DWELL IN UNITY

Psalms 133:1-3 TPT

How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity! It’s as precious as the sacred scented oil flowing from the head of the high priest Aaron, dripping down upon his beard and running all the way down to the hem of his priestly robes. This harmony can be compared to the dew dripping from Mount Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed, that is where Yahweh has decreed his blessings will be found, the promise of life forevermore!

I am prayer meeting today with ministers from the Lufkin, Texas, area. The meeting is being called by a pastor I met just short of 2 weeks ago. I sensed by the Spirit that this is ordained by the Lord as part of the healing that is going to sweep across this area. East Texas has those who have prayed for revival for decades. That seed for revival, planted, watered with tears, and longed for is about to bear fruit.

This morning, along with Psalm 133, I read the following from Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon;

“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:4

Rich were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled with the Holy Ghost. The consequences of this sacred filling of the soul it would be impossible to overestimate. 

Life, comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and many other precious blessings are inseparable from the Spirit’s benign presence. 

As sacred oil, he anoints the head of the believer, sets him apart to the priesthood of saints, and gives him grace to execute his office aright. 

As the only truly purifying water he cleanses us from the power of sin and sanctifies us unto holiness, working in us to will and to do of the Lord’s good pleasure. 

As the light, he manifested to us at first our lost estate, and now he reveals the Lord Jesus to us and in us, and guides us in the way of righteousness. Enlightened by his pure celestial ray, we are no more darkness but light in the Lord. 

As fire, he both purges us from dross, and sets our consecrated nature on a blaze. He is the sacrificial flame by which we are enabled to offer our whole souls as a living sacrifice unto God. 

As heavenly dew, he removes our barrenness and fertilizes our lives. O that he would drop from above upon us at this early hour! Such morning dew would be a sweet commencement for the day. 

As the dove, with wings of peaceful love he broods over his Church and over the souls of believers, and as a Comforter he dispels the cares and doubts which mar the peace of his beloved. He descends upon the chosen as upon the Lord in Jordan, and bears witness to their sonship by working in them a filial spirit by which they cry Abba, Father. 

As the wind, he brings the breath of life to men; blowing where he listeth he performs the quickening operations by which the spiritual creation is animated and sustained. 

Would to God, that we might feel his presence this day and every day.

Lord, hear our prayers.

Grace and peace be unto you until next time.
