My Fun Five (And Two Bonuses)

Bloganuary writing prompt
List five things you do for fun.
  1. There’s nothing like worshipping God in Spirit and in truth. I love to put on heart-felt worship music and pour my heart out in adoration to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as I sing along.
  2. I’m thrilled when I pray in tongues (languages that I don’t know) and experience God’s Spirit flowing from deep within me like rivers of living water.
  3. I’m excited when I gather with other passionate Christ-followers and together we listen to the Holy Spirit and then each one say and do what the Spirit prompts us to.
  4. I love to listen to God’s still small voice speaking inside of me, then writing what I hear and posting it on my blog, on Facebook, and on X.
  5. I really enjoy the challenge of reading the Bible with an open, humble heart while letting the words burn in my heart and then trying to live them out and obey them in my daily life.
  6. (Bonus #1) I love praying out loud over other people and being amazed at how God’s love for them pours out of my heart. I know that it is supernatural because His compassion overflows from within me even for people I’ve never met before.
  7. (Bonus #2) It fills me with great peace and joy to focus on the living, ever-present Jesus throughout the day and night and to be led by His Spirit as I experience what the Bible calls, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

When people are taught about God before they have encountered the risen Jesus Christ, they have head knowledge but don’t know how to be led by the Spirit. To be led by God’s Spirit we must be aware of, attentive to, and activated by His presence.

Let God’s Spirit prompt
(“Hear what the Spirit is saying,”)
What you do and say
(“Walk in the Spirit,”)
And soon you will stomp
(“The God of peace will soon
Crush Satan under your feet,”)
And drive fear away
(“Perfect love casts out fear,”).

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
