MORNING THOUGHT: A few of nights ago as I was talking with a friend the Lord spoke to me concerning something that had happened earlier in that evening. After I got off the phone with the young lady I went into some prayer about what the Lord had spoke to me and then I sat for just a little while and waited because I needed confirmation on what I had heard. I needed to make sure that it was of the Lord. Then I went in my kitchen and I heard the words again so I went right into prayer once again because I knew that He, the Lord, wanted to speak words in my spirit so I closed my eyes and listened as He spoke saying “Quench not the fire that I have placed on the inside of you for that fire represents the Spirit of the Living God, yes, that fire is a representation of the out-pouring of My Spirit on the inside of you!” Then, as I was sitting on my bed last night I was thinking about my journey over the last two years. I was thinking about how one minute, while my mother was alive, I felt as if I was walking with the Lord hand and hand and then next minute, after she had died, it felt like I had fallen face first back down into the valley. Later, in that year, as the New Year came in I thought about how things would change and for about 30 days they did, then I became sick. Now, the funny thing is every time I got better, I got worse. I know that sounds strange, but what that means is every time I got over one thing and I felt like I was back to myself something else even worse happened. The thing I fasted, prayed, laid at the foot of God fasting and praying, I had laid on the alter and there was no change. So, I just I kept praising the Lord no matter what the doctor’s told me. Over the course of the last nine month the doctors told me you have Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, I praised the Lord. You have Heart Disease I praised Him harderd. You have COPD I got louder with my Praise, You have Asthma my praise got stronger. You have this and you have that, it just kept coming and I kept praising Him. Now, because I continued to praise Him I have been healed of all most of all that they, the doctor’s have tried to speak on me and God is still in His healing process with me. Now, as I got into my prayer time after being in thought about all of this last night the Lord began to deal with me. When I say deal with me, I mean I had tears falling from my eyes. You see, while I was going through these things I could not understand the purpose of all of my suffering but God…He began to show me the purpose last night. It all came down to being able to encourage His people. You see last night, He spoke to me the same word to me yet again “Quench not the fire that I have placed on the inside of you for that fire represents the Spirit of the Living God, yes, that fire is a representation of an out-pouring of My Spirit dwelling on the inside of you!” Then He, the Lord took me to this Scripture: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matthew 3:11 PRAYER: Father we come to You this morning saying thank You for the Your loving kindness. Lord we say thank You that You loved us even when we did not love ourselves. Lord we say thank You Father for the activity of our limbs. Lord before we ask for anything we must first ask that You forgive us of the sins that we have committed against You by omission and by commission. Father today we have but one simply request, Lord today we ask that by Your Resurrection Power that you rekindle every gift, talent and calling that You have giving unto us with the out-pouring of Your Fire and we will be sure to give your name all the glory, all the honor and all of the praise. WORD OF THE DAY: Way too many Christians have come to the point in their Christian walk where they have begun to quench the Spirit. Some can feel themselves being quickened in the spirit during praise break and they have refused to give the Lord some praise. Many have felt a like shouting during worship and yet their mouths remain closed. Yet, there are stills some who have felt the Spirit of God moving upon them during prayer and they feel as if they cannot even say amen, let only give the Lord the highest form of praise by saying Hallelujah. This is because they have been weighed down spiritually. Have I not command that Ye lay aside every weight? Hebrews 12:1 Beloved as of late you have found yourself at a place in your walk with Me where I have asked your for praise and you have felt just as if you could not lift your hands and truly praise Me. Then, I ask you to set aside time to worship Me and you just could not fully come into My presence because you could not let go of all that was holding you back from really worshipping Me. It has even come to the point where when you feel My Spirit quickening on the inside of you that you feel as if you cannot move freely in Me. My child the lack of praise and the heaviness that you have been feeling has been brought on by the fact that you have allowed yourself to become overwhelmed in your situations. You, my child have cried in the midnight hour, you have had to battle health issues, money issues, family issues, and now more recently you have been secretly battling depression brought on by all of the other issues. You have cried when no one has seen you and you have tried to been strong in the presence of others. Beloved it is time that you lay aside every problem and every burden. Come and Cast thy burden upon Me, and I shall sustain You: I shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalms 55:22(edited.) It is time that you bring all that is weighing you down and keeping you from freely praising Me to Me and lay it down, remebering that you cannot pick it back up. My Child it is time that you come into the wisdom that while you will have burdens it is not meant for you to carry them all. Trying to carrying them all will weight you down making you too heavy to truly worship Me. Yes, trying to carry them all will quench that which I have put on the inside of you. Catch this: When you quench My Spirit you are essentially quenching the Power of My Spirit. Beloved quench not the fire that I have placed on the inside of you for that fire is a representation of an out-pouring of My Spirit dwelling on the inside of you, instead come to cast your burdens upon Me so that I may give you rest and that you may be renewed in the Spirit of your mind. SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 1 Thessalonians 5:19, Matthew 11: 28 & Ephesians 4:23 (KJV) Quench not the Spirit but rather Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. And (you will) be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
