Hello, Brothers, Sisters, and Heartdwellers family. A few days ago, I got some news that really disappointed me and hurt quite a bit. I was betrayed by someone I had been introduced to in Ghana, and this wasn’t the first time. I found myself so angry and frustrated. I had left Ghana a wounded warrior because of all the battles and the various betrayals I had encountered. And now again, just when I thought I was being strengthened and healed, I thought, “How would I react if I saw the person this time? I wouldn’t be nice”, I said to myself. I had prayed and asked the Lord to help me forgive this soul in my heart, and even prayed for them. When we first met, I thought we could have even been friends, and now I wanted no part or thought in that.
I thought of all the various scenarios that could take place—and I was mean in all of them. I sighed because I knew that was not what the Lord wanted, but I thought, “How do I go about this, Lord?”
The Scripture kept popping up in my head, “Entrust your heart to know man.” As I thought, how can I befriend or love someone but not entrust my heart to them? This also came up when I was on the mountain. There was a soul I thought for sure we could be very close friends, and I was excited to get to know them. But I pulled the Rhema concerning the soul the day they arrived, that said, “Entrust your heart to know man.” Jesus did not entrust his heart to man because he knew what was in their heart”.
John 3: 23-26
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in His name [identifying themselves with Him] after seeing His signs (attesting miracles) which He was doing. 24 But Jesus, for His part, did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all people [and understood the superficiality and fickleness of human nature], 25 and He did not need anyone to testify concerning man [and human nature], for He, Himself knew what was in man [in their hearts—in the very core of their being].
I thought, “Aww, wow, really, Lord? I thought I had a best friend, and it made me wonder what was in that soul’s heart that you didn’t want me to get too close. So, I was friendly and nice but didn’t open up too much. But I always wondered why, Lord, I couldn’t get close. As I pondered these things last night. I could sense Jesus downloading many thoughts to me, but I got busy with the little one and was unable to write. So, this morning I felt he was going to pick up where he left off.
My Rhema reading and Lord’s Supper reading brought back to my mind what He was discussing with me yesterday, and confirmed what he was saying
My Lord’s Supper reading was from Jeremiah 17:5-8
This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives. 7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
I came before the Lord; I am so sorry, my mind is all over the place, Lord. I am here to hear from you, words of eternal life. What’s on your heart, Jesus?
Jesus began,
“Some trust in horses, some trust in chariots, but you trust in the name of Your Lord. Lean on Me and lean on Me alone, Beloved.
“You forgot to lift up those souls to Me in prayer today. I would like you to do that, it pleases Me very much.
“I want to talk to you about loving on people but not entrusting your heart to them. I began yesterday, but you got too busy, and I would like to continue. That is why I gave you that Rhema today, to answer your question. I am pleased you have made an act of your will to forgive. Continue to forgive daily, that is needed. I will help you. You see, broken souls, cut people, repaired and healed souls repair and heal others. So, do not be surprised by the betrayals you will encounter because there are many more along the way. That is the road of the cross, and that is the highest form of love and sacrifice, to pray for and love those who betray you in any way.
“Forgiveness does not mean they come in proximity of you or even that you befriend them again, for that matter.. I would prefer, My brides, you seek Me on each individual. There have been such souls with Mother Clare who have hurt her deeply, and I have asked her to forgive and to let go. There have been other souls I have asked her to forgive and told her to continue to nurture and help them along the way. So again, it’s a journey and doing life with Me moment by moment. No two souls are the same, so do not force anyone who has been hurt or offended by another to befriend them right away in order to forgive that person, as you were counselling that soul.
Just an aside, the situation in Ghana, again, with two souls who help with our ministry, I had warned them that the enemy was going to try to divide them. And, sure enough, the assignment came and… the first assignment came, and they were able to overcome it. The second assignment came, and they were no longer friends. She mentioned that she had forgiven the soul. But the truth is, I could hear the resentment in her heart towards the soul, and she wanted absolutely nothing to do with the soul, but she said she had forgiven the soul. I was trying to counsel her that,, I’m not sure you can forgive someone and say that you want nothing to do with them. You know, that’s really not forgiving them, it shows that you still harbour resentment or frustration towards them. But, it seems here, that the Lord is saying that you can forgive someone, sincerely from the heart, and that it doesn’t mean you have to befriend them and that each situation, I guess, is different is different. There are many in my life whom the Lord has had me actually be friends still, who have hurt me, and still love on them. Very few times has He ever told me to let go or not to talk to the person.
Jesus continued
“Seek Me out as to My will and allow Me to bring the healing and reconciliation. Many times, when you attempt to forgive and befriend the one who has offended you, right away, and not deal with this hidden offense or wound, you rather incur more resentment, and bitterness grows, which was more deadly than the former and you cannot be honest in your dealings with them because you are still holding to that offense in your heart.
“I rather prefer you come to Me and allow Me to heal and repair the damage as you pray for them, making an act of your will to forgive. Then befriend them again if I lead you to do so. Friendship requires relationship, but that should not stop you, My brides, from being kind and compassionate towards your offender and praying for them.
“Don’t hold it in your heart against them and do not entrust your heart to them., My brides, by the way, I am not talking about marriage. I can hear some of you murmuring and giving yourself the green light to distance yourself from your spouse in an offense. No, that is not what I am saying. This is for a soul not yoked to you in marriage who offends, hurts you, or betrays you. You see, when I walked the earth, I was very well aware of human nature and characteristics. I knew humanity’s frailty that they could love you one day and hate you the next. They could praise you and in the same way criticize you. They could bless you and from that same mouth curse you. How fickle human love is, so much so I came to show what true love was meant to be—unconditional, keeping no record of wrong, very patient, forgiving, and selfless because, again, I came to give of Myself entirely and not expect to get anything back. That is how you are able to love that way. When you love with no expectation, and when you guard your heart.
“You had asked how can one love, but not entrust their heart at the same time? To entrust your heart means to give your heart to another in full trust and confidence. If you do that to anyone, even your spouse, at some point, you will be disappointed. You are called to entrust your heart to Me and Me alone. There are souls I will bring along your journey for seasons who will love in brotherly love and care for you deeply. They are part of the family, the body of Christ. For I said, those who have given up houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, will receive a hundred-fold now in this time; houses, brothers and sisters, and mothers and children also. But put no expectations upon them, for where there is flesh, there is weakness and opportunities for disappointment. So, entrust your heart to no one. Love them instead.”
That was the end of Jesus’ message
I wanted to share the rhema message I got from Mother Clare’s Rhema II book as well. The title is Joy. Taken from: I Am Your Hidden God
“Well, these people are weak and prone to sin, there are none that are perfect. All have fallen short, but I do not ask you to form a relationship with a person. I ask you to come to Me, and let Me teach you who I AM. You will never get this in a church made up of imperfect people. Never. But if you tuck away in your prayer closet and seek Me you will find Me and you will learn that I am meek and gentle of heart, and all I care about is your welfare. I will not encourage you to get back at those who hurt you. They will meet themselves soon enough in the halls of My justice. I will encourage you to forgive, forget, and walk away so that you can become all I have made you to be.
“If you do not, you are going to be locked into a conflict, anger and hatred, and retribution for your whole life. If you choose to hold a grudge, you will be chained to revenge, an angry demon who wants to destroy both you and the other person. If you walk away from this poison and take My hand and let Me lead you into the life I always meant for you, you will find joy and fulfilment. I entrusted Myself to no man, because I knew their hearts were weak and easily swayed into changing to be against Me. I encourage you to trust no man to the point where they might fail you, because they are only weak flesh and blood. But I am not weak. I offered up My body and Blood to pay for your sins because I am the only Son of God, begotten by the Holy Spirit in the womb of a virgin.”
So, may that resonate with us all. When we find ourselves in a predicament of betrayal, of being wounded or hurt by others, to entrust our heart to no one, but to love them instead.
God bless you, family, until the next message.
