Inspirational Nugget: Philo Farnsworth
One of the men credited with inventing television was only 14 when he came up with the idea. He had an epiphany while plowing his family’s farm in Idaho and sought advice from one of his teachers on how best to make his blackboard sketches a reality. Farnsworth transmitted his first image in 1927 when he was 21 years old.

Hot to Receive the Spirit – Delight Yourself in Him
Psalm 37:4 King James Version – Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
…in the Lord, the key phrase here is, ‘in the Lord’, we delight or make ourselves happy in many ways, but the bible is saying it should in the Lord.
We discussed about desire yesterday, which is our first action towards receiving the Holy Ghost (ghost is same spirit). But be to continue we need to delight ourselves in Him so that burden or desire in our hearts be filled.
This might not come on a silver platter, it takes conscious and deliberate effort to surround yourself with the right environment, people and mind-set to be able to be filled or receive the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost is atmosphere dependent, even in our hearts, there are times we cannot do anything to keep or have an atmosphere to host the Holy Ghost, but let your heart be focused on the Holy Ghost at all time and delight yourself.
Confession
In the Name of Jesus, I delight myself in the Lord and my desire to receive and walk with the Holy Ghost is a reality now, amen!
