Take
time for prayer. Take more time to be alone with Me. So only will you prosper.
Realize
that the hearing of Spirit Sounds is more than the hearing of all earth's
noises. I am with you. Let that content you, nay, more, let that fill you with
rapture.
Seek
sometimes not even to hear Me. Seek a silence of spirit-understanding with Me.
Be not afraid. All is well. Dwell much on what I did, as well as what I said.
Remember,
I "touched her hand, and the fever left her." Not many words, just a
moment's contact and all fever left her. She was well, whole, calm, able to
arise and "minister unto them."
My touch
is still a potent healer. Just feel that touch. Sense My Presence, and the
fever of work and care and fear just melts into nothingness -- and health, joy,
peace, take its place.
"For she said within herself, If I may but touch
his garment, I shall be whole." Matthew 9:21
This next excerpt is from a
devotional I receive via email from Ephesians Four Ministries (www.churchgrowth.org) entitled Prime
Time with God featuring devotional messages from Today God Is First (TGIF) by Os Hilman:
"I want to know Christ and the power of His
resurrection...." - Philippians
3:10
If I asked you the purpose for which God made you, what
might you say? You might give a lot of answers that required some action on
your part. However, the simplest answer to that question relates to one primary
thing: fellowship. The most important thing God desires from us today is to
have a deep and intimate fellowship with each of us. …
Jesus understood how important quiet moments were with the
Father. "After He had dismissed them, He went up on a mountainside by
Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone" (Mt. 14:23). The
more mature I become in my relationship with the Lord, the more precious this
time becomes to me. It is a time I look forward to almost daily. It offers me a
time to reflect, to share my concerns with my Lord, and to hear Him speak. In
the last few years I have begun prayer walks, which accomplish three things:
fellowship, prayer, and exercise. It has changed my prayer life. I have come to
understand that Jesus views us as His friend and He wants to spend time with
us. We are depriving Him of His time when we put Him aside for the urgent. An
interesting thing happens when we make prayer a priority: Urgent things seem to
wane as we focus on Him. He makes all these other things fall into place.
Are you taking the time to get to know Him today?
… and my journey with Him continues …
