What fuels your Fire?
 
It's been awhile since I've started a thread, but today I really felt encouraged to ask this question of you all.

So then, what gets you going in the Spirit?

Either in a meeting, alone, or both.

Thad 05-31-2007 05:10 PM

people will be shocked to hear that I really like tio sit in silence before God.
also, I like to sit and play old hymns and that is how i touch the spirit relm.

Giving Him the worship He is due, whether I "feel" it or not.
Helping someone in need.
Seeing someone filled/freshened/renewed in the Holy Ghost.

I like the old hymns too.

Amen. There is something about witnessing a move of the Holy Ghost that spreads like wildfire.

I like to be all alone in a big sanctuary singing old hymns and new worship songs as I walk and pray and meditate.

that is it right there!
A lot of times i really don't get a lot out of a service
because i'm there to serve and give. that's why i really
like the time alone for my own spiritual benefit

I like alone time in big sanctuaries too, especially at sunrise and sunset. Buildings are alright too.

Alone with God...singing, praying, praising, worhsipping, and meditating...it makes me in tune with what is happening in the spirit realm around me.

It differs . . .

There are times when I like to put in a worship cd with songs I've compiled and blare it loud when I pray . . .

Other times, like Thad, I find peace and rest in the silence and enjoy quietly meditating on God's Word.

Rev Dooley 05-31-2007 05:53 PM

Alone time. It is when I can weep and the enemy knows it isn't for show and he doesn't pester me as much then. Those are the times when I find the breakthroughs that I have been seeking.

I used to have a place in my old hometown where I went to be alone with God. I miss it. God spoke to me on issues then that have fueled me to where I am today.

Abraham went out to meet the Lord. That speaks volumes of his life and personal consecration.

I like to turn up my favorite tunes too, especially while driving....

Bro. Theophilus Sir........

Can you explain for me what you mean by .... "what gets you going in the Spirit"? I'm not quite sure what you mean. ???

Coffee99 06-01-2007 12:57 AM

Praying softly, reading the Bible, and contemplating mountains. Sometimes, I start my prayer and then just feel compelled to sit quietly with my eyes closed . Often, that is when I feel the sweetest spirit of God.

In the mountains or by a stream. I think He must like mountains.

Sometimes, if I am listening to classical music, I find myself praying.

Stillness.
