I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.
Sometimes we look at our lives and wonder why certain doors haven’t opened yet. Why things seem to be taking longer than we expected. Why we’re still waiting on the thing we’ve been praying for.
The older I get, the more I realize that God isn’t nearly as rushed as I am.
Looking back, some of the things I thought were delays turned out to be preparation.
Maybe God wasn’t saying “no.”
Maybe He was getting me ready.
For the last several weeks we’ve been talking about the Holy Spirit, not just what He does, but who He is. His presence, His leading, His voice, and His role in our everyday lives.
This Sunday we’re taking the next step in that journey and beginning to look at the gifts He has given to His people.
We’re starting with a message called:
⚡ ORDER BEFORE POWER ⚡
🔹Because before God releases power, He often develops character.
🔹Before He entrusts influence, He builds integrity.
🔹Before He promotes, He prepares.
As we begin exploring the gifts of the Spirit, one thing is important to remember:
We are not called to chase gifts.
We are called to pursue the Giver.
Paul says seek after Prophecy for that is to Edify, Exhort and encourage the body.
The gifts matter, but they were never meant to replace intimacy with God.
When we seek the Giver first, the gifts find their proper place.
I think this message is going to help a lot of people who feel stuck, overlooked, forgotten, or like they’re in a season of waiting.
Maybe your current season isn’t a delay.
Maybe it’s preparation.
Maybe God is doing a deeper work in you before He does a greater work through you.
Would love to have you join us this Sunday.
