SENSITIVITY
I always wondered what exactly it meant to be "sensitive" to the Holy Spirit.
What if those familiar 'goosebumps of His presence' didn't show up? What if when I close my eyes I don't see anything?
I used to think: maybe He's not here after all. Then I met Jacob in the Bible at Bethel, and he said this:
Gen 28:
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; AND I KNEW IT NOT. 17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
A troubled Jacob on the run from his angry, murderous brother did not know when he had arrived in God's presence... Not until he rested and allowed God to show him a vision higher than himself and his problems. (Mind you, to be hunted by a hunter is a pretty big deal... Just not to God)
Now this is not an invitation to sleep in His presence ��, it's a Word of encouragement. When you come before Him, do not magnify your troubles: He's solved worse.
Rest in Him.
Let Him show you the higher vision.
That is how to BE SENSITIVE... Then get up, and set up a pillar (Gen 28:18), do whatever it takes so you do not forget your encounter.
Jacob walked over 14 years on the strength of that vision. Don't give up now.
