'Come Away With Me’ is a prophetic meditation on the Song of Solomon, which is a passionate love song between King Solomon and the Shulamite - representing Jesus and His bride, the church. Do we really understand the width and length and depth and height of His love for us? In this meditation Jesus reveals something of His passion and love for His bride.
“Love for Me will become a consuming fire in you. My love is not something you can trifle with or take lightly. If you say ‘yes’ to Me it will consume your whole life. I will not awaken love in you until you give Me permission, but believe Me, when you do say ‘yes’ to Me things will never be the same again. Do you want a passion, a consuming fire burning within you? Think carefully. No, do not think. If your heart, your soul, your spirit cries out ‘yes’ then say ‘yes’, and I will come and awaken love in you”.
COME AWAY WITH ME is a striking example of a new style of book, which, I believe, will begin sweeping the earth - books that couple the revelation of the Holy Spirit today with yesterday’s revelation by the Holy Spirit which is recorded for us in the Bible, the Word of God .
The exciting rediscovery of the twentieth century was that God is still speaking with man, and we can still hear Him. This book is a fascinating illustration of this dynamic, as Jonathan Hindsley goes verse by verse with God through the Song of Solomon, asking God questions about the text he is reading, and recording God’s responses to him.
Now, we believe that the current words of God need to be in agreement with those things God has already spoken to us in the Holy Scriptures, which we consider to be fully accurate and completely infallible. Thus, every word of God today will and must be tested against the words God has spoken to us in the Holy Bible.
Paul prays in Ephesians 1:17,18 “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints” (NASU) This prayer is for us as readers of the Word of God to receive fresh revelation concerning the things we are reading about in the Bible. David prayed the same prayer in Psalm 119:18 when he said, “Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from Your law” (NASU).
Jonathan Hindsley has prayed these prayers and then recorded for the reader what God has revealed to him. Now the reader can be blessed by the testimony of Jonathan’s interaction with God as he takes us through the Song of Songs. I pray you find this a great blessing as you prayerfully read over Jonathan’s prophetic meditation on the Song of Solomon.

"I feel as if this book is a treasure I will value all my life and I was instantly captivated by it. It is so concentrated, such remarkably rich meat, that I can only take in a few verses at a time, and it has blessed me profoundly"
Jennifer Rees Larcombe - Beauty from Ashes (http://www.beautyfromashes.co.uk/)
"For anyone who has read Song of Songs and not fully understood it, for anyone who desires to love Him more and to know His love more fully, for anyone who desires to go away with Him into the secret chamber and to understand intimacy, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!! It is small and simple to read but will blow you away in the Spirit. I highly recommend it. This is the best gift you can give yourself outside of the Word of God! It will cause your heart to ache for Him. It will pierce your heart in understanding the deep longings in God's heart to be near to us in those intimate places."

SAMPLE PASSAGES FROM 'COME AWAY WITH ME'
Song of Solomon
Chapter One
Song
1:1-2
BRIDE
Lord, I can understand a woman saying ‘let Him kiss me
with the kisses of His mouth’, but for a man this is a
little difficult. Can you explain what it means for You to
kiss me with the kisses of Your mouth?
JESUS
Loving-kindness, affection, to pour out blessing on you, to blow
gently on you with the breeze of My Spirit, to whisper My word
into your heart, to spend time together. It’s the
intimacy of My Spirit joined to your spirit. It's the
warmth of My love for you, My embrace, for your love is better
than wine to Me. I long for that intimate relationship,
just being together. I long for you to spend time with Me.
Your kisses are worship. That intoxicates Me more than
wine. Put your head on My breast and rest there like John.
You are safe in My arms.
BRIDE
Lord, why is love better than wine?
JESUS
Your love intoxicates Me, gives Me a warm feeling inside. It
is My reward. There is no hangover and it will last
forever. It is eternal. It is what I died for, My
very great reward.
BRIDE
Lord, what is loving-kindness?
JESUS
To do the little things for you that you want Me to do, to bless
you. I delight in giving you pleasure, in blessing you and
meeting your needs. Nothing is too hard for Me. I
would withhold nothing from you. I love you, and My desire
is to bless you. The mercies of the Lord (or
loving-kindness) endure forever.
BRIDE
Can You explain a bit more about blowing gently with the
breeze of Your Spirit?
JESUS
My voice coming gently, whispering in your ear. Learn to
recognise that voice. You will need to be able to hear Me.
The wind of the Spirit takes what I say and gives it to you.
Be sensitive and still and you will hear Me. The Spirit is
My breath. The Spirit is My life. I breathed into
Adam and he became a life-giving spirit.
BRIDE
What do You mean - a life-giving spirit?
JESUS
He had the potential to pass that life on to all humanity. So
do you as a new adam.
BRIDE
You said that my kisses are worship. Can You explain
that a bit more?
JESUS
Yes. When you worship Me it’s as though you kissed Me.
Praise is different. I enjoy your praise, but your worship
really turns Me on. That is My reward. That's what
made it all worthwhile, the promise of those intimate moments
with you in worship. Our hearts beating together as one.
That's when you kiss Me and I love it. That's the joy that
was set before Me. I had My eyes fixed on you when I went
to the cross, and it was all worth it. I long for the
moments when My Bride spends time with Me in sweet embrace.
Song
6:5-7
BRIDE
Why should I turn my eyes from you, Lord?
JESUS
Your eyes have overcome Me. Your eyes are beautiful.
They are the windows to your soul. As I look deep into your
eyes I see deep into you. I see who you really are, who I
created you to be. I see the real you as I look into your
spirit. Your spirit is the real you created in My image.
As I look beyond the outward shell I am overcome by your glorious
beauty, My bride. You do not know who you are, My bride,
but you will one day, when your glory is revealed - not only to
the world but to you yourselves. You are so incredibly
beautiful and perfect. You are the perfection, the height,
the supreme act of creation. There is no one to compare
with you. You alone in all of creation are suitable as a
bride for Me. Your beauty overwhelms Me as I gaze into your
eyes, My love, for I see who you really are. One day the
whole of creation, and the whole of heaven, will stand in awe of
you, My bride, as you stand at My side clothed in the glory that
once was Adam’s. I long for that day when you shall be
revealed to the world, when I lift the veil from your face and
your beauty, your glorious beauty, shall shine forth as you stand
beside Me in My Father’s kingdom, My lover and My bride.
You will indeed be lovely as
