Shekinah Glory

Shekinah Glory

The story of Diana and Stan begins with 20 years of celibacy. They had both been married before and had first met each other 20 years before their marriage to each other in a home church. Back then, they were both single parents supporting one another and praying for the restoration of their marriages that had ended recently.

Stan was eleven years older than Diana. At 27 years old, Diana thought Stan was a bit old for her at 38, so they were just friends. They were in the home church together for four years and then they both went their separate ways. Diana even moved out of state. Neither of them dated much, with single parenting and all, it seemed much to daunting for them to add another stressor onto their already full plates. So they killed off the longings of their hearts for romance and intimacy with another until eighteen years later when their grown daughters recognized each other at a mutual friends wedding. Both found out their parents were still single, exchanged phone numbers, and encouraged their parents to call each other.

Stan and Diana loved reconnecting with one another. It was as if they had still been close friends over the years and hadn’t missed a beat. Diana thought age doesn’t matter anymore when you’re over 40 years of age. She just wanted to share her life with Stan, no matter how many years they had together. Stan still thought Diana was still too young for him, he was 54 and she was 43. But he decided to risk anyway. Much to his surprise he found himself falling deeper in love with Diana’s heart, soul, spirituality and her sexiness. She brought out longings in him that he had long sense forgotten.

Two years later they were married, and all six of their grown children were part of the wedding. On their honeymoon the Lord spoke to them about the importance of marital intimacy in their relationship. “Drink, and embibe O’ Lovers. If who I AM is absolute connection in oneness, than a marriage relationship and covenant is one that is modeled after My absolute connectedness and oneness.  I created your marriage to enjoy the pleasure of connectedness and oneness with your soul mate, lover and helpmate.  To not experience that joy of connectedness in your marriage is death to your deepest desires of who I created you both to be.  Connectedness is vital to your health and the life of your souls!”

So they talked about making love on a regular basis so they wouldn’t become hardened towards one another, separated, and distant. They responded to His love by refusing to become self-focused, untrusting of each other, and the ultimate reality wouldn’t be their own pain, but seeing the heart of the other. Rather than risking in their relationship by moving towards one another spiritually, physically and emotionally, they decided to refuse to keep their hearts safe (not a good thing, because then they would be lonelier than ever!  They remembered it was a good thing to long for marriage and oneness when they were single, for that is how the Lord created them. After so many years of killing off those desires they found it freeing to give and receive love to their mate. Pleasure in the holy covenant of marriage was encouraged and blessed by their Lord.

The Lord continued by telling them He was present now as they made love, just as when they stood before Him taking their marriage vows to “have and to hold one another until do they part”. Shekinah Glory is a Hebrew word which refers to the presence of God resting upon His people. The Shekinah Glory is a taste of His glory here on earth, and Jesus is the Shekinah glory of God as He shines in the hearts of a married couple who are making love. Several months into their marriage, Stan and Diana had learned the fine art of making love while they were truly present with each other and the Lord. They often started their love making with a prayer of thankfulness for their time together.

One day Diana opened the mail to find some pictures of her as a teenager her mother had sent her. Showing Stan the pictures, she said, “Now you have a new woman to fantasize about!”

He responded, “Boy do I ever! You still have that same sultry look, you were hot then and you still are!”

Stan pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ear, “Lord, I’m so blessed to have such a gorgeous, voluptuous woman as my wife” as he nibbled on her earlobe and trailed down her neck with soft kisses. “I bet all the boys came in their pants just kissing you, and now you’re all mine. I want to make love to the most beautiful teenager in the world!”

He suddenly lifted her blouse and took a nipple into his mouth, making it hard with his tongue. Diana felt her body immediately respond to him. She knew it wouldn’t be long before she agreed to follow him back into their bedroom. Over the first year of their marriage they had explored each others bodies and knew exactly what turned the other on. Diana thought, maybe I taught him a little too well – he has such power over me! Only a few short hours ago it was no small feat for either of us to get out of bed and leave each others arms. And now here he is finding a new reason to entice me back to bed.

She sighed softly as his lips left one breast to lavish the same beautiful attention on the other. He looked longingly into her eyes with that silly little grin Diana adored so much, and whispered, “You haven’t changed at all, you still look exactly the same, you’ll always be my little girl, and you’re all mine!” He ran a hand beneath her skirt and slowly moved up her thigh and lovingly began to tease her. Diana moaned, surprised once again by the sounds she was making in response to his touch.

Stan took her hand and led Diana to the bedroom as she protested, “We just got out of bed!” Stan gave Diana a wicked, little smile in return as her clothes fell on the floor around her. Pausing to stare admiringly at her body Stan said, “You make me feel like a young buck again, ready to make the conquest of a lifetime with the young girl of my dreams.”

He laid Diana back on their bed as his tender soft kisses became more aggressive. Stan gently rolled her over on her stomach and began to brush his lips softly all over her back. That drove her wild and sent her writhing with pleasure. He made his way down her back and said, “You still have that same tight behind as you did when you were young!” Then he brushed his fingers ever so lightly over the inside of her thigh and parted her curly hair to find her wet and moist.

“My young beauty is already hot – hmmmm!”

“You turned me on back in the kitchen Stan!”

Then she turned towards him and protested, “I’m not as skinny as I once was!”

He got on top of her rubbing his shaft between her legs and replied, “Who would want a skinny, hard girl with her bones sticking out? I love you this way, soft and curvaceous beneath me, yielded and willing. Please sweetheart, open your legs and let me inside.”

Diana instinctively spread her legs for him allowing him to slide easily inside her. He moved slowly at first, then he took her legs and wrapped them over his shoulders and thrust deeper into her over and over again.
He gazed into Diana’s eyes making an intimate connection with her, “This is the way it was always supposed to be, you and me together as one, fitting perfectly together. I wish you were all mine back then, and we were able to make love over the years.”

Looking up at him, Diana moved her hips deeper into him and said, “No one has ever taken my heart, my body and my spirit as you have. You are the only one who has ever had all of me!”

He found the twin mounds of her full breasts, and lavished her nipples with hot kisses. It was then that Diana found herself surrendering to him as he slid effortlessly in and out of her. Diana’s only reality was this moment, their room, their bed, and her husband deep inside her.

Knowing Diana was nearing a climax he told her, “I love to please you my love as much as I enjoy losing myself within you.”

She climaxed violently as he found a particularly vulnerable spot within her. Diana could see on his face that he was withholding his own pleasure for her own until she was completely satisfied, then she surrounded him with her love physically, emotionally and spiritually and told Stan, “I love you.” Suddenly she felt the warmth of his seed filling her. Wanting the moment to last forever, Diana and Stan melted into each others arms, and stayed together as long as possible.

When the ecstasy subsided Stan began to reminisce, “If we were married when we were younger I would have made love to you three times a day and my three children and your three girls would be our six children, and then we would’ve had three more of our own at least!”

Diana wondered aloud, “Why do things turn out the way they do? Why didn’t we marry during our mini-church days? Why didn’t God show us back then we were made for each other?”

Stan replied, “I think He had his hands full, just to bring healing to our hearts so we could actually be married to each other.”

Yes the Shekinah Glory is a taste of His glory here on earth.
