I am spending a year learning about and emphasising discipleship. Going beyond the first steps of walking in faith to experience the deeper water of God’s presence. People of “Presence” have a special heritage. As we draw near to God, through His Word, prayer, or service, His presence infuses every area of this Discipleship trek. Inspiration happens in outreach, anointing of ministry, authentic community, deepening formation, heightening worship and supernatural power. Intimacy with God is possible when we do the drawing of ourselves toward Him. The Holy Spirit helps us today by prioritizing our urgencies. Much like warning signs on the road such as “Bridge out” or “Do not enter”, The Holy Spirit protects us. He also uses the gentle whispers that come more like directional helps, such as “ Rest area ahead”, or “Last exit before tollway”. He may deepen your experience with a “Scenic Overlook” sign. Either way, we are enriched by listening to Holy Spirit direction. Jesus anticipated the loneliness of His people and sent the Holy Spirit to help.
“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another to be with you forever-the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
John 14: 16-18
God has not left you alone today.
