Dear Friend,

God showed me something about His love a few years ago during one of my seeking times. He came and poured His Presence out on me unlike any time before.  When this first happened, all I could do was cry and cry; that’s all I could handle.  He showed me that what He had poured out was only a small portion of His love, like a thin layer of onion skin.

As time went on and I learned more and was faithful to stay in private worship (the personal, alone-with-God kind of worship), He was able to pour more out on me. Wonderful miracles started happening in my meetings, and the anointing flowed so strongly that people were also getting healed when someone stood in proxy for them or when a prayer cloth was laid on them.

In this new realm that I am beginning to understand and walk in, I know that my born again human spirit has a capacity to love with God’s love and to be loved with the same love He loved Jesus. What I didn’t know was that this capacity could be a channel for God’s love to flow through, and the more time I spend in God’s Presence, the more He’s able to pour that love out in me in the capacity He’s given me in my new nature. The more I can handle, the more He will be able to open Heaven up and magnify that anointing to bring His Presence to other people to get their needs met.

It has been a process, but I want to tell you something that I learned that will help you save time in getting to the place where you know God as your Father and your faith is increased where He is able to pour His Presence out on you and through you. This is it:

BECOME PART OF A THANKFUL AND HOLY GENERATION.

The abundance that we have enjoyed in America has been a great plus.  We’ve been raised with it and we hardly know anything else. We have suffered a few things like recessions and depressions, but overall we have enjoyed a level of prosperity and abundance, and it is an incredible thing. Our problem has been more of trying to stay free from the love of money, the root of all evil.

But we need to develop and keep that thankful and holy heart-attitude when things are good and when things are bad. Sometimes it is easy for people to accuse God for the things that go wrong in their lives—they become murmurers and complainers. If they only knew that one of our greatest strengths can be found in the middle of a time of trial or devastation that, when a person worships God instead of agreeing with the Accuser, it increases their capacity to know God as Father and to receive His love.

If people would just lift their hands and say, “I know this is not You, Father.  You are the answer to the problem and I glorify You. I don’t need the schooling of persecution to cause me to realize that You are my only answer. You were my answer before I was born and I’ll rest in You. I have the peace that’s not of this world that came from Heaven in the form of the rebirth and has taken over every facet of my being . . .” God would come and pour Himself out on them and their situation, and their capacity to hold His love and Presence would increase.

I just wanted to encourage you a little bit this special time of the year when pressures and emotions can try to make you feel like you are on a roller-coaster.  Remember to have a thankful heart towards God. Bless Him in times when you have been blessed and especially in times when you feel a need to be blessed. God is not our problem—He is the answer!
