Driven By The Power Of The Holy Spirit
On this day, Catholic parishes world-wide are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. As we celebrate the historical outpourings of the Holy Spirit, we must also realize that we do not yet have all that God wants as a result of the Holy Spirit filling us. We must have more anointing, power, and authority to impart His gospel to our communities and to bring His Kingdom to earth. When Jesus was baptized, He was impelled by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness (Mark 1:10-12); the power of the Holy Spirit continued to be a force behind His ministry on earth. The ecclesia today needs to be driven and led by the Holy Spirit, just as Christ was in His ministry. What is blocking us from receiving the full, dynamic leading of the Holy Spirit? The answer is in our oneness. For it was only when “ they were all with one accord in one place” (Acts 2:1) that the Holy Spirit was poured out upon them. Today, let us not just celebrate history. Let us make history! We press in with all of our hearts to see one body, one faith with one Lord, and one baptism of the Holy Spirit of power and anointing that will bring forth the Kingdom of God in our day.
