He looked up and noticed three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran to meet them and welcomed them, bowing low to the ground. -Genesis 18:2(NLT)
WHEN GOD SHOWS UP
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you ever felt God’s presence in your life?
He is always with you and shedding you His light
Are you able to let go of whatever you are doing?
Do you recognize His spirit as your day is going?
Do you notice when God is just nearby and hovering?
What do you do when he overwhelms you with his loving?
Abraham bowed low to the ground to give him reverence
How do you acknowledge the Lord God Almighty’s presence?

According to the Blue Letter Bible.org website, During the period of the Old Testament God appeared to certain people in a physical form. This form was not the essence of God but rather a physical representation of God for the benefit of those to whom He was speaking. Nobody has seen God or can see God for, by nature, He is an invisible spirit. In Genesis 17, we clearly read that the Lord appeared to Abram when he was ninety-nine years old telling him that he was “El Shaddai” – ‘God Almighty.’ He instructed Abram to serve him faithfully and live a blameless life and made a covenant with him to guarantee countless descendants coming from him (Genesis 17:1-2).

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. And pray for me, too.
-Ephesians 6:18 (NLT)
PRAY IN THE SPIRIT AT ALL TIMES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you talk to God at all times?
He always listens to your joy and cries
Allow the Spirit of God to teach you
Stay alert and you will be free from rue.
Ask God to give you the right words
Only his truth can defeat this world
Be persistent in your prayers for all believers
We ought to care for all our sisters and brothers.
The bible tells us to pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. In other words, it means “every moment.” God tells us in Scriptures that we ought to “pray in the spirit” which simply means, pray with your heart and allow God’s Spirit to fill you with his truth. God wants us to speak our hearts out to him and desires for intimacy through constant meditations on his word. When we feed on his word, the conversations will bring us closer to him and make us grow. It will make us learn to know God’s character and become more like him every day.
PRAYER
Lord, let your Spirit never depart from my heart.
REFLECTION
What do you talk to God about? How often do you pray?
