The Holy Spirit is Grieved
My Holy Spirit is grieved because He cannot burden or interest western believers in the pain that He sees in the lives of the lost.
He is searching for intercessors, but they are so caught up with their earthly kingdoms that the physical and emotional pain of others just irritates them. They avoid the hurting, the poor and the dying like the plague. They only want people to make them feel good. The love being around the jet set. Because of this mentality there are very few laborers in the west.
They don’t want to hear about any pain, because they have no idea what to do with it. This is due to being out of touch with the kingdom. They just turn their back as the earthly kingdom tries to bury it’s pain in man”y ways, in drugs, alcohol, music, parties, sex, isolation, and suicide. They all have one common attitude: I just don’t want to get involved”.
But kingdom people have My Fathers heart and deal successfully with human pain every day. Because they are walking in the Spirit they know exactly when to hug and when to cry, when to listen and when to just hold someone’s hand, and they are excellent at listening without interrupting.
They know when to bind demons and when to cast them out. They know how to have all things common, calling nothing their own, Acts 4:32. They know when to pay someone’s bill, or give them a ride. They know when and how to lay down their life to ease the pain in someone’s life.
They know all this not by the wisdom of men, but because they seek My kingdom first and in the process they loose their earthly life only to find their kingdom life, Matthew 10:39.
They all have one thing in common, they are on the look out for the hurting, because it’s an opportunity, to see unconditional love in action. It’s the answer to My prayer, My Father’s kingdom coming to earth. I have a prayer request, Matthew 9:37-38. The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [38] so please pray to My Father as Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest,” Matthew 9:37-38.
