In an article for Charisma News, Lee Grady shares seven ways how we can encourage a greater move of the Holy Spirit in our churches.
He starts out by sharing how he recently spoke at an Anglican Church men’s conference in Uganda where he quips, ‘these were not your grandmother’s Anglicans’ because they were singing, dancing in the aisles, speaking in tongues, and prophesying.
If we want the Holy Spirit to move in our Western churches, here are the seven things that we should be doing:
- Teach about the Holy Spirit often;
- Leave time for altar ministry;
- Host small groups where people can use the Holy Spirit’s gifts;
- Train people in spiritual gifts;
- Offer “teaching moments” to explain spiritual gifts;
- Expose your church to ministries that flow in the anointing; and
- Give time for testimonies.
I am excited by this article because as the days grow darker, we will need more of the Holy Spirit in our lives: How to Encourage a Move of the Holy Spirit in a Dry Church
