"THOUGHTS FROM AN INTROSPECTIVE HEART"

By Mary Lindow

With the M-A-N-Y options, opinions, observations, doctrines and perspectives that every human chooses to ingest and own, I am fully aware that what I share in the following paragraphs will most likely make some angry while others may laugh, and some might feel the need to pontificate. 

Hopefully... 

...A few see it for what it is. 

Raw honesty from a somewhat "weary soul" who is yet, "a work in progress" until the fullness of truth is made complete in her. 

"The Noise" of many voices, choices and projections, has totally driven me to a place higher than me. That, "Private Dwelling Place Of Christ Alone" in thought, mood, plans, and purpose. 

Friends... The love,mercy and spirit of truth of God is being "called up" inside of each us and is required to be available and active. 

In these days of upheavals, "heavy-duty crass communication and filthy speech", natural and un-natural disasters, I'm completely focusing on simpler ministry and "clear eyes" looking at the Lord and His example because... 

...He is THE focus. 

The things of earth grow dim in the light of His glory and grace, His wisdom, His example. I'm not going down a fearful or "heavy warnings" path. Of course I can see from right to left and observe, but the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn. Growing brighter and brighter until the final day, which can be individual or collective. (My End Day might be today or 20 years from now!) 

So much division and clutching to "personal revelation" among those who acclaim to have Christ as a central focus has become exhausting, at times embarrassing, and at worst so cloyingly arrogant that the fragrance and kindness of humility is gone. 

All this excessive exaggerated exaltation of gifts and high titles and "heavy revelations" ring false, and are wrapped up in EXTREME bondage and control or a need to 

“BE NOTICED AND FEARED - OR  VALIDATED ". 

Peace in Christ, regardless of the times, is found on a simple but oftentimes, "narrow" path. 

Saint John of the Cross understood it so clearly when he stated: 

“God has to work in the soul in secret and in darkness, 
because if we fully knew what was happening 
and what mystery transformation that God and Grace will eventually ask of us, 
we would either try to take charge or stop the whole process.”

Remember Jesus's simple yet clear words to His very own...

John 16:33

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. 
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! 

I have overcome the world.”

Take heart believer. 

Respond to everything, from the prompts of the Holy Spirit, 
not out of pettiness, vindictiveness or denial. 

Some prompts will be to not move into something new quite yet, 

Some will be to stay aware and alert but not alarmed,

And at times, 

The Holy Spirit tells us to step back while He tests and convicts the heart of mankind. 

It’s in these prompts that we yield to a greater ONE who’s ways are higher than ours.

Costly? Yes.

Misunderstood? Often.

Convenient? Rarely.

But to obey.... 

....is the more excellent way. 

Here’s a clear guarantee out of the mouth of Jesus, to help us on our journey.

The Holy Spirit shows what is true and will come and guide you into the full truth. 

The Holy Spirit doesn't speak on his own. 

He will tell you only what he has heard from me, and he will let you know what is going to happen. 

The Holy Spirit will bring glory to me by taking my message and telling it to you. 

Everything the Father has is mine. 

This is why I have said that the Holy Spirit takes my message and tells it to you.

John 16:13-15

“A Child’s Voice and The Presence of God”

Mary Lindow

When our first son Joel was born, my first thought when I heard him begin to cry was that he sounded like a baby lamb “bleating” for his mother. That sound caused my heart to soar into a moment of overwhelming elation. I was a Mother!! And, “life” had cried out from the new being, birthed from my own body. 

When our second son Timothy was born, I was even more aware than my first birth of the supernatural event taking place. I was being entrusted by God to raise up children to be “Voices of His Promise" on the earth. 

After 33 years of Parenting and watching our two sons develop into strong leaders, husband and having children I would like to share with you the gift of that “sound” or the "legacy" of a generational sound being passed down through three generations. The next part of this message will be, just that. 

A few years ago I was preparing a podcast and our Grandson James-David who was seven years old at the time ( he is 11years old now and still has that perceptive heart, is a drummer and plays piano and sings) was listening to me edit the audio. His Daddy, (Joel) is a gifted musician and vocalist as well and has sung and played for this little boy since he was born. When I had finished recording the message that I was preparing I then asked little James if he would like to hear some music I had been working on for a potential new recording project I was starting to put together. I played the musical piece for him off of my computer where I had been working on it. When it finished, he said to me, “Grandma! That music sounds like God music. It made me feel so happy in my heart!” 

Of course, it made me just burst inside of my own heart with great tenderness toward this perceptive child! Then, he told me that he would like to make a podcast too, just like I did! I asked him what would he want to say and to whom if he “did a podcast". 

His words were, “Grandma. I want to speak to the people who are sad and feel alone and tell them God is there and He loves them.” And so… I let him tell me what he wanted to say, …And I recorded him speaking it, as the music that I wrote, played along with his message. Little did I know, that God had timed the music and that little child’s heartfelt prayer to match in not only timing, but in melody and beauty. The music ended just as he did, and he sang out all on his own at the end, without any of my prompting. He had heard the music only twice.

I will not tell you much more… 

…But rather let you hear for yourself, the “Heart cry” of a child, and the spontaneous expression of praise that came out of this moment. I have played it for a few other friends, and the presence of God fell upon them, and there was weeping and a stunned amazement at not only the impact of the message, but also the reality of;

“ A little child shall lead them” type of truth hitting them right between the eyes! (And… into the very middle of their hearts.)

May the “Voice” of God speak to you and move you to worship as He ministers to you through this pure and simple child’s message and prayer. It is God’s gift to the weary, the lonely, and those who hunger for more of a simpler and holy life hidden in the Palm of His hand, saturated in His word. share it with you young children or those who are longing for a sweet and non-commercial moment of holy and pure worship.

“Their children will be mighty in the land. 

The generation of the upright will be blessed.” 

Psalm 112:2

Perhaps you might know of someone who needs to hear the “Voice of God” speaking to them in innocence and pure Grace.” Pass this on to them as a gift, from Heaven.
