Subject: Can we hear GOD? |
Bible Note: Thanks for your reply Doc!!! One thing I must also ask is this: As a child of God walking as closely as I can with Him, do you think the Holy Spirit causes us to take action to do something we really have no desire to do?? For instance again...LOL.....Our Student Minister at The Presbyterian Church I belong to has a two point charge, meaning she preaches at two churches every Sunday. I feel so led by the Holy Spirit in my life right now, that she as a student Minister has told me that when I speak to our congregation she can sense the Holy Spirit working through me. I gave many lectures at various churches about my mission trip to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina and when I spoke at my last lecture in a church I never was in before, I noticed my speech led my student Minister to tears and she was sooo proud of me. I'm not trying to boast here at all, so bear with me to the end of this note. I felt The Holy Sirit guiding me to write. Not just write speeches but write a book, so I did. This book is in no way to be published but may be copied, unedited and given to anyone who is in need of Love. Anyone who has been a victim of child abuse or on death row or living on the streets or has a drug addiction may find it helpful to read and it might just lead one lost soul to find true Love that is given through Christ Our Saviour. This book is flying around all over the U.S.A. right now and I have many more I will be sending it to in the near future. Finally back to my question..... I also feel led to write an insert every week into our church bulletin and the other church bulletin that our Student Minister is in charge of. I felt very reluctent to do so. I felt it was something I did not have the wisdom/knowledge/experience or desire to do so. I prayed and prayed for guidance from the Holy Spirit over this matter and asked almost daily for God to lead me in what to do or say over this according to his will. Well, the answer came and I all of a sudden lost all fear of writing in the bulletins and every week. I ask for guidance on what to write and I find it soooo easy to write. What I write about is a topic, for instance last week was about God and War, this week is going to be about the Holy Spirit. Each week my insert is one page/double sided in print. The insert is never proof read before hand by anyone. So far I feel on top of the world doing this writing as I have recieved phone calls from both congregations, e-mails and hugs and comments at the end of services over my writings. So do I think the Holy Spirit has guided me to do these writings each week although at first, I grumbled about it and didn't want to do it? The answer to me is a definite YES! I sometimes don't get what I'm going to say till Saturday Night but The Holy Spirit always gets me to write something in time for Sunday. So do you or any others believe, like me that we can be led by the Holy Spirit to do things we really wished we were not led to do? And isn't GRAND that we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us to make those decisions we would never consider making ourselves with our own human minds. Love Mouse |
