A man came to our house today to make a recommendation on some work we wanted to do in the unfinished basement.
Pam brought him to talk with me.
As she was opening the door to my room, I sensed from the Holy Spirit that this man belonged to God.
It turned out his father, who had died, was a preacher and he had gone to his meetings when he preached in South Chicago and later in Oklahoma.
This young man is now 32 and he began speaking about the Bible and mentioned Galatians 5 and how he was now evaluating what he did by Galatians 5, concerning whether or not to do this.
Galatians 5
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
I was delighted to hear him say this and I encouraged him to continue to evaluate using this scripture to see if what he was doing was of God.
We gave him one of the ministry books and I shared examples as led by the Spirit.
And I spoke a lot to him about the importance of following the Holy Spirit who is in us. He seemed to understand and I was hopeful for him, though he seemed to be very young in the faith, I think he was in the faith.
