Empty Yourself And I Will Fill

Hello, brothers and sisters and Heartdwellers family.

It was a rough day; I had some misunderstandings with a soul, and I was truly injured by all that had transpired. I felt so weary in battle, more like just wanting to give up everything. I was empty of reacting or feeling. I could hear the enemy taunting me about My prayers, mocking me with scorn that nothing was changing. I found myself having no desire to pray—and was sick on top of this all. Not only heart sick but physically coming down with something.

During worship, the Lord, knowing the state of my heart and pain, played some wonderful songs of comfort, reassurance, and His love, over me. One of the songs was called “Wounded Soldier” by The Ruppes. The lyrics were beautiful, and it said:

You went out to the front line

Committed to the cause

You fought the fight of faith

You truly gave your all

And now you lie there wounded

With a bleeding heart

You cry for help

But help just seems so far

And you wonder

Where the other soldiers are

I am coming for you

Wounded soldier

I will gently carry you

Upon My shoulder

I will give you time to mend

‘Til you can fight again

There’s no need to fear

I am right here

Wounded soldier

Sometimes the greatest battles

Arе fought within your soul

No one sees your struggles

‘Cause you won’t lеt them show

You’re the walking wounded

Pretending to be strong

But deep inside

You’re barely hanging on

And it’s hard to find

The courage to go on

I am coming for you

Wounded soldier

I will gently carry you

Upon My shoulder

I will give you time to mend

‘Til you can fight again

There’s no need to fear

I am right here

I just balled my eyes out, having nothing left in me, to say the least. I knew it was okay not to be okay—and finally, was okay with that.

I pulled the Rhemas after the Lord’s Supper and the first card was so sweet, it said;

“I have forgiven you and you are loved, remember that.”

The second said, Holy Spirit on the front, and then on the back it said;

”Listen to my strong words. I have poured out My Spirit upon you and made My words known to you.”

So I knew Holy Spirit wanted me to listen for his voice. So I waited and came before Him.

Good morning Holy Spirit, I am here, your sweet daughter is listening.

Holy Spirit began,

“More like My sweet little friend”,

Aw, Lord, you’re too kind. I have been truly a hot mess these past few days—full of emotions and rancor in my heart. Please forgive me.

“You are forgiven, Little One, keep the Rhema card in mind, ‘You are forgiven and loved’. Always remember that, even when you mess up. There is so much grace and mercy towards you because you have shown great mercy towards others. That is a little secret many do not understand. As the Scripture says, ‘I will have mercy on whom I will have Mercy’”.

Romans 9:15-18

For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

“Many times Christians who do not understand Our heart, find it a bit uncomfortable, as if We have favorites and choose whom We desire to shower Our mercy on.

“However, you must read between the lines and know Our heart. The mercy of God is a bottomless ocean that is unreachable. This Mercy is made available for all, especially those who are merciful as we are merciful and will always have access to the Mercy of God. The more mercy you show, My beloved little one, the more mercy you are given.”

Luke 6:35-38 came to my mind, the scripture as He mentioned;

Love Your Enemies

But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Do Not Judge

37 Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

I thought, I get it now Holy Spirit. I kept wondering why I got that Rhema twice.

Empty yourself…Continue to empty and I will fill.

I got it again yesterday, going through my trial, and I was a bit annoyed and wondered, how can I empty myself? What does that mean? I am sorry.

As an aside, guys, this trial was very humbling. I found myself so angry, resentful, and so frustrated, just wanting to give up—wanting to stop trying, and being kind, etc. I felt I was just being taken for granted. But every time, the Lord would calm my emotions and have me extend mercy. I didn’t realize it was even Divine Mercy Sunday when this trial hit, and here I was, having to show mercy again. I had to step away for a long while to attend to Father Derrick, but in faith, came back to see if the Holy Spirit would continue our conversation.

Holy Spirit responded,

“You are getting My sentiments and inspirations, Little One. Thank you for returning. I do want to continue with this message because it will help so many. Many use the above Scripture in verse 38 concerning financial blessings but rather it is heavenly blessings that you receive. The currency exchange in heaven is ‘virtue’.

“You are going through a trial where you have had to give much grace, give much mercy, patience, and act in love. That is emptying yourself. You are not walking in the flesh or thinking of yourself but have emptied your selfish desires and self-love rather to react in virtue which is heaven’s currency.

“The more you react in virtue the more you receive. The more you empty yourself and respond like Christ the more you receive. Any time you give and show someone mercy it’s an extraction from the graces you have, so it depletes you and therefore it must be replenished. When you decide not to judge another but give them grace, that too is depleted from you. When you decide not to condemn but show a soul mercy it is depleted and must be replenished. When you show a soul charity, patience, compassion, kindness—all of these virtues are graces that are depleted from your bank and must be replenished.

“Replenishment comes from above. The Father looks upon a soul who resembles Him or responds like Him and therefore gives to the soul in good measure, pressed down shaken together, and running over in the same measure they have used to give to others.

“So when you forgive a soul, it leaves room for you to be forgiven by the Father. When you show mercy in great measures, the Father will show great measures of mercy to you. When you show charity, the Father will ensure charity will be showered on you, where you will lack nothing from His providence. You know that very well. You are blessed with provision because you help so many people, you give to the poor and needy at a great measure and therefore your needs are provided for at a greater measure.

“My beloved souls, if you would live by this rule, you would lack nothing, and the world would have more Christ-like Christians walking this earth. Too many hold on to themselves, hold on to their self-love and selfish ways. Too many hold on to their pain, their offense, their injustice and don’t realize it’s a blessing to you to respond like your Father would. Rather you receive every single time, you receive more of what you give so that you can continue to be a blessing to others. When met with a curse you bless, when met with hate your love, when met with an offense you give grace, when met with injustice you show mercy, when met with stinginess you give ‘cheerfully and abundantly, when met with ingratitude you show hospitality. You continue to empty, and we will fill.

“That was the secret to Blessed Mother’s life, why she was able to retain being so full of grace (Luke 1:26-28). She never lost the graces but accumulated the heavenly currency to overflow because she gave of herself entirely to God in overflow. She never denied the Father anything He desired, allowed, or willed in her life but responded in virtue, always extending grace, and therefore she was given much grace which she continued to use in every circumstance and contradiction she was met with. She showed many kindness when met with coldness and betrayal. She humbled herself and acted like her Son and Savior Jesus.

“That is why so many trials are being given to Heartdwellers. From where we sit, these are opportunities to be joyous about because they give you an opportunity to do a heavenly transaction—to receive and to be replenished. It is such a blessing to the soul who would understand this and grasp all I tell you wholeheartedly.

“So now when another painful inconvenience meets you, you can look heavenward and say ‘I will show mercy to receive more mercy. Lord, I will show more grace to receive more grace. Lord, I show more meekness so that I will be met with more meekness in others. Lord, I submit to being more long-suffering so that I may receive more endurance and strength.’”

That was the end of Holy Spirit’s message.

Wow. Lord, give us the grace to remember that when we are going through our difficult trials.

Thank you, family, again for your support and prayers. God has been so faithful. Don’t forget the Phase 2 project of the building of the City of God. We are almost at the halfway goal. Woo Hoo!

We have enough to pay for mulch at the port and to begin bulldozing and excavating but we will then need funds to begin preparing the land for farming and building after clearing. So please think of us, any amount would be appreciated. Donate to our GoFundMe link for the City of God. If you decide to use PayPal, please put a note [as to] where the funds should go. We also are in need of funds to continue to support other Heartdwellers missionaries and ministries so please donate so we can send them their monthly support. You can send that to PayPal.

God bless you, family, until the next message!
