The Lord last night helped me with seven ways to saty in the presence of the lord especially while your busy out and about or traveling. These are for times when you arenot in a prayer time but you are out in the world doing whatever it is you are doing:
1) Soften your heart to the Lord: This means to acknowledge the presence of the Holy Spirit in you, to acknowledge Gods love for you and to simply soften your heart to His love and His will. (This is the hardest one to explain)
2)Say the name of Jesus:
As you are walking along or doing whatever you are doing to simple say the name of Jesus in a loving way. This is a tender and intimate way to inite the lordinto your situation and it also brings Him closer. Jesus...just whisper it under your breath with all the love in your heart.
3)Speak in tongues:
you dont have to do this out loud but as a whisper in such a way your lips may scarcly even move. You will feel your Spirit move in you as you speak mysteries to God and build up your Spirit man.
4)Talk to Jesus:
Just simply talk to Him in your thoughts. Talk to Him about people you pass or places, pray prayers or simply talk about the weather. God is a God of relationship.
5)Give feelings,emotions, desires to Jesus:
What I am speaking about here is keeping watch over your desires, your affections, what you covet and what your emotions are doing...etc. This is the practice of giving all things to the Lord i.e. I am feeling angry so i say in my mind(in faith) "Jesus I give you this anger" or Jesus Im feeling pulled toward materialism "Jesus I give you those desires etc...etc...etc...
6)Pray:
More specifically to talking and praying in No:4 this is the practice of noticing when someone pops into your mind. Like say your walking along and you suddenly start to think of someone, it is my theory that it is the Hly Spirit many times prompting us to pray for them. So next time someone comes to mind say a prayer for them and if you feel to pray something specific for them..do it.
7) Focusing your energy and love outward:
This is simply taking your mind off yourself and making a conscious effort to serve and love those around you, if we can train properly (by Gods help) our eyes to see the need, and our mind to get off ouselves we can serve those around us and simply allow God to love them through us.
Anyways i thought I would share these things God has blessed me with and I am being tought By Jesus. Please remember all these things are not carnal but spiritual in natur so they have a depth to them that cannot be understood without personal revelation by the Spirit of God. So start to pray for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the Know;edge of Him.
And remember when the devil tries to pollute your mind you tell Him that the bible sais that we have the mind of Christ, so that means he has no authority in it you can tell Him to leave and take his bad thoughts with Him.
May God bless you
Love in Christ
