TO BE SENT WITH THE LORD’S HEART
AND EMOTIONS

To hear the Lord through our consecrated emotions is a very intimate experience.  This happens after we give Him our emotions and ask Him to consecrate them for Himself.  Giving Him our emotions is surrendering all of our desires, passions, feelings and asking Him to replace them with His own desires, passions and feelings.  The Holy Spirit is very emotional and the closer we walk with the Lord, the more we will come to realize how He feels, experience how He feels, and then finally express how He feels.

 

TO SWALLOW JESUS THEN BE SENT

John 6: 56-58

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven — not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.

To have been sent with a portion of His heart is the greatest honor I have ever experienced. He told me that He sent me in His stead, with His heart and His message and that happened through the intimacy of swallowing His cup, the cup of Jesus.

It has been a 2-way reciprocation in being sent, but having intimacy with the Lord in doing so. When He downloads His message into those He sends, they literally experience a part of Himself in what He feels through the message. I found that swallowing His cup is not opinions and beliefs about God, rather it is experiencing God’s very heart and all that He expresses. We can talk about God all we want, and have opinions and interpretations of things He says. But until we walk in His shoes, with His heart, we remain unchanged, non impacted, and non influenced. Scripture says we do not change because we do not fear God. (Ps 55:19)

God’s heart is filled with emotion... longings, yearnings, tenderness, anger, wrath, justice, mercy, grief, nurturings, comfort, pity, joy, everlasting love... He FEELS just like human beings feel, only it is in the purest, most holy form and the immenseness of what He feels is something that we can not bare. God’s emotions are intense. {Click here to read the characteristics of the Holy Spirit.} 

Rom 11:22 AMP

Then note and appreciate the gracious kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's gracious kindness to you — provided you continue in His grace and abide in His kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off (pruned away).

I have walked through seasons with Him in this, but these last few years as a prophetic intercessor, have been an experience of knowing the bitter yet sweet, tough, yet tender Pathos of God. It is knowing a part of Himself that few people on earth want to know. I always skipped past the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations because they are not exactly happy books. Now after walking out some deeply impacting and painful intercessions these last few years, my life and heart is forever changed for having known His pain and how He feels about us. Now I understand that Jeremiah experienced the Words that the Lord imparted into him.

Scripture talks about eating a portion of God’s Word and when we do this, we receive a part of Himself inside. Like honey to the taste, His Word is so sweetly satisfying when He puts it into our mouth. Then with each Word, it brings forth an expression of His heart, His emotions, a part of Himself. Some of that is painful.

Ezekiel 3: 1-3 NKJV

Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll , and go, speak to the house of Israel." So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll. And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you." So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

Rev 10:9-10 NKJV

So I went to the angel and said to him, "Give me the little book ."And he said to me, "Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth." Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

Jesus spoke of eating His body and drinking His blood. He is the bread of life and He gives us His hidden manna, which is our bread from heaven. This is a symbol of swallowing Jesus, where He is distributed throughout every cell of our body.

John 6:53-58 NKJV

"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven — not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."

Matt 20:23 NKJV

So He said to them, "You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with.

Matt 26:26-28 NKJV

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body ." Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

TO COMFORT HIM IS TO KNOW, THEN ACCEPT HIM

I know that through what little of Himself He has poured into me, it has given Him comfort in my understanding Him. It is very humbling to receive that honor of having something to give back to Him that ministers to His own need. Each time we each receive and embrace a part of Who He really is, it gives Him great pleasure in reciprocation that He has reached out and connected with us in meaningful acceptance.

ANNIE’S VISION: THE FULLNESS OF HIS WORD

“Once again in marvelous mercies He reached down; lifting me up in His arms of love, He took me into the world of light to show me more of the wonders and mysteries of His unseen things.

God does not communicate with us as we communicate with one another. His words and ways of communicating are so utterly different from ours that there is really no comparison. Sending forth a few bits of information or an idea that will enlarge man’s fund of knowledge is our way of communication, but it is not His. When God communicates with us, He sends forth a word with a part of Himself in it. His way of communicating is to send forth a very part of Himself to us. His word, if word it might be called - is a part of Himself in living power filled with light, vibrant life and creative force. Thus, when His Word comes to us it is filled with the very life of God Himself.

He has given His own ones a special gift: the faculty of reception that enables them to receive this communicated part of Himself. This ability, which is far superior to hearing, is a spiritual sense that enables them not only to receive this living word from God, but also to receive all the fullness with which it comes to them. No part or portion of His word is either lost or screened out for lack of our ability to receive its fullness. In this way He gives us, time after time, a living part of Himself which builds up His nature within us.

From God came forth a living word, accompanied by a force of fulfillment, which caused His word to be executed and thereby fulfilled. This word was sent to bring forth, as it were, a very concentrated essence from among His owns ones, which came forth by the power and force of His word sent to them.”

This rhema is God's response to the above post I wrote yesterday about being sent as His intercessor with His heart and emotion.

RHEMA 7/18/08 SENT TO FEEL WHAT HE FEELS

HEARD: Inspect the fruit. My image.

VISION: I saw a crystal clear swimming pool with a ladder and the top of the water was a brilliant glisten of the sun’s reflection. The glisten was so bright it hurt my eyes to look straight at it.

HEARD: The bases are loaded. Why I sent you. On a special mission. Assignment. Why I chose you. You modeled it. Dignified? Nope. Humble, absolutely. You took My place. Walked in My shoes. Felt what I felt.

The power to learn. Choice. Do you want it? Booklet. What you would pass down, if you had the chance. Perspective. Yield blind eyes. To see things afresh. I walked it out with you. Role model. Tender. Ate it. The whole book. Trust Me. Way better than a movie.

Rev 10:8-11 NKJV

Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, "Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth." So I went to the angel and said to him, "Give me the little book ."  And he said to me,” Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth." Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. And he said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings."

  TO FEEL WHAT HE FEELS

AMAZING EXPERIENCE 1/13/09: Today, when I was driving in the car, I had a picture of my going up to someone and gazing into their eyes. I specifically took their cheeks in my hands and looked into their eyes and prophesied into that person with all the love I had. I felt God’s love and emotion in sincerely wanting to reach this person with His love.  I sensed that the gesture of taking the person’s cheek was significant, that I really needed to reach deep inside to that person's heart. After seeing that, I told the Lord after seeing that picture that I really wanted to prophesy over people with this same deep level of love into their need.

A few hours later, we went to a house meeting and 3 people prayed over each one of us and gave the Words of the Lord. The 3 were behind the hot seat, laying hands on the person sitting there. When it was my turn to be prayed for, one of them heard the Lord tell her that she was to go around to the front of me and hold my cheeks and look into my eyes and tell me something. So she went around and did exactly that. What the Lord said to me through her hit such a deep chord inside of me that I have not been the same since. It was a resurrection Word after having gone through a long season of suffering and finally death to self. I was overwhelmed with tears. It was too intimate, too precious to share publically. All I can say is that when the Lord speaks to our heart's depth of need, only His Words can bring us back to life.

Heb 4:12-13 NKJV

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

As we were leaving the meeting, she specifically again mentioned that she was told to take my cheeks and look into my eyes. Upon her repeating that, the Holy Spirit brought back the picture I had a few hours earlier of my doing that very same thing!   All the love and yearning I experienced when seeing that picture - to reach the depths of that person I was speaking into! That was the LORD for me!!!!!!!!

TO EXPERIENCE THE EMOTIONS OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT

REVELATORY EXPERIENCE AND INTERCESSION 1/27/08:

The Lord took me through an intercession over those who had grieved the Holy Spirit, and I experienced a very heavy grieving of the Holy Spirit. Although I have suffered this many times, I had not experienced this level of the Holy Spirit’s grieving since the early 80’s. I would feel perfectly fine and then suddenly something very deep would rise up in my spirit like a wave of overwhelming grief. I had to be sure this was not a demonic spirit of grief or even perhaps my own broken soul that the Lord was drawing out. I had been taking authority, praying and doing everything I could to wash this grief out of me including asking for prayer in the prayer line.

I suddenly felt the Holy Spirit knocking on the doors of the hearts of mankind. With great longings and yearnings of unreciprocated love, He was saying:

“Do you love Me? Do you want Me? How much room do you have in your life for Me? How much of Me do you accept?”

With those longings of intent, He would knock on our heart until we opened up to sup with Him. And when we opened up to Him, it gave Him pleasure and comfort just to be with us and have us listen to Him and commune.

We had many doors in our heart-home and when He knocked, He might gain entrance to some, but in others we would keep our doors closed and not let Him in. He continued knocking on closed doors until we were “set” in our decisions and He had the answer to His quest. Then He withdrew from knocking and stayed within the confines of whatever boundary we allowed Him. I was overwhelmed with His love, and desire, and yearning to be allowed access into our lives. And then I saw the truth that He had also been knocking on the doors of our families, homes, churches, denominations, schools, cities, states, and countries. He has had this same quest throughout all history. He has wanted to find a resting place, where He could dwell in reciprocal love and be fully accepted and embraced.

I saw that we ourselves set our own boundaries for Him. And to the same degree that we have resisted His knock, we have raised up boundaries that have either kept Him at bay, resisted Him, grieved Him, quenched Him, despised His voice, scorned His Words, or defamed Him and spoken evil of Him. I felt the flooding of His heart; all He wanted was our reciprocal love.

As I understood this, that same grief rose up inside and I sobbed, and sobbed and sobbed. I have never gone through such an experience, because this pain was not my own pain. Tonight, when I sobbed it was not for me, it was for HIM. I was so deeply impacted by the suffering of the Holy Spirit... the depth of His love, His longing, His longsuffering and relentlessness to keep knocking and trying to find someone who will listen and give Him room. I cried for Him and kept telling Him how deeply sorry I was for His pain and all that we had done to Him to resist Him. I asked the Father’s forgiveness for all mankind for we have pushed Him away, and treated His heart and Word so glibly.

I could not even fathom the longsuffering He has gone through to have suffered the same quest through out all of history. His love is so deep, so passionate, so intense that no amount of rejection and suffering has kept Him from His quest! He has been relentless to find His resting place where His fullness can dwell without restraints, without measure, and with the fullest expression.

TO KNOW THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS

To swallow the Words of Jesus is to swallow Him. To swallow Jesus’ works is to swallow Him. We each are given the right to eat at His table every day and we need to pursue Him until we find our rightful daily portion. It is vital to know the Presence of God and Who He is, now and in the days to come.  So, that when we are exposed to the supernatural, we may accurately discern between the religious mindset and hearts of God and men. We will not be able to do this unless we have supped with and swallowed Jesus, and known Him and the fellowship of His sufferings.

Phil 3:7-11 NKJV

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. He truly bears our grief and sorrows and He will use any available vessel He can to seek out and minister to those who are suffering. And God says, “Who will go for Me? Who is willing to walk in My shoes and carry My heart?” When you go, you shall see the labor of His soul and be satisfied.

Isa 53:2-12 NKJV

He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief .And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked — But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief .When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

EMOTIONAL INTIMACY

HEARD 8/05/09: Fellowship. You have reached a point in My message. We are one. Our thoughts, drama, emotions.

WORD TO PONDER: EMOTIONAL INTIMACY WITH MY MESSAGE 8/05/09

I AM raining upon the hearts of My people and bringing their thoughts, emotions and subsequent drama into alignment with My message. I AM now pouring My Presence upon circumstances that will quickly bring the tares in souls to the surface. In a quick work, it shall be made manifest exactly what does not line up with My way and My image.

Likewise, I AM raining the same upon those places that are already consecrated and cleansed. In those places, My message shall come forth through the purity of thoughts and emotions and shall be released through greater drama in the events of life.

Listen closely to what is climaxing in your life, whether to cleanse your soul or to release My Message. Cling desperately to Me as these things come to a peak and become manifest and released. I AM with you, dear one!

John 11:33-36 NKJV

Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, "See how He loved him!"

Matt 23:37-39 NLT

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me. And now look, your house is left to you, empty and desolate. For I tell you this, you will never see me again until you say, 'Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!' "

Matt 21:13 NKJV

Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'"
