What does it mean to obey the Spirit? When the Apostles were confronted by the religious leaders for preaching about Jesus after having been told to desist, they responded that it was better to obey God, than men. It was the Spirit that anointed, empowered and urged them on in proclaiming Jesus as Lord and Savior. They were following the lead of the Spirit. They were being obedient to the direction of the Spirit. They submitted their lives to do what the Spirit told them to do, in spite of the consequences. How attentive do we listen to the move of the Spirit in our lives? Are we bold in faith to do what the Spirit urges us to do, in spite of any consequences? We have many timid Christians in comparison to those who are bold in the Spirit. Whom do you choose to obey? Yourself, the world or the Spirit? Come, Holy Spirit, stir in me the grace of faith and obedience.
