In Search of My Heart

In the early days as I was trying to find my heart, as I look back now, it was a puzzle. When the real Gospel and the person of Jesus appeared in 2005, I was given a picture from which to assemble the puzzle. Or, a map through the maze. As Trinity now reveals more of the picture to me, as the pieces of The Larger Story appear as an ever increasing mural, now I can see what I could not see before. And the horizontal line represents the division between “above the line” (the place where I find God’s love and truth and peace and nourishment) and below the line (this broken world in which we must operate). Above the line reveals the picture so the puzzle pieces can fall into place. I once was blind, but now I see. I once was lost in a maze, but now I am finding my way. Not my compass, but His.

    Swimming in the River Prostrate

    These days it seems I am an explorer in an exciting diverse landscape: The Kingdom of God. New features of power and mystery and healing are yet to be fully discovered, even as I encounter them anew as if I never knew them before: They are The Blood of Jesus, the Breath of God, Fire and Glory and… this my immersive experience in the River of Life. This experience prostrate on the floor praying with Sydney is one I will never forget… I have recorded it in my gratitude list so that I can return to it with clarity. A lift, a joy bomb, a window into love and beauty and all is right in the world, or certainly will be soon enough.. thats what I recieved. Without a doubt a supernatural encounter that I am learning to trust and not dismiss. And in this broken toxic world, do we not need more of that? and skill in finding it?

    Psanghs Sampler #018 - The Man He Sees in Me by Luke Combs

    There is so much power in story, especially The Larger Story: the story God is telling. In that realm, the Father Son relationship is central. And here comes Luke telling in this song about raising his son. The parent album is entitled “Fathers and Sons” and although Jesus is not centrally mentioned, nor would these country ballads be considered “worship songs” the tender stories of a boy becoming a man and then raising a son… they are too rich to pass by. I heard a father aspiring to become a man of character to raise his son in the same way. The album is so full of heart.. and for a Man In Search of his Heart (thats me) they made me misty… because God is in these stories. The Larger Story and the Father Son relationship is central to the Wild at Heart Mens retreat coming up this 3-6 April in Old Town Florida.

    Psanghs Sampler #017 - Honestly We Just Need Jesus by Terrian

    I have found lately when God is Speaking to me, He sends the same message constantly from several directions… so my pea brain will get it. This is one example. I have been learning, training, seeking to nourish my heart with healthy spiritual things, and so much of the media, discord and noise in the world today gets in the way of hearing Jesus speak. Multiple sources, like not only this song, but the latest book by John Eldredge Experiencing Jesus. Really. The concurrent message of silencing the noise and our fatal attraction to over stimulation with media, and how to step back in quiet time, and quieting the heart, is so essential. Have we not all become “Disciples of the Internet” ?? in that we turn to our phones et.al. for answers instead of listening and waiting…. on God. And in that shift, we have come to the place where we cannot hear him. Check out that book, and all the podcasts on Wildatheart.org that open all that content. And dont pass up the opportunity to hear from God at the Wild at Heart mens retreat, 3-6 April in Old Town FL. Information and Registration at RTGMinistries.org. God shows up reliably and powerfully; you can count on that. +++++++ Return to Glory Ministries hosts Wild at Heart men's retreats, and you can find more information at our website: http://rtgministries.org/

    Psanghs Sampler #016 - We Need People

    This song moved me deeply because it describes my journey toward eliminating the false self. Self protection and self promotion to be exact. I still suffer from self reliance, and I am working on trusting God more to handle the issues I am fearful about. But all of my journey to becoming whole and holy with Jesus as my guide - knowing I am not alone for He is with me - it is so difficult, almost impossible to do it alone. We need good people around us. When I find a good moving song like this, I play it over and over until it sinks in. This one is excellent bath water. +++++++ Return to Glory Ministries hosts Wild at Heart men's retreats, and you can find more information at our website: http://rtgministries.org/

    Psanghs Sampler #015 - Brand New Man

    Heres another in the “Country Christian” category, and in some cases we might not see the heavenly message in classic country songs: this is one example. For me, anyway. I heard a man singing of how he had been made “a brand new man” by love. Was it the love of a woman he was speaking about, or possibly the higher, richer, truer love of Jesus? Radical conversion would look like seeing the light, turning one’s life around, being born to love again and becoming a brand new man. Is it possible that these human to human love songs really foreshadow a higher love? Check it out. +++++++ Return to Glory Ministries hosts Wild at Heart men's retreats, and you can find more information at our website: http://rtgministries.org/

    Psanghs Sampler #014 - It's Alright by Third Day

    This Psangh speaks of our longing for the return of Jesus. How we must wait and trust that in Gods’ timing one day all will be restored. I can’t get through the day, much less a week without reminding myself that one day the kingdom will be restored, every tear will be washed away and pain of life in our broken world will cease. Hope and assurance. And since my head is a dangerous place if I am in there alone… that assurance is one way of getting Jesus in my head (and in my heart soul and spirit as well) I have heard, and I agree: The banquet in heaven is right around the corner! +++++++ Return to Glory Ministries hosts Wild at Heart men's retreats, and you can find more information at our website: http://rtgministries.org/

    Psanghs Sampler #013 - Forever Country by Artists of Then, Now and Forever

    Forever Country: Artists of Then, Now and Forever: This “country christian” song is a beautiful combination of three great country hits: Country Roads, Take Me Home by John Denver, On the Road Again by Willie Nelson and the foundational song I Will Always Love You by Dolly Parton. I see pointers to heaven, a map of the path to get there, and the source of it all wrapped up and beautifully arranged. Jesus has always loved us, even before we were conceived, and so those lyrics are beautifully present throughout this arrangement. I have been noticing The Gospel everywhere, so why not in a country song? Maybe you can see what I saw. Remember to check out the YouTube video link where you will see these 30 classic country artists artistically and beautifully arranged in sound and sight, with Dolly as the closer. https://youtu.be/PzR7r0oADFs Forever Country youtu.be +++++++ Return to Glory Ministries hosts Wild at Heart men's retreats, and you can find more information at our website: http://rtgministries.org/
