This word always comes with patience and it means as much \r\nas waiting with an expectation. A hope for the arrival of his promise. \r\nWe also read in verse 28 that our God has the fullness of power and strength.\r\nHow can we implement this urge in a very practical way? So I do that: \r\nI'm looking for a quiet place, take my guitar and start to play songs \r\nof praise and wait until I come into his presence to talk to JESUS \r\n\u200b\u200bmentally through his Holy Spirit in me. The Bible says he lives in the praise \r\nof his people, and wherever he lives we can meet him. \r\nIf you can not play an instrument, let a music that gives Jesus the glory \r\nrun and sing along. Try to forget yourself, your worries and problems, \r\nhardships and suffering, avoid yourself in the focus of your thoughts \r\nand ask to have. But wait for his presence. \r\nSometimes it gets really fast sometimes it may take longer. Try it. \r\nHe is happy when you sacrifice time and come.<\/span>\r\nThis is also our 2nd keyword\r\n<\/span>\r\nCOME<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis is what Jesus says in Matthew 11<\/span>\r\n\r\n28 Come unto me all who labor and are heavy laden, \r\nand I will give you rest.<\/span>\r\n\r\n29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, \r\nfor I am meek and humble of heart; you will find peace for your souls!<\/span>\r\n\r\n30 For my yoke is gentle and my burden is light.<\/span>\r\n<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\r\nHere Jesus calls you and me into his presence ... close to HIM ... \r\nwe can experience his presence in several ways. One is through worship \r\nand praise, the other is through reading and studying in his Word, \r\nthe Holy Scripture, the third is through prayer. \r\nThis means that this coming again requires action on our part. \r\nSacrifice TIME is probably a key to everything.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhen we redirect our priorities to fellowship with Jesus, \r\nwe have taken the first important step to be refreshed \r\nand strengthened and empowered. Then we may learn to be humble ... \r\nto find peace as in verse 29. This Greek word is also \r\ntranslated as refreshment. Which means: recovering to be fit for \r\nfurther work, settling down, resting temporarily, keeping calm, \r\nstaying calm and waiting in patient expectation.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMay the Lord bless you while you continue to seek HIM ... shalom<\/span>\r\n<\/pre>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/pre>\n
