It seems to me that God has been doing some cool new stuff in my life in the last month. I am currently in two small groups. My ladies group meets on Wednesday night at Trinity Church and we are studying Beth Moore's Living Beyond Yourself. Our couples group meets on Tuesday nights and is studying Beth Jone's Getting a Grip on the Basics. Both are incredibly awesome studies. A couple of weeks ago I was studying the Holy Spirit in both. And God taught me some pretty awesome things.
1. Holy Spirit is alive and active (I did already know this but I love that fact)
2. I do not fully yeild to the Spirit (I was being a control freak)
3. I know that I am filled with the Holy Spirit
4. The diffence between speaking in tongues as a gift and speaking in tongues as a prayer language. This was hugely liberating for me. Not all have the GIFT of speaking in tongues (public) which requires an interpretation but I DO believe we all have the oppurtunity to speak in tongues as a private prayer language.
It was amazing how he revealed these things to me. I was truly questioning the truth. In the course of 24 hours he taught me scripture and gave me revelation. God is good!

I can relate to #2 big time. This was the big revelation God gave me last weekend at Chrysalis. I didn't think I was a control freak but God showed me that I try to control my emotions - big time. The upside to that is I don't get hurt easily, but the downside is I don't let God help me deal with my issues and I also don't get to experience pure joy!
So that's just cool to hear what God is teaching you too. God IS good!
Sarah, How cool about what you are learning about the Holy Spirit. I remember a few years ago when I learned the difference between the gift of Tongues and a prayer language. It was so freeing to me. I realized I could seek to prayer in a deeper level to God, but that it was not something that had to be shared with others. How exciting for you.
