Your Spirit & Your Heart — Your Spirit Classes: Developing your Human Spirit

**Blessed are the people who**

They walk, O Lord,

This week’s Powerpoint:

When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
**-Psalm 27:8**

THE MOMENT

For this exercise, choose a moment - it can be anything. You can plan it ahead, or you can choose a moment that just happens.

Put down all other inputs - phone, computer, etc. Just be entirely with this moment.

First, mentally choose one facet of God for this time, this place. There’s no wrong way to do it - just choose something. “The God of Creativity.” “The God who makes Order.” Whatever you like for that moment.

Then speak to your heart (out loud if you can), and ask your heart what it loves about this situation, this moment? It can be as small and simple as the coffee mug on your desk, or as large as the night stars. What does your heart love?

Stay away from the habit of making things into spiritual metaphors. If it’s a rainbow, just see THIS rainbow for THIS moment, rather than the overlay of all the Bible references to Noah, other rainbows you’ve seen, etc. You want to just experience this as though it were the very first time you’ve ever seen a rainbow.

Ask God & your spirit to establish a holy milestone in your heart of this event - this moment, place, time. Ask for it to be put into the database of your heart GPS. God was here, and you were here, at this moment, for this experience. It was for you alone. It is now one of your treasures. It is now part of your life permanently, and it will represent one of the points from which your heart can help direct you toward God’s heart, even when you’re not thinking about it.

As you do this, you are creating a new set of milestones, a new heart database. This allows your body to rest much more deeply for this moment. This is the way you were designed to experience reality.

Tool: DELIGHTING

For this exercise, begin a log of the tiny (or large!) daily delights that the Lord has loaded into your day. Begin looking for them actively. Use a means of recording them that also delights you!

All day, everything you experience is specifically designed for you. The sunrise. The sunset. That song. That bird. That comment by a coworker. Woven into your day next to the challenges and irritations are tiny little things that God deliberately planted to bring you delight. Begin teaching yourself to find them and lean hard into feeling the delight.

**YOU ARE DESIGNED TO LIVE EXPERIENCING THE KEEN DELIGHT OF GOD’S DELIGHT.**

Blessing your spirit:

The focus for this week:

Speak to Giver. Bless Giver to begin working with the Parasympathetic system and the corresponding places in the brain, to release deep rest into the body. Bless Giver also to drink deeply of the delight of the Lord, to look into the Lord’s eyes, and to release the deep knowledge of God’s delight into the entire being of the person.
