Notes & Thoughts

 Crestview service on ACTS

"Watch and see where God is working and join Him" Henry Blackaby

Acts 6:1-7 I am one of the seven I write

Where is God working in my life?

Holy Spirit Study

• Intercessor

Harvest House Production?

Hebrew 7:25 | Roman 8:20-25 | Roman 8:28-29

"To make us more like Jesus"

• Intervines, 
• addresses

HARD REALITIES: 

God uses sufferings to conform us to His image. 

Suffering > Endurance > Character > Hope

• We know the whole creation groans | REDEMPTION OF OUR BODIES 

"Bondage to decay" | 1 Corinthians 2:10-12

"Heaven's help to my hurt"

How do I know when the Holy Spirit is helping me in my weakness ?

Have you ever ran out of words to describe what you're going through?

What is an intercessor?

Wordless?

How do we understand how things work together according to His purpose?

What is it you're seeking?

"

How can I bless you?"

The Power of the Holy Spirit by Dr. Tony Evanss

"The Intercessor" (cont)

"He allows aches, pains, and bruises to produce a new perspective"

"The end result of all flesh is death"

"Knowing that the spiritual realm goes beyond the walls of our five sense" [conversation with Kim]

"The Holy Spirit helps the most when you're at your lowest,"

"It's always better to hope in God than to trust in yourself."

"He creates a vocabulary that fits the environment that needs to hear what you have to say"

Thoughts:

• I want to listen to more voices from foster care
• God has a specific will for my life

Isaiah 29:13 | 1 John 5:14-15

"The Holy Spirit's role is to help us conform to God's will - providence

Miracle: God transcending His laws (skips, cancels, etc)

Providence: God works within natural laws to stitch things together to weave into place in alignment to His will

"If God is stretching you, pressing you, and allowing all manner of difficulty to happen to you - and you love Him - then be assured He is seeking to conform you to Christ."

Thoughts:

• I want to memorize Stephan's sermon
• I want to memorize 1 Corinthians 1
• How do I change my emotions within decisions?
• Holy Spirit will you pray for us when we don't have the words to pray for ourselves?

"He will take your inarticulate expressions of anguish and turn them into a powerful prayer to God because He knows God as part of the Holy Trinity."

• How does this look like?
• Isn't instant relief what we're really hoping for when we pray?
