A Room Prepared [Friday, February 24, 2012] "For I am preparing you as a room for My Spirit to dwell and manifest in power," says the Lord. "Yes, even as the anointing is preparing you to bring the meat of My table to the nations of the world, you will bring My wonders to many lost in darkness. For I have qualified you to bring them into the light!" Prophetic Scripture: Mark 14:15 - And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. I believe the upper room, where Jesus shared the first communion meal with His disciples, was more than just a physical location. That room had prophetic significance and meaning. It was a preparation place for the coming of the Holy Spirit. It was the place where Jesus taught them a new level of communing with the Father. Then in Acts Chapter One, we find the people gathered in the same upper room anticipating God's Spirit to come upon them. I believe every believer, should be an "upper room" believer. That means we make our spirit a preparation place for the Holy Spirit to manifest His works. Not just the works of good character, but also the works of power and anointing! So, how do we create our "upper room" for such a purpose? Well, just the way Jesus did with His disciples, we make our heart a place of communion. That could be the literal communion meal, but also as a place of communion with the Father in worship and prayer. Then, like the people in the book of Acts, we wait for the move of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We do that through prayer and also by expecting the miraculous. The early Christians were not just taking a nap the day the Holy Spirit fell! They were waiting. The word "wait" in Acts 1:4, literally means to stand in a place of warring expectancy! In other words, you are doing whatever is necessary for the power of the Holy Spirit to be on your life and you will have it no other way! You are determined to manifest the gifts of the Spirit according to 1 Corinthians 12. You pray in the spirit and covet that type of supernatural anointing, just the way the early Christians did. If you will commune with the Father and wait for the Holy Spirit this way, you will become an "upper room" believer prepared to bring the power of God to a dark and needy world! Prayer: Dear Lord, I make my spirit a room for Your Spirit today. I open my heart so that I may manifest Your anointing to the world. Prepare me as I wait for You. Teach me, Lord how to commune with You in the "upper room" of my spirit. I receive that anointing upon my life today! In the Name of Jesus, Amen!

Heb.6: ⁷ When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing. ⁸ But if a field bears thorns and thistles, it is useless. The farmer will soon condemn that field and burn it.

⁹ Dear friends, even though we are talking this way, we really don’t believe it applies to you. We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation. ¹⁰ For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers,^[b] as you still do. ¹¹ Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. ¹² Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.

God’s Promises Bring Hope

¹³ For example, there was God’s promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in his own name, saying:

¹⁴ “I will certainly bless you,
and I will multiply your descendants beyond number.”^[c]
¹⁵ Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.
¹⁶ Now when people take an oath, they call on someone greater than themselves to hold them to it. And without any question that oath is binding. ¹⁷ God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. ¹⁸ So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. ¹⁹ This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. ²⁰ Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Nu. 23:19

¹⁹ God is not a man, so he does not lie.
      He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
   Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
      Has he ever promised and not carried it through?
²⁰ Listen, I received a command to bless;
      God has blessed, and I cannot reverse it!
