Holy Hush

by Pastor Marie

Sing His Praises and Stand in Silent Communion.

The quiet, descending, ascending, all-enveloping, all-encompassing peace that covers my soul in the time when His holy Presence fills the room, blanketing me with a holy hush. 

     When The Holy Spirit enters my dwelling, and my eternal, internal dwelling as well as the room I am in, with His calming Presence, GRACE UPON GRACE.  He touches my soul, heals my body, fills my spirit, and continues filling me with the all-encompassing love that is His very nature. There is nothing quite like it.

I found unspeakable joy

My heart slows, and my breath stills, as His very sacred breath falls in rhythm with mine, calming my heart, assuring me that keeping me safe is His priority, with reassuring murmurs of His cascading waves of glory- He stills my soul. 

I recall four specific times recently when I experienced His Holy Hush entering my circumstances.

When I was in the operating room having my eye fixed, He met me right there and enveloped me in His grace to remain still.

My husband opened the door to our room with a beautifully displayed, absolutely delicious lunch he had prepared for me. It was such a gift of love. I thanked God;

after lying in bed for two days and nights on my back with my chin elevated. I was able to lay on my side: finished. God came into my room and enfolded me into His arms, and I was totally immersed in His ever-present loving embrace. Cocooned in Him.

I looked out the front door and saw all the buds on the trees and the shoots from the bulbs I had planted springing up with the promise of beautiful flowers.

He met me in all those moments right where I was. I worshiped, so grateful. They were life-changing moments.

TO YOU belongs silence (the submissive wonder of reverence which bursts forth into praise), and praise is due and fitting to You, O God, in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed. Psalm 65:1
In the kingdom of grace (v. 1), 
hearing prayer (v. 2)
pardoning sin (v. 3) 
satisfying our souls as a people (v. 4), 
protecting and supporting us (v. 5) 
In the kingdom of the earth 
fixing the mountains (v. 6) 
calming the sea (v. 7) 
preserving the regular succession of day and night (v. 8) 
making the earth fruitful (v. 9-13).

Sing His Praises and Stand in Silence: bowing in humble gratitude and awe: we bow down low hearing the holy HUSH. Listening to the eternal involves a silence within us. Communion and contentment.

There’s a Place – Leonard Jones
There’s a Place, In my heart,
Where I worship, where I praise 
Lord, it’s only for You 
There’s a Room, pure and white 
and you know it’s holy, holy,
Lord, it’s only for You.
There’s a Hope, in my heart, 
no one else gives, no one has, 
it comes only from You
There’s a song that I sing, 
No one else knows, no one hears, 
Lord, it’s only for You.

Holy Spirit’s Communion

Invitations to Life

Holy Spirit’s Communion

by Pastor Marie

God’ s ultimate desire is to have constant communion with us – It is His love’s motivation- His heart.

We need to  yield to His communion mood when He calls us to Himself.

John 15

Like a diamond, God is multifaceted and the Holy Spirit wants to reveal the nature of God to us through communion. 

Prayer is communion with the Holy Spirit. There are different forms of prayer.

Petition – asking God for what we need. Philippians 4:6-7 : “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Thanksgiving – A way to enter into the Presence of God. Ps 100: Enter into His gates with thanksgiving. We are grateful for what He has done.

I Thes 5:18- “ In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”    17: pray without ceasing.”

 Supplication – the humble and earnest cry that comes from the deep desire of the spirit and soul.  Acts 1:14- “ these all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication…”   “ I exhort, therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers and intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in godliness and honesty.” I Tim 2:1-2

 Intercession –  standing in the gap for someone else. All three members of the Godhead intercede for us and through us to fulfill the eternal plan and purpose of God for our lives, which is to be transformed into His image.    Jesus ever lives to make intercession for us. Heb 7:25 

 Romans 8:26  “And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words. 27 God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.”

Praise  – literally raving about His goodness and greatness. Ps 100:4 

Worship  – true worship happens when we have experienced a divine encounter with the living God. shachah- bow down, crouch, beseech humbly.  proskuneo – Kiss toward= expressing deep devotion and love in response to the manifest Presence of God; bringing us into the right relationship with Him.

John 4:23

Come into agreement with His Values – 

His Manifested Presence comes – 

When we are in Right relationship  –

Divine love is received 

Worship -changes the picture because we see Him and look through His LENS at situations and our lives. We see The Throne in our midst 

Worship places us on the offensive 

Worship represents the voice of the Lord in our midst 

Worship enables us to rightly divide the Word of truth 

The Holy Spirit can show us how to defeat our enemies, how to continue to walk in peace with His perspective in mind and heart.

John 10:10

Rms 5:17- reign in life through One Jesus Christ in communion with the Holy Spirit.

“For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God’s overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, Jesus Christ.”

Forsaking Pride – 8-Mar-2021

Holy Spirit’s Moods

Forsaking Pride

by Pastor Roy

  • God saves us in order to transform us!
  • Transformation requires change = UNCOMFORTABLE.
  • Growing in God = becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable
  • Faith, Trust, and HUMILITY needed to move forward.
  • James 4:8 – As we acknowledge our sin, ask for forgiveness and turn from self-focus, we will “draw near to God.”
  • Only God has the power for transformation and holds our destiny in His hands.
  • Jeremiah 29:11
  • Humility is the key to enhanced SEEING.
  • God is not looking for talented or intellectual people – but for people who are YIELDED.
  • Matthew 11:25  “Learn of Me…”
  • We learn by LISTENING.  Stop TALKING, yield, “wake up!”
  • 1 Peter 5:5 “God gives grace to the HUMBLE…”
  • It is actually the proud who RESIST God’s grace because they do not ask for it. 
  • SIN is not overcome by Church rules of behavior nor through purging the sinner.
  • 1 Peter 4:8 – “Love COVERS a multitude of sin.”
  • 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 “Love’s” method  – “Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in TRUTH – it always trusts, always hopes.”
  • Love considers UNTRUTH – Evil.
  • Remember: Jesus did not condemn sinners – he condemned HYPOCRITES.
  • Hypocrite – one who excuses his own sin while condemning the sins of others
  • Many times, a hypocrite does not discern his hypocrisy – he is not AWAKE enough to do so, and the corruption in his own heart is never confronted.
  • Not seeking mercy or grace, he receives NONE and therefore has none to offer others.
  • Since he is always under God’s judgment – judging is all he can offer others.
  • Confronting personal sin takes HUMILITY.
  • James 4:6 – God’s grace is drawn to the humble
  • Humility is the sub-structure of transformation.  It is the essence of ALL virtues.
  • All people at some point in life will be confronted with the impurities of their hearts.
  • Our response will determine our direction forward.
  • It is at these crossroads of life that both holy men and hypocrites are bred.
  • Mattew 24:14 – “Many are called…”
  • Sanctification starts not with rules but with forsaking PRIDE.
  • Purity begins with a determined refusal to hide from the condition of our hearts.
