Wouldn't y'all
just love if every time that you went to church you had a true
visitation from God? I know that God only reveals Himself to those
that he chooses to reveal Himself to, and in the way that He chooses
to reveal Himself also. This entire process is put on by Father, and
run in the way that He chooses.
I have lost my
desire to simply attend church services any longer. My days of being
a spectator are far gone also. I want every time that I come through
the door of the church to enter into the presence of the Lord. I have
a new meaning, and desire when I go to church. I want to worship in a
way that I have never worshiped before. I want to get the attention
of Holy Spirit, so He will come to me, and rest upon my Spirit.
I want to be
blessed when I go into the sanctuary. I want to bring my gift of
praise to Father, Son , Holy Spirit, and it be so acceptable to Them
that They reward me with Their presence. That is the best gift that I
could ever receive. Just to be in the presence of a Holy God is
Awesome!! It is really the best; I want to say feeling, but it is so
much more than just a feeling. It is an act of completion. I don't
know how to put this event into words.
I know how
unworthy that I am to be in the presence of Father. At the same time
I am so grateful to Jesus for making it possible to be worthy of a
visitation. Nobody comes into the presence of Father without
accepting the shed blood of Jesus as a sacrifice for the atonement
for our sins. Holy Spirit gives me trouble in explaining what He
really is to me. Even though He is a Spirit I can detect His presence
when He enters into a room.
I wasted a lot of
time by not recognizing Holy Spirit in my thoughts, and prayers. I
knew that He really existed. The problem I was having was that I saw
Him moving in the lives of other people. I saw Him affecting people
in the church in different ways. I knew that He was real, but somehow
I felt that He was really not very interested in me.
I tried several
different times to go down front while others were being slain in the
Spirit. I thought if somebody would just lay hands on me that I would
receive a visitation. Every time I was left standing in the spotlight
feeling like a foolish man that was rejected by Holy Spirit. Every
time I went back to my seat feeling like I was a fool for even
trying. I was even told by one woman that she could lay hands on me, and i would receive the baptism of Holy Spirit. then she said that she wouldn't, because then i would think that it was her doing it, and not God. That was heart-breaking!!
I didn't give up
praying, or hoping, or even trying to receive from Holy Spirit. I had
come to know in my Spirit that He was a vital part of the plan that
God had for me. I told all of you my encounter with God that I had
not too long ago. During, or after, I really don't know when, and
when doesn't really matter. I am learning about Holy Spirit in my life now.
Holy Spirit is the
real essence of the living God. He does what He wants to. When He
wants to, and how that He wants to do it. He affects all of us in
different manners. The outward appearances of His manifestations are
as different as those being affected by Holy Spirit. What I am trying
to say is that His affect on us is as unique as we are as
individuals.
Now, I am in no
way trying to say that I am an expert in anything of a Spiritual
nature. I am nothing more than a student, or a disciple of Jesus
Christ. I can only tell you the things that I have personally
witnessed, or has come to me through the revelation of the Word. I
can say this for sure. I am very excited about the things that are
being revealed to me, and I want to tell everybody about how real the
things of God really are, as they come to me.
It is like in the
Bible when Jesus would heal a person, or preform a miracle. He would
tell whomever was there to go, and tell no one what they saw. I
wonder why He done that, because He knew that the first thing that we
would do is tell everybody that we met, or knew personally. It is in
a human nature to either spread the truth, or a piece of gossip.
Which ever category a thing falls in is what we talk about.
…......................Much Love
