Lord, Let your perfect love find your precious daughter/ son right now and, and in the deep loss and grief, come and fill  his or her heart.

The purpose of this article is to give you a guideline for prayer to pray over your land. We can not forget this mandate to restore our own hearts.- not only that of the land in this prayer. Our own sanctification heals our land.   

The Bible is clear we live from the abundance of our hearts!! It is from the heart that the living water of Jesus flows. On our heart the Word is written. But so many of us, due to early childhood pain and wounds of our heart have another’s words written on them…

Let your perfect love find your precious daughter/ son right now and, and in the deep loss and grief, come and fill  his or her heart.

Forgiveness is at the very core of God’s heart. Is it at the core of ours? Spend just a little time soaking in that glorious truth woven throughout scripture. It will will free you when you really grasp the truth of it.  Micah 7:18 states that God delights in showing Mercy.

Compassionately, I sat as I heard yet another woman’s journey of horrific and painful childhood physical and emotional abuse. It didn’t take much time for her story to penetrate to the deep places of my heart. …and I wept.

Today there is one message Heidi preaches that strikes a place in the heart in all of us-that is,  if we let it…A message asking every Christian around the globe,  not to live with a Christian Orphan Heart  but with a heart that knows the Fathers love.

Without that continual sanctification process of the cross, we cannot love well.  Even when we seek to love others deeply from a heart filled with Jesus, we eventually tap into our own woundedness.  But God is relentlessly seeking to accomplish restoration in our hearts! 

"What do you really want?" This article is a metaphorical answer to a question I was asked at a Ruach Retreat held by Elizabeth and Sylvia Gunter of who I was created to be. A question similar to what Jesus asked Bartemeous in Mark 10:43. “what do you really want? “

I used to wonder why God had waited for so long to bring me deeper into my calling in life, deeper into my dreams of leading others to Jesus… healing the hearts of people and even nations-- well at least in the way I thought it could and would happen.   But I couldn’t be more contented that He asked me to take a much longer road than some…to mold me into what he wanted me to be to BE for the world.

Holding the box out in my hand,  I looked at Jesus and asked Him ‘Is this my heart Jesus?’ He stared at me in silence.  Feeling rather indignant that he wasn’t responding to my question - I  asked again with a little more pressure “Is this my heart?” He walked away, again in silence, leaving me alone to decide.  I woke up obviously realizing there was something pretty important Jesus was trying to show me in that dream. 

Too often , I believe, the Body of Christ emphasizes that the battlefield is in the mind (especially in the Western World) but forgets that the wellspring of life is from the heart.  And that it is in our hearts that we believe. ( Romans 9:10-11) It cannot be denied that we have to take all things captive to the obedience of Christ because 2 Corinthians 10:5 commands us to do just that. 

It was a huge crowd surrounding Jesus. The disciples most likely still pondering their earlier reprimand from Jesus concerning which of them would be honored most in heaven. Imagine the scene. Jesus asked James and John, “What do you want me to do for you?”.

Bartimaeus was a blind beggar at the city gate. When he heard that it was Jesus who was coming with a huge crowd, he cried out to him. The crowd, quite chagrined at his need, tried to silence his voice with harsh words. Yet Bartimaeus was undeterred.
