ACTS 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
I did a study a while back about the evidence of a true movement of God. Of course the fruits of the Spirit (Gal.5) Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness , Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control are indicators of a life lived in Christ but a "movement" is something that is happening among people. I love this list of things that are evidence of when God is moving and alive :
*Strong commitment to prayer
*Genuine reliance on Holy Spirit
*Sincere repentance and personal confession
*Serious accountability
*Deep desire to walk close with Christ
*Generous givers
*Great emphasis on the Word of God
*Aware of all issues that impact the moral and spiritual life of community
*Dramatic demonstration of reconciliation and restored relationships
*Strong families
*Crazy on fire heart for evangelism
Each one of us shared this morning which one of these jumped out to us. Each of us chose a different one ...which was kind of cool!!! . Thank you Lord for the reminder of what it looks like in our lives when you are moving.
