Saying Yes to the Holy Spirit
This course explores the theme of saying “yes” to the Holy Spirit and how it can lead to many unexpected places of service to God. Following the testimony of Dr. JoAnne Lyon, we will see first how we need to surrender ourselves fully and how this often leads us to see areas of our lives that weren’t under God’s control. Surrender can lead to areas of ministry we were not expecting, such as God’s repeated call to her to do the work of biblical justice. We do not always know where God will lead us when we say “yes,” nor do we always know God’s timing. Sometimes God brings an awakening, such as in the days of Wesley and Finney. We take leaps of faith. We find out what God is doing, and then we get on board.
