Several years ago, I read Benny Hinn's book, "Good Morning Holy Spirit." It was one of my Father's book and at the time I didn't desire a close relationship with God but just wanted to read something of substance. But little did I know that I would recall that book in the darkest moments of my life. After the passing of my father and aunt, I referred back to what I read in that book and I realized that I did not have that intimacy with the Lord. I didn't know the Holy Spirit beyond the teachings I'd received. I knew His work and His presence, but I didn't know His character. After the passing of my dad and aunt, over the next year, I would find my FLOW. It first was a nudge and then it developed into a hunger in me. I pursued Him with every ounce of strength I possessed, and this is what He wanted from me. He brought me to the place in my life that I was so broken that I hungered to flow with Him instead of against Him; and being in His flow has brought a transformation that is undeniable. My life now is so much different since I have gotten into His Flow! I have flowed from the obstacles of great trial, distress and stress; financial issues, the deterioration of relationships, the bonds of depression, through sickness and disease, and in the face of death to a peace of mind and an inner fulfillment that surpasses my understanding. The more yielded, empty, broken, and obedient I became, the more the power of the Holy Spirit flowed in my life. He's just waiting for you to FLOW with Him the same way. Our Father gave us His Spirit so that we can experience intimacy and commune with Him now. The Greek word for communion used in Scriptures is referred to as "koininia." Koininia means unity, a close association, fellowship, close bond, or a partnership. I have a koininia relationship with the Holy Spirit. I encourage you to have one as well. When we give to God what He desires of us, He will give us what we desire of Him. I am a living witness to that. I am now living the life I always wanted and desired. I am accomplishing goals and plans that I once thought I would never achieve. I dialogue with Him constantly. I have a bond with the Spirit that is so close I can't even describe it. We share, talk, ask questions of each other, communicate openly and He surely brings correction. I ask Him questions and He give me answers. There is a freedom in our fellowship. He's like my Father, my comforter, my counselor, my protector and my closest friend. He is with me at all times. And I don't have to wait for Him to come upon me or manifest in some way; I just know He's there. Many desire a move of the Spirit. The Spirit of our Father is available to FLOW to you a peace of mind in the face of great trial, distress and stress; financial issues, the deterioration of relationships, the bonds of depression, through sickness and disease, and in the face of death. It desires to reach down inside of us, remove obstructions to our wholeness, and heal our pain. He wants to fill our souls with our Father's peace, but there’s a distinct way in which that peace flows. The more yielded, empty, broken, and obedient you can become, the more the power of the Holy Spirit can FLOW in your life. He's just waiting for you to open your heart to Get Your Flow! I assure you it will be worth it. If this thought has been profitable to you, please share with your friends and family.
