Wonders of the Holy Spirit

Cell group was awesome today. Today's the first time we have it on a Friday. There was ministry and a short time of praying for each other after that. I shall blog about the short yet significant prayer session because it really impacted me. We are suppose to pray for our partner(s) whom we don't interact a lot with without asking each other for our individual needs. In other words, we are suppose to discern in the spirit and pray for each other. The last time I did it was last year in SOT! But SOT one was more "hiong" of course, which makes the process more exciting! Nonetheless, it's always good to revive something which I greatly missed.

I was initially nervous, but prayed and saw 3 words in my mind. I then prayed along the line of the 3 words and allow the holy spirit to lead. To my amazement, it was accurate! And praise God for my partner who prayed and spoke accurately into my life too! How amazing is that! I was really excited after that! The manifestations of the gifts of the holy spirit are really great testimonies of how real and tangible God is in our lives! I'm really more inspired and convicted to move more actively in the gifts of the holy spirit, because it is so easy to neglect them or even belittle the power of these gifts when the comfort of settling in the natural realm is deceitfully satisfying. This experience really reminded me that we should integrate the holy spirit in our lives. It should not be shocking to see miracles emerge out of the prayers we make. In fact, we should expect them in our everyday lives as we walk together with the holy spirit, who gives His power freely to us. We will miss out a large portion of an exciting supernatural walk with God if we were to constrain our lives to the natural realm. That will mean totally missing out on the power of the holy spirit, and losing the ability to influence and be an effective witness. I'm really inspired to understand the holy spirit better and to walk closer with him.
