A Heartbeat For You

Can you hear it?

Listen…the sound, small, but its there. Ta Tump, ta tump. Do you hear it now? Ta tump, ta tump, ta tump…

When you hear it, it becomes louder more definite. You begin to wonder why you couldn’t hear it all along. Ta tump, ta tump

The sound fills the air around you. It resonates in your insides. Your own heart, beating right in perfect synchronization with it. Your spirit becomes full like it could explode with love that comes with the sound. You hear it now don’t you? The heartbeat of God. Beating for the lost, beating for the hurting, beating with compassion, and now beating inside your own chest. Beating to see salvation, beating to see miracles, beating to fulfill your God given dreams, and passionately beating for God as God’s heart beats for you…

Ephesians 3:17-19 …so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Proverbs 8:17 “I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me”.

1 John 4:16-19 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears in not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.

God’s heart is beating for his people. He designed us to hear that heart beat and long for it. We are in a time right now where the heart beat of God is resonating throughout the nations. He has heard the desperate cries of His people and He is responding in outpourings of His Glory all over the World. We must honor those brothers and sisters in Christ who have paved the way through intercession, faith, and soaking in the presence of God.

As we press into God, who is our friend, our Dad, and our salvation. We begin to hear the beat. We begin to see people how God sees them, we begin to feel his love and compassion for those around us. The closer we draw into God, the closer he draws into us. Then, we don’t just hear the beat of God’s heart, we feel it too. It becomes part of us. Our spirit stirs within us and nothing can satisfy our desire for more of God.

The Heartbeat of Salvation…
This is the main beat of God’s heart. He loves each one of us with a love that is deeper than anything we could imagine. In doing so he desires for us all to be saved and receive our full reward and inheritance. The start of our intimate relationship with God is salvation. That is only the beginning. God is so awesome and wonderful that salvation is not all he has for us. Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”

The Heartbeat of Healing…
Unlike some beliefs God does not punish us with sickness or disease. He doesn’t pass out wrath as punishment. God wants the best for us. He also, wants us to be a testimony for His glory. Healing is for all, not just one or two select people. Again, healing is for us all. God will use healing even as a testimony to someone and in turn they will receive salvation. 3 John 2, Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. Psalm 103:3 “Who forgives all our sins; and who heals all our diseases.” We are coming into a time where people are becoming more aware of the healing power of God. It is time for us to take a stand and do as Jesus did. Laying hands on the sick with authority and believing for healing. God’s heart is beating for healing. Beating to see us stand in faith for healing. We can stand in authority and speak his promises back to him. Remind him of his promises of healing. When we speak out in faith it moves God’s heart.

The Heartbeat of deliverance…
John 8:32 & 36 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Free! God is our deliverer. Freedom! God’s heart beats for freedom. The day of deliverance is at hand. I recently saw a program for people to attend called “Celebrate Recovery”. I thought how neat that was that they were offering something to people to help them. Then, when I really thought about it I became awakened by the truth that we should be celebrating deliverance. I don’t believe God would want us to stay in a state of recovery. Instead we should be moving forward in a state of freedom and complete deliverance. God’s Word states free indeed. What a testimony it would be to attend a meeting and say that we have been delivered for six months instead of sober. I hear the beat of God’s heart for freedom. His beat is more than we could imagine. We need to learn not to put God in the box of the World and understand that He always does it bigger and better.

The Heartbeat of Prosperity…
Deuteronomy 8:18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. This verse amazes me every time I read it. God gives us the ability to produce wealth. God’s heart is beating for prosperity. We are not meant to be poor, in debt, and stressed out. That doesn’t produce much of a testimony to others. His heart is beating for us to take the authority that He has given us. To step out in faith. If we want to be debt free then we need to take the steps to become debt free praying in faith. If we want to have a better job, then we need to pursue a better job. When you sow seed God will rebuke the devourer for your sake and the floodgates of heaven will open for you. Pull down your prosperity from the throne and step into advancing the Kingdom of God as he intends for us to do. God wants you to hear and feel the heartbeat of prosperity.

The Heartbeat of Creativity…
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Colossians 1:16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, , whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. God desires for His people to be creative. His heart beats strongly for creativity. He encourages us to ask Him for knowledge. God gives us desires and ideas. He will help inspire us on to be successful. Is there a talent or gift you have? Are you using it? God’s heart is beating for you to use the gifts, talents, and desires he’s given you to advance the Kingdom. To step out in faith and multiply your talents. God wants us to go after everything he has for us. Sometimes when we find that nothing happens with a talent or gift we have a tendency to think that maybe God doesn’t want us to do anything with it. Really, we should do our part to go after it. You will find that when you step out and try something God will bless you. His heart beats to bless you.

The Heartbeat of Our Destiny…
Jeremiah 1:5 Before, I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. God has a destiny and plan for each of us. Part of his plan is that we live a full and happy life. A life that encourages others to pursue a relationship with God. That is part of our destiny. When we seek after God and pursue our inheritance one of our main desires becomes soul winning. God created us and knows best how to fill us up. He knows best how to get our attention and wants our hearts beating together with His co-laboring together. Pursuing God brings us closer to the destiny and plan he has for us. We become excited and passionate. Longing for more of God. Nothing satisfies the hunger for more of God. We feel his heart beat. Beating for us and with us. That excitement in our spirits is the heartbeat of God encouraging us to become everything we are meant for… and more because God always does it bigger and better.

Feel his heart beating for you. Hear the sound of love he has for us. Draw close to God and let your heart beat with His. God will bring you into more than you ever imagined.
