Love The Lord Your God With All Your Heart, All Your Soul, and All Your Strength

Hello, Brothers, Sisters, and Heartdwellers family,

This morning was a bit rough. I was feeling a little sluggish and heavy. I went online to my Pandora, and I got notifications of new albums from some of the worship artists. One was of a young lady with a beautiful voice, but the cover of her new album looked very sensual. I was surprised by that. She had a new look and everything. I clicked on the album to see the songs and they were more of an R&B love song, not about Jesus. I was a little taken aback because the day before, I saw a former American Idol winner who was bold about their faith, and she too was beautiful— had the “good girl” image. But she came out with a new album and looked very sensual and sexual. I kept thinking, Oh no, what happened the entertainment business got her.

I just couldn’t shake the first young lady off my mind since yesterday. Then seeing another young lady, who sang about her faith, also having a new look, and doing a new thing, made me disheartened. Then I saw another album, that was newly recommended to me, by a young man who also was an American Idol winner— an American Idol contestant [who] sang secular songs but had many songs about his faith in Jesus. He never hid that. His voice is beautiful, but the title of the song was called, “Hell Together”—I thought, whoa, what is going on? In my ignorance, I thought maybe he would encourage people not to go there. But it’s a song about him coming out as gay and leaving the church. The lyrics [were] derived from what his mother told him—that she would never leave his side and would rather go to hell together.

I thought, oh no, Lord, this is too much! I was so saddened as I thought, Lord so many are being lured and pulled away. They all have influence and maybe don’t realize the impact they had made upon young impressionable hearts who were Christians. And now, what will those followers think or do? I was asking the Lord to raise up Christians on fire for Him in the entertainment industry who were artists and would be bold for their Faith, strongly convicted, and not swayed, if it was possible.

Just then, right on the heels of that prayer, I received a message that a very serious trial happened on the mountain and my heart dropped. It was already a rough day. Seeing these things had me disheartened. Now, hearing of this trial, I just thought, Lord, please have mercy. What is going on?

After receiving the Lord I was finding it so hard to consecrate to hear His voice. I was feeling so tired physically as well, but I persevered through, bent on hearing from Him.

I looked at the Rhemas I had gotten the day before which I had left on my desk. It read,

“Every day brings another attack. Every day brings a new victory. I grow strong in you Lord.”

I definitely was feeling the attack, but not so victorious. I began saying, “I can do all things in Christ who strengthens. Lord, help me”.

The following Rhema said,

“Persevere.”

And the third said,

2:52 “Oh God let us reach the whole world”.

Good morning, Jesus what’s on your heart?

Jesus began,

“My heart grieves from all the travesties and tragedies that are coming. That’s why there is an increase in suffering because I need every sacrifice to back up the intercession of My faithful ones.”

Lord, I am devastated by what happened on the mountain.

Jesus continued,

“My beloved, pray for the community continually. They are in need of many backup prayers and are not getting enough. It would be good to suggest that to the other Heartdwellers groups begin praying daily to cover Mother Clare, Father Ezekiel and the community. So many are consumed with what is going on in their own lives, but I need them interceding—standing in the gap wholeheartedly and sincerely for the community.

“Much could be avoided and revealed if more prayed. The attacks will continue to increase on all My brides. I wish I could say differently but remember all of these things are to point you to heaven—to remind you of My soon-approaching return.

“Share with the group in the community to do a Novena for their brother and I will heal and deliver him. It’s important everyone learns to become their brother’s keeper. I will use all of these things for their good. Pray more fervently for Mother Clare and Father Ezekiel, for strength. They are both very weary and need their hands lifted in this battle.

“Also, do not be dismayed as you see many falling away leaving their first love to chase their affections to become relevant.”

As an aside, Jesus is now addressing the artists I talked about.

“Oh, these precious souls, were called to sing for My glory—to be worshippers leading many others into worship—into My presence to be transformed. It grieves Me dearly, but if you pray, I will show mercy towards these in hopes that they will respond to grace at a later time and not leave their souls to be damned for all eternity. Just as I shared with you this morning, be not dismayed—even now I am raising many to be a voice in the wildness. I will put these chosen souls in key places and positions of authority, and influence, and some called to fame, but they will be My children and I will Be their God. They will not bow down their knee to Baal as so many have done because of influence and pressures—because their faith wasn’t strong, their convictions were not strong their love for Me was not strong. So, therefore, they have been lured away. “

What came to mind was 1 John 2:15-17

Don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible. For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, the allurement of the things of the world, and the obsession with status and importance—none of these things come from the Father but from the world. This world and its desires are in the process of passing away, but those who love to do the will of God live forever.

“That is why I always stated the greatest commandment to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.

Deuteronomy 6:2-6 (and this was my Lord’s Supper reading)

2…so that you, your children, and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.

Family, that is a reminder to me, even in Ministry and in Christ, how easily we can all leave our first love. How easy is it for us to fall from grace and be influenced? I am sure [for] these artists it didn’t happen overnight. It was subtle, gradual, and little by little the small foxes stole the vine of your love, and before you knew it you began to loosen your conviction, and your thinking, then unbelief creeps in with doubt and there can go your faith. Lord, have mercy on all of us and help me and none of us to judge.

“My beloved brides, this alone will sustain you in the most difficult situations. When you are met with compromise you will not do it, but cling to Me and My love instead. Many hearts are growing cold, but many more others are having the embers stirred as they are being fanned into flames of My Divine burning love to be used to reach the whole world.

“Heartdwellers is among this group. Do not be dismayed, My beloved brides, by what you see and even what you experience. There are more who are for Me than those against Me because one soul who loves Me encompasses all of Heaven and has the Kingdom of God within. When they speak, what they do, and what they say has meaning and all of Heaven backs them up. Therefore, it doesn’t matter how many Satan is able to lure away or how many servants he has that he uses as puppets. One loving believer is greater than a thousand of satan’s most dedicated servants. One soul can affect the change of so many people, nations, and generations because of their prayers. So, you pray, Beloved, with your whole heart and I will do the rest as you help me bring back the outcast, the wayward, and the prodigals, home.”

That was the end of Jesus’ message.

Thank you, family, so much for your support and prayers. We have 19 who have donated $1531. We have decided to do this in stages and need about $3,000 more to at least bulldoze and clear the land. So please donate and remember us. We also still need more donations to support the remaining 11 families and persons this month. So, any amount of donations given to us would be greatly appreciated!

God bless you, family, until the next message.
