The Confirmation of the Holy Spirit

A few weeks back I felt challenged by the Holy Spirit to spend more time alone with God. So, I have purposed that my a.m. time with HIM is a priority...and yet yesterday HE challenged me again, HE wants even more of my time and priorities. It is because the need to minsiter out of the overflow of the Spirit is so vital to life in the Spirit. I choose to live an abundant life in the here and now, to see my circle of influence deeply impacted by the annointing of God. Holy Spirit rub in the oil of annointing, so that it is so deeply ingrained in me that the cares of everyday life will not wear it off or dilute it down. One of my favorite preachers in the whole world preached this rubbed in annointing to a group of believers who are in the process of seeing what God put in his pastor's heart years ago. Thank you God for a faithful shepherd who so freely shared the richness of your annointing. May the Willamette Valley be forever changed by a pastor's willingness to fly into the head winds. We, his family, declare sight for this man of God...so that he might read the beloved word of God. He is a man who loves your word oh God, extend the brightness of your light in his natural eyes and may complete restoration take place. We bless you and say YOU, and YOU alone oh God do all things well. We trust in you and your unfailing love for us.
