Jesus


The Quickening


Ever heard the term “the quickening?”
Well, even if you haven’t, it doesn’t take a genius to reason that a quickening has something to do with things happening fast or at an accelerated pace.

Imagine being in a state of "being" where thought no longer thinks; your mind is simply receiving?

The quickening is comparable to having your sense of "being" lifted and ushered into another dimension; in some sense, you are vaguely aware of your "being" being caught up in another realm.

The experience of the quickening mirrors - being taken over by a force occurring within a spontaneously moment in time. No announcement alerts you to the quickening; you simply find yourself caught up in the moment of its presence.  It feels perfectly natural, yet you’re aware that something - out of the ordinary, has occurred.

Upon the arrival of teleportation, you don’t eat or drink within that period - which could possibly last for hours or - days. Then, all of a sudden, as if waking up from a gentle sleep, you find yourself being transferred back to the world of the ordinary after what seemed to have been only moments ago when you sat down, picked up your pen, and began to record what now lies completed; right before your very eyes.

I’m inclined to think that the trance-like state of the quickening, occurs for the purpose of the recipient receiving access to a higher level of knowledge, at a pace beyond the level of human ingenuity.

Regardless of what accounts for the quickening, the recipient is left having experienced the phenomenon of the quickening, and left in a state of wonderment, awe and inquiry!

Does the quickening quicken our consciousness as we the recipients receive what has been given in the moments of being caught up? Is the recipient’s consciousness raised?

Obviously - yes! It would seem senseless to be given a higher level of knowledge and yet be left in darkness? Thus, the purpose of being transported to a higher level of being!

             
The Quickening

In the twinkling of an eye, we will all be changed!

  1. These are some intense questions, Betty. But I can answer the last one-- has Jesus had no significance? With a resounding NO! The significance is huge-- and even those of us who believe He is our Saviour probably can't comprehend the magnificence of it in this life. Thoughtful post!
