Today I want to share a portion of "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers.
While
ye have light, believe in the light. — John 12:36
We all have moments when we
feel better than our best, and we say — “I feel fit for anything; if only I
could be like this always!” We are not meant to be. Those moments are moments
of insight which we have to live up to when we do not feel like it. Many of us
are no good for this workaday world when there is no high hour. We must bring
our commonplace life up to the standard revealed in the high hour.
Never allow a feeling which was stirred in you in the high hour
to evaporate. Don’t put your mental feet on the mantelpiece and say — “What a
marvellous state of mind to be in!” Act immediately, do something, if only
because you would rather not do it. If in a prayer meeting God has shown you
something to do, don’t say — “I’ll do it”; do it! Take
yourself by the scruff of the neck and shake off your incarnate laziness.
Laziness is always seen in cravings for the high hour; we talk about working up
to a time on the mount. We have to learn to live in the grey day according to
what we saw on the mount.
Don’t cave in because you have been baffled once, get at it
again. Burn your bridges behind you, and stand committed to God by your own
act. Never revise your decisions, but see that you make your decisions in the
light of the high hour.
What he is saying here is that many times we hear from God under the Anointing in a service and we commit to put what we hear into practice, but then, after the excitement of the service, when we return to our everyday life, we forget what the Lord has said. How do we stop that from happening? Don't SAY "I will", JUST DO IT! Put it into practice as soon as possible! You may not be able to fully act on the instruction immediately, but by doing what you CAN do, you will put yourself in position to NOT forget! Take notes during every service and write down what Holy Spirit is telling you, because He WILL take what is being taught and give you specific ways to carry it out in your own individual, unique life! When God speaks, everything He says is of VITAL importance! Make it so yourself! You will see some drastic changes for the GOOD! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Closer":
Shalom in Him!
