‘I Feel the Presence of The Lord’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

Controlling Our Thought Life – Sunday Thought For The Day

September 29, 2024

Our minds can be a powerful reservoir of virtue, righteous yearnings and Godly thoughts; but they can also be the polar opposite, e.g., filled with evil plans and plotting, wicked thoughts and yearnings.  This is why its so massively important for us to pray with all earnestness that we would submit our minds to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

It is an unalterable fact that the more we think on the things of God, the more our minds and behavior become in sync with God.  But, that can only happen when we are spending time in the word of God.

We must strive to spend more time thinking and meditating on the things of God than we spend thinking about making money, who is going to win the big game, elections, impure thoughts, getting revenge for some slight, etc.

If we are to be honest, many times through the course of a day our minds are clouded with thoughts that are not beneficial to our lives as Christians or pleasing to God.  How often would the Lord have us pray for someone or direct us, but we miss or ignore same, because our minds are not in sync with our Lord?  That happens when we are not open to the leading and urging of the Holy Spirit.

It is a fact that we yield to temptation in our minds before we yield to acting upon that temptation.  King David’s sin with Bathsheba is a prime example.

Let us determine this day that it is God we will serve.  It is Christ Jesus with whom we have our fellowship and our walk; and it is the Holy Spirit to whom we will submit our thoughts.  Remember, the enemy of our souls doesn’t stop tempting us just because we are Christians.

READ:

Philippians 4:8-9 (KJV)

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
