A favorite song of mine from Misty Edwards. She is a prophetic worship leader at the IHOP (intl house of prayer) of KC.<br /><br />Having the Word and the HOLY SPIRIT come together brings forth LIFE when spending time in the Word and in HIS Presence oh my!! Words can't even describe ~ Joy falls flat, refreshing isn't even enough but to say the more we are filled the more we desire HIM and all that HE pours out, into, or in us just leaves us wanting more.....that is why nothing satisfies truly but HIM ~<br /><br />May we remain "face down and heart up" all the days of our lives!<br /><br />love you my friend! How is LOIS doing? and Jimbo? <br />Did you read my note about JD I think it was my thankful thurs post?

Even then, when I do take time to be a student/friend/disciple of Jesus, I find myself wanting more. Less distractions, more of Jesus.<br /><br />We walk the road together.

Your post is wonderful, Beth. <br /><br />I just love the phrase: "When we get face down and heart up,...." I am writing that in my journal for future pondering. <br /><br />And this Scripture: “For I”, says the Lord, “will be a wall of fire all around her and I will be the glory in her midst”. (Zechariah 2:5)<br /><br />I am reminded of the California fires recently and how the firefighters set back-fires in order to keep the current one form spreading that way...around a perimeter. That is like the wall God builds to protect us. And when we are in the midst of a fiery trial, God is in there with us in all His Glory. <br /><br />Thank you for being open to the teaching of the Holy Spirit, Beth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271233348676627606.post-89284525508130395762009-09-14T21:08:24.036-05:002009-09-14T21:08:24.036-05:00What a great post, Beth!
