I was told yesterday of a Church member who attended an evangelistic training course. She was so greatly impacted that the next day she went to work and began speaking with a colleague who she had found it particularly hard to relate to over the years. The conversation resulted in her leading her colleague to Jesus.
Isn’t that amazing?!
And it is happening in many places. God is using His people as vessels in His hand. He has called us to Himself and then sent us out into the world in partnership with His Spirit.
In every renewal the result is a release in mission to everyone in the world.
God uses us. And it is wonderful.
“Israel is swallowed up; now she is among the nations like something no-one wants. For they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.” Hosea 8:8-9
Read it again slowly.
When you are impacted by a renewal of the spirit:-
- You become opposite to people who are not wanted. You know God wants you! “now she is among the nations like something no-one wants”
- You have no need to go to any other place or person other than God. “For they have gone up to Assyria”
- You don’t wander because Gods gives you purpose. “like a wild donkey wandering”
- You are not alone for He is always here. “wandering alone”
- You live a separate life not following the cultures of those who are not walking with God. “Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.”
