Knowing God's Heart

Knowing God’s Heart
7-8-9

I want My love to be special to My people. Many are the servants who, when loved, become heady and high-minded and the specialness of My love is lost. But a servant must progress to one in authority to be of service to the Master. And a slave must be given worth in order to see worth. So I enter into a relationship of love with My people.

In the past, the law was a guardian, teaching right from wrong (Gal 3:19,24). But it was never My design that Man would get to know Me through rules and regulations. I want Man to know the essence of Me; My heart. So I sent My Son, and then the Holy Spirit. My Son Jesus showed men what I was like. The Spirit will continue to teach a Man about what pleases Me and what displeases Me. He, the Spirit, will open up the scriptures so that My heart can be seen in them. If you know the motive of the Author’s heart, you know what He is writing.

But there is a deeper relationship for My people than one of Teacher-student. To know My motive is an intellectual understanding; to know what moves My heart is love. Love knows the other person’s heart, and cares about it. Now, and evil mistress will learn about her lover’s heart and use what she finds out for her own advantage. Therefore I test My people before I reveal Myself to them in intimacy. I listen to their words Mal 3:16-18), and look upon their actions to see and hear what their heart’s response is to their knowledge of My heart. When I see that I can entrust the knowledge of what moves My heart to a man or a woman, it causes Me treat joy, and the joy is shared with him or her.

Now some servants abide their time doing My will and think in their hearts that I will one day give them freedom to do their own will. These men are not formed into a relationship with Me, for they do not discover what moves My heart, neither are they curious about what makes Me think the way I do. Yet they are obedient and will enter into their reward. However, they see not that their lack of joy will one day compromise their obedience, for a great fatigue comes to those who serve without growing to know their Master’s heart. When I set up the marriage feast they will miss the value of coming, for it will get lost in the shuffle of their busy lives (see the parable of the Wedding feast Mt 22:2-14). These servants are too short-sighted to see that the greater reward is to enter into a loving relationship with Me and the joy I wish to share with them. Therefore it is written that the joy of the Lord is strength (Neh 8:10). The bond of joy between a husband and wife cannot be broken, and the bond of love between Me and My Bride cannot be broken. So the gates of hell will not prevail against Her, My Church (Mt 16:18). My Bride are those to whom I entrust My heart and all that moves me. Amen.
