Mat Practice: https://youtu.be/PeL3v8ncjQA (53:30 min) Mat Yoga Around the Broam Home: The Green House Effect #5 -- Light the Fire -- The Holy Spirit
1 Corinthians 6:19 -- The Holy Spirit of Christ dwells within you. It gives you the power to love, to be just, to work for peace, and to care for the creation.
“In me there is a light, and it lights the whole world. It radiates truth, boundless will, action, and knowledge.”
Romans 8:28 English Standard Version
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Song~
Fountain Flowing -- Deep and Wide
Mountain Standing -- Tall and Strong
River Roaring -- Swift and Loud
Lake Looking -- Still and Calm
Ocean Tides -- High and Low
“Light the Fire” ~ Ed Kilbourne
I stand to praise You
But I fall on my knees
My spirit is hungry
But my flesh is so weak
Light the fire
(Light the fire)
In my soul
(In my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(Fan the flame)
Make me whole
(Make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Where I've been
(Where I've been)
So light the fire
In my heart…
May God give you peace for every trial. May God give you courage for every mile. May God give you comfort and be your friend and give you life eternal, life without end.
