❤😊I knew I would love ur teach when you exalted God from the start... and it only got better. Of all the AYIN short clips, yours is outstanding as it is permeated with the glory of the spirit of the letter with such clarity and insight! Oh God, multiply back to this precious son of yours insight from Your very presence.
Great video, thank you. You're talking about Empaths without saying the word; that being an Empath is Holy and should be treasured ... especially in this cruel world (my interpretation).
Lynna, a brief look at history. In the Old Testament, the Spirit of God rested upon certain special people, usually prophets, priests and kings. In the New Testament, the same Spirit comes to dwell within every believer, not simply rest temporarily upon them, as in the Old Testament. Whether we are speaking about Old or New Testaments, the evidence is that the Holy Spirit, because He is the Spirit of love and of Christ, imparts a sensitivity to others and to life in general, hitherto unknown. I would avoid the use of the term 'empath', this is not a Christian term at all, because it suggests a power that is apart from the Holy Spirit. All the gifts of God are inseparable from His Person. The empathy felt by a Christian is a product of the love of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, empathy is inseparable from the Holy Spirit. As an aside, do you remember that Noah's dove would only rest upon the renewed face of the earth after the Flood? That is teaching us that the Holy Spirit, symbolised by the dove, will only come to rest upon a person who has been renewed or 'born again' through faith in Christ.
That is one of the most interesting explanations of the Holy Spirit I have heard. So many religious teachers have difficulty explaining the Holy Spirit and most religious institutions avoid the subject all together. Thank you, Kevin.
It's a very fair question and one that exposes the essence of what I was trying to say. Without getting into philosophical-type explanations (which I would struggle with anyway), let me give a simple illustration. Two men go through a dreadful experience, say, a Nazi Death Camp. One man has no spiritual resources and believes that the only hope of him surviving is to close-in on himself, become an island, stop seeing the other prisoners as human beings, they are numbers not names. If he manages to survive it was partly because he grew a thick skin, or, in other words, he dehumanised himself, became less than a human. This was one solution and many people took it (who can blame them?). But the other man has spiritual resources that are, actually, limitless, because they are sourced in God. He has a very different outlook, believing that his humanity is such a precious gift from God that he would rather perish than lose it by growing a thick skin that shields him from feeling for others. He continues to feel for others even though it increases his pain. The way the unbeliever faces his troubles is very different from the way the believer, the sanctified man, faces his. He not only resists growing a thick and unfeeling skin, he doesn't need it! He can continue to love and be selfless in the midst of the worst suffering. We've seen this in many great saints of the past and it's nothing short of a miracle. Their secret is found in Christ, this was what men witnessed at His crucifixion. The devil and wicked human beings threw their worst at the Son of God and He refused to relinquish His humanity, even comforting the crucified man next to Him. He could have summoned tens of thousands of angels and slaughtered all wicked that were there. But He didn't, He was and is the most sanctified of human beings and showed us how we were to overcome terrible difficulties and still remain sensitive and caring. The test of life is, will I be less of a human being at the end, or more? Sanctified men do not grow thick skins, they refuse, just like Jesus.
I LOVE our Hebrew Heritage!! Thank YOU, YESHUA for the Grafting!

@@l.k.2337 Thankyou for your encouraging words, they are appreciated.
You said that sanctified men don’t grow thick skin. But how could Jesus keep his cool on the cross without it?

@@kevinoneil56 thank you very much. I understand better now.
@@jean-chritophedesjarlais8435 My pleasure. Actually, your good question helped me see it more clearly.
