The Sound of Silence

“Lord,” replied Caleb. “It is Your Spirit in me that has allowed me to do these deeds.”

“It is your willingness and your servant’s heart. It is your love for Me and your love for man’s soul that allows My Spirit to work in you,” replied the Son.

“Lord, Your words mean everything to me. Your words are life.

Without Your words, my heart would stop and my breath would cease. You are my God. I live for You, and I will die for You,” said Caleb.

The Son reached over, hugged Caleb, and said, “I know you would,

Caleb. I know.”

Caleb fell to the ground again in worship saying, “Holy! Oh, holy! Oh, holy!”

The Son knelt down in front of Caleb and said, “We need you to do something for Us.” Just as the Son finished speaking, a lion charged up to

Him and knocked Him over licking and wanting to play. Caleb jumped to his feet and began to run when he heard the Son. He turned and looked to see the Son laughing.

The Son said to the lion, “Not now, not now. We’ll play later.” He got up and said to Caleb, “Come, walk with Me.” As they walked, the lion walked with them.”

 

The above is taken from the story, “The Sound of Silence” from, “The Caleb Chronicles”

The Timeless-One has brought Caleb to the edge of heaven to speak to him face to Face.

Caleb tells the Son, Jesus that, “It is Spirit in me that has allowed me to do these deeds.”

Then, Jesus replies, “It is your willingness and your servant’s heart. It is your love for Me and your love for man’s soul that allows My Spirit to work in you.”

 

You see, it is the Spirit of the Timeless-One that gives us the power to pray, to forgive, to teach the word, to lead, to follow, to heal, to cast out demons, to be understanding, to be bold, to be gentle, to be kind, to have faith, to LOVE.

But, God will not push it on us; we have to be willing to accept this Power with a servant’s heart. Just as Jesus came to serve and to do the will of the Father, so we must follow His example.

As for the Son laughing and playing with a lion, well we are made in His image and likeness. So, if we play and laugh, it seems to reason our Lord would have these characteristics as well.

Psalm 2:4He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The LORD shall hold them in derision.

 

He laughs at men’s so called wisdom and rebellion, but I think He laughs with joy as well.          

Selah, I.H.G.
