What an amazing night we had last night at worship practice. The Holy Spirit poured fourth much needed encouragement to each one on the team. What precious people God has privileged us to be around.
How God touched my heart and filled me with such joy as each person so lovingly prayed for another. The prophetic words and words of encouragement were renewing and refreshing the saints. Spirits were being stirred back into flame.
It tends to be the "quiet" ones that touch me the deepest. It's like watching the birth of a new seed breaking through the ground. You just know it's going to bring forth fruit in its season! You just want to shout out "keep growing...don't stop". I think I witnessed a few growth spurts last night! Encouragement is the Miracle Grow of God!
The "fruit inspectors" are the ones that keep making you aware that you do not labor in vain. That what you do counts and is effective. They are the ones that remind you of the purpose and the plan that God has for you, and recognize the food that you serve from the Master's table. They are also the ones that wash you, polish you and present you to others in a way that you often do not see yourself.
Then you have the "transporters" that help bring you from the place where you are to the place God desires you to go. When you have no strength or you don't know how God is ever going to do something, they carry you in the Spirit and place you before the throne and wait with you until God moves on your behalf.
1 Thess 5:11 says, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
