His Presence

"Before we can truly discern the presence of God, we must recognize the gentle blowing the precedes His presence. What is this spiritual phenomenon? It is the Holy Spirit subduing the activities of the earth for the Lords approach. If we attain the power needed at the end of this age, we must learn to detect, without great signs, the whisper of Gods wind. He will not fight for your attention; he must be sought. He will not startle us; He must be precieved. It took no special skill to discern the earthquake, the fire or a great storm. But to sense the gentle blowing of God, our other activites must cease. In our world of great pressures and continual distractions, the attention of our hearts must rise to the invisible world of Gods Spirit" (1 Kings 19:12, Heb 11:27). - "The place of Immunity" by Francis Frangipane.
