Psalms 63:1-5 #TPT
O God of my life, I’m lovesick for you in this weary wilderness. I thirst with the deepest longings to love you more, with cravings in my heart that can’t be described. Such yearning grips my soul for you, my God!
I’m energized every time I enter your heavenly sanctuary to seek more of your power and drink in more of your glory.
For your tender mercies mean more to me than life itself. How I love and praise you, God!
Daily I will worship you passionately and with all my heart. My arms will wave to you like banners of praise.
I overflow with praise when I come before you, for the anointing of your presence satisfies me like nothing else. You are such a rich banquet of pleasure to my soul.

"People are looking for answers and asking why China is having a revival when they are not. The answer is very simple. The leadership in China is fervently seeking after God in prayer."
Isaiah Chapter 30:18-26
"Therefore the LORD is waiting to show you mercy, and is rising up to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. All who wait patiently for Him are happy." 30:18
We find joy and happiness only in God's presence. God wants us to be in His presence, He wants to show us mercy and compassion, all we have to is cryout and He will answer our cry, as soon as He hears, without delay, and allow us to come into His presence. (v 18-19)
God doesn't just leave us to figure out life by ourselves. He teaches us and guides us, always right behind us instructing us on which way to go. (v 20-22)
Proverbs 3:5-10 #TPT
Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make.
Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.
Don’t think for a moment that you know it all, for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong.
Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for.
Glorify God with all your wealth, honoring him with your first fruits, with every increase that comes to you.
Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

Romans Chapter 8:15-16
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children
Under the Law you required 2 testimonies in order for something to be true. Here Paul tells us that we are children of God and we have 2 that testify to that fact, ourselves and the Holy Spirit. Together with the Holy Spirit we can cry out to God like a child crying out for their father, and we have nothing to fear when we are safely in the arms of our Father.

John 14:12-14 #TPT
“I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!
For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him.
Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!”

Colossians 3:12-14 #TPT
You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God , since you have been divinely chosen to be holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others.
Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness to them.
For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity.

You have blessed me with grace and poured your love into my heart through your Holy Spirit, your gift from above.
For your love, grace, forgiveness, salvation, and Spirit I praise you.
Faith in Jesus' precious name. Amen.
God’s love is stronger than the deepest darkness.
