THROUGH THE HEART OF STONE

[He is Knocking on the Door of Our Mortared Hearts]

PROPHETIC VISITATION 6/19/04: THROUGH THE HEART OF STONE

HEARD: Pack all your cares away. Don’t take them for another day. I will go with you. Abandonment. I have never left you. I want you to sink deeply into your roots in Me. I understand. I have walked where you are walking. It’s not about your flesh, it’s about My power working through you. Weakness. I am training you. You can handle this. It’s about Me living in you. That’s all that matters. Retreat? Never. Move forward into place. My beloved Bride. I am standing by your side. Don’t argue. Enlargement. I am your full measure. You will not fall. My keeping power. We have to do it My way. I’m going to send you. Way past yourself. Leader. Into My throne room. Trust Me.

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Heb 13:5-6 NKJV

For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

Eph 4:13-14 NKJV

Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

HEARD: Knock, knock. Your emotions. They are under control, you are doing very well. It feels like a roller coaster, I know. I want you to experience these things so you will understand your children. In and out and up and down. My oh my and all around.

============

NOTE: Upon hearing Him mention the roller coaster, the Holy Spirit brought back to my memory the following Word to Ponder:

ROLLER COASTER RIDE 1/25/03

I know that your feelings have felt like a roller coaster ride from the bottom to the top, and up and down again. First you’re sad, then you’re glad. Up and down and down and up. My what a time it has been!

Just like a tea pot, I have tipped you over and poured you out. Smile with Me and feel the joy that the strongholds have finally fallen in your life. These were mind-sets that you thought would never change but are now radically different. Just wait until you see the fruit! Yes, I know, you have waited long enough and you’re tired of pouring steam. So let’s move on now, one wonderful day a time. Proceed carefully and your road will be a whole lot smoother this time.

"Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God." (Luke 3:5-6 KJV)

[Visitation continued]

HEARD: Knock, knock, knock.

VISION: I saw a wooden chamber door with a rounded arch at the top, just large enough for a person to enter. I could see the outside of this small chamber room connecting to the door and it was mortared in cobblestones. I had the impression that the room was almost round, but not quite.

HEARD: Come in.

VISION: I saw the door opened and I felt the movement of walking in through the door.

HEARD: Got you!

[When I hear His still small voice, usually there is not emotion or inflection. His inner audible voice has inflection. But sometimes I do get strong inflection in hearing His still small voice. When I heard, "Got you!" it was very cheerful and I felt His humor and joy.]

OPENED SMELL: The inside of the room was dripping heavy with a man’s perfume. It was like what Wayne wears that I love so much, but this was more poignant and I knew it was the Lord. It was an overwhelmingly beautiful aroma with great attraction and drawing.

NOTE: Evidently the Lord had been listening to my thoughts yesterday about Wayne’s cologne. Sometimes Wayne will hug me and nestle his cheek against my face right after putting it on. Then later in the day I have noticed the yummy smell lingering upon me and I love it. As I was thinking about this, the Holy Spirit brought to mind the following scriptures:

Song 5:13 NKJV

His cheeks are like a bed of spices, banks of scented herbs. His lips are lilies, dripping liquid myrrh.

Song 5:4-5 NKJV

My beloved put his hand by the latch of the door, and my heart yearned for him. I arose to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.

HEARD: Would You please show us our future? It’s a destiny made in heaven. For My purpose. Within the deep recesses. Come Holy Spirit. I won’t be denied. It’s a joy and a life as you experience it together side by side. One. They shall all know You. Room. Your hearts of stone to pulse once again.

QUICKENED IMPRESSION AND MEMORY: The Lord has been recently talking to me about His melting and changing our hearts of stone. As I watched an old Star Trek, there was a scene in sick bay where they had a stone about the size of a small heart and it lit up and played different sounds for whoever held the stone in their hand. This was really quickened to me that our Doctor Jesus has our hearts in His hands and He is doing Master surgery upon them.

On the outside of the stone were all these beautiful natural colored stones that were mortared or embedded into it. The stones glowed and pulsed with light and were alive in the song. I was reminded that the stone looked similar to the mortared cobblestone surrounding the chamber room, so both represent the heart’s of stone coming alive.

HEARD: Heart of prayer. Stone. Right now, to feel again. What is lacking? She’s afraid. Vulnerable. It’s OK. I want to reassure her. I’m not leaving. Abandonment. She seems hard pressed, I know. I’m doing the work in her heart on the go. It’s for My children, you see. To understand their destiny. Volunteer lovers, who will go for Me? Only those who want My way on earth.

WORD TO PONDER 6/19/04 A WAY THROUGH THE HEART OF STONE

My beloved Bride, pack all your cares away and leave them with Me. Lean heavily upon Me as you sup with your roots grounded in My love. I understand your weaknesses and feelings of vulnerabilities, I also once walked the earth, you know. Always remember, it is not about your own power, but My power working through you. As you experience your weakness, draw deeply from our well and never retreat. I AM moving you forward into your place. I AM sending you and preparing you for leadership. Now trust Me.

Right now your emotions seem to be up and down and all around. I also understand this and want you to understand. As I AM moving you into your place, I AM also doing heart surgery. I AM opening a way through your heart of stone, this heart that is well barricaded with years of mortar for protection. I AM knocking upon the door of your heart with yearnings and wooing and tender caresses, I AM drawing you with the fragrance of My poignant spices. As you enter into this new place, you will be overcome with the rich smell of My Presence and passionate longings to embrace your heart. As you finally let go and let the climax of our union come to fruition, your heart will pulse once again. This stone of an existence you once knew will spring to life and pulsate with vibrate color and rich sounds that are unique to you.

Watch now, as I move you into the new beginnings with growing foundations that are solid, healthy and strong. Your hearts are becoming tenderized after many years of loss, pain, tragedy and sorrow. Allow Me access to do this work within you I greatly rejoice in you, My beloved ones, - always.

I understand this is greatly disconcerting to you, - to feel so vulnerable and without protection. You see the risks of loss and can not fathom a recovery should a tragedy take place. Precious one, know that I AM the Great Doctor. I do all things well. I will not abandon you, I will never leave you, I AM your destiny. Yes, volunteer love is different than the security of legal contracts. Consider this, that I too have weighed the risks and I have chosen to love you as you are, to embrace you as My own, and to call you My friend. Love is like that.

Ezek 11:19-21 NKJV

Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,20 that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
