Following the Spirit's Leading - Charismatic (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Source: Pastoral testimony81 words
A pastor felt prompted to cancel his sermon and open the service for prayer. It made no sense—he'd prepared all week. "Lean not on your own understanding." He trusted the prompting. During prayer, a visitor broke down weeping and gave her life to Christ. She'd planned to end her life that night but came to church first. The prepared sermon wouldn't have reached her; the Spirit's leading did. "In all your ways acknowledge Him"—including the ways that make no logical sense.
