Hello to everyone, I have been very busy writing my new book with some friends of the Lord and it is now available for free. The title of the book is "Line Upon Line, Testimonies of The Overcomer". Please click on the link at the end of the post. I am doing most of my writing on Facebook. If you would like to connect with me please send me a friend request.
Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength....” Each day we are in “The School of The Spirit” … Learning….. Learning to “sit still”… Learning not to “talk in class”… Learning “obedience”…..Learning to “wait on the Lord”… there is a “learning curve”. Learn to sit quietly in His presence with an expectant heart, not passively, but actively reaching out to Him with your inner man. Let the longing of your heart speak, rather than “many words”. As you quiet your mind and reach out from your heart, a heavenly prayer language will begin to flow. The natural tongue has fallen silent as the Spirit begins to make intercession. You begin to “hear” with the “inner ear” what the “spirit is saying”. He will speak to the issues of your heart that are the keys to your functioning in the Kingdom. This ministry touches the deepest needs within that are hidden to the “natural eye”. What have you given the Lord to baptize today? Your tongue ? Your eyes ? Your ears ? To baptize something means to completely immerse it. When you present your members as "completely available", He will baptize with “The Spirit” and “with Fire”. Matthew 3:11 “……he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire”
Our walk with the Lord is hindered to the degree that we fall short of entering into the place of loving acceptance prepared for us in Jesus Christ. We end up striving for approval instead of believing in our God given standing in grace. We work hard instead of trusting much. We wear ourselves out trying to please a Father we’re not sure accepts us, even though He has made every provision for our complete acceptance. All of our life, whether we knew it or not, the Father has been seeking us. He has chosen us before time began and given us both purpose and grace. Grace calls us to walk with Him and delivers us from our fears. He gives us His righteousness and His holiness in this New Creation. Ephesians 4:24 ...and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. You are predestined, by Your Father’s eternal purpose, to be conformed to the image of His Son. As your mind is renewed to this New Covenant reality, you learn to walk in the righteousness and holiness that is already yours in Christ. When you truly see yourself united with Christ, the Holy Spirit bears witness that you are truly born of God. As you, by faith, thank the Father for what He says He has done the Holy Spirit witnesses with your spirit that it is Truth. This assurance grows and you are filled with thanksgiving and praise as you are overwhelmed by His goodness and grace. John 4:24 (The Message Bible) God is sheer being itself - Spirit. Those who worship Him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.
