Heart of Jesus'
Generational Blessing
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. (1 John 4:9-11 NASB)
Ministering out of a heart of love, which is the heart of Jesus, can overwhelm you sometimes. Sharing His love of compassion and truth to those He brings to you is like no other feeling in the world. At times the tears flow as your loving hands reach out to them, bringing His healing to their hurting souls. Jesus’ touch of love can heal those painful wounds.
Ministering with the MorningStar Ministries’ Generational Blessings team during the New Year conference was the first
opportunity I was given to do so. When John Boneck, the 50+ Pastor asked me the
day before if I could participate, I was hesitant. He said he needed more fathers
to impart the Lord’s blessings to those who would come to receive.
The first thing my mind did was to race through the
memory banks to be mindful of any scheduling conflicts. I had the day off from
work, but wanted to receive prophetic minister that same afternoon. Then I wondered
how I would actually do, being I had not gone this way before. Prophetic
ministry over the years had been good, and known, as I ministered with that supernatural
gift. This was new and different, as least for me. Thus the hesitancy on my
part.
But I said yes.
The next day John teamed me with his wife Sandy, a
true veteran of generational blessing ministry I could tell. The purposeful and planed concept is to have one man, one woman minister together. That surely gave me
confidence to step forward with active faith.
The first ones who sat in front of us received
encouragement, as Sandy and myself shared what the Holy Spirit gave us. Blessed
with the love of the Father Himself, their smiles and thanks were appreciated,
and for me gave encouragement to hear even more for the ones who He would bring
during those two hours of ministry.
People were seeking the Lord. We were seeking the
Lord. All of us found Him in the presence His Holy Spirit brought during that
thankful time.
A young couple, Kristen and Carlos (not their real
names) came and quietly sat down in the two chairs in front of Sandy and me.
She had a big grin on her redden lips that shone brightly in front of her long, blonde
hair. He was somber, his dark eyes not sure as to what he was about to experience.
I could feel the weight of the world on his shoulders.
“Holy Spirit, what do you want to touch them with
today?” was my silent prayer, and compassionate cry for something that would
change their lives, from this point on.
Sandy softly and gently spoke His blessing of
provision and treasure over them. I could see the two soaking it up. Being a “mixed”
couple, Caucasian and Hispanic, I just felt times had not been easy for them.
Truly in the natural. Surely in the spiritual too.
When Sandy finished speaking, I asked them if I could take their hands. After the OK, I took them,
joined them with mine, and began to speak the heart of love as I heard in my spirit from the Lord, as it
came for them from heaven. Blessing is what He does.
I can’t recall exactly what I said, for after two
hours of ministering to others you are drained, and memory fades. (At least in
my 61 year old mind!) I do recall what Jesus Himself said, “Who touched the hem
of My garment? I felt power go forth from Me.” Being this is real, you know
what He is talking about.
Whatever I said, the tears came. First down her
eyes. Then small drops down mine. Marco's eyes started to well up, as the Lord’s Holy Spirit was ministering love and healing
to hurting hearts. It was wonderful. So precious You are Lord.
The next day I sent John and Sandy an email, asking them
to allow me to serve again the next time the Generational Blessing team ministers. This one way of giving from His heart through us is such a blessing.
More Lord. We want more of You for them.
I pray the Lord gives you the opportunity to receive
His love in this manner. The Father’s heart of love will heal a broken heart, a
broken marriage, and all other burdens carried in this life. There is healing
for all.
Let Him touch you too.
With the
love of Jesus, you can now think on this,
