I went through a time of that, after a few weeks our pastor spoke of how G-d had been getting him up at 2 or 3 in the A.M. to spend time with Him. Been happening here as well, I notice after these times of fellowship when I go back to bed He gives the most awesome, insightful dreams.

There is something about the very early morning time.
So heavenly.
Seems like God hovers or something.
I say "hovers"....just meaning He is right there...very present.

I recall Jesus saying "I must work all the time because my Father works all the time".
Thank you for commenting and supporting, I am pretty much alone around here, no spirit filled Christians locally that I am in fellowship with.
CC helps a lot.
bless you in Jesus name

I have discovered the the bride seeks the bride.
There is a trail that leads to the remnant.
At the same time,the Bride kinda finds itself separated at times.
The times apart from the other members are times of molding and purging.
It is said. David was hammered like iron when Saul threw that iron spear at him,but God put iron in David as saul pursued Him.
We are in different seasons but somehow even the separations from believers can be so awesome when purpose is revealed.

Start with this video.
It will bring huge joy into your spirit!
I will watch it, Curry Blake at John G. Lake ministry, (jglm.org) teaches that if we are going to walk closely with Him we will be spending some time alone, and we know "alone" means away from people and with Him for He will never leave us or forsake us.

Just got into it about 12 minutes and have tears of joy already! Thank you kindly.
I am used to walking in His presence regularly, those around me feel His Spirit radiating and comment on it, giving me the opportunity to pray, and perhaps impart, "freely you were given, freely give".
I have heard it taught about revival. we won't know of it or experience it, unless we are part of it.

I agree, humility may be an attitude that's reflected in our actions. When Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites, their respond was bold, arrogant, defensive, and angry. Just the opposite of a humble person. Pride makes a person conceited. The opposite would be; "Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" (Acts 16:29-30). If you tell a proud person; "Your not to smart" you'll get a proud rebellious response. Tell a humble person "Your not to bright" and they might respond with a "I'm not ?" or "I know".
Perhaps humility is the absence of pride.. One thing I've learned is that if you can remove all pride, and I mean All Pride, its impossible to be insulted. That's how true humility is possible. and achievable. "Humble yourselves in the sight of the LORD, and he shall lift you up" (James 4:10)
Amen..can you imagine having that kind of humility, to the point of not being insulted? With His help, remembering it is all about Him, is our hope.
Maybe humility can demonstrate the strength of one's "psyche" while pride shows what the psyche is relying on, and this overdependence can become weakness
Is humility a good thing to be proud of?

no one would ever want to come to the end of themselves, instead ...
coming to the end of oneself is most likely forced by what God allowed to happen
