alright people a few things that i want to blog down and is very effective if u apply it
this week i bought this book "disciplines of the holy spirit".. so here here are somethings

DRAWING NEAR TO GOD: DISCIPLINES OF SOLITUDE

1) solitude and silence
solitude and slience is important because it helps us estiblish and renew us in our relation to god.
through this, holy spirit works to transform us by drawing us closer to god in intimacy and vulnerability, by giving us revelations of god's character and purpose, by speaking to us, and by strengthing us for battle.

2)listening and guidence
it is a vital practice as we grow to love and trust god. as we wait upon god the spirit will release words of wisdom, knowledge through the scripture verses, images, impressions, promptings, memories or remembering. but we also must discern if is coming form god, satan or ourselve

3)prayer and inercession
it draws us deeper into the heart of god and also as we pray holy spirit will change us into more christ like. Not only that when we interceed the spirit also help us to interceed for us and others articulating for things that are too deep for words, revealing and interpreting the father's heart to us. through this discipline the spirit draws us into partnership in loving others, engaging in spiritual battle, securing god's plan and purpose.

4)Study and meditation
espically of scripture, it brings us into intimate knowledge of god's character and purpose. through the holy spirit can and will speak directly, he speaks primarily and most powerfully through the word to draw us into knowledge.

U know there is more written in here and is very effective IF we apply it.. and i believe it's true that we need solitude, we need to be still and know that god is in control in our lives.. let me show u the prove that it says that silience/rest is important. turn your bible to hebrews 4:10 to 11
when we enter into solitude we are resting in god's presence.. so sometimes when we feel burn out is because we did not rest in god's presence and we did not renew our relationship with him.. in verse 11 it says "Make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall"

if we don't rest or spend time in the silence and stillness of god.. we can't grow.. even though we have a lot of knowledge, but if there is no rest, u will still fall, because u are not letting god to restore you.

well this is one of the thing that i want to share.. there is more so if you really want to know more about disciplines of the holy spirit.. go to sks bookstore in tiong barhu now..
