Did Not Our Hearts Burn
Within Us?
And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:32
There is just something about being in the presence of Jesus that sets the heart on fire. This scripture came to mind this evening after pondering the things of the Kingdom. Jesus said the Kingdom of God is within us. It is not an outward Kingdom but first and foremost it is a Kingdom that is in the hearts of Gods elect. His heart needs to be burning in us. We are told to seek the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness and everything will be added unto us. If we seek Him first the Lord will take care of the rest. How awesome is that!
We need to take God at His word with all the cares of this life that are looming before us daily. We need to let Him take total reign in our hearts. Without this beloved the business of the Kingdom will not be completed. Christ must reign in our hearts and the cross applied to our hearts daily. Paul said, I die daily and we too must die daily to all that we would desire in our own flesh. Without Him we can truly do absolutely nothing worthwhile. It is Christ in us the hope of glory.
A repentant walk must take place and our flesh must die so that we might see His resurrection power pour forth from pure vessels. Are we desiring holiness? Are we wanting to walk in love one toward another?
The Kingdom of God is righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. To keep these three working in our hearts and reigning then we must keep that close relationship Jesus kept with the Father. There is just no way around spending time with the Father. Desiring the presence of the Lord above all else is what it is about beloved. Now there is none that has arrived, not one that has attained to this walk but we press on to the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Let there be that longing in your heart to come closer. The disciples summed it up so well. Did not our hearts burn within us! Is your heart burning and on fire for Jesus or have the earthly things of this world dimmed the light and fire in your life? Do you spend more time in ministry and ministering than ever settling down to one hour with Jesus? The disciples could not take one hour with Him without falling asleep. What is your excuse today? Are we spending time with the Father?
Softly tenderly the Spirit of God is calling. He is saying,come and spend time in the presence of the Lord. Come and meet with Me and I will tell you great and wonderful things. Come and spend time with Me and I will show you your heart. Come and meet with Me and I will show you the battle plans to combat the enemy. Come and spend time with Me and pray for the lost and I will save them. Come into the presence of the Lord and I will do a very necessary work in your life. Take time beloved, take time and just sit with Me awhile. The Spirit of God is entreating you to come to Him. Come to Him now and let Him take complete control of your life. You have struggled. You have almost given up so why not let Him do a complete and lasting work in your heart. Jesus is calling and saying, come closer and I will welcome you with open arms.

Silver And Gold Have I None
SILVER AND GOLD HAVE I NONE
Jesus paid the price in full for us to be free and walk a redemptive walk, full of glory and grace and yet the church is lacking the power we see so visibly on the day of Pentecost. We wonder why we do not walk full of His glory and see the signs, wonders and miracles that the apostles and others saw in the book of Acts. They were in this world but not of it. They had seen Jesus and did not want the world anymore. Yet, we have a church today that has a foot in the world and a foot in the church and we wonder why there is no power. They saw diseases instantly healed! There was not of this progressive healing but Peter said, "silver and gold have I none but such have I give I you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk". We want the power but do not want to pay the price. They died daily to all the world had to offer and walked in the power of the Spirit.
Paul said, "I thank my God, I SPEAK WITH TONGUES more than ye all:" and we as a people have a problem with speaking in tongues. The new testament church would not be here today if they had not been filled with the Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and they did not spend time with endless arguments over the initial evidence. They saw the evidence so much, so that some thought that there were full of new wine. Let us cry out to the Lord for a fresh infilling of His Spirit. Let us cry out and be willing to pay the price for His power in our lives. The Lord is soon returning and His Kingdom will rule and reign forever. We will reign with Him and His bride will be one that is full of His power and glory.
God help us church to get it right. Let us take time with Him and centre in His love. Let us seek Him and find Him with our whole heart and be willing to pay the price instead of like some spending the evening watching television. God help the church to begin to move with the Lord. He paid the price in full! Are you willing to pay the price for His power in your life? Begin to move in His direction. Say, yes Lord I will pay the price. I will call on your name, pray in My prayer language and believe you for miracles. I will do what the Word of God says and put into practice the whole counsel of God. Yes, I have decided to follow Jesus and it means more than a bunch of do's and don'ts it means living our whole life for Him and following Jesus because you love Him.
Take up your cross and follow Me. It is time to deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me. I paid the price in full for your healing. Yet, you have not because you ask not. Seek Me and find Me and you will find me when you seek me with your whole heart. Cry out to Me beloved! Cry out to Me, pray and seek My face fervently. I am the Lord!. Read My word for it now available to you. It will not always be there and in the future you will desire that you had spent time with Me. Call on Me with your whole heart, seek Me, and Me alone, says the Lord.
