“Ministry must move forward… we cannot put SOULS on pause… the church (the people ,the mission ,The calling) cannot stop because of disease…
We must be open vessels of the living water of the Holy Spirit… God has called us to be salt & light, and water in this time…
This same relationship with the Holy Spirit that was so vital to Jesus, He desires to pour into our lives… He flows out of us to minister and quench the thirst of others…
God desires that a mighty river of His Spirit would be flowing in our lives, but sometimes we allow silt to stop it up… We need to dredge the junk out of our lives that preventing us from being the mighty Mississippi God desires us to be…
God expects that signs and wonders would accompany our ministries… not for any point of pride but to the awakening the hardened heart to the realities of God…
This is the test of a spiritual gift: does it glorify Christ, does it edify believers, and is it a positive witness to the non-believer…
The test of how truly “spiritual” a person is, is if they can receive correction…
Finally if we’re filled with the Spirit we need to enter into service praying, “God how would you use me to bless (edify) others and honor You…” We need to come ready to be used by God’s Hands…
Everything that is done in our lives and services should be done to the glory of God and non-other…
Every great move of God that I know of started with the people that came together and surrender to God, making Christ the center of their lives, and freely open themselves unencumbered to be vessels of the Holy Spirit…
They didn’t become spiritual Superman, wholly perfect in all ways, but simply, humbly, surrendered to the desires of God within their lives…
The heart of this begins with trust… do we trust that God truly wants the best for us… even if that’s contrary two are comfortable fleshly desires… do we trust that he will catch us when we take leaps of faith…
Are you willing to allow the Holy Spirit to be as living water within your life… flowing into a world that is in desperate need of His life giving Spirit…”
