Session 7: Hephzibah, God’s Beauty, and Jesus in Red

Notes: shorturl.at/BNQ59

In July 1988, while in my office reading a wedding card with Song 8:6 on it, I began to pray, “Jesus, seal my heart with Your seal of love.” I began to weep. I asked the receptionist to hold all my calls. Ten minutes later, the receptionist called and said, “Bob Jones is on the phone. He heard the audible voice of God for you.” At that moment, I was on my knees weeping over the Song 8:6.

Set Me [Jesus] as a seal upon your heart…for love is as strong as death, [God’s] jealousy as cruel [demanding] as the grave; its flames are flames of fire… (Song 8:6)

Bob Jones called to tell me at that the Lord had just spoken audibly to Him promising to release grace across the Body of Christ worldwide to walk in Song 8:6-7 and that for the rest of my ministry I was to focus on this theme—the first commandment. The month prior, in June 1988, we connected with John Wimber, who emphasized worship that was focused on intimacy with God.
