Checking into God's Presence...  "Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour". Titus 1:1-4 It is so true that we are not perfect, and yet we all desire perfection. We often tell lies, and we are very quick to condemn those who are untruthful in their ways. Unless we close our minds to all fleshy thoughts, our minds cannot be ready to receive any help from the Holy Spirit. Very clearly, there must be a willingness to support our level of faith in God's service with great strength shown through the story of our commitment when it comes to spiritual matters. We have to remember the admonition of Apostle Paul in Romans 13:11-14 which states- "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us, therefore, cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof". Awaken us, oh Lord, quicken our spirit to the wonders of Your salvation. Let the wonders of Your creation open up your work's reality in our lives and set us away from dealing with anything that fails to bear your emblem. Show us Your Might to the fullest, and through us and in accordance "to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began".  Therefore, and in the run-up to the end of the first month in the year 2021, we pray that You will pronounce these blessings upon us in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
