Follow The Spirit Of God With Surety

Often, we know that we have to follow the Spirit of God, but we do not know why and how. God reveals things through His spirit, and unless we're determined to obey the calling of gospel, we'll not hear from the Holy Spirit in greater clarity. The Spirit of God is always upholding us in all situations and He gives us power, love and self-discipline in all things and in all situations. And it is the Spirit of God that gives us compelling convictions in life, such that we find purpose and convictions from Him in our regular routines and daily works. No matter what constraints we have in our lives and evangelism, they are every reason to drive us into total reliance on the Holy Spirit so that we can see the infinite God in our finite situation. When we see the clarity of God's leading, we will be compelled to submit to Him and have increasing pulse to finish the gospel race in this end times.

1. The traps of Comfort.

  • “Suffering”: Abstract
  • The problem of “not having problems”
    • Resistant to even little inconveniences
    • Stay in comfort zones
  • <Lk 9> 23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
  • Spiritual battles faced in comfort:
    • People proud toward God (no need for Him)
    • God-loving spirit put to sleep
    • Flesh is stirred up

2. Be intentional about carrying the cross in the midst of comfort.

  • [one slide] Cross and Comfort: Opposites or Correlated?
  • If we do not carry cross intentionally:
    • Devil will get us
    • World will consume us
    • Many things other than God will influence us
    • Accusations grow
    • Get listless about “God-stuff”
    • Evangelism becomes non-urgent
  • People who want to live by the truth will remain in a constant state of battling and tension
  • Carry the Cross: Centre on God, Gospel and Kingdom 

3. The importance of gatherings.

  • <Heb 10> 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
  • <Mt 18> 19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
