Devotion of the Heart!
Devotion of the Heart
In my previous article about living life beyond the borders I wrote about something that has persistently stayed alive

within me and which I feel carries some significance for the days ahead.
I believe it is a redemptive word for the Body of Christ at this time. I am convinced that our Father desires to help us to understand what it means to live ‘experientially’ beyond the borders which have been imposed upon our lives from different sources. These borders are the unnecessary limitations that have marred our lives causing pain, fear, heartache and discouragement.
There is an immense purposefulness within the heart of God to bring us all into a place of intimacy with Himself and in this process releasing us from these restricting borders, whatever they may be. This Fatherly passion is summed up in a translation of James 4:5
“the Spirit which He made to dwell in us jealously yearns for the entire devotion of the heart.”
The Gospel is always good news, even when we do not perceive it to be. Christ’s desire for you and me is to bring us in to an experiential freedom of the heart. And for that to grow within us let the cry of our heart be, “Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.” READ ON
Good post, John. It’s easy to lean on the intellect and end up eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil rather than from the Tree of life. The result is always a distorted and diminished view of God and a heart starved for lack of intimacy with him.
Thanks for your insights and words of wisdom througout this website.
Hi John,
I love what you have written here, thanks for sharing the thoughts, it’s so easy to think that head knowledge is the fulness, but only experiential knowledge brings true freedom, revelation and peace.
Experiencing the love of Father is the road to entering into His rest.
