Prayer, The Spirit, and the Word?

Yes, Prayer, the Spirit, and the Word. For our growth in life we need these 3 aspects in our daily life. Oh that we would exercise our spirit daily in practicing these things!

To pray is to burn the incense to God. For this we need to enter into the Holy of Holies (Our spirit mingled with the Lord Spirit).Calling on the Lord's name, groaning, and waiting can help us enter in. In this mingled environment, the Lord can pray through us as we pray and our prayer can be so effective! Sometimes we don't have the words to speak, but our spirit can be groaning, even audibly! And the Spirit can intercede for us, how wonderful!! When we have such a burden our mind cannot quite help that much. At other times we need to use our mind to help in our utterance. Speaking means a lot to God, so when we speak it is our believing and our prayer can be released as burning incense. Our mind, however, needs to be harnessed by our mingled spirit.

The Spirit is the All-inclusive Spirit! Hallelujah! Everything we need is in the Spirit!. We can be filled inwardly and clothed outwardly with this Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom! When we touch the indwelling Spirit we can tap into a resource that beyond our imagination, thoughts, or desires. It is like a river and we need to be swept away in it! Just like we see with the picture in Ezekiel.

The Word is the Lord Himself. The written word has no positive use unless the Word unlocks it. Watchmen Nee once said that the secret of the bible is to see Christ in every line. There is a river flowing beneath those black letters and to touch this river is to receive the written word into us for our reality and life. When we come to the written word it is important to enter in by praying and exercising our spirit. Basically we need the fellowship with the Word so that we can receive the word. Hallelujah!!!

Prayer, the Spirit, and the Word!

Time for another ministering of Christ into your life!

Yes, we need to minister Christ into others and have Christ ministered into us. I enjoyed today that Christ is our all in all. God is triune, three distinct persons, but uniquely one! It is sad when man tries to explain the triune God because man cannot even explain himself! Consider trying to explain what your heart is, or your soul, or your spirit to someone while making it clear. We can't even do this sufficiently let alone explain the infinite and eternal God. This is why we are made to ENJOY GOD! Christ is the part of God we can fully enjoy. Christ is the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor 15:45b) and the life-giving Spirit is what gets mingled with our human spirit when we first believed and continuing throughout our life as we pray, sing, and read the Word all while exercising our spirit.

So, turn to your spirit and say..."OH LORD, AMEN, OH LORD AMEN, HALLELUJAH! OH LORD, AMEN, OH LORD AMEN, HALLELUJAH!"

 

Repeat until you have a permanent smile on your face, you feel burning inside, and the joy of God fills you up!  Hallelujah!!!

 

As the world gets darker and darker, the church gets brighter and brighter!

Yes, just look around and you can see that the world is not where our hope or trust should rest in.

So give up the world and obtain Christ, Amen!

The more Christ, each member of His Body obtains, the brighter the church becomes. For He is our light and we are His church!

Pray unceasingly...and remember it!

As a Christian, there is a very important right we have towards God and that is....we pray and He answers. I have had many times where I have prayed and felt that I had not received an answer (or didnt receive the answer I wanted), or kept praying and never received an answer (though, my patience eventually grew thin). I then realized that I had prayed so many times, that I forgot almost all my prayers! Or I had sought after a specific answer and had not gotten what I wanted because of my shallow thinking, not realizing that the real answer was given and it was according to God’s unfathomable wisdom. After a time, I eventually gave all to Him and accepted all His answers since..”How could we know what’s best for us when it is the Almighty God who created us, sustains us, and gives us all we need?”

Thus I spent the time to remember and even write down what and who I had prayed for, I began to see how many prayers the Lord had answered and I became so encouraged! We are so quick sometimes and have little faith, but the most faithful Lord lives within us (or He can live in you! Just believe as you call out loud..."Oh Lord Jesus!"). The Lord gives us a parable in Luke 18 about a woman and a judge (which typifies us and the Lord) and He tells us to always pray and not lose heart!

Be encouraged, pray unceasingly, remember your prayers,

and you will see just how faithful He is!

 

Diving into God...

Right now I am in spirit! To be caught up in the flow is so, so, so, wonderful! I am singing, enjoying, just dwelling....Saints, music is a vey powerful tool for us to enjoy the Lord. He enjoys so much when we sing to Him in our personal fellowship with Him. It doesn't matter if you dont have a beautiful voice. All that matters is that you make a joyful noise! Praise the Lord!

What I'm singing: "I've found a boundless store of, grace upon grace in Your name, God's greatest gift to me is You dear Lord.....Oh Lord Jesus Your name saves, by calling, I receive life. From the beginning of my life -until now...Amem!"

Blending and Traffic among the Churches

Wow, what a time I had when I visited the churches in Brazil! My vision was enlarged so much. I encourage all of you to pray and go! Not only to Brazil but to all the churches so that all the positive things could be blended together and all the negative things would be blended out.

I was very impressed with the simplicity of the saints and their exercised spirits, especially the young ones. I believe God is very happy when we are able to fellowship beyond borders and cultures. Thank you Lord, we love You for you glorious Body!

How important is the Word of God?

Well, the Word of God (as the Bible) is the Bread of Life and the Light of Man! How about that? I've experienced being away from the Word lately and I lose direction and light when I'm away too long. Thank the Lord He reminds us to get into His Word! Don't be without the Word of God too long. Daily we need this Bread. Thank you Lord for the Daily Bread!

As I turned back to the Word....Oh what light!!....Oh what life!!! God can speak to us through any verse if we approach His word with an open heart and an exercised spirit. Praise the Lord!
