The Holy Spirit is not old news | Jonketydskrif's Blog
I know what you're thinking - it's old news to talk about the Spirit for all teenage workers knows everything about the Spirit and He works through everyone. It's just the charismatics launch window talking about "blessings", "waiting for the Spirit" and "filled with the Spirit". We know better than that and "industry" youth ministries in our dependence on Him. Or not?
How cliché as it may sound - the last time I became aware again of the Holy Spirit and what it means to be freer in spirit to serve. He obviously is always with me, but now I focus really space to that through my work. And to create opportunities that his body works.
Everything started with the confession camp. Instead of just talking launch window about things, we have created a space in which the teens gifts could "test out" and practiced. We have exposed them to a variety of gifts (the so-called bonatuurlikes) and practical and straightforward. And it was an amazing experience been. Teens serve each other, and instead to focus on what they each could receive more focused on what they could give. There is comfort, prophesied, shared wisdom, healing, serving, etc..
So the big question -dis easy to make room for the Spirit working in a camp, but how do you get it in a one-hour launch window service launch window right? I decided to see what happens if I preach every week on an aspect of the Spirit's action and then room for practical application during the service. For example, I teach about prophecy and all learning and practice to prophesy. The positive response was overwhelming, but the service was almost 2 hours long! I love when a next healing service, then evidence, so it becomes easier (and shorter). Last Sunday when I would preach from Ephesians 4 and I realized I had no idea what an apostle is not. After the week's wrestling I started the sermon by asking who apostles, prophets, etc., and of course there is little launch window response. launch window When I explained everything as simple and straight as I can and give everyday examples. At the end of the service everyone had to choose which of the five versions of their fit. I allow all the apostles launch window put together, and the prophets, the pastors, teachers, evangelists each meeting. What an experience when everyone realizes they have a gift and a role to play in the Body. And an apostle 15 years or 50 years old can be. And that apostles (and all things) in our church!
The journey continues, but it's exciting. I use a nice course, but rather encourage everyone to start serving. I have no idea where it all leads, but I know nothing can ever be the same again.
