I woke up yesterday and heard Holy Spirit say Think of me only today. It is helping me to quiet my mind and give me a deeper sense of peace as I go about my day.
I also want to share this, I was just talking about it yesterday elsewhere. Last summer I overheard a conversation of two people discussing the proper way to prune vines. They said that those who are experienced know that the pruning has to be radical for the grapes to be really big. It's best to leave just one or two branches. The less experienced don't have the heart to do it and the vine then expends its energy on sustaining branches and leaves instead of fruit. There may be more grapes but they are much smaller and lesser quality. Just think of it in spiritual terms. Don't be afraid of radical pruning and letting go of all excess. Those courageous enough yield the best fruit.
I had an interesting experience this morning. I saw the Italian artist Angelo Branduardi in my dream and I was reminded of his song and then I realized it was playing in my head as I woke up. It's called Vanità di vanità I'll copy the English translation of a part of the lyrics here. I was listening to it all morning and it goes so well with today's teaching 😊
Everything's vanity, only vanity/ Live with joy and simplicity,/ Stay good if you can/ All the rest is vanity.
Everything's vanity, only vanity/ praise the Lord with humility,/ give Him all the love,/ and you won't lack anything anymore.
It’s amazing how much God uses this man of God! God has spoken to me a few times through this brother. What he also mentioned about how God uses many with gifts but are still sinning has also been on my mind. People believe that just because they are being used they are good before God. They exalt themselves but do not allow the spirit to live in them. They have gotten so consumed with the gift that they have forgotten about the one that gives it. The church needs more Brothers and sisters that exalts God and that has the fear of the Lord like this brother🤍🙏🏼🔥🔥🕊 may God bless him and his loved ones
I belong in the Father's arms! No more Satan. I draw a line in the sand. You can not have my life! I belong in Your presence. Father God. Jesus I pray for an encounter by You. Father I'm sorry I haven't been what You called me to be. For my short comings. I lay it all down and surrender. Come invade every room in my house. The keys are Yours. Come Lord Jesus
Thank you so much for this passionate, glorious, incredibly informative and inspiring experience and teaching. At the end of 2023, I heard God say, “Come up here, slow down and rest in me.” I drove across the country to a friend’s with a quiet place for me to enter into greater intimacy with God, but have felt much resistance from my flesh. Thank you for your vulnerability and beautiful example which I have deeply enjoyed this evening and plan to continue both here and when I return home… just what I was praying for! What a powerful gift to have received while seeking Him… faithfulfaithfulfaithful!! Thank you as well, for your obedience and devotion… you are bearing much fruit and it’s multiplying!! 🙌🏼🍒🍓🍇🍎🍉🍍🥝🍊🍌💝
"Feelings are like farts"! - Chris Garcia -- Classic! Glory to God! I get that way a lot of times, I thank Him for being here with me EVEN if I don't feel Him! Know what happens next?? I start to sense our Father! 😇😇🥰🥰🥰Almost instantly too!
Was with you live this morning and am back for a second round!! Thank you for explaining “waiting” and explaining that you too sometimes struggle with morning prayer and that it’s the flesh. I always blamed myself, a lacking I knew not of and couldn’t get past, the guilt would eat at me and I found myself spending the day in condemnation (even thought I know better, and will never happen again due to your sharing) what you shared was the breakthrough I must have needed as I spoke quietly in tongues for the first time ever during this mornings live as I was in group/my waiting session. Your messages were weaved so cohesively and beautifully. This morning and again this afternoon as I watch I received the knock down drag me out of complacency blessing I needed. Praise be to The Father , Praise be to The Son, My Christ King Jesus, Praise be to the Holy Spirit of All Truth for the Revolutions I received today were manifesting through your love for the Father and your obedience of His word to deliver!!! Thank you Chris, you are so appreciated,loved and respected. Today has truly changed me!!!
That part about not striving into enter His presence is EXACTLY what I needed to hear!! Thank you! I have walked through so much legalism and I'm finally breaking free! Thank You Jesus!
I want to say THANK YOU!!! What I had not been doing. Is to get in the presence of God, and NOT ask him anything. No request of him. To sit at his feet. To be like Mary and not Martha. My prayer time later I can bring request.
From the time I heard your wife warning. Joined the prayer the next day. Since that day without fail, I spend one hour in his presence no prayer required. Just sitting in his presence worshipping.
When you start the program praying, I close my eyes and start worshiping. This is the time to just focus only on him and him alone.
Today was a SWEET time in his presence. 4 different times just weeping. That the one who put the sun and moon in the sky. I get to just sit at his feet.
I start these worship sessions in the morning and they play at my desk all day. 28 minutes into this one and the tangible Presence is here (for lack of a better way to say it). Praise the Lord. 🤍🤍🤍
This was such an amazingly beautiful time spent with the Lord and a great teaching Pastor Chris along with some laughter's 😂💨 Love yall very much and thank you Jesus for this online family that i am apart of. In Jesus name Amen 🙌🏽🫶🏽
I am currently swimming in the peace of God effortlessly through this stream 9 days after and I am so happy I finally understood by the spirit how to be at peace and be still. Thank you for yielding Chris
“You can recite psalm 91 all day till you turn blue but until you DO the first verse it won’t work” yes makes perfect sense ! Thank you for explaining it to us the baby christians. :) god is good :)
