God is
preparing a glorious mansion for you. In that
mansion, everything that God has prepared, (now catch this) on the other side,
is already found in abundance on this side - and you can miss it because of lack of
faith and unbelief.
Now, I
want to talk about this kind of prayer where you go into God’s presence - not
to get, but to get beyond your self.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self - God will show us how we have
managed to grossly exaggerate the significance of the insignificant.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self - Things that you once thought
was paramount to your being fulfilled and happy,
take on their true worth, inconsequential.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self - You aren’t after anything, but
you get what is not available to the one-minute prayer warrior.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self - You become speechless, vacant
and need-less.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self
- Your asking turns into awe
- Your petitioning turns into reverence
- Even your Praise becomes mute in the light of His presence.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self - Your circumstances become an
agreed place of testing. You agree with
God that going through your circumstances with His presence is better than being
free from your circumstances outside of His presence.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self - Your problems vanish like a
vapor. God turns
it all around and moments or hours later you don’t think the same as you did.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self - You come away ready to speak to
your situation with boldness, knowing that while the Shekinah glory is glowing
the words you speak have power and authority.
When you
go to God to get beyond your self - You walk away with faith made
in the heavens, faith that walks above the circumstance or situation or problem
- faith that puts things in God’s Light.
Faith
that starts to trust God through it all. And faith
that believes God for it all."
