NO MORE "WHY"'s, obey.
Through the Book of Acts
[Acts 10]

Acts 10:29
29So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?"

If only we would be so sensitive to the Holy Spirit that we just do what we are asked to do. When Peter just "went for it", he was able to preach the Word to the Gentiles and they received the Holy Spirit. Cornelius, the centurion of the Italian Regiment was also sensitive.. If only we would heed what we hear and see the visions of God in directing us on what to do, things would be great! But why does this not happen?

(1) We sometimes do not like to associate ourselves with others - race, gender, status, etc. God has made everyone of equal value (as human beings) in His sight. We ought to share the love of God to all of them, not just to some. We become so consumed with our own "group" that we neglect others who also need to hear the Word.

(2) We are not sensitive enough to the call of the Holy Spirit in us. We need to keep a close connection with the HS to help direct us and guide us on what to do in our lives.

// Belle..

I need to show everyone equality with how I treat everyone - not just to those who are "easy to care" but even to those I may not be so comfortable ministering to. I will take heed of what the Holy Spirit tells me to do - thus, I must keep "watch" in my spirit what the HS is telling me. I want to be sensitive to the Spirit of God in my life that I will just obey immediately trusting that He's got things figured out (AGAIN!). I don't need to ask "WHY?" He knows what He wants me to do is what His will is at that moment.


:: Lord, again, You have spoke to me how important it is to just trust in Your Spirit in everything in us. I pray that you just guide me as I do my best to hear Your Spirit speak deep within me. I pray that you just empower me to minister to people around me, even to those I am not comfortable talking to. Please guide me Lord and wherever you lead me today, I pray that I will bring good news. In Jesus' name, amen.
