Dispatches from the Inner Room & Other Frontiers - An Introduction
An introduction to a new kind of post
I’m opening a new door on this page today, one I’m calling Dispatches.
For years I’ve kept a habit of two-way journaling, sitting with Jesus in what I’ve come to call the Inner Room, the secret place Scripture points to when it speaks of abiding in the vine. What happens there isn’t theory. It’s encounter. And for just as long, I’ve told myself these moments were too private, too strange, too personal to put in front of anyone but myself.
Well, I’ve changed my mind. Peter stood up on the day of Pentecost and told a confused crowd that dreams and visions were never meant for a rare few. They were promised to sons and daughters, young and old, ordinary people just like the ones gathered in front of him. I think we lost something when the Church settled for information over encounter, and I want to help recover a little of what we lost, one dispatch at a time.
Here is what you can expect from this space. Some dispatches will come from the Inner Room itself, the place of intimate fellowship with Christ. Others will come from what I call the Storehouse, the vault of provision hidden within the spiritual body, where God has already stored what we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). A few will come from stranger country still, frontiers I don’t have a tidy name for, where the war behind the war is fought and, sometimes, mercifully won. This is Second Heaven territory.
Not all of these dispatches will be mine. Others in our own fellowship have begun offering their own accounts, and in time you’ll read theirs alongside mine. Names and details are changed throughout to protect the people these stories belong to. What stays true is the substance, what God did, what was seen, what changed.
Consider this an open invitation into a way of walking with Christ that is available to every one of us, not reserved for the mystically inclined. Dispatch #1 begins next.
Good idea brother. 🔥🙏
