What matters...

I woke up with a song in my Spirit yesterday morning and have been singing it all day.....It's one of those that I have heard and fallen in love with, so it's on my playlist....but as for why it was the one today, I wasn't sure.....until my prayer time tonight. 

When you walk into the room everything changes....When God shows up, nothing else matters. His presence is what our hearts should desire in all situations. We are so quick to want to keep our hands on a situation through words, worries, and action....when God's saying I'm here just sit with me and know I've got it.  When you walk into the room everything changes...there is a shift that happens when God shows up and turns things around. Details lose their focus when Jesus shows up.....what mattered a minute before isn't even on your mind when He is all you can feel. Stay with me for a minute....His presence is on the inside of us ALL OF THE TIME. Yes, it's stronger when we are in cooperate worship, but I've had some amazing times in His presence with just me and Him...in my prayer closet, in my car, or in my living room even like now. There are times when He says I want you....I want you to see I'm in the room and nothing but that matters. It doesn't matter what anyone is doing, what they are saying, or what may be coming...it matters that I'm here and I'm doing something. There are moments in Him when the natural loses focus...and it doesn't matter what time it is or how long you have been somewhere...you don't want to move until He says to. 

Aaron preached a sermon last week on Cast Down but not Destroyed....I watched it twice, sometimes you just know when it's an on time word that needs to take root. God brought that word back to mind just a few minutes ago....you may feel pressed on every side, but the pressing brings the anointing. The oil can't come without a press and there is more for you to do than what you can see. Don't lose sight of how it feels in the middle of the pressing, let it happen....Greater is coming and miracles, signs, and wonders are yours to walk in. So many times we focus on how the pressing feels instead of what is coming after the pressing. We want to run from the season or situation that is causing the pressing, but God's saying I'm in the room with you....don't run, let me finish what I started. The pressing is when you learn the fight is worth it. The pressing is where you learn that it's just between me and You Child. On the Potter's wheel in the middle of the process, the masterpiece doesn't always look like something to those who are not the Potter. 

I don't know where you are at....or even if this was for more than just me....but this is Restoration year. Don't lose sight of what God is doing regardless of how you feel, what others are doing, or how it looks. God's not finished, He's just getting started. So many times I think we feel like we have to explain what God is doing in us when God is saying...leave that to me when it's time. We waste a lot of words in the natural when God's saying I need you to use that power in the Spiritual realm...there are battles to be fought there. Don't get so distracted by what's going on in the natural that you lose sight of what is going on in the Spiritual realm. The pressing has a purpose....when He walks in the room everything changes......
