Do you move when the Spirit speaks to you to move? Mark 13-14

Mark 14:13-16 (NASBStr)

And He *sent two of His disciples and *said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him; and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.” The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

Have you ever had an unction from the Holy Spirit and you didn't know why?   Think of this story the next time you sense that urging.   Someone, a man, who is never identified by Christ, has been moved by the Spirit to prepare an upper room setting for the Savior and the disciples to enjoy the Passover meal. (Perhaps another lesson for us is the comparison of this man non-notoriety mentioned here and the story of the women mentioned earlier in the chapter who poured expensive oil on Christ.  She is said to have a reputation forever and this man doesn't have his name mentioned.)   Whoever this gentlemen is, we have this wonderful story of his work allowing the ministry of Christ to continue.   It is in this room we have the wonderful narrative of John 14-17.  It is in this room we hear the message of Peter's denial and Judas' betrayal.  It is in this room we hear the pain of His death but the hope of His resurrection.  It is in this room we are given the blessing of the Lord's Table and the Lord's Return.  Whoever this was, he obeyed the quiet and still unction of the Holy Spirit.   It is doubtful, at the time, he had any idea what he was doing.  He simply would have felt like a puzzle piece being moved from one place on the table to the other.  It is only after the narrative of the gospel is complete that we see the beauty of his obedience and the necessity of his follow-through.  So, too, with our work for Christ today.  We may never know, this side of Glory, the reason for our obedience to the moving of the Spirit to do this or that.  But, we can be assured God will use it for His glory and His ministry to mankind.
