Hit Me Again
Here I am sitting innocently, working on switching over the pricing from one promotion to another. Not really paying close attention to the Bible that I'm listening to, suddenly something pops into my ears.
Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"
Luke 7:14 NIV
Wow, this hit me like a brick again today. I actually had to sit there for several seconds and allow the power of the feeling to sink in. It felt like there was a pressure all around my head, especially on my forehead. This verse is really powerful to me. I wrote about it already once. If there is a verse to slay me, this is one of them. Though, I admit there are many others. I'm amazed this particular verse had the power to move me. I don't know how to explain it. It seems as though the voice of Jesus is speaking these same words to me... and the same authority of His voice that can raise dead to life can somehow punch my soul. It's amazing!
I'd love to be slain by the sword, the Bible, the precious Word of God. If I was to die, I'd love it to be in this way. Not because it is evil and will murder me... but because it is so divine and powerful that I can barely stand it! His words are like silver refined seven times by fire!
