Psalm 84

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

My spirit is longing for me in cooperation with the Holy Spirit to serve the kingdom of God! I'm not sitting dormant, I'm not clammed up, I'm not bound, I'm not shackled.

I know that the church building is not what's going to get me closer to God but rather my yearning to have relationship and connection with my heavenly Father that's going to get me from glory to glory, not sitting in a building, not trying to appease a man or a woman, but to say, "I live for Christ!" Lord, what is it that you want me to do while I'm here on earth?

I'm yearning to serve God. Father, I'm yearning to seek after your anointing. I'm yearning to fast and to pray and to read Your Word so that I can draw closer to You. I'm yearning for my flesh to be crucified so that when I look in the mirror, I see more of You and less of myself. I'm yearning for your Divine Spirit to be edified within my being!

John 6:38

"For I came down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him that sent me."

Matthew 26:39

Jesus went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying,

"O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me, nevertheless not as I will, but as You will."

"This too shall pass!" One way or another, and Father's always got me!

Philippians 3:13-14

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus!"

You've got to know your calling, and stay in line with your calling. Don't go where you aren't called!

Time mark: 20:07

If you go walk in the Spirit you got to hear in spirit. If you pray and ask God to give you an answer, then you must make sure that you're willing to listen to the answer that He gives you and apply and do what He tells you to do! It has a great deal to do with obedience, yearning after God, being obedient to His will, His word, His way.

Hebrews 10:22-25

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
