As I was praying, I really tried to focus on the Lord and His Will. As I prayed, my body became hot, my tongue changed, and my prayer felt so natural, and the word 'heart' kept coming to my mind.
Our body has a heart, a blood system with the heart in the middle, and a respiratory system that breathes through the lungs. If our body does not receive even a little bit of oxygen that is received from breathing and distributed through blood, our body starts to tremble right away and suffer many malfunctions. This can easily lead to heart attack or even death.
The amazing thing is that our body constantly breathes and pumps its heart unconsciously without us trying or thinking about it. The Lord connected this to prayer right away.
Although we feel that praying is physically difficult and burdensome, the Lord tells us that praying must be natural just like breathing and just like how our hearts beat. We may struggle for two to three hours of prayer, trying not to doze off by drinking coffee, physically running around in the back. But the most powerful and the easiest way to pray is to have the HEART OF THE LORD. And this is the only thing you need to have ALL the energy, not just for prayer, but for ALL the work of His ministry and our entire spiritual lives! By having the HEART OF THE LORD, all the energy needed for the whole body is supplied so naturally, pumping our spiritual life.
“If you want to do My work, you need the biggest heart. And that heart is My Heart.”
Our flesh and our heart is too weak to handle the mission of prayer and all the work of ministry. But as soon as the HEART OF THE LORD is transplanted into us, the blood of the Lord, the passion of the Lord, and the energy of the Lord start to cover our entire body. Once we have the blood system of the Lord, all the other functions that are powered by the heart: breathing through prayer, distributing the oxygen received from breathing to the entire body through the blood, and moving our entire body for the ministry... all these movements become so automatic and natural!
On the contrary, if we don't have the Heart of the Lord, all the things that must happen automatically and naturally will feel like they are manual tasks to be done. Even breathing/praying feels as if I have to manually squeeze and expand my lungs and diaphragm with my own hands each time. Without the Heart of the Lord, all the work in the ministry becomes difficult, boring, and laborious.
Scientists and doctors have attempted to transplant pig hearts or monkey hearts into people, but the people who received those hearts all have died shortly after. Similarly, in doing the work of the Lord and living a life for the Lord, we always try to find the 'other' source of energy and do everything our way. But if we do not have the HEART OF THE LORD, we start to feel tired easily, many malfunctions appear, and our spirits eventually die.
“Without My Heart, you cannot pray! Without My Heart, you cannot deliver My Word! Those who give their hearts to Me, I will exchange them with My beating Heart! You must have My Heart, the Heart of the Spirit, not a heart of the flesh. Those who feel burdened and tired of having My Heart, I will give them back the fleshly heart that only beats for eating and drinking. Those who want to have a heart that beats forever must have My Heart.”
