The Manifestation of God’s Presence

Many times during a group prayer session I have heard people say, “I don’t know if this is from the Lord, but…” Then they go on to deliver a prayer that feels very divinely inspired. I think it is important in these moments to let people know that it is evident that it was God speaking through them.

Let us encourage each other as we seek God’s presence and leading in our lives.

Questions:

1. What are some changes you can make to increase your sensitivity to the Spirit?

2. Can increasing your sensitivity be as simple as looking for God more often during your day?

3. Write down how God might have been active in your life today

Prayer:

Lord, we long for you to speak to us. Help us to quiet ourselves before you. Help us to be ready to receive your message. Give us the patience to wait upon you without agenda. To wait knowing that just sitting here with you is enough.

Exercise:

Find a quiet spot where you can relax. Spend a few minutes emptying your mind and taking your focus off yourself and placing it on God. Then when you are ready to listen, simply ask, “Lord, what is on your heart today?”
