I have been guilty of asking God for His presence to fill a room or His Holy Spirit to fill this place. I have been enlightened through revelation from reading the written Word of God and believe we need to be more accurate in our prayers.
If the presence of God showed up we would be annihilated. Burnt to a crisp. Our bodies made up of mostly water would boil to evaporation, then cooking our flesh until we burst into flames and become ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Moses wanted to see God's glory. God put Moses in the cleft of a rock and covered him with His hand. Moses saw the back of God and not His face. I will show you All My Goodness. God showed Moses all the glory of His Goodness. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, "Goodness", faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Since the greatest of these is Love, goodness would be level four of God's power. Since God created the Sun, who is more powerful. The thing created or it's Creator. Exodus 33:18-23, Galatians 5:22,23 Which brings us to the second part of our prayers. Fill this place. The presence and the power of God is in the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you. The Holy Spirit will be with you and in you. John 14:17 OK, (with you), would be in the room but, why is He not In you. If He is in us the only reason He would leave and be on the outside of us would be sin. We might not think it is sin to watch an R rated movie but, does Jesus like watching his children get tortured and killed? I believe the Holy Spirit takes one step Away from us each time we meditate, abide, participate in the things of the world that are not uplifting. This takes discipline to renew the mind. It is up to us. Romans 12:2 Father God, In the name of Jesus, Fill us with the Holy Spirit to produce good fruit to be given to others. Holy Spirit, distribute gifts as you will (John 12:11) and Father fill this room with Angels to protect us (Psalm 91:11 For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways.) and minister to us (Matthew 4:11 and Angels ministered to Jesus.) according to Your will. Make us one with You and Your Only Begotten Son. (John 17:20,21) In the name of our Anointed Lord, King Jesus. Amen. Lord means Superior and Christ means Messiah or Anointed One. Our Anointed Superior King Jesus. Or, Our Anointed Lord of Kings Jesus. Ever notice that Our Father in heaven is the God of gods and Lord of lords. Deuteronomy 10:17 And, Jesus is the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Revelation 17:14 even though it is listed in the wrong order in Revelation 19:16 and http://biblehub.com/1_timothy/6-15.htm Since God is Lord, a Lord is Greater than a King.

One night, as I slept on my back, I started dreaming. Towards the foot of my bed, in the left corner of my room on the ceiling, was a giant tarantula hanging upside-down. It had black prickily hair covering it's enormous body and legs. It's body was as big as my torso and it's legs were as long as my arms and there were eight of them. I was petrified. It started to move towards me very slowly. It inched it's way down the wall. I remember trying to bind this evil thing in the name of Jesus. At the time I was in the habit of saying, "I bind you evil spirits and I command you to come out in the name of Jesus Christ." I tried to speak but I only stuttered. ah, ah, I, ba, ba, bi. The words wouldn't come out. The giant tarantula climbed down the wall and on top of my stomach. I couldn't speak and I knew that this thing was going to bite me. As the frustration of forcing my speech intensified, finally I shouted, NO! It raised it's body up, turned and looked at me, then vanished. Whew! I learned that night that We already have Jesus / The Holy Spirit living inside of us. If/Since, we believe in our hearts that Jesus died to save us, even while we were still sinning. And that God raised Him from the dead. We confess/proclaim that Jesus is Lord, the devil is under our feet. Forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Fill us with your Holy Spirit Father God, in the name of Your Son Jesus my Lord and Christ. Amen. Just say No! Has new meaning now. Before I go to sleep, I pray that the devil must stay out of my dreams in the name of Jesus Christ and I don't have bad dreams anymore. There are times when I don't pray, wondering if I had prayed long enough, meaning: night after night. Another twisted dream will show up but nothing as terrifying as that giant tarantula.
So, in conclusion, read your bible, say your prayers whenever you wake up so that you will already have the Holy Spirit in you ready for you to say, "NO!" and rejoice in the Lord Always. Have a blessed day. P.S. Some spirits will put up a fight so saying No may only be the beginning. You may need to tell them to be quiet so that you can speak to the person and ask if they want to be saved. Marilyn Hickey said she prayed for 4 hours and finally told the lady, "You need to tell them to leave." and she said, "But they're my friends." All I can say is don't go looking for a fight. God is in control through Christ Jesus. |
