Good Morning!
 
I am sure that most of you that are reading this "series" on The Joy of The Lord, may already know how to "enter" His presence (which is the source of that Joy).  You may even know how to "abide" in His presence (which keeps us in the "fullness of Joy).  However, this is my "assignment" for now, and I pray that all of us can learn even more about this powerful, scriptural "principal"!  It has been life-changing for me and I want to stay "teachable" . . . so, I am expecting to receive more "revelation" from this!  Anyway, if only one person's life is changed from this message, so be it!  That person is valuable and precious to God!   Can I get an AMEN?
 
Yesterday, I listed some "avenues" that will lead you into the "presence of The Lord".   Let's set our hearts and minds to receive what The Holy Spirit will show us about #1~~~~~
 
#1.   Talk to Him
            We were created to fellowship and communicate with The Lord!  He desires for our relationship with Him to be "personal and intimate"!  Remember that He is right there in the same room with you, so don't just talk "about" Him . . . talk TO Him!
There is a time to quote scriptures about Him and His promises to you, but then there is a time when you should begin to speak TO Him. In stead of saying . . . "My God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in Glory".  Acknowledge His presence by saying to Him . . . "Thank you, Father, that You are taking care of all of my needs according to Your resources, not according to mine"!   I promise you that you will receive JOY by just saying that . . . but it is because you have acknowledged His "presence"!  For example . . . Let's say I came to visit you and was standing right there in your presence (I wish I could do that with each one of you!).     Anyway, back to my "example" . . . would you just tell someone else that was there,  "Luanne is such a blessing to my life"?  If you did, then that would make me feel like you were not even acknowledging my presence.  Right?  Remember, I am only using this as an example . . . I don't know if I have been a blessing in your life or not.  I am just trying to make a point.  If you will "acknowledge" The Lord's presence in your life by talking directly and personally TO Him, that gives you entrance in to "His presence"!  
 
More to come, so stay tuned in~~~~~
 
Have a Blessed Day!!     (In His presence is fullness of JOY!)     In His Love, Luanne
