This minister’s conference created a new hunger for me. It created a mirror for me that enabled me to see my reflection. I was able to see a lack of satisfaction in the things of God in my life. I found that I needed to put more effort, time, and devotion into other areas of my heart. I was also convicted by the fact that these areas had been neglected.
I began to understand how important it is not only to tap into the presence and things of God but to stay in His presence. I know now that if I remain in the Holy Spirit my light will shine bright instead of it flickering as if it is about to go out. I learned that not allowing the fire to die down is for the benefit of others regardless of my feelings, circumstances, or ideas.
There are people that hunger and desire to be touched by God. If the fire is not ablaze on the inside of me the people that are seeking God if they come across my path will not be able to see the light of truth. Who knows where the next light house might be or if they’ll even have another chance to meet another Christian.
This meeting challenged me to be totally sold out to Christ and His plan with no limits or boundaries set in place. There were no limits and no boundaries to the things that God did to find or reach me so there should be no limits on God or how He wants to enlarge/stretch me. Being willing and submitted to this process is not an option it is a choice that must be made.
