As a Pastor and leader, I am always trying to live in a open place where I can hear from God. I have this weird feeling often that it’s my place to help confirm and instruct others in what God is speaking…I know that sounds like a load of ….
Recently God has been speaking really loud in a few areas of my life. My first thought was to write these things down in my moleskin and to be ready to share it with someone in my life. God has spoken to me for me to share it with someone else, they needed to hear it.
I can not tell you how many times I have been in services when the speaker has said that God has spoken to them to then share it with others. I do agree that God does give insight in His Word and the Holy Spirit will lead us to share that insight with others. There is a fine line between God giving me revelation for me and God giving me revelation for others. I am trying to learn that difference.
The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to bring glory to Christ, but also to convict us of sin. I have found that people don’t like talking about conviction of sin…
I have such a long way to go…but here’s a thought that I can’t shake off:
The Holy Spirit will convict me and grow me in my weakness, that is not for others, that is for me.
