There are times I am afraid to share with people what God has been doing in my life. Usually what happens is I feel a real stirring in my heart and God takes over . I go up and share whatever is on my heart. By the next day, I feel , oh boy silly me! I shouldn’t have… I better not do that anymore! What was I thinking? Can anyone relate to this? Is that what happens to you or do you just not share at all because you are afraid that is what will happen? Somehow , I don’t think I am the only one like that, help me God , if I am…. No help me anyway God, cause I need it rather I am alone or not!
I want to let the Holy Spirit take over in all areas in my life. Many times the Lord’s will , will be that I stay quiet. His Spirit is able to guard my tongue when I shouldn’t say anything. I think we need many quiet moments! We need to have a listening ear for other people and worship Him even in our thoughts! But there are also times we need to raise our voices in praise for Him . Breathe on me Lord, and cause me to worship deeper and deeper. When You do want me to speak, take over and use me to speak your words through me. And that there Lord I never need to be ashamed of or feel silly the next day!
May God just take over our buildings as we worship together and maybe unexpected things will happen. Maybe the singing will get a even louder and he will be greatly praised! Maybe we will all get out of our comforts zones( ME!) And we will be like these were in the following passages I posted below. That is my desire for myself and it is my desire to continue worshipping the Lord with God’s family! (I am so thankful for all of you!)
Acts 2
Coming of the Holy Spirit
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” 13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘ And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.
21 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Shall be saved.

You are not alone. I think I find it most difficult to share things that God is doing or teaching me in my life with other Christians that I know and see in person (as opposed to those on the internet that I've never met in person)
I suppose I feel they are going to judge me and my knowledge (lack of) of the Lord. I'm just not smart or holy enough to know what I'm talking about....at least that's how I feel about it afterward.
Probably a tactic of Satan.
