Yesterday, on the way back to Norman, I listened to a Kris Vallatton sermon that really messed me up (in the good way). You should check into his stuff.
Today I woke up at 2:30 pm. Probably due to the things I've been opening myself up to recently, I kept going back to sleep and having more crazy dreams (more about dreams in the future). They were good crazy dreams, but I've been in some places of warfare recently that leaves no room for dumbing down the reality of who/what our battle is against.
A text from Phil woke me up the last time, asking me to help him with an errand. I hopped in the shower and texted him back, saying I was ready to leave as soon as he was. Then, after throwing some laundry in the washer and organizing some things in my room, I felt a clear call to be with the Lord.
I literally just stopped what I was doing and stood in the middle of my room for a few minutes, not expecting much, since it was so impromptu...
At first I was my mind wanted to wander (as it almost always does), reminding me to call Phil to make sure he knew I was ready to run errands with him, to make sure I knew where my rent check was, etc.. but I just kept getting connected to His Spirit instead.
Then it came. Once again, without fail, the peace of God came that settled my mind and made me almost drunk. I leaned on my desk and just kept allowing the Holy Spirit to just be with me. Not tell me things or teach me anything. But just be with me and I with Him. Gosh, that's so good (I'm gonna re-enter that once I'm done typing).
I sat down and jotted a few lines in my journal, thanking the Father for His Spirit communing with me.
Then, as soon as I wrote, "I love you." in my journal, Phil texted me back saying he was on his way to my house. I mean it was instantaneous. Not a few seconds later, but as soon as I dotted the period, my phone alerted me.

I say this to you for two reasons: one, as an encouragement. The Holy Spirit wants to be with you. He doesn't need time cut out of your day, He works with the whole thing. While your mind is ignoring the cares of this world to be with Him, He provides everything you need... even the small things.
Two, I'm recording this on here as a public declaration of the provision and goodness of God, so that as the Enemy (who is already on his way) comes to discourage me or thwart my intentioned plans, I can stand under this testimony. When the devil comes, I will ignore him. I will speak my identity over myself, not to him. I don't have time to waste speaking to him. But I will have this testimony to worship the Lord for, and that will be a weapon that will cost the Enemy for coming against me.
Paraphrased from that Kris Vallotton sermon: 'Make it cost the devil for coming near you. When he comes, stand and worship the Lord. Even if your heart is beating out of your chest, worship the Lord. Then it will be costing the enemy to come near you, because you take it as a call to worship the Lord - which is what he wants to keep you from doing.'
