Did You Ever Feel The Spirit Move within?


As I lay here and write this post, I am thankful for the Holy Spirit convicting me of my sins. In light, there is no darkness. I came home from worshipping my Lord, and I felt truly blessed to have them as my new church family. I know God has led me there to FHBC, Its like God is affirming all of my devotionals by Him backing up what is given through the message Pastor T gives. I am just like, "see that!" I come expectant of seeing and feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit move in and through each one of us in attendance, and the thought that as I look around the church there are many of my sisters and brothers for an eternity. To me, that just amazes me. Then I hear the pastor speak with authority of the Word of God and not be ashamed to say what he feels led to say, even those difficult things no pastor wants to address but yet pastor T still does. The message today was from Ephesians 6. It talked about the identity of the real enemy, and how the devil uses people, powers, and principalities to try and make us feel brokenhearted or defeated. Yet we should always be remindful that the day Jesus pain the price of all of our sins, the devil or any if his adversaries have no power over us in Christ Jesus' blood. Its only when satan catches us off guard today, like me, and uses my mouth to speak some really nasty things to a someone. I didn't feel remorseful at all or the need to repent when it first happened, but when I acknowledged how my actions ruined my testimony for Jesus I realized that it hurt my witness of who Jesus is and how His love transforms people livesinto something far greater than ever.
