H-ear-t part 4
When you hear (with your heart) what the Spirit is speaking... that's when you can experience what is happening in the supernatural realm. And I use that term specifically because the supernatural is when God's super swallows up our natural. When heaven touches earth, if I can say it that way. On earth as it is in heaven. Letting what is Spiritual envelope what is natural. The days of heaven on earth. That's what the Spirit is speaking. Look at Revelation 22:17, "And the Spirit and the bride say, Com. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." When you hear what the Spirit says, you can say what the Spirit says. When you know what is inside (when you know and believe that the love of God is inside) you can let it out. That's what the heart is for. That's what we were created for. Man lives from the inside out. What you believe is inside WILL come out. Whatever you believe it is. Good. Bad. Or ugly. Because, well, look at Proverbs 23:7, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee." As you think in your heart... so are you. The center of the heart is the ear. The ear to hear what the Spirit is saying. The Divine Order is knowing and believing. Because you can't believe what you don't know. Faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word of God. When you heart the Spirit and the bride say, "Come," not only can YOU come, but you can invite others to come. You can heed the Word, and you can spread the Word. You can let God's Word (which is Jesus, which is love) in and out of you with every breath you take and every move you make. You can let what's REALLY inside (again, the love of God) come out by knowing and believing it's in there. Letting God love you and loving Him back by loving the people you come into contact with. That's the secret of life. That's what this life is for. That's what it's all about. Hearing God say, "I love you" with every beat of HIS heart in our chests, and loving Him back by loving people. We love because He first loved us. You hear it, then you can say it. That's what being a witness is all about. Sharing your experience. Telling people what you've seen and heard. Letting them know how good God is by showing them how good He is. But it starts in the heart. The heart of the matter is the heart. Everything flows from the heart. So listen to the heart. Listen WITH the heart. Filter everything through the heart. The heart is only concerned with one thing--love. Let your heart be your guide. Let love be your guide. If you don't know what to do, do what you know--love people. You can always love people. You can always let God's love--that is already inside you--come out. And you don't have to worry about whether they "deserve" it or not. Whether they've "earned" it or not. You can just love them anyway. Love them without condition. Becaust love is unconditional. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Nothing. So, really, nothing should be able to separate us from each other, when we build that bridge of love. If you love someone, you can suffer anything. Love is longsuffering. I think that's one of it's (HIS) best qualities. Love endures. We don't need to build walls around our heart. That's not how you guard, or keep, your heart. You keep your heart by keeping it open. Keeping it open to love. Let the love keep flowing. It comes FROM God THROUGH us ONTO and INTO the people we come into contact with. That's what the Spirit is speaking. That's what we can hear with our h-ear-ts!
