Presence in Spirit

Lord, guide and direct me out of darkness,

Into the light of the Presence in Spirit—can I be holy? According to God’s Word, I already am. I desire to be in complete presence in spirit with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—in holy union through Jesus Christ. I want to be alive in spirit with our Lord Christ Jesus.

Furthermore, I offer this prayer to You, Lord, for it is You I long for. Besides, I ask that the ignition be lit again—that inner flame. Let it be ignited in the light of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, through the blessings of His holy sacrifice.

O Lord, You are holy. You are the eternal one of my soul. You are guiding me out of darkness and into the light of Your ever-present Spirit once again. I know that Your sovereignty is eternal, alive within every soul.

My will is tired of the same old patterns. I needed to give my mind rest, but now I feel numb. I cannot see beyond the barriers before me. My heart has hardened, and I long for it to be open and receptive again. I feel weary and burdened.

Lord, You blessed me with “In Presence of Spirit” in April 1988. I have never let it go. It has grown so much. Show me what You want me to do with it now, after all these years. It still carries the same meaning every time I return to it.

“The kingdom of heaven is within.” These are the words of Jesus Christ—the words of the Father—Spirit-filled words carried through all writers across time: past, present, and future. Our words.

The words I have written are meant to continue a living conversation with the Lord—in Spirit, never apart from Him.
