Simply Follow

Power Surge is a group of people praying together; encouraging each other to follow Jesus by inviting the Holy Spirit to take control of our lives. While I was on my usual run last friday, the LORD clearly spoke to me to gather the group together for a trainingcamp. The LORD did not tell me what or how, I just had to gather the group together for a sporty training at a beach in Rotterdam. So I send out a message to the members; I expected complaints, but that did not come.....

The group showed up at the beach. It is interesting to note that the members were not dressed properly. They expected it to be a jogging camp, because I am a runner. God usually take things from our daily lives and teaches us how things works in our spiritual lives. God took this opportunity to teach us many things. The LORD was clear that this would be a trainingcamp. The members came equiped with the wrongs shoes and their bags. They expected to run, but still ....

Their expectation was to run. We ended up doing just 4 minutes of jog and talking about how we can glorify God and praying. We sometimes have expectations of what God expects from us on the basis of circumstances or how God had done it in the past. When we have expectations or depend on the circumstances, we might walk away from Gods calling and the blessings that come from following Him. God is creative. His ways are incomprehensible.

God is good. His ways are good and His plans for us are good. When we calls us, His information is not much but clear enough to guide us. We sometimes add information to His. His message is simple. We make it complicated by adding and adding. We like to take the lead instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to be our Shepherd. God is simple. Simply follow HIS lead!

Thank you Father for granting us the Holy Spirit as a sure deposit for what will be given to us. Lord make me willing to surrender all to you! In Jesus' name, Amen
