Winter Bible Seminar 2011- Thursday

ThursdayThursday, February 24. Kirk DuBois ministered in the 8:30 a.m. session on the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Bible tells us in Luke chapter 4 that Jesus, Who was “full of the Spirit,” was led by the Spirit into the wilderness (v. 1). After being tempted for 40 days, Jesus returned “in the power of the Spirit” (v. 14). “I believe there are a lot of Christians who are full of the Spirit,” Rev. DuBois said, “but they aren’t operating in the power of the Spirit because they haven’t learned how to deal with what’s in the wilderness.”

In the 9:30 a.m. service, Tad Gregurich ministered on “Increasing Our Capacity.” Many times when people think about increase in some area, they consider it for their own benefit. But we need to increase with a different goal in mind. “The Body of Christ isn’t going to increase until you increase,” Rev. Gregurich said, “because that gives us a greater capacity to reach a lost and dying world.”

Lynette Hagin reminded her hearers during the 10:30 service that “God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Rom. 8:28 NLT). “Whatever’s happening, ask the Lord, ‘What benefit can come out of this?’” Mrs. Hagin said. “The situation is going to turn around for my good, and God is going to use it to minister to someone else. We need each other.” Mrs. Hagin emphasized the need to keep our relationships strong—especially with our Heavenly Father and, if we are married, with our spouse. The service ended with the whole congregation praying for relationships.

At some time we all encounter situations in which we don’t know what to do. But during the Thursday evening Winter Bible Seminar service, Kenneth W. Hagin reminded the congregation that the Holy Spirit Who resides inside us always knows what to do. We can learn to pull on that anointing, fulfill our call, and meet the needs of others. We can be on top of every situation and succeed everywhere we go. We don’t have to sit around waiting for things to get better. We can go forward in the power of the anointing and take back what the devil has stolen!
