Getting in Tune With the Spirit is Like Learning to Balloon
A group can’t learn ballooning
By listening to a lecture on hot air.
They need to be untethered
And go careening in the clouds,
Controlled by the currents of the wind.
A church can’t learn the gifts of the Spirit
By listening to a lecture on the Bible.
They need to be unprogrammed
And go soaring in God’s presence
Controlled by the wind of the Spirit.
“The wind blows wherever it pleases.
You hear its sound, but you cannot tell
Where it comes from or where it is going.
So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
–Jesus (John 3:8)
A world full of hate needs love!
Love is not learned by lecture,
But by listening to ordinary people.
In ekklesia, men and women listen
To everyday people sharing their heart,
And discover love for others,
They never knew they could love!
