Hold On

Published by Tom Echelbarger under Pastor's Corner

Well beloved, according to what happened Sunday we will need to strap in for the rest of the season. It appears that Holy Ghost wants to show us who is boss, and we decided to let Him.

Now I’m not complaining, it’s just that it looks so different around here that you might not recognize the old place. If you’re looking for something not the status quo, I guess this would be the place.

Holy Ghost has stepped it up a notch in the house with the promise of an accelerated increase each week. Now that promise comes with a catch, we need to yield more to Him each time. In the middle of all that wild time with Holy Ghost, He said that it’s not the people’s desire that moves Him to use us but instead whether we will yield to Him. So our mantra will need to be “more of you and less of me”.

It’s times like these that define a body, will we release all the things that are familiar for that which is unknown? Well I vote yes. I would rather have Holy Ghost in the service for a minute than a known song or sermon or report. It’s time that we live in the unseen things of God.

As God moved in the service yesterday I got a birds-eye view of why Brother Seymour put a box on his head during the Azusa Street Revival. I believe the truth is that there was so much going on in me I didn’t want or need to see what He was doing in anyone else. Quite frankly I would have been better off with my head covered. Oh well, you never know where God will go next so you’ll just have to come on by and see.

We love you Pastor Tom
