The Holy Spirit said:
An individual
difference in My being able to work certain powers in your life has to do with
recognition. Maintain conscious effort every day in remembering that I, the
Christ, can be honored by the little things as well as the large. Your attitude,
your perception, and the ability to rest in Me make all the difference. Pay close
attention to where My Spirit keeps working. Scripture defines the situation.
Prayer: Lord, keep
my spiritual eyes open to see you
always.
And Jesus said:
If you truly believe that all things are held together by Me and that I can be the source and sum of all you attempt, then every practical behavior you choose can be praise to heavenly Father. Your breathing, your act of eating, your essential self, every cell of yours can be joined by Me. So, when you experience any of these, give conscious acts of praise and honor to Me and kingdom growth.
Prayer: Lord, let everything I attempt glorify your
name.
Holy Spirit whispered:
You may not see what is left behind from your involvement with others. But because I give you everlasting principles that sustain heaven as well as earth, your best influence will also be eternal. Each word or act in My name gives off cosmic energy that outlasts earthly time because you can speak from heaven strength. Stay alert to what you say and do every day.
Prayer: Lord, I
stand amazed, that something I might say could last through eternity. Let the
Holy Spirit filter my mouth.
When we get hurt God Answers:
Simply refuse to
criticize anyone. Pray heavenly Grace instead. Keep growing your sensitive
caring toward others. Let any tough-minded thoughts stay within yourself and do
not be too hard on yourself or anyone else. At the point of your harshness, Forgive,
and do not let criticism become your motivation.
Prayer: Forgive us, Lord, when we pass judgment upon
ourselves and other people’s behavior.
And God Answered:
Often, you wonder
why I do not keep you feeling My presence. . . all the time, every waking minute. Your flesh would burn up. I can
only expose you to absolute purity for brief moments, only those amounts your
body and spirit can absorb. Even one like Moses had to hide his face from the
people because My glory shined too bright after being with Me a length of time.
Prayer: Lord, teach me patience to
handle your power and glory, one step at a time.
And Holy Spirit said:
The heavenly
kingdom produces its own best fruit , in a sense, because it joins the proper
soil. On earth, you are the soil. You will become plowed anew, enriched, and
readied for the seed of holy kingdom. I, your Savior, give the life energy
to grow the fruit, but you must be ready to receive the proper seed.
If you rebel, you grow the weeds that take place in the good soil. Weeds wither
and die. Only the kingdom-type plants endure forever.
Prayer: Lord, sometimes it is
scary being the soil and knowing we get plowed up but give us courage to accept
the right seed.
Lady Wisdom and brother
knowledge can be your friend [ Proverbs 2].
Jesus of Nazareth makes it so.
Prayer: Thank you Lord for any scriptural insight.
