Holy Spirit Day

We have been learning more week by week this autumn about the Holy Spirit and what he can and will do in our lives if we invite him to work in us and direct our lives.  It has been an exciting journery with many people seeing the Holy Spirit at work in their lives in a new way.

Isn't it great when we are able to tell stories of what God has done not in the lives of some person in some far off place, but in our lives right here in Ashtead?  Many of us have been given new stories to tell over these weeks to bring glory to God.

Over a hundred people drawn from across all the congregations spent yesterday looking to learn more and to see even more of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.  God promises if we seek after him he will be found, and he proved himself faithful yet again yesterday.

Charles Nelson did a great job of teaching through the day, showing how the Holy Spirit has been at work from the first moment of creation.  How he worked in individuals in the Old Testament, but how since Pentecost he has come to live in all believers and followers of Jesus.  If you have given your life to Jesus the Holy Spirit lives in you.  The only question is how full you have asked him to make you, how much of your life have you opened up to him.

We finished by asking the Holy Spirit to work afresh in our lives and he did.  Many received a fresh touch of God, a fresh blessing and in some cases a fresh challenge.  Funny how God always loves to answer the prayer, more please God.
