Expecting the Fresh Encounter with God

The convocation is coming upon us very soon.

Are we ready and willing to yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit? Will we surrender ourselves to God and be led by the Holy Spirit to do what God has called us to do? Are we willing to hear what the Spirit is speaking to our hearts?

What is going to happen at Dai Hoi Lien Huu Tin Lanh Giam Ly this year at Trinity UMC? What is the Spirit of God going to say to the Vietnamese National Caucus churches, to the pastors, lay leaders and those near and far coming to check it out to see what God has in store for us?

What are we gathering to do? What should one expect to receive when attending the Convocation this year? Will it be different from last year or the year before?

Will we spend more time experiencing God through worship and praise? Will we hear from the servants of God who are so on fire for God who will deliver God-sent messages which will stir and move our hearts into action? Will we be learning about the structure, the rules, the grants available, and the things coming from the experience, knowledge and wisdom of man, or will we allow ourselves to be touched and moved by the mighty hand of God to set us on fire for the Lord?

Will we expect a fresh fire of God's Spirit presence, power and His anointing moving among us, coming upon us, empowering us to be His witnesses? Will the presence of God be welcomed, and will His power be manifested there? Will God be free to move and to do whatever He wants to do in His Church?

Will it be worth our time, money and effort to set aside precious time to come and learn something new from the Word of God? What is the Spirit of God saying to the Church today?

The Spirit will make it known to us in His time. He will do what He wants to do in and through His people and the body of Christ. You and I just have to be ready and available to be touched and to be used by the Spirit. The Father's will and plan shall be accomplished in and through the Body of Christ.
