It is during that time, when you lie facedown that the Lord is showing His face strong on your behalf. You are not moving, and yet circumstances around you begin to take shape, just because you have given yourself over to Him. I have learned to trust in God and not the outcome. And as I lie in the pressence of my Father, my spirit is walking the battle out with Him.. Walking with God..what a call, what a wonder!!

God’s! Can you think of a higher calling? Yet, the higher your calling, the lower the crawling, the lower you must become in your own eyes. Paul had one of the greatest callings the world has ever known. Can you imagine the world without his letters? We would know far less about how the church is to function, or how to walk out our faith each day. Yet Paul said of himself, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief”. If you believe God has called you to greatness, your response to that call should be to fall on your face before Him. That’s how every great man and woman of God in Scripture responded. When an angel of the Lord appeared to Zacharias telling him he would have a son named John, Zacharias hit the floor and didn’t move, to the point that people wondered if he was dead. The prophet Ezekiel said that in the presence of the Lord and at the vision God gave him, he collapsed on the floor. God had to tell him to get up saying, “Son of man, stand upon your feet, and I will speak to you”. When John the Revelator saw Jesus standing in the midst of the seven churches, he wrote, “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead”. Those who exalt themselves are humbled by the Lord. Those who humble themselves before the Lord are those whom the Lord raises up. Humility doesn’t mean thinking less of yourself, it just means thinking of yourself less. grace & peace Think carefully about the words “walking with God.” Whose company are you in? God’s!

It always calls for humility and if there is any pride in one's heart..good criticism will either give you the opportunity to die to yourself, or one's pride will simply feed on it.. Pride is the coping meganism for criticism. Yolanda Holmes This is good Glenn,
