Let Me Rediscover You


Psalm 27:4!

One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That I will seek after:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.

Try to VISUALIZE this prayer in your mind. SO POWERFUL, PEACEFUL, and OVERWHELMING!

"While we are to pray everywhere, it unquestionably means that we are not to frequent places where we cannot pray. To pray everywhere is to pray in all legitimate places, and to attend especially those places where prayer is welcome and given a gracious hospitality (not gambling halls, clubs, places where God is NOT welcomed!!!! etc). To pray everywhere is to preserve the spirit of prayer in places of business, in our dealings with men, and in the privacy of the home amid all of its domestic cares" (E.M. Bounds on Prayer, p. 363)

Powerful. Powerful.

Last Sabbath, I spent the time with friends watching "Roger Morneau's" video (interview) on his trip into the supernatural.

I remember watching both parts of that interview and feeling extremely upset that the devil has infiltrated our society so much and so deeply that it is nearly impossible to open the eyes of the mass and letting them see how far into the devil's trap that WE have fallen.

Yet in the midst of my anger, disappointment and temporary depression, I remembered that we served a MIGHTY GOD, and that despite our faults and our cracks, He won't let us GO (thought he wont force us to serve Him either).

I can't go too much into the video I watched, but here are ways he suggested that we keep our eyes on Christ, and flee from the devil.

1) Remove anything in your household that is NOT of God, for having ungodly possession is an open avenue for the devil. These would include: CDs, DVDs (no matter how good they are), foreign artifacts or materials that have some type of peculiar meanings, etc....

2) Read Matthew 27: 24-54 EVERY DAY.

3) MEMORIZE SCRIPTURES!!!!

4) Ask the Lord for His Holy Spirit to surround you.

5) Don't ask the Lord to "take away" your struggle/specific sin, ask Him that he REMOVES that desire from you, and the strength to endure as you're being refined.

6) Recognize that the battle is not yours. YOU CAN NOT FIGHT AN INVISIBLE BEING. I repeat, YOU can NOT fight an INVISIBLE being. You do not have the tools, BUT GOD DOES!!!

7) Pray. Pray. Pray!!!!

"Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God "The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong." E. M. Bounds

"The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong." E. M. Bounds

"You can do more than pray after you have prayed; but you can never do more than pray until you have prayed." A.J. Gordon
