The Holy Spirit Said

Scripture:

“While they were worshiping as priests before the Lord in prayer and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “I have called Barnabas and Saul to do an important work for me. Now, release them to go and fulfill it.””

‭‭Acts‬ ‭13:2‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Observation:

This verse tells us that God’s leadership team was praying and fasting, then the Holy Spirit spoke to them about Paul and Barnabus and what He wanted them to do.  I have always wondered in the Holy Spirit spoke through a person, a unified desire or feeling, or that He spoke clearly for all to understand.  It never says, it just says, “The Holy Spirit said”.

Application:

I get jealous when I read Scriptures like this.  It “seems” like the Holy Spirit spoke extremely clearly to them and gave them direction.  I want to walk in that level of communion with the Holy Spirit.  I long to hear His voice like I hear my wife’s voice.  I want to be so tuned in to His voice that I know exactly what He wants to do at all times.  

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, speak to me more and more.  I long to hear Your words and I will obey whatever You tell me.  Help me to tune in and receive clearer revelation each day.  I long to have staff meetings where we can all clearly say, “The Holy Spirit said” do this, go there, plant a church there, etc.  I don’t want to see through a glass darkly, I want to see and hear face to face.

Yours,

Jeff
