AS I WAS WORSHIPING IN OUR MEETING PLACE WITH MY KING, HE TOLD ME SOMETHING THAT PIERCED MY HEART. HE SAID YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL MY PRESENCE BUT TO DWELL IN IT. THE PROBLEM WITH US AS CHRISTIANS IS THAT WE ARE MOVED BY OUR FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS RATHER TO BE FILLED BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WHAT'S AMAZES ME IS THAT THEY EVEN CONFIRM IT WITH THEIR MOUTH IN THE PULPIT OF THEIR CHURCHES THAT "I FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT" AHA! THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE CHURCH TODAY WE RELY ON FEELINGS MORE THAN OWNER OF THE CHURCH WHICH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE THINGS OF GOD DOES NOT MOVE AND GO ON FEELINGS MOST OF THE TIME,THEY ARE ACTUALLY CONTRARY TO OUR FEELINGS,WHEN I STUDY ROM8:5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness
THE PASSAGES OF THIS ARE VERY CLEAR LOL WE DON'T WALK ON FEELINGS HOWEVER ON WHAT WE ARE DIRECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHEN WE FURTHER STUDY GAL 5:17 WE LEARN THAT THE FLESH IS ALWAYS IN CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD,SO THEN HOW CAN WE OPENLY SAY WE "FEEL" THE HOLY SPIRIT WHILE WE ARE SUPPOSE TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE HIM AND HIS PRESENCE
GAL5:17For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
IMAGINE I AM WITH MY MOTHER AND I START SAYING TO MAYBE A FRIEND ON MY PHONE THAT "HEY MY FRIEND YOU KNOW I'M FEELING MY MOTHER THAT SHE IS WITH ME" YOUR MOTHER WILL LOOK AT YOU AS IF YOU ARE CRAZY AND WILL FEEL OFFENDED THAT KANTI THIS PERSON FEELS ME AND NOT WITH ME? DOES THAT MEANS I DON'T EXIST?
WHAT AM I SAYING? THE HOLY SPIRIT LONGS FOR A FELLOWSHIP WERE YOU DON'T RELY ON YOUR FLESH TO EXPERIENCE HIS PRESENCE HOWEVER HE LONGS FOR A FELLOWSHIP WERE YOU WILL BE HIS DWELLING PLACE FOR HIM TO LIVE AND REIGN IN YOU.YOU WON'T NO MORE DEPEND ON YOUR FEELING TO KNOW IF HE IS AVAILABLE OR NOT BUT HIS PRESENCE WILL ALWAYS BE MADE MANIFEST ALL THE TIME,WHEN SPEAKING IN TONGUES OR NOT,CHURCH OR NOT HE WILL BE AVAILABLE.YOU WILL KNOW WITHOUT BEING RECHARGED BY SONGS OR WHATEVER .
THE TIME TO FEEL HIS PRESENCE IS OVER,IT IS THE TIME WERE WE LIVE IN HIS PRESENCE THAT IS TTHE WILL OF GOD!
