21 "As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever," says the LORD. Isaiah 59:21 (NIV)
38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 (NIV)
Just returned from a bible study - a short two week precursor to assist leading our church in a Fall study. This study is about the "Gifts of the Spirit", or as some have called them "Spiritual Gifts", but this is not the "125 question survey" either. Wonderul words of truth flowed in this study this evening... hearts were filled with the power of His grace and mercy. Truly, a humbling evening.
What I have learned in just one evening surpasses all previous groups I've attended.
The Spirit is 'The Key", the Resurrection... the proof!
AWESOME!

Like the wind going from here to there, you feel it, you are enveloped in it, it moves you, you know it's there,......now try to explain it to the person behind the window!
God's blessings on your relationship with The Holy Spirit LV ! |

Thanks, Tom!
That is true anytime we try to explain things of the Spirit to those who need to know the truth... explain the concepts of 'love' or 'faith'...
Sometimes our words are not enough... all we can do is cry out with our spirit, "ABBA!" |
