What an amazing God we serve! Greetings.
We’ve been experiencing a movement and awakening in our worshiping family. It’s been
exciting to see what God can do and how He loves us so much.
This month, I want to share with you something some of us have been talking about when we
meet together. We’ve been talking about John 14:15-17.
These are the words Jesus shared with his disciples the night before his arrest. “If you love me,
keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help
you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it
neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
What does this reading mean to you? How have you seen it play out in your life?
Jesus did start a revolution during his ministry and after his death. He changed the
world.
Jesus has not deserted us or abandoned us. He has done all the work for us. Then he left us
in the holy hands of the Spirit to teach and guide us, to empower and move us to rise and build.
This Spirit of truth is what every believer must cling to. The Spirit brings life to our faith.
The Spirit moves us into action. This movement might not necessarily be an emotional
feeling or a bright light, but it will move us and change us.
It’s not an easy thing to understand. Unfortunately, our world has to touch or see or feel
something before they believe it. Yet, when we believe that Jesus came, died, rose from the
dead and ascended into heaven, we are filled with the Holy Spirit.
Seek the Holy Spirit to fill your heart in your daily lives and feel the presence of Jesus all
around you. You will experience a revolution of the love of Jesus. Allow your heart and mind to
be revived.
Don’t doubt, but believe.
