BEING DRAWN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
There are many times in my life when God has drawn me toward a certain thing within the church generally speaking which has not excited me. It is usually something that I had never done before. Being drawn into doing something through the power of God's Spirit is different from anything else that I have ever felt. I remember when I first was convicted of my sin as a kid, and the draw of God's Spirit came on me to take the next steps toward a more complete relationship with Him. It was not a pleasant feeling, but more of an urge to get this thing done. It was a kind of haunting feeling that I could not hide from, and I remember how relentless it felt to me.
I don't feel as though when God starts to call you to Him that there will ever be any kind of rest within your heart until a decision is made one way or the other. Since that time I have had many chances to be pulled back out of His hand by the world and by all of the things that in my base desires as a man I would have wanted, but my heart could not allow my body to follow. The Holy Spirit has been faithful to God's purpose in my life no matter if I have wanted that or not, and I believe that there are many others out there. Those who have been called in that same way who are still fighting to not give themselves over to the Holy Spirit because they know as I know their lives will never stop going deeper. God works that way many times...He will not stop the demands to go deeper and further with Him until there is nothing of who we were left.
I want to say this to you today...the Holy Spirit has a job to be done within the body of Christ in waking up people like you and me to the work that He wants to do through us. I know that we are set apart from the normal worshiper for a reason. Those of you whom God has continually called to come back and share these thoughts with me are very likely among those whom God is dealing with right now.
You need to know that you are being called for a reason in these later days before Christ returns to be a spark that lights the hearts and minds of others to wake and see the truth of God's word. The Bride of Christ is not this great number of people that you may think it is...it is a small group of people who have dared to stay faithful to the original message that Jesus taught and the Good News that God has sent through Him to those who have had the ears to hear and the eyes to see. God has given me a message that I need to share with you this coming week. It is a message coming directly from the Holy Spirit through me for this coming week...so take heed of it. I will be in prayer for you as I ask that you will pray for me. I feel as though our time is very short before the final phases of God's plan will take effect...may you richly bless God through your life in Him.
