Session 16 – Desiring More of God #2
So you were asked “How do we remain in Jesus in the midst of the busyness of this world?” We asked our Father for help from the Holy Spirit to remind us throughout the courses of the day to stay intentionally plugged into God. This should help our physical, emotional and spiritual health. In this session we will be asking for the help of the Holy Spirit in another way to keep us connected. Koinonia is a Greek word that means “community, communion, joint participation, sharing and intimacy.” It’s essential for us to regularly have times of koinonia with God and with other believers. Sometimes it’s difficult to feel that God really is with us. Yet, as a follower of Jesus, God’s Spirit is living inside of us. He’s that close! Be intentional about talking to God throughout the day, just like He is sitting right next to you, because He’s right there! Think about Him. Pray and ask for what you need. Praise Him. Spend time encouraging other believers and being encouraged every day in person. Or send a text. Pray for your friends. Write a quick note on Facebook. Even short words of encouragement to others have a huge impact! Exercise 16- Repeat session 8 extending love once again. Then, when you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit ask Him one of the following questions or one of your own that is similar. Father, in Jesus name, please send the Holy Spirit to remind me of someone to pray for or contact daily. Father, in Jesus name, please have the Holy Spirit inject thoughts of people that need your love so I may work. Father, in Jesus name, please have the Holy Spirit remind me throughout each day to share your love. Again, don’t try to hear words. You may not hear, see, or feel anything at this time, or you may. If you do, be sure to verify and test the answer with the Bible. Be aware that you have just asked God to have the Holy Spirit interject thoughts, images, feelings, messages from various people that will remind you to pray for, witness to, or contact them. Pause when this happens. Thank the Holy Spirit, and as soon as possible take the appropriate recommended action, hearkening unto the Lord.
