And those of you who take the time to draw aside unto the Lord and dwell in the presence of God shall surely, shall surely be rewarded. There are those who care enough about God, who want God, who are hungry enough for God, who draw aside, that are going to be full of the power of the Holy Spirit.

You have no idea how it thrills the heart of God when his children come aside and they start talking about the Blood, and they start talking about living a pure life, and they start talking about the power of the Holy Spirit, and they start talking about how they want him to dominate the churches, and how they want his presence night and day. Oh, you have no idea how much it excites the heart of God to hear his children longing after Him and talking about doing things the way he prescribes them.

There’s going to be a presence of God swelling in your heart and I’m going to cause a hunger to grow in you. You are going to become like ravenous wolves inside when you cannot get enough of the presence of God. I’m going to bless you for coming to my House. I’m going to bless you for taking the time out of your life to come and make the Lord a priority.

Your hunger is being increased, saith the Lord. Your hunger is being increased, and that means you’re going to draw after me more and more and I am going to be able to bless you more and more and more; and it’s going to become so normal to you to spend a night and a day, and a night and a day, and a night and a day in prayer, that you’re going to wonder why other people don’t do it! And you’re going to look at them as the oddity, instead of you being the oddity; they are going to become the odd one.

You are going to become as it has been said already, “Swans together in a Lake.” It will be very normal, saith the Lord, to draw aside for a day, 2 days in prayer. It will be nothing for you. I will cause you to glide across the waters of God in prayer, and you will begin to spend hours, and hours, and hours communing. As it has been said, “An Evening with God” – a communion with God – and the blessings are going to spring forth in your house and in your life because of your communion with God.
