Prayers that Bring Healing
As I was reading "Prayers That Bring Healing: Overcome Sickness, Pain, and Disease. God's Healing is for You! (Prayers for Spiritual Battle)" by I came across a line which read"Where His presence and glory dwell no sin or sickness can coexist"The Holy Spirit was leading me to study healing. The above line opened my eyes to see that His presence was a pre requisite to healing. In turn this lead me to ask "What is your presence Lord?" The following writings document my journey to His presence. As I'm writing the Holy Spirit is reminding of when I got saved. I'd read the scriptures night and day unending. Holy Spirit revealed truth of Jesus Christ so profound. Intimacy has nothing to do with the crowd, but with God and I alone. My surroundings may never hear, but God hears and sees in this quiet place. I still have the desire to preach. After 17 years of being saved, the Lord allowed me to be satisfied with the better part. Thank you Holy Spirit Amen.
