I read Jeremiah 4:19, ...My heart makes a noise in me;..., stood out to me. I thought about how that noise sounded. Was it the sound of noise coming from God's heart? Where was the noise of my heart, could I hear it? I once again noticed that my heart was not its usual excited self.
After spending a little more time in the word I began to pray and suddenly I felt overwhelmed and began to cry! It was as if a blockage in my throat came out of me!
All at once I understood that God was showing me that my heart had been feeling emotionally dead for a while now and this was why I was not feeling as excited as I usually did.
Someone had hurt me and I had shut off my emotions again. You see our emotions not only allow us to feel but also warn us of things that are not right in us. People hurt us, sometimes deeply, and we develop coping strategies. Often, without realising it, we shut off areas of our heart.
This is why we need the word which is alive and active and will go to work in us and for us. It will continuously work to bring us back to wholeness which is always God's desire for us!
There are several reasons why we need to always check our hearts and ensure they are in Prime condition:
1 Love: HE loves us and His desire for us is always the best! Wholeness!
2/Impartation: So when HE reaches in where no man can and heals us, HE makes room for more ability, anointing, understanding, wisdom etc. Whatever you need for where you are in your walk. Ground that is not prepared will not bear much fruit.
3/Affect on the Kingdom: God's intention is for us to function at 100 percent capacity, not to have parts of us shut down, so that we have maximum impact on the lives of others.
We do not want what we share to be contaminated but to be pure Heavenly treasure that we can pass on to others. We must become Kingdom focused. True Kingdom focus is aware of the impact we may have for future generations.
Result of hearts not surrendered:
Early this morning I saw a box with neatly packed and clothed body parts. Nothing gory!
This cleary shows a dysfunctional, dismembered body that is limited.
Limited thinking,
Limited perceptions cause limited actions.
We have to work on our hearts, constantly and consistently because we all have to come into unity and reach a certain point together in order to experience the extraordinary that God wants to bring here!
Lots and Lots of Love and Blessings - Sharon
