Power in His Name
Do you feel like you're missing something? When you go into your prayer closet, in the quiet place you've set aside to worship God, or just in your daily life, do you lack power? Do you feel empty? If you want to experience the manifested power of God in your prayer time, try learning His names. There is power in telling God who He is. When you begin your worship time, repent of everything you can think of, forgive those who have hurt you (verbally), then start thanking God for His goodness and mercy in your life, after that begin to tell the Lord who He is, by name.
If you still can't seem to get into His manifested presence ask the Holy Spirit to lead you. Sometimes, for whatever reason I have a hard time "getting in", on those days I whisper a little prayer, "Holy Spirit lead me into my Fathers presence." And He always does! If we get into a routine way of entering in, God may change it up a little bit, to keep us refreshed. One of the keys to experiencing His presence is silence, more listening less speaking. We can't fool God with our many words, He sees us just the way we really are. That shouldn't be scary, but freeing. It releases us to be listeners, because we know that God already knows the intimate details of our heart and situations we face. I believe God wants honesty of heart. When we pray lets search our hearts and speak from a sincere place. Honesty of heart opens the door for His presence as well.
Many times we rush, and pray these very light quick prayers, because we want something from God, not because we want to spend time with Him. Don't get me wrong I whisper short little prayers all day, that's awesome, but we cannot forget to set time aside to dig deeper. Sometimes we have to turn the radio off when we're driving, shut off the television, or get off the computer and go to our prayer closet and press in. We are changed in His presence.
Also make sure you are baptized in the Holy Spirit. Praying in tongues (praying in the Spirit) is an amazing tool. Often time in prayer you may feel led to start praying in the Holy Spirit, which will lead you into praying for someone or something. It’s important to follow the Holy Spirits lead, and allow Him to guide our personal prayer and worship time. (We may be the only ones who will ever pray for a certain person or situation. That’s a huge responsibility. Our prayers release God to move.)
There is much I could say on experiencing God’s presence in our personal time, but I want to get back to the main focus of this blog, which is God’s name.
Remember take it slow, be a listener and follow the little nudges of the Holy Spirit. He will meet you where you are. He wants you to enter in, more than you want to.
Feel free to contact me, if you have any questions or want to talk more about this.
God bless you and may you experience the manifested presence of God.
