Heart Connection

Repost from March 5, 2016

About a year ago, one day while I was at the piano worshiping the Lord, He began to speak the following to me:

"O my child come and sit with me a while.  I am so lonely in the depths of my heart, come and sit with me a while that I might share my heart. Many will have a surface relationship with Me.  But few will share My heart. My bride will share my heart.  Many run here and there to try to find Me.  And many will even pray, but few will share my heart. Come and be with Me, My child, and I will share My heart with you."

I believe that cry in God's heart is for each one of us. With the billions of people in the earth, God is lonely for a heart to heart relationship with each one. I believe there is a special slot/spot in God's heart carved out for each one.  And when that slot/spot is filled it brings satisfaction to God's heart. The deepest satisfaction comes when there is a real heart to heart connection.

Come Ye After Me

Mark 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

Mark 3:13-15 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. ¹⁴ And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, ¹⁵ And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

Song of Songs 7:10-13 I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me. ¹¹ Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. ¹² Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. ¹³ The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

The first call of Yeshua is to come and be with Him.  The relationship with Him is the most important part of our Christian life and ministry.  Without relationship with Him, we really have nothing to offer.  He is the vine we are the branches.  We must stay connected into the vine as the source of life and sustenance to have anything of lasting value to share. 

We see in the verses in Mark that Yeshua called the disciples to come and be with Him. Then He sent them forth.  He called for them to come after Him and He would make them to become fishers of men.  The onus was on Yeshua to prepare them for the work of sharing the Kingdom of God as kingdom ambassadors. That preparation came in time spent with Yeshua in everyday life, as well as watching Him minister, and participating with Him in ministry. Then he sent them out. 

In the passage from the Song of Songs we see that the call is also to come. Actually much of that book is about coming to Yeshua and growing in an intimate relationship with Him.  As already stated that is the relationship with Yeshua is essential.  Then going forth is done together. The going forth is into the harvest field of the unsaved.  The going forth is also to the villages, the places where there are believers dwell in fellowship.  In the villages there is ministry to the needs of those who are already believers. All ministry is done co-laboring with the Godhead. Yeshua only did what He saw the Father doing.  We need to learn to operate in the same way to be effective.  We function in this earth realm as ambassadors of the Kingdom realm.

It all has to start with “come” and then being sent out. Being sent is another key.  To just go of our own accord is not good.  We must look to Yeshua to send us in the right time to the right place.  As we are being sent we are going out to co-labor with Yeshua under the direction and anointing of Father and Holy Spirit. 

Heart Connection

About a year ago, one day while I was at the piano worshiping the Lord, He began to speak the following to me:

I believe that cry in God's heart is for each one of us. With the billions of people in the earth, God is lonely for a heart to heart relationship with each one. I believe there is a special slot/spot in God's heart carved out for each one.  And when that slot/spot is filled it brings satisfaction to God's heart.

Toward or Away

The coming shaking will either push/press people toward or away from God. There will be those that run into the arms of Jesus and develop a closer relationship with Him. There will be those who turn from Him and some that even shake their fist at God and rage against Him.  Any trying situation can make us bitter or better.  The same heat melts butter and hardens clay.  Trying situations show what type of material we are made of and the bent of our heart.

My prayer is that whatever happens that I will run into the arms of my God.  May I ever burn hot in zeal for the Lord.  May my love for Him never grow cold.

Matthew 24:12-13 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 

Romans 12:11  Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 

Revelation 3:15-16 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 

RELATIONSHIP AND REVELATION

John is often referred to as John the Beloved.  In the Gospel of John, he often refers to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.”  John had a close relationship with the Lord Jesus.  He was one of the three that Jesus chose to be with Him on certain occasions.

(Mark 5:37-Little girl raised from the dead; Matthew 17:1; Mark 9:2 Mount of Transfiguration; Mark 14:33-Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus went aside to pray)  John was leaning upon Jesus at the Last Supper.  John was at the cross with Mary, the mother of Jesus and Jesus gave to John the responsibility of taking care of His mother.

John13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

John 21:7  Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord.
John 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
John 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

Daniel was also called greatly beloved by the angel of God.  

Daniel 10:11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

Daniel 10:19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.

Both of these men were given great revelation, especially concerning the end times.  It is important to have a very close love relationship with the Lord Jesus in order to be entrusted with great revelation.  I believe in these last days God desires to have a close relationship with His people.  I believe He also desires to bring revelation to His people and open to us the mysteries of the kingdom for this hour.
