Who would have thunk that going to listen to Jazz would lead me to hear the harmony of the saints. As the musicians played drum, harmonica, piano, and all sorts of horns each playing their own part as if they were listening to the beat of their own inner melody, yet together harmonizing into a beautiful love musical.
If it had not been for Dick's high school friends inviting us that day, I would have missed the insight the Holy Spirit had planned all the time. As we find ourselves growing in Christ we realize we are all individuals listening, as it might seem to our own inner beings. However, if you look closely we will see each following with Holy Spirit's prodding. Together the body of Christ has many parts, many functions yet the SAME Holy Spirit who brings us into our divine purpose here on earth.
Romans 12:4-5
Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are all parts of his one body, and each of us has different work to do. And since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others.
1 Corinthians 12:4
Now there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but it is the same Holy Spirit who is the source of them all
It was as if the lead harmonica player was Christ and the rest chimed in as believers playing their part in divine destiny here on earth. I wish I could have saved that music so that you too could hear the beauty of it. Next time we are with the body of Christ, look and listen to the different facets, talents, and gifting the Holy Spirit has given to each and how each make up the whole body of Christ.

Inspirational Thought by Dick Evans

The Same Spirit
Romans 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. (NLT) As believers we know Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to live in each of us. He is our comforter and our guide throughout this walk we are on. Paul refers to Him as Christ within. When we are about to do something in the flesh, the Holy Spirit gives us that nudge making us think again, hopefully before we acted. With His help and our yielding that our character gradually changes to be more Christ like. Do we really understand who the Holy Spirit is? It was He who was in Jesus when he walked the earth as man. It was He who raised Jesus from the dead! Yes, the same spirit! Then why do we let our mortal man, our flesh, have so much power in our lives? We have within us the authority and power from Father God Himself. And all we have to do is listen. But we get so wrapped up in our little worldly things we do not pay attention to that voice within. Oh, we do listen from time to time. But how often? How many times are we so motivated by our human desires that we put up barriers so we can avoid the Holy Spirit? And yet, when things do not go the way we wanted we are quick to yank down those barriers and ask for His help after the fact. Shouldn't we ask, listen, and then act on what we heard? Instead we think, decide, and do on our own. Then we complain and ask the Holy Spirit for help to clean up the mess. If we would only seek first His face. If we would only ask His advice before stepping out each day. I wonder what our lives would be like then? |
