The Spirit of God is a burning, sending, empowering force.  We cannot harness Him. We cannot use Him for our agendas.  We cannot impose our will on Him.  We can only let Him do what He intends to do with us.  We do not want to grieve Him or quench Him in His work.  May He sweep us along in the grand move of what He is trying to do with all humanity.  May we be an open channel through which this mighty River can flow.

“And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (NASB)
