Have you heard Francesca Batistelli’s song….HOLY SPIRIT…???

If you have attended a worship service in the past year or two you have most likely heard it or even sung it yourself.

It is a song that draws the one listening into close proximity to a prayerful worship attitude.

After hearing this song a few times
I gathered a whole new meaning from it.
Maybe you received this the first time you heard it.

It took me a few times.

I believe the deeper message that
Francesca sings is not about the
“atmosphere” in. a church building.

“Flood this place and fill the atmosphere” …..
to me is a call of invitation to the Presence of God
to fill the atmosphere…..

within me.

Within my heart.

In my spirit.

In my mind.

For if my heart,
my spirit
and my mind
is occupied by the Presence of God…..

I am in line to truly worship….
I am in line to truly receive from God.

It’s the attitude we need to have each time we walk into a worship service…. each time we approach God
in prayer.

In a corporate setting…
if it’s the atmosphere of the building
which is filled with Gods Spirit…
great things can occur.

If the atmosphere is extended to the inner sanctum if each individual heart, each individual spirit
and each individual mind……

then the room,
and each worshiper in the room
is at the place for God’s Holy Spirit
to truly be empowered,
glorified and exercised.

When Jesus’ Disciples were in one place and of one accord…… the Holy Spirit descended and
invaded not merely the room they were in….
but He invaded their individual
hearts and minds….

and that small number changed the world.

The next time you hear
Francesca’s song….
place your hand on your heart ….
and say the words ….
“Holy Spirit you are welcome here.
Come flood this place
and fill the atmosphere”……..

and allow that place to be your own
heart.

And be prepared to be invaded.
