RADICAL LOVE



          As we remain in the cleft of the Rock, we will discover the covenantal

          promises of God to be sweet like honey- steadfast, sure, unchanging,
          and eternal. This will revive us when the going gets tough. ( See Psalm

          81:16). If we press deep into the cleft of this Rock, we will unearth deep
          riches of wisdom and knowledge and bring forth hidden truths from the

          Word.


          If we dwell in the Rock, we will receive of the oil preserved within it,
          which is necessary to keep the light of Christ burning fervently within

          us. Similarly, just as Moses and the Israelites drank water from the

          “For you are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock. It was I who took
          you and hid you up high in the secret stairway of the sky…”


          Again, this refers to her being called to ascend from the confines of the

          earthly realm up to the third heaven, where Christ rules and reigns, and
          to understand her true position in Him—that in Christ, she is seated in

          the heavenly realms, far above every principality and power. It is also
          the place of spiritual revelation. We gain access to this place by faith,

          and that faith, when aligned with  pure praise and worship,  leads  to
