Where has our expectation gone? There really is a weariness in well-doing. God has so much for us, and we sit doing so little.
We need the wildness of the Spirit unleashed in our lives once again. We need to surrender our desire for predictibility and ask the Spirit to blow as HE wishes!
“It is the reality and awareness that must permeate the church today if we are to recapture the dynamic of the Early Church. It is not the structure of the service that will affect this; it is the awareness, the desire for, and the cooperation with the activity of the Spirit by the leadership and by the congregation, in whatever form, that ensure this reality. He may refresh like the wind or convict like fire, speak with the tongues of men and angels, or, He may simply brood over the congregation to illuminate the spoken Word.” (J. Lowell Harrup, pastor of Northland Cathedral in K.C., MO.)
