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!
