Totally Other Than

The desire to be unique; Where does it come from? Thinking about this today and laughing at myself. This desire has always been in me! It's been a thorn at times and a great joy at others. Haaa Haaaa, still laughing at myself haaaaa. If we are honest, we all have this plague of heart to be ~ Totally Other Than!

You can see this desire to be different with every generation. This wave (movement) that defines (separates) one generation from the next. Their hearts cry, "We are not like you! We are different! Let me be me!" Each one with a wanting to be recognized for their uniqueness. A wanting to leave their own mark in the earth. A desire to leave their fingerprints so to speak, that they are totally other than any others.

My heart burns with this same desire to be different. It has always been there. What I've come to understand through years of sitting with the One who placed it in me is, if surrendered, the earth WILL be marked forever with the fingerprints of God!

 At the beginning of time the Original One, the 1st and only Totally Other Than one, created us in His image. This Holy Seed (Isa 6:13) placed in our hearts wants to spring forth in us to return the earth to its original design. This is what it means when it says, " be Holy as I am Holy ( 1 Peter 1)." It's as if He is saying or giving us permission to be different, to BE TOTALLY OTHER THAN! This desire is what we were created to go for! It is what the earth is looking for! It is what the earth is groaning for (Romans 8:22)!!! We are called to be holy (different, unique); in this world but not of this world (Romans 12). If we would surrender our struggle for uniqueness and BEHOLD the One heaven cries out to continually, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY," we would receive the desire of our hearts.  We would become what we behold! We would be what we were created to be... TOTALLY OTHER THAN!  We would be a generation like none the earth has ever seen!!! Separated, Set Apart, HOLY! Let Him (the Seed, the Shoot, Isaiah 11) come forth through us!  


OUR hearts cry will be, " I am not my own! I was bought with a price ( 1 Cor 7:23)! I am marked by Him to mark the earth. I AM TOTALLY OTHER THAN!!! "


Holiness arise. Spring forth in this generation. May the earth never be the same!
