Song of Solomon 5

Song of Solomon 5:2 "I sleep, but my heart is awake;
It is the voice of my beloved! 
He knocks, saying,“ Open for me, my sister, my love, 
My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with
dew, 
My locks with the drops of the night.” 
My dear friend Martha and I were leading a worship set at the
 prayer room together the other day and the presence of
 God was so strong.  She sang out of Song of Solomon
5. It reminded me of an encounter that I had with
the Lord in January.  It touched my heart in a very
 deep way...  After a long season of intense pain and 
not understanding what was happening to me the Lord spoke out of Song of Solomon 5. In that moment clarity 
and revelation came...It was one the most beautiful 
days of my life. I sobbed for hours. If you have never 
read Song of Solomon 5 please read it and mediate on 
it.  This passage can shift the way you interpret your
 life circumstances.... In the passage her Beloved
 invites her into the dark night and she arises and
 goes into the night. But she can't see Him and she 
can't hear His voice.  She is crying out and she is 
looking for Him, but she can't find Him. Song of
 Solomon 5:6 "I opened for my beloved, But my beloved
 had turned away and was gone”. My heart leaped up when 
he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I
 called him, but he gave me no answer." 
She keeps going and looking for Him. Then the watchmen
 found her and struck her and wounded her.  They took
 her veil from her.  I love this part.  Even though she 
is wounded and bruised she doesn't loose sight.  She
 was committed and in Love Song of Solomon 5:8 " I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him I am lovesick!"

The Lord spoke to me on that day and He said in the 
most gentle way, "I was the One who called you into
 the night". When He said that I was chocked, but my
 heart was so full of gratitude... I thought it was the 
enemy that was behind everything I was going through,
but it was the Lord.  He is the One who called me into the 
night because of Love. The whole time He was using 
everything that was happening to bring me into a place 
of intimacy and revelation. He said to me, "I want you
 to know me in a much deeper and more intimate way than 
you have ever known me before".
I believe that Song of Solomon 5 is linked with 
Philippians 3:10 Many times I prayed that "I may 
know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the 
fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His 
death." I think I have never really understood what 
it meant to fellowship with Him in His suffering being
 conformed to his death. Suffering is still something 
that I'm honestly scared of, but I'm realizing even more now 
that Jesus is so looking for friends that will walk 
one hour with Him in the garden.  
Friends that will feel the affliction that He felt. I believe that if we truly embrace the dark hour of a season of pain and 
keep our eyes on Him... We will come out and we will 
have, like the Shulamite, the most wonderful 
revelation of His beauty.....
Song of Solomon  5: 16 "His mouth is most sweet, Yes,
he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, And this
is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!" 



Bless you all,
