Guest Teditis Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Is it possible not to be? I mean we are after all spiritual beings and we have the Holy Spirit indwelling us and keep us "open" to some degree or other... at least I think so.

We are hearing a new message beyond anything that we have heard in the past. Our part is to be spiritually open and receptive. "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches... After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in Heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, 'Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.'" Revelation 3:22, 4:1 We become increasingly aware of the "Open Heaven" that has always been available to us, through which the "Son" can shine brightly to release the potential that is buried within us. For this to happen, we must respond with anticipation, expectancy, and patience. ALBERT FINCH MINISRY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Lords Prayer Matthew 6:9-13 "Give us our daily bread". This means that God will sustain us physically. This can also refer to God providing for our less tangible needs. Jesus is the Bread of Life John 6:35. God fulfills our spiritual needs. We are living day by day and step by step. We are exercising simple faith in Him.
