Have you ever felt moved by something you have seen or heard? Something that has powerfully moved your heart like the trees in the wind. Where you feel your heart throbbing because of it? Did you notice that it goes even further than that where it grows and intensifies? Then it gives birth to a potent message within that must come out.

Many times this happens to me because of something I see or hear. Something that moves me out of the shadows of the norm and into the bright sunlight of bravery and courage to arise and say the message. There is an other-worldly fearlessness that enters in.

The message is always alive bursting out of my heart where the King sits enthroned. It is His message and it is from His own heart to mine. It is what He sees and hears. The word is a given word and it is spoken in a quickening, fearless way with a sharpness "like the clear heat upon the herbs."

As soon as the word is spoken there are many that do not like it. They hate the spiritually bright sunlight power of the message and quickly scorn it. They are like Michal King David's wife.

"When the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart." 2 Samuel 6:16.

People will despise you in their hearts when you are full of the power of the Holy Spirit and give messages from Jesus Christ. King David's sword-like reply to Michal was that he would go on doing it even more because God called Him to be the leader of Israel. She wound up being barren unto the day of her death.

There is a difference between stirred up hearts for the Lord and those that are despisers in heart. One goes on living in the power of the endless life, while the other lives on in deathly barrenness.

"I implore you, be afraid of nothing so much as of this false fear - this foolish, worldly wisdom that hesitates between God and self, between vice and virtue, between gratitude and ingratitude, between life and death."

- Fenelon
