Do God's Work and all Your Needs will be Met | Fri May 23, 2014 12:22 am by Camille | God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.
Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

| "Practicing His Presence – In Our Daily Experiences" by Rick JoynerOct 4, 2015 Preface Steve ShultzFrom the desk of Steve Shultz: More than ever do we need the Presence of the Lord in our midst and in our daily lives as Rick Joyner shares from the life of Brother Lawrence. Brother Lawrence served as a lay brother in a monastery in France in the 1600s, and many Christians recognize him for his intimate relationship with the Lord and sought him for guidance as Rick shares here: Brother Lawrence became so well known for his profound peace and joy that people from all stations in life started coming to him to seek spiritual guidance. Let this story from the life of Brother Lawrence encourage you to go after this deep fellowship with the Lord in your own life... that others are drawn to His presence in you too! Enjoy!

"Practicing His Presence – In Our Daily Experiences" Rick Joyner, Fort Mill, SCBrother Lawrence Brother Lawrence was born Nicolas Herman in 1614 in the region of Lorraine in France. As a young man his poverty compelled him to join the army and fight in the Thirty Years' War. One day while beholding a barren tree in winter, he had a remarkable conversion experience. Like the tree, he felt dead but held on to the hope that God had a life for him. As he pondered this, the knowledge of God's faithfulness and love flooded his soul. He said that this experience gave him a supernatural clarity into natural, common sight.
After being injured while in the military, he took a job as a valet. He later joined the Discalced Carmelite Priory in Paris, taking the religious name, "Lawrence of the Resurrection." Not having the education necessary to become a cleric, he spent most of his life within the walls of the priory doing the most common labor, working in the kitchen or repairing sandals.
In the religious circles of the time, a belief prevailed that one had to suffer and work through formulas to please God and find His grace. This is what originally compelled Lawrence to join the priory. He felt he must suffer for his failures. However, over time his "supernatural clarity" led him to simply worship the Lord in all that he did, even in the most mundane tasks. This led to one of the most remarkable lives of the peace and joy that we are promised in His Kingdom.
By Lawrence's own admission, it took years of difficult and tedious devotion for him to experience the Lord's presence continually. Even so, his perseverance paid off. He gradually began to experience His presence and see the Lord's glory in all of his labors and daily experiences. He was subjected to great drudgery because of his low position, but it was said that he became happier than a king. In this way he ennobled all labor, treating it as sacred when done as unto the Lord. (Photo via Wikipedia)
Brother Lawrence became so well known for his profound peace and joy that people from all stations in life started coming to him to seek spiritual guidance. The wisdom he communicated through these conversations and in letters became the basis for the book, The Practice of the Presence of God. Father Joseph de Beaufort compiled this work after Brother Lawrence died in 1691. It became popular among Catholics and Protestants alike, impacting such great lights as John Wesley and A.W. Tozer.
ElijahList Prophetic Resources Some of Brother Lawrence's Wisdom
"The time of business does not differ with me from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were upon my knees before the Blessed Sacrament."
"The Church's only road to the perfection of Christ is faith."
"Many things are possible for the person who has hope. Even more is possible for the person who has faith. Still more is possible for the person who has love. Nothing is impossible for the person who has all three." (Photo via Pixabay)
"We need to learn to be faithful in dry times. It is during those dry spells that God tests our love for Him. We should take advantage of those times to practice our determination and our surrender to Him."
"Our sanctification does not depend as much on changing our activities as it does doing them for God rather than for ourselves."
"The Lord is not so impressed with the dimensions of our work as much as He is with the love with which it is done."
"To be sure that we are doing God's will we must develop faith, hope and love."
Brother Lawrence insisted that constantly being aware of God's presence is necessary to form the habit of continually talking with Him. He asked for help every time he needed it, and it was his experience that God never failed to provide aid. The foundation of Brother Lawrence's spiritual life was the faith that revealed to him the exalted position of Christ.
