On June 19th 2000 I was sitting and reading the bible only the words in red, I stood up and began to read the words with all the life in me, I then felt so refreshed, I then felt to go and to pray in my bedroom alone,I closed the door behind me and got down on my knees to be humble before God.
I prayed and ask God if he would give me the gift of tongues and the understanding of it, then I felt to stand up.
Lord Jesus, you have commanded us and given us grace to love one another as you loved us. As we do this, we will abide in You, and You in us. Otherwise we cannot bear fruit. Apart from you we can do nothing. You have made a way for us. You have poured out your love in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, and we can remain in your love. We thank You that through You we will bear much fruit. (Romans 5:5; John 15:4,5)
Lord, we pray for all those not abiding in You. We pray that they will repent, and not be thrown away as worthless branches. We pray that those in the church will never dry up.
I am commanded by God to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. Eph 5.18
I hunger and thirst for righteousness, and I am filled. Mt 5.6
I believe that God grants me, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may actually dwell in my heart through faith. Eph 3.16 3.17
Being rooted and grounded in love I may be able to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that I may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Eph 3.18
Even when full I thirst for more of God and I come to Jesus and drink.
It was December 2nd, 2001, and I was speaking at a five day crusade in the Indian city of Bijapur, in northern Karnataka. As I climbed the steps to the stage on the last day, my eyes surveyed the massive crowd filling the ground. My heart was moved with compassion and I felt a tremendous excitement.
As I looked around at all those people, a pastor next to me asked me incredulously how it was that thousands had gathered here. He told me: “Bijapur is well-known as one of the toughest cities in the state of Karnataka, and no preacher has ever managed to get through to the people before.
The Disciple,—Sometimes this question is asked, “Since God is fully aware of our needs, and knows how to supply them in the best way, not for the good only but for the evil, how should we pray to Him about them? Whether our necessities be temporal or spiritual, can we by our prayers alter the will of God?”
The Master,—1. Those who ask such a question show clearly that they do not know what prayer is. They have not lived a prayerful life, or they would know that prayer to God is not a form of begging.
1. To pray does not imply that without prayer God would not give us anything or that He would be unaware of our needs, but it has this great advantage, that in the attitude of prayer the soul is best fitted to receive the Giver of blessing as well as those blessings He desires to bestow. Thus it was that the fullness of the Spirit was not poured out upon the Apostles on the first day, but after ten days of special preparation.
If a blessing were conferred upon one without a special readiness for it, he would neither value it sufficiently nor long retain it.
