Ready for More What?

Lord, thank you for your insight. I realize that I can offer nothing to this relationship but my acceptance of your will and love. I pray that you would use my life to express your love to others. I pray that you would use me; I pray that you would make me holy. I understand that does not mean that my life will be easy. I realize that being holy is something that means that I will do things that are against my natural sinful nature. Read the rest of this entry »

A Problem

Lord, I am here. I am listening. I open my heart to receive your insight and direction. What would you like to focus on today?

…

Is there something about my character that you would like to shine a light on?

Your drinking is a problem Michael. Read the rest of this entry »

Ready for More

Lord, I’m here. I invite your instruction, your insight, your command.

You’re distracted.

Yes. I’m in a noisy place. Can we still talk?

Yes. You just won’t get as far with it. How you were praying and recording last night was optimal.

I understand. Should I use this time another way?

It’s up to you.

Whose Words Are They?

I think it’s interesting that when we speak together, I end up using words that I don’t even really know whether thay are the ‘right’ words, but I use them anyway, only to find out that they were in fact the ‘perfect’ words to use.

I can speak through you, Michael. As you have found, I use a tone and style that is natural to you. I did the same with the Bible. Don’t get me wrong, this is not at all comparable to the Bible, but you are connecting to my voice, my word, my spirit. And you are expressing it in ways that feel natural to you.

Line of Communication

Lord, I’m here. I long to hear your voice. Please speak to me. I praise you, Lord. I praise you for your holiness, your perfect nature. I praise you for your unlimited power. I praise you for loving me. I pray that you would speak to me Lord. Please be here with me, right now. What can I do for you Lord?

You can start by turning off your distractions.

Done.

You know that I speak softly from within. The reason for that is that you need to be intent on listening. You have developed the ability to be receptive to me, which is a huge deal. Not many people can or are willing to do that.

Foiled

Well.. today I received a computer game that I bought from Amazon – StarCraft 2. When I bought it, I thought it would be fun to play the new version of the game that I used to play as a teen. When I installed it, it told me that I had an outdated version of the video card driver. So I downloaded the driver and tried to install it. As it was installing, it appeared to be ‘stuck’.. it just wasn’t progressing for a long time, so I cancelled it. When I tried to run the installer again, my screen went completely black. During a few minutes of waiting, I ‘heard’: Read the rest of this entry »

Choice

Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Father. Thank you for the opportunity to know you, and love you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for your perfect plan for my life, and thank you for forgiving me for thwarting it.

It’s all part of the process of becoming one with me. Your free will allows this.

Making time

Lord, is there anything you want to say to me?

There is so much I want to share. How much time do you have?

I have all day for you.

No you don’t.

I wish I did. What can you share in 10 minutes?

Drowning
