A war...
Waging on inside my heart.
... A heart that had attached itself to unnessecary earthly possesions.
...Never again!..
Never again will my heart be plagued and rotted with these earthly distractions. Those things re-enforce the viel that blinds us so...
....Oh how blind!
How blind we are!
The fan we flame is not one of hope but of consumerism! We contribute to this secular, consumeristic desire that is so pungent and prevelant in this generation of remnants, remnants and ends to come.
The viel must be broken!
We wish to be free to wander the streets in revalation.
We wish to have revival screaming from our throats!
Yet we are not prepared to give up some so called 'necessities'
to present to God as offerings of obedience and so that they may be signs
signifying that we are no longer slaves to sin but we are dead to it and alive in Christ,
the one whom is holy and our one true Saviour!
It further speaks of our alien nature in this world. We are not called to be of it but we are IN it as Gods ambassadors! We are to show His Grace and light in the darkness!
Oh Lord! Oh God! Where art thou my King! Your presence now pails to the comparison of which our heart yearns for. When will we wake up!? When will we see with these eyes that do not see!?
We talk of salvation, revalation and revival in the hearts of the lost, yet musn't we take the plank out of our own eyes before we take the speck out from our brothers?! (Matthew 7:3-5)
My brothers and sisters this is the breaking of mine heart that I speak of. The reason why the Lord my God broke my heart for what breaks his. It is when we choose to put material possessions, things of this world, earthly things in our lives and anything that we would put first in our kives before God. It is an idol! Everytime you say "I will do this then spend time with God" Your saying that you love that thing more than you love God! I do not speak of things that cannot be changed like work or things we must do but things of CHOICE, things that can wait, things of importance, things that would not help us run the race for Christ that will ever so soon be won
These wise words come to mind for the discerning of things we may or may not idolise before God.
"God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference."
Once again brothers and sisters, this is for your encouragement for your benefit and to challenge idle hearts as mine has been challenged also.
May these words take there leave on your hearts and let not the Spirit be held back in His work in you precious lives.
All the Glory to God, peace and grace to you all forever and ever to the grace of our Eternal King, Amen.
