Spirit-filled Stories in the Storm

     Standing on our faith, finding stillness and peace within chaos, believing the sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) even when we can’t see the answers and finding contentment and satisfaction in any circumstance; these are all the work of the Holy Spirit of God.

     The Holy Spirit’s power and work are supernatural. When we have spiritual eyes, we can focus on eternal purposes and move beyond the temporal. Only with God is it possible. I have heard testimony after testimony on the power of God through the years. The comfort and peace of the Spirit as a loved one dies. A peaceful contentment when facing our own mortality. Finding purpose after a disability is diagnosed. Being transformed after an abusive childhood. You have heard the stories too. You have some of your own. Our stories are meant to be shared. How has the Holy Spirit worked in your own life? Have you seen a prayer answered? Experienced a miracle? Prayed for a stranger? Loved an enemy? Tell your stories to others. Jesus is meant to be shared. The Spirit works in the storm and walks with us until the light bursts through the clouds again.

Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story-those He redeemed from the hand of the foe.  Psalm 107:2

Father,
You have given us Your Son. We all have stories to share about His abiding love. Let the Spirit’s power give us courage to speak.
In Jesus name

Amen
