17 October 2010 - ENCS

The Holy Ghost Stories series was continued by Pastor Harris
For learning about the Acts of the Holy Spirit helps prepare us
Proverbs 4:23 says to "guard your heart"
For with the heart, all things must start

Pastor spoke on Acts chapter three verses one to ten
The story of the crippled man who begged again and again
The first miracle was that Peter and John noticed him
It was God's intent, not just a whim
Pastor referred to Isaiah chapter sixty one verse one
"The Spirit is on me" because of what the Lord has done
There is link - if the Holy Spirit is in us,
Then of others we take time to notice

If this is not the case, per Matthew 13:15
It is because calloused our hearts have been
Calloused hearts lead to closed eyes and ears
And heartfelt understanding never appears
Reading from Mark 6 verses seven and eight
People's hearts and words are often separate
For we must hold on to the commands of God
And on traditions of man we should sometimes trod

Then Pastor moved on to the harder part
Talking about how we can get a new heart
We read from Ezekiel 36 verses 26 and 27
About getting a heart of flesh from God in heaven
By allowing Him to our hearts of stone kill
Our hearts can be changed to follow God's will
Then to Acts 3 verses 6-8 Pastor did return
About Peter's healing power we did learn
Reading ahead in Acts chapter five verse fifteen
People were healed even if Peter's shadow was seen

In conclusion, from our chains we must be freed
In that way, we can always notice others in need
So while the worship team sang of the same
To the front, many calloused hearts came
