Going Beyond the Veil
Long soaking time this week. We listened to Jesus Culture Live in Chicago for the most part;  The whole idea of soaking is to leave the world and its concerns outside and enter in. To incline our ears to hear what the LORD is saying.  Don and I discussed having more instrumental music.

Zachary - We prayed for Zachary (6 yr. old, with brain tumor//chemo) and Mindy Hoffman (mom)
Jean M - was back with us, she encouraged us that this (what we are doing) was about to explode and spread and that it was very important.

David P  - said that there was a presence or a light immediately appeared as I started to play, but when I left the room to tune the guitar it faded quickly.
Don – keyed in on the BOLDNESS
David - Shared a new song written on 4-15-2012  “There’s Glory Behind the Veil”  (see attached)
·         A veil remains over their heart so they cannot see Him
·         We all with unveiled faces behold him
·         Slip behind the veil so that you can come out from behind the veil filled with the power of the Spirit and With BOLDNESS be his witnesses.    

Christy Crouse – was with us this particular night and she was prepared to read out of II Corinthians 3:7-18 but she waited until after I shared this song.  

14 mentions of glory in vs. 7-11, 
Six times veil is mentioned in vs. 12-18


 If We Slip Behind the Veil...

 Verse 1
D                 A                Bm       G
There hung a veil in the ancient temple
D            A          G
It hid the face of God
        D                     A       Bm       G
The high priest could go but once a year
        D       A          D
And slip behind the veil

Chorus
                  G  D     A           D
And there's Glory behind the veil
                   G            D        A
Where he'd meet God face to face
              G                 D                A     D
In the presence of the Lord, there is liberty
         G        A         Bm
If we slip behind the veil
          G        A           D
Let us slip behind the veil


Verse 2
The Son of man came to earth
To reveal the face of God
The Father reached down and tore the Veil
So we could enter in

*Chorus 2 rewritten
There is Glory behind the veil
Where we meet Him face to face
Where the presence of the Lord is, there is liberty
If we slip behind the veil
Let's slip behind the veil         

Verse 3
When you meet TRUTH behind the veil
And hear His words to you
He will search your heart and renew your mind
When you slip behind the veil

Chorus 3
There is Glory behind the veil
And TRUTH will set you free
In the presence of the Lord, there is liberty
As TRUTH waits behind the veil
Let's slip behind the veil

Verse 4
When you meet LOVE behind the veil
And you look into His eyes
You will know His Love, it will melt your heart
When you slip behind the veil

Chorus 4
There is Glory behind the veil
And LOVE will change your heart
In the presence of the Lord, there is liberty
And LOVE waits behind the veil
Let's slip behind the veil

But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech—  unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.  But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.  Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  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 by the Spirit of the Lord. II Corinthians 3:7-18
I had no idea when I received this song that it was pulled right out of Scripture.
In history, the veil was to hide the face of God, to bar intimacy if you will. But in Christ the veil has been removed; now we can with open (unveiled) face beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord. We see His face of endearment, affection, and love, looking back at us, as though in a mirror, as though we have grown to look like Him. And the glory resident in our own open face reflects back the goodness of the Lord.  

If the temple veil was removed, why must WE in the new covenant slip behind the veil?
So we do not slip behind the veil of the old temple per se, but we slip behind the veil that defines the bridal relationship of intimacy and we press into seeing him whom our heart loves.
The veil now is the veil of the bridal chamber, where we have bold access 24/7/365 for eternity “ever present with the Lord” is our ultimate destiny. However, we live in a “real” world where we must still make a move to come into His presence. 

When we come to the Lord with an open (unveiled) face…  as after the wedding vows, 
when the veil is removed, the officiant says, 
“you may now kiss the bride”, 
the bride says “let Him kiss me 
with the Kisses of His mouth.

And we all with open (unveiled face) face… see Him as the only begotten full of grace and truth.  




Various writings from the past
The Road Not Taken
At Home In MNII Corinthians 3:7-18
New King James Bible
This is the text for this song although I did not know that all these thoughts were contained in this single passage until the first time I shared this song at a prayer meeting and Christie read from this scripture right after my sharing this song.

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about being given the key of David to open and no m

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible school was

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earlier,
