Divine Nature

Just got back from a prayer meeting. 10 to 1. God is showing me how important prayer is and I definitely like doing it and it is badly needed. I pray now like I never prayed before allowing God to lead and guide my thoughts and words.

So I was praying this morning and God told me not to praise Him for His works. I guess I did not ever think about it before. God does not want us boasting in our works and people giving us praise for them and but God is above that right? Nonetheless God told me not to praise Him for His works. He told me to praise Him for who He is and not what He's done. He still wants me to be thankful for those things but the praise belongs wholly to Him and not His works. He wants me to praise Him for His divine nature. Praise Him for being sovereign, holy, loving, just, because in reality He has to do all the works we see because He is all these things.

I read Ephesians 2:22 this morning. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. Him is Christ and you is the body. So God wants to dwell in the body. Read that sentence again. Think of what would happen when God dwells among his bride. It says though that the Spirit is building us together. Spiritually we are not ready for him to live with us. That means revival of the saints and purging of apostasy. We have to let the Spirit fix us up.

Yeah that's all I guess. I don't have any specific requests. I would ask that you just praise God for who He is and His divine nature and thank Him for His works.
