Spiritual Meeting

Our Communion Meeting will begin this weekend beginning on Friday night and continuing through Sunday with Elder Charles Kitchens. Please pray that He will be blessed with the Spirit of God to bring the message and the worshipers will be blessed to receive the message and be revived in service to God. We cannot expect to pray for God to send the regenerating Spirit because He sends that as He pleases. Paul said, “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace.” (Gal. 1:15). All God’s children will be given that Spirit sometime between conception and death. However, we can pray for the Holy Spirit to come in a manifest way with great power as we assemble in one mind and one accord. The Bible says that if a son asks his father for bread, will he give him a stone? If the son asks for a fish, will his father give him a stone? The obvious answer is no. Then what about our Heavenly Father? The Bible then says, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” (Luke 11:13). This cannot mean regenerating Spirit because the person that prays sincerely is already in possession of the Spirit. We can and should pray for that Spirit in all our meetings when we gather to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth. I hope our conduct has been in accordance with our prayer for that is when the Lord has promised to come and commune with us. John said, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” (John 14:21). Blessed be His matchless Name!–May 17, 2012–Elder Larry Wise
