For the Hungry:

O God of our hearts, Move us beyond the milk of our infancy. Mature and strengthen our temples to hold the solid food of the Kingdom.

Hebrews, the 6th Chapter: “Therefore, let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of the faith in God, instructions about baptism, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do so.”
(Vs.1-3).

These are the elementary teachings… these are what He considers the MILK of our faith.
Is this revealed to us, that we might press further into these things- the movement beyond instruction to action being the solid food? Or is there something more? God, what is Solid Food if this is all Milk?

As I was asking this question of my Father, I was drawn into a vision: It was midnight and there was a call. Suddenly a host of angelic forms surrounded me and lifted me up to the Heavenlies. It was never said, my heart knew that it was the appointed time for the feast… the Wedding Banquet because I was dressed for it… even though I had been asleep when the call came. As the gates opened before me, I caught wind of the most wonderful aroma I had ever smelled. My heart beat faster at what incredible feast must be awaiting. As I entered the Banquet room, I looked at the table before me….and what my eyes beheld was My Jesus lying on the table. He was the feast. Ha! He was the portion. He was the appointed feast my heart had been groaning for this entire time.

The following day, I had another vision: It was midnight again. Everything that happened in the first vision happened in the second vision. Except when I got to the gate to the Banquet room, the doors opened and instead it was the Bed Chambers of Jesus! That was the feast!

Could it be that the Solid Food that we are being moved into is the revelation of His lovesickness for us and our portion is the movement of His lovesickness for us propelling our hearts into a deeper lovesickness for Him that we have never felt, heard, tasted, or known before? Could this be our Solid Food. It’s not action – its not works, fruit, ministry… it’s Him. He is our food.

If we don’t surrender the Milk and its physical manifestation of it’s nourishment to go after true Solid Food the Milk will only sour. O God, feed us Yourself. You want to give us more of Yourself.

Without revelation of this Solid Food, we will not be able to offer Milk to anyone else.
This is the OIL of the virgins who slept though their hearts were awake. This is the revelation of Elkana’s love for Hannah though she was barren. We must get this. Maturity is not found in ministry of resurrection or healing or church planting or anything that speaks of fruit on our trees… Maturity is found in the Secret Place with Him; with Jesus, our Solid Food. The Pursuit of the Knowledge of the Holy… Our Lover… that’s what I am after.
