The Spirit for all Ages

2 Timothy 1:3-7
📜I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit
God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.📜

Let us pray for our Five people who need to know Jesus. Through our prayers over the past few days, may they feel the power and love of what the Holy Spirit can do in their lives 🙏

The Spirit of Evangelism

Acts 8:26-35:
📜The Spirit told Philip, ‘Go to that chariot and stay
near it.’Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ Philip asked. 'How can I,’ he said, ‘unless someone explains it to me?’ So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him📜

Every day, we come across new people. We don’t say hello to all of them and start a conversation, but why is that? Because we're busy, or is it difficult to put ourselves out there with just one new person, let alone many.
But what about the Five people who need to know Jesus. God isn't telling us what to say, or how to say it – he just wants us to start the conversation so let us pray for the confidence to listen and respond to the call of the Spirit – to put ourselves out there, and start a conversation with our Five.🙏

The Spirit of Sovereignty

Matthew 3:13-17:
📜Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. But John tried to deter Him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?’
Jesus replied, ‘Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfil all righteousness.’ Then John consented.
As soon as Jesus was baptised, He went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.’📜

Humility is what brings the Spirit to descend on us, for ‘Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.’ (Matthew 23:12)

So let us pray that the Spirit of sovereignty would grant us true humility, and that we may serve our Five people who need to know Jesus. Let us come to them with a servant’s heart, as Christ served us.🙏

The Spirit and Leadership

Judges 4:3b-5
📜They cried to the Lord for help.
Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was
leading Israel at that time. She held court under the
Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill
country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided.📜

In this story, the Israelites were crying to God for help, and they recognised that the Spirit was speaking to them through Deborah, and so they looked to her for leadership.

Let us pray for our church leaders, Gay and Andy. We pray that we open our minds, hearts, ears and eyes to what the Holy Spirit is saying through their ministries.
We pray that in listening to the voice of the Spirit, they may help us share the love of God with our Five people who need to know Jesus 🙏
