The Spirit of Prophecy

The Holy Spirit dwells within our hearts and not in our heads. That's something I heard Kenneth E. Hagin preach over and over again many years ago.

And it's absolutely the truth.

Tonite as I lay on my bed, tired and downcast in my mind, I began to just pray in the Spirit. I prayed in tongues.

Then I felt a flow of words. It was as if I was beside myself listening to Him speak from my heart. My mind was tired and worn out, but there was a boldness in my spirit.

I heard these words eminate from my heart out from my mouth:
Let there be the shout of the King in this place.
Let there be His praises.
No weapon formed against me shall prosper.
The life of God in me swallows up all death.
The light of God in me shines through the darkness.

The One who parted the Red Sea,
And who caused quails to fall from the sky,
And manna to fall from Heaven,
The One who fed the children of Israel 40 years in the desert,
And who fed the multitudes with five loaves and two fishes,
Will He not take care of you oh precious one?

Jesus said that out of our innermost being shall flow forth rivers of living water. This spoke He of the Holy Spirit. One of those rivers is the gift of prophecy -- inspired utterence in a known tongue.

It is the voice of the Holy Spirit. It is the shout of the king! The voice of the Lion of Judah.

Tonight I realized where the strength of my life is. He's Jesus and He lives in my heart.

When your own strength is gone, realize that you're not alone. For He who gave His life for you calls you His own.

I can still feel the fire of the Spirit burning in my heart as I write these words. I guess this is how the disciples felt on the road to Emmaus when they said, 'Did our hearts not burn within us, while He talked with us. . .'

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:32

I just realized something only now. I actually felt led to sing 'Burn it Deep' earlier before all this. . .

BURN IT DEEP
============
Burn it deep
Within my soul
New strength and fire O Lord
Burn it deep
Within my soul
New zeal and fire O Lord
Burn it deep
Within my soul
New strength and fire
It makes me whole
Burn it deep
Deep within my soul

Oh my.

This is one supernatural nite. Indeed, we are never alone in our lives.

Thank God for Jesus. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. Thank God for the Spirit of Prophecy.
