Have you ever been camping?

I’ve spent my adult life camping on a bold declaration about something that I can’t see with my eyes or touch with my hands. I’ve based my all on the content of this declaration. It’s about an invisible person.

God became flesh and lived among people. Now Jesus Christ, the eternal God-man, has nail holes in his hands and feet and a spear hole in His side. As I behold Him shinning radiantly in my heart I can only say, with awe, adoration, faith, gratitude, and surrender: “My Lord and My God.” (John 1:1-14, John 20:24-28, 2 Corinthians 4:6)

I’ve also camped out on this Bible-based prayer for direct and permanent Holy Spirit intervention in and thorough my life. Doing my best to stay always aware of, open to, and surrendered to the presence, power, and leadership of the Holy Spirit has led me to a wonderful life.

Lord, make me aware of Spirit-taught words. (1 Corinthians 2:13) Help me hear what the Spirit is saying (Revelation 2:7) and be unceasingly led by the Spirit, not by my self-driven desires and feelings. (Galatians 5:19-21) Help me be good fertile ground (Mark 4:1-20) where the fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) and the gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1-11) of the Spirit flourish in abundance. God, the Holy Spirit, (2 Corinthians 3:17) sent to me by God the Father, (John 14:26) I ask You in the name of Jesus, the God-man, (John 1:14) that You have Your way in and through me. I surrender my all to You.
