How will I respond? Brent Phillips – Encounter Houston
2 timothy 1:6 "This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you."
When did he receive the gift? When he had hands laid on him, the laying of hands is something that is very important. Something special happens when we lay hands on others like God has told us to.
Is there something you have let go of or have forgotten that needs to be fanned into flames again? Maybe it was missions, sharing the Gospel with loved ones, healing, prophecy etc..
God wants to use you we just need to have our flames fanned once again.
It is amazing what we allow ourselves to get use to once we live with it for a while. We have become to use to living like normal human beings that we’ve forgotten that we are sons and daughters oh the most high God.
What is considered normal behavior in the Kingdom of God isn’t normal behavior on earth. We need to realize where it is that we really come from and not conform to a world that is telling us to go another way.
Where are we today when it comes to the word of God? Does God’s word still have the authority to change our lives or do we hear a sermon that stretches us and we think twice about it because we just aren’t sure.
Acts 19:1-6 "While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior regions until he reached Ephesus, on the coast, where he found several believers. “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” he asked them. “No,” they replied, “We haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” “Then what baptism did you experience?” he asked. And they replied, “The baptism of John.” Paul said, “John’s baptism called for repentance from sin. But John himself told the people to believe in the one who would come later, meaning Jesus.” As soon as they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied."
When we come to Christ we are sealed with the Holy Spirit for all of eternity, but God has so much more for us to encounter and to pull out of heaven that we didn’t know was there.
God’s word has laid it out for us so clearly if we would just read it with fresh eyes and an open heart instead of depending on commentary to do it for us.
Are we willing to experience the things of God that we have not heard of with the chance of going to even greater places that we have not yet experienced or will we allow our unwillingness to to stop us at the door?
