Podcast 29.1 Transcript

Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let's think about this.

Hover o’er me Holy Spirit

And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. Acts 2:3 ESV

The Spirit came to the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. Like flames of fire He hovered over each one of them. He wants to come and hover over us as well, but we must position ourselves like the early disciples. Are you waiting on the Holy Spirit?

Bathe my trembling heart and brow

…God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:5b ESV

We wants to do more than hover over us, He wants to bathe us in His presence, cleansing and purifying us so we are prepared to serve Him. His Spirit ushers His transforming love into our hearts and changes us. Ask the Spirit to bathe your heart and mind.

Fill me with Thy hallow’d presence

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.   Acts 2:4 ESV

Your experience of the Holy Spirit may not be identical to these disciples who first received Him, but it need be no less real. The filling of the Spirit is a mark of God's presence with us. Do you long to be filled with the Holy Spirit not matter what that may look or sound like?

Come O come and fill me now

And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31 ESV

When they prayed…they were all filled. Again, the place where you are gathered may not shake, but God will certainly stir some things in your soul. Prepare yourself to receive the Holy Spirit by simply praying for His holy presence to fill you.

Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the Refrain.

Hover o’er me Holy Spirit

Take the mindfulness of God's presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond.  Until next time, Be Resonant.
