Wholistic Hearts- A Journey from the Head to the Heart, Encounters with Jesus

This is an encounter episode — find a quiet spot, grab your journal and headphones, and come ready to meet Jesus.
In this encounter, Jesus is waiting for you. He's reserved a table — set perfectly, just for you — and He's ready to dine with His beloved.
In this guided experience you will:
Receive a letter written by Jesus declaring who you are
Open a gift chosen personally by the Father and Son
Sit face to face with your Bridegroom and share what's on your heart
Discover your heavenly name and identity

After the Encounter:
Journal what stood out — the gift, the letter, any resistance you felt
Ask Jesus about anything that surprised you at the table

The beginning of the Gospel according to Luke starts with these penned words…
“Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed fitting to me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in an orderly sequence, most excellent Theophilus; so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/2692/luk.1.1-4.NASB2020
Earlier on in the Old Testament Joshua was told to stack stones after crossing the Jordan River on dry ground as a symbol of God's faithfulness towards His children.
What if we sat down and wrote a letter about what God has done in our lives? What if we sat for a moment and meditated on the "rocks of remembrance" in our lives? What are the testimonies of God we would share?
Take time to sit down and ask the Holy Spirit to help you visualize what your rocks are? Use your imagination to picture the words, the testimonies you have been witness to.

Hey Friends! Thought I would share a simple encounter the Holy Spirit led our Wholistic Hearts group in last week. Using our sanctified imagination, take a moment to get comfy, close your eyes, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you through this sweet Secret Place with Jesus.
Imagine you are in the middle of a beautiful, sunny meadow....

In the previous episode, we talked about God as our refuge and our God of justice from Psalm 9. Today, we're moving from head knowledge to heart experience - we're going to encounter Him as our refuge. This is a guided meditation where you'll bring your burdens, your injustices, your heavy feelings to Jesus and experience Him as your high shelter and perfect hiding place. Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and let the Holy Spirit meet you right where you are. You are not forgotten. There is hope.
Psalm 9:9-10 (TPT): "All who are oppressed may come to Yahweh as a high shelter in the time of trouble. A perfect hiding place. For everyone who knows your wonderful name keeps putting their trust in you. They can count on you for help no matter what. Oh Lord, you will never, no, never neglect those who come to you."
HOW TO USE THIS EPISODE:
Find a Quiet Space:
This is not an episode to listen to while driving or multitasking
Set aside 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted time
Get comfortable, close your eyes

Bring Something Specific:
An injustice you're facing
A burden from the news or social media
A situation where you feel overlooked or forgotten
Whatever feels heavy right now

Let the Holy Spirit Lead:
There are moments of silence - don't skip them
Notice what Jesus wants to say or show you
Picture Him as your High shelter, your Hiding Place
Hand over what you're carrying

Write It Down:
After the encounter, journal what you sensed
What did the Holy Spirit press upon your imagination?
What did you see, hear, or feel?
We remember what we take time to write down

You are seen. You are known. You are not alone. There is hope, my friend.

The world feels heavy with injustice right now - human trafficking, war, violence, oppression. Maybe you're not just watching it on the news - maybe you're living it. Where is God in all this suffering? Psalm 9 has an answer for us. God sees every injustice, He cares deeply about the oppressed, and He is our refuge RIGHT NOW - not someday in heaven, but today in the midst of the mess. In this episode, we are going back into our Encountering the Psalms series- Psalm 9, to discover God as our high shelter and perfect hiding place, and how He's inviting us to partner with Him, as well.
SCRIPTURES MENTIONED:
Psalm 9 (Passion Translation)
Psalm 9:9-10 (key verses)
Hosea 2:15
KEY THEMES:
God Sees Injustice
God Is Our Refuge NOW
God Calls Us to Partner With His Justice
QUOTES:
Charles Spurgeon on Psalm 9: "We have here before us most engagingly a triumphal hymn, may it strengthen the faith of the militant believer and stimulate courage of the timid saint."
Psalm 9:10 (TPT): "You will never, no, never neglect those who come to you."

Journal Prompts:
What cause is God calling you to partner with?
How can you support organizations fighting injustice?
