I keep hearing in my spirit this week, “the great heart expansion”. Today after I was thinking upon it again, I saw in the spirit a graphic I made several months ago – I found it and realized I never posted or had written about it. I had altogether forgotten what I had written on the graphic, and to my surprise saw ‘heart expansion’, along with ‘love’, ‘nourish’, ‘steward’ and it happened to be seven months ago that it was created.

As we know, the number seven represents a completion and perfection. I believe this is symbolic as the last season has been coming to a completion, leading up until now has been a great preparation for those who have yielded for the outpouring of the new wine. There has been sifting, cleansing, pruning and dying to prepare the new wine skin. While death to self, and pruning never cease – this has been different and strategic as we are exiting once and for all the old ways and models. As we have been allowing the Lord to perfect that which concerns us, yes even in pruning and in death, we are now entering a great heart expansion phase. It has already been happening for many, though it will continue to increase.

The heart expansion is simply for Love. There is a specific trust that the these lovers have granted to the Lord, and it for His increase. He is enlarging their hearts to behold not only more of Himself, though to make room necessary to carry His love for the harvest. He is supernaturally giving love for others, for in only this regard can we truly steward the harvest.

It is very simple, though in simplicity we see the cross. You enter through simplicity and find complexity’s riches (mysteries) within. God is Love and Love is the way, and in order to find the Way we must see the cross, for there is no way without the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. God so loved that He gave Jesus for us- and we too must give though we can not give what we do not have. Therefore, He is expanding our hearts to receive more of Himself, that we may GIVE more of Himself. Prepare Him room. The room is for Him, but it will contain the ingredients needed to pour out!

Sustaining an outpouring will be through Love’s seal. God’s love and He Himself can not be measured, can He run dry? Of course not! But when the Spirit seals the move, it will be sustained by oil. Oil will come from personal intimacy with the Lord, and corporately just the same the oil will flow from Jesus our High Priest to “the priests” beard like Aaron where Love’s flowing oil will unify the Body. This is the fragrance of our Bridegroom King!

While your heart is expanding you may be experiencing new grief or sorrow, and deep longing. There are a few things that are happening in this process: as the true Fear of the Lord is returning to the Church, some are for-running in intercession of the prodigal. And there are actually many prodigal’s within the Church! This is why the Fear of the Lord is also needed in this hour! In the heart expansion the Lord is sharing secret places of His heart that include His pain and anguish, His anger and judgment. We need to know this because people need to know what’s it like to not have the Lord, in the Church especially we can take this for granted. We have been under His hand of mercy, though for generations many have never experienced His wrath. The Lord rules with justice and mercy, and when we see Him rightly we will want to lead others unto Jesus who can save them from wrath! Separation from His Presence is dreadful, it is death! Another part of the move is conviction and repentance which is also why many are sensing grief right now… it’s grief and love. Grief and longing. There will more than likely be a conviction revival before sustained glory – glory will be part of the conviction but the conviction I see is under the Fear of the Lord! It’s heavy, many will experience death without dying with an understanding of the Lord’s presence like I was trying to describe – but far be it from me to tell the Lord what He is going to do! There will be heavy conviction for simply disobedience in loving God and loving others. We must long for more of Him, in the longing He fulfills us with Love. In the Love we rest and are sustained. In the personal sustainance we are then able to steward His saints “flock” and the harvest in Love. And we can only steward what we are willing to nurture. Nurturing will be a vital element to the health of the ’newly born again’ just as it is vital to a newborn in the natural.

Jesus died for people, He will return for a people! We haven’t missed it, He is so gracious to let us know by experience what it would feel like if we did… He does not want us to miss it, and this is preparation. This is why I am writing this to you! There is so much more, though I feel this is a good place to ponder for now. May we yield to the great heart expansion and prepare Him room, what a joyful celebrations await when we do!

Joy to the World, Isaac Watts 1719 🎶

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.

2 Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

3 No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.

4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness
and wonders of His love,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders, wonders of His love.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
