Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore! 1 Chronicles 16:11 NKJV
Dear local and global friends of Come Rest,
Last Friday many friends of Come Rest had an overwhelmingly powerful
experience of the Lord’s presence at our first Awakening of Love worship
gathering of 2015. As per last week’s email, we declared 2015 to be His
Year of His Rest for His People. He is igniting more hunger for His presence in
His people worldwide. His answer for intimidation by the enemy is intimate
victorious rest with Him!
Later in the evening our worship leader Deb Polk asked my wife Kim to
read Isaiah 32. Kim felt suddenly led by the Spirit to begin singing the
scriptures as the Spirit gave her a new tune. As Kim kept singing, Deb,
vocalist Joy Mees, and violinist Bryce Christiansen began harmonizing in the
Spirit. I got on my face and many others came forward and a hushed sense of awe
came upon us all. We had a sense that the great cloud of witnesses and angelic
hosts were drawing close. It was very precious, very deep, very loving.
This Wednesday I had a powerful encounter with Him in which the Holy
Spirit led me to cry aloud, “Jesus, the desire of my life is to seek Your
face in the light of Your flaming heart.” With my eyes closed I saw
His face lit up by flames coming out of His heart. Jesus’ face and Jesus fiery
heart have long been two separate images through which He has drawn me close.
Now the two images have been fused into one.
No matter how weak I am, He is strong in me to help me come up to Him
and stay up in His face of grace, in His heart of love. I must seek His face
evermore! I must spent much more time alone with Him in scripture, prayer, and
praise-- and much less time with people. He wants me to give Him more time and
space in my life so He can more thoroughly transform me. If I do this, then His
concentrated Power will flow much more from me to people when I am with them.
He wants me to spend more time writing in His presence. He wants to help more
people come up into His presence through this next book.
He is waiting to show me things in the spiritual realm I have never seen
before. He wants me to come up because He loves me. He wants me to come up so
He can help other people through me—like never before. Please pray for me.
He is waiting for you, too. Because He loves you. Because He wants to
touch people through you. Is the desire of your life to seek Jesus’ face in the
light of His flaming heart? If so, let me know. I will pray for you. Ask Him to
help you seek His face continually and you will be ignited by His flaming
heart. Seek the Lord and His strength with me; seek His face ever…more!
Love and blessings,
Richard Speight
