It's funny to me how many Christians I've met over the years who want to experience the anointing but don't want to pay the price. Paying the price is the only way things will happen in the spirit realm.
There have been times at worship and prayer gatherings or church meetings where many of us would gravitate to the altar to lay down or kneel just to be closer to the presence of God during sacred times of deep worship. The one in charge must have a sensitive Spirit to the awareness of Gods Holy cloud and presence and stop everything to give Him Holy reverence . This hunger for God is not as prevalent today as I once remembered. But In fact only being present at smaller gatherings in homes and smaller ministries as I too have done and still do for this very reason "Hunger for Gods presence" Meetings and services in most Churches are much to scheduled today to stop and "wait" upon the Lord and let Him minister to His people. Just when things get deeply anointed through the worship and prayer, immediately it's turned over to someone for weekly announcements and news rather than taking time to let God heal, convict, or just love on His people. I know this saddens and grieves the Lord and keeps those coming with heavy hearts leaving in the same condition.
These were times when the anointing was so strong that we didn't want to miss it by letting our feelings or pride dictate to us. Rather than loose this precious moment when the strong presence and power of Gods Holy Spirit was so overpowering we would run to the altar to be touched and just enter into the cloud of Holiness before it lifted away. The Holy Spirit has feelings and if no one responds He leaves in sadness. Also leaving many untouched by His Holy presence.
When the Lords presence is near to you "Run" to Him. Stop right where you are and fall to your knees instantly, and simply allow His presence flow out of Him and into you. He is waiting to see if you will act upon his call and hear His gentle voice speaking to your heart. God has something special He wants to reveal to you in these wonderful times of quiet and Holiness. So don't let these blessings of God pass you by. Becoming more and more sensitive as your heart is yielded more and more to His precious call. A scripture comes to mind in James 4:10 " Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord " and He will lift you up" "Higher and Higher" This speaks of a humbling and being lifted up spiritually to higher "Heavenly" places with "Our King"
There is another scripture Isiah 55: 6,7 it reads like this "Seek the Lord while He may be found "Call ye upon Him while He is near" it goes on to say "Let the wicked forsake his way, saith the Lord and the unrighteous man his thought; and let him return to the Lord and He will have mercy upon him. This "mercy" is a place when anything may happen "healing s, enlightenment, More wisdom on a matter, and much more.
The Key is "while He may be found" this would be the same as receiving a special "audience" with the king. In these special times I have received unbelievable peace and healing that is priceless to me.
** Special Keys to become closer to God.**
* My precious friends. make "daily special uninterrupted" times for the Lord.
*Be instant in season! Being obedient when He calls to you.
*As you spend more and more time with Him you will become sensitive to the Spiritual.
*He will then reward you in many unusual and diverse ways.
*Always "worship and Honor Jesus" He is the center of all.
* Deeper enlightenment and Divine direction through "Dreams and visions" are some of the many rewards as you seek and make "Jesus" first in your life!

The pencils and eraser of life
Do you remember using a plain old pencil? You probably did when you were in school . The nice thing about a pencil is that it allows you to make a mistake. In fact the erasers on all my pencils were worn out much faster than the pencil was in these early years. Children find out that life is not as forgiving as our erasers were. Upon entrance into the real world we find that a very cynical change takes place. We start experiencing that generally people aren't that ready to erase what you have done by saying it's o.k. "go ahead " and start over, like we were encouraged to do in school. Instead the people you may have accidentally wronged may even go after you. Like the common rising problems with the out of control anger people are displaying when driving in their cars commonly described today as "Road rage"
Thank God '"Yes thank you Lord" that you are all about forgiveness. Mathew 6:14 tells us if we forgive others the Lord will forgive us. Even on the torturous cross suffering a cruel slow death Jesus looks at the crowd who turned against Him and said to the Father "Father forgive them they know not what they do." and He continues speaking this message into all of our hearts today hoping we will receive His unconditional love through all our mistakes and wrong decisions we make while in this life.
Daily we too must put all our "upsets and anger" on the cross of Jesus asking Him to help us to forgive and pray for those in our daily lives that spitefully hurt or use us. We don't have a choice we "Must" do it. The cleansing peace that comes brings healing to our lives and bodies. Never allow anger and bitterness to take root inside wasting all our wonderful energy and vitality God has blessed us with.
The devil is behind all unforgiveness doing what he does best, keeping us from the love and peace that the Lord wants us to enjoy in Him. We must all remember to "quickly" forgive others so the Lord in His mercy will "forgive us" when we need to be forgiven for our many faults.
The next time you see or use a pencil just notice the eraser. I can guarantee you'll see it's well worn down. As it should be.The only way we learn in this life is through the mistakes we make. The beautiful "key" is to never stop "trying" or to stop "forgiving". You must learn to get back up dust yourself off and do the right thing by (forgiving others, or asking others to forgive you) and keep traveling Gods narrow road forward.
To be the best pencil and eraser we all must be guided and held by the hand that holds us. Let the Lord do this in "You." Using the erasers of life to be a "blessing" as we erase and keep going onward never looking back or by dwelling on our wrongs or others who have wronged us.
* Note, If you go to another to ask them for "sincere" forgiveness for something you've done and they will not forgive. It's because they probably need time to heal, and many time they have not been been walking with the Lord and are used to holding grudges. Continue on knowing that you've done your very best. (make sure you do.) then go on with your life with a repentant heart trying "with much prayer" and a humbled heart not to do the same things again. If you have done this with a pure heart you have received Gods forgiveness immediately the moment you prayed. It's good to simply continue pray for the other party so they will forgive and too receive Gods healing peace into their heart.
Prayer
Jesus I have been wrong and sinned by doing this wrong (name it) Your word tells me without heartfelt sorrow there is no forgiveness of sin. I do feel heartfelt sorrow and need your forgiveness desperately today. I also forgive those that have wronged me. Help me to forgive them. As I spend time in prayer help me to pray for them as you did to those who deserted and wronged you at the cross of Calvary.
I love you and thank you and worship you for your sacrifice made for me. Precious Jesus you have heard my prayer. I will always love you and want to become all you desire for me. Amen.
