Listening to the Spirit

and following...


A friend of mine has just found out that he probably has a rather serious medical condition. He told me tonight that that he got a call this morning. It was from a college friend who he hadn't heard from in a very long time - probably years. The guy that called him said, "I woke up this morning about 2:00 AM and felt like I should pray for you. I prayed for you several times in the night."

Yeah! There you go. Someone hearing the Spirit of God speak to them and then following through on what he heard. I'm afraid that too many times we hear that "still, small voice" and we decide that we just thought of that ourselves, or it would be too embarassing to call or too uncomfortable to do whatever it is God is prompting us to do.

Galatians 5:25 - Show Context
If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.

Be brave! Listen to what the Holy Spirit says to you. FOLLOW the Spirit.


And when you are living by the Spirit, walking in the Spirit, we'll see these things in your life that Paul said earlier in that same chapter - 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
So let's see some fruit out there! You can do it!
