“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”
The salvation of souls filled with the Spirit of Christ as they respond to the person of the Holy Spirit will be the only way to changing culture and society.
To see more clearly the heart of God as an individual, in Nations and globally.
The heart has to be arrested for a divine purpose by an encounter. God doing an internal work which will have an external manifestation to set hearts on fire.
The spiritual truth is that there is a difference between a heart on ice with knowledge and a heart on fire with knowledge by experiential encounter.
‘This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Both are called faith and belief but the latter is stepping into the walk and talk as a life where the fear of man is superseded by the reverential fear of God .
God provides enough light for those with a real desire to see and enough obscurity for those without that hunger.
There will be critics and those offended. God will offend minds to reveal hearts.
The mind will not lead us to revival, only the heart. Peace is a person and is governmentally superior to all understanding. There is a giving up of the right to understand to submitting to believing and receiving.
The heart alone can take us to the willingness for risk and to follow whatever God is doing.
The assignment never changes.
The exchange of us becoming heart, soul and body in union with Christ and His kingdom to open doors to be gone through and to bring others through.
To know who we are face to face with who He is and to experience the holiness of God. To go forth into glory.
To be immersed in His presence. To be talking to Him not to just a God or power.
To see what new thing He is doing and in abandonment go along with it is the cost and route of revival.
“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped;”
We are distracted often doing jobs that Jesus has not appointed us to.
We are invited into a relationship and a journey. We are not made to settle into favour , get used to it and stay there. The best is always ahead . ‘From glory to glory ‘.
Filter out all that doesn’t matter and simply pursue the One that does. Magnify His name.
If we have tried to box in the wind of the Spirit. If we have exchanged the fire of the Spirit for the ice of religious pride.
If we have turned the wine back into water and then let the water go stagnant and lukewarm.
We have traded in and lost the gentle peace of the dove and the joy and beautiful person of Christ and all that comes with the promises of The Father.
Love wins. We are desperate for Revival.
To regain all that could be lost and know heaven on earth and a ripe harvest.
The illustration shows the body of living stones with a heart or core powered by the fire of the Holy Spirit or on the ice of religious pride. The energy of the power of the Holy Spirit the revival light pushing back the darkness.
