i grew up in a baptist church in rockledge florida and anytime the Holy Spirit would move in our church that would mean that we would stand on the third verse of some old hymn and then sit down quickly afterwards. sometimes, we would stand for the whole song but that was just for easter, or christmas, or potluck dinner, you know? because of that, i guess i just never quit grasped what it meant for the Holy Spirit to move until i was a little bit older. now, i’m not talking about the speaking in tongues, faoming at the mouth, and shaking all over the place kinda movement but…if thats your thing, then knock yourself out.

i’m talking about those moments when it feels like He is inches away from your face. those moments that are so intense that you’re afraid to move. the moments that are so intense that a part of you thinks if you say or sing or do anything at all, you just might mess it up. those moments that are so intense that we have no choice but to be changed.

my prayer is that you and i can find one of those moments very, very soon. and that you would have a moment like that for no other reason then the simple fact that you have called on His name and He is faithful to show up.

you see, its pretty important that you can realize right now, whether you know Christ or not, wherever it is you are standing, sitting or laying, you are in the presence of a Holy God. and that should blow your stinkin mind.
