Attune Yourself to His Spirit

You might argue, with evidence to support, that the Spirit of God is all but absent from our world.  Especially this Christmas.  You could be right.  If doom and gloom is all you see, right now, I’d like to ask you; “which spirit are you focused on?”

Without question, evil exists.  God, as subtle as He is, however, is far more powerful. I have a special invitation for you; Will you join me on an investigation, of sorts?  Your mission, should you choose to accept it: For the next 24 hours, attune yourself to His spirit.  What do I mean?  Intentionally look for evidence to support that the Spirit of GOD is active, in your life.

Here are a few observations, from my own life:

I do not have a printer.  One that works, that is. Neither does Kim.  Frequently, we send our printing to be done by a local company.  The manager of the print department knows me quite well, by now.  Today I went to pick up our order.  She politely rang in the amount and I paid her.  She paused for a moment, before turning to go.  With a beautiful smile, she said, “Merry Christmas!”  This, alone, took me by surprise.  But what happened next, made the tears well up in my eyes; “God bless you,” she said.  I don’t know if she is a believer, but she knows that we are.  She found it in her heart to give me God’s blessing, today.  I prayed, with gratitude, for two broken printers.  God is sovereign!  Over everything.

Minutes later, I arrived home to find a voice mail from the librarian at Tae’s school.  She knows I am selective in what I let my son read.  She called to let me know about some books she had set aside especially for Tae, to read over the holiday. I prayed, with gratitude, for someone who understands. God cares!  Even about the little details.

Jadyn got engaged to a beautiful girl.  Her name is Cherise.  They will get married next July.  This December, Jadyn will finish his third year, at school.  He made the Dean’s list.  Cherise is in her final year of Social Work.  They are both working hard at school and, in addition, they both have jobs to help them, financially.  Recently, they both became the recipient of Government grants.  I prayed, with gratitude, for a beautiful daughter-in-law and that God is taking care of my kids. God provides. For all of our needs.

Radical Love, is going to India. Who would have thought?  Our good friend Renata, along with her son Matteo, leaves this morning.  The two of them will spend time in Northern India, in an orphange called, This Child of Mine.  Pray for them.  Renata will speak to a group of young, 20′s something, girls about “true” love. She will teach some of principles of Radical Love, through her own personal testimony.  Each girl will receive a copy of the book, and hear a podcast message, from Kim and I. I prayed, with gratitude, for technology. I prayed, with gratitude, that God found faithful believers, who care enough to carry heavy books in their backpacks, all the way to India. God speaks!  Throughout all the earth.

You can follow Renata and Matteo on their adventure, via their vlog, and even make a donation, if you like.

If you’ve chosen to be a part of this special mission, to attune yourself to His Spirit – I’d love to hear about the evidence you collect. Attune yourself to HIS Spirit, because He is active, in your life too!

Merry Christmas!
