Powerful Yet Sensitive Spirit
- The Holy Spirit is both mighty and gentle, able to empower yet be grieved or quenched by our actions.
- Recognize this tension to cultivate sensitivity and feed the Spirit's flame rather than quench it.
When The Spirit Redirected Paul
- Jim Cymbala recounts Acts 16 where the Spirit forbids Paul from certain regions and then directs him by vision to Macedonia.
- That lead redirected the gospel into Europe and shows God's subtle, protective guidance.
