Led by Cloud and Fire 7-27-10

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my face and open up my heart, as I speak out Your name and welcome in Your Spirit to begin this new day. … “On the day the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant; and from evening until morning it was over the tabernacle, having the appearance of fire. It was always so: the cloud covered it by day and the appearance of fire by night. Whenever the cloud lifted from over the tent, then the Israelites would set out; and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the Israelites would camp. At the command of the Lord the Israelites would set out, and at the command of the Lord the Israelites would camp” (Numbers 9:15-18). I spent seven days and nights last week, preaching at old-fashioned Georgia campmeeting out under “the tabernacle” and surrounded by “the tents” of those who came to experience Your Presence and encounter Your power to refresh and renew our lives. We came to tabernacle with You. And You came and “tabernacled” within us. You filled out hearts with the cloud of the glory of Your Presence and set us ablaze with the fire of the power of Your Spirit. Though most of the families had been coming for generations, each person was drawn there to camp “at the command of the Lord” by the drawing of Your Holy Spirit. And just as You led us to come, so You sent us out—not keeping what You have done hidden away in a camp, but carrying Your cloud and Your fire with us and within us wherever You send us. Every morning, draw me close to come to campmeeting in prayer with You. Let Your glory fill the tabernacle of my heart, let Your fire burn as tongues of flame over my head. Let me come and go at Your command through the wilderness of this world on my journey home to the place You’ve promised to prepare for me. May it always be so. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays Friends, thank you for covering us in prayer at the historic Lebanon Methodist Campmeeting last week near Gainesville, Georgia. It was an incredible experience in the campmeeting setting I'd never had before and the Holy Spirit meet with us all in powerful ways to empower us more for the journey ahead.
