Conviction of the Holy Ghost

Wow! What a week!

We concluded wonderful meetings in Graysville Tennessee at the Graysville Church of God. Pastor Jimmy and Rene Talley are being used by God to transform an entire community!

There were people in every service walk the aisle and confess Jesus Christ as their Savior! Many were filled with the Holy Ghost, but also, many were reminded why we are a Full Gospel people: the Power of the Holy Ghost is still real!

I noticed in every service, at every altar call as the conviction began to move among the congregation, young people and children were immediately the first to raise their hands! I sensed the Lord whisper to me, "…don't listen to or watch adults and their interpretation as to what I am doing; watch the children!"

Isn't that what Joel 2:28 and Acts 2:17 says? When the Holy Spirit is poured our the first responders are young people and children!

The reason more adults do not sense the convicting power of the Holy Ghost is they have sat in service after service while He has moved among people and resisted His call to come closer…so He moves on to deal with people who will respond to Him!

God help us not to become so familiar with your Presence we begin to despise Your moving among us!
