Renewal Weekend
Renewal Focused Weekend starts Tomorrow
How can I be filled with the Spirit?
5 kinds of people in the book of Acts
1 Longing to be filled (Acts 2.2-4)
2 Receptive (Acts 8.14-23)
3 Hostile (Acts 8.1,3; 9.1-2)
4 Uninformed (Acts 19.1-9)
5 Unlikely (Acts 10.44-47
+from the Alpha Course
The gracious action of the Holy Spirit sees none of the above as obstacles to His coming. He fills those longing, receptive, hostile, uninformed, and the unlikely.

5 Hinderances to receiving the Holy Spirit
1 Doubt
2 Distraction
3 Disappointment
4 Fear
5 Inadequacy
My prayer for you this weekend, Trinity, is that God would remove the hinderances and fill you fresh with His Holy Spirit.
An old prayer of the Church for the Holy Spirit to come:
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
