Longing → Communion
Dream 6239 — September 18, 2025
During a night encounter on September 18, 2025, a lyric surfaced with clarity and emotional steadiness. There was no surrounding imagery or narrative—only the phrase itself, received as a request rather than a declaration.
As with other lyric-based night encounters, the Spirit emphasized a fragment rather than the full song. Interpretation followed waking discernment.
"Bring me a higher love."
— Bring Me a Higher Love
(Lyrics © Steve Winwood — brief excerpt used under fair use for commentary)
The Spirit framed the lyric as a prayer, not a demand.
"Higher" was received as quality rather than intensity—love that is purer, truer, and rooted beyond human exchange. The encounter clarified that the longing was not for affection, but for communion.
This was not dissatisfaction with earthly relationships. It was orientation toward divine love that restores perspective and steadies identity. The phrase functioned as response rather than initiation, answering a prior season of disorientation.
The encounter affirmed that the way back to rest is not effort, but deeper love.
When God speaks through a lyric, the lyric is never the doctrine. It is a doorway to a specific message—brief, clear, and anchored in Scripture. The song itself is not sanctified, nor should it be elevated. Only the fragment emphasized by the Spirit is interpreted. The rest remains cultural artifact, stewarded with discernment.
"May you have power… to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ."
Scripture anchors the encounter: divine love exceeds understanding and becomes the ground of stability.
Allow longing to become prayer. Seek communion rather than resolution. Let divine love recalibrate direction without striving.
