God Says, "I'm About to Kiss Many of My Children"

This word by Al Thomas is a timely one for today. As we hear God's voice, no matter our age, may we realize His love for us in a new way. Listen as God speaks through Al Thomas about God kissing each of us, age is not a barrier, we are all His children.

Al Thomas: God's Says, "I'm About to Kiss Many of My Children"

I was thinking about Valentine's Day when I heard God whisper, "I'm about to kiss many of My children." When we allow someone to touch our mouth, we are saying, "I trust this person well enough to become intimate with them."

We are fearfully and wonderfully made (see Psalm 139:14), and although every part of our body is important, the mouth is extremely so. The mouth (on the outside) is made up of two lips—the lower and the upper. Both lips are soft, usually protruding, always movable, and serve for food intake and in articulation of speech.

Most know that the Old Testament prophets fall into two categories: Major and Minor. The Minor Prophets—Hosea, Amos, Jonah, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, etc—are called Minor Prophets because of the length of their writings, not because they were any less important. There are twelve Minor Prophets and there are four Major Prophets: Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel and Daniel.

I do not believe they are Major Prophets simply because of the length of their writings. There was something else that few notice. These four Major Prophets experienced one unusual thing that none of the Minor Prophets did, and it is important to see: all four Major Prophets had their lips touched by God.

Jeremiah

When Jeremiah was a young boy, God called him to be a mouthpiece for Him. Jeremiah was frightened and discouraged, so God touched his lips (see Jeremiah 1:6). He was afraid no longer. God's kiss removes all fear (see Numbers 14:9). You don't let someone get close enough to kiss you unless you have total trust in them. You can trust God (see 1 Timothy 4:10), and He is always in a kissing mood.

I see God calling the "wee ones" into close relationship - with a tender kiss. It was like the kiss that a father gives a young child, innocent and pure. Many children will be called - with a kiss from Heaven (see Matthew 19:14).

Isaiah

When Isaiah was a teenager God also called him to be a spokesman. Immediately, Isaiah felt unworthy and God used the seraphim to touch Isaiah's lips with a coal from the throne of God (see Isaiah 6:5-7). He no longer felt unclean.

God's kisses cleanse us from condemnation and free us from the bondage of feeling unworthy (see Romans 8:1). The Blood of Jesus was like the Father's kiss to you. God is longing to be in deep relationship with you. He even has a ring for you to make it official (see Luke 15:22). I see this especially with teenagers right now, even as Isaiah was touched by God as a teenager.

I see God touching teenagers in such a way that they suddenly won't want to play computers games anymore, but seek to get serious with God. I see many teenagers answering God's call...because of a kiss. And this is not "puppy love," but a lifelong, eternal love affair.

Ezekiel

When Ezekiel was middle aged God called him and he was given a scroll and instructed to eat it (see Ezekiel 3:1-3). He ate it as it passed through his lips. Ezekiel served God in a hard place and he needed courage. After kissing God he kept going no matter what.

I see an upsurge of middle-aged people wanting God's word to pass through their lips into their spirit. I sense many people will be gorging on God's Word like it's a buffet and (oddly enough) they seem to dwell on the "meat section" and not the "junk food" area (see Hebrews 5:14). They won't settle for any kind of meat, they want the best heavenly top sirloin. They want to go deep and are sick of fluff on the surface.

I see middle-aged men and women, who have grown weary serving God, now rushing to the buffet, pushing people away from the dessert area so they could get to the "real meat" of the word. Some people who didn't understand them were staring because pieces of scroll seemed to be dangling from the lips of those in the meat section. I see scrolls falling from Heaven and people desperately grappling to get one.

Look up, something is falling from Heaven.

Daniel

When Daniel was an older man, he almost fainted because of the intense visions he was experiencing. God touched his lips and he recovered enough to go on (see Daniel 10:16). Kissing (intimacy) seems to revive us and make us want to keep going. I saw aged saints (thinking that their time of usefulness was drawing to an end) suddenly get amorous with God. Many of them discerned that the Father was trying to renew a relationship that had grown cold over the years.

It was like an old lover had returned and they had restarted a romance that was sizzling again. They started to act differently, think differently. They felt young and "in love" with God again (see Revelation 2:4). Some of their friends said they were silly and should act their age, but these older saints simply ignored them and allowed God to kiss them more so (see Matthew 5:6).

A full-fledged heavenly romance is about to be manifested in the Church.
