Things happen around us that can cause us to overlook the work of the spirit in and around us!
Look around you, the answer to your issues is closer than what you think! In a form or nature that you least expect.
How many times perhaps the spirit wants us to experience his grace and power through “non-conventional” means but we are so focused on something else that we miss it.
The Holy Spirit is not a what, but a who. He has the nature and mind of God
The ministry of “coming beside”: sometimes we feel completely overwhelmed with the idea of “ministry”. We don’t feel qualified/experienced/worthy enough. But one of the ways the spirit moves is simply “coming besides someone”.
Never underestimate the power of presence. There is someone who needs your “presence”, someone who needs to feel God’s presence through your life, your spirit. NOT NECESSARILY YOUR WORDS. But your spirit counts more.
There will be plenty of opportunities to share the Gospel, keep your “spirit” open. Don’t be afraid to be bold about your faith
There are 3 vital components that make this account such a great example for us.
His word is our pivotal point. It is our benchmark and our compass. We can’t ignore it
His spirit “whispers” to us, urges us and guides us in all that we do.
Your obedience
Are we willing to leave a legacy in the lives of people by simply just obeying God’s spirit?
