A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse,
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him--
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD--
and he wil delight in the fear of the LORD. Isa. 11.
Mouthing this into the night with Joanne.
the planting!
Round and Reson.
i know a boy who this is about.
she knows a boy too.
Knowing.
this is him like a locked room.
like a basement.
come into the basement!
root.
God give root. the heftiness of it.
the unblinkingness of it,
like it is knocking to come out.
inevitable.
The Lord planting this in my heart.
The Holy Spirit groaning.
The root, the root, I have been praying for the root.
G*dMom, do you remember when you first wrote your story? and we were editing and speaking over the part about how the Word gets inside and reworks your spirit, how it like, renovates, and almost moves bones or moves the ceiling inside--how the Word enters like a piece of somewhere and goes in your somewhere and pushes in and finds dwelling, and things get pushed aside and new arrangements are made? Do you remember how we fumbled for words but we knew it was like architecture? with structure.
It's got something to do with complete new rooms, with hardiness.
Last night these words pressed like a foot in my Innermost, set down like a foot in the room, like knees bent and folded--bent like a person on their knees, with a bowed-head bowed. waiting and seated. on the ground, in him, this spirit waiting to walk. almost ambulatory.
Dictionary.com says this of ambulatory:
1. adapted for walking
2. moving about or from place to place; not stationary:
3. not confined to bed; able or strong enough to walk:
4. Law. not fixed; alterable or revocable: ambulatory will.
5. Law That can be changed or revoked, as a will during the life of the testator.
Ambulatory will. when the law inside that can be changed. not confined to bed. a shoot.
This Spirit heavy cloaking and beneath and of the very mud and roof. it has nothing to do with prodding, with imbalance, with thing set out in extended or unnatural places. It is all about the righteous place, the right place.
The Mightiness of this man with the Spirit can only make such a shoot break through!
because I have seen it, it is very much him
the wisdom, the knowledge,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Power! the Spirit of counsel!
the branch.
