself, our waiting becomes a powerful force of the Spirit and He takes us upon His wings to the hiding place of our Beloved. And there, we run to meet Him and our hearts leap within us as He appears among the lilies. We walk together through His heavenly paradise and in the secret places among the stars we partake of the spirit converse and spirit love.


I exhort you, my brother-sister-sons, to continue to wait in the silence of His presence. Wait for the voice of the Lover of your soul. Wait, as His words are carried by the Rushing Wind into the depths of your heart. He speaks to us in many ways. He comes to us in many forms. And not only to us, but to all Mankind, in one way or another. Again I say wait... the Rushing Wind is moving among us and within us... He is moving over all the earth!


He is the great I Am; the only true and living God. He can hear our voices in the Rushing Wind. All that we are waiting for and moaning for is already completed in Him. There is not a thing we could ask from our Father which is not already ours in Christ Jesus. We just have not come into the reality of it, as yet.


Everything that has happened, or will happen, to us in life is our Father's way of drawing us closer to Him. Even death is but a portal to another phase of our life in Christ Jesus. Our Father is waiting for us, that He might return to us all that was ours when we were all together in His house. For He is the True and Faithful One.


When we are waiting in His presence, we are standing in the flames of Undying Love. For He is the Consuming Fire. There is no pain in the flames of His love, only glory. For He is the Consuming Fire of Transformation.


When we are waiting in His presence we are abiding in the glory light of the Word. He is the spoken Word. He is the written Word. He is the living Word. Now, He would reveal Himself to us as the unspoken Word. Each time we wait before Him, unknown to us, He gives us an unspoken word. Then, His Spirit takes the word and hides it with us, in Christ. In the appointed hour we will speak those hidden words and all the glory and power and magnificence of our Father will be released, like a mighty tidal wave upon all Creation. Divine wonders, never known by man nor angels, will appear. The transforming light of our eternal Beloved will shine UPON... INTO and OUT FROM, everyplace, everything and everyone that dwells in this New Beginning.


The earth will be as beautiful and wondrous as the Paradise of God. And the meek shall inherit the earth and live in peace and harmony with all living things. Once again the earth will be the Lord's and the fullness thereof.


Then, the Lord God, having filled all things with Himself, shall expand Himself into a new and higher and more glorious form of light and energy. And, He, with His Christ and His vast Council of Sons shall ascend into a higher dimension within the Godhead, which He had prepared before the Beginning of all beginnings.


Lift up your heads and rejoice ye Sons of God and all ye sons of man, for even now the wonder of these things is evolving from the center of God's infinite Being.
