Sitting
For as the rain cometh down and the snow from the heaven, and retuneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. Isaiah 55:10, KJV
I sat with the Holy Spirit this morning. He was extremely quiet and I found my mind wondering all over the place. I finally said, “Holy Spirit, my mind is going all over the place. What should I be doing? Do you want me to read the Bible or listen to some music because I cannot hear you.”
He said these words to me: “When you sit quietly, I am strengthening your roots. They are growing deeper. When you sit here, your roots are being watered.” He reminded me of this scripture: For as the rain cometh down and the snow from the heaven, and retuneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater (Isaiah 55:10, KJV).
When we sit quietly in God’s presence we have entered into the Holy of Holies. We are sitting in the third heaven with Him. Our spirit has moved to the supernatural and change is taking place on the inside of us. I said to the Holy Spirit, “There are times I just want to come to you and sit and give you praise without requesting anything.” He was pleased with my request, but told me it is impossible for me not to receive anything because every time we are with Him we get all that He is!
I said, “Well, what about when my mind sometimes runs all over the place?” He reminded me that Satan is always trying to distract us from Him, but it is also a reminder to us that we are in the right place doing the right thing. Warfare always comes when we are where God wants us to be. He reminded me that I was in the perfect place to lay everything that comes to my mind on the altar! I remember hearing a pastor say, “Satan only comes when you have something for him to steal.” I encourage you to take some time to just sit with God. Let your roots go deep so that you can bring forth much fruit for the kingdom! Amen
