And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. Luke 2:26 Simeon was a just and devout man who was waiting for the Consolation (the Lord’s Messiah) of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. Simeon...
When I wake each morning, I am in the flesh. That’s not a negative. Sleep is for the body and the soul. It is necessary to heal, process, rest, and digest. God is a Spirit, and He never sleeps or slumbers. To engage my spirit, I set myself to pray. Exalting the Lord,...
