The sensitivity of the Spirit

Saturday, November 21st, 2009
When God’s compassion gains room in our hearts, something fantastic begins to happen: The sensitivity of the Spirit starts to color our soul.

This is just so wonderful, because the sensitivity of the Holy Spirit just makes your life so much deeper. The grass gets greener. The flowers more beautiful. Your children even more adorable. And not to forget: The wonderful peace of Jesus.

When you obtain this peace you don’t want to trade for anything. It makes your life just so incredible stress free. Free of fear. Free from worries. The peace makes you able to face things you never could face in the natural.

The sensitivity of the Spirit also lifts your compassion to new levels. News stories suddenly becomes more alive to you and real. Other peoples’ tragic situations begins to impact you on a deeper level. It’s not just news any more. It is people. It will make you cry for a world in pain.

The sensitivity also brings along new levels of joy. You’ll celebrate life. You’ll understand how precious it is.

The sensitivity of the Spirit simply tells you more of how the Father is. You’ll begin to understand what He is about. You’ll begin to understand what Love is about. The Father is Love.

Let love be your ignition and fuel

In the new pact, God made it possible for ordinary people get to know Him. However He made it impossible to know Him without compassion and love.

Knowing our Father is all about heart to heart relationship. The driving force for man to connect to God is no longer through deeds and laws. It’s through compassion and adoration for Him.

My heart beats a little harder when I write this. Because I have fallen in love. I’ve fallen in love with the One who so desperately longs for my companion: My God.

Doors of Heaven

And this is how we grasp God, after we pass the first obstacle of believing in him. Faith opens up the doors of Heaven for us. Then we need to step in by loving on Him. We find Him through this love.

Righteousness are still there. However through blood of Jesus I stand clean. Faith enclose me. It makes the Father’s anger against my sin vanish.

Now I dare to approach the throne. And left is nothing but Him, me and the love between us.

Those that seek the Father through the dead letter without understanding the foundation of love, will never get it. It’s about heart beats first. Then the deeds comes from that passion.

After all it all began with love. For so loved God the world, that He gave His only Son… Love was His ignition for taking action towards the world that had rejected Him.

I love you, my Father!

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
Psalm 103:8
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”
Matthew 1:41
If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
Matthew 12:7

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Colossians 3:12

Revival in Norway: Hope in 1000 to know the voice of God

Friday, November 13th, 2009
During his stay in Norway, Bob Hartley received a sign from the Lord. 1000 will break new ground to connect to the Father’s heart and listen to His Rhema at new levels.

Rhema is a greek word that means “the spoken word” or utterance. It is the voice of God, giving personal revelation.

This is the sign Bob received. Not known to him beforehand Rema 1000 is one of Norway’s major grocery store chains. Bob discovered this during one of his first walks here:

Knowledge of heart matters bring close relationship

The desires of the Father will not be kept secret from the one thousand. New levels of intimacy will be won.

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
John 15:15

From hearing the Rhema comes revelation, intimacy and opportunity to gain direction and leadership from the Father. Intimacy gives strong relationship and faith. Through this I believe there will come a strong boldness to both declare His Rhema and putting it to action.

Heaven becomes their reality over the reality on earth.

New ground will be taken for others to follow. The barriers of hope will be expanded in the body of Christ, opening up new levels of faith and hope for both this and the next generation to enter.

Witness

I can bear witness that God is calling individuals in Norway to be part of Rhema 1000. Of course I don’t know if there are 1000, but the move of God bears witness of truth.

Call to action

Pray for the ones called to take this new ground. Pray that their identity shall be known to them and grow strong in their hearts. Pray for their success in pressing in. Also pray that they may inspire and pass on to others what they learn.
