Week Two

Written By Melissa Rightmire

Thanks for following along and making it to week 2! It is my prayer that as you read you are open to hearing what the Holy Spirit is saying. Imagine with me that when the Christian church first began after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, all the new believers had was the Apostles teachings and the Holy Spirit. The Apostles would gather people together in a particular location, share the gospel, teach them a little bit about what it means to follow Jesus and then they would move on to do it again. The groups of new believers had no choice but to rely on the counsel of the Holy Spirit to continue to grow in their faith. They would get an occasional letter from an Apostle, but they did not have the privilege we have today of being able to open a book and read the scriptures at will.

Is it possible for me and you to rely this heavily on the Holy Spirit to teach us? He hasn’t changed. His whole purpose is to counsel and teach. Once again, I remind you to pray every time before you read that the Holy Spirit will be your teacher. He will teach if you will open your heart and eyes to what He wants to show you.

Thanks for such strong participation in week 1! I love that so many of you are commenting on what you are hearing from the Lord and what is interesting or challenging. Let’s keep doing that!

I am praying for all of us as we read this week.
