Let’s us begin this quiet time by entering the secret place of the Most High, our spiritual core. This is the place God has designed within us, to hear the still small voice of Christ and experience ‘Stillness’. Effective personal prayer is listening to indwelling Christ of God and obeying God's will. Allow your thought to slow down as you gently and lovingly invite your indwelling Christ to have mastery and dominion over your ideas, thoughts, intentions and actions.

Prayer:

We now share this prayer together.

Almighty God, you has given us the capacity to search out and use the wonderful powers and spiritual laws of your universe. Grant to each of us the sense of responsibility and love for the Christ and the Holy Spirit and their work in all you creation. May we use Spirit’s power, your Law and Christ’s revealed Truth to cross out the prevailing dominion of the false-self systems of the mind of the flesh.

Give us the power and spiritual discernment to effectively use the Christ-centered love and non-violent principle and practices which Jesus taught. Help us to practice the virtues which you have placed within our spiritual core, to anchor and further establish Your Kingdom on earth as it has always been established in heaven.

Devotion:

In St Luke 9:1-2 we read these words, “When Jesus called the twelve disciples together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons, and cure all diseases and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.”

In Acts 1:4, 5 and 8, Jesus admonished his disciples, “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit…But you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth”.

Jerusalem is symbolic of the Holy City, the mental / spiritual habitation of spiritual peace within the spiritual core of each person. Judea is symbolic of the state of consciousness in which we allow the Mind of Christ to have dominion and greater expression of Divine spiritual power in our lives. Samaria a city in northern Palestine, is representative of the state of consciousness within us where great spiritual work needs to be done and the activity of the Christ Mind and the Holy Spirit have greater reign from the City of Peace within each soul, heart and mind.

This mental-spiritual center of power is mankind’s ability to receive and bring into manifestation Christ-centered change in perception, intention and action. It is the latent capacity for motion, achievement and the complete manifestation of the higher Self. The transforming power of the indwelling Christ and the Holy Spirit are always present though often hidden, within the spiritual core of each person.

It is important for us to remember that we should open the door of our hearts Christ's spiritual presence and power This power is principally for use on ourselves rather than on other people. Christ-centered believers seek to lead others to personal awareness of the power of the indwelling and incarnate Christ of God and the Holy Spirit within their own spiritual core to transform and regenerate their own lives.

The goal of the Christ-centered believer is to honor and glorify the Holy Spirit, proclaim the indwelling and incarnate Christ of God as Savior, Lord and Master. They seek to further anchored kingdom of God within each person and in our midst [Luke 17:20 -21].
