Amidst the Masses

The presence of the Lord is everywhere the person is, with the exercised spirit. Last Thursday I was in a busy crowded New Delhi railway station. I arrived well before the scheduled train time. The platform was so disordered. On my right side were quarrel-some goods loader, fighting for which cargo bags to load first into the cargo train bogie. On my front were hapless passengers waiting for train, lying down on the floor on a bed make-shift. On my left were groups of passengers with luggage. There I was, amidst the masses.

Amidst the masses I was contacting the Lord in my spirit. The presence of the Lord was so sweet that the outward "disturbances" were music to my ear, tuning me to my spirit. The Lord as the Spirit filled me, and burdens upon burdens were released, very specifically of my own family; for the restoration and recovery of their normal function in the church life. The time spent was so enjoyable that I didn't notice the passage of time. Soon my train arrived and I boarded it, heading for Chandigarh for the preparatory work for the Gospel preaching and the raising up of the church.

Quite time was what most Christian practised, but even in the midst of bustling noises of all sorts, from announcement via loud speakers, untamed tongue shoutings, train horns sound, etc... one can hear the voice of the Lord by turning to the spirit, exercising the spirit, enjoying the Lord. There should be no excuses based on outward circumstances, though outward things does matter, but most importantly is the exercise of the spirit, calling upon the Name of the Lord, touching the Lord and being touched by the Lord. Such must be the experience of every normal Christian. Apart from these, a Christian life may out-rightly be just religious with many do's and dont's. 

Lord Jesus, may we always live in the spirit.
