I was very blessed to read your stories Amy lisa and Servant4Yeshuah.

Servant4Yeshuah · Nov 26, 2007

Beloved friend
Yeshuah will know the end of the story. For now I am just clinging closely to Him and trusting Him with all of my being.

But thanks to Him, He is restoring my joy.

JPPT1974 · Nov 26, 2007

Just cling onto Jesus as
He is indeed the way, the truth,
And the life! That is all that you need!

Yes..... HE HIMSELF is ALL I need.

I have one need! Just Him......

And He has not left me disappointed!

Shulamite · Mar 16, 2008

Bumping this one up again....
Let's keep it going!

Unconsolable longing!
Oh I am so blessed and thankful and in awe that He did this IN me.

This aching, crying cry and unconsolable longing is His own doing in me and each of us that feels this way for Him. Oh do we even begin to realize the magnitude of this intimate act and touch from Him IN us?

Amylisa · Mar 17, 2008

Amen and amen Shulamite! Words cannot express the utter precious-ness of this gift from His Heart. I wouldn't want to be anything else but His.

Thank you for 'bumping' this up again!

We Love YOU Yeshua!!!!!!!!!!!!! More than words can tell.
Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise
The glories of our God and King
The wonders of His grace!!!

Beautiful............ It's good to remember this deep place, like God's pocket, where we can be wrapped in his safety while he carries us along.

Shulamite · Mar 18, 2008

I agree

It is truly a secret place.....

How beautiful.....

Dear all, I have just found this line, and I am amazed to find others, like myself, who ache with their Love for Jesus, to be able to express it on a public Forum, there are no words to express how I feel, I have been like all of you looking wondering if I was
losing it, no one else seemed to have these feeling, this ache that gave me no rest
the restlessness, the rocking back and forth, the dreams, the praying, the tears,
the wondering, the worrying, and the trying to talk to Pastors, about what you are feeling trying to explain yourself when you don't even understand what the heck is going on anyway, and there reply, you perplex me, you ladies are explaining exzactly
how I have been feeling, and its great to know that I am not alone in this Love that I
have for Yeshua. and its a relief to know this. also I should mention that I have a Visual Disability, so posting pictures for me is so far a no no, May God Bless you all. Elshevia.

Shulamite · Mar 5, 2009

I am so glad that you found this thread and a place where you can express what you are feeling. I have had many people give me the same response when I have shared my experiences with Yeshua..
I feel it's private between myself and Yeshua and it's a personal drawing and intimate touch that Yeshua decides to have with an individual that may only be understood between YOU AND THE LORD.

Just like any relationship, there's aspects of it that are only understood between the two people that are in that relationship, so it is with Yeshua and us as individuals.

Welcome!

MyLordIsMyLife · Mar 5, 2009

I love your post so very much, Shulamite!! I think I have felt that longing once or twice. I do feel I'm growing closer to my lovely Lord!

But I wonder, can one be married and be in love with Jesus? that's always been my question...

Shulamite, what do you mean when you say you live face to face with Jesus? You certainly share a deep and wonderful love with Him.

I have to read the whole thread sometime. It looks and sounds very beautiful. May your Lover bless you forever my sister Shulamite.

Love
Jonathan, your brother in Christ

kisstheson · Mar 5, 2009

personally jonathan I see Jesus with the eyes of my heart or soul. I wish I could see him with my physical eyes. mostly this is how I have a face to face relationship with him, by beholding him in my mind or heart.

Shulamite · Mar 6, 2009

Hi Jonathan....
Thanks for your statements and your question.
When I say that I live with Him face to face, I mean to say that Yeshua and live so close to one another in Spirit and in heart and soul, that it's just as real and tangible as a physical face to face. My spirit and His Spirit are so "one" that it is no different than having a visible relationship with someone!
Does that help?

Also, you can be in an earthly marriage situation and be madly and deeply in love with Yeshua. I simply do not put my earthly marriage first. I remain in my earthly marriage, but it's not what I am called to FIRST. Yeshua is my Husband and my One and Only. It should be that way for ALL who are married or single... No earthly relationship can come first.
Yeshua said that children were not to come first, friends, money or marriage. He is your Love.
I feel it takes the Holy Spirit to make that happen in a person's heart. Too many times a married person let's that earthly marriage take first place. Paul knew this and that's why he told people in the scriptures that he wanted people live in "undivided devotion" to the Lord. He knew that some people who marry will put more affection, time and love into that human marriage than their REAL and eternal marriage to Yeshua. Not all do this, but some do. I feel that only Yeshua can draw a person so strongly and so intimately that this does not happen.

Personally, I fell in love with Him, He romanced me to Himself and revealed to me that earthly marriage is not permenant, it's not my Life nor is it my focus. He is!
Too many people have it backwards and say that human marriage is the real thing and that our marriage to Yeshua is the "allegory" or "metaphor" when in actuality, it's the opposite! God gave earthly marriage as the "parable" to help us see the eternal reality WITH HIM forever.

I hope this answers your question!
Love you brother.

Yeshua's Spirit has caused such a deep yearning cry in my heart for Him that it cannot be expressed. It's a longing melancholy that is painful. Groanings that have no human language.

I yearn for Him so INTENSELY that nothing consoles me except Him.
Down below is a devotional I found online recently. I pray it blesses those who have not yet felt this yearning.
Prophets fained with longing for the Lord. David penned that he panted for the living God! Have YOU felt this with the Lord? I'm not asking if you've read about or even listened to others share about it. Have YOU tasted this with the Lord?

Yearning For Christ

"You can yearn after Jesus so much that you sit in His presence and nothing comes out but a deep groaning--something that cannot be uttered. It says, 'Jesus, you're the only happiness there is in this world. I've tasted and seen that You're good--and I want all of You.'
"This is the deep, inner cry of someone who hungers for holiness and is anguished over his iniquities. Yet he admits, 'I don't know how to pray, I don't know what to pray for, or as I should.' His heart's cry is: 'Holy Spirit, come! You know the mind of God. You know how to pray according to the will of the Father. Walk with me--take control!'
"This is the mark of one who is walking in the Spirit: He has an insatiable appetite for Jesus. Yet it's not just because he's sick of all the garbage he sees in the world--all the filth, crime, drugs and unemployment. No, rather, it's something very positive. Like Paul, he's just anxious to depart and be with the Lord!
"This person is being moved upon by the Spirit to go after Christ with such passion and emotion that He is overwhelmed. His heart so longs for Christ, no words can express his hunger and love. It is a marvelous, powerful experience--yet it is also painful, because he cannot yet come into the fullness that awaits him!"
"Sadly, Few Today have this Passionate Groaning After Christ... Dear saint, what has happened in your life since you got saved? Are you just going through the motions? Are you lukewarm? Are you afraid to get 'on fire' for the Lord because you'll be considered a fanatic?
"Ask the Holy Ghost to so reveal Christ to your heart that you'll be totally weaned from this world. Can you say right now you're ready to go be with Him, that you want Him more than your very life? You may say that often--but do you mean it when you sing, 'He's more than life to me?' Are you more passionately in love with Jesus now than when you first met Him?
"Right now, the Holy Spirit is poking at the dying embers of your love. It is because He is desirous of setting your heart on fire. Are you allowing the Spirit of God to convict you of sin and unbelief? If so, rejoice! He wants you to be cleansed from every spot or wrinkle on that day when you meet your Bridegroom!
"So yield to His leading. Let Him do His work in you completely--and you truly will know what it means to walk in the Spirit!"

Bumping this original message. Amen and amen!

There is another message by this same person, David Wilkerson...it's called The Queen In Gold and it's all about the marriage of Christ to His Bride. I will see if I can find a link. I know I need the encouragement.

Amylisa · Mar 6, 2009

Here is that link, please read the message! It is awesome!
http://www.worldchallenge.org/en/node/4204

Here is the beginning, just to get you hooked ;-) ~

The 45th Psalm provides us with a beautiful picture of Christ and His bride. A great marriage is about to take place, and the writer is "boiling over" with ecstasy and excitement: "My heart is inditing [boiling over] a good matter..." (Psalm 45:1).
The psalmist can hardly contain himself. He is trying to describe something he sees in his mind's eye - an incredible ceremony, with a grand and glorious Bridegroom and a beautiful bride dressed in gold!

This Wedding Is All About King Jesus Taking A Bride!

Shulamite · Mar 6, 2009

Hi Amylisa!
Yes, I have this from Dave Wilkeson.
I have the original devotional mailing when it came to me years ago. I also have the one that's titled, "The Passionate Bride"
Yeshua perfectly timed it for me in the mail when He began drawing me years ago as His Lover. I didn't see it happening to anyone else around me and I questioned whether what I was feeling was real or not and then Dave Wilkerson's devotional came in the mail called,"The passionate bride" and as I read through it, it ALL SPOKE TO ME and I kept smiling (with a blush!) and saying, "Yes, that's ME!!!"

blueskye · Mar 6, 2009

I think I have experienced this...but why does it bring pain???????

Jesus himself suffered so much pain, emotional and physical.

Maybe we are meant to suffer emotional pain too....that is what I think. maybe I am wrong but that is what my experience says. It is the fellowship of sharing in His Sufferings.
