When the
Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on
his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.
On Mondays in the
past I have shared what I called a “Monday morning mind dump” where I share
some of the things going through my life and mind. I pray something will hit home with you in
what is shared.
But I want to
start with just a little over flow from the sermon I preached yesterday at The
Community Fellowship. I believe with all
my heart that often we put off talking about the Holy Spirit, the third person
of the Trinity, because we don’t understand or we have been taught poorly in
the past. That may or may not be true
about you.
The verse I
began with simple says when God sent His Spirit that He would give us and guide
us in to true as well as reveal the future.
It is a fact that when the Spirit is in our lives and we are following
Him that there is often more power and peace from God in our lives. That is something I desperately need as you
do.
How much my
life and yours is changed when we allow the Spirit of God to be an important
part of our lives. This Spirit is
literally God. This God desires to be part
of our lives and to bless us.
When we allow
our enemy, Satan, to distract us, we will miss some of the greatest blessings
that god has for us. The overflow of
following the Spirit is seen in the love of God in our lives, the fruit of
Spirit in our lives and the gifts of the Spirit are being used.
Since we are
living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
I want to point
you to Pastor Robert Morris as a message
he shared on the Holy Spirit greatly influenced what I shared and gave me lots
to study.
Now on to the
mind dump portion of today’s post. Seems
to me that winter has come to a screeching halt and spring has sprung. There is so much to praise God for and the
future is bright. Here are some things
running through my mind:
-- I am
grateful for all the people that helped with our Winter Warming Shelter this
year. Many people were helped and many
people served. What a blessing!
-- Our middle
child is working hard on getting in to college, and now we all wait to hear
what colleges and universities she will be accepted by. This is exciting!
-- Easter is
less than 2 weeks away, and I cannot wait to see what God does in many lives.
-- Each week I
get to meet with a small group of men and share a Bible study. It is amazing to not how the enemy is so
unhappy when people, especially these men, choose to unapologetically follow
Jesus.
-- With spring
around, summer is getting closer, and our family is excited about it. Lots of great days ahead, but many of those
days are unknown yet. Another reason to
let God lead each of us.
-- We are
praying for several things. Some are
doors we are asking God to open.
-- Praise God
that we have almost reached our goal of $25,000 that we began just before the
beginning of 2016. God is so good.
-- Finally,
pray for those who will attend Damian Ferrell’s funeral as I have the opportunity
to share the Gospel with them today. I
take this seriously and ask God to speak to many who need His grace and those
who need to be Saved.
Have a great
day, and thank you for allowing me to share these posts with you each week day. I pray our lives will point many to Jesus!
