John Hyde used to say ” the burden of souls is the weight of Christ’s own heart”.
The times we are living in are very critical, as every event is building up to the end of all things. We need God’s heart, His eyes and His words more than ever ! His body is bleeding, there is so much pain; deep deep wounds and the enemy is using it to take many captives , turning one against the other as a spirit of judgement is prevailing over a spirit of intercession. Those who are called to stand in the gap are actually widening the gaps and they don’t even realize that!
Where Peter, John and James failed in the garden, Christ needs His bride to succeed in this hour of darkness and the one of deep darkness that is about come over all the earth.
He weeps over His body. He weeps over His bride. Have we wept with Him? His eyes are flames of Fire and His consumed with zeal. Has that zeal consumed us ?
As He is looking for FRIENDS who will relate to Him and carry His heart in travail before HIM this hour. He is also looking for those who can communicate the expressions of His heart out loud and clear before His body, His bride this hour! In the midst of all the voices, is there one that carries the heart of GOD?
There needs to be breaking down of all pride and a humbling to a place of ” nothing but Him”. He then reveals Himself in Holiness, SET APART above the heavens; High and exalted. His coals from His altar cleanse our lips for we live among men of unclean lips. Words, words; too many without the heart of God.
Our hearts and lips need to be burnt by the coals from His altar. Words, words. too many without the Fear of the Lord and the fear of His judgements. Words that have not only injured many but have corrupted and poisoned many! Words that have deceived many!
Remember that God is judging His bride and His body as a whole and it is not just in the exposing of a few. Our responses if it doesn’t express God’s heart and does not meet His standards, can place us under the same judgement. The thoughts and intents of the heart of many stand exposed this hour!
If we are spared , then we stand to intercede; mourn and weep this hour for it is part of our own( HIS) body that is hurting. If we don’t seem to care or if it doesn’t affect us at all , are we part of His body then? For if the eye suffers , doesn’t the whole body suffer?
If one of us fails, we share (some) collective responsibility as we are of the same body. Have we known the intercessions of the Spriit from that place? Have we been broken enough to be sensitive enough?
Do we feel the pain or are we so cut off that we rejoice over or are quick to make the suffering worse by our careless actions and words? If we cause injury, don’t we injure our own selves? Do we realize that it is our own body we are seeking to correct? heal and restore?
We need men and women who will speak and minister with this heart this hour! It is more than just discernment. It’s discernment that carries the weight of His burden for His bride. It flows out of love; love filled zeal and travail that is birthed from that! Nothing less!
Only after the cleansing can one hear His heartbeat and carry His burden . Say ” Here I am send me”!
If we are called to bring light this hour the FIRE needs to have cleansed our SINS first, just as it did in the prophet’s. Only then can we worthily carry His message during this hour, His message of redemption! Only then; His message of judgements !
Only then can one’s words truly expose the lies and deception. For His light exposes darkness leaving no place for it to hide. However, can one speak in/for the light if it hasn’t shined on him first? Can those who proclaim to be carriers of the light proclaim what the light has searched in their own lives first? If one is not able , then can He qualify to be a light bearer this hour?
Amidst all the turmoil and the confusion and the pain; o Lord, Let your bride arise from the ashes with beauty adorned with a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness! Amen
