Complete
So I lift my eyes to You, Lord
In Your strength will I break through, Lord
Touch me now, let Your love fall down on me
I know Your love dispels all my fears
Through the storm I will walk on, Lord
And by faith I will walk on, Lord
Then I'll see, beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete in You.

well i think. with all the hate and grudges and crap going on, thought i'd like to write a lesson for all. this really helped me a lot and now, i think i'd like to share it. this is an excerpt from Rev. Kong Hee of City Harvest Church.
When the Holy Spirit is around, there is a very strong presence of God. You know He is there. You can sense Him. You can feel Him. Your heart starts to melt and tears begin to flow down your cheeks. Sometimes, His presence is so overwhelming that your limbs give way under the weight of His glory.
Unfortunately, religiosity has diluted our walk with God to a non-experience. Religiosity has reduced God to a mere moral, philosophical entity. Some even try to highlight that we don't need experiences ; all we need are just the "success" principles of the Bible. But what;s wrong with "feeling" God's presence? If feelings are bad, then why would God give you emotions in the first place? Why would God give you a spirit and not allow you to be spiritually alive towards Him? Of course God wants you to feel Him!
In the Bible, the Holy Spirit is likened to the wind, which means that you can feel His movement. He is likened to the fire, which means you can feel His warmth. He is likened to a river, which means that you can feel His flow. He is likened to the rain, which means you can feel him falling on you. He is likened to an atmosphere, which means that His presence can unmistakably permeate the whole room you are in.
Moses was so hungry for God's presence that he was willing to scale the rugged terrain of Mount Sinai to spend time with God. And he spent 40 days and nights in that presence, in which he received the vision for God's house - the tabernacle.
The Holy Spirit wants to speak to you everyday in visions and dreams. Get spiritually hungry and, by faith, enter into His presence in your daily devotions. Do not be satisfied at where you are, but desire for more of God in your life.
