AN ACTIVE CONNECTION TO THE SOURCE

MAR. 5TH. 
TEXT: Acts 17:23-28King James Version (KJV)
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

The Holy Spirit is a personality like God the Father and Son, have you spoken with Him today?

CONTEMPLATION
You need more than a place with an attractive and powerful name to keep an active walk with God.  A lot of religious houses have only compounded the frustration of many as they try to reach God.  The true longing of your soul is deeper and stronger than mere vocabulary and poetic rhyme. 
Don’t be deceived, energetic acrobatic display does not translate into the all important presence and power of God which transforms the soul. Make up your mind not to settle for dry religious forms and activities. Go deeper than the surface into the deep riches in the presence of God.
If you must pray, let your heart seek and pant for the person and will of God, and you will see the extraordinary made manifest. By your union with Christ, you belong to a realm far from the ordinary (Eph. 2:6). Until you attempt to step out in the spirit, you will never discover the limitless and expressive life in the spirit that is yours.
In Christ, you have a new identity and potentials which are far greater than what you were accustomed to. Keep reaching out in your new life and identity, until your talk, expectations and actions conform to the life of the new man in Christ. 
As a man walking in the spirit, you can put an end to confusion and frustration by simply stepping up into the realm of the Spirit (see Isaiah 26:3 and Revelation 4:1-2).
The place of your true freedom and joy is in the place of your intimate communion and fellowship with the Lord. Locate it and stay there.

PRACTICAL ISSUES
Any man has the ability to access the realm of the spirit and accomplish great things for God if only they will choose to obey the word of God.
Be careful what you open up your spirit to, so you will not have to regret the experience that will follow. Remember, you are more of a spirit being than a physical being.
The only spirit that has power over you is the one you have empowered over your life. Let God lead.
