Maintaining Intimacy with the Spirit in a Busy World (XII)

 Spirit Breakfast 8/3/2021



Text: Ephesians 5:18 (New Living Translation)

Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.


Continued from last time...


How does making Melody in the heart help one to maintain stillness?


Although Melody is manifested through sounds and hums, the initial origin is in the heart. 


The heart is the centre of a man's being. It is the source from which all that a man is originates from. 


No wonder Proverbs 23:7 says "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..."


Proverbs 4:23 also says: "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." 


In other words, the products of your life come from your heart, thereofe the heart must be diligently guarded and kept. 


The heart is responsible for dictating so many things including the stillness of one's soul.


When we talked about meditation, we said meditation helps you to hide God's word in your heart. The target of meditation and making melody is the heart. 


The heart also is safeguarded when we make Melody in our heart. This is because making Melody is an act of putting your hope in God. 


Melody is a spiritual and powerful tool for soothing and queiting the soul.


The soul of a man can be cast down, it can be disquieted (Psalms 43:5) but through the act of making Melody in the heart, you can restore the stillness of the soul. 


This is why David was dear to God's heart because he knew how to guard his own heart through Melody and praises. 


When you make Melody in your heart, you connect yourself to the same frequency of the Spirit because Melody are birthed by the Spirit of God within us. 


We'll continue tomorrow by God's grace and look at how to make a practice of this biblical instruction.


The prophetic word for you this week is that your cup will run over in Jesus name. Declare it, it shall come to pass.


Have a graced day...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
