I have been meditating on this phrase from Song of Solomon 2:14 for about a week now. It came to me after finding a poem I had written some time ago entitled "My Voice". I just happened to be "spring" cleaning in October and found the poem on a piece of orange paper in a huge stack of other papers that needed sorting. I pulled it out and sat it on my desk. After about a day or so, I heard "let me hear your voice". I recognized the phrase from scripture so I went to go look it up.
Song of Solomon 2:14
"O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
in the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your face,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely."
Hmmm. I am not known as a person that is usually at a loss for words so I really have been struggling to discern exactly what the Father is asking in his request...let me hear your voice.
A few days before I found my poem, I read a very encouraging post on Facebook that released a prophetic word about creative gates being opened. It spoke to me deeply so I reposted it. ( I won't post an active link here because I don't actually know the person who wrote the post...if you want to read it chk my page.) I sensed such an anointing on the prophetic word released through that post. It was like a clarion call.
I am still processing a lot of the prophetic word in that post, but I know that this scripture in Song of Solomon is also part of the message Father is wanting me (and other creatives) to hear. Here are two sentences from that post...
Watch how you flow in my Spirit when you begin to be in the right place of freedom and expression! For it is there, that I will anoint you and my glory will be seen upon you!".....Arise Shine! Jo Ellen
PROCESSING.
There is a right place for freedom. There is a right place for creative expression. There is a place for receiving anointing. There is a place for receiving glory. I think the scripture in Song of Songs gives me a few clues.
The clefts of the rock...in Exodus 33:22 this is where Moses received the glory and experienced the goodness of God tangibly revealed. Afterwards, Moses face shown with the glory.
The secret places of the cliff...according to Psalm 91 are found in the shelter of the Almighty, El Shaddai. We usually translate El Shaddai as the God Who Is More Than Enough, however, the more accurate translation is the Breasty-One. El Shaddai is the revelation of God as a nurturer satisfying us like a nursing mother.
So now this scripture looks like not just an instruction but also an invitation. Let me include the Amplified Bible version of the scripture...it is really something to ponder.
So I went with him, and when we were climbing the rocky steps up the hillside, my beloved shepherd said to me, O my dove, [while you are here] in the seclusion of the clefts in the solid rock, in the sheltered and secret places of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
WOW. Selah. The phrase "let me hear your voice" is actually not simply an instruction but first its an invitation.
As I mentioned earlier, the prophetic word in that post was like a clarion call. What is a clarion? The Dictionary App defines it as an ancient trumpet with a curved shape or a sound of this instrument.
A clarion. An invitation. An instruction. PROCESSING.
There is a spiritual gate that has opened in the Kingdom of God for a new higher level of creative expression that will reveal the glory of God in greater dimensions. It is a welcome invitation for whosoever will. It is an invitation to the cleft of the rock and the secret places. It is a place of deep intimacy that will impart revelation that will need to be expressed and released in the Kingdom. Expressions will be released in various forms but each with a unique spiritual frequency that is directly connected to the Kingdom of God.
The Father wants to hear my unique creative expression and your unique creative expression. He wants to hear a new expression and sound from His children. He wants it to be deep, rich, intimate and sweet. As we come to him, El Shaddai, to be satisfied by him alone...the impartation we receive will be that which he created us to express as his child. Like Father..like son (daughter).
Let me hear your voice. Selah.

COMING SOON
Our first book, Kelbey Chronicles, Volume One will be available soon. We have been working on this project for a few months. After much encouragement, we decided to take our blog along with some additions, deletions, and corrections and compile a book. Our prayer is that the book will encourage every reader to open their heart and listen for God's "still small voice". Soon we will share the testimony that caused the book to come about in the first place. There is always a story. Until then, grace and peace.
