A move of the Sprit

God has provided His people with the supernatural ability to be led by Him thru the indwelling and infilling of the Holy Ghost. It is by the power of God's Holy Spirit that we are able to walk in the Spirit filled with supernatural power and ability to accomplish His will for us on this earth.

He has provided for each of us a supernatural supply of information, power, wisdom, strength, and more. It's available to every Christian simply by knowing and accessing it by receiving the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

-He gives us power.
Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you..."

-He helps us in our challenged areas.
Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps us in our weaknesses."

-He lives within us.
Ephesians 3:16 "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with
might by his Spirit in the inner man."

God has made available to every born-again person who receives His Spirit the following:

-Supernatural Power-Acts:1:8
-A Supernatural Supply of the Spirit-Philippians 1:19
-Supernatural Guidance-Romans 8:14
-Supernatural Help-Romans 8:26
-Supernatural Strength-Ephesians 3:16
-Supernatural Peace-John 14:27; Philippians 4:7
-Supernatural Protection-Psalm 91; Psalm 34:7

However most Christians have little or no knowledge of the fact that these gifts are available to them, nor do they understand how to access them or use them.

1 Corinthians 2:14 declares:
"For the natural man is not able to receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them or understand then, because
such knowledge comes only through the Spirit."

To often people are so busy looking for the spectacular that they miss the supernatural moving of the Spirit of God. More often than not they sense God's presence and many even realize that God is attempting to move by His Spirit but they just don't know how to yield to what he is endeavoring to do.

We must learn how to recognize and understand when the Holy Ghost is moving and how to yield to Him when He does. If we can do that we will begin to see a move of God anew throughout the church and our nation.
