A few days ago, I was praying along with a prayer from "The Century of the Holy Spirit", a book documenting the history of the Pentecostal and charismatic renewal. And I felt the Lord wanting me to repeat this prayer...so I just prayed along. I asked the Holy Spirit to come and fill all churches that would want Him.
Just a few seconds later, the Lord gave a wonderful confirmation. The TV was on in the background, and I heard, 'We've found a place of you to stay'. Of course, this was quickened to me as having a special meaning--a spiritual meaning! Praise God! We invite Him in, then He finds a resting place.
Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." Matthew 8:20
Then he called to me, "Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north." Zechariah 6:8
"Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." John 16:24
Isn't that wonderful? God can be welcomed in by us. He allows our longing for Him to change things. We are His children, and we are His place of habitation. If we ask Him, He will come to us. We need to pour ourselves out and allow God to come in and change things! We need to invite Him in, because He is more desperate to come in than we are. We need to pray that the Lord would send His Spirit into any place that would value Him.
