WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - March 15, 2014
Wayne and Julia went with me to West Central. One of the residents opened up in prayer and then we went into video worship. Wayne delivered the message on "Who Do You Depend On?" using test from Exodus 33:1-3, 15-18. He opened up with the questions "Will we be dependent upon ourselves or desperate for His Spirit?" In the test, God told Moses that He would give His blessings but would not go with them. How would we respond to this? Unfortunately, most people want the blessings but don't want to do the work to have a relationship.

Four reasons we need the Holy Spirit:
1. We have an assignment we cannot fulfill. We need the Holy Spirit to make this happen. Only God can do it.
2. We have a privilege we cannot forsake. John 15:14, 16:12-15; Exodus 33:7-9 We don't have to wait for a representative to meet with God. We are "in the tent" meeting with Him face to face. We live in His Presence. How can we forsake this?
3. We have a "family" we cannot forget. Exodus 33:14 God says His Presence will go with me. In the 15th verse it sounds like Moses did not hear Him, but actually Moses was concerned about the people (his "family"). We should have that same concern about others.
4. We have a God we cannot fathom. Once you see God's glory, you want more and more. The Holy Spirit guides and leads us into all truths.
All of the ladies came forward for prayer because they wanted to be more desperate for things of God.
We dropped from 35 the prior week to 18 this week because of Daylight Savings Time and yard call being twice a day now. I understand with all of my heart that the ladies need their time outside, but I also know how much they need the Word of God. Please keep our services in your prayers and the ladies at West Central.
