Lead by the Spirit

On May 25th, more than 100 leaders joined us for our second Enrich leadership conference of the year.

We continued our Kingdom Leading series digging deep into leading by the power of the Holy Spirit. June taught on our identity in Christ and how our spirits, souls and bodies are transformed by the Holy Spirit. I taught on the fruit of the Spirit as evidence of that transformation (Galatians 5:16-25), and how the Holy Spirit gifts us with power for building ourselves up and leading our churches (I Corinthians 12:1-12). June followed with teaching and prayer for baptism in the Holy Spirit, and Pastor Abram concluded with a powerful lesson on healing for our bodies and minds.

“but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control…” (Galatians 5:22-23)

We need the Holy Spirit working in us to bear this fruit in our lives. Given our human natures, we need supernatural help to love the way God does, have supernatural joy and peace through difficult times, remain faithful through all circumstances, and have self-control when our flesh wants what it shouldn’t have. As followers of Christ, we will be recognized by our fruit.

“God has given me power to go out to the world to show His power and lead people to salvation. This conference has given me courage. I have learned that God wants us to be complete and filled always with His Spirit, and I have gained insight about God’s Spirit in me.” – Nakeli Masilo Shadrack
