I want to experience the significance of God’s presence in my life.
I want to feel the Holy Spirit move on me, around me, and through me. To be truly baptized by the Holy Spirit to where He bestows upon me His gifts that He has for me. I know that these are gifts He gives to me and there’s nothing I can do to earn them, but I’m sure that there are things that I can do to lose them or never get them in the first place.
Am I The Problem?
I wonder if maybe I have too much pride or am too self-righteous for the Holy Spirit to truly move upon me. Would I get too puffed up thinking that it was something I was doing instead of giving the glory to God and the reverence to Him?
~ Oh Lord, Change my heart to line up with Yours, my desires to be Your desires. Help me to die to myself every day, so that You may live in me. I know that God wants to use me and I know that He has a plan and purpose for my life. I want His best for my life!
In Jesus name, I receive – Amen
“For when we reverence God and give Him the honor and worship due to Him, His presence will fill the place where we are gathered. It is His presence that will meet the deepest longing of our heart’s and set the captives free.” – Kenneth Hagin
I know that He is growing my faith as well. I saw a friend healed and oh my, was that ever amazing. But trying to explain that to someone that doesn’t understand that you can lose God’s healing is very difficult. (more on that later)
Trust Him in All Areas – Even With The Money
He is also telling me to trust Him, especially in my finances.
I figured up what the bills were for the business last night as well as the house. We need $4,075 to come into the house just to break even. Of course, my flesh was feeling stressed as I looked at these numbers last night.
But God reminded me of something Gary had said. Gary said that when we get to heaven, all of our questions will be answered and we will have the full understanding why God did things the way He did, like not answering certain prayers, leading us to certain places, using us in various ways. And I realized that I truly don’t need to stress about anything. God has it under control and it is already worked out. I just need to trust Him and thank Him.
Just like Alyssa doesn’t worry about where her next meal comes from or if she will have a roof over her head, she trusts me, as her parent, to provide for her. I need to do the same with my Father. And I know it will be even better then what I could even imagine or hope for!
My Prayer
~ I trust you, Lord. I trust that you will take care of what we need. You are my Daddy and You love me. And that is enough for me. Holy Spirit, help me to reverence You and not to grieve You. Fill me with Your presence now and throughout this day. Help me to do what You need me to do today.
In Jesus name, I receive. – Amen
