HIS BURNING ONES

I want to welcome you to my blog. Many years ago the Lord impressed upon me to begin to write and journal about the times we would spend together. Over three years ago the Lord told me to begin to publish the things that He both showed me and spoke to me during those intimate times with Him. The more I sought to hear from Him, the more He showed up. Those moments have both encouraged, healed, and ignited my heart. I hope you enjoy every article shared here as I continue to journey closer to His heart and share the words that He whispers. I pray that you are encouraged and ignited as well. May you draw nearer to Him as He draws nearer to you. I also want to invite you to send any prayer requests you may have. My husband and I both love to pray for others and see God bring their needs and desires to pass. May you be blessed and thank you for visiting.
​

13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13 NLT)

Here I Am Lord!

"Compassion is not real compassion Daughter, if you are not moved to action" the Lord whispered to me. His words gripped my heart. "Lord I have felt pain in my heart and I have cried so much it hurts, but this is not enough? Teach me Lord about your compassion" I asked Him.

So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight and they followed Him (Matthew 20:34 NKJV).

And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her, Do not weep. And He went forward and touched the funeral bier, and the pallbearers stood still. And He said, Young man, I say to you, arise [from death]! And the man [who was] dead sat up and began to speak. And [Jesus] gave him to his mother. (Luke 7:13-15 AMP)

It was His compassion for the hurting, sick, and broken that moved Him to act on their behalf. We can say that we care. We can cry about all the injustices that we see in our world, but until it moves us, I don't think it is the compassion He desires us to have. The compassion He wants us to have will cause us to follow through with action. Jesus's compassion moved Him to wait by a well to fill an outcast woman with His living water. It caused Him to stoop down in the dirt and help someone who was unworthy in her own eyes. His compassion compelled Him to give His life for all mankind in an unthinkable way.

His compassion flowing from your heart will cause you to give when it hurts and to go when you would rather stay. It will move you, it will force you to stand up for what you believe. You cannot see something so wrong and then do nothing, this is not having compassion. Most of the time what causes you to feel compassion will also cause you anguish. This is because God wants you to see this problem, to feel how He feels about it, and to move you to do something. Ask God for His compassion, ask God to show you what problems He created you to solve. Ask the Lord what He anointed you to do! What purpose will your life serve? Will you allow God to break your heart and pour His compassion in and through you? The real compassion that could change the world. He is waiting for the world to see Him and He wants to use you to accomplish that. When will we realize that all the answers to the worlds problems live inside of each one of us?

It is Christ in us, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27)

We must go! We can no longer stand by waiting for someone else to do it. I am someone. You are someone. So what are you waiting for?

Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. (Isa. 6:8)

Thank you Elizabeth for this timely word. I heard a similar word from the Lord. It is our love and compassion that release our faith. Faith releases God's power. When Jesus moved in compassion, miraculous things happened; heaven invaded earth. Yes, we all should be praying that the compassion of Jesus would envelop us and flow through us.
