Ezekiel 36:26
26 I will give you a new heart …
The day after our 23rd wedding anniversary in 2019, our family visited Heart of the Father Ministry https://www.hotfmlakeland.com/ for the first time. As the worship team started playing, the youngest elder encouraged people to press into the Father’s heart. He invited those who wanted to enter the “splash zone” (altar area) to come forward. Our eldest daughter, the prophetic pioneer that she is turned and said, “I wanna go.” Without hesitation I responded, “let’s GO! You lead, I’ll follow.” In fact, the entire family followed.
Worshipping Jesus, among our brothers & sisters – who were complete strangers at the time, I had a powerful encounter with the Lord. I saw the Lord holding two hearts in His hands…
They were mine.
One was like Jell-o. The other looked like a piece of meat that had been over cooked in a pressure pot again-and again- and again. It was done. D-O-N-E, DONE! He simply asked, “which do you want?” Tears streaming down my face, I blurted out the quietest whisper I could muster,
“JELL-O!”
Immediately, His hand crushed the done heart- turning it into a pile of ashes beneath the jiggly jell-o heart.
This was His promise to me four years ago:
Ezekiel 36:26
26 … I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
His plans and purposes for my heart began unfolding as we left our fathers land in 2021, obeying Our Father’s call to go to a new land and live among a people who would love me back into the heart of the Father.
