SPRING FORTH NOW 2024

Now, it happened that while Apollos was away in Corinth, Paul made his way down through the mountains, came to Ephesus, and happened on some disciples there. The first thing he said was, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Did you take God into your mind only, or did you also embrace him with your heart? Did he get inside you?”  “We’ve never even heard of that—a Holy Spirit? God within us?”  “How were you baptized, then?” asked Paul.  “In John’s baptism.”  “That explains it,” said Paul. “John preached a baptism of radical life-change so that people would be ready to receive the One coming after him, who turned out to be Jesus. If you’ve been baptized in John’s baptism, you’re ready now for the real thing, for Jesus.”  And they were. As soon as they heard of it, they were baptized in the name of the Master Jesus. Paul put his hands on their heads and the Holy Spirit entered them. From that moment on, they were praising God in tongues and talking about God’s actions. Altogether there were about twelve people there that day.

Acts 19:1-7 (MSG)

Often we find ourselves at intersections of life where we must make decisions that constructively build toward the what should be for our life, although equipped with knowledge and experience yet we are unsure of the outcome because it is beyond our control.  Because we can not control the situation with our knowledge and be assured it will work out the way we think, we hesitate and remain where we are, giving up on the more that is rightfully ours and that which God has provided.  To avoid being stuck on your intersections, Try The Spirit By The Spirit and see if it is of God, and flow in your traffic of life, Open Up the Way to your God-provided destiny of abundance.  Flow in the traffic of your life to the what should be and by your faith in God’s promises and provision rooted and grounded in you, God’s Spirit, and though it has no substance or form, it will be your evidence of what should be flowing from the inside out to Open Up the Way.
