Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord. Ephesians 5:19.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Too many of you are holding your hearts captive with worry, stress, strife, anxiety, guilt, grief, and fear and it is showing in your bodies, your fellowship, your ability to go forward, and your life. The answer? I have it: Release your heart and let it sing and fill your mouth with laughter.
I repeat: RELEASE YOUR HEART AND LET IT SING. If you will let your heart sing, it will renew your youth, heal your body, and strengthen your bones. You must release your heart for from it flow the issues of life.
My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. Psalm 84:2.
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22.
Bright eyes gladden the heart; good news puts fat on the bones. Proverbs 15:30.
Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and to set free the oppressed, the prisoners and the captives. And how did He do it? By His Word in you.
“These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” John 15:11.
He gave you the gift of His peace to protect your heart but you have a part.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. John 14:27.
He came to release your heart, and for your part you must not put it in bondage again. Good news always makes your heart sing. Go to all the world and tell the good news so all hearts sing for joy and it will be good medicine for the healing of the nations.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls. Proverbs 11:30.
How do you make your heart sing? Let My Word dwell in your richly and your heart will throb and overflow with joy and joy makes you sing.
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Colossians 3:16.
It is My Word that guards your heart.
My son, give attention to My Words; incline your ear to My sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body. Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:20-23.
What made the cold hearts of the disciples on the way to Emmaus the day I raised Jesus from the dead sing for joy in their bosoms so they could run and not grow weary all the way back to Jerusalem so quickly? My Words about Jesus that reveal the good news of your redemption and salvation.
Your heart will sing if you release it from worry and trouble, your heart released will sing, that is just its nature. Stop holding it captive and making it cold and hard. It is time to work with My Word to release your heart. And how do I lead you out of slavery to the glorious freedom of My children? I lead you out of captivity with joyful singing.
And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful singing. Psalm 105:43.
You go out of oppression with joy and you are led forth by peace.
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12.
Wait for Me as your heart sings and your heart will take courage, and you will be strong.
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 63:7.
After Adam separated Himself from joy, for in My presence is fullness of joy, his heart became evil and his descendants were trapped in the realm of darkness and I was grieved by the evil thoughts that were generating in the hearts of My people. The heart deceived had become grieved and desperately sick.
“The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?” Jeremiah 17:9.
How do you heal a sick heart? A heart that has become as hard as stone and has become a burden within your bosom? Again, I have the solution. Get born again from above by My Word of truth and I give you a new heart! A heart that sings with new life. My Word took flesh and came to heal the broken hearted. Isaiah 61:1. He came to bring you abundant life. John 10:10.
Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. Ezekiel 36:25-27.
A new heart and with My Spirit in it! You are like a little bird that suddenly has learned to use its wings. The heart that sings has wings to soar above the clouds into the light of the sun when all is dark below the clouds.
My heart is in anguish within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me. I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah. I would hasten to my place of refuge from the stormy wind and tempest.” Psalm 55:4-8.
You do have the wings of the dove in your heart, just as the Holy Spirit descended like a dove and remained on Jesus so it is with you. And how do you get filled with the Spirit so you have the wings of the dove to soar along the currents of the living water from My throne poured in your hearts by the gift of the Holy Spirit? Of course, you know by now, you release your heart and let it sing.
Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father. Ephesians 5:15-20.
Do you remember how I told My people to bring up a well spring from the dry earth? Yes, of course, let your heart sing to it and it will bubble up. A fountain of youth.
From there they continued to Beer, that is the well where the LORD said to Moses, “Assemble the people, that I may give them water.” Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well! Sing to it! The well, which the leaders sank, which the nobles of the people dug, with the scepter and with their staffs.” Numbers 21:16-18.
When you release your heart to sing it becomes a wellspring within you.
“Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.” Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation.” Isaiah 12:2-3.
When keep yourself in the prison of a cold and restless heart that has nowhere to land and rest, like the dove Noah sent out of the ark, you will never know My best for your spirit, soul, and body. It is time you heard the song of the dove and let the fragrance of the flowers in your well-watered garden fill your heart.
‘For behold, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers have already appeared in the land; the time has arrived for pruning the vines, and the voice of the dove has been heard in our land.’ Song of Songs 2:11-12.
O My dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret place of the steep pathway of ascent, let Me see your face, let Me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Song of Songs 2:14.
A singing heart makes you lovely and your voice sweet to all the world. Do not harden your heart again, I have given you who have received Jesus as Lord a new and tender heart filled with song and laughter. I have done great things for you, are you glad?
When the LORD brought back the captive ones of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful singing; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. Psalm 126:1-3.
I love you. Today take this to heart and release your heart to sing and it will fill your mouth with laughter.
LET YOUR HEART SING AND FILL YOUR MOUTH WITH LAUGHTER and you will live happily ever after.
