Something God has been showing me is that he gives me anointing in the areas that he wants me to work. If I dont have anointing then I shouldnt be in that area. Likes singing sunday, I really feel the anointing when I sing and people can feel it too. Sometimes I dont feel the anointing so I either dont sing or I search out the will of God. In counseling people I really really feel anointed and I am anointed in that area. God shows me things about people when I’m talking to them and thank you Jesus I can help them! I love it because its his will and I see that he is using me to make a difference in peoples lives.
Something else…
I dont always feel full spiritually. Often times I’m like “Oh Jesus I dont feel that I’ve done anything at all today” and I think about it and realize my thoughts have been on him nearly all day, I prayed that day, I’ve spent hours in his word… but yet theres that emptyness that yearns for Him. I think he likes that, I dont think its a bad thing either because its not that “empty” emptyness! Its that peaceful stillness that completely calms your heart and mind… its like the difference between silences, If you were standing at the bottom of the grand canyon on by yourself it would be very silent but it you were standing at the highest place at the grand canyon all by yourself thats like a completely different silence!
All I see is walls at the bottom that are surrounding me and they seem so tall…
Sometimes I follow the path that I’m on and I end up at a dead end.
The silence is unbearable at times and I cry out to God but I only hear my voice echoing back at me
The silence at the bottom of the spiritual Grand Canyon is an empty emptyness.
But when I climb higher praise God I start to see things
I can see the paths that I’ve traveled and the ones to come
I can see where I took the wrong turn and the path I should have taken
but most of all I can see the vastness of God
I can look out over it all and just stand
The emptyness and the silence is still there
But its a different kind of silence
Its a differnt kind of emptyness!
How do you get from the bottom of the grand canyon to the top?
You climb.
Higher and higher in God!
Never giving up
Even when the path gets rough
and theres no footholds
when your holding on only with your hands
and it feels like your going to fall
and sometimes you do…
You get up
You reach up to that first hand hold and you take ahold of it
and climb!
Never being satisfied with the ledge of spiritualness that you are at…
Sure you might can look down and be like “wow I am higher than so many people” and be content to stay there but I dare you to look up even if it seems impossible to climb higher
CLIMB!
There are peaks you have never reached that are more glorious than you have ever experienced!
Right when you think you have gotten to the top you look up to realize the vastness of God
and how much higher that you can reach!
Dont ever stop climbing! Dont ever reach a ledge full of people high in the sky and be content to stay there with them! Dont ever think your better than the ones at the bottom either because at one time you were there to and you could fall just like them.
Psalm 27:8 (King James Version)
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
Psalm 27:8 (Amplified Bible)
You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word].
Psalm 27:8 (New Living Translation)
My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.”
