Heart Song
Heart Song Some time only by love can the heart sing

We would lay down our life for our children and grandchildren in the natural but the more important spiritual life of forever

We can’t first because we must do it first for ourselves that would make us capable to do it for them this is what I want to contend

For in this piece first to speak of the two that are fighting for possession of you first they said he could have called ten thousand

Angels to rescue him from the cross that is a true and nice sentiment but the truth all he had to do was speak and the world and

Everything in it would have dissolved leaving him standing in empty space but it wasn’t as they said the nails that held him but love

He is love so he acts in that regard supremely then the other standing at the cross looking on he felt no pain at all his was only that of

Greed the desire to possess the great loss of the other I know God has no desire to save Satan but even in this sense God can’t stop

his designs for you and I this is what I think is one great part of his motivation only evil could think this way he knows the lake of

Fire is his future reality but his twisted mind and sadly maybe it is so but he desires to enjoy our screams and sounds of agony if

We don’t avail ourselves of this great salvation by this he hopes at least to derive satisfaction and a little pleasure to counter his

Predicament we have this great enemy then we have a resident traitor within who favors sin and evil this story I will relate is another

Road block thrown up to give us aid to prevent this outcome from happening they have said to get to hell we have to go through

The love of God and road blocks that is almost innumerable I wrote before of how you could see the spirit moving in the great

Congregation as people worshiped with hands raised yes this is so denounced in churches but it is the very acts of God his spirit

Unseen but as he would pass down the length of the building they would respond as I said like the grass undulating in a great wind

That in its self is soul stirring to behold but this excerpt from a message is what caused this reaction and worship it was also why

I missed my ride and I was walking the forty miles back to Monterey across the Santa Cruz Mountains at one thirty in the morning

The speaker for the camp meeting was the general superintendent for European operations he recounted the story of a faithful

Pastor and his wife and the trials and cost it took to bring Christ and the cross to the Irion curtain country of East Germany first they

By cover of darkness came and took his whole congregation away they did this twice then they burned
down his church each time he just

Turned around and went back to preaching truly love triumphs and the heart finds ability to sing then the cruelest act of all while

He was out doing his ministerial duties they came and took his wife away for weeks he searched for her finally his search brought him

To a medical facility please put yourself in his position everything gone he was despised persecuted only because he saw the

Terrible future of his people in a lost eternity if they were not reached The word says who shall escape if they neglect such a great salvation as this?finally the word was that his wife was here he approached the

Nurse at the desk not the kind of nurse you know the one with deep compassion on her face a sweet smile and a tender touch to

Comfort you no this one glared at him with hatred yes I will take you to you precious wife he was led to a room he entered his wife

Who loved and sacrificed so much for others was there but she wasn’t there the cross had just been used again its depth of love and

Its glorious light had been given newer brightness to reach into the dark evil world lying in bed it will take her having to pass from this

Life before she will know anyone they gave her a lobotomy making her a vegetable my friends at hearing that the congregation in

Mass also became conscious and knew the deep waters of the spirit weeping and crying out to God carried us away her sacrifice was

Not in vain her story has ushered thousands into God’s family around the world from that darkness light sprang up freeing so many

Hurting dying ones giving them finally the power to look inward and dethrone self and embrace the cross and welcome the one who

Hang their as their savior I hope it will do the same for you.
