Dig a Deep Well

We don't have to live powerless lives. We can dig a deep well and draw directly from God.

Our Father is always waiting for us in the secret place.

It's time to open our hearts to Him, dig deep and draw close.

When we do, God's life will flow in and through us.

We can live extraordinary lives powered by intimacy with the Father.

• What are your priorities?
  
• How do you spend your time?
  
• Where does time with God come on your list of things to do?

Matt Sorger tells us that,

"True spiritual power can only flow out of a daily lifestyle of abiding in and walking with God. Fruitful ministry is not produced by mere activity alone; it must be birthed out of prayer and hidden devotion."

I don't know about you but I want more than momentary touches from God. I want to carry His presence wherever I go. I want it to become a part of who I am.

The more time I spend in God's presence, the more time I want to spend being aware that He's there. I'm hungry for more.

Lord keep us from settling for mediocre lives. Keep us from settling for less than your best.

Practical steps to digging a deep well

• Decide what your priorities are. Your priorities will determine how you spend your time. Are you ready to make time in God's presence a priority in your life?
• Ask God to increase your hunger for awareness of His presence.
• Deal with areas of compromise and sin that might be separating you from him.
• Schedule time each day to wait in His presence. stop making excuses and choose to spend time in the secret place with God.
• Spend time meditating on His word.
• Invite the Holy Spirit into your life each day. Ask Him to fill you and lead you into all truth.
• Pray in the Spirit as often as you remember. Continually pray in tongues, it will build you up and do you good.
• Make worship a lifestyle habit. Fill your home and car with worship music. This sets an atmosphere for awareness of His presence and will lift your spirit in worship throughout the day.
• Keep yourself from being contaminated. Guard your eyes and ears from anything that would sully your mind and spirit.

I hope you'll join me in pressing in to God and developing greater intimacy with our Father. Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

We can walk with God and share His thoughts.

We can live in the reality of His presence every day.

I'd like to have the same problem that Brother Lawrence did. The continuous presence of God in His life filled him with such peace and joy that He saw God's glory in every area of His life. He said,

"his soul had been filled with joy and delight so continual, and sometimes so great, that he was forced to find ways to hide their appearing outwardly to others who may not understand."

Yes please Lord!
