isn't the line of the title cool? pastor prince mentioned it in passing two days ago. and praise Jesus, cos it's such a line which restores hope into the hearts of the ones who hear it. that your scars will be scars no longer, that upon contact with the resurrection life of Jesus, they turn into stars, gloriously shining for the world to see.
Pastor's message on sunday was on the blessing of Abraham, and how the Holy Spirit had lingered and lingered, unwilling and sad to leave Israel, and how it had returned after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, eagerly and mightily filling the disciples in the room.
personally, i think that changed my view of the Holy Spirit a great deal.
my brother mentioned to me once, to not underestimate the Holy Spirit. The presence of God is not something feeble that suffers from "interruptions" in your quiet time with the Lord. Sure, we can all pray that whatever time that we choose to spend with the Lord will be guarded by God and that no interruptions will spring up, but hey, even if anything comes by, so what? the touch of God's presence isn't something feeble to be broken off, by let's say, your parent looking in and asking you to clean up your room.
and the message preached by pastor really reinforced that. the lack of so-called "feeling" the Holy Spirit does not, by any means diminish its presence, for the Holy Spirit is a helper of Jesus who NEVER LEAVES NOR FORSAKES you.
and Daddy God is eager, eager and willing to come to you to sozo (save) you out of your distresses. and its time that we all grab hold of that and call on Jesus with the heart and mind that is assured that He answers immediately and to an extent where it far exceeds our needs.
its like pastor said before, "a crying child belongs on the lap of the Father". and when we're lost, in pain and don't know what or how to pray, all we have to do is cry out to Abba and He knows and is there to carry us.
