When the Holy Spirit stirs - the unfolding saga...
The New Birth
John 3:3 "You must be born again..."
The Wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to you but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes...
Speaking of the sovereignity of God's Spirit, and how He operates. Speaking of the sovereignity of God's new birth, and how the new birth is totally in God's hands. Even the faith to believe is given by grace. We are merely recipients.
When the Holy Spirit begins to stir within a person or an assembly, it is so crucial that humility is sought for above all fruits. The things of God are heady. They are exhilirating. And our flesh is weak. The flesh can react in ways which may not glorify God. And so it is required of the church to immediately teach humility when the Spirit is stirring.
Since that Wed night in the Bukit Jalil Putra stadium, on 23rd July, when I attended the Rodney Howard-Browne night meeting, I know that a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit has come upon me.
The following Sunday, the Holy Spirit stirred during worship when Jessie was leading, and during ministry, the Holy Spirit touched many. It continued through to the following Wed, July 30th, and I distinctly remember that even though I was tired from work, it was easy, and I was even touched to slight tears during worship and prayer.
Even when I attended Banner of Love on Aug 14th, I again experienced the touch of Holy Spirit during worship. I am finally beginning to learn of the Spirit; to learn His moves of waves during certain times, and I long to discern His waves even during work.
Yesterday, Aug 15th, Jessie and I attended Bro Joseph's father's memorial - Bro Robert had passed away that morning. Usually, services of this type - when I am spiritually dry that is - are so difficult to endure. This time, as we worshipped, I again felt His lightness, and it was easy to sing and worship. That's what happens when the Holy Spirit begins to stir.
Right now, all I want and desire is more of Holy Spirit's presence in and through me, and around me. I know I need to be cleansed of stubborness, and areas where I have yet to surrender to Him. Anxiety over finances is a big thing, and I want to surrender this to the Holy Spirit. To spend hours in communion with the Holy Spirit is another desire. To be led by Him in prayer, intercession and worship. To be used by Him to glorify Jesus by sharing the Gospel of the Kingdom clearly, boldly and with compassion to all. To pray for the sick and cast out demons, to the glory of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom is what I truly desire.
It had been my desire for some time to discover where the Holy Spirit was moving in definite tangibility. To my joy, the Holy Spirit is now stirring in FGA Selayang. I earnest desire is that the Holy Spirit will increase His presence in FGA Selayang, and the glory of His presence will cause the Kingdom of God to expand mightily in and through this assembly. May this truly be a season of great refreshing which will result in many people coming to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and being set free from their bondages, being healed, and walking with Christ in victory, and serving others.
MORE !!! LORD !!!
