God's Holy Spirit and Fire
How do we hear what the Holy Spirit is saying?
Give Him the priority He deserves (prayer, reading the word, meditation etc.)
Be vigilant of what God has done
Ask Him to reveal things to you
Take regular time off social media
Our lives are very busy, with distractions around us every day. Such makes it easy to give God the backseat.
Remember to recognise what God has done in your life. Take your focus off of what is happening in the world and direct your attention toward God’s word.
If you’re struggling with hearing from the Holy Spirit, ask Him to teach you how to hear. Take time to read the word. It doesn’t matter where in the bible you begin, the Holy Spirit will eventually reveal something to you.
1 Kings 19:11-12 – Still small voice.
It doesn’t always happen straight away and it often requires practice. Gary Clements once said to put yourself in the shoes of the Service Leader. Think about the atmosphere. What do you see? What do you hear? If you were going to give a word, what would you say?
We need to realise that we are the sons and daughters of God, seated WITH Jesus Christ. God demonstrates His power through us. It’s one thing to be born again, and baptised. We also need to be baptised in the Holy Spirit and fire - Matthew 3:11, Hebrews 1:7.
When we are fired up, it’s noticeable. People can see it on you, the passion and excitement are tangible and can be felt by those around you. It’s associated with God’s presence.
Last of all, build yourself up. Remind yourself that the Holy Spirit likes you. The Holy Spirit likes being around you. It doesn’t matter where you are, or what you’ve done. God can bring you back and reignite the fire.
