The Holy Spirit and Something More
Feb 01, 2011Last night, I spent time going through old membership records with Graz Mann. We found membership books all the way back to the turn of the 20th Century, even with references to the church organizing as a group in 1855! It was like unearthing buried treasure!
As I reflect on our history, I see we had periods of strength and periods of decline, but overall, our membership stayed consistent through the years. I praise God that we have a wonderful church with a rich history! Still, it makes me ask the question, does God want to do something more here?
In Acts 1 and 2, God told His disciples to come together in unity and He would send the Holy Spirit. When this mighty power came on them, they were able to do an evangelistic work that is unimaginable – 3,000 people coming to Jesus in one day! What does He want to do among us now?
Ellen White says, “There is nothing that Satan fears so much as that the people of God shall clear the way by removing every hinderance, so that the Lord can pour out His Spirit…” (Selected Messages, p. 124).
Please join me in prayer that every hinderance will be removed in us so that we can be filled with His Spirit and share the message of Jesus with all who need to hear! What an exciting time to partner together with each other and the Holy Spirit for the salvation of many!
