Let God Know You are in the Room - Devotional October 9, 2015

24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 New Living Translation (NLT)

 Have you ever tried talking to someone who was not in the room with you?

Did you get an answer?

Well God is the same way, He’s always present and He is always watching and listening. He is often talking to us but we are not in the same room with Him.

You see it takes us having an awareness of Him. He won’t force Himself on anyone. Oh He’s God and He can do whatever He wants. The old saying you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink…that’s true…but you can salt his oats.

Sometimes, God just salts our oats, so to speak!

God is a Spirit and He is Truth; therefore, we must worship him in spirit and truth! Our carnal mind is enmity with Him. In other words our flesh cannot worship in the spirit God! It gets in the way! It keeps us out of the room where God is.

So…

We have to put our flesh, our minds, and our carnality aside. All it takes is faith. Putting down our flesh, asking God to wash our hearts and minds and cleanse us so that we can go into the Holies of Holies where God dwells. In Jesus name!

With a pure heart; a clean heart; talk to our Papa God and let the Holy Spirit show you who He is! Come before Him with praises and thanksgiving…love on God like you would a loving, caring parent! Simply love on Him!

Maybe you've never experienced the love of a parent…maybe you've never experienced the presence of God. You can, if you will open up your heart.

Try it you’ll be amazed at the conversations you will encounter!

“How?” you ask…

It’s not a mystical or far off place, you can be with him in a heartbeat…you simply open your heart and talk to Him. But do it with a loving, affectionate attitude, you will come away blessed!

It is the best…there is no better place to be than with Him. After you experience His presence you will never want to leave.

Do it…but do it in spirit and in truth! Be honest with Him.

It’s just a simple heart to heart talk with the best friend you’ll ever have. He longs for you to come! You may only have a few moments in your busy day…but it will be the best part of your day, if you’ll make the effort!

God bless you and remember…He’s waiting for you! He loves you so much!

Papa, papa God, in the name of my precious savior Jesus, let us come before you right now and embrace your love. Let all stress and doubt and fear vanish as we sit before you in total surrender and worship you in the spirit and in truth. By faith I sit in your lap and lay my head upon your breast and I breathe you in. Your fragrance is like honey and freshness in a wintery forest. Your presence is like a cozy blanket of perfect peace and rest comforting to my soul. Thank you Jesus. Thank you. I love you my Lord.

"I love you too my child."
