Synchronicity, Serendipity or simply the Holy Spirit

The clock says 21:21, the daily message in the Jesus calling book pierces through like an arrow aimed at my soul. I feel a nudge to check the bible and open page 2121 to see what it says...

"Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and not do it." James 4:17

That was the answer to the thoughts that were racing through my mind regarding the direction I really should take. Despite the peace in my heart I felt every time I envisioned the ideas you have planted in my heart; despite how easy it was to find the practical answers I needed to get me going. I still had let doubt take over me, forgetting the truth that doubt and confusion never comes from you, as it is written in:

1 Corinthians 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

So for the past few days, you have been trying to communicate with me in so many ways and I guess fear took the best of me and started to make me blind to your calling and numb to my deepest desires, it is so easy to slip into the life of the world, to fall back into old patterns, to misplace values and trade eternity for a moment.

INSPIRATION - Jesus Calling
by Sarah Young

I speak to you from the depths of your being. Hear Me saying soothing words of Peace, assuring you of My Love. Do not listen to voices of accusation, for they are not from Me. I speak to you in love-tones, lifting you up. My Spirit convicts cleanly, without crushing words of shame. Let the Spirit take charge of your mind, combing out tangles of deception. Be transformed by the trust that I live within you.

The Light of My Presence is shining upon you, in benedictions of Peace. Let My Light shine in you; don't dim it with worries or fears. Holiness is letting Me live through you. Since I dwell in you, you are fully equipped to be holy. Pause before responding to people or situations, giving My Spirit space to act through you. Hasty words and actions leave no room for Me; this is atheistic living. I want to inhabit all your moments--gracing your thoughts, words, and behavior.

Romans 8:1-2 - English Standard Version (ESV)
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
Colossians 1:27 - ESV
To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
1 Corinthians 6:19 - ESV
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

Then once again, I returned to you, I focused on your promise; I focused on my promise to you; not only because you are everything to me, my salvation, my hope, the only one who fills our inner void, but simply because obedience is an act of Love; and I love you Father with all I am. There is no greater joy than to be in your presence; it is so intense that it humbles me to tears, that the creator, is also my friend, that he loves me and guides me daily; that you are the same throughout time. You shower me with blessings in the morning and divine sunsets at night, your grace is sufficient because it encompass it all.

So today Father, I want to invite everyone who wishes to understand and experience your love and what it means to have a relationship with you. I want to invite those who desire to get to know you but do not know where to start. I want to introduce you to Jesus and let your life be transformed by the most amazing friend you will ever have.

He never forsakes you and his faithful love endures forever.

Prayer

Dearest Father,

Thank you for your wonderful blessings, for your love, your presence and your peace. Father I pray in the name of Jesus Christ for all those who are eager to get to know you, that they seek you. Father that the Holy Spirit touches their heart and they experience how majestic it is to be in your presence. May they feel your overwhelming love, the transcendental peace that surpasses our understanding. Let them rejoice in a glimpse of what paradise is like, let them feel eternity in a moment. In Jesus name. Amen!
