What an incredible time of encouragement and strengthening from the Holy Spirit we had last weekend. We are so grateful to John and Annie Hughes for coming to be with us and sharing with us all that the Lord had laid on their hearts. So grateful too, for all that they released over us during ministry.

As the people of God, here at Encounter, we are committed to ‘leaning in’ to all that it means to be Filled with the Spirit & Led by the Spirit. It is why I am so excited about this weekend’s message called ‘Led by the Spirit.’

As I read scripture I am reminded, again and again, that true revival begins with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us. We must never forget that the early Church was empowered by His strength and grace, through the Spirit, to bring God’s hope to the lost and hurting, and that He desires to do the same through us today.

To live a Spirit-filled life, we must depend on His grace alone and God reminds us that His grace is made perfect in our weaknesses. This means that we must surrender to the Holy Spirit’s power and wisdom and allow Him to help us bring revival to the world around us.

It is God’s greatest desire to bring healing to our hurting world, and He invites us to help him do it, as we co-labour with Him
