I Am Worthy of it All

I hear the phrase, “There is no one like our God” every once in a while.  Today, in church, we sang a song with those sentiments.  Like so many other songs we repeat because they sound spiritual and true, I wondered if I could sing it with the enthusiasm of the others in the room.  That’s because it raises new thoughts and questions for me.

You see, I don’t think like I used to, and it is causing me to have an uncomfortable feeling.  But hey, I’m getting used to that, and I am okay with the exploration of ideas.  The other song we sang was, “You are worthy of it all”.  God certainly is, but for over a year, I have been hearing the words of that song, in Jesus’ voice singing them to me.  Except maybe the phrase, “for from you are all things”….in that case it would be “for from YOU are all things”.  Given that, I think God wants me to know something.

Maybe I will just share how my mind works.  We were singing, “There is no one like our God” and my mind was saying, “That is not the whole truth!” There is a people group in the earth that is a lot like our God.  If we keep singing songs like this, we will never believe it.  There is a company of people who are co-equal heirs.  There is a group, the members of which are ambassadors of another kingdom.  There are ones who are known in heaven as sons of God, who have been made in His image and likeness.  When are we going to sing songs about that?  Are we too afraid of offending God or being struck down for our presumption?  I don’t usually get upset, but I started crying; grieving actually.  We really need new songs for a new understanding.  Language takes us places.  It is one of the keys for advancement. We need new song writers with a new sound that will move us into applying truth to ourselves.

What if we believe the Bible?  What if we take some time and really explore how BIG we are?  What if we get a revelation of how powerful and gifted and how much we are worth to God?  Jesus became a worm so I could be a butter fly!  Fly, butterfly, fly!  That is one of my prophetic words!  What does it mean to fly like a butterfly!   In a dream, I heard God’s voice talking to someone about me and He said, “I would like to see her fly a little, knowing she is at home there”.  I am doing my best to see what that looks like for me. 

I think I am doing my best to spread my wings and soar, but maybe I am really in the stage where the butterfly just comes out of the chrysalis and has an abdomen extended because it is full of fluid.  Maybe I am just pregnant with a concept.  The butterfly has to spread his wings and flap them to pump the fluid into the wings so they can expand.   Then he has to exercise them to strengthen them and create the proper camber or convexity for the wings to work properly.  Without this step, the wings would just hang down and be soft and floppy.

Another interesting thing that happens after the butterfly emerges is the fusing of the tongue into one unit.  The butterfly emerges with a somewhat forked or two parallel tongues.  They must be aligned or zipped together.  That allows it to be used as a drinking straw to sip nectar from flowers, or even to absorb liquid like a paper towel.

This may be where I really am in my butterfly process.  I am in the aligning and zipping my tongue phase.  Now you can laugh at that and agree that I need to zip my tongue, but not for obvious reasons.  I am thinking that I need to have unified declarations and not talk out of both an old and a newer understanding.  So, right now I declare that I am worthy of it all.  I am worthy of it all. From Him are all things and through me are all things.  I am His glory. 

How can I say that?  2 Cor. 3:17-18: Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.  If that isn’t enough then here is another verse: John 17:22: I have given them the glory that you gave me… When we look into the mirror Who is Jesus, we see ourselves reflected in glory.  That is who we are; His glory! So, I am going to align and zip my tongue to declare one sound over myself.  I am worthy of it ALL! 

We are worthy of it ALL.  Let’s create a company mindset that will explore the more inside each one of us.  Let’s come fully alive to how much bigger we are than we ever imagined.  Let’s hang together and tell stories of Who God showed Himself to be when we believed how big we could be.  Let’s challenge each other to take the Bible for granted.  If He has granted us promises, why can’t we take them for granted?

I have discarded the chrysalis.  I know I have.  Everything is different.  I am never going back there!  I just don’t fit!
