The Presence of God
I love the presence of God! Over the last few weeks we've been experiencing something of an increase of God's presence in our meetings. People are getting healed and God is doing amazing things. The challenge for me is not to limit what God wants to do because I haven't experienced it before in my own life. In Acts 10 Peter initially responded to God based on his past experience. But he eventually obeys God and opens the door for the gospel to spread to the Gentiles. As we experience the presence of God in our lives and in our times together we have a choice to respond out of our past experience or to be door openers to the presence of God impacting us and those around us, even if we haven't experienced it before or are uncomfortable with how it looks.
