My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

Do you see the Spirit move in your life? Acts 5-6
You can't read any parts of Acts without see and hearing about the movement of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the apostles, believers, and the Church. In Acts 5:32 Peter tells the religious leaders that God "gave" the Holy Spirit to all those who called upon God for salvation and obey Him in repentance and faith. The story about the married couple in the beginning of Acts 5 (Annanis and Sapharia) is an example of the Holy Spirit's work. The only way Peter would know that they conspired to lie to the church and God was because the Holy Spirit had to tell him. It was the Spirit of God who unlocked the doors of the prison and set Peter and company free. The Spirit's work in the lives of believers is paramount to our victory in Christ. In Romans 8 we are told we are lead the the Spirit. The Spirit's interaction in our lives is evidence of our salvation. We can see that has a fear (see the married couple) or freedom (see prison scene). Yielding to the Spirit is the way we live our life as believers. He was given to us to comfort us and teach us and guide us and strengthen us: All at the same time of giving glory to God and speaking of Christ not Himself. Let's embrace His movement in our lives.
