8.22.18 – “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."
