Where we should be.

Just finishing off my sermon for Sunday morning - speaking on the Power gifts of the Holy Spirit. See my part of concluding notes below:

Gal 3:5 ⁵Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith….^ESV

Therefore, the One who is constantly supplying the Spirit to you in bountiful measure, and constantly working miracles among you, by means of law works is He doing these things, or by means of the message which proclaims faith? Wuest

God was sending a constant supply of His Spirit to the church, an everflowing torrent of His fullness being poured out upon His bride! A constant working & operation of miracles amongst them! Ongoing, not hit and miss but constant! God working in and amongst them! What was the basis for this happening? Faith!

-----------------------------------------------------------

I have to take a long hard look at this - are we as a church like this? If not, why not? We know something of the moving of the Holy Spirit but where is the bountiful measure of His power & presence? Where is the constant working of miracles? O Lord, I see in your Word what we could be like and I see what we are like - there’s a discrepancy! I can’t point the finger at others in the church; I have to examine my own walk with God and my own heart. Lord, where I need to change, help me to change & give me the grace & guts to follow thru’ with the changes You highlight.

This isn’t just summat I’m praying for now as I write this but something I need to pray into, seek after and pursue. 1 Cor 14:1 ¹Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. ^ESV
