WARMING YOUR LONGINGS FOR FELLOWSHIP

[Drawing Nurturing Parents and Children into Relationship]

============

HEARD 4/17/04: Body language. He’s My son. I want him set free. Relationship. Very sad. Bleeding hearts. Family. Hurt. I am with you.

IMPRESSION: As I heard the above I had been praying over the pain in the body of Christ in unthawing from the coldness of isolation and loneliness. We have fallen and become disjointed due to broken and disappointing relationships. He is wanting to replant isolated leaders with the hungry children and birth satisfying life long relationships that will carry His anointing for a greater impact.

============

HEARD: The top guys permit me to come. From the top down. Ascending river. It's not like that.

Pastor assignment. To help them. They need me. Missed the point. The point is to establish relationship. Communication.

Toddler ministry. Listen up, I'm training you. It’s a window to reveal. Not very funny. You’re hurting. Behind the scenes. Not able to stretch. Broken relationships.

Let others come into your life. New relationships blossom. Classes. Express yourself. Jigsaw. Hold hands. Circle of faith. Relationship. Be transparent.

WORD TO PONDER: RECOVERING FAMILY TIME

My people have fallen into the pain of isolation and barricaded hearts due to disjointed and broken relationships. How I have grieved over them, that they might know the intimate comfort of belonging to My loving family!

The children look to their parents and wonder if the scepter of favor will be extended, so they may approach their parent’s esteemed world. The parents minister through the constraints of need. All reach out through wounded arms and hands, having been burnt from their past disappointments.

Listen up, dear family! When I begin to draw you into the loving warmth of genuine relationship, do not run away. Do not fear. Do not go deeper into your safe and cold hearts, lest you die from freezing temperatures. I AM warming the hearts of My kindred heart family. I AM drawing them into a new place. It is there that the table of My Presence will be round, where all may sit equal distance and face to face. I shall link your hearts in common support and mutual pursuit of My Word. I shall bring you together into this new place where you shall discover that your lives are intimately joined at the hip like the puzzling together of My Word. From the youngest to the oldest, all shall know the purity of My love and the beauty of the unity of the brethren.

Ps 133 NLT

How wonderful it is, how pleasant, when brothers live together in harmony! For harmony is as precious as the fragrant anointing oil that was poured over Aaron's head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And the LORD has pronounced his blessing, even life forevermore.

============

HEARD: A winning team in transition. Ministry team. Relationship. Restore. Circle of friends. Encompass. A real relationship.

Power. Dynamic. Wondrous. Make it manifest. Ministry. Trust Me. I assure you.

WORD TO PONDER: REASSEMBLED

Broken and disassembled, My body is scattered in parts and pieces all over the world. Even when in a crowd, they are suffering the coldness of isolation. Broken, alone, and separated, the comfort of fellowship has become a rarity. How it grieves My heart to see My loved ones in such disarray!

Although the enemy has desired to plunder My people through isolation, I have used the wilderness seasons to raise My eagles to search for food and train them to climb higher. Birds fly in flocks and eagles fly alone. This is the way for training leaders.

I have raised a generation of leaders, who will nurture the great harvest of newborns. And how they will love their children! The chatter, the activity, the questions, the hungry hearts will be like a balm to My isolated ones who have suffered years of detachment. The shame of those years will melt away within the deep pools of My children’s hugs. Lost confidence and joy shall return as I reassemble My body back together again. United in kindred hearts of loving appreciation, I shall remove the stumbling blocks and bring My own into one big family.

Heb 10:24-25 NKJV

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
