Have you felt the Spirit move lately? I have! I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit at the Fall Festival last Friday night and Saturday. I found myself conversing with complete strangers there who sensed it too…now I have new friends. Then Sunday with Gerson & Betsy Tejeda sharing their ministry with us I felt its presence. Sunday evening in a videotaped message of Bishop Violet Fisher many of us felt the Spirit move in a powerful way! I’ve spent Monday & Tuesday in Springfield at the final session of the Congregational Development Leadership Institute and God’s Spirit was present there in a powerful way. Even on my ride home Tuesday, I was overwhelmed by the unmistakable presence of the Holy Spirit in my car with me. I guess the point I am trying to make is that if you expectantly search for the Holy Spirit, you will not be disappointed. However, if you do not actively search hoping to finding the Spirit active, you will miss it. Even great revelations will be missed if you aren’t expecting. Yeah, we are temples in which God’s Holy Spirit resides, but that does not automatically guarantee an awareness on our part. We must seek, and when we do Scripture repeatedly tells us we will find (Deuteronomy 4:29, Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 7:7 to name just a few). So have you felt the Spirit move lately? If not, why haven’t you been expecting?

Oh to be there rather than here! We need a rekindling - keep us in Prayer!
