Today I am sharing part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on the importance of setting times to spend with the Lord on purpose as your priority in life.

The Holy Spirit wants you to begin setting time on purpose to meet with Him to be taught and instructed in righteousness. I know you will say that you give Him time each day, but He wants you to now prioritize the time you take with Him and bring structure to it. Make it as a compulsory set plan each day just as you do concerning your job for your employer or business you run.

Make it a priority just as you are never slack concerning being at work on time because you are looking to be faithful to your boss or your business profit. You work faithfully to ensure your salary is paid each month. So for that reason you will even wake up earlier each morning to ensure that you are available to start your day of work for your employer to demonstrate your commitment to the role. Luke.9:3.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to develop a new mindset to apply concerning your walk with the Lord as this fresh stance shows how much you value your relationship with Jesus and the benefits it brings into your life. Your commitment and dedication is demonstrated in what you are willing to do to please the Lord. Exodus.20:3.

In Luke.5:16 we read these words about Jesus : However, He made a practice of withdrawing to remote places in order to pray. Now you can see from this passage that Jesus made withdrawing from people His practice to find deserted places so that He could pray and spend time with the Holy Spirit to know what He ought to do because that was His priority. John.5:19.

Now we know that Jesus was primarily sent to help people because the Father sent Him to the earth to save the souls of men. For that reason you would think that His practice would be to withdraw from God as He was no longer in heaven and spend time with the people because that is how He would be able to reach them by being with them and convincing them to change through much fellowship time ministering to them.

However Jesus’s practice was to withdraw from men and pursue God to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then from the overflow of being with God gave man what he needed. This practice worked perfectly and enabled Jesus to accomplish the plan of God to the letter and avail us of so great a salvation. No wonder why the disciples asked Jesus in Luke.11:1 to teach them how to pray.

For some reason we seem to believe that giving the Lord a set,  prescribed and arranged time is a crime or bondage. It has almost become a fallacy in our belief that we can afford to be slack concerning our time with the Lord because doing things for people is the priority.

Well Jesus said that we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness then all the other things will be added unto us. Jesus also said that except we deny ourselves daily, take up our cross and follow Him we cannot become His disciples.

Well I have just pointed out what Jesus made His practice and we will need to follow that practice if we are truly following Him and want to please Him because that is what He did which cannot be denied. Matthew.16:24.
