“Vance Havner asks the question -- How
do you respond when the Holy Spirit hits a "spiritual nerve?" Some
are dismissive or defensive while others are derisive. Some get angry while
others are arrogant. What is the Biblical way to respond? When God speaks whether
we like the message of not, we ought to listen. "He that being often reproved, and hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be
destroyed and that without remedy." Proverbs 29:1 We must hear and
heed His voice!” S. E. Trail
My
prayer for you today is for you to have a heart that is sensitive to the touch
of the Holy Spirit.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. KJV
“The
two thousand member church was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday
morning. The preacher was ready to start the sermon when two men, dressed in
long black coats and black hats entered thru the rear of the church. One of the
two men walked to the middle of the church while the other stayed at the back
of the church. They both then reached under their coats and withdrew automatic weapons.
The one in the middle announced, "Everyone willing to take a bullet for
Jesus stay in your seats!" Naturally, the pews emptied, followed by the
choir. The deacons ran out the door, followed by the choir director and the
assistant pastor. After a few moments, there were about twenty people left
sitting in the church. The preacher was holding steady in the pulpit. The men
put their weapons away and said, gently, to the preacher, "All right,
pastor, the hypocrites are gone now. You may begin the service."
