Hoist The Sails

When those massive sailing ships would get away from the docks and head into the open waters those large sails would be hoisted and unfurled to catch the winds. The wind became the driving force to move those huge ships from port to port. It is amazing how much power is in the wind. It is also amazing what can happen when you harness that power.

A new wind is blowing at Heritage Baptist Church. A fresh touch of the Holy Spirit. I see it in the lives of different ones as they grow in their relationship with God. I see a new hunger for God. I see a greater commitment to private devotion.

I also see a new move of God in our worship gatherings. A sweet unity among the people. A hunger for worship in spirit and truth. I yearning for the word of God to nourish our hungry souls. I see a willingness to step out of our comfort zones to reach out and be the church outside the walls Jesus has called us to be. I see more faith building. I see God drawing the right people and putting them in key positions as we move forward.

Heritage hoist your sails. The wind of the Holy Spirit is blowing in our midst. He is at work. He is reviving our hearts. He is reigniting passion for the work of building God's kingdom. He is empowering our ministries. He is uniting our hearts around a vision to reach Parker County. He is pushing us outside the safe holy huddles through doors into a broken hurting world.

Hoist your sails in your personal devotions. He is kindling a passion like you have never known. He is leading you to where He is working so you can join Him. He is teaching life changing truth. He is taking us where we have never been before. He is breaking chains. He is transforming us.

Let the wind of God through His Spirit catch our sails and drive us fully into His will. Let us chart our course to follow His leadership. Where He blows may we follow. This is an exciting time. This is a time of great opportunity. There is a fresh wind blowing and Heritage we want to hoist our sails and catch it. He is leading us on a grand kingdom adventure. My sails are hoisted and my will is surrendered to whatever He wants to do and wherever He wants to take us. I hope you will do the same.
