There’s a right way and a wrong way to respond to God when He moves. Actually, God is always moving, but the question is “are we moving, and in what direction?” In this message, by using the illustration of a football game, Pastor Chris shows us what we gain by being a “participant” and what we lose by being a “spectator.” Participants are on the field occupied with what God is doing and applying effort for a greater outcome, while spectators are only judging the value of entertainment taking place on the field. When Jesus ministered on the earth, there were spectators who shut down the power of God to heal and deliver, limiting what those who were there to participate could receive. This can still happen today. So let’s make the effort to participate, enabling the Holy Spirit to have His way so all can receive what they need.
PARTICIPANT OR SPECTATOR? (Respond – part 9)
