Unveiled Heart

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NASB)

“If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.” 


God has truly been showing me to love past what I see and even what’s been done to me personally. Just when I think I have reached a certain place in this area of His layer, there is definitely another layer. There are layers and layers to the love of God that I believe truly need to be experienced to even get an inkling of an understanding. Even after this I still believe it wouldn’t scratch the surface, and that is because true love was exemplified and shown to us on the Cross of Jesus Christ.


Are we willing to lay down our lives for another? Especially, if that other is saying “Crucify Him?” What has the world defined love to us as? Love should never be conditional but unconditional. Love isn’t telling you what you want to hear, but what God says you need to hear at that time and moment for your own benefit; even at the risk of never talking again. Love sees the wrong but knows the person God created, their original purpose and intention, and that love speaks to that person…not the one the enemy might be using at that time and moment.


This unveiled love shows you yourself in areas where you didn’t love and chooses to correct it for the sake of your own soul-salvation, but also for the salvation of the many others God has entrusted under your leadership. I see this unveiled love as a heart having many layers. Our heart is a muscle and the tissue of this muscle is tough. This muscle tissue has to be tough enough in order to pump blood throughout our entire bodies. Imagine going through every layer just to discover there’s another one. To me, this shows that loving others is not easy. You go through one tough layer to another.


It seems never-ending because God is never-ending, and since our Father is never-ending so is His love. God is love. God is eternal. God is Spirit. To fully surrender to the action and spirit of love, we have to fully surrender to the Lord. Then, and only then what seems unfair and not right, will only be the move of the Spirit. We see the move of God always as something positive, but sometimes it doesn’t always look like this. The Lord will allow things to test your heart, its posture, and your readiness to go to the next layer of love in Him. Situations and temptations are opportunities given by God to express His love.


***Lord, we thank you for your unveiled love being unveiled to us and through us to your people. Father, continue to work on us and our hearts. Heal us completely so that we could love from your heart and how you love. Lord, reveal any unhealed areas within our hearts and from within our souls that don’t align with you. Help us to straighten up and move according to your steps and from your perception. Help us to see others how you see them. We thank you for the different layers of love you have given us access to. We thank you for your grace and mercy at times where we needed your love and you sent someone. We love you and honor you. In Jesus’ Name, we pray—Amen.***

Mass Unveiling

  “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.” (Joel 2:28-29, KJV) “For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” (Luke 12:2, KJV) There is such a massive unveiling; unveiling of peoples’ hearts, minds, eyes, perspectives, language, and the more. This unveiling is bringing such a sobering and humbling effect to everyone’s viewpoint and perspective of life. Even those who are not saved and don’t believe in Jesus Christ are being “unveiled” in a sense. They are seeing things and the facts of life from God’s perspective without even knowing it’s from Jesus! We were made from and in the image of our Father in heaven. We have the same attributes as Him; more and more people across the globe are com...

Can I Just Love On You?

  Can I just love on you? Can I just tell you how awesome it is to serve you? Can I just say it is so fulfilling to serve your people through you? Lord, you are amazing. Jesus you are so fulfilling. You make me smile. I cry when I don’t know why I am crying. When I think of everything you have done for me Jesus and for the world, I sit in amazement. How could I sit and not worship and give you the constant, consistent praise? You are so deserving. You are so consistent. Jesus, you have taught me to be consistent and disciplined. Do I get it right everytime? Of course not, but man do you stay there with me the entire time. What a gracious Saviour I serve! Can I just love on you for a moment? For eternity? I am starting to see and experience why the angels cry holy, holy, holy every time they see a different face/side of you. What an awesome God you are! I love you and I honor you. I say this all the time because I mean it. What a reverential fear of you I have. I repent and apologiz...

  “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.”- Job 13:15 (KJV) As I was praying, my sisters and brothers in Christ came into my spirit to pray for. Ones who are being beheaded for their faith. Ones who are being shot and killed for professing the name of Jesus Christ. Ones who are in underground churches, because believing in Jesus Christ and outward worship is against the law. Unbeknownst to me, my spirit started to cry out for them. For the blood that was shed. For the tears that were made from them and on their behalf. I then physically started to cry and it just kept flowing. Tears of intercession I did not know existed were flowing like a stream. Things I didn’t know what to pray for were being prayed for at that moment.  The word “yet” kept being repeated over and over again out loud that started in my spirit. “Though You slay me, yet I will trust in You” (Jb-13:15) . This is what they have in their bellies. They have a “ye...
