Our pastor is sharing a series on Acts. I’m uber enjoying it. It is helping to transform me and my actions as well as my thoughts. I highly recommend it.
To hear yourself, you can visit the website via this link: http://orchardmchenry.org/about-us/messages-media. The series is well underway, but I haven’t posted about it until now. Not because each sermon hasn’t been good — they have. ALL of the sermons in the Momentum series are on the church’s website. I haven’t posted about Acts because I was distracted.
The heart touch yesterday was that we were in Acts chapter 4. It was about the Holy Spirit. An area which for many is confusing. What I loved was a quote he used, though the source is unknown. It was, in essence: “It is not that we need more of the Holy Spirit, but that He needs more of us”. I’ve been reflecting on that reality ever since.
I may have heard it before, but it didn’t strike me the same way. This time, I realized that I’ve been praying for some time about a certain area in my life. Trying to grow in one area by changing thinking patterns, and trying to grow in another area by shaking off a bad habit. Last night, as I was falling asleep, and praying (as per my typical pattern) – I suddenly had a thought interrupt my prayer.
What if God has already answered both of these prayers, but I haven’t been aligned with the Holy Spirit and given Him more of me so that He can empower me to make both these changes. Smack my head moment.
