Last week I shared with you one of the visions that Evangelist Brian Lake had shared on an interview he had done. Today I would like to share with you the second vision the Lord gave him…
Brian Lake… “Throughout the week I had another encounter in which God was reveling to me the rooms of the heart. He was showing me what people’s hearts looked like, and I remember this hall I walked down, it looked like a hotel, and on each side there was doors, but in this one room it was deteriorating, the floor was really weathered, and the smell was musty and the paint was coming off the walls. The Lord led me down the hall way and we looked in each one of these rooms, as we walked… One of the rooms was filled up with entertainment. There were TV sets in there; people were just consumed with entertainment, watching TV, etc. We went into another room and it was filled up with trophy’s, all these different awards that people won. And I noticed distinctly that there was one guy in there polishing all the awards he had won. I remember the guy turning around to look at the door to see who opened it, he looked at Jesus, nodded and grinned, then turned back around and went back to polishing the trophies that he won. Room after room there were party atmospheres and different things, but when we got to the end of the hallway I remember so clearly that Jesus turned to me and looked at me with a tear running down His face and He said “Brian, there is no room in these hearts for me.”
After hearing this I wept, “There is no room in these hearts for me.” This is what God desires from us, our hearts. He desires to dwell there. What is in your heart? Is your “heart room” filled with entertainment or trophies? Is it filled with memories of the past? Is your room filled with pictures of yourself? Is your room filled with your plans and your goals? Is your room filled with your family or friends? Is your room filled with your ministry? Etc. Etc.
Let’s look at Luke 10:38-42 NIV…
38As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Let our hearts be as Mary’s, not consumed with anything else, but with Jesus. Let our hearts be open rooms where it is you sitting at His feet taking in that which is Him. God bless!
