God is Here
God is Here
Yesterday, Sunday, we went out to the Rez Church and were truly blessed. One of the most powerful worship leaders in our area showed up to lead worship and as we sang praises to our Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit moved throughout the building leaving a fresh fragrance of HIS Presence. What a wonderful experience it was. To worship with other believers who know what it is to be in the presence of GOD.
Before we left the house yesterday morning, the Lord spoke to my heart about what to share or preach on when we got there. The words of our daily devotional came to my mind, “Who are you trying to impress?”
So, when it came time during the service to share and preach on what God had given me, I spoke on Matthew 6:5 where Jesus teaches His disciples to pray as if you are simply talking to God. Would your child say to you, "O, great, most gracious and loving earthly parent, what is it that thou dost wish me to do?" I don’t think so…not in this day and age. You would have a good chuckle if they did. We don’t use those flowery words in our daily life so why do we think we have to be so rigid in our speech to our Heavenly Father? If you need to get back in touch with Praying to your Heavenly Father, why not listen intently to the prayers of new believers. They are infants in their Christian experience and don’t speak out a lot of gobble de gook. They are spontaneous and honest in their prayers. I encourage you to get back to basics and know that GOD is HERE….wherever you are. We will be discussing the attributes of God, soon. There is no better way to know who God is than to learn and study HIS Names and HIS Attributes.
God Bless You all and know that we pray for you all daily.

You are right on the money with this one. God measures the person by his or her heart, so let us pray from that perspective. Good word brother!
Be blessed
