Day 5 AWAKE 21

Found myself wide awake at 4:45 AM today. I feel better and more in tune with the Lord.

John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice,, and I know them and they follow me.

Hearing God is difficult only because we do not deny our flesh. We must empty ourselves of ourselves and disconnect from the world around us (especially during a fast).

"Enoch walked with God three hundred years."  Genesis 5:22  WOW!! What a testimony. When we can walk in AGREEMENT & ALIGNMENT with God. It is one thing to know God's will for our lives; it is another to live in AGREEMENT with His will.

I believe firmly, that the moment our hearts are emptied
of pride and selfishness and ambition and self seeking, and everything that is
contrary to God's law, the Holy Ghost will come and fill every corner of our 
hearts; but if we are full of pride and conceit, and ambition
and self seeking, and pleasure and the world, there is no room for 
the Spirit of God; and I believe many a man is praying to God
to fill him when he is full already with something else. 
Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray 
Him to empty us.
D. L. Moody
