There is a time and a season for every thing "Ecclesiastes 3:1"
Have you ever found yourself Slipping into what some call a funk, a fog, or an unexplainable emptiness that removes your joy and peace replaces it with a slow invasion of depression and darkness. Some have even described it as falling down a slippery slope This can be nothing but a "Hellish" season or experience in your life unless God intervenes.
This deceptive season of overwhelming change will take you down a road of deception and disaster if your not on your toes spiritually .
I spoke to a man this weekend at a "Special gathering" He took time to share share with me about a rather bleak time in his christian walk. Describing this period of time like a dark pit. I thought about this and replied," all of us can go through a season of time as he described". I too have fallen prey into this "foreboding" place myself without realizing till I was fully immersed and in spiritual trouble. My escape only coming as I entered into depths of prayer once again to be found and comforted by the Lord. as the word tells us. ( More depths on this subject and helps in upcoming messages) .
"Call upon the lord while He may be found , Seek Him and you shall "find" Him, When you seek Him with your whole heart He shall be found of you. And there are many more rich and encouraging scriptures on the subject as you do a word search.
I have spent days and many hours broken and undone while going through these seasons of repentance finding my way back to the heart of my sweet Lords wonderful "delivering" presence. For I was the one who moved away from this warm peaceful place not ever for one instance was it the Lords presence that moved away from me.
Jesus promises never to leave us or forsake us and His Holy Spirit is with us continually to lead us out of this kind of darkness as we pray and trust in Him. I had failed to cast all my care upon Him "completely" in these times of great pain as the word of God admonishes us to do.
We can all become too busy or overwhelmed by the cares of this life from time to time that is why good christian fellowship and prayer is so important. Can you recall a season of tribulation in your life?
Allowing yourself to get too caught up in the worlds affairs through work, others problems, finances, sickness etc. etc. But we must remember we are "In this world" but "not of this world"! If you are one who has walking a devoted life through what the word of God describes as a "Walk of Holiness" then you must watch your steps to see if they are ordered of the Lord. "or not"! Remember the enemy of your soul watches very diligently as a lion pouncing quickly to "kill and destroy".
What are you doing? and where are you going? Are you on a path well "lit" with the lamp of the Lords loving presence? Many things can be avoided if we have spiritually discerned what was transpiring against our life from the pit of hell. Forgiveness is one great "Stronghold" Walking in Love is vital!
Below are some Guidelines of helps:
* Others may or may not be walking with the Lord as you are so we must never become so lax and comfortable that you start becoming like those in the world that surrounds your life.. Be careful of who you associate with. We can be a better friend if we pray for them instead of listening to hours of negative problems they have. They will respect and love you more when you make a habit of praying with them. Remembering always that others may "but YOU may NOT! That is if you are truly desiring to become one of the Lords chosen ones.
For many are called but "few are chosen" We are all chosen of God but we all aren't willing to pay the price as the disciples did. They had a choice and chose to lay down their life for Christ.
*Guard yourself at all times from negativism, problem bearers, also ungodly atmosphere. Pray in the Spirit when you must go through a battlefield like this. There are always spiritual bullets from the devil aimed to kill and destroy unless you are a mature warrior for God. If you stay too long in places where Gods presence is void you may be ushered into a darkened trap right from the pit of hell.
*Keep the presence of God alive and flourishing in your life by "daily bible reading" with "times of prayer" and fellow shipping with others of like kind actively involved in the Lord.
* Do get familiar with the word of God through memorization of His scripture promises to you. Letting His word become the bread of life nourishing and feeding you daily.
* The word of God is our training manual for life. You are in training for reigning in "Heaven". Your battles here on earth will strengthen you as you go to the Lord often to yield your heart meditate and prayer over the situation your facing. He will never leave you He will make a way for you where there seems to be no way.
* Stay focused the word of God will never return void it will go forth and accomplish all it says it will do. Because the Bible tells us God is not a man that He would lie.
* Always remember this "from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks "the word of God" "your mouth will speak" so fill yourself up with Gods precious words of life as it flows out unto others also causing you also to be enlightened and renewed.
* You will arise and shine for His Glory light will shine upon you as His words abundantly flow out of your heart and mouth to yourself and others.
* And finally my friends all the darkness will flee away from "Your Life" As you are lifted up into new realms of His Glory! The word of God tells us we move from glory to glory!
* If these general methods aren't working "Please" seek help from a Christian counselor and minister. In some cases there needs to be deeper level of help and deliverance for your total freedom to be secured. Some without realizing have become involved with darkness through the occult or a fearful trauma that the enemy has used to keep you captive. Remember Jesus came to set the captive free!
Ask Jesus into your life today by simply saying this simple prayer meaning it with all your heart.
Jesus I am deeply sorry an repent for all my sins.
Please come into my heart and live removing all things that are not of you..
I will read your word daily and spend time in your presence " ( tell Jesus everything)
Help me find a good "Spirit filled" Bible teaching church and bring into my life people sincerely in love with you that I may learn and grow and fellowship with others with a heart for God.
Amen

"Holy Spirit" "Anointing in You"
Luke 4:18 Jesus was anointed to preach the Gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, preach deliverance to the captives, bring sight to the blind and set at liberty those that are bruised.
If Jesus, the Son of God needed the anointing to minister and deliver people out of captivity of sin and of satins clutches, then in these last days "We" need this anointing to help us more than ever.
Acts 10:38 We read and see how God anointed Jesus with the "Holy Ghost" and with "Power" who went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for "God" was with Him.
It is the anointing of the "Holy Ghost" that made Jesus "Effective" and full of the "Power of God"
Not appearance, education, talents or inner circles of important people.
God has given us this "Anointing" of the "Holy Spirit" As we become "Born Again" believers that each of us may be tought , led and empowered for "His" work by "His" Spirit. You may be a teacher, a pastor, a prophet, or an apostle. You may even be a mother or homemaker, student, salesperson, it makes no difference. We are "all" vessels for "His" use to bless and draw others to "Himself" He wants to use each gift each calling to this end; To "Minister" His love to a "lost and dying humanity"
"Selah" Pause take time and think about this for many are still into works. Many of today's "churches"are still encouraging people into this pathway for it appeases the Fleshly"desires of "works" rather than ushering people into the "Spirit" which draws us to desire with our whole heart to hear for ourselves from our living God each day. Works are needed to help one another but never to be the continual focus. For instance a mission trip is a great blessing to others but if it becomes all works we have then missed the greatest blessing of all reaching the lost for Christ! Working is wonderful and needed but then there must be a time for prayer and ministry to those in need this is also where the gifts of "Healing and Salvation" bring forth the life of Christ! Everyone should be doing this not just some special picked. Jesus was reaching out to the lost and needy and teaching wherever He went.
We must continually be moving from the "Outer Courts" into the "Inner Courts" where the Holy Spirit of God will speak into our hearts "His" deepest secrets and plans for us daily. This is why Jesus died. It was to save the lost through forgiving us of our sins and draw us to "Our Loving Father in Heaven" At our last breath coming home to live for all eternity in a place He has prepared for us in "Heaven" where all who love God will "Live Forever" Loved and rewarded for their faithfulness to "Him" while still here on this earth.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and you need not that any man teach you. But as the same anointing teaches you all things, and is "truth" and is no lie, even it hath tought you, "Ye shall abide in Him"
The Lord spoke this to me many years ago and I learned to lean on the holy Spirit for everything I had need of in my life and for my loved ones. As the years went by I received so much more than any school could have instructed me. I have always trusted "Him" to teach and use me as I walked in "obedience" to the "Holy Spirit". Many haven't understood or known the price I have paid. but want what I had without paying the spiritual price for the "The Anointing"
NO SCHOOL CAN GIVE THIS TO YOU "ONLY TIME SPENT WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT IN PRAYER AND COMMUNION"! PRAISE GOD!!
We are living in a day of "Change" Gods special army who have decided to live for "Jesus" are "Arising" This special army, these new "Hungry for God" people who "Desire" to arise in the image and likeness of "Jesus" the Son of God. This is a new generation of people who are tired of the "Same old" " Same ole" Social Religion of this day and will do all that God puts on their hearts to do. They are Infiltrating their arenas of life with the impacting truths of why "Jesus" gave His life for them.
"You" are the people God has called! Are "You" willing to pay the price so others will have "Freedom from drugs, alcohol,shameless sin, to live in Christ Jesus and be set free from satins dark pits of Hell and eternal suffering. This "Army" these "Hungry" people will pay the price to "do and be" whatever "God" calls upon them to do for "His Glory" to reach the "Lost" I pray that you are one of those that will say "Yes! to Jesus!.
A great "Change"is taking place all over the world. There has been more of Heavenly Angelic activity charged to their assignments on this earth as never before . There is more excitement in heaven about what is about to take place on this earth and "you and I " will play a huge part in it.
These "Angelic" beings are going forth as never before with the "keys" from The Lord to " Open Heavens in our lives" "Gods favor" "Signs and Unusual wonders" "Appearances of Jesus" to the lost in far off country's.
I could go on and on. I too have experienced these Angelic visitors in my life at many different times " and I dearly appreciate this "Special favor"and "Love" shown to me in times of need. But my question to "you" today is are you "Hungry"enough for your GOD to walk in Jesus footsteps with all your heart. Are you "Hungry"enough to be part of this end time army?
Are "you" desiring more of GOD?
Are you willing to be "His" hand extended when others are in need of the "Holy Spirit" anointing.
Are you willing to pay the price no matter what the cost?
Are you ready to say "Lord" fill me up to overflowing with your "Oil" daily!
Are you willing to spend more time in "His" presence daily.
Are you wiling to be "in the world but not of it" to be Gods light to those who are still living in carnality and sin.
Are you willing to say as little Samuel in the ancient days of old "Here I am Lord "Use Me "!
to be willing "with the help" of "His Holy Spirit"
If "You"are one of these "Radical and Hungry Ones" God will "see" your heart and begin "His" work in you daily by bringing those in "Need" right in your path with just the right words the Holy Spirit.
If you have said "Yes" "Receive" what God wants to do in you by asking seeking and knocking!
Place yourself in Gods sight through intercessions and prayer, morning noon and night starting a little at a time. (King David was the Apple of Gods eye) because of his dedicated devotion to the Lord.
So if you are 'Hungry" enough for "More"of "Him" You Too will be filled!!
Are you ready for "New Oil" and a "New Anointing" to overflow into your life?
If this is your deepest desire you can say this Prayer with me today.
Dear Lord Jesus
I come to the Father in your name "the Name Above All Names"
Forgive Me of all the sin of laid back Christianity of our day.
"Jesus" Cleanse my life through your precious blood of Calvary. Let your Bible be my daily manual that I may follow in your footsteps.
Let the New Testament become real to me as I read of all your compassionate love for men , women , and children in need.
I pray "Signs Wonders" and "Miracles" will become a reality as I read, pray and devote my heart to your will in my life and to others you place in my path..
Take my hand and show me your loving ways that I may do as you have done and still do today.
I am "Hungry" for more of your "Holy Spirit"
Fill my life to overflowing " I Hunger for more" of "YOU"
Now fill me with "New Oil" that others may be reached by your "Anointing" in me.
I will Honor and praise you all the days of my life!
Amen
A Great Big God Bless you "All" out there reading and learning. Please know I am praying for "YOU" as you receive your "Holy Spirit Anointing" We give you all the "Glory" Jesus!
