'not to wait until next year to start them.'
'what have you started doing?'
'i am praying more.'
'you do that enough.'
'no. i am asking God specifically if i have any unforgiveness in my heart on a daily/regular basis. i do not like when Holy Spirit brings up long list. i rather just talk to God about it on a regular basis so i can be more aware of my behavior. i do not want my behavior to block blessings God has for me.'
'okay that makes sense.'
i think we discriminate with our prayer life. i want to talk to God about everything. i can remember when i was young and i would ask God to let me experience all of Isaiah 9.6 more specifically the Holy Counselor. I even read Holy Spirit's bio in John 14 to 16 so I could fully understand how operative Holy Spirit can be in my life.
in church today, the text was Isaiah 43.15-19 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King." Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick: "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Holy Spirit whispered in my ear, I am doing a new thing. I bowed my head and my heart and whispered back, Okay Lord.
has the Holy One won your heart? Listen to the words of the song and submit to God's will, to do a new thing in your life.
